How Changes in Our Brain Make Us More Susceptible to Indoctrination

American Thought Leaders | Dr. Michael Nehls [01/2024]

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Nehls, a molecular geneticist, physician, and author, most recently of “The Indoctrinated Brain: How to Successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom.”
Dr. Nehls advocates for a strong “mental immune system.” His studies look at the critical portion of our brain known as the hippocampus, which processes and indexes memories.
“But the sad thing is that in our modern society, it doesn’t grow. It shrinks. ... And Alzheimer’s is actually a result of the shrinking process,” says Dr. Nehls. “Your life experience, which makes up actually your individuality, is replaced by essentially a commodity—what everybody learns [from] the news—and it’s replaced. And you are left as a human being [who], at the extreme stage, is only remembering the narratives that would create fear and sorrow.”
And how might the spike protein contribute to this?
“What inflammation does is it actually shuts down the production of nerve cells in the hippocampus,” says Dr. Nehls.
