Dr. Michael Nellis is a physician and molecular geneticist who has deciphered the genetic causes of various hereditary diseases at German and international research institutions. He s also written a book, The Indoctrinated Brain, which explains how propaganda, neurology, nutrition, and toxicity all intersect to create a mental environment where we become more malleable. In this episode of Stay Free With Russell Brand, Dr. Nells talks about the role of the spike protein in Alzheimer s, and the role that it plays in the development of the brain, including the role played by fluoride, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals. He also explains why he believes there is a silent war against our brains, which is a terrifying idea, and how that relates to events from at least 2019, but by his reckoning, by some estimates, predates that by a significant margin.

00:02:02.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:02:05.000We've got a fantastic guest for you today.
00:02:07.000It's Dr. Michael Nells, who's written this extraordinary book, The Indoctrinated Brain, which will help us to understand how propaganda, neurology, nutrition, and toxicity all intersect to create a mental environment where we become more malleable.
00:02:23.000In our item, Here's the News, we'll be talking about decentralization Donald Trump and abortion.
00:02:29.000Is decentralization the solution to polarization?
00:02:34.000Are we going to be able to create a better, fairer, more representative world if we decentralize power?
00:02:41.000And let's use the hot-button topic abortion to analyze that.
00:02:45.000I don't know if you saw on Bill Maher's show when he mentioned abortion and murder.
00:02:50.000Hey, it's a contentious subject and we'll be looking at it a little later.
00:02:53.000For the first 15 minutes we will be on YouTube then we will be exclusively available in that sweet stream of freedom that we call Rumble and we would love you to join us there.
00:03:04.000Perhaps you should consider becoming an Awakened Wonder where you get additional content every single week, an exclusive video This week on, there's something in the water.
00:03:13.000And this is actually quite germane to Dr. Neal's stuff.
00:03:16.000Are there toxic agents that can create particular states like fluoride?
00:03:20.000I don't know if you saw Rogan and Tucker discussing it.
00:03:22.000That's this week's exclusive video that you get if you become an AwakendWonder.
00:03:27.000For a couple more days, you can use the code ISURRENDER and you will get one month free.
00:04:01.000Are we in danger of creating a zombie society?
00:04:04.000And what was the true impact of the spike protein?
00:04:08.000Remember, this is the kind of content that we do live, and many of the questions that I ask were posted by members of our AwakendWonder community.
00:04:22.000Dr. Nils, thank you so much for joining us today.
00:04:24.000Okay, thank you very much Mr. Brand or Russell for me.
00:04:30.000You're very welcome to call me either of those things.
00:04:33.000Your book, The Indoctrinated Brain, has caused quite a stir.
00:04:38.000I understand in your native Germany you have had a lot of online success because you have explained some complex ideas that might usually be left In the realm of conjecture or even conspiracy, were it not for the empiricism that backs much of your work.
00:04:58.000Can you tell me primarily, Doctor, why you believe there is a silent war against our brains, which is a terrifying idea, and how that relates to events from at least 2019, but by your reckoning, predates that by some significant margin.
00:05:19.000Yeah, I mean, for decades people live not according to our people's necessities, natural necessities.
00:05:27.000The consequences are seen everywhere in the body.
00:05:29.000I mean, we see the psilocytoid diseases coming up in high numbers, but most prominently we see a rise in depression and Alzheimer's.
00:05:39.000And depression and Alzheimer's are hallmarks of a particular part of our brain that is damaged.
00:05:47.000Based on our lifestyle, and that is what we call the hippocampus, based on its structure.
00:05:54.000We have two of them in our temporal lobes.
00:05:56.000And the seahorse is our autobiographical memory center, which gets destroyed.
00:06:01.000We see the result in Alzheimer's, but already depression is part of it.
00:06:08.000And what I found out and published in 2016 was a paper, Unified Theory of Alzheimer's Disease, where I showed that the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus is required to prevent Alzheimer's, but also to stay curious all your life, to have a high resilience, psychological resilience.
00:06:29.000And what I've recently shown is that you need this production of new nerve cells to be able to think at all.
00:06:38.000Well, sometimes thinking is part of the problem in my experience, but what is it that impedes the production of the neuro cells in the hippocampus, Doctor?
00:06:49.000Yeah, most simplistically, growing new cells means like growing anything.
00:06:54.000If you grow roots on the field, already in 1828, researchers found out, it's called the law of the minimum, that if something is missing, the growth doesn't occur.
00:07:07.000So, if you have a lack of something, then you have a problem.
00:07:10.000So, most of the problems that we had in the last decades is a missing of micronutrients, for example, certain micronutrients, but also there's a lot of the maximum certain toxins don't go well for your brain, particularly the part of the brain that is so susceptible to damage, and that is the newborn cells that we require to be able to think.
00:07:35.000So there's always a damaging process going on and that led to the highest rate of depression we've ever seen in the history of humankind in 2018-2019.
00:07:50.000And as I already alluded to in a previous book, this is essentially the reason that people accepted everything that happened in 2020.
00:08:00.000Because what they accepted was a lifestyle that is so far away from normal, even further away from what is natural, that the damage was even aggravated.
00:08:11.000So we had an increase of depression by a factor of three in the United States.
00:08:40.000And as I show in my book, every function that is based on the production of these nerve cells together is essentially what I call our mental immune system.
00:08:50.000So, what we see actually is a breakdown of the individual immune system, mental immune system, and that, of course, if it happens to many people, the immune system of society.
00:09:05.000So preceding 2019 and the pandemic and its social measures, and indeed medical and pharmaceutical measures, you are saying presumably as a result of environmental factors that induce toxins, presumably because of diet and pre-existing pharmacological Medical interventions.
00:09:29.000We were already in this primed state where the generation of necessary neurological cells had been inhibited either due to an excess toxicity or prohibition or at least limitation of necessary nutrients or other components required.
00:09:52.000So are you saying That this is just a kind of inert process that's happening as a result of big food?
00:10:02.000Are you saying that this is a deliberate process that's being orchestrated and did it significantly alter during the pandemic period?
00:10:12.000I recognize that you're saying that depression, for example, increased.
00:10:15.000It's certainly clear that a lot of diseases curiously increased and excess deaths increased.
00:10:21.000But what are you saying is the... What are the factors that could be prevented that are leading to these conditions?
00:10:38.000Well, the question of deliberate is difficult to answer because nobody says, okay, that's what I did.
00:10:45.000But if you look at the circumstantial evidence, it becomes quite convincing.
00:10:50.000For example, we know that people, even if they eat well, they don't have, for example, not enough vitamin D in their blood.
00:11:00.000Vitamin D is a very severe problem in most of society.
00:11:04.000It inhibits the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus, but also inhibits not only the mental immune system in that case, but also our physical immune system.
00:11:15.000And that was actually the major reason I started to think about it in the way I brought it about in my book, is because we knew already in summer 2020 that that all the deaths that we've seen, the real deaths of respiratory disease, not the ones which are just PCR positive and maybe died of a heart attack, but the people who really suffered from a respiratory disease, we knew already in 2020 that it is caused by what we call a cytokine storm, an overreaction of the immune system.
00:11:52.000But the cause of the cytokine storm is a lack of the regulatory hormone vitamin D. So that was totally clear.
00:12:01.000It was shown with as much proof as humanly conceivable possible.
00:12:07.000I mean this was so clear that it was for me inconceivable why the Medical societies in the world didn't push people taking vitamin D in sufficient quantities to save lives in the upcoming pandemic or next wave in the end of 2020.
00:12:26.000We see the reduction of vitamin D in the wintertime and that's the reason for the seasonality of respiratory diseases.
00:12:35.000Not only COVID, but any of them, you know, all kinds of viruses have a field day when the vitamin D is down.
00:12:44.000So, it was totally clear this is happening not by accident.
00:12:49.000There's a propaganda actually, very severe propaganda against vitamin D. For example, Medscape, one of the leading portals for information or for for healthcare professionals, published in many languages by the pharmaceutical industry.
00:13:10.000They tell us we shouldn't take any vitamin D. Vitamin D is not necessary.
00:13:15.000Actually, one professor in Germany said recently that actually the Nazis started giving people vitamins.
00:13:24.000And so if you want a vitamin D and ask your doctor for vitamin D, you actually, you are essentially a right-wing extremist.
00:13:35.000You know, you're actually following Nazi ideology.
00:13:42.000And for example, the New England Journal of Medicine just published in 2022 that even if you have a deficiency in vitamin D, you don't need to take any.
00:13:53.000And actually, healthcare professionals should stop recommending vitamin D, measuring vitamin D, or supporting the intake of vitamin D. So that's the situation where I realized there's something awfully going wrong.
00:14:07.000There's something, there's an evil force behind that, trying to tell us that we shouldn't take vitamin D. But the consequence of that is, of course, if there's a lack of vitamin D in society, then People actually die from the cytokine storm.
00:14:25.000And then I asked myself, why do they want people to die from the cytokine storm?
00:14:30.000Why do they want, really, to have people dying from COVID?
00:14:34.000Well, you can push the numbers up with PCR, but at the end of the day, you need somebody actually being killed.
00:14:40.000Where a pathologist says, yeah, that's really COVID.
00:14:43.000That was really a respiratory disease.
00:14:45.000But, of course, this can only happen if you tell people, don't take vitamin D.
00:14:51.000There was a publication in 2021, for example, that showed that it's a meta-study where they looked at all the studies that have been out there at the time and they made a calculation that at 125 nanomoles per liter vitamin D, the likelihood of dying of COVID is zero.
00:15:15.000And that's actually the level of vitamin D you find in people living in the outside, in Africa, for example.
00:15:21.000When you make measures there, you have exactly this natural level of vitamin D, around 120 nanomoles per liter.
00:15:27.000And at that level, the likelihood of dying of COVID is zero.
00:15:32.000The German Cancer Research Center published in November 2020, that's 2020, before this whole When the mRNA experimental gene therapy program started, they published 9 of 10 deaths of COVID, real COVID, could be prevented by just raising the level of vitamin D in the society.
00:15:56.000The whole proof was out there, but nobody, no healthcare professional, at least not the majority, cared about that.
00:16:03.000And from the official side, we were told there's no alternative to the mRNA.
00:16:10.000Now, we're stopping the interview at this exact point before you hear the answer to that exquisite and interesting question.
00:16:19.000To see the rest of the conversation, you have to click the link in the description, come over to Rumble, and remember, consider becoming an Awakened Wonder.
00:16:27.000That way, you will be part of a movement that cares about you and part of an awakening that, Lord alone, I believe the world needs sincerely.
00:16:39.000Now doctor, it seems absurd to me that at the height of the pandemic, in all of its various iterations and permutations, there were on some, well indeed I think that talking about vitamin D along with natural immunity, was one of the sanctioned and censored subjects, or some of the sanctioned and censored subjects relating to this, and of course the What seemed like somewhat rational measure at the time of locking people in their homes, closing beaches, closing parks, not endorsing exercise.
00:17:21.000Are you proposing that Along with a campaign to condemn and dissuade people from taking vitamin D, is part of a larger plan to generate the conditions for what exactly?
00:17:45.000What is the benefit, Dr. Nels, of this complex and seemingly downright evil plan?
00:17:56.000Well, first of all, what they ensured is that they have a killing rate from COVID based on the lack of vitamin D, which of course led people, including all the measures that have been taken in 2020, that the only exit that people had was taking the shot.
00:18:16.000Okay, the shot itself was no salvation, because as it was already known from SARS-CoV-1, the spike protein is pro-inflammatory, highly pro-inflammatory, and the modifications that have been done in With the bioengineering of the furin cleavage site in the S1 protein, which leads to an S1 subunit being cleaved off after the production of the protein in our body, this S1 subunit can easily transverse the blood-brain barrier, so it goes into the brain.
00:18:55.000And from my research on Alzheimer's, I know that neuroinflammation is at the heart of the blockade of the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus.
00:19:04.000That means it's at the heart of the depression and Alzheimer's rates that we are seeing.
00:19:11.000So we should actually reduce neuroinflammation, but not enhance it.
00:19:15.000But what the spike protein does as one subunit, it actually starts a neuroinflammatory cytokine storm in the brain, blocking the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus and shutting down the mental immune system.
00:19:30.000And even worse, and now comes the second part to answer your question, if you don't produce these new nerve cells, and in layman terms, you have to see the hippocampus as our diary, the diary of our life.
00:19:45.000It records everything that we think, what we encounter, everything that we feel during the day.
00:19:55.000You have to start a new page every day.
00:19:58.000And in order to start a new page, you need the production of these new nerve cells.
00:20:02.000If you don't have no production of these new nerve cells, you don't have a page turner.
00:20:07.000You start to scribble on the same page again.
00:20:10.000That means if you are a fear monger the whole day, which we were, and you have no production of new nerve cells because they are shut down by either unnatural lifestyle 2020 or by the spike protein, then you start to overwrite pre-existing memories.
00:20:29.000That means you reduce your personality, your individuality, and you replace it by whatever you are told under fear.
00:20:36.000So Doctor, you're saying that prior to the pandemic period, there were environmental, dietary, sociological measures that reduced the ability to create necessary neurological material to ensure a strong mental immune system and the necessary ongoing protection of the brain.
00:21:00.000And then, as if by some astonishing coincidence, the measures that were introduced during the
00:21:06.000pandemic explicitly to temper and control and expedite the problem made it worse.
00:21:18.000Now you've got this diagram, which seems to me to be more behavioral than neurological, called the vicious cycle of indoctrination.
00:21:27.000Can we have that up on the screen now so that I can see it and so that our audience can see it?
00:21:32.000Now this vicious cycle of indoctrination, Dr. Nails, can you talk us through this?
00:21:39.000I mean, of course I can see the blockade of the hippocampal production, a new index of neurons is a significant box, but it's a complicated diagram to understand.
00:21:48.000Can you talk us through the key points and how it pertains to what you've described to us already, please?
00:21:56.000Can someone put it up on Zoom for Dr. Nels?
00:22:02.000Also, you're supposed to have invented it, so you should have memorized it, unless your own hippocampus is falling apart at the seams because you're absolutely off your nut on Pfizer-Covid booster shots.
00:22:16.000No, I could have done that, but I want to make sure that when I talk about something, you can actually follow.
00:22:25.000The mental immune system, which is blocked by the blockade of these production of nerve cells, leads to a reduction in psychological resilience.
00:22:36.000Which means you have a lack of curiosity because you have to be resilient to open new doors.
00:22:45.000Because everything that's behind a new door, a new question that you might ask to a fact that you don't know, might give you an answer you don't like.
00:22:54.000So you have to have some resilience to actually be able to ask questions.
00:23:01.000But if this production of your nerve cells is down, then you have not this curiosity, you don't have this high-level resilience, and then you don't ask questions, even if it might be necessary for your survival.
00:23:15.000That's why I call it actually the mental immune system.
00:23:18.000compared to the physical immune system that helps you survive attacks from pathological microorganisms.
00:23:26.000We had talked here about attacks from pathological macro-organisms, which usually come on two legs.
00:23:33.000So, in order to survive attacks from pathological macro-organisms... That's people!
00:23:42.000A pathological macro-organism's a person.
00:23:47.000I mean, that could be a bird, of course, but you know what I'm talking about.
00:23:51.000So the point is, these microorganisms that could be toxic to you, that might impose rules to you that are nonsensical, you have to question them.
00:24:02.000But if your immune system is down, you don't do that.
00:24:05.000You actually fear the answer you might get.
00:24:46.000It's one of the best damn foundations in the world.
00:24:47.000Can we go three ways on me, Dr. Niels, and the diagram just for our stream, if that's okay, guys?
00:24:56.000They published a paper where they showed that, you know, we know that the hippocampus is shrinking dramatically if you have a post-traumatic stress disorder.
00:25:06.000But what they showed in a paper in 2016 or 2017 is that even if you think about a trauma, you don't have to experience it.
00:25:15.000Just thinking about it intensively leads to the same consequences.
00:25:19.000It's called pre-traumatic stress disorder.
00:25:22.000So you shrink your hippocampus by just being fear-mongered heavily.
00:25:27.000And so the shrinking of the hippocampus leads to a shrinking of your self-esteem yourself.
00:25:37.000The media just had to tell us, well, this is what all the others are doing, so please do it as well.
00:25:46.000And of course, you don't want to be on your own if you have a dwindling self-esteem.
00:25:51.000And what I have also shown is that you lose your ability for critical thinking.
00:25:56.000It's quite simply explained because every thought that comes into our mind, everything that we plan and what we want to do, these are just circuits in our brain, just brain waves.
00:26:12.000The only way to keep your thoughts and remember what you are thinking is by having your diary hippocampus.
00:26:20.000And without these new nerve cells, thinking, actually critical thinking, any kind of thinking, is clearly impeded.
00:26:29.000And so, So, you're trapped, essentially, in what Kahneman, the psychologist who died recently, got the Nobel Prize for.
00:26:40.000You're trapped in what he calls System 1, that is stereotypical behavior, instinctive behavior, meaning you run with a group, you're not standing up and fight against the problem on your own.
00:26:52.000And so, essentially, you're left alone and what happens is you accept every measure that is ongoing.
00:27:00.000Everything that is asked will be done.
00:27:02.000And even worse, here comes the indoctrination part.
00:27:28.000But how can you remember if you don't have a new page in your diary?
00:27:32.000Well, you override pre-existing memories and that's where it really becomes dangerous for you because what people are left with at the end are people who only remember not maybe good things in the past, they only remember What we are allowed to be.
00:27:53.000That means people who believe that all these threats are real.
00:27:58.000That all these threats cannot be remedied by any nation by its own.
00:28:06.000We need somebody who can overcome these worldly threats.
00:28:10.000Because we are not only talking about pandemics.
00:28:13.000pandemic threats, we are talking about climate change, we are talking about wars everywhere, which of course, all of them could be world wars at the end.
00:28:24.000And all these problems cannot be solved by a single government.
00:28:28.000And we are seeing now the result of that.
00:28:30.000So for example, in May, it's not far away now in one month, the World Health Organization will be Put into a position where they can rule the world.
00:28:40.000I mean, based on everything from pandemic to climate issues, they have the saying without checks and balances.
00:28:49.000And now I'm delighted to bring you a short message from our glorious sponsors today.
00:28:54.000We're very happy to bring you our content in conjunction with our wonderful commercial partners.
00:29:10.000It's silently harming our health and well-being.
00:29:13.000TWC Restful Sleep Formula, crafted by awake doctors, although they can sleep when they need to, like Dr. Peter McCulloch and his Chief Medical Board at The Wellness Company, is the product we want to talk to you about right now.
00:29:24.000It's an all-natural alternative to melatonin.
00:29:26.000Did you not know that melatonin disrupts your hormones?
00:30:03.000So you believe that these kind of, up until recently, rather anodyne, bureaucratic organisations, or at least that's how they were regarded, even if their origins were somewhat more nefarious, are on the precipice of being granted unprecedented power.
00:30:22.000And it's The kind of power that would be required to augment such an extraordinary and all-encompassing plan as that which is outlined in your rather wonderful diagram, because you're talking about something
00:30:40.000You're talking about no less than a kind of 360 sphere, panepticon of unavoidable and irresistible power.
00:30:50.000Now can you tell me a little about the great mental reset I can hear that you've touched upon that subject, obviously, in your most recent answer.
00:31:02.000Pandemic amnesia, which I believe you've just described to a point, but I'd like you to be more, just to be more precise and to use the terms themselves.
00:31:13.000And who, if, who do you consider to be Behind these measures, or are we conversationally inventorying some of the institutions and individuals just in the litany we're touching upon conversationally, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the WHO, or do you believe that even such high-profile figures and such observable entities are merely a veneer behind which true power operates?
00:31:48.000Well, I'm a scientist, so my book is not about any conspiracy theory.
00:31:58.000I only work with the facts that are available to everybody.
00:32:01.000And, uh, but if you look at Klaus Schwab's book, you know, this dystopian broker that might become reality if they actually get all, if everything works out for them and which I described in my book, uh, I think I essentially tried to write an alternative view and humanitarian alternative to this book about the reason, the big reset, the great reset is on their plan.
00:32:28.000And the greater set is not nothing more than installing a socialist operating system on humanity.
00:32:38.000And this kind of socialist operating system we can abbreviate with SOS, quite funnily.
00:32:46.000But this operating system, as you know from computer, when you work with a computer, if you want to install a new operating system you have to erase the previous one.
00:32:54.000And my book describes how it is erased, how our mental immune system and our memories are erased and are prone then to accept essentially the new operating system without any questions.
00:33:11.000And this is the biggest fear I see that we have now in the future, that humanity is not willing to fight for their freedom.
00:33:21.000To fight for their right to happiness, to develop on their own.
00:33:26.000And that we accept this operating system being installed on us.
00:33:31.000And this installation I call the mental reset.
00:33:35.000So before you accept such an absurd dystopian future for us, you have to change something in the brain.
00:33:46.000And so I assume before you are able to To have a great reset you need a mental reset and my book describes how it works.
00:33:58.000But in addition it describes also how you can prevent it.
00:34:03.000I'm excited to hear that your approach and rubric is not behavioral Or sociological, but neurological.
00:34:16.000And I suppose that each of those taxonomies ultimately amount to argots that describe the same essential problem.
00:34:27.000It's entirely possible that we could talk about What you're describing amnesia and compliance and systems of control from a political and sociological perspective.
00:34:44.000But you are saying that you can track and observe through neurological impact and neurological change movements That must be sociological, that they are happening at scale.
00:35:00.000But I just wonder, as you say, that you're not here to speculate that you're a scientist and this is based on data.
00:35:08.000Are you saying then that your trial set, as it were, is based on the increase in people with Alzheimer's, the increase in depression, the ongoing increase during the pandemic, pre-pandemic, the removal of certain foods from diet, or at least certain nutrients from diet, the escalation of certain toxins, and what is the neurological set?
00:35:38.000What are the data that we're looking at?
00:35:42.000Well, we see that we have already a shrinkage rate of the hippocampus.
00:35:46.000So, you have to see if you, for example, are 70 years old and you're not used to walk anymore.
00:35:52.000I mean, if you live in a retirement home and everything is served to you and you just walk maybe a few hundred yards a day.
00:36:02.000There were trials out there where these people are put into groups and one group actually walked for an hour a day, the other stayed more sedentary.
00:36:11.000And after one year, the hippocampus was in the walking group 2% larger, 2% in volume, while the other group had a shrinkage rate of 1.4%, which is actually quite close to the average in modern societies.
00:36:26.000So, while this trial clearly showed the hippocampus has the potential to grow a few percent per year, the data show, for example, from from the Biobank in Britain show us that from about 20,000 people have been analyzed, there's a shrinkage rate of 1.2 to 1.4% in modern societies.
00:36:50.000So we don't live according to our needs.
00:36:54.000And of course, we can ignore these needs, but we cannot ignore the consequences of those needs and anxiety rates, acceptance of measures that are harmful to us, not only to us but also to
00:37:10.000And the depression rates, the Alzheimer's rate were up to an all-time high and increased dramatically afterwards.
00:37:17.000If this is all done on purpose, I, from my point of view, I would say yes.
00:37:23.000But at the end of the day, the reader should decide as kind of a jury.
00:37:29.000That's how I put it out in the last chapter of the book.
00:37:33.000But even if I'm wrong, let's say if my assumption that this is all on purpose is wrong, it's still happening.
00:37:38.000So it doesn't matter if there's somebody behind it or not.
00:37:42.000We see a decline in cultural opportunity to develop as free individuals.
00:37:49.000This is declining based on what's going on worldwide with, for example, WHO and other groups getting empowered, but also by the mere fact that the brain is suffering worldwide and that the things that are important for humanity, like curiosity, Being together with people liking to think, liking to develop your space and your opportunities.
00:38:18.000The pursuit of happiness, let's put it simply, this is not possible anymore.
00:38:22.000And so I see, even if I'm wrong and there's nobody behind it, we need to stop it.
00:38:29.000Doctor, what do you mean by the phrase zombie society?
00:38:50.000One is called System 1, which is the stereotypical behavior, and System 2, which we actually need to think.
00:38:57.000And System 2, as I have shown, is requiring the production of new nerve cells.
00:39:02.000So if we are not producing these new nerve cells in the hippocampus, then we are essentially stuck with System 1, and we can only behave stereotypically.
00:39:12.000Another Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick, published in 2003 a seminal paper on the framework of consciousness.
00:39:21.000Where in the brain might be our consciousness?
00:39:27.000And he said that System 1, he related System 1 as a zombie mode.
00:39:32.000So a person that doesn't act consciously but just reacts stereotypically to whatever happens around him.
00:39:40.000So this stereotypical System 1 behavior he called the zombie mode.
00:39:44.000And of course if people are not able to activate System 2, because the production of these nerve cells is attacked and down, then we are all stuck in a zombie mode.
00:39:55.000And I don't want to live in a society where the majority are zombies.
00:41:49.000So please everybody go on my website on my substack or my US or English website because there you find a large article on lithium, low-dose lithium, essential dose lithium.
00:42:03.000Lithium is the most potent molecule stopping the neuroinflammation being brought about by the S1 subunit entering the brain.
00:42:15.000So, you can stop it and you actually can get rid of the brain fog very efficiently.
00:42:22.000The other thing is lithium is activating what we call microphagia, that is the eating off Molecules that are not working well, which are alien molecules in our brain or in our body.
00:42:42.000I'm pushing very hard for years to prove its essentiality, but it's for example the only substance at low dose that can stop the Alzheimer's progression.
00:42:54.000by the mere fact that it inhibits neuroinflammation. So I have seen really good results now. Also other
00:43:02.000kinds for example of neuroinflammation people who are stressed for example children with attention
00:43:08.000deficit disorder are really stressed children and we see amazing effects with low dose lithium.
00:43:15.000Doctor, you won't be satisfied, will you, till people are just sat around drinking vitamin D and lithium and causing uprisings?
00:43:24.000Grounded Angie asks, perhaps ask Dr. Nails what you think, Doctor, about self-talk, the mind-body connection and neuroplasticity.
00:43:36.000Neuroplasticity is at the heart of everything that we are doing.
00:43:39.000I mean, we are emerging every day as a new person.
00:43:43.000When we sleep, everything is rewired or many things are rewired.
00:43:47.000The plasticity is most efficiently or most obviously seen by the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus.
00:43:54.000I mean, producing new cells, new nerve cells, new brain cells is plasticity at its best.
00:44:03.000And of course, self-talk is very important.
00:44:05.000In my formula against indoctrination, the ability to talk to yourself and reconsider what you are doing, stepping essentially outside of yourself and look at yourself and see where you are and where you are heading.
00:44:20.000I think this is very important for mental health and I can only support that.
00:44:26.000Atshaman711 asks, does Dr. Nels have any opinion on the role of psilocybin in rescuing or aiding our mental immune system?
00:44:35.000And he included a photograph of himself in his pants.
00:44:43.000Yeah, I think there are many compounds out there which stimulate the production of new nerve cells and this is one of them, so at low dose actually, but you don't need them.
00:44:52.000I mean, nature has given us very simple possibilities to enhance the production of new nerve cells, just being out in the sun, walking, doing some sport.
00:45:07.000Being social, socially active, all these things are fertilizers for our brain.
00:45:12.000For example, if you just look into the eyes of your dog, for example, or of your wife, that would be better.
00:45:18.000But just being in contact with another being activates the production of oxytocin.
00:45:25.000And oxytocin is the most potent activator of neurogenesis in the hippocampus.
00:45:31.000That's why the unsocial distancing was so detrimental to people.
00:45:35.000What if your dog and wife is the same person?
00:45:44.000We've posted Dr. Nels's website and substack.
00:45:48.000I've noticed Laura would have done that.
00:45:51.000I saw it go up guys so it's all in there as well as the diagram from earlier in the conversation.
00:45:57.000So it's almost as if then the preconditions to the pandemic, the pandemic itself, the medical and sociological measures during the pandemic all had a singular trajectory.
00:47:26.000Christine Harp asks, or states actually, I've read a lot about epigenetics being the key that turns on and off genetic predisposition and she would like your thoughts on this please.
00:47:41.000We know, for example, if you are highly stressed, post-traumatic stress syndrome, or what I alluded to, pre-traumatic stress syndrome, leads to epigenetic changes in your brain, particularly in the hippocampus.
00:47:54.000For example, the receptor for steroid hormones, corticosteroid, is downregulated.
00:48:01.000And that leads to the fact that our hippocampus, which has a sensor for the stress level and is in a position where it can judge, is the stress level adequate for the situation or is it not, has a problem if you have an epigenetic downturn of the receptor.
00:48:21.000The problem you can only overcome by the production of new nerve cells that have not this epigenetic imprinting.
00:48:28.000Do you believe that we ought try to create conditions and environments that replicate the environments within which we evolved?
00:48:39.000Eating food that's available seasonally, living where possible in natural environments, avoiding processed foods and highly processed toxins in all their forms, unless necessary, and Are we saying that it would be better to naturally access vitamin D?
00:48:59.000And if that is the case, I don't know how the hell we get ourselves on lithium.
00:49:02.000I mean, people in the chat are saying they're going to be sucking on batteries to get their gums on some sweet, sweet lithium, they're calling it.
00:49:11.000So I wonder, do you think, generally speaking, we ought to try to replicate the conditions within which we evolved?
00:49:19.000Yeah, actually you'll find in my book the formula against indoctrination, which is actually a formula against Alzheimer's and other books of mine.
00:49:26.000And in this formula I show what are the areas of our life that need to be, where we have to put some attention to, where we see a difference, what our natural needs are and what our behavior is.
00:49:39.000And you'll find lots of information on that.
00:49:42.000And so my advice is we don't have to go back and live in caves like in the Stone Age.
00:50:56.000I hope you enjoyed that conversation with Dr. Michael Nells.
00:50:58.000Please consider getting this fantastic book, which I think will illuminate and educate you and give you the tools to confront a system that's plainly trying to propagandize and intoxicate you into internal incarceration.
00:51:12.000This time next year, we will be toasting sweet freedom in this glorious crow fart mug that you can get 25% off if you order it Right now if you use the code I surrender remember you can become an awakened wonder where you get additional content every single Month now you will be aware that we believe very strongly in decentralization and in here's the news today We'll be talking about Donald Trump
00:51:37.000Donald Trump's been criticised by both the Democrats and Republicans for saying that laws around abortion should be left to individual states.
00:51:44.000What is the opposition to federal decision-making really about?
00:51:47.000And in an increasingly polarised country, is it possible that decentralising power could unite the nation?
00:52:01.000Donald Trump has been criticised by the Democrats and Republicans
00:52:04.000for saying laws around abortion should be decided by individual states.
00:52:08.000But in an increasingly polarized America, isn't decentralization the very answer that we will all be considering?
00:52:18.000Isn't it curious that Donald Trump has outraged almost everyone by saying that abortion laws ought be left to individual states?
00:52:26.000Do you not agree that decentralization and moving power closer to the people affected by it has to be the solution, not with just regard to a contentious issue like abortion, around which women's rights arguments coalesce and former taxonomies such as the left and the right appear to find fissure and opposition, but all decisions Generally speaking, shouldn't democracy be as close as possible to the people affected by the decisions that are made?
00:52:55.000Conversely, isn't it terrifying when we discover that decisions are made by people who will not be affected by the decisions that they make?
00:53:03.000So, we'll look for a moment about the ever contentious issue of abortion, but we will examine more closely the idea of It was supposed to be Donald Trump's clarifying statement on abortion.
00:53:14.000or the ability of states or even smaller communities to determine how their money is spent, how
00:53:19.000they are governed, how they commune and communicate, how their judiciary is constructed, because
00:53:24.000surely in a polarized culture, the divestment of power is necessary.
00:53:28.000It was supposed to be Donald Trump's clarifying statement on abortion.
00:53:33.000A four minute video released on his Truth social media platform.
00:53:37.000Many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others.
00:53:43.000The former president and presumptive Republican nominee stopping well short of endorsing what many of his supporters are calling for, a national ban, saying each state should have its own laws.
00:53:56.000At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.
00:54:00.000Polls show the majority of Americans support access to abortion.
00:54:04.000Trump is effectively endorsing a patchwork of state bans and laws that have emerged since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a court decision that had given women the right to abortions across America for decades.
00:54:17.000Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.
00:54:24.000You must follow your heart on this issue.
00:54:27.000Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports a nationwide 15-week ban, said he respectfully disagrees with Trump.
00:54:33.000In a video posted to X, President Biden responded directly to Trump's statement.
00:54:38.000Donald Trump is the reason Rose ended.
00:54:40.000If you re-elect me, I'll be the reason why it's restored.
00:54:43.000Two campaigns digging in deeper in what could be a defining issue in this year's election.
00:54:49.000Even from that short, relatively neutral news report, you can see that this is a divisive issue.
00:54:56.000Many people will have a spiritual position on a subject like abortion and the sanctity of human life.
00:55:02.000Other people will have their own perspective based on personal experience.
00:55:07.000Doesn't that in itself illustrate the necessity for a variety of potential solutions?
00:55:13.000Not just with regard to the contentious topic of abortion, but more broadly when it comes to the investment of resources and the types of laws that a community might agree to.
00:55:23.000Isn't centralisation always going to lead to division and polarisation?
00:55:29.000Here's a curious moment from the Bill Maher show where British pundit Piers Morgan and Bill Maher discuss What the meaning of abortion is?
00:55:37.000We're all going to have strong views on abortion, aren't we?
00:55:40.000Because, ultimately, human life is sacred.
00:55:42.000Ultimately, bodily autonomy, on a variety of issues now, is continually being discussed.
00:55:47.000Let's see where this issue takes Piers Morgan and Bill Maher, while we ourselves address whether or not you agree with universal laws, one way or the other, or the maximum amount of representation in your community.
00:56:01.000Actually there are many countries in Europe where it's completely illegal to have an abortion.
00:56:08.000And if you look at Germany and France and countries like that it can be 10-12 weeks is the term limit that you're allowed to have an abortion legally.
00:56:19.000I think a lot of Americans on the left do think that this is somehow a really unique American problem or an issue that only pertains to them in terms of the legality of abortions.
00:56:30.000Actually, comparative to Europe, it's not massively dissimilar.
00:56:33.000But the thing that's crazy is at a time when America's facing so many huge geopolitical threats, where there's a huge tech revolution going on, where the economy is faced with all kinds of challenges, the idea that you're fighting an election around this issue seems to be, you know, just strange.
00:57:43.000Bill Maher there, astonishing his own audience.
00:57:46.000And I suppose what we have in the subject of abortion is the necessity of confronting what we mean when we talk about rights, when we talk about humanity, when we talk about life.
00:57:57.000In a sense, it's such a fundamental ontological question, such an important spiritual question.
00:58:03.000What are our duties and rights over life?
00:58:06.000That it's odd that it's become determined by secular ideas like the left, I suppose one might argue that life begins at the moment of conception, when there is a flash of life, when there is the potential for human life to unfold from that moment forth.
00:58:22.000And in a sense what Bill Maher is saying is extremely interesting.
00:58:28.000The aspect of this subject that I've always found fascinating when I've spoken to people who have strong pro-choice views is that by entering into the discourse we are mutually acknowledging that we are discussing something profound and significant.
00:58:41.000I mean, if you see a bunch of protesters outside a family planning or abortion clinic, again, depending on what terminology you prefer, it's not the same as having your toenails cut.
00:58:57.000I suppose where I arrive is at the point of decentralization, at the point of federalization, at the point of individual freedom and the ability of communities to set their own guidelines and laws precisely because of the complexity and because when it comes to spirituality I have my own beliefs but what are the beliefs that you feel so strongly that That you are willing to impose them on others.
00:59:23.000That you are willing to say, I believe so strongly.
00:59:25.000Now, a lot of people will say, well, murder.
00:59:28.000We're all saying the murder of a realized adult human is wrong.
00:59:39.000The state annihilates entire populations, if they can frame it correctly.
00:59:43.000So even with a subject like homicide, there are variations, degrees, vicissitudes, and qualifications.
00:59:49.000So with a subject like terminating a human life at some point whilst gestating, it's likely that there will be variation.
00:59:57.000And in fact that doesn't need to be stated because we can see that from the political and cultural landscape.
01:00:01.000There's endless variation as Piers Morgan said.
01:00:03.000Across Europe there's variation, across the United States of America there's variation.
01:00:06.000And what's plain to me is that politicians from both sides of the political aisle mobilise this subject in order to create an emotional
01:00:14.000response and to stoke division and benefit from polarisation, knowing that there are certain demographics that will
01:00:20.000always vote in one direction and others that will always oppose them.
01:00:23.000And then, as the other pundit on Bill Maher said, we won't think about economic issues and issues of power
01:00:28.000and issues of war and issues of centralising authoritarianism.
01:00:31.000The reason that I am fascinated by this subject is not because I believe all life to be sacred by,
01:00:38.000recognise and have experience of the complexity that's likely to come into people's lives around that subject,
01:00:43.000but in fact because of how we try to create systems based on principles that are difficult to understand
01:00:50.000if you have solely a material, rational and secular perspective on life.
01:00:55.000If you say, there is no God, there is no truth, there is no justice, there is no righteousness, we're born, we die, that's life, this is just a cluster of cells, if it's inconvenient to a person they should be able to make whatever choices they want to make.
01:01:08.000Like, that is a perspective that people have.
01:01:09.000Of course, of course it is, and people are entitled to have that perspective.
01:01:13.000Then from where do you undergird the rights of an individual?
01:01:18.000Because you're suggesting that there is some sanctity to the rights that we all have as individuals.
01:01:22.000In a sense, this issue, with how it functions in opposition to centralised power, demonstrates that all of us, on some level, believe that life is sacred.
01:01:31.000Either we believe that the life of babies is sacred, from the point of conception, or the life of an individual is sacred and no one should intervene in the free will of that individual and they have absolute jurisdiction over their bodies and any potential inhabitants of their bodies.
01:01:47.000That, in a sense, is a recognition by both sides that there is something in life that is sacred and that all of us want our own individual sovereignty.
01:01:55.000Both of those positions, in a sense, indicate that centralised authority will never work, that will always generate a degree of polarisation.
01:02:04.000And indeed, is that That's part of the point.
01:02:07.000Are both systems in a two-party but ultimately uniparty system benefiting from the ability to generate polarisation around certain issues that mean that we can't think straight when it comes to a whole variety of issues in which we might have more power and more control?
01:02:24.000Is that not your position if you're pro-choice?
01:02:26.000Isn't that mainly because you don't like children?
01:02:30.000But if you said you're pro-choice, that's your position too.
01:02:34.000Thank God for our commercial partners.
01:02:37.000They make our life better, and particularly in the case of Trulene's Everyday Wellness, which is an all-natural, 9-in-1 powder that boosts immune health, reduces inflammation, promotes gut health, including vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, turmeric, and Echinacea is a potion of pure wonder.
01:02:55.000Everyday wellness backed by science, inspired by Mother Nature herself.
01:03:00.000All you gotta do is stir these sachets into water and enjoy.
01:03:04.000Unless you've got one of these glorious big bags.
01:04:21.000Of course, let me know in the chat and the comments how you feel about the subject of abortion, your individual bodily authority and your right to regulate the bodies of others or where you stand on the principle of termination and murder and the sanctity of life and all of the complexity that comes together in that subject.
01:04:38.000And when you eventually are forced to acknowledge the impossibility of some centralised rule, let's consider Federalization and decentralization now.
01:04:47.000This is Chris Edwards from the Cato Institute.
01:04:49.000The problem with the federal government is that it has amassed such huge power over our lives that people get bitter when their side in the presidential race loses.
01:04:57.000Federal intervention in education, healthcare, housing, welfare, And many other economic and social areas has made people fear that the next president will impose policies they detest and view as harmful to their communities.
01:05:09.000I mean, I don't think I've ever seen Joe Biden as passionate as when he was pointing and snarling about Roe v. Wade, right?
01:05:15.000Donald Trump is the reason Roe's ended.
01:05:17.000If you reelect me, I'll be the reason why it's restored.
01:05:20.000So, obviously there is a degree of polarisation, oppositionism, mobilisation of tribalism in order to generate some gusto in a campaign that could be seen as, well, these two parties... The rise in federal spending and regulatory power has deepened anger and partisan divisions by trying to force policy conformity on a very diverse country.
01:05:39.000The federal government tries to impose one-size-fits-all policies on the nation when there is no national consensus.
01:05:44.000Federalism expert John Kincaid noted regarding federal intervention into state and local affairs, it is the root cause of polarization because it has nationalized so many issues, especially sensitive social and cultural issues such as abortion and education that were previously diffused across the 50 state political arenas.
01:06:02.000The cooperative federalism advanced by the Nationalist School of Federalism requires a national consensus on such issues, but there is no consensus.
01:06:09.000Requiring state electorates to implement sometimes hotly contested national policies appears to have considerably exacerbated national conflict in ways that threaten the institutional fiber of the republic.
01:06:20.000As Washington has further encroached on properly state, local and private activities over the decades, the share of people who trust the federal government has plunged from more than 60% in the 1960s to less than 20% today.
01:06:31.000So what Whatever your perspective is on this issue, you don't trust the state on this issue.
01:06:39.000Doesn't that suggest that we have to, where possible, devolve and decentralize power?
01:06:44.000Isn't that indeed the underlying message of diffuse communication systems that are ubiquitous and fully immersive?
01:06:53.000Our ability now to communicate immediately, directly, to vote on a variety of issues, Isn't that what we're avoiding addressing in order ultimately to preserve sets of hierarchies and institutions that benefit from corralling people together in populations of hundreds of millions, keeping us in a state of conflict when in fact we could just be going, well, this tribe over here seems to live this way and that tribe over there lives that way.
01:07:14.000In short, the way that we lived for millions of years.
01:07:18.000Americans have grown less happy with the federal government, even as the number of federal programs ostensibly created to serve them has increased.
01:07:31.000As a 2019 Cato Institute study discusses, the solution is to decentralize power by ending federal programs in state and local policy areas.
01:07:39.000Polls show that the large majority of Americans prefer state rather than federal control over education, housing, transportation, welfare, health care and other activities.
01:07:48.000Growing federal power has undermined democracy, community, diversity and political goodwill.
01:07:53.000It is a cancer on American governance and in the years ahead there will be no suspension of partisan anger unless federal power is reduced.
01:08:01.000It may seem paradoxical but the way to unite the nation and bring Americans together is to disunite power and disperse it out of Washington.
01:08:07.000So, oddly, According to this analysis, Donald Trump is right.
01:08:11.000The issue of abortion ought be left to the smallest measurable community.
01:08:16.000I mean, if you want individual choice, that's the smallest unit of governance.
01:08:20.000But if there are communities that have views, oughtn't there be some, I don't know, representative and democratic process within that community that establishes their laws?
01:08:27.000And if you don't agree with that, then I suppose you don't agree with democracy.
01:08:31.000Here's some advocacy for the principle of federalization and decentralization.
01:08:36.000When government is closer to the people, it is more likely to be held accountable by them for its successes and failures in the provision of basic services, the maintenance of order, and the fair resolution of local issues and disputes.
01:08:47.000Government tends to be more responsive when it is closer to the people.
01:08:51.000That is why democracies are more and more embracing the principle of subsidiarity.
01:08:58.000I think we could do with a little more of it.
01:08:59.000Because I'm seeing a lot of centralised authoritarianism when it comes to censorship, when it comes to surveillance, when it comes to imposing laws that have, for example, come from a WHO treaty or from the EU or from the centralised US government.
01:09:13.000And it's not It's not working, and I don't, well, actually it is working, but it's not working for you.
01:09:17.000It's working, if you centralise power, then you can be of better service, can't you, I suppose, to the interests that you really work for, because you've centralised all of that power and all of those resources, and you're able to pass laws that benefit, for example, the military-industrial complex or the pharmaceutical industry, whereas if the whole state of Texas, Florida, California, pick a state, were able to say, we're not doing that, uh-oh, now you're no longer able to serve your true masters with the same utility and efficiency.
01:09:43.000That each government function should be performed by the lowest level of government that is capable of performing that function effectively.
01:09:50.000When there are multiple layers of elected government, as in a federal or politically decentralized system, there are other benefits for democracy.
01:09:57.000lower levels of elective office can constitute an arena for training and recruiting new political
01:10:02.000leaders. Imagine schools, hospitals, police forces, military units, all governed as locally
01:10:08.000as possible. Imagine businesses, corporations, run by the people that work there. Imagine
01:10:13.000Amazon, not centralised absolutely, but every warehouse, every distribution centre democratically
01:10:18.000run. What a terrifying idea for the elite class.
01:10:21.000And these lower levels of democracy provide a more accessible means for citizens to become
01:10:25.000active in public affairs, to question their local officials, monitor what they do, present
01:10:30.000their interests and concerns and learn the skills and values of democratic citizenship.
01:10:34.000Most of us think that democracy is pointless because it doesn't matter who you vote for, you're going to get the same sort of thing, except on the key hot button issues like gun control or abortion or whatever it is that they're using to control you right now.
01:10:44.000In fact, what it should be is I'm just going to go and talk to this person and say, listen, I think this.
01:10:48.000Well, let's see what wins in the marketplace of ideas.
01:10:50.000Typically it's difficult for most citizens and organized groups to get access to the national parliament or the central ministries.
01:10:56.000They need decentralized opportunities for access to decision-making power and those points of local access are more likely to be responded to if they are accountable to the people through elections.
01:11:05.000Now what I What I've experienced in my limited involvement in such communities is everything really slows down because you have to listen to absolutely everybody and not everyone's as eloquent and everyone speaks so quickly.
01:11:16.000Not everyone can convey their ideas as well but everyone has a voice and everyone has a right.
01:11:20.000So one of the key driving unconscious modalities of our entire culture, now I'm not talking about left and right, is progressivism.
01:11:38.000What if we should slow down a little bit and get in touch with the Earth and get in touch with one another and get in touch with what we're actually doing?
01:11:45.000Maybe we should see it as an expansion out into conscious awareness rather than the telos towards some imaginary future where everything is sanitized and Apple Mac neat.
01:11:54.000Finally, decentralization of power provides an additional check against the abuse of power.
01:11:59.000Of course, because it's immediate, local and intercommunicative and responsive. Now
01:12:03.000the obvious downside it appears is the potential for decentralization to lead to
01:12:08.000disintegration. A very legitimate fear of many who are wary of federalism is that
01:12:12.000in a context of deep ethnic and regional divisions it can lead to the breakup of
01:12:16.000the country as in the former Soviet Union or the former Yugoslavia.
01:12:20.000These fears are real, but they are based on a mistaken reading of other experiences.
01:12:24.000Divided countries have disintegrated at crucial moments precisely because they did not develop over time democratic means for the devolution of power that knitted groups together in more authentic, voluntary and legitimate political union.
01:12:36.000When groups are held together in one nation, mainly by force and fear, anxious minorities may seek to secede at the first sign of a weakening of central government power.
01:12:45.000By contrast, when the national government, under the fresh political circumstances that attend the formation of a new democratic system, makes an early and sincere grant of autonomy, the consequence is almost always greater stability and unity, rather than secession.
01:12:57.000So in a sense the arguments being presented here is either voluntarily the systems, elites and institutions that benefit from centralization cede that power and allow people to run their own communities.
01:13:10.000I think the benefits of such an idea and approach is actually demonstrated through the abortion issue or it will lead to what many people fear America's on the precipice of Mass conflagration, confrontation and indeed civil war.
01:13:23.000Now maybe this is just a media device to create yet more tension and polarisation and fear and dread, but it's pretty obvious, isn't it, that after the next election it's not going to be, well the best man won, well done, is it?
01:13:39.000Maybe what we're experiencing is the failure to acknowledge a deeper truth and a deeper reality, which we can see playing out on technological planes right before our eyes.
01:13:48.000The ability to communicate, the ability to have democracies and I feel that perhaps if we look to our history, the idea that we might live in tribes that organise themselves around their own cultures and their own principles, that seems to be a pretty good template.
01:14:02.000It doesn't solve all of the problems in the world, but let's remember, we're not competing with an absolutely perfect model, are we?
01:14:07.000We are addressing the fact that we appear to be in a time of massive cultural, ecological, geopolitical, financial and environmental crisis.
01:14:15.000And no one trusts one another anymore and no one trusts any of these institutions precisely because of the reasons outlined here in these series of articles and demonstrated both in the Bill Maher piece and Donald Trump's casual suggestion that states should decide for themselves how to determine these issues.
01:14:32.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the chat?
