(Natural News)—An award-winning German author and world-renowned molecular geneticist made a bombshell revelation that the battlespace for all conflicts worldwide is cognitive – planted in a complex brain structure embedded deep into the temporal lobe called the hippocampus.
The hippocampus has a major role in learning and autobiographical memories. It was called that name because it looks like an anatomical image of a seahorse and the hippocampus is the scientific name of a seahorse.
“That’s where the warfare is taking place,” said Dr. Michael Nehls, author of “The Indoctrinated Brain,” during an interview with Brighteon.com founder Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in a recent episode of the “Health Ranger Report” (HRR).
Adams agreed, citing the wars where governments are constantly pushing out their propaganda and lies.
“There’s no real information. All is being pushed through controlled narratives. And through media that’s designed to say to you: ‘Don’t think for yourself. Don’t question anything, you’re not an authoritative source.’ You should trust and believe them no matter what – which means don’t think for yourself,” the HRR host lamented.
“It’s even worse,” Nehls said. “A certain level of information is actually coming through. It’s about installing, essentially, a new operating system in our brains, which shouldn’t be interfered by either previous knowledge or alternative views.”
He added that if one would want to modify the brain one needs to control what goes into this brain. Adams quipped that this is where narrative control, censorship of alternative views and “no one can question science” come in. According to the doctor, this happens because the psychological resilience is down. Thus, people have a high likelihood of developing depression.
“It’s not depression per se but if we can cope with life events, that’s good. And if we don’t cope with them, then depression is more likely. So, depression is essentially a clinical marker for a reduction or blocked neurogenesis, almost like a reverse relationship,” he further explained.
Neurogenesis is the formation of new neurons from neural stem and progenitor cells which occurs in various brain regions such as the sub-granular zone of dentate gyrus in the hippocampus and the subventricular zone of lateral ventricles.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Adams curiously inquired about why some people who have a very high intelligence quotient (IQ) are also extremely gullible. Nehls answered that IQ is essentially measured by the number of things one can juggle in his short-term memory at the same time. “This takes place, according to modern theory, in the frontal brain. And so we can have a high IQ, even without a hippocampus,” he said citing one person who lost his hippocampus via surgery and got 112 IQ test results.
Nehls: Purpose in life prevents hippocampal shrinkage
During the show, Nehls projected a graph of hippocampal growth from the time one is born onward from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of the National Institutes of Health.
“When you’re born, you have about three cubic centimeters in volume, 1.5 each hippocampus. There is a steep growth rate up to adulthood. Then you have a one to two percent growth rate for the rest of your life,” he said. In the same table, information from gene bank data showed that out there was a fast hippocampal shrinkage rate for 20,000 British people starting in 2019.
Adams jokingly interjected that this is why nothing in the British military works, “the missiles don’t launch and then others don’t turn on the aircraft carriers,” adding that he would hate to see the hippocampal shrinkage data of Americans. The renowned author agreed and said that it is possible to be seen in every nation because of the modern lifestyle and “it doesn’t differ too much from one country to the other.” (Related: Top 10 factors contributing to the COGNITIVE DECLINE of most Americans.)
Nehls added this is only the tip of the iceberg. Another point he raised is that the world has a chronic exhaustion society.
“People are either depleted already when they wake up in the morning. We have depression as the number one disease now. Alzheimer’s disease is now number three or number four worldwide as a cause of death and it is a consequence of several decades of suppressed neurogenesis,” he further revealed. He then presented another chart, which showed all the areas in life that are responsible for the growth of the hippocampus. It included physical activity, social life, sleep, nutrition and time.
“We need a purpose in life. Without it, we wouldn’t memorize new things. We wouldn’t explore new things. We wouldn’t be waking up in the morning and doing something noble,” added Nehls. “We need something that pushes us to a purpose. And when you have a purpose in life, then you’d give food essentially, memorize memories to these new index neurons in this survival.”
He also pointed out how social activity is important. Even simple stimulants like looking at a dog’s eyes can help raise oxytocin levels in the brain. Oxytocin is the most potent activator of neurogenesis that we know of, meaning “if you shut down social interaction, you reduce the oxytocin serotonin level and the hippocampus will shrink.”

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
