Is Brain Rot Real? Researchers Warn of Emerging Risks Tied to Short-Form Video

Heavy short-form video use trains your brain to favor speed and novelty, which weakens sustained focus and makes everyday tasks feel harder to finish.

Attention loss linked to scrolling reflects learned brain adaptation, not a lack of intelligence, motivation, or discipline.

Endless feeds strain self-control systems, raising stress and mental fatigue while leaving confidence and self-image largely unchanged.

Younger users and frequent daily scrollers show the strongest effects, but attention strain appears across all ages and platforms.

Grain-Free Schizophrenia Cure

Zero. That is the number of researchers who have published peer-reviewed studies on diet and schizophrenia who were contacted by the journalists who called the science “unfounded.”

Large Study Shows Flu Shot Increases The Risk Of Influenza By 27% – Yet 46% of Americans Still Go And Get Their Flu Shot A Year Later

As of January 31, 2026, approximately 46.0% of adults and 46.4% of children aged 6 months to 17 years reported having received a flu vaccination during the 2025-2026 season, showing a slight increase compared to the previous season.

A large Cleveland Clinic Study the year prior showed that the Flu Shot INCREASED THE RISK OF GETTING THE FLU BY 27%.

Amaranth

Amaranth Plants

A couple of years ago I discarded some amaranth seeds into my compost bins. Some time later I distributed that compost through my garde soil. I now have a crop of Amaranth that I am looking forward to harvesting!

HUNDREDS of studies now indicate COVID-19 “vaccines” are one of the LARGEST carcinogenic exposures in modern history.

They:

1. Increase your risk of 7 major cancers

2. Disrupt THOUSANDS of critical genes

3. Integrate into human genomes

4. Drive genome instability

5. Enable tumor immune escape

6. Suppress DNA repair mechanisms

7. Drive chronic inflammation

8. Cause immune dysregulation (?T-cells, type I IFN)

9. Disrupt microRNA networks controlling growth/apoptosis

10. Activate oncogenic signaling (MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR)

11. Remodel the tumor microenvironment

12. Reactivate dormant cancers

13. Block innate immune sensing (TLR inhibition)

14. Produce aberrant proteins (frameshift errors)

15. Induce immune exhaustion

16. Promote IgG4 class switching

17. Contain plasmid DNA including SV40

18. Disrupt RAS signaling – oxidative stress + proliferation

19. Damage the microbiome(loss of immune balance)

20. Increase treatment resistance
