Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching. Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they’ve proven it using identical twins and mice. This changes everything we know about MS:
Chicken and Veggie Bake
I put together a recipe that my wife rated 9 out of 10 so here it is if you want to give it a try.
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1.5 kilos chicken thigh fillets
500 grams chicken breast mince
8 small potatoes
1/3 large sweet potato
3 carrots
1 cup peas
1 cup beans
1 large onion
1 head garlic
3 cm fresh ginger
1 tablespoons coconut oil
250 grams nut butter (peanut, almond or cashew)
454 grams coconut milk
60 grams sweet chilli sauce
250 grams hummus
250 grams tasty cheese
Directions:
Put a large and medium frypan on two gas jets at medium heat
Into the large one put the chicken thighs and turn occasionally until cooked
Into the medium one put the coconut oil to heat
Dice the onion and add to the medium one, stirring frequently until browned
Peel and finely chop the head of garlic and the ginger and set aside in large mixing bowl
Put a litre of water into the kettle and bring to boil
Wash the potatoes and cut into half cm slices
Put the water into a 3 litre pot
Add the potatoes to the water in the pot
Peel the sweet potato and cut into half cm slices
Add the sweet potato slices to the pot
Cook until semi-soft
Some time around here pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees centigrade
Grate the cheese and set aside
Grate the carrots and add to the large mixing bowl
When the chicken thighs are cooked, drain and let cool
In the same large pan cook the chicken mince
In the large mixing bowl mix the carrot, onion, peas, beans, ginger and garlic
Into a blender put the hummus, coconut milk, sweet chilli sauce and nut butter
Cut half the chicken thighs into slices about 8 cm thick
Add them to a baking disk
Add half the chicken mince to the baking dish so the bottom is covered
To the baking dish add the next layer, half the carrot, pea, onion, etc. mix
The next layer is half the potato and sweet potato slices
On top of this drizzle half the coconut milk, sweet chilli and nut butter sauce
Finally sprinkle half the grated cheese on top of the potato layer
Now repeat the last five steps for the second half of the ingredients
Put in the oven for an hour
Take out, serve and relish the meal!
Backing Up
In 1998, a single command nearly erased years of work on Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 2’.
An employee working on the film accidentally ran a command that started rapidly deleting the movie’s files from the company servers.
Within seconds, about 90% of the animated film was gone. The team watched in horror as character models, environments, and entire scenes vanished.
The real panic set in when they discovered their routine data backups had also been failing for the past month. There was no recent official copy to restore from.
Just when it seemed like the entire multi-million dollar project was lost, a small bit of hope appeared from an unexpected place.
Galyn Susman, the film’s supervising technical director, had recently had a baby and was working from home part-time.
To do her work, she had a copy of the entire film on her personal computer at her house. The team wrapped her computer in blankets, drove it carefully back to the studio, and began the recovery.
Her backup, while not perfect, was enough to restore almost everything that had been lost, saving the movie from being completely restarted.

(Tom: This serves as cautionary tale for all digital creators. I once had the thought that I should create a regimen for people to learn and follow for backing up. Then I read this and found another had already done an excellent job AND made it interesting!)

CDC Admits There’s No Test for Long COVID—While Study Shows Vaccinated People Who Never Had COVID Are Developing the Same Symptoms
In a quietly devastating admission, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now states on its recently updated Long COVID guidance page:
“There is no laboratory test that can determine if your unexplained symptoms are due to Long COVID.”
By acknowledging that Long COVID has no diagnostic test, the CDC has effectively endorsed a medical diagnosis that cannot be confirmed or disproven.
It’s not anchored to any biomarker, lab result, or measurable condition.
And that means it can be used to label virtually any lingering symptom—fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, anxiety—as “Long COVID,” without ever verifying a prior infection.
But a new peer-reviewed study takes the crisis even further, revealing that vaccinated individuals who were never infected with COVID-19 are developing the same symptoms blamed on Long COVID, raising the alarming possibility that the vaccine, not the virus, may be the true cause.
A Diagnosis That Can’t Be Verified & a Pattern That Can’t Be Ignored
The CDC’s July 24 update warns that Long COVID symptoms can last “weeks, months, or even years,” and may include neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular, and digestive issues.
But the agency admits that diagnosis is based solely on self-reported symptoms.
No test exists to confirm whether those symptoms are from the virus.
Which means that Long COVID is an unfalsifiable diagnosis that you can’t prove whether or not you have it, and can’t prove whether or not you don’t.
And doctors can’t rule out that something else—like the vaccine—is to blame.
This creates a dangerous diagnostic vacuum, one that could easily be exploited to obscure mass harm.
Bombshell Study: Long COVID Symptoms in the Never-Infected
On June 23, 2025, the Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection published a peer-reviewed study that should have forced a public reckoning.
The study followed 467 healthcare workers from a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan.
All participants had received at least three COVID shots, and many had received four.
Vaccine types included mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna), viral vector (AstraZeneca), and protein subunit (Medigen).
Of the 467 participants, 222 had no record of COVID-19 infection, tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antibodies (confirming no prior exposure), and reported no symptoms consistent with COVID illness.
Yet many still developed what the CDC now calls “Long COVID” symptoms.
“Notably, all participants in this study were healthcare professionals who had received a minimum of three doses of COVID-19 vaccines… before the onset of the Omicron variant outbreak in Taiwan,” the authors wrote.
The “never infected” group experienced:
Mild fatigue: Over 30%
Trouble concentrating: Nearly 10%
Memory decline: 11.7%
Cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, and sleep disturbances: Widespread
Crucially, the study found no statistically significant differences in symptom severity across the three groups (symptomatic COVID, asymptomatic, and never infected).
In other words, those who never had COVID were just as likely to suffer “Long COVID” symptoms as those who did.
“Despite meticulous data collection, the study revealed no statistically significant differences in the severity of neurological and psychiatric long COVID symptoms across the COVID-19 status groups,” the authors admitted.
The Elephant in the Room: Vaccine Injury
All participants had one variable in common: the vaccine.
All 467 had been heavily vaccinated before symptoms began.
But instead of investigating the vaccine as a possible cause, the researchers completely ignored it.
There was no mention of vaccine injury, no analysis, no exploration, no ruling it out.
Yet the pattern indicated that people with no virus exposure are experiencing the exact symptoms blamed on the virus.
The common denominator is not infection, but injection.
Rebranding Injury as Infection
The implications are massive.
What the CDC and public health officials are labeling as “Long COVID” may actually be long post-vaccine syndrome in many cases.
By failing to test for—or even acknowledge—this possibility, officials may be rebranding vaccine injuries as viral aftereffects:
Diverting attention from the shots
Absorbing adverse events into a vague diagnostic category
Shielding pharmaceutical liability
And keeping the public focused on fear of the virus, rather than scrutiny of the intervention
With no test to confirm Long COVID, and a growing number of cases occurring in the never-infected, this condition becomes the perfect cover story.
The CDC’s admission that no test can diagnose Long COVID could be a warning sign that the government has built an entire category of chronic illness on unverifiable symptoms—and failed to investigate the one factor all patients have in common: the vaccine.
And if the public health establishment refuses to ask the hard questions, then we will.

Michael J Fox does Johnny B Goode
When I filmed the “Johnny B. Goode” scene, I was lucky enough to have a great teacher who taught me how to play the guitar. I told Bob (Zemeckis, the director), “When I do this scene, I’ll actually play the guitar so you can sync the visuals with the finger movements. Feel free to cut to the hands whenever you want.” Having said that, I immediately felt the pressure to make it incredibly good. So, I turned to Paul Hanson, my guitar teacher.
I worked on that piece for about a month, and in the meantime, I worked with a coach who was Madonna’s choreographer. I told him, “I dance like a duck. I can’t dance. But what I’d like to do is bring together all the traits, mannerisms, and quirks of my favorite guitarists — Pete Townshend’s windmill, Jimi Hendrix’s guitar behind the back, and Chuck Berry’s duck walk.” We worked on all of that and put it together. Those are the moments when you can’t think, “I’m tired” or “I feel the pressure to get it right.” You just do it and have fun!
