Jordan Peterson taking time off to fight new health setback, according to his daughter
Canadian psychologist, best-selling author and media commentator Jordan Peterson is taking time off for medical reasons, according to his daughter. 'JBP is taking some time off of everything,' wrote podcast host and CEO of Peterson Academy , Mikhaila Peterson, on her X account earlier this week. Hey guys, @jordanbpeterson is taking some time off of everything. He was diagnosed with CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) due to a genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold/bacteria in indoor air (the… She says her father, a sometimes columnist for National Post, has been diagnosed with a condition known as chronic inflammatory response syndrome, or CIRS, and that it results in an immune deficiency that inhibits identifying and detoxifying indoor mold and bacteria.

'Recently he was exposed to a particularly moldy environment while helping clean out my grandfather's house after he passed away which severely flared symptoms. … He's really been suffering from this badly since 2017 we just didn't know what it was called,' she wrote. This is the latest health setback for Peterson, 62, who fought to beat a benzodiazepine addiction in 2019. After Peterson's addiction struggles were revealed, he announced he had developed akathisia — a condition which can cause restlessness, mental distress and an inability to sit still. However, his daughter said that isn't an aspect of the present setback. She wrote on X: 'To be crystal clear — this isn't about akathisia or medication. He's not on any medication. It's an immune system dysfunction.' Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre has wished Peterson well. In a post to X on Saturday, he wrote: 'Praying for a swift recovery,' adding, 'The world needs his prodigious mind and solid principles now more than ever.' Praying for a swift recovery for my friend Dr. @jordanbpeterson . The world needs his prodigious mind and solid principles now more than ever. As a result of this setback, Peterson said her father is pausing the Daily Wire podcast that she co-hosts with him. He is also cancelling a speaking engagement in Brazil. In lieu of these engagements, she pointed followers to YouTube, specifically her father's episodes of a new call-in Q and A show, 'Answer the Call,' which the two of them recorded before he got ill. 'He was very excited to put this out, helping people is what he enjoys the most. That's why he does what he does.' Meanwhile, she asserted that CIRS is not generally recognized by the medical profession. 'The fact that this is the cause behind our food sensitivities and inability to tolerate anything other than meat (for 8 years now), multiple disorders and diseases in my family, and is virtually unrecognized by the medical community, is absurd,' she wrote. 'Just like the medical system didn't recognize ketogenic diets as a treatment for mental disorders 10 years ago (and still most doctors don't). 'Just like (Dr. Peterson's) psych med withdrawal wasn't recognized 5 years ago (and still more doctors don't recognize it).' She concluded her X message with: 'Thank you for the understanding. Prayers are appreciated.' In late 2024, Alberta-born Peterson announced he and his wife were leaving Canada for the U.S. Peterson began his academic career at Harvard University before returning to Canada to take a position at the University of Toronto in 1998. The sale of the Peterson's home in Toronto was a subject of recent media interest. Our website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.

Digging for the truth
For eight hours after home-care nurse Heather O'Brien was shot in the head by Nova Scotia mass murderer Gabriel Wortman, her Fitbit continued to send a signal to her home computer showing heart activity. The RCMP officer at the scene felt her pulse, then covered her with a sheet and treated her as dead. Senior Mounties had ruled out sending an ambulance, fearing the paramedics would become targets. O'Brien's family knew she would not have lived, even if she had received treatment. But they wanted the screenshot of her heart activity included in the evidence of the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC), established by the province ostensibly to find the truth and give a voice to the families of the 22 victims of the 2020 shootings. Andrew Vaughan / The Canadian Press files In this April 2020 photo, the medical examiner's office team remove Gabriel Wortman's body from a gas bar in Enfield, N.S. after he was shot dead by police. The commission refused to include the evidence, so the family released the screenshot and their statements on Facebook to let the public know the commission was not providing the full story. Author Paul Palango calls the O'Brien family's experience a perfect example of how the MCC 'favoured the RCMP's official narrative despite contradictory evidence.' The veteran Canadian journalist disassembles that narrative on every page of this exposé, from its confrontational title to its final words: 'The story as told by the RCMP, the Mass Casualty Commission and politicians is full of holes.' Palango won awards for investigative journalism during his tenure as national editor at the Globe and Mail. He is the author of four books about the RCMP, including 22 Murders, also about Wortman's killings, from which he quotes frequently and extensively. If the Mounties had simply admitted they had been caught off-guard, short-handed and ill-prepared by Wortman's murderous rampage on April 18 and 19, 2020, most Canadians would have forgiven them. Instead, Palango documents how institutional rot in the RCMP caused the Mounties to make crucial errors in responding to the gunman, who was wearing an RCMP uniform and driving what looked like an RCMP car. Then, instead of coming clean, Palango says Mounties destroyed and suppressed evidence and lied about what really happened to cover up their own incompetence. They were aided and abetted by the MCC, the author says, which adopted procedural rules that made it almost impossible to get to the truth. Was Gabriel Wortman, a Dartmouth denturist by day, a paid police informant? RCMP handout / Canadian Press files Gabriel Wortman After digging through old search warrants and interviewing those closest to Wortman, Palango speculates that Wortman smuggled drugs and weapons across the U.S. border and sold them to the Hells Angels, along with pill presses for the drugs, something denturists have. These ones were bugged, giving the RCMP a direct line on gang activities. After one too many police raids followed the same pattern, the Hells Angels were likely thinking Wortman was a 'rat' and planning to kill him, Palango speculates. That would explain Wortman's sudden urge to get out of town. He was selling his real estate and dissolving his business. Wortman collected $475,000 in cash from Brink's a mere 18 days before he started killing people. Was the money Wortman received a payout from the police? No, the commission replied, there was 'no evidence' he was a paid informant. But the same document concedes that even if he had been, no one would admit it, even after his death. Palango believes key facts about other aspects of the official narrative were altered or suppressed, including how Wortman was killed, his girlfriend Lisa Banfield's alibi and how two Mounties shot at and almost killed another Mountie, thinking he was Wortman. Accepting the book's premises requires the reader to take Palango's side against all of officialdom. But his over-sized ego keeps getting in the way. Anatomy of a Cover-Up He repeatedly interrupts the narrative to crow about what an outstanding journalist he is, and more importantly, how dull and slow-witted all the other journalists are. When he finally makes a mistake — and it's a doozy — he owns up to it and apologizes to his print and podcast audiences. But in the next breath, he absolves himself: 'Another positive was that our wrong assumption didn't get anyone killed.' Cringe. For readers who can get over tone-deaf passages along those lines, Palango delivers a mother lode of facts and well-informed speculation about the biggest mass shooting in Canadian history. Palango concedes that he can't be absolutely sure he has all the right answers, but he has done a great service to the victims' families and all Canadians by tirelessly asking the right questions.
