Introducing My New Publication

Writers passionate about health and science topics are encouraged to contribute to the Health & Science publication. I will gladly review and promote high-quality stories that resonate with our audience.

Quick Updates on Writing and Publication Activities

Aiden recently posted his weekly boosted story collection, showcasing around 30 new boosted stories that are truly remarkable.

In addition, ILLUMINATION editors interviewed Dr. Yildiz regarding a new policy affecting writers of the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION, prohibiting monetization of AI-generated content. This interview offers valuable insights for all writers.

I have been particularly busy with publishing lately, as the volume of submissions increased significantly due to two editors taking a break. Therefore, this collection may be a bit shorter than usual. We also added many new writers today, and I’ll introduce them at the end of this collection, allowing you to explore their profiles and stories.

Recently, I wrote a critical piece addressing a public health concern: intermittent fasting and its alleged link to a 91% increased risk of heart disease.

AHA’s Public Blunder: Advocating for a Caring Response from Major Media Outlets

Here’s what Dr. Mehmet Yildiz wrote regarding this matter: Perfect Storm in a Teacup: Can Intermittent Fasting Increase Heart Disease Risk by 91%? Aiden also penned a compelling story discussing why fasting doesn’t lead to heart disease, but rather obesity does.

As a writer and reader, I stumbled upon a remarkable business opportunity that I found to be a scam. I wrote about it satirically, intending to provide some humor.

Forget Researching & Writing, Just Start Scrolling, Clapping & Highlighting

Additionally, I highlighted a deeply touching story that inspired me, which I shared with my family and friends, and they loved it.

Breast Cancer: Why Every Woman (& Man) Should Read This Empowering Story

I’m glad that Dr. Yildiz also wrote about cancer, producing an enlightening piece on the benefits of exercise in preventing various types of cancer.

How Can Physical Exercise Lower the Risks of at Least 6 Types of Cancers?

I also featured another inspiring story that I believe might resonate with you.

Why and How to Support Women in Tech and in Other Male-Dominated Sectors

Dr. Yildiz recently addressed the negative impacts of hate speech on social platforms. As you may know, we prohibit harmful content in our publications.

ILLUMINATION Does NOT Publish Content with Defamation, Discrimination, and Hate Speech.

You can learn from his experiences and insights on this matter.

I wrote about the challenges of bulk suspensions, as Medium recently suspended numerous accounts. We created a brief piece about it, should you wish to learn more.

The Pain of Losing Substantial Subscribers in a Single Day

Dr. Yildiz shared his perspectives, viewing the suspension situation from multiple angles, which made me more empathetic toward both the victims and Medium. Having experienced a suspension a few weeks ago, I understand the emotional toll it can take. However, the platform must eliminate unproductive accounts.

My Informed Perspectives on Recent Account Suspensions on Medium

Aiden created an entertaining YouTube video for ILLUMINATION-Gaming readers and writers, providing them with some boosting guidelines.
