This isn’t directed at anyone or as a criticism.
But there’s often talk on here of “blocking the synthesis” of certain stress hormones, or using exogenous hormones to correct balances. Peat himself talks of using isolated substances.
I know we’re all aware that whatever state we find ourselves in is the body’s adaptive response to stress, and there’s a great culture here of supporting the body with sufficient calories and vitamins, but does this mean that using things such as...
Cyproheptadine, bromocriptine, exogenous hormones, caffeine, isolated extracts etc.
Is sabotaging our natural stress response?
If my gut is full of crap and harmful foodstuffs, and serotonin increases, is using something like cyproheptadine really helping the cause?
Is this akin to numbing the immune system, so that we’re blissfully unaware of what is slowly killing us?
