    For Many Cancers Early Diagnosis Can Actually Be Deadly

    A great article in line with one of Ray's latest interviews on KMUD, in which he says that modern medicine needs to apply the prostate cancer approach of "leaving it alone" to many other cancers as well. Given the current state of medicine of not being able to successfully cure most cancers, I...

    Burning Fat Makes Bears (and Likely Humans) Diabetic

    This is perhaps the closest to an admission we will get from modern science that oxidation of fat is what creates insulin resistance and leads to diseases like type 2 diabetes. This is the first time I have actually seen an admission by mainstream science of the causal link between burning fat...

    Schizophrenia Also Linked To Gut Dysfunction

    The latest study to link yet another chronic condition to problems with the microbiome (gut bacteria). One thing that pointed researchers in this direction is the fact that the antibiotic minocycline (which Ray Peat frequently recommends for gut problems) greatly reduces symptoms of...

    Prostaglandin Could Cause Up To 40% Of Preterm Births

    Tensile strain increased COX-2 expression and PGE2 release leading to weakening of the human amniotic membrane

    Gut Bacteria Found To Be A Causal Factor In Obesity

    The part I find interesting is that the study claims that improved nutrient uptake caused by certain bacterial strains is actually causing obesity. Ray seems to imply the exact opposite - i.e. we want nutrient uptake to be as high as possible so that by the time the digested food reaches the...

    Aluminium And Its Likely Causative Role In Alzheimer Disease

    Ray has written about the dangers of heavy metal accumulation. Aluminium is in many medical products such as anti-acids, anti-perspirants, vaccines, antiseptics, etc. It is amazing in how many household products for both external and internal use contain this toxic metal and very few people are...

    Parkinson Disease May Start In The Gut

    Very much in line with Peat's teachings that fixing gut health is the key to improving virtually all metabolic conditions mediated through endotoxin, NO, food toxins, etc. http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article ... rengthened http://link.springer.com/article/10.100 ... 014-1343-6

    Raising Levels Of Nad+ Reverses Damage Of Diseases Like Ms

    The study author says that this should apply to virtually all auto-immune conditions (including allergies), not just MS. Raising levels of NAD+ in the body both reduced the severity of new disease onset, and also reversed the damage caused by already established disease...

    Cholesterol May Protect The Brain From Diseases Like ALS

    The study shows the importance of cholesterol and two of its metabolite for the survival of motor neurons. Motor neurons get damages in diseases like ALS. I think the study underscores the importance of cholesterol for health and hints that structurally similar metabolites like pregnenolone and...

    Cancer Grows More At Night Under The Influence Of Cortisol

    Very much in line with Peat's writings. If cortisol is so important for tumor growth and Cascara suppresses its syhthesis that would explain a good deal of its anti-cancer effects. Tumors Might Grow Faster at Night - News, Features and Discoveries from the Weizmann Institute of Science "...The...

    Low Calorie, Low Carb Intake Lowers T3 And Increases RT3

    Perfectly logical findings for those following Peat, but it is nonetheless nice to see even a mainstream "broscience" blog conclude that the only solution to curing the chronic low T3 syndrome is...to eat more and make sure a lot of the food is carbs. Also, it seems that people are also finally...

    Cancer Theorized Once Again As Metabolic Disease

    Ray has written about how cancer is a primordial cellular state of uninhibited division, driven by deficient oxygen and respiration. It looks like mainstream science is finally warming up to the idea to the point that this article even suggests cancer can be treated with oxygen. The treatment...

    Most People With "addiction" Simply Grow Out Of It

    Another piece in the puzzle suggesting that "addiction" is nothing more than adaptive behavior when the organism is under stress. Once the stressor is gone, most organisms stop the behavior. Of course, this is never publicized in the mainstream press, which trumpets the latest drug developments...

    Exercise (endurance) Is Bad For Your Oral Health

    Ray has written about how tooth and gum health is determined primarily by the levels of thyroid hormone and the overall health of the metabolism. It is well known that strenuous exercise (primarily endurance type, but also resistance type in some cases) both acutely and chronically lowers levels...

    There Is No Universal (linguistic) Grammar Encoded In Genes

    Ray has written on the falsehood of rationalistic ideas that the ability to learn a language is encoded in genes, based on universal grammar that only humans possess the capacity for. Chomsky's ideas have been discredited somewhat, but they are still considered a dominant force in the academic...

    Stress Triggers But Magnesium Prevents Neurological Diseases

    This should not really be a surprise for followers of Peat and Selye, but it is always nice to see modern medicine make the connection between something considered benign, like stress and the associated NMDA "receptor", and serious diseases. Interestingly, if stress works primarily through NMDA...
