    Most cancers overproduce cortisol, and it accelerates their growth

    This post is right on the heels of the one I just did on cortisol stimulating its own production and driving cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. The study below demonstrates that most tumor types known to medicine overexpress the rate-limiting enzyme for cortisol synthesis known as...

    Serotonin (5-HT) can cause gastro-intestinal (GI) polyps, precursors to GI cancers

    The bad news for the "happy hormone" keep streaming into the public consciousness, despite the gargantuan effort to censor such information and double-down on serotonin (just like estrogen) as the best thing our bodies can get. The study below discovered that the development of polyps anywhere...

    PUFA (linoleic acid) is hepatotoxic and carcinogenic; MUFA/SFA are not

    A neat little commentary in the Cell journal on a study in Nature. Not very surprising for most people following Peat's writings, but definitely an eye-opener for the general public (if they ever even become aware of this publication, considering no popular press outlet covered this article)...

    Mannose effects on colon cancer - novel mechanism

    https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/bitstream/10044/1/65247/2/Merged%20PDF.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0729-3 I think the mechanism is unlike normal cells (within reason) some cancers can't metabolise mannose effectively. So they get overwhelmed by the mannose increase, cant use...

    PUFA (linoleic acid) is a true estrogen, similar to estradiol

    This is one of those studies that, in my view, largely puts the debate about PUFA to rest. If PUFA, as the study found, is a direct xeno-estrogen at the receptor level, and can cause the same genomic effects as estradiol, then it is a moot point to argue about any "benefits" of that lipid. Why...

    Aversion to bitter taste may be a sign of endotoxin/LPS overload, chronic disease

    Just a few days ago I did a post about a study, which showed that endotoxin (LPS) makes body odor unpleasant and leads to both self-isolation and shunning from others. The study below adds more evidence to the LPS puzzle by showing that exposure to LPS strongly increased aversion to bitter...

    Inhibiting oxidative metabolism can cause inflammation, aggressive cancer

    Despite medicine's rabid defense of the "cancerous mutation" origin theory of cancer, it looks like evidence for the metabolic origins of cancer has always been around and hiding in "plain sight". The study below cites the apparently well-known causal link between accumulation of fumarate (a...

    The different impact between Vitamin E forms on cancer growth

    estrogen stimulated breast cancer (desirable effect from alpha, delta, gamma, or gamma mixed tocopherols) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5337152/ 0.2% of diet (>1g tocopherol human?) alpha slowed estrogen cancer, gamma and delta performed better. but mixed tocopherols high in...

    Vitamin D is a ‘Game Changer’ for Patients With GI Cancers

    The actual title of the article and I agree with that statement since the study demonstrated that taking just 2,000 IU vitamin D daily reduced relapse/death by 30%+ for a number of different GI cancers that have seen their rates skyrocket recently, especially in people under 40 years of age. The...

    Late stage brain cancer any advice?

    Hi all. A friend of mine has late stage brain cancer. He has been very reluctant up to this point to try any alternative therapies and is on a very large dose of morphine constantly for the pain. The last thing he has been on is some form of genome therapy but has been told that it won´t do...

    Stress/Injury (mitochondrial dysfunction) sufficient to cause de-differentiation, even cancer

    One of the most pernicious myths in medicine is the "irreversibility" of several cellular processes related to aging, diabetes, fibrosis and, of course, cancer. Perhaps the most fundamental of those processes is cellular differentiation. To this day, the dominant opinion in medicine is that once...

    Does living in high altitude affect pathogens, inside and outside the body?

    I read that statistically, high altitude living is correlated with a decreased risk of cancer by 14% for each 1000 meters. And also lower risk of heart disease. Initial risk for people that have heart disease already and move up to higher altitudes when they are not adapted, but statistically...

    Advice wanted for TRT (not seeking medical advice)

    An older person I know has non-functioning testosterone production, zero production from balls. I got him some testosterone, different esters, will recommend using shorter esters daily but bought longer esters if he will insist on not doing daily injections. Also got him exemestene. My question...

    Need pain management ideas for cancer

    My dad has stage 4 bladder-bone cancer. Tumors are popping up on his spine quickly, growing rapidly and causing pain. This is a new phase we just entered - pain that’s hard to control. Looking for any and all pain management ideas. So far, he’s taken oxycodone and cbd and neither are helping...

    Bioelectricity resource collection, Michael Levin specifically (videos, websites, statements, and other)

    A collection of videos of Michael Levin, his website, some of the statements he made or takeaways, off the top of my head. Bioelectricity according to Michael Levin and his research team: (he did say this was studied before him, he doesn't claim it as his own afaik) - Genes do not code what...

    Acetazolamide inhibits urinary bladder cancers

    "Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play an important role in maintaining pH homeostasis. We previously demonstrated that overexpression of CA2 was associated with invasion and progression of urothelial carcinoma (UC) in humans. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the CA...

    Cancer Pamphlet

    Has anyone here ever written any RayPeat papers to hand out or pamphlets to get these resources out? I am working on a pamphlet for handing out, leaving around and printing regularly about cancer with linking to many of Ray Peats articles, ideas and even this site for further investigation...

    Anti-Peat Growth hormone therapy does not increase the risk of cancer

    Growth hormone therapy does not increase, and even seems to lower the risk of cancer. This is evident from a meta-study published by Chinese endocrinologists at Zhejiang University College of Medicine in the Open Journal of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases. Study The researchers tracked 10...
