    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...

    Eating beans, seeds, and rock powders for better bowel movements (and overall health)

    On account of having an immensely positive experience with the forbidden fruits of the title, I'm excited to share all that comes to mind on the subject. This will be a stream-of-consciousness monologue. Insofar that the format is lazy, I apologize. _____________________________ Nuts, seeds...

    Aluminium at "tolerable" human intakes causes gut inflammation & colon damage, higher doses ulcerative colitis, lower doses gut pain

    Yesterday i noticed dark grey residue on a pan again after scouring with a metal pad & cleaning it with some kitchen tissue. This stuff is likely Aluminium , which is damaging in the gut >10mg, & brain...

    Finasteride causes gut inflammation, high serotonin, low dopamine; allopregnanolone may treat

    A great new study, which goes a long way towards explaining the dreaded post-finasteride syndrome (PFS). Currently, medicine does not recognize PFS as a formal disease and in fact attempts to gaslight the patients with PFS into believing they are simply mentally ill and in need of SSRI drugs...

    Colonoscopies worse than useless - no cancer death reduction, high risk of side effects

    Yet another medical procedure touted as one of the pillars in the long-lost "War on Cancer", has turned out to be a dud. I did a post on a study several years ago demonstrating that taking a daily aspirin likely outweighs the benefits of colonoscopies while also having a much more acceptable...

    Wheat bran- but not oat bran-enriched diets increase the mucosal height of the cecum and colon of newly weaned and aged rats

    "In spite of the reports mentioned above, it is not known whether the effect of a water-soluble fiber-enriched diet (the main source of SCFA) on the mucosa of the large bowel is more pronounced than that of an insoluble fiber-enriched diet. In the present study, we determined the effect of...

    Lowering/blocking serotonin is therapeutic for cancer

    One of the few studies that is brave enough to point the finger directly at serotonin as a tumor-promoter. Mainstream medicine has acknowledged that serotonin has a growth-promoting effects, but only in one specific tumor - carcinoid syndrome - and refuses to admit that the same growth-promoting...

    A gut repair equation - Amino acids > polyphenols > fiber

    Credit to Joel Greene. His brief Q&A on the Ben Greenfield podcast found here: Crohn's Disease & Carnivore, Raw Beans, Lectin Myths, & More. The basic explanation I gathered was: Protein (namely glutamine and glycine) and niacin are responsible for repairing the upper/small intestine. This...

    Constipation worsened by insoluble fiber - solutions?

    For me, Ray Peat's recommended foods with insoluble fiber like carrot salad and white button mushrooms cause a blockage near the sigmoid colon, preventing complete defecation, causing the area to balloon with gas. However, not eating enough of these foods eventually lead to headaches and bad...

    Ulcerative Colitis - Support During The Remission?

    Hello! I'm so excited to find this forum, and Georgi, thank you so much for all your amazing work. I would like to share a little story about my husband and ask your recommendation. My husband is an ex-marine, workaholic, studied at GAtech and worked 2 jobs and kept drinking coffee on empty...

    Serotonin (due To Bacteria) Is The Master Regulator Of Metabolism, Insulin Sensitivity, And Weig

    Over the last year I posted a number of studies demonstrating strong link between serotonin and chronic conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and even diabetes. Augmented capacity for peripheral serotonin release in human obesity...

    All Gut Bacteria Dangerous, Its Endotoxin Drives Liver Cancer; Antibiotics Cure

    As Peat has written many times, there is truly no such thing as “beneficial” gut bacteria as long as they are capable of producing endotoxin (LPS). And since most bacterial species known to colonize the gut can produce LPS when exposed to undigested food or mechanical stimulation (stretching or...

    Vitamin D Beneficial In Advanced GI Cancers

    The study shows that a daily dose of 4,000 IU – 8,000 IU vitamin D reduces cancer progression by up to 36%. The study had 2 phases, the first one used 4,000 IU vitamin D daily and the second one used 8,000 IU daily. Both phases reported robust benefit, and also noted something Peat has been...

    Sterilizing The Gut Restores Insulin Sensitivity By Reducing Fatty Acid Oxidation

    I am posting this study just as an example of how important the role of endotoxin is in insulin resistance and diabetes. Similarly to the human study with aspirin, sterilizing the gut with antibiotics did not reduce the weight in the obese subjects (in this case mice). So, obesity may be a less...

    Gut Bacteria May Cause ALL Autoimmune Conditions; Antibiotics Can Cure

    Ray has spoken/written at length about the importance of gut bacteria and the endotoxin they produce in virtually all chronic conditions. I posted a number of recent studies confirming the role of endotoxin (and iron) in a number of very serious conditions for which modern medicine claims there...

    Colon Aging / Cancer? Due To Low NAD / High Serotonin; Niacinamide Reverses Both

    Peat has said many times that the impaired bowel regularity that occurs in aging, hypothyroidism and various pathologies is due to high NO and serotonin. He also said that while serotonin inhibits motility in the colon it increases it in the small intestine. Most doctors do not agree with that...

    High-dose Vitamin C Or Niacinamide May Treat Advanced Colon Cancer

    I posted a few studies recently on vitamin C and niacinamide as potential cancer treatments. Linus Pauling May Have Been Vindicated - Vitamin C May Treat Cancer Inhibiting Lipolysis May Treat / Cure Cancer This new study corroborates these initial findings. Unfortunately, the study is worded in...

    Stress At Work Increases Risk For Certain Cancers

    I suspect work stress increases risk for all cancers but that would be too political of a study to conduct. For now, we can say that it at least increase risk for GI and bladder cancers. ScienceDirect "...Employment in at least one stressful job was associated with increased odds of cancers of...

    Regular Aspirin Intake Lowers Prostate And Colon Cancer Risks

    Another study among the countless that show aspirin can prevent cancer. Since this was presented during conference proceedings in Florence I can't find the study or info on doses. Maybe @Such_Saturation can help?? Five years of regular aspirin intake lowered prostate cancer risk by 60%+ and...
