As many of my readers know, the WHI studies were highly detrimental to the profits of the estrogen industry. Every since the results of those studies came out, the estrogen industry has been trying to undermine the findings and re-introduce estrogen HRT for women with the claims that estrogen is...
I'm kind of pissed rn. The clown bart kay and his friend are calling out Ray Peat and calling him demented and saying his thought flow was slow. I think for his old age, Ray thinks incredibly clearly and puts together words eloquently enough to understand.

One of the dirty secrets of the medical establishment is the treatment of the elderly, it’s either morphine poisoning, polypharmacy or excessive use of sedatives and potent anti psychotics.
This is excessive sedation has caused excess deaths in dementia patients in Scottish care homes...
Another great result for the humble dye whose only claim medical fame so far has been as treatment for malaria, and even that "designation" has largely been deprecated due to the advent of new and "improved" drugs. About a decade ago, a company in the UK started researching MB as potential...
High-Salt Augments Aldosterone Toxicity Despite Lowered Plasma-Readings.
Blood-LVL-Aldosterone gets lowered by sodium,but apparently sensitivity rises,augmenting
damage.Sodium is truly almost a micronutrient,with intakes as low as 500mg-1500mg,in indigenous tribes,lower than
magnesium,lower...
The condition known as “chemobrain” is notorious among cancer survivors and many other patients undergoing toxic interventions with chemotherapy and may affect up to 85% of cancer patients. It amounts to severe cognitive dysfunction, memory problems, and even personality changes that result in...
As many forum users know, I have been interested in the Randle Cycle (glucose/fat competition for oxidation) for quite some time. The topic of limiting fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and promoting glucose oxidation is pretty central to the metabolic theory of health. Peat has written many times on...
Peat's most recent newsletter was on the topic of cholesterol and its increased esterification as a possible cause of the many pathologies that occur with aging.
Nov 2018: Dr. Peat Talks About Cholesterol Esters Causing Aging
One of the organs most vulnerable to cholesterol esterification is...
A great study showing that controlling for factors such as sex, marital status, lower educational level, lifestyle factors, existing chronic and acute disease, substance abuse, etc did NOT change dementia risk. The only thing that correlated (likely causatively) with risk of dementia (e.g...
It is funny how the knowledge about toxicity of a given chemical can be so widespread in certain areas of the world and completely censored in others. Not only that, but India seems to have banned fluoride for causing the same issues that Western medicine claims it prevents! Let's see if other...
I really like this study because it is one of the few that examine the direct effects of adding PUFA to the diet. As such, it serves to expose the fraudulent "science" that led to the replacement of healthier oils (like beef tallow, butter, olive oil) in the Western diet with the cheap...
The mainstream media is finally starting to seize onto the facts that the common population has been observed "anecdotally" for over 20 years. That is, the health of the average American has been steadily deteriorating, while life has become progressively harder (financially) for most working...
I posted a few studies on the now proven causal link between SSRI use and violent, psychotic behavior.
SSRI increase risk of violent crime
This new study found that the profoundly negative effect of SSRI on behavior is evident even in crabs, and even when they were exposed to very low...
Over the last 3 years I posted quite a few studies on Alzheimer disease (AD) and have discussed it at length in the Danny Roddy podcasts. Among the most successful interventions are niacinamide and methylene blue (MB) both of which are in human clinical trials, thyroid and aspirin.
Alzheimer...
Some of you may have seen this study in the news lately. However, it is being presented as the exact opposite as what my title says. The media titles all over the Internet proclaim that "John Hopkins study shows low serotonin causes dementia". However, if you look at the actual study you will...
There has been some evidence from rodent studies that estrogen and BDNF are antagonistic to each other as animals exposed to estrogen cannot remember very well. BDNF is akin to an anabolic steroid for the brain, and estrogen powerfully impairs its effects, especially in cases of traumatic brain...
I don't fully understand this one myself, it looks interesting though and have seen calcium channel blockers mentioned before on here. The study concludes that this should be considered when designing treatment for dementia and other memoryproblems.
Sex- and dose-dependent effects of post-trial...
I touched upon this topic in one of the Danny Roddy shows we did last year but the evidence since then has continues to accumulate that AD is entirely a metabolic disorders, basically identical to diabetes but focusing on the brain. A recent study found that delirium, an acute form of...
