I have seen Peat mention in various interviews that particular supplements are safe / recommends their use, such as niacinamide, taurine, b6, etc. In other interviews he has mentioned that the only safe supplements are "aspirin, cascara, progesterone, cyproheptadine, penicillin, and some kinds of thyroid - vitamin a and dhea on the skin", which seems contradictory, and he himself has said that he takes the fat soluble vitamins on his skin (vitamin D and E). Even with relatively "pure" ingredients, Peat seems to think that contaminants from the manufacturing process pose a risk. Which supplements are truly safe, and why would aspirin for example be safer than niacinamide?
A lot of fruit he has recommended like grapes and cherries are perhaps the most pesticide-ridden fruits out there, but I am not sure if it goes without saying to be buying organic produce. Certainly where I am from most food is not available "organic", and the term "organic" has also become very misconstruing. What about the contaminants in food, don't they pose as much as a risk as the ones in supplements, I assume food and supplements are processed in similar factories. Is it just that this fact is unavoidable due to food supply, so not mentioned? I am generally just very confused on his seemingly unflinching opposition to supplement use, they seem to be useful tools for getting oneself out of a stress pattern (when diet and lifestyle alone don't suffice).
