I think it's pretty clear that those who were presenting a view other than the happy, shiny, relatively healthy male pure-Peat view on progesterone have gone from this thread. I don't blame them...I would have gone, too. So even calls for "+300" to show an email exchange between Hitoshi and Peat are most likely going to go unanswered.
And by "relatively healthy male pure-Peat view" I mean that the way Ray theorizes things should work don't usually seem to, except in relatively healthy people, particularly relatively healthy males. People with complex problems really, really REALLY have to work at it to make Peat's theories work for them...if they ever work. I say this as one who has been reading and trying Peat for almost 10 years, and who still believes in his ideas even if I am utterly disgusted by the needlessly hysterical negative turn this thread took when the discussion began (and which is the reason we'll probably never see Hitoshi's email exchange with Peat).
It's a shame because exploring the reasons that things don't work for a majority of people exactly the way Peat theorizes they should is a good thing. It may scare off some people, but it's going to help others find their way. Dogmatic Peat followers shouting people into silence who don't toe the pure Peat line is one of the reasons people tend to dismiss Ray and his ideas. It's not just that Peat goes against the mainstream...it's the behavior of some of his devotees. Seen it on several different forums, and I used to hold that view, so I know.
Everything I've ever read by Ray leads me to believe he's about tolerance and letting people find their own way. That's what I saw this thread as being about...showing a valid reason why things might not work ideally for some people. Instead it turned into an ugly shouting match that I think drove some good posters away. Shame, shame, shame.
Just sayin' to present an alternative view as to why we may never get an answer to the +1's, +2's, and +3's who are calling to see the email exchange between Hitoshi and Peat. As veteran of many internet forums, I'm sure many will see Hitoshi's lack of response as proof that it doesn't exist. But my suspicion is that Hitoshi probably decided life's too short to engage here any longer.
This will probably get moderated but I'm posting anyway because IMO some people need to consider this. If they don't, it will just keep happening.
Peace out.
He was never going to post it, at least that's the impression I got.
