Hypoglycemia (which can result from any respiratory defect) can produce malfunction of any tissue, but brain dysfunction and immune dysfunction are very common effects. Adamkiewicz has shown that allergic reactions to a given substance will decrease from 100 percent to zero, when the blood glucose increases from, for example, 50 mg. to 150 mg. or [...]
By Raymond F. Peat, Ph. D. Editor’s Note: In her “Of Many Things” column this January, Betty Franklin introduced Dr. Raymond Peat’s work with natural progesterone, applied externally. Response from readers has been tremendous, so we invited Dr. Peat to write a follow-up, more comprehensive report on the subject. His doctorate, from the University of [...]
By Mary Shomon Raymond Peat, Ph.D. is editor and researcher of a popular and well-known monthly newsletter on nutrition and health, as well as author of a number of cutting-edge publications that look at aging, nutrition, and hormones from a biochemical perspective. Some of the key points Dr. Peat makes are: Estrogen blocks the release [...]
The low carbon dioxide production of hypothyroidism (e.g., Lee and Levine, 1999), and the respiratory alkalosis of estrogen excess, are often overlooked. An adequate supply of calcium, and sometimes supplementation of salt and baking soda, can increase the tissue content of CO2. -Ray Peat, PhD Can J Anaesth. 1999 Feb;46(2):185-9. Acute respiratory alkalosis associated with [...]

Vitamin E is an anti-estrogen so if estrogen is a causative factor in “autoimmune” diseases then we would expect estrogen antagonists to have benefit for this population. Vitamin E, vitamin A, progesterone, thyroid hormone oppose estrogen. Polyunsaturated fats destroy vitamin E and promote estrogen. Cutis. 1978 Mar;21(3):321-5. Is vitamin E involved in the autoimmune mechanism? [...]
