Multiple Sclerosis & Other Hormone-Related Brain Syndromes
by Ray Peat, PhD This article, from about 1994, gives more background, relating to the effects of estrogen; hypothyroidism typically increases adrenalin, estrogen, serotonin, and prolactin, and the estrogen difference probably accounts for why the incidence is two or three times higher in women than in men. Recent figures show that the ages from 45 […]

Estriol, DES, etc
by Ray Peat, PhD A review of the use of estrogens reported in J.A.M.A. (only up to 1987) found nearly 200 different “indications for its use. (Palmlund, 1996.) Using the conservative language of that journal, such use could be said to constitute wildly irresponsible “empirical” medical practice. More appropriate language could be used. Pollution of […]

Carbon Monoxide: Cancer Hormone?
by Ray Peat, PhD When I started graduate school in biology at the University of Oregon, cell “membrane” research was a thriving business, almost as lucrative as genetics. Years earlier, I had been intrigued by Linus Pauling’s suggestion that anesthetics might act by “structuring” the water in nerve cells, and in trying to understand the […]

A Physiological Approach to Ovarian Cancer
by Ray Peat, PhD Several years ago, George Crile, of the Cleveland Clinic, observed that his clinic had removed only 11 thyroids that year, and that they had done more than 5000 thyroidectomies annually in the 1920s. The reason for the change was that they found that there was rarely any reason to remove the […]

The Myth of Iodine Deficiency: An Interview with Dr. Ray Peat
Is iodine supplementation safe and, if not, is there a safe amount of supplemental iodine? Dr. Peat: “A dosage of 150 mcg (micrograms, not milligrams, e.g., ug not mg) is a safe amount of iodine. There are excellent references describing the effect of a moderate iodine excess (even below a milligram per day) on the […]
