  @alfredoolivas said: Blocking calcium channels is anti estrogenic. Potentiates tamoxifen too https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1676580/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0006295294905509 Peat tied estrogen to calcium directly. From his 2020 flu newsletter: "A major function of progesterone is the inactivation of the estrogen receptor; estrogen and its “receptor” are powerful activators of cellular calcium uptake". If part of what estrogen does runs through calcium getting into the cell, a channel blocker cutting into it makes sense. The verapamil paper tied its effect to lower P-glycoprotein though, the pump that pushes drugs back out of cells. Could just be tamoxifen staying in the tumor cells longer. Does the second one look at estrogen signaling itself?

  There's something fishy about Hans. He claims he's been doing all these self-experiments where he takes a mega dose of something for 2 weeks and does before and after blood tests, and frequently other tests like stool tests. If it were all true, he'd be practically living at a clinic! He says doctors are useless and that he pays for all his own private tests. But then makes a post about having a chat with his doctor, and discussing various results with him. He never posts his labs, as others have pointed out. He could just be making it all up, for all we know. What he does do, constantly, is try to make money off his claims. So I'm a bit dubious.

  @sunsunsun I am starting to think this discussion is becoming futile. You did not deal with any of my arguments, which there were many. Your only counter-arguments are “cope”, “weird” and “one shotted”. No constructive criticism was offered. I never said “ studies arent to be relied upon”. I am not sure where you got that idea. I merely pointed to the flaws which the studies you mentioned have, not once did I say that you should not rely on studies. Or do you think that studies are faultless? That scientists do not make mistakes or act in bad faith? Luckily, many of the shortcomings can be uncovered simply by reading carefully (as I did with the pro-oatmelas studies). Again, you did not offer any rebuttal, you merely dismissed it as As for your milk argument: Yes? How can you not see that that is a completely different situation? Milk is one of the most nutrient-heavy and beneficial foods which this planet has to offer. Adaptation to lactose does not cause any long-term negative effects, it does not inhibit your thyroid nor does it slow your metabolism/decreases your overall ATP. Once you start producing enough lactase, the problem disappears. With oatmeals it is quite different, the endotsoxin IS problematic and remains problematic even after it sits in your intestine for five years, the “adaptation” is pathological. Your overall T3 and protective hormones decrease while the negatives accumulate. How is the phytic acid cope? You did not disprove anything I said. If you are so adamant that I am wrong, explain yourself. Please provide your examples of Peat being wrong with citing studies incorrectly. If you are so certain and mentioned this repeatedly, you can surely offer them right? Also what peatosphere are you talking about? There is no RPF anymore, no podcast or any other prominent community. The only semiactive thing is this, which many times go against Peat’s core work with stuff like glp-1, pufa reintegration, severe hormesis or fiber advocacy.
