Anyone else been seeing this crusade of Danny's against Mercola because of his criticisms of Progest-E lately? I feel it comes across as a bit emotional and illogical. I think that Mercola does make good arguments about why Progest-E is not ideal, because of the bottle. I understand Danny's concern about Peat's legacy and his wife who makes money off of the sales of Progest-E and how it's important to her.
But the reality is that Mercola's complaints about Progest-E are legitimate. Yes, of course, he has financial incentive because he's going to make his own progesterone product and probably put it in a superior glass bottle with a superior dropper so the dosage can be more easily measured.
At the end of the day though, one of Ray Peat's critical sayings was to Perceive, Think and Act. I think that's what Mercola has been doing. His criticisms are right and he's acting on them by putting out a better product. While Danny is railing against him from an obviously emotional standpoint about Ray Peat's legacy and his wife's income stream from the product that Ray created, rather than using logic. It comes across as overly defensive and irrational. I think we should be able to admit even when stuff that's huge in the Ray Peat community could have some flaws.
None of this denigrates Peat's discovery and patenting of this product. At the end of the day his solution and discovery lives on as a product that many will produce and help many people.
