Dr. Pete:
Thank you for all the information and thoughts you have posted.
You have emphasized the cascading estrogenic effect of peroxidized multiply unsaturated fatty acids (at least if I understand correctly). Several writers, Dr. Brownstein, Dr. Abraham, and Dr. Fletchas claim that provision of sufficient iodine in the diet causes remission of fibroid conditions in the breast and the uterus but don't really say anything about a mechanism. They also claim that iodine prevents peroxidation (by conjugation) of unsaturated fatty acids. And. Indigenous peoples of the far north, at least those that adhere to a traditional diet, consume large amounts of long chain unsaturated fatty acids but don't die at a high rate from conditions that would suggest estrogenic poisoning (but I don't really know that is so). Because of that diet they also probably consume large amounts of iodine. Would you comment on this?
Another, probably unrelated, question; why is the dopaminergic black stuff black?
Thanks
