- 00:01:15 - What does "energy and structure are interdependent at every level" mean? Szent-Gyorgi was one of the first people to point that out. There is a thing called the "staircase effect": If you accelerate the stimulation of the heart, each beat gets bigger. The structure that governs the contraction builds up. If the heart doesn't get a lot of blood to fill it very quickly, it has a very weak beat and fails to make that staircase effect as it accelerates. That is typical of shock. In the healthy, normal state, progesterone is essential for being able to build up that structure that allows it to beat harder rather than just faster. Under the influence of estrogen, like shock, the heart can't build the structure.
- 00:04:15 - Is high estrogen causing panic attacks? It's a whole range of physiological things that are analogous to estrogen. Lactic acid is the characteristic thing in panic attacks. Carbon dioxide helps to relax and restore your structures. That's why breathing into a bag helps if you have a panic attack.
- 00:06:05 - Doesn't Dr. Peat put CO2 in a bathtub and “bathes” in there? A big plastic bag will do. But you can pluck the drains with tape and fill it up. You can test the level of CO2 by having a candle or striking a match. When the flame goes out, that's where to CO2 level is. It can rejuvenate you.
- 00:11:15 - It can hurt the lungs to breath high concentration oxygen. A few hospitals make a carbon dioxide oxygen mixture called carbogen. It's essential for delivering oxygen to the tissues to have a certain amount of CO2 present. Pure oxygen is just about the worst thing you can do. It first harms the lungs and then the brain. But 99% of the hospitals in the US still refuse to use carbogen. Up until 1955 it was practically used everywhere. Then an ignorant declaration of the British medical community spread around the world and hospitals swallowed it without any evidence.
- 00:15:30 - Brain injury causes brain swelling. And it was found that quite a lot of extra urea added to the system resolved the brain edema. Urea was used for heart failure because of the anti edema effect.
- 00:17:50 - Is that why some people advocate urine therapy? That's part of it. Part of the misconception of what urea is, is the concept of uremic poisoning, where your kidneys are failing. Because of the name they think that urea might be the cause of uremia. But it's intestinal toxins that accumulate in uremia and poison the kidneys. Urea is an anti-edema, anti-inflammatory substance.
- 00:19:15 - Why does urine therapy work? The kidneys are also putting out waste material, so a sick person shouldn't use their own urine.
- 00:23:35 - Why would breathing hydrogen help stroke patients? It's anti-inflammatory. Immediately, when there is some injury to the brain, edema is setting in and spreading the influence from the injured cells to healthy cells. It's important to catch it quickly after a stroke with things like CO2, aspirin, and progesterone.
- 00:29:30 - Is it good to drink carbonated water? Yes, if you drink it gradually so you don't burp it all out. It gets into your cells and acidifies a stressed cell. Under stress, the inside of a cell becomes relatively alkaline, while it should be slightly acidic. You can also do that with baking soda.
- 00:31:10 - Didn't the Italian doctor Simoncini treat cancer with baking soda? It actually works and he was helping a lot of people. The medical establishment watched him closely, and when one of his patients died of cancer, he was arrested and imprisoned. If you did that with every doctor treating cancer, you'd have hundreds of American doctors in prison. When a second patient died they took away his license.
- 00:32:45 - 00:40:25 - commercials
- 00:42:15 - Atom Bergstrom said that orange juice cures his edema. What is this about? Orange juice is one of the most available sources of the flavonoids. Coffee and purple grape juice are other good sources.
- 00:44:35 - Dr. Peat mentioned white button mushrooms. What is his opinion on other mushrooms like shiitake or oyster mushrooms? Oyster mushrooms are his favorite. If they taste good and are well cooked, they probably all have some benefits.
- 00:45:25 - How to increase the white blood cell count in the blood? General good nutrition and anti-inflammatory conditions tend to normalize either high or low white blood cells.
- 00:46:10 - Diagnosed with dysmenorrhea, vomiting, menstrual cramping, takes ibuprofen, gynecologists say she produces too much progesterone. Is this the true cause? Aspirin is in the long run safer than ibuprofen, even though anything anti-inflammatory helps. Hypothyroidism is the main cause of dysmenorrhea, leading to high estrogen and relatively low progesterone.
- 00:48:45 - Any bad effects from taking cascara sagrada? If it hasn't been properly aged it causes overstimulation, irritation, cramping, considerable pain. But if it's very well aged and darker than chocolate, it doesn't have that stimulating, cramping effect. It reduces inflammation and increases the flow of water though the intestine, to soften the stool or prevent overdehydration of the stool. The FDA took it off the market as a laxative several years ago. At that time the pharmaceutical industry was investigating it, discovering that its main active ingredient was very promising as a cancer treatment. But the FDA called it a possible carcinogen and wanted to promote another laxative. It turned out that that other laxative was causing death of the colon, and they had to take it off the market, too.
- 00:53:35 - What is the No. 1 cause behind constipation? Slow digestion. Hypothyroidism is the main cause of slow digestion. Adding a fiber to the diet, something that can't be turned into gas by bacteria, will stimulate peristalsis, eliminate estrogen and other toxic irritants, and it tends to increase thyroid function, because estrogen blocks thyroid function.
- 00:58:25 - Started taking Progest-E. Is it anabolic for females or should you be concerned about losing muscle because of its effects on testosterone. Is it true that if the dose is too low, it converts into estrogen? No, in humans it doesn't turn into estrogen. It antagonizes estrogens ability to increase cortisol and aldosterone. It's anti-catabolic. It's neither pro-catabolic nor pro-anabolic. Thyroid is anabolic.
- 01:00:40 - Does T3 increase histamine levels? No, it's protective against all kinds of inflammation.
- 01:01:25 - Can you get a real good anti-histamine over the counter? The FDA has pretty much taken care of all of the most useful natural drugs and took them off the market. Cyproheptadine in normal doses is pretty safe.
- 01:03:55 - What causes estrogen to be too high? Hypothyroidism and PUFA.
- 01:06:35 - What is the cure for urticaria and xeroderma? That's another thing involving concentrated mast cells. Low blood sugar will activate them. They secrete histamine and serotonin and cause edema. Antihistamines are the first treatment.
- 01:07:25 - Any suggestions for eliminating cataracts, that don't involve surgery? No, basically. Preventing them involves things like keeping PUFA intake low. But once they are formed disappearance is very slow. Very good living conditions can very slowly cause them to fade away.
- 01:08:20 - Is it helpful and reasonable to take a bath with 3% hydrogen peroxide and magnesium flakes for pain relief? It's very bad for the skin to have longer contact with that concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
- 01:08:45 - What are the pros and cons of using DMSO and also MMS? Both have potential problems. DMSO got famous when it was used for arthritis pain. It can activate the respiratory process and help to eliminate water from tissues. But too much of the sulfur compounds can very easily lead to disturbance of thyroid function.
- 01:09:30 - Takes the sulfur that Patrick is promoting, but is 7 months pregnant now. Can she keep taking it? Flowers of sulfur is very safe to take. It will help to suppress the candida and other fungus development. But it's probably best to minimize all kinds of treatment when you're pregnant.
- 01:11:05 - Constant mucus in one side of the throat. Milk makes it worse. Any ideas on how to clear this? Sometimes a swollen thyroid gland causes all kinds of swallowing problems.
- 01:11:50 - Can Dr. Peat talk about premenstrual dysmorphic disorder? The usual thing is dysphoric, but the dysmorphic thing is misperceiving the amount of fat in the belly, even when it isn't abnormal.
- 01:16:00 - Can you get too much progesterone and what would be the symptoms? Too much of it will put you to sleep, so it shouldn't be combined with opiates for example.
- 01:16:55 - Can you use Progest-E for insomnia? Yes, but Peat wouldn't recommend a big dose. It could make you so drunk that you could stumble on the way to the bathroom.
- 01:18:00 - What are the long-term effects of ivermectin? It's safe if you follow the traditional anti-worm doses, just a few milligrams on one or two days, periodically. But definitely not something to take every day.
- 01:18:30 - Liver is ineffective in converting T4 to T3. Should you still take a medication that contains T4? Other tissues have some ability to do the conversion if they aren't logged by estrogen and PUFA, too.
- 01:19:05 - Mild arrhythmia. What to do to get the heartbeat back to normal? Low progesterone, high estrogen is one of the problems. Low thyroid, leading to high adrenaline is a very common cause. The clotting system tends to become overactive with hypothyroidism. Doctors are very afraid to prescribe thyroid for various kinds of arrhythmia, because it can suddenly increase adrenaline, which increases the clotting system, which can lead to strokes. It's something you have to correct very gradually. Increase orange juice and milk intake to stabilize things first.
- 01:20:30 - Bags under eyes. What is the root cause of this? Stress and too much fat in the diet, blocking thyroid function. Can be corrected in a matter of days, if you start with a thyroid supplement.
- 01:21:25 - What can a 50-year old man do to keep his receding hair? Not enough calcium and vitamin D increase PTH. That is closely connected to underfunctioning of the follicle. It's also related to hypothyroidism.
