I've been reading the forum for a month now and I notice that a lot of people are toying with pharmaceutical drugs in a sometimes irresponsible looking way.
I admit that I have some prejudice against artificial drugs use (even natural ones are far from being anodyne) because I have been more or less traumatized by medicine and influenced by naturopathy's way of thinking, but I'm still opened to change my way at looking at things, nevertheless I believe that this topic had to seriously be discussed.
I'm writing this even for hormone replacement like thyroid or progesterone, it seems a bit strange to indefinitely supplement something that your body naturally produces when RP explained how to reverse aging and to repair metabolism, with the potential to heal or seriously improve virtually almost any condition.
Moreover there has been strong side effects for almost every hormone supplementation I have researched (melatonine, cortisone for example or diverse bodybuilder's hormones), and in some cases it seems to even be able to shut down the receptors for the drug/hormone you take and to create tolerance so you may become addicted (I'm not well informed about these though, it seems the case for a lot of neurohormones though so I guess it can apply this to other hormones as well).
I thought that the goal of Peating was to repair the metabolism and structure by letting the body produce and use more energy that will repair everything (homeostasis), that genetic determinism did'nt matter as long as we repair the metabolism that will "repair" the genes?
I may be influenced by some Greek myths like Prometheus, Icarus (a man that wanted to fly to the sun and died in the process), I tend to really be a bit hostile against industrialization for the bad things it brought to the world (GMO is one of the main thing, pesticides ...) and suspicious about humans thinking they are gods, being conditioned and doing things without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
I understand that it might be helpful as a temporary help to settle things for some people who really need to move in the right direction, but I don't understand why people without apparent serious health issues are doing this? I've even read somewhere that Cyproheptadine has no side effects when you can read a lot of warnings on the web about it.
I don't want to sound presomptuous here (I'm really far from mastering the topic or understand all the implications), I'm a limited english speaker so I'm trying to explain my point of view and to ask my questions to have good answers to be able to widen my views and understand better what is happening here.
