Xeno/estrogens link to CFS/Fibromyalgia - Success!!

I have been repeatedly harmed by nutritious food. Take something as innocent as raw carrots, or a squeezed lemon, or avocado, blueberries...
Raw carrots and lemon have potent anti-estrogenic properties, as does quecetin (aromatase inhibitor). Plus the plant hormones (salicylates) can be pretty poisonous to susceptible individuals. Someone wrote a book about salicylates and named it "The helthier I eat, the sicker I get" - I haven't read it, but this describes me

Someone close to me got the following effect from B6: she is just overcoming a mild case of PCOS (so was androgen dominant, in any case she isn't estrogen dominant). One or two days before menstruation she took B6 and had a severe depression, so I think it matches the description.

So true, one's meat can be another's poison.

The more I read about estrogen/progesterone effect in women, the more I am convinced its such an individual thing based on our each unique constitution. In my PMS case, I suffer mostly estrogenic symptoms: volatile, rage, which is however relieved by extra estrogen supplement plus high dose of b-complex. I can't never explain it fully, except that according to traditional chinese medicine, those symptoms also matches poor liver nutrition/function, which makes sense to me: liver demands high b-complex during menstrual cycle to process sex hormones.

Perhaps progesterone intolerance is a symptom of low niacin?


Personally I do not benefit from dietary/supplement advice by Ray Peat, but think that nevertheless some things are worthwhile giving a look.

Thanks for sharing the article, very interesting!

I did take a glance of his website briefly. I have to say that, based on my brief glances, I am not surprised his advice did not work.
