It was good to see your rebuttle to Mary Enig's article about Peat's discussion of EFA's. I have been finding Ray Peat's articles very interesting and helpful. I have had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, along with malabsorption, for over 20 years. Along with other things that I have found since last November that have been helping tremendously, I have found Peat's information about anaerobic and aerobic metabolism explains the reason for the chronic muscular pain and fatigue. The process of switching my metabolism from anaerobic to aerobic has been not only helpful to my health, but also enlightening. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on his information about lactic acid vs. CO2 with respect to their production and effect on the entire body. Thanks, Cody |

| I think there he is talking about what happens when things go terribly wrong in a particular tissue or organ, though some of the CO2 stuff is theoretical, from what I remember. Also, it's one thing to describe what is going on, but another to know what to do about it. There are so many things that can go wrong and result in "disease" or a disorder that I would just suggest one keep an open mind. In my case, it may have been a low salt diet, but whatever it was, I was not producing enough stomach acid, and because of that, went into what is known as protein energy malnutrition (because it could not be digested or absorbed). Peat was right about eating more good-quality protein, but if I hadn't figured out that my stomach acid production was next to zero, I would probably be dead now (my guess is at least by a year). So you need to be careful about just getting focused on one thing, even if it is correct. Because I had so many problems, due to the underlying issue, and basically acted as my own doctor in solving each one (along with some help from Peat and others), I think I have quite a bit of experience at this point, so if you want to tell me about your "story," including what your life was like before you became ill (diet, drug use, amount of sleep, amount of stress, exercise, etc.), I'll offer whatever advice I can think of in the context of my experiences and research. |
