Ray Peat on breast cancer

Psychoactive substances and their effects on chronic diseases

“During LSD research, it was observed that people with chronic headaches, asthma, or psoriasis sometimes experienced a complete cure during treatment with frequent doses of LSD. Another ergot-derived alkaloid, bromocriptine, is currently used to suppress lactation (for example, when caused by a prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma, which can develop after taking oral contraceptives) and is being used experimentally to treat Parkinson’s disease. Both LSD and bromocriptine shift the ratio of two brain chemicals—DOPA and serotonin—in favor of DOPA dominance. One consequence of this is the inhibition of prolactin secretion. An excess of prolactin is implicated in breast cancer and other forms of cell proliferation, probably including the rapid cell division in psoriasis.”
