Ray Peat notes that urea was recognized as the most effective treatment for brain edema in the 1950s, but its use declined due to flawed assumptions about osmotic activity and hemolysis, despite urea’s anti-edema and anti-inflammatory properties.”

Ray Peat cites research showing that progesterone injections reduce or prevent brain edema after injury. It supports the structural integrity of brain cells and counteracts the edematous effects of estrogen and serotonin.”

According to Peat, CO₂ prevents edema by promoting the retention of bound water in cells, improving oxygen delivery, and reducing vascular permeability. Low CO₂ levels — caused by hyperventilation or high oxygen exposure — contribute to brain swelling.”

Peat argued that high metabolic rates, supported by sugar and thyroid function, protect brain tissue, whereas low energy (low sugar/hypothyroidism) leads to stress hormones (cortisol) that cause tissue damage and potential swelling.”

And: “Ray Peat viewed adequate consumption of simple sugars (like fruit, milk, and sucrose) as essential for maintaining brain hydration and preventing the stress-induced edema caused by low-energy states.”

Is his info on UFOs, reincarnation, and Prometheus to be taken serious? One thing for sure, he knows more about Iran/Persia than any other internet source, and his minority opinion must be taken seriously.

Get ready to have your mind Roto-Rootered if you’re not familiar with his books and interviews.
