It apparently stated when Haidut did some podcasts with Dr. Mercola. Mercola said he didn’t recommend the current version of Progest-E, and listed some problems he noticed. It was clear this was only Mercola’s opinion, not Georgi’s. Georgi didn’t clarify anything about Progest-E, based on the podcast transcript. Apparently, that was the public trigger. You can find the thread with transcript from the old RPF on the renamed Low Toxin Forum. Or, you could listen to the podcast. Georgi did announce a few months later that there was peace between him and Roddy, but there haven’t been any podcasts with both of them on since. After seeing the transcript, I didn’t think it was much of a big deal. Dr. Mercola apparently joined RPF, and clarified some things, but seemed to be attacked by some forum members. He only made two posts.
I really didn’t see much basis for a feud based on the transcript. I did think the RPF members treated Dr. Mercola very poorly, although it wasn’t clear it was the real Mercola until after he made his first posts. That was part of the reason I started to get away from that forum. An overall sense of negativity that had been growing for a while, and that was something I didn’t want to contribute to. Funny thing, just a few weeks after all that, all the bans started happening, and it basically turned into the Anti Vitamin A/Grant/Garrett Smith forum. I still see that same negativity popping up on the LTF, while a lot of that same negativity migrated to the Bioenergetic Forum.
Whatever you think of Dr. Mercola and the Mercola brand, it does have a much larger audience than the forum ever did. I think that’s what Haidut really wants to do, expose the main ideas of the Bioenergetic model and Ray Peat’s ideas to a much larger audience, rather than keeping it a niche thing. Mercola seems to offer a good forum for that expansion.
