Glucose loading cures everything?

A clue, by Georgi/Haidut

@S-Holmes no weight gain, in fact, a little lost recently, (5lbs) but I’ve added 800 calories… Ray always said carbs increase the metabolism!

Why do so many athletes develop ALS? Multiple injuries can apparently trigger unrestrained, sustained lipolysis. So Georgi and Dr. Peat would probably agree with glucose loading. This is very interesting and provides solid info about what happens to the body when it experiences stress (any kind).

@visalibero I’ve had cavities, (improved with vitamin k) and gum recession that hasn’t responded to antibiotics, (low dose longer term, tried doxy, penicillin, mino). Also my teeth tend to get soft no matter my calcium to phosphorus ratio.
The glucose makes them hard smooth and shiny. I don’t feel the need to brush right after because my oral heal feels improved directly by the glucose.
It’s crazy, but I’ve learned over the years to try things before I get too theoretically dogmatic. I was dogmatic about vegetables, chronic exercise, marijuana, and later veganism, and the lesson for me was: stop being dogmatic.

@evan-hinkle I second that! Being a perennial lab rat you can't also be dogmatic. I keep an open mind about most therapies unless they obviously contradict what I have previously discovered to be true in my own experiments. Glucose loading is very Peaty and Dr. Peat (and Georgi) are my anchors.
-
@Insomniac I do, I typically eat 2700-3000 calories, (it varies based on activity level). For instance I’m currently renovating a fixer-upper we bought last year. If I’m laying floors I may go to 4k calories. If I’m not doing any work that day I’m more in the 2700 range. The 800 new calories are in addition to my more typical 2700-3000.

@S-Holmes totally agree. My framework is always “bioenergetic.” Does it improve temps, pulse, am I able to consume more, how’s my sleep, what’s my reaction to stress, etc.
With glucose it’s easy for me to imagine that poor digestion could be a limiting factor in conversion of carbohydrates to glucose. Add to this that I’ve had a history of concussions, and began loosing my hair when I had my first concussion at 16.
Peat frequently mentioned the role of the brain in holistic health, and even mentioned that it was one of the reasons why he chose vitamin E as a carrier for his hormone preparations, (its affinity for the brain).

Interesting.
Same with me and sugar. Or more of everything, and less water, or hypotonic anything. Which led me to think it might be osmotic. Some promising indications for it in search.

This is the video of Garrett calling Dr. Stephens a crook. It starts at the attack.
Thank you for timestamping that.

@evan-hinkle Are/were you an athlete?
-
@S-Holmes yep, American football…
-
@evan-hinkle OMG. The most damaging team sport in the entire world. Do you still play?
-
What does the approach you used with glucose consist of in practice?
so by inserting regular physical activity into your life and switching to a more vegan approach you feel better are you telling me?
-
@S-Holmes no, I don’t, but I’m certain that I still live with the after effects of just a few years with it. I don’t personally think it’s coincidental that I lost my hair after my first diagnosed concussion at such a young age.
Lately I’m beginning to think that every time your helmet hits another helmet you probably get concussed. Just a pet theory of mine, but there’s a very unique feeling to a helmet on helmet impact vs say a helmet on shoulder pad impact.
-
Exactly. Every hit likely has a negative and lasting impact. I'm hoping the glucose will reset your brain and health! I have been in car accidents (whiplash), fell on ice and whacked my head on concrete, and had a very stressful childhood. Two of my three sisters took their own lives. I could sure use a brain reset!

What product are you using for the glucose?
