I saw your messages and the truth is that they made me feel that my message was not selective enough, but in my opinion these are the main messages that linked Ray's research to the story seriously.
In any case, I mainly referred to the preoccupation with asking the doctor's opinion and waiting for new "scientific" knowledge that he will publish, as if looking to replace a deep understanding of how the organism works, with a beautiful story that does not require much mental effort.
There is nothing new under the sun. As I wrote in the previous message, 100 years ago they already knew that the wasting disease could be treated with rice and he distilled it into glucose, but he invented unscientific theories that people are waiting to hear about, instead of understanding that the whole story here is a more accurate distillation of fuel that does not have to go through obstacles on the way and can work in a way Similar with white rice in most cases, like 100 years ago.
Today, apparently, glucose has a greater advantage than rice compared to the past, because there were no intestinal and other problems in the past like there are today.
And yet, this is only a small part of the complete puzzle of the metabolism.
Sure, everyone is this thread knows it's just a small part of the complete puzzle.
Anyone exploring or curious about exploring glucose are very welcome to hypothesize, share and ask questions; but if you are not and you're just here to lecture us on how to go about our explorations, and being selective about who you think are "seriously linking" glucose to RP, I'm for one not interested in your take.
Honestly comes across as weird to be so opinionated about it when you're not exploring glucose that you show up in this thread. I appreciate people sharing their explorations and hypothesis' even when they're different from mine, and when something doesn't resonate I just scroll past. I recommend you try it.
I absolutely agree with you here. I blocked some people early on because they just weren't being helpful (IMO). This is an experiment. The goal was to have people join in and report about their own experiences. If I could rename the thread I would. I'm afraid the title chosen may be triggering to some...maybe it should have been "Glucose Is Necessary for Healing" or something similar.

I totally agree with you about the tremendous potential of pure glucose. The only point I was aiming for is the part of the consultations with the doctor regarding the protocol. This is not suitable for bioenergetic research. Instead, it would have been more appropriate to look in depth at why it works differently than other methods, as some have done here.
And, to say that for 20 years you did everything according to Ray Peat and nothing worked the way this protocol works, is a bit of an understatement, when in practice you simply didn't study the science he revealed to us in enough depth.
Anyway, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to say that quite a bit of this thread does not advance us towards the completion of bioenergetic research and even does the opposite a bit.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I really enjoyed this thread at first and also your posts. Then I started to feel that the thread has too much tendency to run away to simple answers from the doctor, who doesn't really have a deep understanding like the bioenergetic science suggests.

@sharko I don't think anyone is hurt, but we're at least a few people voicing that the vibe isn't helpful or okay. There's a difference between challenging someone's hypothesis, and judging what logic they're allowed to follow, and what is serious and not serious. I made my point to say you come across as judgemental; some contemplation about how you can communicate differently might be necessary if you want to come across in a different way.

This, to me, is very unnecessary and an example of some shit communication. It's a judgemental take, that lacks compassion and humility. It also lacks the acknowledgement that even if we study the science "in enough depth" that does not mean it will work for us.
Something that isn't talked about enough in the RP world is why so many women don't get better following these principles. I'm gonna guess you're a male? And if not, maybe you've been luckier than others, because as I've mentioned before I see so many women in RP world doing everything you can expect, and understand the RP approach very well, and still not get better. The last thing we need is people telling us stuff like your quote above.

I’m at 70g four times daily. Taking with potassium rich beverage. Gained a few pounds. Maybe just water weight. My temperatures are not any different. I am working to reduce headaches, and I think they are reduced, but they are not gone. Still hopeful.
-
@Ecstatic_Hamster Thank you for the report. I'm really trying to figure out why our temps have responded well while others' haven't. It's so odd that my husband and I have had the same rise in temp. Neither of us were on thyroid when this happened. (We take a tiny bit now.) Such a mystery.

@sharko Gotta agree with Gentle Potato. These comments are presumptuous and offensive:

I have all of Dr Peat's books, and many of his newsletters (and have read them all). He even says women who had migraines in their teens will likely go into irreversible decline at menopause. This would be me. He doesn't provide a solution for this, so I just keep looking. Dr. Peat would approve.

I'm afraid it's because I don't speak English and it comes out crooked. I got it and I didn't mean to

Good to know! Kudos for your efforts!

I was in such a low state, my body was crumbling from the inside. I would not have been able to get out of this without additional substances, beyond nutrition.
For example, have you used something that strongly inhibits serotonin and estrogen, like cypro?
Anyway, pure glucose is very interesting! But maybe it's not right to go all-in according to the protocol and instead, carefully integrate it as part of a complete treatment, while understanding the implications.
I believe that pushing a weak body more amounts of glucose than it is able to burn regularly, can come with many risks such as blood vessel leakage, kidney damage, excessive blood thinning and more.
Glucose is one of the most protective components in the body, beyond its use as the main fuel and maybe it is so magical that it can also help to repair the damage caused by its load in the blood, but maybe not...
Science gives us estimates about the amount of glucose that the body can use effectively when it is in an optimal state, but if a person has a very fatty liver and most of his cells burn fat, the numbers are much lower and to find them out, you have to use measurements of sugar in the blood or urine.

Could you move this discussion to another thread in the forum please? Thank you.

@sharko you’re only allowed to post dissenting opinions in the “Glucose loading cures nothing” thread — rookie mistake!
