Glucose loading cures everything?
-
@yerrag Right, I was referring to fuel being obtained from protein or fat. Simple sugars are absorbed in the stomach, not the intestines. That's what I meant by bypassing the digestive process.
-
@Insomniac but here’s the kicker, my blood glucose levels are lower. Where I was spiking to 150 after a meal I’m now spiking to 125. Every time I check my blood glucose it’s 20-30 points lower than my typical readings without dextrose.

@Peatful Could you expound on "rough"? I had a very strange burning pain from my neck to the bottom of my ribs yesterday (right side). I put an aspirin under my tongue and took a homeopathic remedy to treat stroke, just in case. It lasted about 15 minutes and then I was fine.
If not for Dr.Peat I wouldn't have given the sucrose protocol a second look. I think he saved my life, but I still have lingering issues, and weight gain which is difficult because I was very thin my entire life. So I'm willing to try anything to feel better. I've been on Nathan Hatch's protocol for a few months, and it was helpful but still didn't quite get me "there." (I still use some of the things he suggests.)
Yes
I had odd symptoms
Troubling ones
But transientI had significant weight gain
But
That was not about the sugar or the foods
The weight gain reflected the damage already done in my bodyIt was so much fluid
And
As said above
With any history of restriction or stress
You will start with your cells unable to get the sugar in
But it gets better
Your body has to relearnMaybe this will help give you an idea?
Im around today
Jyst need to run nowThx

@yerrag Well, the doctor admits that some of the protocol is based on theory...such as how quickly and preferentially the glucose appears to make it's way to the brain, within a couple of minutes! I believe that was the theory he said he would need spinal tap volunteers for. Who would sign up for that??? Theories, in my opinion, should be put to the test. He has been testing it out for a while now, with amazing successes. I'm just doing my part.

I'd ask for your urinary volumes throughout the day but I'm not going to push my luck. Or be that weird.
-
@Peatful Yes, very helpful, thank you.

@Insomniac the protocol is to increase dextrose until symptoms abate and then stay there for a period of a few months. I’m not against trying a one time dose of that nature, but I’m working on a giant treehouse today so I won’t be able to try til later in the evening.
-
@ThinPicking I haven’t tracked, but I’ll say this, I don’t urinate very frequently because I don’t drink a ton of fluids. Maybe three times a day, not particularly dark, nor clear. What’s the theory you’re thinking here?

The volume, specific gravity and/or TDS would tell you a lot. But at the same time, your sensation of your own wellbeing is paramount here. If you're feeling good, let that be.
I like these kinds of dollar metrics for the buck accessibility. Refractometer, TDS meters, stethoscopes, sensitive scales, bioimpedance meters, HRV, BP, this kind of thing. No million buck labs filled with nerdoids.

@evan-hinkle Can you share a photo here when it's finished?? Lol

...of the treehouse, I mean. Lol

@S-Holmes hahahahaha, it actually took me a minute to realize that’s what you meant…
I just tried, but I don’t know how to post a picture. I clicked on the icon for the picture, but all I got was some pre-fab html.
-
@evan-hinkle Not sure if this is the issue, but when I share a photo it appears as text until I select the "post" arrow.

@S-Holmes I would have expected it to allow me to select a picture from the folder on my computer. I don’t have a picture posted on the web, so unfortunately I don’t have a url.
-
@evan-hinkle Oh well, I'm sure it's an amazing treehouse.
