Glucose loading cures everything?

@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.

[S.Holmes]

@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.

[S.Holmes]

@evan-hinkle Oh well, I'm sure it's an amazing treehouse.

@Peatful Could you please explain how you incorporated high quantities of sucrose into your diet? Thanks

@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.)

Apologies...I meant glucose protocol, not sucrose.

Hey there, this is voice recognition.

I would love to help out
But context is so important around any health data in my opinion

So rather than me, spitting out a bunch of information
Do you wanna just tell me kind of where you’re at or what specifically are you looking to heal?

Dietary history here is paramount as well as just where your health lands today

Hey
All sugars turn into glucose in our body
Lactose, dextrose, sucrose etc

Yes?

[S.Holmes]

@Peatful The gist of the protocol is to skip all of the various conversions and provide glucose directly to the brain.

“Protocol”
Please note

There is nothing new under the sun

Although I haven’t read nor watched this guy
This is just “marketing”

The title of the thread is: Glucose loading cures everything?

All sugars turn into glucose
Nothing magical about dextrose as far as I understand Peat

[S.Holmes]

@S-Holmes I love that those little Smarties candies are made with 100% dextrose/glucose. 1 roll contains 6 or 7 grams of dextrose. Someone named them appropriately it seems. I bought some in bulk from Amazon. My little grandbabies are always getting bumps and bruises out here on our farm so Smarties (and Arnica montana) to the rescue!

This is great
Load up and enjoy
Unless they are loaded with citric acid

For reference
Just in case

@Peatful You'll need to go back and check out some of the links. There is definitely a difference.

Georgi posted a study, which I believe I shared the link to in this thread, about glucose being used therapeutically in ALS. Why do mostly athletes develop ALS? Traumatic brain injuries are the likely cause. But Dr. Stephens says even milder bumps on the head that aren't obviously concussive will cause irreversible (via normal healing mechanisms) glucose limiting effects on the brain. Pure dextrose seems to be healing these brain injuries.

@S-Holmes

This?

https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/high-sugar-diet-prolongs-survival-in-als-patients.3301/

A high SUGAR diet
And thar happens to be dextrose?

It’s about sugar
Not dextrose per say as far as I understand

Experiment
Have fun
Enjoy the journey

@Peatful

"A 2019 study from the University of Arizona found that increasing GLUCOSE DELIVERY to motor neurons affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may help patients live longer and function better. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes increased metabolic activity, known as hypermetabolism. When ALS-affected neurons are given more GLUCOSE, they can convert it into energy to meet their abnormally high energy demands. This may help improve mobility and increase survival rates.
Other research suggests that a higher GLUCOSE-based diet may also help slow ALS progression by preventing protein misfolding. Misfolded proteins can accumulate in the brains of ALS patients, which may contribute to disease progression."

@S-Holmes mm-hmm

@Peatful

I don't think sucrose turns into glucose. Half of sucrose is glucose. Half of it is fructose. Both are metabolized. There are other sugars out there like lactose. It is also metabolized. But there are some that aren't.

Ray has spoken highly n earlier articles of fructose. In the way that it is more easily absorbed and metabolized. So clearly, it does not turn into glucose as you would say it does.

[S.Holmes]

@yerrag
"Data from the present study show that ∼90% of dietary fructose is converted into glucose and other metabolites, such as lactate and glycerate, by the small intestine before it reaches the liver. Feb 23, 2018"

Yes

Im not talking about the processing

Fructose differs in structure etc from lactose obviously
Etc etc etc

Im saying
We drink fructose (once processed)
“Oh. Glucose to our brain.”
We drink lactose (once processed)
“Oh. Glucose to our brain”

But of course they have different properties
They are two different “foods”

Now
This differs from starch vs sugar
Although starchy carbs “turn to glucose”
Very different
