Glucose loading cures everything?

@S-Holmes I wonder if these symptoms are related to decalcification of past injuries due to elevated body temps. Ray or Georgi talked about that happening to people when their temps elevate on thyroid.
-
@LetTheRedeemed Would it be possible to provide a link?
-
@S-Holmes I'll see what I can find

Thanks! It's interesting that my temps have been good for a few years now without taking thyroid. (I took Cynomel for about 3 years but temps didn't respond.) I've been taking 10 mg of famotidine for about 4 years so maybe that's helping with displaced calcium? The glucose is definitely helping with mood swings and attitude. I don't bottom out when something mildly upsetting happens. As for the physical stuff, still working through it, but the direction seems promising.

@S-Holmes nice. I'm having trouble finding it. it was an offhanded comment I saw in a transcript

No worries. Just if you come across it again the context may be helpful.

@S-Holmes for sure

Quick update. I'm still on 6 TBSPs of glucose 3 to 4 times a day. I've been taking my temperature again lately and am amazed. My afternoon temps are running 99° to 99.3°. I used to take thyroid (T3), maybe 10 years ago, and my temps were still in the dumpster. The thyroid didn't do much for me. So I've had an aha moment. In order for thyroid to work it must have enough glucose. (RP101), so the glucose therapy is restoring thyroid function. I have never restricted sugar, never done the keto diet, but apparently my high stress levels and PUFA's were enough to wreck my metabolism. Glucose to the rescue!

Another quick observation. In my part of the world, ragweed is giving everyone grief right now, and yesterday my eyes were really burning. I remembered Dr Stephens said to take glucose until symptoms subside, so I took an extra dose. Within minutes my eyes stopped burning. I continue to be amazed.

@S-Holmes Pretty Peaty solution. I've done that with caffeine too, the last several years
-
@LetTheRedeemed Yes! Glucose AND Caffeine for the win!!
-
FYI, I played with caffeine pills for a while and can confirm the experiences of others, that coffee has a more pronounced caffeine effect than pure caffeine alone.

I agree. I tried caffeine pills instead of coffee for a few days. They didn't have the same effect.

@S-Holmes I wish they worked lol

@S-Holmes Those Smarties contain citric acid, which is made from GMO black mold (Aspergillus niger). I have to think that there is still some mold left in that citric acid.

Do you know if all citric acid is made from black mold?
-
@S-Holmes it may be possible to make citric acid from other molds, funguses, or bacteria, but I've only heard of using black mold.

Mercola seems to start dipping his toes into glucose, as per his latest article:
"So how can you begin implementing this approach? If you have severely compromised gut health, start with pure sugar water. This is a temporary measure to jumpstart the healing process. Mix one-half pound, up to a full pound, of pure dextrose (glucose) into a half gallon of water and sip it slowly all day. Don't drink more than an ounce at a time to avoid spiking your insulin.
Once your gut health has improved, you can switch your primary carb source to whole foods. More than likely, you'll also need to eat more frequently than you're used to during this transition to avoid hypoglycemia. Eating every three to four hours, with snacks throughout the day, is crucial when relying on simple carbs for energy.
As your mitochondrial energy production continues to improve and your gut starts to heal, you will begin the transition back to complex carbs. This is a slow and steady process — don't rush it."
