Glucose loading cures everything?

I think exploration is important. Exactly what foods works for one person doesn't work for another. But my thinking, and what works for me right now, is that primarily my nutrients come from sources with lots of them. Honey has more nutrients than sucrose and glucose, but there's so many more nutrient dense foods, so if that's the aim honey isn't the best alternative in my opinion.

Unlike honey glucose doesn't need breaking down at all, and can be used right away. Likely this is the issue for many of us, as well as inability to store glycogen.

I'd you don't have metabolic issues and are looking for a more nutrient dense sugar honey is great, but as long as you eat nutrient dense foods alongside any sugar is good imo.

Do you have a link to him recommending saturated fat with sugary foods? I've seen him recommend fat with starch, but not with sugar.

Unfortunately, no.

I don't know if I updated the thread about it, but I mentioned trying this, think it was in the fall. Without fat definitely feels better for me, at the moment.

Totally, everyone’s liver is in a different place. Also, there is never announced how much fat is consumed. Maybe when I say I’m feeling good on fat+sugar, I’m using like half the fat you are, or maybe you’re half my size, etc.

For me it's all about exploring. RP's suggestions are not recommendations to follow like rules, they're helpful starting points for exploration.

Agreed!

Also aspirin with vit k to improve glucose oxidation

…so many of us haven't gotten better just follow his advice.

To be honest, and it sounds like argumentative defensiveness, but I believe after my own experiences as well as many others, that people autistically follow his advice, but don’t know how to incorporate it. Yes, there’s a difference. I used like 40mcg daily of t3 for 6 months, not advised by him, but in an effort to heal my own liver; Huge bolus’s of progesterone tipped the scales, as well. I realized that while I was saying I was eating healthy and peaty, I was actually getting like 3x the needed daily protein, and twice the needed daily fat. When I thought I was eating enough saturated fat to aid digestion, it should’ve been a little butter and beef fat, I should NOT have been so paranoid of any amounts of pufa’s in animal fats and egg yolks — cholesterol solves most low-fat digestion problems.
— Ray couldn’t help me with these problems, they were my own faulty perceptions, and I read a lot of his works at that.

Aspirin and vit K; sure, can be helpful interventions. But I think for me a huge part of the issue has been that my body has an imbalance in cortisol, and therefore isn't able to store much glucose.

This is another one of those things… aspirin is dose dependent, and many people could be healed from it but are using it wrong, and that’s an important factor. I’ve come to respect Danny’s claiming it’s a Swiss Army knife now, more than when I was first attempting to use it and would give up for a year of something... some of these things can take years to manifest.

A simple daily carrot did so much for me after I got my temps and pulse in order, but before that, it hindered.

Can aspirin and vit K help? Maybe, but it's like bandages on a bullet wound. Supplementing glucose seem to actually bypass the issue/root cause, allows the immune system and liver to work better, and I hope this will lead to recovery.

Agreed, these are all super conditional/symptom specific efforts, and there can be different answers depending…
Pounding oj/milk/progesterone/aspirin/carrot salad, without considering various factors, which means sometimes a certain order spanning years, is to “cargo cult” the problem.
