Glucose loading cures everything?

You're free to make Shroud and I definitely don't mean to imply you, I or anyone else hasn't. But to go through isn't necessarily to move out. We may be capable of accumulating a debt. That may be the issue with the aforementioned.
Still they can only block you on one internet. Or ignore you in one realm. Maybe better to think nothing than ill.

@gentlepotato I wonder how many of us who did high dose glucose therapy and had weight gain and other issues while on it have fungal overgrowth. As I mentioned before, I'm still using it but have added exogenous ketones for weight loss and have started antifungals (H202 drops, topical castor oil, undecylenic acid, proteolytic enzymes).

@S-Holmes May I ask how much were you eating while doing the high doses of glucose? Calories and macros?
I've been having more than 2500 the whole time, at only 12-15 tbsp. Right now I'm between 2500 and 2900, macros 20ish day and protein (120-130 grams of protein) and 60+ carbs. I'm loosing weight.
So my thinking is that higher amounts of glucose, especially in a ratio to lower amounts of nutrient dense foods, will deplete your stores of nutrients fast, and with lower calories you'll get less nutrition in. It's not the glucose that's the issue, it's the ratio.
What the glucose is likely doing is giving the immune system enough fuel to avoid an Itaconate shunt. That means a higher demand for energy. This is in part why I've been against the enormous doses of glucose, because that means you need much more overall food - and that seems to have been a bad match, because some where getting nausea and stomach upset from the massive amounts of glucose.
I'm glad you're still taking it, and I think consistency in smaller doses is better. Hope it gives the relief you're looking for!

@gentlepotato Tbh, I didn't track calories, macros, or micros. We know high blood sugar can feed fungal infections. It's a conundrum for sure because humans AND fungi need sugar for fuel. Carb and sugar restriction is not an option. Ketogenic diet is not an option since it raises stress hormones, and also Ray said if we don't provide fuel for "candida" it will break down our own tissues to get what it needs. I took antibiotics for years in my mid teens, and in my early twenties developed an autoimmune disease. Did overuse of antibiotics set me up for lifelong fungal overgrowth? I don't know.

Hmmmm.

@S-Holmes what's the source in the last post about glucose and candida? I don't know much about candida, but is it overgrowth in the digestive tract? I'd say the main way to avoid that is motility and avoiding deficiencies.
Did you have high blood sugar? I've tested daily for months and then twice weekly. Never had high blood sugar, and my long term blood glucose is also not elevated, so glucose does not equal high blood sugar.
The way I see it the glucose spread out is a tool for avoiding low blood sugar (amongst other things).
