Glucose loading cures everything?

First time I took Dextrose (with salt as an intra workout), I had a migraine in the back of my head. Next day, I didn’t have negative effects, just slightly more energy perhaps.
Today, I felt quite sleepy after a dose. Bit got better in the afternoon.Are these typical symptoms?
Welcome! Everyone is different, but my sense supplementing glucose allows the body to heal, and it will heal wounds we knew about and some we didn't. It can take time. I find asking my body what is happening and how I can support helpful. The body knows so much.

So uh... did this cure anything?

Like any other therapy, it's conditional,.and will also have side effects for some, such as weight gain. We still use it, but not in the huge "therapeutic" amounts.
For many of my issues, esp acute long covid anxiety attacks, what helped the most was sugar, caffeine, and C02 (Coke). For long covid in general, high doses of vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and some B vitamins have been really helpful. Lately I've gone back on H202, food grade for internal use, and regular H202 in a humidifier that I leave on all day.
So to answer your question (which was similar to my question in the thread title), it doesn't cure everything, but using it, along with other therapies, can be beneficial for many.

I settled on using it to stave off low blood sugar events. Couldn't get past the painful bloat at higher doses.
H2o2 in a humidifier? Tell me more. Is it for sanitary purposes or is your aim to breathe low ppm h2o2?

I’m still using glucose, but not therapeutically. I think it’s incredible though as a tool against stress. I use two scoops in warm milk in the morning to refill glycogen stores after sleep. I use two scoops post workout in a drink for the same purpose, (also intra workout). Lastly if I feel as though my frustration is rising, I use it as needed, (less and less frequently because it has leveled up my resilience to stress).
In addition, I use it to sweeten the homemade jello/gummies I make for my kids. Nothing ends up blood sugar induced “tantrum” like these. After 6 years as a parent of two, I can safely say all tantrums are low blood sugar. Well fed children with good glycogen stores simply do not misbehave, (seriously, never).

This sounds very reasonable.

This is fascinating to me.
A few questions jump to my mind:
- Does it acutely resolve tantrum-like behavior? Do you just... give them a gummy when they start showing signs of a tantrum?
- Is there specific reasoning you prefer dextrose to table sugar for resolving low blood sugar issues?
- Do you have any concerns about "rewarding" tantrum-like behavior with a sugary treat? Or about making them dependent on it?
None of these questions are intended to be at all judgmental; as a parent of two littles myself, I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspective (as I think about whether I would potentially try something similar).

Hey! The title of this thread is about glucose curing everything, not hydrogen peroxide! Haha. Thanks for sharing this tidbit. I haven't previously encountered the claims of miracle-like results from H2O2. I'm probably primed to buy into it though, I always think of it as "magic" when you can just pour it over anything and if it is "bad" it will fizz (e.g. putting it on a cut).
Have you shared any specific anecdotes/testimonies about hydrogen peroxide benefits anywhere?

@jjk_learning no worries I didn’t take it as judgmental at all, (and as I’m sure you know, when the rubber meets the road all successful strategies are needed!).
I’ve become pretty good at sensing my children’s’ energetic needs, (it’s amazing since I changed my perspective on this 90+% of the parents I interact with starve their children STARVE them, and then force them into exhaustive exercise based activities, and wonder why little Johnny is such a naughty boy). I tend to front load activities now more than I react to tantrums. I know that it’s takes a great deal of energy for a three year old to walk from one end of the grocery store to the other, (but they don’t exactly communicate their energy needs do they?). So I keep gummies, and glucose tablets everywhere, (car, kitchen, grandparents house) and just make sure they’re topped up before a stressor. That said, yes, in a pinch it actually resolves tantrum behavior, (but a tantrum, I kid you not, is a sign you’re too late. You did not meet the child’s energy requirements).
I prefer glucose because it is fast acting. I know this from my own experiences. It stops negative behavior in its tracks. Glucose has taught me that all anti-social behavior is a function of low blood sugar. I am very convinced of this. I can’t help but think it’s why low carb diets are so pushed, (easier to divide and conquer the grumpy). Sugar has to be converted, and in a negative behavior situation, like I said, it’s already too late.
I don’t have any concerns about rewarding negative behavior for a few reasons. One, when we’re in a good place there’s no good and bad. With appropriate energy metabolism we act with honor and virtue, (we just do). So once they have glucose it only improves their entire biogenetic system. If they’re in a good place energetically there’s no logical incentive to waste energy on acting up to get more glucose. They use their energy productively toward joy and play. Not sure if that makes sense, but that’s been my experience. The other thing I notice is that when I find they “need” glucose, they’re more likely to refuse it, (stubborn behavior indicating that they have low blood sugar). I keep the glucose items in high places so they can’t self dose, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if I let them, they would just magically do so appropriately.
Ever since I found Ray’s work and applied it to parenting I knew that blood sugar was the reason for any misbehavior from a child, (and I see it everywhere). The next time a child that isn’t yours acts up see if you can’t find out when and what they last ate, (I mean don’t pry). If you’re aware of these factors you will find a child that has just been feed PUFA, or hasn’t been fed at all. Glucose will turn them around in an instant. I’ve seen it too many times to believe otherwise.
Oh, and this applies to children from 1-250 year of age, lol.

True, I just don't have time to start a new discussion right now. That's also why I just shared the book instead of commentary.

@evan-hinkle that's amazing, thank you for this post, what an awesome discovery.

Has everyone forgotten Ray’s suggestion of eating sat fat with a sugary food to maximize timespan of stable blood sugar?
I’d be interested in hearing the glucoose loaders try that one and see which one makes them feel better. I throw dobs of coconut oil into a bottle of Oj to take with me to work and it does wonders.
Also aspirin with vit k to improve glucose oxidation

Hear hear! I love all your observations and agree 100%.
