Hello there.
I've started this a week ago and I'm on 200gr of dextrose per day.
The first night was filled with vivid dreaming of a kind I probably have had to catch up with for a very long time (I dreamt of a prior surgery experience when I had actually been under full anesthesia). However, the 25gr's effects waned after about 3,5-4 hours. Whenever this happened, my pulse rose for no reason (I've been having this for years).
About half an hours after the next dose, the dextrose's effect kicked back in for me and I was calm and off to another 4hrs of deep yet eventful sleeping.
About two days in I suddenly had watery diarrhea for half a day.
About a day or two later, I had strong gastrointestinal cramping with a high frequency of almost spastic bowel movements. These were relieved several hours after ingesting psyllium and activated charcoal. I suggest glucose definitely sets some things in motion about restoring forwards peristalsis/motility of the gut and digestive organs.
The pure dextrose is really totally different to sucrose or honey. Pure dextrose powder is also so much better than those sour little fruit-flavoured dextrose tabs/lozenges available for purchase. Those are sickening after only a few and had been my only prior experiences with dextrose.
After a couple of days, however, my high pulse remained and it felt as if the dextrose had no more effect. I was also craving something which at first I mistook for being thirsty or hungry:
I need a few mgs of thiamin with each dextrose dose and 1.5grs of potassium chloride. The latter tastes surprisingly extraordinarily good with dextrose.
Both potassium and chloride ions are essential for increasing glucose phosporylation, intracellular (structured) water and volume, and the full-on insulin production and release from pancreatic beta cells. Fructose inhibits all of that.
Sodium is shit. Sodium enhances the cortisol and adrenaline signalling and by this is contrary to the utilization of glucose.
With these, thiamin and potassium chloride, the dextrose dosing has been working for me for the past days without weird cravings and its effects also seem to not wane as quickly as before (heart rate, etc). So I will continue with this regimen and perhaps increase it every week.
When I tried 50grs dextrose in the beginning, that was too much as my stomach felt heavy and I had a mild feeling of nausea.
Please give it some thoughts and a try yourselves. I would like to hear others experiences also for the chloride supply without sodium.
