Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 The corvalen site prescribes 10 GRAMS per day- so you wouldn't expect 15 mg to do anything. Adrienne Re: CORvalen anyone using this ? Yeap it is ribose - i find glucose works better for me than ribose - i put some in the saline recuperat-ion as blasi sometimes says this works well for some and it does work well for me. Also found this :- Can a simple sugar provide relief for the millions of patients afflicted with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue? That's what Teitelbaum, MD, and Valen Labs wanted to determine with an open label, 41-patient feasibility study, the results of which are now being released. The study had two endpoints: assessing the level of relief in symptoms of fatigue and pain; and determining changes in patient quality of life. The patients in the study had an average age of 48 years and were 78-percent female, which is in keeping with the general population as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome affect twice as many women as men and typically first appears at middle age. At the start of the study the patients completed a 10-point quality of life visual analog scale and then took five grams of CORvalenTM D-ribose orally, three times a day, for an average of 28 days. After the 28-day treatment period the QOL questionnaire was repeated, and 69-percent of the 36 patients who completed the course of CORvalenTM treatment had significant improvement in their symptoms. They also averaged a 25-percent improvement in the QOL scale. " What this did was verify what we already knew about the impact of ribose on energy recovery in muscles generally, " says Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Effective CFS/Fibromyalgia Therapies in polis, land. " But specifically we determined the energy building benefit of ribose directly improved the debilitating symptoms of these conditions. I think this study, and follow on studies now in development, will make ribose one of the most important new nutrients studies in the next few years. " Any bit of good news on the relief front - from ribose or otherwise - will certainly be welcome by the over two million Americans who suffer from widespread pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, depression, headaches and other symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. " Despite the fact chronic pain syndrome with fibromyalgia-like symptoms have been described in medical literature for over 200 years, we still don't know the exact cause, " states Clarence , CEO of Bioenergy and Valen Labs. " We do know however that people with fibromyalgia have lower levels of the energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and a reduced capacity to make ATP in their muscles. We know from previous studies ribose can fuel ATP synthesis and are gratified to see this latest piece of science showing ribose supplementation can reduce muscle pain and enhance quality of life for those suffering with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have just re-checked the amount of D-ribose I took daily and it was 15grams not 15mgs (which I mistakenly put in my last email) but having said that it still didn't benefit me. Which I hoped it would as I invested quite a bit of money buying it and hoped that as I had been helped by other supplements relating to ATP e.g. NADH (ENADA) that I would find further improvements. I am sure that some patients will. Adam Re: CORvalen anyone using this ?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks for your comments. With recup the balance of salts make all the difference. If you are still benefiting from this and able to add glucose powder with further benefits I think this is something worth trying. Thanks again. Adam Re:Glucose & CORvalen anyone using this ? I also took a whole box of ribose ( bought from a bodybuilding place) over some months as advise by a Dr Myhill it did nothing for me whatsoever no change . When using the ( alfred blasi protocol )recuperat-ion saline base version in juice I was advise for fatigue to add a little glucose the mixture I played around with the doseage 1/4 teaspoon or sometimes 1/2 teaspoon and somedays I use 3/4 of a teaspoon it seems to help me quite a bit ( more energy less pain less fog doing well really just with the recuperat-ion and glucose ). Try experimenting with little amounts of glucose then work up to more if you don´t feel any change. > > Hya, I take the recup mix as well. How much glucose do you put in your recup for the day? > > I took 15mg of rebose a day for a couple of months but it didn't do that much noticeabley for me.
