Re: Raw unprocessed honey / was D-Ribose

[Guest guest]

Hi Bernie,

The same exact thing happens to me...except I could stand to gain a hell of a

lot more

weight. But when I cut out or down on carbs -- even complex ones -- I feel

worse -- and

when I dare eat something sweet, I do feel better. Sometimes get a little

mood-swingy,

but not much else.

I wonder if some of these 'diets' are too extreme, and our bodies are crying out

for more

fuel in the form of carbohydrates?

Anyway, recently I've been taking a spoonful of raw unprocessed honey every day.

The

regular homogenized, processed stuff can have high-fructose corn syrup and other

additives, plus the unprocessed has enzymes and supposedly has antibacterial

properties.

So...just a suggestion...perhaps a spoonful of honey might actually be an

alternative to d-

ribose.

I have used the Dr. T D-Ribose, and do not do well on it---makes me feel toxic.

I TOO feel better with a sugar shock-------I refer to it as a " shock " , because I

will eat a very strict diet, then at a weak moment, feeling rotten, maybe every

two months or so, will eat ice cream and feel GREAT !?!? Surely there is

something that can be prescribed rather then sugar?

Remember, " cancer loves sugar " .
