I am so disappointed because I have never gotten such energy from anything else during my 15 year bout with this illness. I am hoping that someone can respond and help us out here. Are you taking the powder in water? Juice? Is there another way to get this stuff into the body? I don't think injections would work because it wears off too quickly. Take care, Maxine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 That sounds like when I used to get Niacin flushes before I switched to the non-flushing formulary. Hmmm. Interesting!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi all, I have tried the D-ribose from Dr M too. I couldn't tolerate it even in the tiniest bit on the tip of my tongue. I first tried with the 5ml tsp as suggested but it took my breath away (almost literally). I became winded and short of breath, bad chest symptoms and extreme weakness. Kept trying at it but my body really was telling me that it couldn't cope. I have had the ATP profile done and a lot of things are very low - my ATP levels generally were amongst the lowest she had seen.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yes I experienced those effects. Since then Ive learned from experience that root of the problem is heavy metals. Regards CS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi and thanks for your replies about your experiences with D-ribose. Though I have the side effects of prickly and heat and literally turning red. I have learnt that I should try to avoid activity for an hour after taking this. I do not suffer from any other physical side effects. I can't complain about these symptoms as I would much rather try a treatment in the hope that it helps rather than moaning over the side effects when it doesn't. In cases where there are side effects and these are listed as complaints these are just used by the medical authorities in trying to take any self help treatment away from the patient. (These comments are not made as a reply to any who have been kind enough to respond ) I am interested in other experiences and pleased to hear about cases where folk have find that D-ribose has helped them. I am also interested in the ATP test as it would appear to show whether the body is making enough or if the body is mobilising what ATP it makes.
