Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Well one thing you should know is D Ribose is a sugar, its a glyconutrient. Its the D in DNA... So its perfectly natural.Our bodies are supposed to make it , but for some reason people with fibromyalgia dont make enough of it. It feeds your body on a cellular level and enables your cells to use the nutrients that come from food. One of the reasons we have pain is because our muscles are starving, Our bodies dont properly process food, thats why so many of us have digestive tract symptoms. Its also one of the reasons we dont sleep well , it helps the body to use ATP which is responcible for the sleep cycle. All I know is for me its made a world of difference. This was stumbled on by accident by a heart surgeon who prescribes it to her heart patients for healing after heart surgery. The surgeon has fibromyalgia and decided to try it on herself. Thats how it came to the attention of the medical community. The folder in the links section has the information.(I will post that link in a seperate post.) deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
