Question, Jay - I thought D-ribose allows for more ATP production, as it's part of the molecule. So wouldn't that also be an energy treatment?

Hi Robin--
I dont have a clue -- I am just taking some of the meds that were talked about in the posts and on the web--
I just did some work that just a few days ago I would have been sweating like a pig and I am bone dry --
I dont want people to get the Idea that this is a Cure for Babs or lyme -- Its Not--
I perty sure that I have somewhat Hammered them into submition because I have been pain and symptom free for around 2 years except for the sweats - cotton mouth and tempature swings --
The LLMD told us at the meeting that the your infections have to be taken care of First- or maybe treatment will include working on Hypothalamus at the same time- dont know yet-
BUT the Hypothalamus thing is likely to get messed up and cause further problems --
Like I said this is all New to me --Jay--

I *think* I remember reading somewhere that d-ribose can be used short-term (like 30 days? don't quote me on that...) in order to ironically further suppress a hypo-cortisol HPA in order to "reset" one's HPA into producing regular amounts of hormones once the d-ribose is stopped.

Many sources do suggest taking a break from d-ribose every 20 or 30 days.
Hubby uses the powder (cheaper) and takes one 5 gram (5000 mg) dose daily.
Best to take d-ribose on an empty stomach. But need to be aware that it is technically a sugar and can feed candida.

Hi All--
WOW I Feel GREAT --
Taking these Hypothalamus meds has made a Night and Day difference in how I feel---
Yesterday I rode my bicycle 15 miles against the wind and did not sweat at all -
My cotton mouth is perty much gone and my body temp has evened out at 98 ---
My typing is Much faster but my spelling is still Horrible so my mind must be getting clearer--
I am Amazed that just taking these few Herbs has changed how I feel so Much--
I think everyone should try taking these herbs because they cost only about $15 total and try this to see if it helps you--Jay--

I'm in too Jay. Hell, why not? I'm desperate! I looked up Vitex and it says it's a female supplement. lol. You're male, right? It also says it may be contraindicated in people with parkinsons and cause fast heartbeat.
It is dirt cheap though. Are there dangers associated with it?

Hi All --
The treatment for the Hypothalamus thing is working Very Well -- I could feel the difference in just a day or 2-
I also found out that I have to take these herbs on time and not miss a dose -- These herbs act Quickly and ware off quickly too-
So I am taking small dose 3 times per day --
Yep $15 dollars I was able to get a bottle of Vitex and D-Ribose at a local health food store-
This was not a large supply but plenty enough for me to see the Good results--
I went to Whole Foods Sunday and purchased Jarrow brand D-Ribose 100mg bottle of powder $22
so that comes out to $1 per day and Whole Foods is a Expensive store so I bet that it can be purchased at half the price-
Solaray brand Vitex 400mg X100 was $7 -- I am taking 12 of these per day -about .75 a day
I stopped taking any ABX when I started taking these herbs and I dont have any symptoms -
I would say give these a try and see what happens- I am Amazed what it has done for me--Jay--

I think d-ribose is for chronic fatigue syndrome. When I used it there was no effect.
