| In the past, all you would receive would be sugar water intravenously, even if you could not eat for a month. Today at least, evidence-based doctors have finally learned that sick people need nourishment. It took a long time to get there, but they have finally arrived.
Depending on the type of surgery you have had, and how sick you are, you may require what is referred to as hyperalimentation. This consists of high-intensity, intravenous nutrient feeding. | | Once again, it's sugar water in the vein. If the biopsy comes back with a diagnosis of a highly malignant cancer, the doctor may opt to proceed with surgery immediately.
A very complicated surgery may last for many hours. With prolonged anesthesia, you will be exposed to the fluorine-containing anesthetic gases in addition to the stress of the surgery, which will severely depress your immune system. If blood loss is significant during surgery, you might receive one or more units of blood. | | After surgery, you will have one or more IV infusions in your arm, dripping more sugar water plus antibiotics and other medication, but no nutrients. At that time, the stress of surgery and anesthesia, plus the pain, all combine to increase adrenal stress hormone release, mainly Cortisol and epinephrine. These hormones will depress your immunity and increase metabolism. The trauma of surgery will greatly increase your metabolic rate, increasing free-radical generation, and putting a huge demand on your antioxidant systems. | Jean Carper See book keywords and concepts | When subjected to painful medical tests or circumcision, newborns given sugar water cried about half as long as those not getting sugar water. "It increased their pain threshold," according to Dr. Blass. Dr. Blass speculates that such tiny amounts of sugar activate "opioid" chemicals in the brain that reduce pain and distress. In other words, the sugar acts directly on the brain as a painkiller. Both plain table sugar (sucrose) and fruit sugar (fructose) worked. Milk sugar (lactose) was useless.
WHAT ABOUT STRONG STUFF IN MOTHER'S MILK? | Rebecca Wood See book keywords and concepts | All that remains is sugar water with a trace of minerals and, if the fruit wasn't organic, chemical contaminants. Manufacturers blend this sugar water in a "healthy" product and then label the result "natural, fruit juice sweetened." It sounds good. And for the manufacturers, it's been a highly profitable scam since 1990. Fruit juice concentrate appears on the ingredient list as the fruit (or fruits) it was derived from followed by the word concentrate. The two most common are white grape concentrate and pineapple concentrate. There is also mixed fruit juice concentrate. | David Bodanis See book keywords and concepts | For those moments a strong attractant for the bees is needed, and as their flight muscles work on tanks of sugar water, an odor based on sugar will do best. Through careful crossing individuals carrying especially powerful scent oils on the surface of their petals can be selected. That is why modern roses smell sweet. If bees flew by combusting sulfur compounds, no doubt that's the natural perfume roses would waft out.
There's an interesting complication to this sweet sugar signaling by the rose, and that is the matter of the wobbly little aphids that are standing on the leaves. | Michael Castleman See book keywords and concepts | Besides, the rat deaths were related not to how much of the drug they received but rather to how much sugar water they drank.
Dr. Ader read up on his drug and discovered studies showing that in addition to producing nausea, it also impaired immune function. He deduced that not only had his rats learned to associate the sugar water with nausea, they'd also linked it to immune suppression. They'd learned to shut down their immune systems, and as a result, they died.
To Dr. Ader, this explanation made perfect sense. But when he published his findings, immunologists castigated him. | | Ader was a professor of psychology, he was teaching rats to avoid sugar water. Each time they drank, he injected them with a drug that produced nausea. Unexpectedly, the rats did more than throw up. They sickened and died.
At first Dr. Ader thought his drug, which was not poisonous, might have been contaminated with something that was. But it turned out to be pure. Besides, the rat deaths were related not to how much of the drug they received but rather to how much sugar water they drank.
Dr. | Bill Gottlieb See book keywords and concepts | LIME AND SUGAR WATER: An Ancient Ayurvedic Remedy
Ayurveda, the ancient system of natural healing from India, says that the body is a combination of five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. When you have a hangover, the air element "pushes" the fire element, creating an excess of fire, which then "pushes" into the water and earth elements, creating mud. You feel clammy, dense, and sluggish, says DeAnna Batdorff, a clinical aromatherapist and Ayurvedic practitioner in Forestville, California.
Lime and sugar help "cut through the muck," she says. | Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | | One cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice and one cup of pure maple syrup (not the sugar water with maple flavoring - it will not work at all) are poured into a gallon bottle which is then filled with purified water. You may want a little more or little less maple to sweeten to your taste. For optimum benefit at least one gallon is consumed daily. Although it is most beneficial to do a complete abstinence from food and just drink the lemon drink, it is not always possible for those who are very weak or debilitated or toxic from an extended use of drugs or exposure to chemicals. | Jean Carper See book keywords and concepts | Try giving the infant a little sugar water, after checking with a pediatrician to be sure the cause of crying and colic is not tied to an undetected physical problem. It's important to determine that colic is not due to some other-than-dietary cause. mother's milk caused infants to take more of it and suck longer at the breast, according to new research. A little alcohol in mother's milk, however, put the babies off, depressing their appetites.
Still, nursing mothers may want to cut out chocolate, says Dr. | Ralph Golan, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Be careful: most supermarket maple syrup, even with "natural" on the label, is mostly sugar water and imitation maple flavor.
• Sucanat is a granulated, natural, organic sweetener evaporated from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. Nothing is removed but the water, so it is, in effect, an unrefined, whole-foods sweetener, retaining the minerals, trace elements (even chromium), and vitamins. It contains 2.5 percent of these nutrients, whereas table sugar contains none, and brown and turbinado sugars contain only 0.5 percent. Sucanat can be substituted for table sugar teaspoon for teaspoon. | | A bottle of sugar water is ingested on an empty stomach, and blood is then drawn every hour for five hours. Blood sugar levels are measured on each sample, and the results are usually plotted on a graph. A fall in the blood sugar level in any one hour's time of more than 20 milligrams per deciliter, or a level at any time less than 60 milligrams per deciliter, may be diagnostic. Be aware, however, that many individuals with symptoms of hypoglycemia produce normal test results. | Jean Carper See book keywords and concepts | Rhumbs Up: A SWEET CURE FOR CRYING
On the other hand, a newborn crying infant nearly always calms down immediately when given a little sugar water, confirming an old folk remedy of letting crying babies suck on a "sugar teat," a spoonful of table sugar wrapped in cloth. So found Dr. Elliott Blass, professor of psychology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Using a syringe, researchers gave the crying infants a drop of either plain water or a water solution of 14 percent sugar once every minute for five minutes. | John Heinerman See book keywords and concepts | I have seen honey, molasses, syrup, and sugar water used for stopping a case of whooping cough, all of which are incredibly sweet. Maybe the sugar in them and date-fig juice may act as an antispasmodic under such extreme circumstances.
Wounds. Common white sugar has been used as a folk remedy for treating open wounds and sores in many parts of the world with very good success. Honey has also been placed into deep cavity wounds to prevent gangrene from setting in. | Cheryle R. Hart, M.D. Mary Kay Grossman, R.D. See book keywords and concepts | Infants will prefer the sweeter milk or sugar water when given a choice. This natural desire for carbohydrates and sweets is difficult, if not impossible, to completely deny.
Another concern with high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets is the danger of a medical condition called ketoacidosis. Keto-genesis, or the production of ketone bodies, occurs when carbohydrate intake drops to less than about 50 grams per day. Many popular diets recommend ketone production to help with weight loss and appetite control. | Lita Lee, Lisa Turner and Burton Goldberg See book keywords and concepts | Sweeteners (raw honey, organic maple syrup, sucanat, rice syrup)

Temples How often? | Rudolph M. Ballentine, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | The undereducated and ill-informed, swayed by the constant bombardment of television advertising, load their grocery carts with gallon containers of colored sugar water, and struggle helplessly with emotional instability, learning disabilities, and physical diseases stemming in part from their nutrient-deficient, high-sugar diet. Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake" has become "Let them drink Coke."
But sugar addiction is not limited to those who are mired in its most severe versions. Many of us are suffering from its milder forms. | Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz See book keywords and concepts | Even the most "natural" fruit juice is simply sugar water with some vitamins thrown in.
A starding aspect of fruit consumption is that children under the age of five consumed more than 250 grams of fruit and fruit juice per day. This means that young children essentially are getting large amounts of sugar on a daily basis. Studies have shown that the growth of children who consume too much juice is either stunted or the children become overweight. It is vital that children eat fat and protein so that their musculature, bones, and organs are able to grow and develop normally. | | Pediatrics at Maimonides Medical Center (Brooklyn, New York), studied the effects of fruit juice consumption, which is mostly sugar water with some vitamins, on children's growth. Smith and Lifshitz found that children fourteen to twenty-seven months old who had below normal growth patterns also consumed an excessive amount of fruit juice.2 Some of the children also had a history of intestinal complaints and diarrhea. After nutritional intervention to supply more calories from fat and protein, weight gain increased to much higher levels, and the children began to thrive. | Mark Bricklin See book keywords and concepts | However, when volunteers chewed on cheese and then swished their mouths with sugar water, the acid balance returned to its healthy, normal level within minutes. "We aren't sure just what it is in cheese that has this beneficial effect," says Dr. Schachtele. "It appears to be either a protein or a lipid [fat]." The best tooth-savers are aged Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Swiss cheese.
Ulcers
Peptic ulcers could profitably be studied as a case history in medical blundering. | John Lauritsen See book keywords and concepts | There are addicts who seem to live on nothing but candy bars and sugar water. When a sugar and starch diet is joined to an impaired immunological system and the use of antibiotics (like tetracycline), a yeast infection ("thrush") commonly develops, which further depresses immunological functioning and creates even greater craving for sugar and starch. | Ben Davis See book keywords and concepts | | The sugar, however, rapidly vanishes and sugar water mingled with dispersed matter flows from the eyes..."
Cataract
"Cataract is considered by the profession in general as incurable except by an operation," said Father Kneipp. "Nevertheless I am of the opinion that help may be afforded without this, if taken in time. Many patients have been aided by me not only at the commencement of the formation of cataract but even when further advanced. In such cases I have found it needful to include the whole body in the process of dissolving and dispersing and not to confine myself to the eyes only. | Dr. Cass Ingram See book keywords and concepts | We feed our infants and children all manner of poisons: drugs, antibiotics, sugar water, soda pop, candy, sugary cereals, and deep fried foods, not to speak of the toxic food additives found in virtually all processed foods. Yet, we never worry about any ill effects. One dose of chicken nuggets, bologna, or a can of soda pop should be a source of far greater concern for causing ill health than a spoon of crude raw honey, which mothers in the United States and Canada have stringently avoided giving their children for decades on the basis that it could somehow cause fatal disease. | Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. See book keywords and concepts | Include two servings of fruits (or vegetables) from the following list:
• 6 ounces 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice (avoid all juices made with "pure grape" or "pure apple juice concentrate," since these "all-natural" fruit beverages are actually primarily sugar water Instead, choose 100 percent orange juice, grapefruit juice, orange-pineapple juice, tomato juice, or fresh squeeze your own juices if you have time. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | The technique involves the injection of a proliferant such as dextrose (small quantity of dilute sugar water) with local anesthetic such as lidocaine into the area of pain in order to stimulate the body's natural healing processes via the production of collagen, which strengthens the weakened area and reduces pain.
One of the most prominent proponents of prolotherapy is former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D. When he was 40 years old, two separate neurological clinics diagnosed him as having incurable back pain, which radiated down his leg. | Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | The inexpensive, nonpure maple syrup is very high in white sugar water with a little maple flavor and often a few chemicals. It is best avoided.
Chocolate or cocoa by itself is more a bitter than a sweet, but it is often used in candy and as flavoring. Along with the added sweetness, "chocolate" has its own well-loved taste. The cocoa used to make chocolates comes from the cocoa bean, which has some caffeine-like substance, so it is a mild stimulant. Some people are sensitive, even allergic, to chocolate. | Rebecca Wood See book keywords and concepts | Manufacturers blend this sugar water in a "healthy" product and then label the result "natural, fruit juice sweetened." It sounds good. And for the manufacturers, it's been a highly profitable scam since 1990. Fruit juice concentrate appears on the ingredient list as the fruit (or fruits) it was derived from followed by the word concentrate. The two most common are white grape concentrate and pineapple concentrate. There is also mixed fruit juice concentrate.
Health Considerations Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., president of Functional Medicine Research Center (HealthComm Intl. | Michael Castleman See book keywords and concepts | He deduced that not only had his rats learned to associate the sugar water with nausea, they'd also linked it to immune suppression. They'd learned to shut down their immune systems, and as a result, they died.
To Dr. Ader, this explanation made perfect sense. But when he published his findings, immunologists castigated him. Immune responses could not be learned, they insisted, citing the conventional medical wisdom of the day. The immune system functions independently of the mind, the immunologists argued. It simply reacts to germs by attacking them.
