As someone trying to fix what medical science just wants to give me Ambien and Prozac for (it's the name of my new punk band) I am treasuring the work of Dr. Sarah Myhill.

She has a site with a wiki and many books. She's about healing the powerhouses of the cell, and the centerpiece of her treatment is the ketogenic diet.

One of her most helpful tips is the use of D-ribose. And even those of us on low carb might consider it. This is a shortcut to ATP for our cells, and I've noticed considerable improvement since adding some to my day.

It's a tub with a little scoop, and I've been shooting for 2-3 times a day. It hasn't changed my current weight. But it has been giving me more energy, which I try to direct towards healing by not doing much, anyway.

D-ribose Powder (1.5 tsp) contains 5g total carbs, 5g net carbs, 0g fat, 0g protein, and 20 calories. Which adds up to about how much many people eat in vegetable carbs, and I have very few of those
