Sweet Solution for Medics

 

Many medical professionals worldwide have to practice in difficult circumstances. Some doctors work in remote areas in low-income countries where there are no hospitals with modern techniques. Others work in states where specialized diagnostic tools such as ultrasound and sophisticated modern treatments such as PRP or stem cell therapy are simply too expensive for most of their patients.

With a small group of physicians from different parts of the world, we are about to introduce a new injection technique which is safe, easy to learn and applicable even for those colleagues who work in remote areas in very difficult circumstances. What is the proposed solution? We use shallow injections with a very low concentration of sugar water (glucose 5% in Europe, dextrose 5% elsewhere), which is derived from natural ingredients such as potatoes or corn. The sterile solution is already available worldwide as an IV solution and is inexpensive. The injection techniques are easy to learn and safe to give because they are given superficially (mainly in fascia and muscles). The dose of the sugar each session is so low (95% is water) that it can even be applied for diabetics or patients on a strict diet. On top of that, most of the sugar water is immediately metabolized at the injection sites.  

The goal of the international project "Sweet Solution for Medics" is to teach doctors how to treat their patients with musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain and sports injuries. We also hope to train local doctors to train their colleagues in the area how to apply those injections in their own practice. For this project, we are not looking for direct financial funding. We do not plan to send modern medical equipment to those doctors. All we hope for is some exposure about this project among certain organizations who are already active in this field, so we can make this project a win-win situation for both medical professionals and their patients worldwide.  

We realize that it can be a long process to convince other doctors of the benefits and efficacy of this new method. We have no large clinical studies (yet) and we do not know all the exact mechanisms of action of this technique (yet). It is a good sign that some doctors are now using the same solution in epidural injections and in ultrasound guided injections for carpal tunnel syndrome with good outcome and no side effects. There are, for example, 5 RCTs on carpal tunnel syndrome! These researchers hypothesize that this product is better than cortisone on the long term and with no side effects. All we have now is a growing body of testimonies of patients and their doctors. We hope that soon more studies will confirm our findings and support this project. Some institutional interest is more than welcome.

Thank you

A free online Glucopuncture course is available by clicking the Glucopuncture Logo below. As it contains 200+ slides and 25+ videos (100 MB), uploading may take some time, even with fast internet. If it doesn't work well on your PC, you could try on your tablet. 




Important Note:

The off-label use of these G5W or D5W injections (as detailed in this course and also in all the publications or lectures on glucopuncture) still needs further scientific exploration, thorough ethical consideration and official approval by the local authorities. As a practicing physician, you agree that when you apply glucopuncture in your office, you always will do so according to the laws of the country where you have your medical practice. We also ask you to promise that you always inform your patient and ask for informed consent. We also invite you to share your experiences with your colleagues and discuss the clinical application of Glucopuncture with them. And maybe you become a regional Glucopuncture teacher yourself. Thank you.
