glucose (glu·cose) (gloo´kôs) [Gr. gleukos sweetness] 1. an aldohexose, C6H12O6, occurring naturally as the D- form and found as a free monosaccharide in fruits and other plants and in the normal blood of all animals; it also is combined in glucosides and di-, oligo-, and polysaccharides. It is the end product of carbohydrate metabolism and is the chief source of energy for living organisms, its utilization being controlled by insulin. Excess glucose is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles for use as needed and, beyond that, is converted to fat and stored as adipose tissue. See also hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. In pharmaceuticals it is called dextrose. 2. liquid g.

"This breaks the immune system damage process and the body begins to fight back often with immune reactions similar to that of the flu (Jarish, Herxheimer Reaction)."
a transient, short-term immunologic reaction commonly seen following antibiotic treatment of early and later stages of syphilis and less often in other diseases, such as borreliosis, brucellosis, typhoid fever, and trichinellosis. Manifestations include fever, chills, headache, myalgias, and exacerbation of cutaneous lesions. The reaction has been attributed to liberation of endotoxin-like substances or antigens from the killed or dying microorganisms, but its exact pathogenesis is unclear. Called also Herxheimer's r.
While the symptoms are common with influenza, all those diseases are caused by various bacterial specices, not viruses.
If you go to PubMeD, you'll get 154 citations for Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, 39835 citations for influenza, but zero citations for Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction and influenza.
Very interesting info. Thank you
