Vit C and Feeling Into Pain

https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2019/08/22/what-causes-heart-disease-part-64-not-changing-your-mind/

If embarking on a higher vit C trial/supplement- consider sodium ascorbate is much gentler on the gut than ascorbic acid - and use bowel tolerance to find your daily dose that you can then space out to every two or three hours (if you can remember to do it).
Bowel tolerance should be easy enough to look up - but is taking frequent increments every 15 mins or so to measure when a looseness starts to occur. This level will vary according to the oxidation load of the current state. 

Just how bio available or taken up oral Vit C is I don't know. In the past relatively small amounts seemed more effective. Liposomal Vit C is supposed to be more effective but is a lot more expensive. There are synergies to all these things as well as potential inhibitors.

Pain of the body becomes a focus of pain in the heart. If you don't want to hear this you simply wont. Pain can be a way of not hearing, seeing or knowing what we are not yet the willingness to accept. Pain can wear our mind down so as to uncover a quality of transparency because we can no longer maintain our conflicts and defences. At first we just want it to go away. If pains persist they demand attention. Children also do this - particularly when deprived of attention.  I don't say these things as exclusive of anything else you choose to do but alongside. There are always greater perspectives than we currently enjoy - or suffer! The mind can be a prison guard in ways that we may never pick up on because the way the situation is framed is completely convincing. Such is our human experience.
You can determine to explore your options as an educative transformation. The key being that after looking at different possibilities, you bring your own honesty into play as active trust - in an ongoing willingness. Some have found Turmeric (with a little pepper) helpful but I wonder if the context is part of the efficacy - not just as placebo 'belief' but as active participation (willingness to heal) rather than wishing something would go away.

I'd thought in this direction on first reading your 'any ideas'? But it was very vague. What if you cant be found under a bushel - so to speak? Having joined in vit C as a topic I felt to speak to pain at a level that may not be included in 'how can I get rid of it' - though that is not what you actually said. You asked for ideas.

My partner in life might offer me "don't forget to breathe' if I meet sharp or intense pain. Connected breath serves an antidote for a sense of disconnected thought and emotional reaction. Forgiveness or acceptance and release of old burdens may run far deeper than the apparent condition falling away. But I would say that - because that's my willingness to live in.


I find a lot of pains of the body come and go such that while associated with a 'condition' the fact that they are not all the time tells me they are not just 'the condition' or bound to persist a misery into an indefinite future. This opens a space of curiosity in me from an otherwise temptation to feeling besieged. Our capacity to transcend fixation on pain is the other pole to making a mountain of a molehill. Life is also what we make of it.
