Pain is something that so many people experience that it has created serious health issues and social problems.

In fact, a survey called “Unhappiness and pain in modern America” found that approximately one-third of Americans report they often or very often feel aches and pains.

Joining us today is dr. Ken Redcross (pronunciation red-cross)—a practicing physician who is teaming up with Arnicare to discuss more natural ways to relieve pain.

Dr. Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor.” And the founder of Redcross Concierge—a thriving practice that treats executives, athletes, and entertainers, as well as individuals from all walks and stages of life.

There’s a lot of brand bandwagoning on the Corona Virus and Flu Virus. Straight talk: this is a safe, simple and proven strategy of boosting the ultimate immune booster: vitamin C.

By taking Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) with pure/high quality vitamin C, you are essentially wrapping the vitamin C in double-layered phospholipid spheres (liposomes) that protect the vitamin through the digestive system and transport it into the bloodstream for absorption in the cells. So, you get all the benefits of high-dose Vitamin C without the gastric distress.

BodyBio recommends mixing one tablespoon of their premium PC with ¼ a teaspoon of their Vitamin C Crystals (which supplies 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid, half the recognized adult tolerable upper limit) in 8oz of water for optimized absorption 3x per day. Because PC helps to deliver nutrients more quickly/efficiently to the blood stream, it is essential to only use pure, high quality supplements. Note: Oxidized Vitamin C, such as from ready-to-drink orange juice, is not freely absorbed across the intestinal mucosa.

Beyond the boosting benefits, PC stands on its own for supporting mental focus, brain function and cellular repair.

Here’s a quote from Dr. Thomas Wnorowski on the enduring benefits of Vitamin C: “We take Vitamin C during seasonal attacks including flu and related infectious viruses because it aids in the production of collagen. Collagen is the ‘glue’ that holds us together and gives cells their resilience and integrity. If an invading pathogen is bounced off, it then has no access to the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus - where viruses can reproduce. A thousand milligrams of Vitamin C three times a day should suffice during the virus season. Amino acids proline and lysine (most often found in protein) will also help collagen production. At the first signs of an attack, act.”

Perfect Hydration (pH Water) is a 9.5+ pH alkaline water with electrolytes, purified to its cleanest form by a 9-stage filtration process, and enhanced through a proprietary alkalizing process. Common foods such as meat, dairy and coffee drive your body’s natural pH to acidic levels, creating an environment for inflammation and disease. High pH alkaline water, like Perfect Hydration, helps support your body’s natural pH of 7.4 and battles the acidic diet side effects. Perfect Hydration offers one-liter and 20-ounce bottle sizes, and they recently launched a 1.5-liter, one-liter six-pack, and one-gallon bottle.
