@ahmo Terrific. However: Northern Hemisphere caveat: in cold weather coconut oil is a solid!
I'd forgotten this. This morning I put two Enzymatic MeB12s in roughly 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil. I waited for it to cool a bit after putting it in a 165 degree oven for a few minutes, wondering if the heat might in some way degrade the B12. I covered the small porcelain pestle with foil to keep out the light and just came back to it for my afternoon dose.
Well, it's solidified around those small tablets, tiny pink islands in an icy sea! I wonder if I kept it on a radiator whether that would work, keep the coconut oil soft enough to dissolve the tabs. But I'd still wonder if heat would degrade the B12. Maybe I can google that.
On the other hand, maybe even some sunflower oil would do and possibly the Solgar 5,000mg nuggets would dissolve more easily, as they seem to in the mouth. Or the Country Life, for that matter, which also dissolve faster than the Enzymatic. I remember you just dissolved a 5,000--or however much--in your lotion overnight and it was dissolved by morning...
I see that you use the transdermal oil/solution 2x/day. Others have said the transdermal oils allow for a more even diffusion, which is to say gradual, spread out over a longer time, that they might use the oil only 1x/day and it would diffuse over 8 hours. I think it was
@Sherpa who said this, though possibly someone else.
As to your foot baths, I administered my afternoon dose of 300mg K+ by foot bath--doubling the dose to 600mg, just to ensure high enough absorption. I found a terrific plastic kitchen container (good size for travels, too, should it come to that!) and filled it only an inch and a half or so. After I'd finished and had a look at my feet, I noticed what great veins I have on the top of my feet and felt some dismay that I hadn't had enough water in the container to reach them. But if there's more water and the solution is more diluted, should one use more of the 'stuff' for better absorption?
I'm still trying to listen to my body--but other than very obvious symptoms, which I am getting better at reading, I am still flummoxed by its responses...!
Happy New Year ahmo, you give many of us here hope. Your efforts and your insights inspire us and guide us. May your New Year bring new aspects of healing that lighten your path.
