13:02:08	alanh	hi
13:02:47	alanh	I have a question about depressed adrenal stress
13:03:05	kristina	Go ahead with your questions and comments
13:04:21	kristina	I am glad that you are here because it is just the adrenal glands that I wanted to talk about today.
13:04:40	kim g	can we ask questions about other subjects also?
13:04:41	kristina	First of all, when we think about the adrenal glands, we need to keep the entire endocrine system in mind:
13:05:22	alanh	I was diagnosed with depressed adrenal stress an am taking Eleuthro, Licorice and Min-chex. My diet is a healthy one but are there any particular foods, etc, that may help this problem?
13:05:34	kristina	The pituitary, the pineal, the thyroid, the parathyroids, the thymus, the pancreas, the adrenals, and the ovaries and the testes are all key in optimizing adrenal health.
13:05:48	kristina	Absolutely ask whatever is on your mind.
13:05:53	kristin j	my question is about using your colonic board and not getting anything out.
13:06:06	kristina	Yes, Alan.
13:06:18	kristina	Can you give me a rough draft of what you currently eat?
13:06:56	Lisa P.	Hi everyone! Pretty rare I can make it at this time!
13:08:05	kristina	when working on a protocol to heal the adrenal glands, we need to eat often, as often as every two hours. Small meals are best.
13:09:05	Lisa P.	Hi Mike K! I'm doing well. I'm getting ready to go to Carmel Ca next week!!
13:09:29	kim g	kristina, i was told not to do enemas (healing from severe eczema) due to the fact that it strips your body of good bacteria. I do a probiotic implant but is that enough?
13:09:35	kristina	Just a bit of a side note here, before the chat started I was on the phone with my friend Mike who is working for the Nurse's Union in Washington D.C on the Employee Free Choice Act
13:09:54	kristina	Just as we were hanging up so that I could type, President Obama drove by. That was fun.
13:09:59	alanh	yes. Fresh steak and raw salad for breakfast. This salad has broccoli, carrots, avocadas, tomatoes and kale. Usually an apple for dessert. I try to eat every three hours if possible. Lunch contains a smaller portion of protein and some type of salad.
13:10:20	kristina	How often do your bowels move, Kim?
13:10:32	kim g	well, not sure now since i have been fasting
13:10:40	kristina	Also, if I don't address one of your posts, do post again as sometimes I do lose a thread.
13:10:42	kim g	but probably 1-2 times per day
13:11:14	alanh	My dinner is much like lunch. I use 3 tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of coconut oil each day
13:11:15	kim g	hard to say since i have been doing enemas reguarly
13:11:32	kristina	Kim, what is your goal in doing enemas? What is your history with colon cleansing?
13:12:05	watsum	Hi - Is it a good idea to mix a coffee enema with some Bifidonate - ?
13:12:05	kim g	well, i am trying to detox so i am fasting and was warned by many other people to do enemas while fasting so as to not reabsorb toxins
13:12:43	kristina	Protein is also key for healing the adrenals. High quality protein sources - organic, grass fed, raw - need to be eaten throughout the day. Always eat some protein and fat with a carbohydrate. Never eat a carbohydrate only meal.
13:13:08	kristina	Great on the fats, Alan. Do you use raw dairy products?
13:13:10	Sandi B	How often is it safe to take enemas?
13:13:58	alanh	I am unable to get these products locally. The nearest place is 150 miles away
13:13:59	kim g	not sure if i should just take some psyllium powder to move my bowels while fasting
13:14:04	kristina	Enemas do not tend to strip the body of good bacteria.
13:14:33	Sandi B	Who here takes enemas?
13:14:38	kristina	No, I wouldn't use the coffee and the bifidonate together.
13:14:41	kim g	is all raw as effective as fasting
13:14:47	kristina	Use the coffee and then use the bifidonate.
13:15:24	Mike K	Sandi B I Do
13:15:30	kim g	me too
13:15:37	kristin j	My question was, that with the colonic board I purchased from you, i have not been able to get enough water in me to get enough stuff out. thanks
13:15:46	kristina	For some, it is safe to take daily enemas and for others it is not. Can you tell me more about your individual situation?
13:15:50	kristina	Also, you can go to http://www.enemabag.com/how_often_to_take_enemas.html
13:16:07	kristina	to learn more about how often it is safe to take enemas.
13:16:18	kristina	That is far, Alan.
13:16:23	alanh	Another problem I am trying to solve is that I stopped chewing tobacco, after 40 years, about a month ago. I now feel extremely tired all the time. Is there a solution?
13:16:31	Sandi B	do you take enemas, Kristina?
13:16:42	kristina	Alan, have you tried daily coffee enemas?
13:17:01	watsum	Thanks Kristina - Can the Bifidonate be mixed with plain water and about how often should Bifidonate be used - ? - ?
13:17:11	kristina	I wrote in my last chat how the coffee enemas work to carry out the toxins from tobacco usage.
13:17:45	Lisa P.	I think on a forum like this, we all here do enemas to improve our health.
13:17:48	kristina	You can access those chat logs here.
13:17:52	alanh	Yes, this seems to help some, but I am still staying tired. I took a series this morning and I feel like I need a nap now
13:17:59	kim g	how fast should someone see results with one daily coffee enema they did not seem to help me but maybe i did not do them for a long enough period
13:18:59	Katy	Hello and Happy Birthday Kris
13:19:30	kristina	Kristin, with a colon board, you still need to take water into the colon slowly so that the colon can hold 2-4 quarts of water before you allow a release. Also, if the colon isn't emptying out with just a water solution, try peppermint essential oil.
13:19:48	kristina	and sea salt
13:20:21	kristina	Alan, what are you eating for the rest of the day? I believe we left off at lunch?
13:21:06	kristin j	thank you. do i hold it all that water? and for how long?
13:22:30	michael b	hello, and a wonderful spring to all you fellow chatters
13:22:31	kristina	I started using the colon cleanse about 12 years ago. Over these years, I have taken many, many enemas. Currently, I take enemas when I feel that I need them but for now I am not on a daily or weekly schedule as I have been in other years.
13:22:49	kristina	Can you nap, Alan?
13:23:04	alanh	Lunch is some type of meat and a raw salad. Dinner is usually a few pieces of cheese and a salad. Dinner usually is small because I'm not hungry
13:23:14	kristina	Napping, as time consuming as it can be, is one of the most therapeutic things we can do.
13:23:21	kristin j	2nd additional question: do you like enemas better than the colonic board?
13:24:01	kristina	However, if you feel that the enema is more irritating then I would want to see a hair analysis to assist you.
13:24:10	kristina	more information on hair analysis
13:24:13	alanh	Yes I'm retired and I have no trouble napping. I can do my projects at any time
13:24:13	Sandi B	Kim and Mike, how often do you take enemas?
13:24:45	kim g	i have been taking one daily
13:24:56	kim g	not sure how big the bag is but i do 2 bagfuls
13:25:09	Mike K	Sandi B - as often as I feel I need to, which is sometimes daily
13:25:11	kristina	Once you have the 2-4 quarts of colon cleanse solution in your colon, you don't so much need to hold the solution
13:25:23	kristina	Yes, I do prefer enemas to the colon board.
13:25:45	kim g	i can't seem to get the whole bag in at once
13:25:47	kristin j	Oh my. Now I must ask you why, please.
13:25:49	kim g	i am kind of tiny
13:25:57	Sandi B	kim - what type bag do you use?
13:26:25	kristina	are folks okay with questions from other members, if not, just let them know
13:26:50	michael b	Kristina, thanks for the tip on worst pills / best pills book.
13:27:06	kristina	you are welcome. have you had a look at it?
13:27:21	kim g	sandy b - 1.5 quarts i think
13:27:36	kristina	Great, Alan.
13:27:49	kim g	how fast should someone see results with one daily coffee enema? they did not seem to help me but maybe i did not do them for a long enough period
13:27:56	kristina	My mom, who had the stroke in February and who also hasn't smoked since February, needs to sleep lots.
13:28:18	kristina	I don't think she needs all that sleep just to help her with the recovery from her stroke.
13:28:27	kim g	good for her for stopping the cigarettes
13:28:51	kristina	It is very hard work for the body to clear out the effects of long-time tobacco usage.
13:28:58	kim g	i am sure
13:29:08	kristina	I am indeed proud of you for taking that excellent step to optimize your health.
13:29:10	Lisa P.	I'm so glad your Mom stopped smoking!!! I should think rest is good for her.
13:29:20	kristina	I believe I have lost a thread or two......???
13:29:32	kim g	how fast should someone see results with one daily coffee enema? they did not seem to help me but maybe i did not do them for a long enough period
13:29:39	kristin j	please tell me why you prefer enemas over the board.
13:29:46	kristina	Kim, what results are you looking for?
13:29:54	kim g	i have severe eczema
13:30:03	kristina	Yes, it is a HUGE deal that she gave up smoking.
13:30:06	kim g	i am eating almost perfectly and have been for sooooo long!!!
13:30:09	michael b	never heard of it till today, i'm off to my independent book store to order it.
13:30:11	kim g	it is crazy
13:30:25	kristina	Do you use a sauna, especially an FIR sauna, Kim?
13:30:29	kim g	no
13:30:36	kim g	no sauna
13:30:44	Sandi B	Kim - what position do you use for your enemas?
13:31:11	kim g	i just lie down on the floor on my back recently i find i can hold more on my left side
13:31:13	kristina	We have had numerous people use our FIR sauna for eczema, with profound results.
13:31:34	kim g	also today for the first time i massaged my stomach counterclockwise- seemed to help some
13:31:36	alanh	I used the chewing tobacco to substitute for food and energy. I could go for days without eating or sleeping. This was especially useful on my job where I worked 80 + hours a week.
13:31:38	Katy	Kris, what kind of health issues might a person whose mother smoked during pregnanacy expect?
13:31:50	kim g	was hoping the coffee enema would help me heal
13:31:55	kristina	I also have information on herb and drug interactions for those who are interested.
13:31:57	kim g	but it hasn't
13:32:18	kim g	that is why i was wondering if i didn't do it long enough
13:32:20	Sandi B	kim - do you use only coffee enemas?
13:32:32	kim g	only did one coffee enema per day for about a week
13:32:53	Sandi B	kim, what else have you used?
13:32:55	kristin j	please tell me why you prefer the enema over the board. wish i had known that before i bought the board from you!
13:33:09	kristina	For instance, for those of you who are using any kind of fiber product and taking any supplements or pharmaceuticals, you want to take the fiber product at least two hours before or after your pills.
13:33:20	kim g	sandi b - no actually right now just using water enemas
13:33:22	kristina	this is tricky, especially for those of us who are eating every couple of hours.
13:33:42	kim g	i am fasting right now and want to make sure i don't reabsorb the toxins
13:33:47	Sandi B	kim - plain water?
13:33:55	kim g	yes distilled water
13:34:22	kim g	i am very miserable - look and feel like a burn victim
13:34:26	Sandi B	kim - what equipment do you use?
13:34:34	kim g	i have a 1.5 quart bag
13:34:43	kim g	at least i think that is the one i have
13:35:02	Sandi B	kim - where did you buy it?
13:35:12	kim g	optimal health network
13:35:17	kim g	of course :-)
13:35:30	kim g	it is red
13:35:35	kristina	For those of us whose mothers smoked while we were in utero, we can expect to need to put extra resource into supporting our minds, our nerve health and our digestive health.
13:35:38	kim g	i bought a clear one but the end is too big
13:35:50	kim g	so i was going to buy another end to go on it so i can use that bag
13:36:19	Katy	that is true for me Kris
13:36:21	kim g	kris - how long do you recommend doing daily coffee enemas before you get results?
13:36:33	Sandi B	kim - do you use vaseline?
13:36:38	kim g	no
13:36:52	kim g	i use KY - prob not the best but it sure helps
13:37:12	kristin j	please tell me why you prefer the enema to the board, kristina.
13:37:14	Sandi B	ok
13:37:18	kristina	thank you
13:37:20	michael b	kim, you should be adding celtic salt to all of your enema solutions
13:37:21	kim g	i know gerson used coffee enemas for his cancer protocol so i know they are good to do
13:37:31	kim g	is just natural sea salt okay
13:37:42	kristina	Why I prefer the enema to the board....
13:37:56	kim g	michael - what does the celtic sea salt do exactly?
13:37:58	kristina	I don't think the enema is for everyone. I do think that the colon board works wonders for some people.
13:38:35	kristina	With the enemas, it is easier to take in the 2-4 quarts of water into the colon at one time.
13:38:42	kim g	is natural sea salt okay or do you have to use celtic sea salt?
13:38:46	kristina	You can lie anywhere you want with the enemas.
13:38:49	kim g	and why sea salt?
13:39:14	kristina	You can use a retention nozzle with the enemas.
13:39:23	kristina	You can use an inline pump with the enemas
13:39:29	Mike K	kim g because it has natural minerals that the body needs
13:39:36	kim g	okay
13:39:39	kristina	The enema equipment is easy to store.
13:39:44	kim g	is natural sea salt okay mike k?
13:40:00	Mike K	kim g yes
13:40:03	kim g	and how much
13:40:11	kristina	But, you have access to more water with the colon board. If you use the colon board as if you are taking an enema series, I believe they work better. Meaning that you take in
13:40:22	Mike K	kim g - IE is 1 tsp. per quart
13:40:24	kristina	the 2-4 quarts of water before you begin to release any water
13:40:37	kim g	okay thanks mike k!
13:40:39	kristina	Most sea salts are fine.
13:40:49	kristin j	thank you!
13:40:51	kim g	sound good!
13:41:18	kim g	sorry don't mean to sound like a broken record, kris, but how long should i do coffee enemas?
13:41:32	kristina	Distilled water can be an excellent therapeutic choice for both drinking and enemas, for a short period of time only.
13:41:35	kim g	i before i can see results
13:41:46	Katy	are there any sea salts that are not good?
13:42:01	kristina	Do you mean how long do you hold the coffee enema or how many times do you take a coffee enema?
13:42:06	Katy	Like the very white ones that may be precessed
13:42:21	kim g	no, i did daily coffee enemas for a week with no results
13:42:23	kristina	And, if I haven't answered a questions it is because I missed it so ask and ask again, always.
13:42:34	kim g	is that enough time to see if it will help
13:42:47	kim g	i have heard good things about them but they did not help me
13:42:55	michael b	kim, it helps balance PH, and deal with water depletion.
13:42:56	kim g	but i only did one per day for a week
13:43:01	Katy	:D
13:43:13	kim g	okay thanks michael b.
13:43:42	kristina	very good question....that would be an excellent research project that I would love to see the results of...one issue is how much sodium chloride is in the salt
13:44:37	Katy	are low quality sea salts mostly sodium chloride?
13:44:42	kim g	my sea salt has 98.32% sodium chloride
13:45:04	kristina	Adulterated commercial mass market salt is very poor quality and is actually a poison. This is because it has been refined in a kiln at extremely high temperatures in order to harvest the salt's minerals for industry. What is left over is a purified chemical known as sodium chloride which was never intended to be used for human consumption. Many additional chemicals such as anti-caking agents, flowing agents and dextrose are added to the sodium chloride and this concoction known as "salt" can indeed create health problems, especially high blood pressure.
13:45:25	kim g	it says it contains 50+ trace minerals, including iodine
13:45:58	Katy	what brand Kim??
13:46:08	kim g	redmond real salt
13:46:10	kristina	Here is another excerpt about sea salt: all sea salts, even if from the most pristine waters, contain various organic materials such as dead fish, fish waste etc. Muramoto maintained that this dead biological matter and waste products are very toxic for the human body. In order to avoid this concentration of foul organic material sensei resurrected an ingenious ancient Japanese method for cleaning sea salt to remove these impurities. No other sea salt on the market has been cleaned in this manner. All the sea salts available for sale are sun dried and then ground. Many have a gray tint that signifies the presence of limestone. Try boiling your sea salt and notice the scum that has accumulated on top which comes from the decayed fish and other sea animals. The salt bed where our sea salt is harvested is an amazing ancient volcanic crater located on the deserted coast of Baja, California. This crater is approximately 6 feet below sea level and is located about 50 yards from the Pacific Ocean behind a mountain. Because the sea water filters through the volcanic crater, the resulting salt contains rare source trace minerals such as cobalt which is essential for the synthesis of vitamin B 12.
13:46:12	kim g	all natural sea salt
13:46:51	kristina	No, not for eczema, a week of coffee enemas most likely won't give the results you are looking for.
13:49:12	kristina	Celtic Sea Salt® Brand - The Original Brand - is authentic, unprocessed whole salt from one of the most pristine coastal regions of France. Since 1976, Celtic Sea Salt® Brand has been harvested by the paludiers (salt farmers) of Brittany using a farming method that preserves the purity and balance of ocean minerals. Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is doctor recommended
13:49:26	kristina	You also need to look out for heavy metals in sea salt
13:49:44	paul	Hi, I had a question about coffee enemas?
13:49:47	kristina	Celtic sea salt: In our most recent analysis all these elements were either nondetectable (Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury) or were well under the published safe limits specified by Codex (Lead – present at levels no higher than .000076% while the Codex limit is .000200%). There are no limits specified for Nickel (present at levels no higher than .000004%).
13:49:52	kristina	ask away
13:50:12	paul	How does it affect good gut bacteria?
13:50:43	michael b	and it is great for cooking, tastes better too
13:51:13	Katy	Does salt kill some good bacteria in the colon?
13:51:29	Katy	even good sea salt?
13:51:40	kristina	First of all, I don't think that anyone really knows exactly how putting coffee into the colon effects the bacteria in the colon.
13:52:04	kristina	This is true of salt, too.
13:52:21	paul	So, is it a good idea to do post probiotic implants?
13:53:31	kristina	For what it is worth, The Nestle Research Center recently conducted a study on coffee’s role in gut health. Researchers found instant coffee consumed in moderation may increase Bifidobacterium spp. in the gut.
13:54:12	kim g	is 98.32% sodium chloride okay to use?
13:54:12	kristina	Consuming three cups of instant coffee a day for three weeks resulted in increased populations of Bifidobacterium, a healthy “probiotic” bacteria. The researchers stated that it is not currently known which of the components of coffee could be responsible for the effect, but they noted that both fiber and chlorogenic acids may be metabolized by the gut microbiota.
13:54:26	kim g	i mean is that particular salt okay to use
13:54:41	paul	The reason I ask is because I have been doing alot of FIR sauna and sometimes follow up with the coffee, as it it really helps as Sherry Rogers suggested in her books
13:54:45	Katy	Hum, I wish it were chocolate that increase Bifodo. :D :D
13:55:16	kristina	Kim, I am not certain. Will you email the question and I will research it for you.
13:55:24	kim g	sure
13:55:26	kim g	thanks
13:55:33	kristina	you are welcome.
13:55:41	kim g	so three cups of coffee in an enema or by mouth
13:55:55	kim g	it increases the good bacteria
13:56:38	paul	What about sweet dairy whey?
13:56:40	kristina	It is a VERY good idea to do the probiotic implants. Always use just bifidus or a formula rich in bifidus.
13:56:50	kristina	Well, that was one study.
13:57:04	kristina	Coffee taken orally can be very hard on the adrenal glands.
13:57:25	kristina	there are many ways to increase good bacteria in the gut.
13:57:35	kristina	Using Kombucha is one of those ideas.
13:57:56	kristina	I do into detail on Kombucha in my book.
13:57:57	Katy	Does the liver have more than the gallbladder to evacuate through?
13:58:15	kristina	Not quite sure what you mean....?
13:58:32	kim g	kombucha is great - i was told not to drink it while fasting...darn
13:58:36	Katy	Is a liver cleanse also a gallbladder cleanse?
13:58:43	kristina	cocoa can be used to improve gut health
13:59:02	kristina	can be but isn't always, depending on what protocol you are using
13:59:21	kristina	Why wouldn't one drink homemade kombucha while fasting?
13:59:33	kristina	On that, I need to go be with my next client.
13:59:34	kim g	they said because of the caffeine and sugar
13:59:44	paul	thanks!
13:59:49	kim g	thanks, kris!
