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 |

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 |
