19:54:27	Carol45	Hi early birds!
19:54:40	billythekid	Hi, Kristina and Carol45
19:56:30	billythekid	I have a quick question: What is the safest LOW temperature for a coffee enema? I have trouble holding the enema if the temperature is in the 100 degree range.
19:57:02	Dave	Hi all, Dave here
19:57:46	Kristina	Hello all
19:57:50	Lisa	Hi Everyone! It looks like our usual crew is here!
19:58:09	Carol45	Good to see you.
19:58:24	Lisa	How was your Xmas vacation?
19:58:36	Kristina	Low temperature enemas have been used for people who have a fever, to lower it.
19:58:43	TomIA	Hello, my first visit
19:59:17	Carol45	Seeing family at Christmas always goes by too fast.
19:59:33	Kristina	As far as how low, I don't know an exact temperature but I imagine that you can go as low as 70 degrees
19:59:35	Lisa	Kris, did you get enough sun on your vacation?
19:59:47	Kristina	I didn't go because I had too much work to do. I will go in the summer
19:59:50	Dave	I think cool water enemas for high fever were standard, at least in 'my day.'
20:00:01	Kristina	Hi Tom! Welcome.
20:00:04	billythekid	Thank You, Kristina.
20:00:10	Carol45	Would the temperature change the effects of the coffee?
20:00:22	Kristina	Not that I know of but, truly, I don't know.
20:00:36	TomIA	Wondering if it would be best to make a personal visit for a hydrotherapy before investing into the silicone system with colon tube?
20:00:51	Kristina	Tom, it depends on what you are looking for.
20:01:10	Carol45	Interesting - a rerun of MASH had a warm water enema prescribed for a patient with hypothermia.
20:01:37	Dave	I think that's standard too.
20:01:51	Kristina	Taking enemas to fully cleanse your entire colon is easy, once you know what you are doing. We have very detailed instructions in the Silicone Flowmaster that will guide you through the process.
20:02:04	TomIA	Looking to see if I could improve overall health by improving habits and cleansing?
20:02:10	Kristina	We also have a wealth of information on both www.optimalhealthnetwork.com and on www.enemabag.com.
20:02:43	Kristina	However, if you need assistance with any type of ill health situation, you might want the wisdom and experience of a colon hydrotherapist.
20:02:55	ealincoln	What do you think about castor oil packs?
20:02:57	Hogman	I'm not sure how to keep the nozzle in Kris...do you still charge $90?
20:02:58	Kristina	Just make sure that the colon therapist that you plan to visit is knowledgeable.
20:03:06	TomIA	I have bought the downloads on large enema and the hydro procedure
20:03:51	Kristina	Tom, then getting your own system and viewing the DVD, Cleansing, Coffee Enemas and Colon Tubes ought to be an excellent starting place.
20:04:13	Hogman	I've tried 3 times to do it myself, and the nozzle keeps coming out
20:04:25	Kristina	I think castor oil packs are an excellent healing tool. What do you think about them? Why are you thinking of using them?
20:04:32	TomIA	Your location is a few hours but as close as any I have found plus I travel to WI often and could combine the travel
20:04:48	ealincoln	Just reading about them in Fourfold Path to Healing and am still not regular
20:04:58	Kristina	Yes, for an enema series, we do charge $90. You could try a phone consult, which is cheaper at $1.40 per minute.
20:05:06	TomIA	Does the new 70D colon tube have the delrin tip?
20:05:09	Kristina	You might also invest in an enema retention nozzle.
20:05:28	Kristina	We would love to work with you, Tom.
20:05:56	Lisa	Tom, it's worth the trip! I went to OHC all the way from Texas!!
20:06:12	TomIA	I just recieved my order with the retention nozzle and peppermint oil
20:06:13	Kristina	Most people aren't going to fully improve, if improve at all, their regularity with the use of castor oil packs.
20:06:28	Kristina	What is the 70D colon tube that you refer to?
20:06:40	Kristina	Great
20:06:58	TomIA	The new 70 durometer colon tube on the website? Should do the colon hydro versus the enema route if I visit?
20:07:19	Kristina	Ealincoln, can you tell me more about your situation?
20:07:37	Lisa	Tom, I did both when I was there.
20:07:58	ealincoln	It's Elizabeth. I'm taking the Ashwaganda & Licorice for adrenal fatigue and hypothyroid.
20:08:09	TomIA	Both on the same visit?
20:08:11	ealincoln	Under your supervision
20:08:12	Kristina	Tom, it depends whether or not you wish to learn more about taking enemas or just have a good colon cleanse. Both will cleanse the colon. The enema series will teach you more about how to take enemas at home. The colon hydrotherapy session will not.
20:08:45	Hogman	also Fris... do you know of a place to get a prostate massage. You mention it is good for the prostate
20:10:15	Lisa	How nice we have a lot of people here today!
20:10:23	Carol45	I have a question about adding salt to the enema solution. I had a very bad exerience getting dizzy and sick when taking a soapwater enema years ago. Is it possible for that to happen when the correct amount of salt is used?
20:10:37	Kristina	no, item 668 does not have a delrin cap.
20:10:55	Mike	Kris - In a three series does soap / coffee & salt make sense?
20:10:56	Kristina	Only items with a 669 have a delrin cap
20:11:37	Dave	Since hydrotherapists are scarce in many places, the enema series probably is the most beneficial.
20:11:59	Kristina	Hi Elizabeth. How are you doing? How much fiber are you eating?
20:12:18	Kristina	No, I do not know of a place to get a prostate massage.
20:12:45	ealincoln	Probably not enough. I'm trying to increase the amount I'm eating but the majority of my calories have been coming from raw milk products and bone broth soups w/ egg.
20:13:31	michael b	a wonderful winter to all, kristina, i read the tornado last tue.was the only 2ond.on record,since 1967, wow.
20:14:03	Kristina	Carol, salt in an enema won't ameloriate a negative reaction to soap. What might ameloriate a negative reaction to soap in an enema is using only therapeutic enema soaps.
20:14:34	TomIA	You mention the grapefruit extract for dogs water, will that help with breath odor or what, I just bought some from your site for bag cleaning wondered what it might do for animal
20:14:49	Kristina	Can you add a handful of carrots in your daily diet, or some other fiber rich food?
20:15:05	Carol45	Kris. It hasn't happened using your goat milk soap, but i am very careful to add the salt, except for the coffee implant.
20:15:26	ealincoln	Have been trying to eat more vegetables generally and will try to increase
20:15:47	Kristina	Weird, eh, on the weather, plus a 100 car crash about 5 miles from my house.
20:16:44	Dave	how's the new Web site coming along?
20:17:35	michael b	speaking of cars, did you get yours back?
20:18:21	Carol45	I take it then it was the (Ivory) soap that caused the problem, and with plain water it shouldn't happen? I would like to take a series in the mornings now that I'm retired. But am afraid of a reaction on a day when I have a late morning appointment.
20:19:24	Kristina	Grapefruit Seed Extract kills worms, viruses, fungus and more and helps keep animals healthier.
20:19:51	Hogman	Kristina, which is better for a colon cleanse series......knees to chest with butt in air.....or on back with tube between legs? Which procedure do you use?
20:19:52	ealincoln	How much Grapefruit Seed Extract should be added to how much water?
20:19:52	billythekid	Carol45, if there is too much of anything in your stomach at the time of the enema you will experience the symptoms you described regardless of what kind of enema it is. That has been my experience in the past.
20:20:26	Kristina	Carol, I don't think the salt mediates any negative effect on the colon from the enema soap but rather years ago you used a soap that had an ingredient that your colon reacted to negatively.
20:21:05	Kristina	Elizabeth: Great! Remind me, are you taking any magnesium?
20:21:10	Carol45	Negative is right. i thought i was going to pass out.
20:21:26	Kristina	Whatever procedure one prefers.
20:21:26	TomIA	Theres a note online about how many drops for pet water
20:21:36	Dave	Ivory was the traditional ingredient of choice years ago, but i use castile or the goat milk soap, much milder.
20:21:37	ealincoln	Yes, & calcium (both from Standard Processes) & zinc
20:21:43	Kristina	Elizabeth, what for what use?
20:21:59	Kristina	How many capsules of magnesium?
20:22:13	ealincoln	3 per day with the calcium with meals
20:22:57	Kristina	let's increase the magnesium to 2 capsules, three times per day, okay? Also, how many calcium?
20:23:02	Hogman	Thank you kris
20:23:02	TomIA	If I did the visit with you for the emema would we use the colon tube? I would purchase the system there if was locally available
20:23:13	ealincoln	2 tablets 3x/day
20:23:15	Kristina	We use the enema system that you provide.
20:23:25	Kristina	Great on the calcium
20:23:30	ealincoln	OK
20:23:46	ealincoln	increasing the magnesium should help with regularity?
20:23:50	TomIA	Would I need to mail order and bring it with me or could I pick it up at the visit
20:24:56	Carol45	ealincoln, I have found that the magnesium has greatly helped me with regularity.
20:24:59	Lisa	Tom, I picked up mine in my visit. Much easier.
20:25:06	ealincoln	Thanks, Carol
20:25:25	Kristina	Yes, increasing the magnesium will help with regularity. The body has what is called a "bowel tolerance" for magnesium. Once you are taking too much magnesium, you will get diarrhea
20:25:35	ealincoln	I'm trying to educate myself on what vitamins and minerals do what
20:25:38	ealincoln	OK.
20:25:46	Lisa	And Tom, that way you don't have to pay postage!
20:25:46	Kristina	Good for you!
20:26:00	TomIA	Would we do a small and large emema per your download video on the same visit?
20:26:02	Carol45	Kristina has been a great help to me with the supplements.
20:26:11	ealincoln	Indeed
20:26:38	Kristina	Yes, you get a total of 3 enemas during a 90-minute enema series here at the Optimal Health Center.
20:26:49	TomIA	I was not sure if the stock was onsite at the clinic
20:27:08	Kristina	Thanks, Carol. How are you feeling these days with your new supplement protocol?
20:27:31	Lisa	Yes, it's on site. Very handy.
20:27:31	Kristina	Yes, our shipping department is right here at our Center
20:27:44	TomIA	I will call and discuss the lead time for an appointment sounds like the way to start this off right
20:28:32	Lisa	Tom, you can have a massage and sauna too! It's so relaxing!!
20:28:50	Carol45	Better than I was, but for a while I was sure dragging. Guess I'm still not getting the right kind of rest. That old habit of pushing myself to finish something is a hard one to break.
20:29:06	Kristina	Yes, Tom, and when you call to make your appointment, if you know what enema equipment you will want, order it at that point so that we may set it aside for you as we do occassionally run into back order situations.
20:29:07	ealincoln	I hear you, Carol
20:29:17	Dave	You will be happy, Tom, from the voices of experience.
20:30:03	TomIA	I will look into the sauna and massage options as well
20:30:06	Carol45	A nice relaxing massage sounds so inviting!
20:30:11	Kristina	I, too, hear you, Carol. The demands of life are often stronger than the wisdom regarding how much sleep and what type of sleep one knows they need.
20:30:31	TomIA	Never done that, have given many to my wife but never treated myself
20:31:10	Kristina	Yes, we do have a fabulous situation here with the center offering a FIR sauna, a massage followed by a colon cleanse. It is a unique therapeutic experience.
20:31:31	TomIA	2-3 hours in the clinic?
20:31:45	Carol45	What type of a 'sauna' should I look for in my area? There are a lot of beauty shops with tanning beds.
20:32:07	Bob R	Lisa, where in the Austin area do you live, also, do you know of any colon theripists in the Georgetown area?
20:32:31	Kristina	3 hours, with a one hour massage. You can take a longer massage, if you wish.
20:32:43	Kristina	Look for a Far Infra Red Sauna.
20:33:02	Dave	You mean many massages or enemas to your wife, Tom?
20:33:16	TomIA	Massages for the wife
20:33:49	TomIA	90minutes for enema session plus 90 more for sauna and massage?
20:34:19	Kristina	Yes.
20:34:33	Lisa	Bob, I don't go to a colon theripist anymore in Texas since we need an RX from a doctor to have one! Texas is the only state to do that!
20:35:43	Carol45	Lisa, I'll bet the ones over the state line are busy!
20:35:58	Lisa	In Georgetown, look up on the I-act website to safely find one.
20:36:21	Lisa	Sure you're right Carol!!
20:36:47	Hogman	Kristina....how long should an enema series take ?
20:37:24	Carol45	Hogman, as long as you like - don't rush them.
20:37:25	Kristina	Most enema series will take a minimum of 30 minutes, but we will take 60-90 minutes with people.
20:37:37	Bob R	Thanks Lisa. I have, not recently, but nothing on the north side of Austin.
20:38:18	Lisa	You're right Bob, they all seem to be south!
20:38:25	michael b	question, per your book, page 145, combining flax tea with coffee, are both equally absorbed? seems like to me the best of all.
20:39:09	Kristina	The time a series of enemas takes depends on how quickly you take the water into the colon, how much water you take in each enema in the series and how long it takes you to empty the colon in between enemas. Some people need to take a long time on the toilet, emptying the contents of their colon.
20:39:40	ealincoln	Kristina, do you recommend taking enemas for my situation? If so, how many?
20:39:48	Dave	My series at OHN hav taken an hour or so, but it depends on fill and hold time, including the coffee implant.
20:40:19	Kristina	Hi Michael.
20:40:27	Lisa	Bob, Charlotte Lyne is the very best in Austin, but she is south. Worth the extra drive!
20:40:43	Kristina	I can't say how equally absorbed the flax seed tea is. Sorry, but I do know it is soothing.
20:43:11	TomIA	Is the colon tube more effective for cleaning deep than the retention nozzle for at home use
20:44:05	Lisa	Bob, maybe it's Layne. Can't think of the spelling now, but it's something like that. She's on Barton Springs Road.
20:44:33	Kristina	Yes, the colon tube is excellent to use in the second and/or third enema in the series as the lower colon will be cleared out so that you can insert the colon tube deeper into the colon for a more effective colon cleanse.
20:44:41	Hogman	I keep getting knocked off here..............sorry
20:44:53	Carol45	I think the tube versus retention nozzle is a personal choice. I use the tube with good results, but have never tried the nozzle.
20:45:01	Kristina	It is useful to have a retention nozzle on hand to use in the first and possibly second enema in the series.
20:45:10	Kristina	That is fine, Hogman.
20:46:03	Dave	The retention nozzle is easier to use solo than the colon tube, in my opinion.
20:46:41	TomIA	Is plain filtered or RO good for deep cleaning
20:46:52	TomIA	will check out the message board
20:46:55	Dave	We could use all the posters we can.
20:46:57	Carol45	Yes, we'd like to see all of you on the board.
20:47:07	misulda	Kristina, will you record more DVDs? That one you made is very interesting and very educational.
20:47:22	Kristina	We are just in the process of launching our new site so I could use the extra minutes to do some more work. If anyone has any more questions or concerns, let me know now, otherwise, I will close down the chat until next month. I sure do enjoy this time each month.
20:47:33	Kristina	I will likely make more movies.
20:47:46	Kristina	RO water is excellent.
20:47:50	ealincoln	Just wondered if I should be doing regular enemas along with everything else
20:47:59	Mike K	Kris does a coffee enema lose its effectiveness if held for longer than 12 or 15 minutes?
20:48:03	Kristina	Go to www.enemabag.com for a further discussion on water use in the enema.
20:48:03	Dave	Any ETA for the site. And next chat date?
20:48:10	TomIA	Thanks for the info and will be in contact by phone
20:48:30	Kristina	Elizabeth, if you aren't moving your bowels daily then taking enemas can be an excellent choice.
20:48:50	ealincoln	How often?
20:48:53	Lisa	Hope to see ALL of you on the message board!!
20:49:14	Dave	Best at Kris's Tom.
20:49:17	Kristina	I think it is fine to hold a coffee enema longer than 12-15 minutes. I don't know if anyone knows exactly what happens in the body minute to minute. It would be good to know, but...
20:49:24	Carol45	ealincoln, do you have Kristinas book?
20:49:28	ealincoln	yes
20:49:32	ealincoln	that's how I got started with her
20:49:37	ealincoln	I'm in Pennsylvania
20:49:47	Kristina	One to seven times a week.
20:49:57	ealincoln	Got it. Thanks!
20:50:01	Carol45	It has good recommendation on how often.
20:50:10	ealincoln	Thanks, Carol
20:50:12	Carol45	Please join us on the board.
20:50:32	Kristina	Talk to you all soon. Please do email or call if you need anything else. Bye.
20:50:38	ealincoln	It's a time consuming process and with everything else going on.... three kids, etc. it's sometimes hard to find the time to take care of yourself
20:50:42	Carol45	Kristina can we have a serun testing spot on the board?
20:50:59	Carol45	Supplements, etc.
20:51:08	Lisa	Kristina's book is great! One of a kind. You all should have it. Very helpful!
20:51:35	Kristina	See you on February 13th at 7.
