The Inflatable Nozzle and Colon Tube Are The Best Investment That I Have Made
I got the two colon cleanse enema videos, All About Enemas and Cleansing, Coffee Enemas & Colon Tubes, from you and watched them both. Excellent!
I also received the Enema Retention Flexible-Inflatable Nozzle with the same order. One of the problems that I have had is that for every 2 ounces of fluid that went in, 1 ounce came out as leakage. No matter how hard I tried to squeeze and keep the leakage from occurring, it was to no avail.
The Enema Retention Flexible-Inflatable nozzle has allowed me for the first time to do a 2-quart enema fluid without any leakage at all. What a difference!
After completing the first enema, I then set up with the 24" Silicone Colon Tube and was able to insert it a good 12". I never experienced any discomfort at all and was able to get to the transverse colon for the first time that I can recall achieving that. The next step will be cleansing the complete colon.
My energy level increased by a great amount that evening and the next day I really experienced a new level of energy. In 1996 I was exposed to the toxic chemicals hexene, tolulene, and benzene.
I have had seizures since that exposure. I did a round of sessions with a hydrotherapist and it greatly helped, but then she moved away.
This year I decided to do my own hydrotherapy and am setting up to do enemas myself. The inflatable nozzle and colon tube are the best investment that I have made, along with the colon cleanse enema videos.
Any suggestions for addition equipment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the information.

Tremendous Help with Severe Constipation Problems
My main problem now is actually my hormones. I am a 53-year-old woman who has been going through severe menopause symptoms for the past 8 years: hot flashes, constipation, fatigue, heart palpitations, mental fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia. I have been on bioidentical hormones which had helped me when I first started them. As the years went on they not only stopped working, they caused many problems with my thyroid and adrenal glands. My cortisol levels were off also. Kristina has been working with me with various supplements and suggestions for proper nutrition and exercise, and this is helping to clear out the overload of hormones and make my own body heal and balance. The HTMAs that I have been getting and saliva tests are helping to see where I am at hormonally I am delighted to say that I am continuing to make progress every day. I feel so much calmer and balanced. I don’t crave sugars anymore and my hot flashes are getting much better. Nothing I had tried over the past 8 years had worked. I have not been able to find any doctors who can or will address this issue naturally and without drugs. (Beware of the pushers of "bio-identical hormones" — they are not as safe as they say.) I am so thankful for Kristina and her vast array of research and cutting edge understanding of all of these women's issues. She is very diligent at continuing her learning so that she can help others. Reading her book, devouring her website, and reading any information she has suggested me to check out, has helped me in my ongoing research to improve my health. Also being patient helps because it takes time to truly improve your health. But it can happen and I am living proof and most thankful I have found her and her wonderful staff. I look forward to the day when medical doctors will join with those studying integrative medicine — together they can then help many people. |

Small Meals, Animal Protein, Healthy Fats, and Enemas
I am writing you from La Belle Province, Québec, Canada. Optimal Health Network has wonderful enema products. Your dedicated work offers educative tools to learn how to use them.
Kristina, you have opened up a new avenue for me with your simple approach to health. Through your book, Ten Days to Optimal Health, I am learning about small meals, animal protein, healthy fats, and enemas.
This summer after planning my fast, I took a week off work to experiment with enemas, coffee enemas, and implants. The result: I experienced a wonderful vacation!
Years back, I learned colon cleansing form Norman W. Walker’s books. I regularly visited a colon hygienist. Knowing enemas now, I prefer to invest in food and supplements. I have the Norwalk Juicer at home, I regularly juice vegetables, but now add Living Fuel!
We share a common goal, Kristina, which is to live a quality life past 100 years!
What is my motivation?
a) Seeing my father die of cancer, when I was 15 years old. He was 46.
b) I am now experiencing this precious gift of life more and more... through this body. So the very least I can do is learn about maintenance. I do it for my car. I do it professionally as well, owning a cleaning company. I am very, very happy that I am learning how to maintain this body.
Ten Days to Optimal Health is a wealth of information for me to attain my goal.
Best regards,
Esmond D. |

Back to Old Self
I am 57 years old and have always been a healthy, active person, but 4 years ago things started changing. My blood pressure got high; I had starting signs of osteoporosis and chronic constipation, was extremely tired, and had lower back pain and intense foot pain.
My career was spent in a plant where there were a lot of toxic chemicals and I thought this was the cause of most of my problems.
This is when I found out about the Optimal Health Center. The center made me very comfortable in the meeting because there were a number of things that I never talked to my own doctor about.
It was recommended that I do an enema series, the 10 Day Optimal Health Nutrition Plan, a 5 Day Fasting Plan, and an enema series at the completion of the visit. During this therapy I took the Adrenal Stress Test and the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.
During my therapy I noticed a big change in my body. My energy began to come back, much of my pain disappeared, constipation went away and my blood pressure became normal. Another problem I had was a prostate problem which went away also.
The final analysis to my problem shocked me: malnutrition. The reason for this was working too many hours on the job and living on sandwiches and fast food with no cooked meals. This problem was never found by any doctor I ever went to.
For the past 4 months I have followed the Optimal Health Nutrition Plan and an taking the recommended supplements. It has turned my life completely around. I feel healthy, full of energy and am now enjoying life.
Thank you so much, Optimal Health. I especially want to thank Dee Dee and her staff for their loving care and understanding.
Sincerely Yours,
Alan H. |

Herbs, Nutrition and Lifestyle Changes Restored my Health!
For nine years I have struggled with systemic inflammation, which began with an initial injury and with time manifested itself as, for a lack of a better name, fibromyalgia. In addition to this I had various other miscellaneous health issues, such as extremely dry eyes, exhaustion and lack of energy and, of course, depression as result of trying to deal with such serious problems and never getting any effective help from the regular allopathic medical establishment. I had seen countless kind, wonderful family doctors and specialists who offered me little but anti-inflammatory drugs, which helped somewhat while I was using them, but there never seem to be any end to taking them. And as the years wore on these medications were creating serious digestive problems for me. I often wondered why my body did not seem able to heal itself...
My search for answers led me to the Optimal Health Network, where Kristina and Dee Dee began to give me a whole different way to understand my health issues. I took a hair analysis and it was clear that I suffered from adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism. As strange as it sounds, I was greatly relieved for here was a finally diagnosis that explained both why I felt perpetually tired and dizzy and why my body was not producing natural glucocorticoids that would heal my inflammation, as well as a host of other small and irritating symptoms that had plagued me for a long time. The other good news also was that there was a natural treatment for all of this! Nine months later, I feel tremendously better and am grateful to the OHN for revolutionizing my diet and being an important part of helping me heal myself. Being a mother, I have also been able to change my family's diets and we all feel better than we have in years!
Thanks OHN,
Christine |

The Power of Cleansing and Detoxification is Profound
I was born constipated. As an infant, child, teenager and young adult, I was lucky to have 2 bowel movements per week. In my teens I suffered some minor health problems, but it wasn't until my early 20's that things really fell apart. At the age of 21, I experienced a major health crisis. My entire body shut down, and for the next 8 years, I was barely able to get out of bed, let alone move or walk. I had a myriad of other strange and serious symptoms as well, all very sudden onset.
I was eventually diagnosed (or misdiagnosed!) with severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and remained quite ill for the next 6 years. During that time I had tried many alternative therapies, however never seemed to get results. None of the practitioners I had seen had ever addressed my sluggish bowels however, so I believe that I probably wasn't absorbing the thousands of dollars of herbs, supplements, etc. that I had taken. Anyway, after much disappointment, and when I had finally decided to accept and make the most out of my current state of health, I'd heard about Colon Hydrotherapy.
As a last resort, I tried a few treatments and felt minor improvement. Knowing my history, I suspected I would need to do some very aggressive cleansing, so decided to embark on a 21 day raw diet fast in conjunction with as many colonics as were needed (my goal was to have champagne coming out of me!). I ended up doing 12 treatments, but by the 4th treatment I'd say I walked out of the clinic a completely different person. Ten years of serious health problems gone and I was even able to put on my old running shoes and go running (rather momentous for someone who was barely able to walk for so long!). I can't tell you what came out of me!
Anyway, by continuing to cleanse and detoxify regularly, and by making a few dietary and lifestyle changes, I have experienced "optimal" health since then. Colonics saved my life. The power of cleansing and detoxification is profound indeed! I greatly appreciate your response and recommendations, and again am very grateful to you for sharing your expertise! I will definitely keep in touch. Many thanks again, and blessings to you!

Thank You For Your Website!
First of all, thank you on behalf of my wife and me for your website and business services. I tumbled onto your site one day (during a search for tubing), and the more we’ve read and surfed your site the more we’ve been impressed with your knowledge of health maintenance and disease prevention. I was raised to think natural first, then medical if all else failed. Progressively over our married life (25+ yrs), my wife has come to agree and embrace natural healthcare practices. Coming from more of a medical family, she’s now challenging me in the natural area. I love it!
Since ordering your products, we've presently been on a cleansing regimen (for the past 3 weeks) with our first "series" experiences with Enema #1 (Celtic SeaSalt & Peppermint), Enema #2 (Coffee Implant), and as of this weekend Enema #3 (Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, & MSM). First, here's some feedback for you in regard to our implant experience. We found that the implant plugs are a tad too large. I purchased the one black plug w/ a round disk-like bottom – too big for even me. Jeanne patiently inserted it, but I throbbed for the first hour. Finally, we switched to the smaller black one w/ a slim bottom. Big difference for me, but there is no way I could insert even the second one into my wife. Upon childbirth of our first son she tore tissue into the rectal area.
The doc did a horrible job of stitching her back up, and it wasn’t until the birth of our second son, nearly 3 years later, that a second OBGYN found the problem and corrected the previous doctor’s mistakes. Consequently, Jeanne has suffered hemorrhoids from this during BMs and menstrual irritation. Upon giving her the implant this weekend I rigged up a make-shift plug out of a rolled up panty liner and a rubber glove finger to assist in securing the implant overnight. It worked, but it’s not my preference. Could you look into producing a smaller implant plug for women who have such issues to contend with? One that is maybe ½”- ¾” smaller in diameter than the second one I used? If you can’t, do you have a better solution than what I came up with?
Second, as we reflected upon the benefits of this technique of treatment, Jeanne asked why this couldn't be done for vaginal issues as well. So often a mere douche is not sufficient, nor is there much value being added to the process. Do you have any recipes and guideline for this type of application? The implant technique makes perfect sense to treat infections in this area, along with fibroid tumors and the like. Specific recipe implants could provide positive results. Could you address this for us in an e-mail, or are things like this in your book? We are very interested in other implant recipes and their purposeful explanations.
Lastly, does heating the Enema #3 implant solution cause any efficacy harm to the solution? Is the type of heat (gas, electric, or microwave) an issue here?
Again, our thanks for making this experience a life-giving, couple-bonding act of love.
Dan & Jeanne |

Comprehensive Plan to Change
I want to thank you for yesterday's telephone consultation. I have a series of tunes in my head this morning, and I am whistling and singing them as I begin my day. I am somewhat surprised, as last night, after my 14-hour day was over, I was exhausted. I didn't think the six hours sleep I had ahead of me would be sufficiently restful. However, I woke up with a positive, even ebullient mood. I'm excited by the decisions I made yesterday and the commitment I made to a woman I had only just met, and that by telephone.
Behind me, as you might guess, have been numerous starts and stops on eating better, getting more exercise, adjusting my lifestyle such that I could accomplish more while having time for recreation and leisure, the making and maintaining of friendships, etc., etc.
This is different. I attribute it to several factors. First, I perused many of the pages of your very large and informative website. Second, and this is somewhat scary, what you offer me is a fairly major but comprehensive plan to change and address many difficulties: weight, diabetes, fatigue, prostate enlargement, edema, dizziness... all the things that seem to be slowing me down these days. And when you told me, in all sincerity, that I am still young at age 66, I believed you. I have had the depressive and depressing symptom of believing that I am dying. I've never been suicidal, but thoughts of death have been recurrent.
Now, these first days are critical. I know that. Ironically, last night I taught a session on the brain. One of the sub-topics is how our brains serve us and how our brains sometimes lead us in directions that aren't so helpful. That led also to talking about habituation and how hard it is to break and change habits.
You are encouraging and guiding me towards more healthy habits.
I see that you have a support message board. I will join that today. And I will place my order for the products that will get me started.

Enemas Cured Anal Fissure
I am a male in my early 50s. I have had an anal fissure for at least six years and have been treating the fissure outside of conventional medicine for about two years. The fissure came gradually, likely from stress. Although examined by HMO doctors early, nothing was diagnosed. After pain and bleeding increased, I went on the web and self-diagnosed a classical anal fissure. A new private doctor confirmed my diagnosis. For about two years I used prescription cortisone creams and other ointments. Cortisone relieved pain, but cured nothing. All mineral-based ointments agitated the fissure. The slightest bit of alcohol, chocolate, or fish oil in my diet agitated the fissure. A surgeon was recommended. After two consultations, I got scared off by the prospect of surgery.
A friend recommended holistic medicine. Another friend recommended hydrotherapy. I discovered Kristina and we used a combination of nutrition, stool softeners, herbal medicine, and timely hydrotherapy with self-administered enemas to subdue the fissure. While experimenting with the enemas, I discovered that a bulb-type nozzle was an effective tool, without the enema, to apply the herbal medicine on the fissure and to massage the anus. This technique has been superb. I have retorn the fissure during defecation only twice in the last year. Except for some occasional itching, I have been free of pain and bleeding, have been able to pass occasional hard stools and have been able to drink alcohol, eat chocolate, and eliminate stool softeners. I do watch my diet, however, following the guidelines set out in Kristina’s CD book, Ten Days to Optimal Health.
Besides treating and curing the fissure, there is also a larger message here. It appears that cleansing, massage, and other natural therapies are as useful and important for the lower end of the body as they are for other more visible areas, for example as brushing one's teeth or combing one's hair.
Treatment components:
* Colon hydrotherapy and enemas. Besides the benefits of cleansing, hydrotherapy gives a person a clean rectal area and a break from defecation for about three days. Enemas allow a one- or two-day break. I initially used an enema recipe from Kristina including aloe vera and olive oil. I now use just warm water. These therapies allow the fissure some healing time. If I feel I have re-injured the fissure during defecation, I will do 2-3 enemas over the next week to avoid normal defecation.
* Stool softeners. I started with a fine fiber supplement made from flax. I have always been a fruit and vegetable eater, but added more dietary fiber. I then found flax oil capsules. One or two a day will keep the stool soft. I also took vitamin and mineral supplements. At present, I am totally off of stool softeners, but will add them back as necessary.
* Herbal paste. Kristina prescribed an herbal paste which has been the only topical treatment of the many I have tried that not only prevents fissure swelling and infection, the main cause of fissure pain, but facilitates cure and lubrication. The ingredients may vary, depending on how often you use it. I typically make enough to fill a common photo film canister. You may want to look for a better container to carry around because the canisters do leak a bit. Ingredients include 3-5 drops of liquid lavender, 4-8 drops of liquid garlic, one emptied capsule of MSM (ask Kristina what it is), and fill the remainder of the canister with a high-quality olive oil. If you do not have all of the ingredients on hand, the garlic and the olive oil may suffice for a start. You may also add a drop or two of aloe vera. During the early stages of treatment, I carried this paste with me to apply after defecation. Be advised that too much garlic or lavender in the mix or too long of an application time can cause external itching or burn the inside of the rectum, so don't overdo it.
* Enema nozzle. At one point I decided to purchase a bulb-type enema and noticed that inserting the thick, rounded, hard plastic nozzle and stretching the anal sphincter actually seemed to make the sphincter muscle feel better. I discovered that using it to apply the paste in a relaxed manned in bed offered immediate relief. The nozzle enabled me to apply the paste inside the anus where the fissure was. Dipping the nozzle in the paste and then inserting and removing it slowly several times effectively massaged the muscle. With only 10-15 minutes of this therapy once a day for just a few days, the fissure seemed to heal quickly. Muscle tone returned, the anus began to dilate properly before defecation and defecations became largely painless. I initially used a nozzle that was just under an inch in thickness. I then purchased a nozzle that was 1 1/4 inch thick with the intention of stretching and massaging the anus to the width of the widest stool.
This therapy seems to be working. I do it less often, maybe twice a week. Once the fissure surface healed and stopped hurting, I stopped using the paste. I now do the massage with K-Y jelly or a similar product. If the fissure should again cause problems, I would go back to earlier steps. The fissure surface heals much faster than the underlying muscle tear, so expect the treatment to take time.
I hope this helps a lot of people.

Helped With Eczema, Acid Reflux, and Headaches
This is a thank you for the consultation I had, back in May, concerning my eczema problem. When you first mentioned getting me on a regimen of enemas, I was somewhat dismayed over the idea. But, after listening to your sincerity about the benefits they would bring, along with vitamins and diet, I decided to give it a go.
I proceeded with the aid of your CD, "The Illustrated Guide to In-Home Colon Cleansing," which gave me the mechanics of administering an enema to one's self and learning to allow the fluid to drain into the colon at a rate of 1 to 2 cups per minute. The enemas are not what they seemed as a child growing up. (Maybe Mom was on to something and we were too young to understand it back then.)
With a few reservations, I went ahead and ordered your 3-quart enema bag. I proceeded with what I called "what the h--- good is this going to do for eczema anyway?" attitude, but after about 10 days I started noticing less itching and the sores seemed be healing faster. Now 6 weeks later, after doing clear water enemas every other day and a coffee enema once a week, the eczema itching has receded to almost nothing, and the blisters that go along with it are healing at a much faster rate.
Not only have the enemas helped the eczema, but they have helped rid me of my bouts with acid reflux, which was keeping me awake several nights per week. In addition, I must add that the headaches, backaches, and constant tired feeling I had believed to be just part of the aging process are nearly gone after six weeks of your programs of enemas and diet. My appetite has improved to where I don't crave sweets and carbohydrates as prior to the colon flushes. Now I feel like getting out and doing things.
Looking back, my biggest mistake was not continuing to repeat the enemas until my symptoms cleared. Growing up as a youngster, I cleansed 4 times a year as the seasons changed, and if I was not better, perhaps once or twice a month with 1 or 2 enemas instead of 3 or 4 each session. Although I must admit, the cool water enemas we got would bring down a fever quicker than the modern antibiotics will ever do.
So Kristina, thank you ever so much for courtesy and professionalism on the phone, and your kind and understanding way. The CD and the home enemas which you recommended to me were a godsend. Also, thanks for suggesting the 3-quart bag instead of the standard 2-quart. It saves having to add more water as I can now handle the 3 quarts quite easily. It's hard to believe what 2 or 3 quarts of warm water do for body.

Same Effect as Headstand Enema
Here is an account of some of my experiences with enemas.
Get a three- or four-legged stool about 11 inches in height and with a platform surface area big enough to kneel on. In taking your enema, lie on your left side (Simms position). After taking in all the enema solution and removing the filling tube, kneel on the stool and bend over as far as you can, hands on the floor, with the goal of touching your head to the floor.
The object is to get the upper body as vertical as possible to use gravity to get the enema solution moving from the descending colon, through the traverse colon and into the ascending colon. This is similar to the knee-chest enema-taking position but more effective because of the increased verticality. Also, it is less strenuous than trying to do a handstand or headstand to achieve the same effect. The stool also comes in handy later.
After dismounting the stool, lie on your right side for the 5-minute-or-longer period before evacuating. Normally, the peristaltic action in the sigmoid will cause cramping and moving the solution away from the sigmoid will relieve the cramping. This can be done by massage but the stool can really help here. While lying on your right side and with feet near the toilet, lift your hips up and move the stool under your right hip. At the same time, place your feet on the closed toilet lid. Your right shoulder in on the floor. Your body is basically an inclined plane. Your body's weight is supported at three points: the feet on the toilet lid, the right hip on the stool, and the right shoulder on the floor.
This may sound difficult to do, but it isn't. The effect is that the enema solution is mainly contained to the ascending colon and traverse colon. Little or no solution is the descending colon. The result is that is little or no cramping whatsoever. What little there may be is easily managed by minimal massaging of the belly from the sigmoid, in a left to right motion. Using this technique, the total experience of the enema is very enjoyable.

Suspect Taking Enemas Would Help
Your excellent videotape arrived this morning. I had only ordered it on October 26, so, given that it had to cross the border into Canada, and come through Canadian customs, this is a very quick delivery.
I just watched it this morning for the first time, and must commend you highly on it. It is very well done indeed, and your client/patient is to be greatly commended for agreeing to act as a model.
Now I have to muster my courage to show it to my wife, as a few months ago she told me she didn't think I should be giving myself enemas, as that they are something only to be given in hospitals. Further, if I continued doing so, it would come between us. We both have diverticulosis, and I suspect taking enemas would help us both. If I wasn't so far away, namely in New Brunswick, Canada, I'd make an appointment to come to see you! Again, many congratulations on making such a fine instructional video!
Best wishes,
Sincerely,
Roger |
