17:33:29 webmaster: Hello everyone and welcome to the Live Chat with Kristina Amelong for January 2006
17:34:01 webmaster: The chat will begin at 5pm Central time today
17:50:36 Lisa: Hi Everyone!
17:51:32 Mike_K: Kris do you disapprove of using baking soda in enemas?
17:51:54 kristina: Please go ahead and start your questions, comments, etc., I will be back at 5.
17:53:33 michael__b: hi - good everybody made it to 2006
17:54:40 Mike_K: I'm not sure I have yet :-)
17:55:09 Lisa: That's neat Mike! I didn't know that!
17:56:03 Mike_K: So just to start things off with. Since Kris is off for a few minutes, what is your favorite enema solution?
17:56:45 kristina: Let's start a thread on why one might use baking soda or sea salt or any other substance in their enema water. I would love to hear from others. I have not used or recommend baking soda because I have never had the opportunity to learn about why or its benefits.
17:57:59 webmaster: Good evening.
17:58:38 michael__b: kristina, that was a splendid message you left on my answering, letting me know you liked the december cd l
18:00:04 kristina: The ingredients of baking soda, sodium bicarbonate.
18:00:04 webmaster: For those of you who don't know me, I am KJ. I work for Kristina and assist her with the management of both her health center and the Optimal Health Network ECommerce business
18:00:48 webmaster: I am here to provide some technical assistance with the chatroom but am a little slow as I am new to this chat software
18:01:03 kristina: Baking soda is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. Baking soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate
18:01:47 kristina: I loved it. I have listened to it many times as I often play it while I am giving clients their colon hydrotherapy or enema treatment.
18:02:07 Mike_K: So by using baking soda in an enema solution you could possibly raise the pH factor
18:02:19 kristina: I prefer Celtic sea salt because it has a wider array of minerals.
18:02:37 michael__b: for a lighter question, kristina, have you seen the movie dersu uzala?
18:02:46 kristina: Yes, I think so. What are your thoughts on baking soda use, Mike? or sea salt?
18:03:08 Billy_The_Kid: Hi everybody
18:03:41 faith: I have been diagnosed with systemic candidiasis. When I take an enema I use three to four quarts. By the fouth enema all the feces is gone and I begin to release a jelly like mucous that smells like fish. Have you known anyone else to experience this?
18:03:55 Mike_K: It would depend on what you were trying to achieve. The average body's pH factor is about 7.3. The pH factor of baking soda is 8.0
18:04:57 kristina: I have been working with a scientist as of late. Here is what he has to say about the subject: Plain water enemas are very irritating to the membranes, and the enema should always contain at least 9 grams of salt per liter; twice that concentration is more stimulating to peristalsis.
18:05:01 Lisa: I'm glad we are on the baking soda topic, because I've often wondered about it myself. I never tried baking soda, but heard that it's very common for using it in enemas.
18:05:20 kristina: Of course, we are talking about a high-quality sea salt.
18:05:32 kristina: No, I have not seen the movie. Tell us about it.
18:06:06 kristina: Hi Faith, welcome to the chat.
18:06:31 Billy_The_Kid: I have used baking soda for years and have had no problems. I use Kristina's Celtic
18:06:38 Mike_K: The benefit of high-quality salt, especially the Celtic sea salt, is that it contains necessary minerals the body can use
18:06:40 Billy_The_Kid: Salt more often now
18:06:49 kristina: Yes, once you empty out the colon of the feces, it is not uncommon to pull out a mucous layer. I have not heard about the smell you mention from other folks.
18:07:43 kristina: Did folks receive the newsletter? Any comments or questions about it?
18:08:05 Billy_The_Kid: I have not received it
18:08:06 kristina: What other things are you doing, Faith, to deal with the systemic candidiasis?
18:08:23 kristina: Billy the kid, are you signed up to receive the newsletter?
18:08:25 Mike_K: When I have had mucus it has a slight fish, smell not very strong
18:08:37 Billy_The_Kid: as far as I know, yes
18:09:00 kristina: I will check my messages over the night, Lisa.
18:09:38 Darvis: Hi all I finally got on
18:09:51 kristina: Welcome, Darvis!
18:10:21 kristina: And, welcome to the rest of you - Mike, Lisa, Carl, drray and michael_b
18:10:22 webmaster: Some newsletters we send out bounce back because mail servers think they are spam
18:10:28 Darvis: Thank you Kristina...
18:10:37 faith: I have tried several protocols that have not worked. I am thinking about contacting you and doing the Vit Ra Tox cleansing and maybe getting a series of colonics or whatever else you may suggest.
18:10:39 kristina: Did the rest of you receive a newsletter?
18:10:55 Darvis: You have been so helpful...yes I did
18:10:56 kristina: Faith, what symptoms do you experience?
18:10:56 webmaster: You can prevent that from happening by adding www.optimalhealthnetwork.com to your "whitelist"
18:11:12 kristina: Darvis, might you tell the rest of the chat how I have been helpful?
18:11:59 webmaster: If you did not receive a newletter and think you should have, please email me and I can look up your subscription to see what the problem might be
18:12:00 Lisa: Yes, I got the newsletter, and am very glad you went along with my suggestion about the information on cancer
18:12:10 Darvis: The information by way of answering questions and the quick turnaround on the products I have ordered
18:12:22 kristina: I am glad, Lisa. Was the information useful to you?
18:13:10 kristina: This is a good time to say a few words about Lisa. Lisa is the moderator of the message boards.
18:13:14 Lisa: Very useful Kris. Thank you!
18:13:38 faith: Severe fatigue, numerous yeast infections, body odor which is my major concern. The doctor that diagnosed said the odor stemmed from the candidiasis. I actually have just about every symptom someone with candidiasis would have. Can't remember a thing.
18:13:42 kristina: She puts in many hours so all of us can have a place of integrity to discuss colon cleansing, colon hydrotherapy and enemas.
18:13:50 kristina: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
18:13:57 Darvis: Kristina, the only question I have is using the Higginson.....It seems like the bulb is much slower than your video of allowing 1/2 cup to one cup .....in at a time...and Liss good luck on your extraction tomorrow...You are a dear
18:14:17 Lisa: Thank you for the kind words Kris!
18:14:18 kristina: Without Lisa, our message boards would absolutely not be what they are today. Do check them out if you do not already.
18:15:35 Darvis: Lisa spends many hours and without her it would be very boring
18:16:02 Lisa: So sweet! Thank you!
18:16:11 Billy_The_Kid: Recent posts on the Board have made me very grateful that we have someone monitoring it
18:16:43 Darvis: so true....and we don't need the ones who are into other types of behavior
18:16:54 kristina: Yes, you can heal fully, Faith. There is much work to do with how you eat each day. For instance, in order to recover your body from an overgrowth of candidiasis you will need to eat no refined sugar products. How do you do with eating sugar? How I make it easier is by asking you to eat well for 10 days at a time. After those 10 days, we re-evaluate your program. I bet you can do a really hard lifestyle change for 10 days, yeah?
18:17:04 Lisa: But, how can enemas ever be boring? Lol!
18:17:31 Darvis: They can't....and yes.......a smile and sense of humor helps
18:17:50 kristina: Lisa, for those of us who don't know what is happening in your life tomorrow, why don't you tell us so you can take us all with you?
18:18:14 michael__b: its a russian-japanese collaboration, taking place in siberia around 1905, and really filmed there, by akira kurosawa, a total escape. I'll send you a copy - show it to everyone.
18:18:47 kristina: The Higginson Syringe is a different product than our Smooth Flow Syringe and Hose System,
which is what I feature in the movie.
18:19:30 Darvis: I believe I ordered the smooth flow from you
18:19:32 kristina: The quality is much higher of the smooth flow and does move more water more easily into the colon. Also, it is possible to have a blockage in the colon that is causing the slow flow. Does it happen everytime?
18:19:37 Lisa: Off the enema topic, I have a very bad broken tooth, and I'm getting it extracted tomorrow. I an so nervous, I feel sick to my stomach!
18:20:10 Darvis: No, not every time, Kristina.....just sometimes........
18:20:21 kristina: Thanks, Michael. I look forward to seeing it.
18:20:31 webmaster: there is also a silicone smooth flow
18:20:50 faith: I definitely can do that. Before I was diagnosed I knew that what was going on with me had to do with my diet. I could eat a cake for dinner and was always constipated. I did a thirty day fast of vegetable and fruit juice. I think I can't drink fruit juices.
18:21:02 kristina: The issue might be how high you have your bag up in the air?
18:21:07 Darvis: Lisa....you will be just fine and we are with you .......I promise
18:21:23 Darvis: Thank you...I will lower it....next time......
18:21:38 Lisa: Thank you Darvis! That means a great deal to me!
18:22:06 kristina: If it happens just sometimes you might want to clear out the lower colon first, using a small volume enema.
18:22:20 Darvis: Tomorrow...you will say ....you know what it wasn't that bad...just like your first enema
18:22:20 kristina: Then, follow up using your bag and smooth flow.
18:22:38 kristina: The higher the bag, the fast the flow of water.
18:22:52 kristina: What time are you having the procedure?
18:22:53 Billy_The_Kid: Lisa, please don't be nervous! Extractions are nowhere near as bad as they once were.
18:22:58 Darvis: Kristina...I will do that.....thank you so much.....perhaps that was the problem
18:23:14 Mike_K: You will never get a fast flow from a flow syringe because of the size of the backflow valves. They are very small. Also do not use any enema solution that has particles in it. As they can possibly block the valve open.
18:23:50 Lisa: Good news! I've been using enemas for two years regularly, and almost no headaches. Headaches used to be a big problem for me. Thanks to Kristina for getting me into enemas/colonics. I feel so much better!
18:24:20 Darvis: Mike...I don't when I use this.....just a good salt water or baking soda solution
18:24:21 kristina: Faith, back to you, have you tried giving up sugar and improving your diet? Cleansing never works to clear out a candida albicans overgrowth. One must really create a new inner ecosystem within the digestive tract, which can only be done with nutrition, lifestyle changes, colon cleansing and supplementation.
18:24:43 Lisa: But, I don't really understand why enemas help headaches.
18:24:46 kristina: Thanks, Mike.
18:25:01 Mike_K: You're welcome
18:25:46 Darvis: You all are going to give me an idea to take my series of enemas tonight........after American Idol
18:26:00 Billy_The_Kid: Enemas cause a release of tension which is a very common cause of headaches
18:26:42 Lisa: Oh yes! Americain Idol! Can't wait!!! Nice to have something fun to watch before my terrible day tomorrow!
18:27:17 Mike_K: Lisa, it's not going to be terrible - just like taking an enema - relax and breathe deeply
18:27:27 kristina: Headaches are also caused by a toxic body.
18:27:33 faith: I can and have given up sugar while on the different protols which each lasted three months, but after not getting any better and getting therefore getting depressed, I have resorted back to the foods that give me comfort.
18:27:33 Billy_The_Kid: Lisa, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A TERRIBLE DAY TOMORROW
18:27:38 Darvis: I know.....I laughed so much at some ot those people last night.....a good thing I wasn't holding my enema in
18:27:42 kristina: Colon cleansing pulls toxins out of the body.
18:28:12 kristina: Irrigation of the entire colon only came into prominence during the late 19th century, when Russian microbiologist Ilya Ilich Mechnikov first described the concept of "autointoxication." He argued that the body could actually poison itself as the toxins from fecal matter were absorbed through the lining of the large intestine and into the bloodstream.
18:28:22 Mike_K: And a coffee enema will pull toxins out of the liver
18:28:48 Lisa: No, don't hold an enema during Americain Idol! Lol!
18:29:05 Darvis: LOL *)
18:29:19 Mike_K: He could if he used a plug
18:29:40 Darvis: so true............
18:29:49 kristina: Faith, that is very understandable. I too have had to continue my search for health even though I followed many nutritional programs with great diligence. It sounds as if hormonal imbalances are making it harder to heal. Do you know if you have low thyroid or adrenal function?
18:30:04 kristina: Or, do you know if you are estrogen dominant?
18:31:05 kristina: More on the history of colon cleansing:
18:31:07 kristina: In the United States, this theory was espoused by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (founder of the breakfast cereal company), who frequently lectured about autointoxication at his huge natural medicine clinic in Battle Creek, Michigan. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thousands flocked to Kellogg's "sanitarium" to enjoy the guru's health and fitness regimes, which included not only colonic irrigation and dunks in electrified water pools, but also aerobic exercise
18:31:29 Darvis: Bye everyone......have to go.......Lisa good luck and let us know how you did.......we love you. Thank you Kristina
18:31:43 kristina: In an article enticingly entitled "Should the Colon Be Sacrificed or May It Be Reformed?" which appeared in the 1917 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Kellogg reported his success in using colon therapy (along with diet and exercise) to prevent surgery in all but 20 of the 40,000 gastrointestinal patients he had treated at his "sanitarium." The article created a wave of enthusiasm among conventional physicians, and for the next three decades various devices for colon irrigation became a common sight in the offices of many MDs, as well as in hospitals and nursing homes. Among the ailments for which doctors typically recommended colon therapy were high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, and depression.
18:32:02 kristina: Colon therapy flourished until the 1940s, when scientific articles began to argue that there was little evidence to support the idea of autointoxication and to suggest laxatives as a far easier option. It didn't take long for the irrigation devices to disappear from doctors' offices, but the therapy was far from forgotten. It continued to be popular with chiropractors and naturopaths, who firmly believed in the benefits of what they now preferred to call "detoxification."
18:32:23 kristina: Bye, Darvis.
18:32:51 kristina: Michael, can you try your question again? I am not sure I understand what you are asking.
18:33:34 faith: Very very very much so. It took seventeen years for doctors to give me the right diagnosis, with my goiter growing so large that my thyroid had to be removed in December 2004. I am still not on the correct synthroid dosage.
18:34:18 Lisa: Darvis, and everyone. I will post a message on the board tomorrow about how it went. Thanks for all the love!
18:35:02 webmaster: Billy, since I was checking and found you are not in the newsletter subscription list, I added you to it so you don't need to do anything more. You will receive the newsletter within 24 hours.
18:35:22 Billy_The_Kid: Many thanks
18:35:45 webmaster: ur welcome
18:36:12 Lisa: Oh goody! DRUGS!
18:36:33 kristina: Aw, honey, that is hard. I am sorry that your thyroid issues went undiagnosed for such a long time.
18:37:41 michael__b: vitamin depletion? or sudden lack of stored food, if that's the correct term, would change how one feels?
18:37:54 Lisa: 17 years! Wow! What took then so long?!
18:38:27 Billy_The_Kid: Kristina, there have been recent posts on the board as to 750 and 500 retention nozzles
18:38:28 kristina: What follows are some of my thoughts for you on health and hormones:
18:38:51 kristina: Let’s start with the digestive tract and work our way through the body and see what happens. If our digestion is working well, meaning that our intestinal peristalsis is working at all times, we create speed of digestion that is crucial. Why? Because any slowing down or stasis (stopping of the gut) creates bacterial growth and endotoxins and these may work their way into our circulation. This is disastrous and a cause of lots of problems, not only in the digestive system but also in any part of the body that cannot deal with endotoxins.
18:39:08 kristina: We continue on with speed. The liver must work at a speed that keeps up with detox as well as manufacture and storage of vital nutrients. Without this our liver is toxic and malfunctioning. A huge role of the liver is to convert T4 to T3 and breakdown all used hormones. Speed pertains to cellular functions as well. We need a speedy circulation that brings the nutrients to cells so that the cells can utilize O2 and glucose quickly to make good energy all the time as well as reject toxins from the cells. The cells must also repair in a speedy fashion. This is true of beta oxidation of fats and the creation of energy through the citric acid cyle.
18:39:13 Billy_The_Kid: being too big, is there any chance in the near future you would stock 250 maybe?
18:39:25 kristina: So we get back to the liver where we detox the endotoxins and we pass them through an efficient gut to the colon where they are delivered into the toilet. This is true for the kidneys and the skin and lungs as well. So how do we keep a speedy metabolism? Well, we need to look at our hormones as they are in charge of speed. The thyroid is in charge of the speed that we convert nutrients to energy and the heat that is released as result. Without adequate T3 our metabolism slows down, our gut slows down and our detox pathways slow down
18:39:41 kristina: Oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose speed up our metabolism. Sunshine speeds up our metabolism. Pregnenolone and progesterone as well as DHEA are in charge of speed. Each of these steroid hormones help our body be more efficient, but we will talk about these later
18:40:03 kristina: What slows down our efficiency and speed are estrogen, cortisol, adrenalin, unsaturated fatty acids and lactic acid. Estrogen causes hypoxia in the cells which is a lack of O2 and causes edema which causes us to hold onto fluids. This causes inflammation and impedes circulation to the area. Cortisol and adrenalin cause an initial speeding up because these steroid hormones raise blood sugar. But the result of too much cortisol and adrenaline is that the cells release fatty acids and amino acids to make into glucose to raise blood sugar and these nutrients impede a free flow of energy. It is very labor intensive to make glucose from amino acids and fatty acids, which slow us down. Also fatty acids cause lots of oxidation which is damaging to our body. Amino acids are needed for repair not energy. So raising blood sugar in this way is counterproductive and dangerous.
18:40:31 kristina: Lactic acid is a by product of O2 and is created when there is too much estrogen and or exercise or alcohol. These are three baddies that we should avoid. So how do we measure speed in the body. Subjectively we feel really good, solid, and not upset. Not anxiety and tension and nice smooth energy. We have excellent digestion and concentration. We do not rely on uppers or coffee to keep us going. Our hair mineral analysis results show speedy progress as we eliminate toxins and our basal temps are between 98.2 and 98.6 and higher. Our teeth do not accumulate toxins and tartar and we get over infections quickly.
18:40:48 kristina: Our weight is normal not too skinny and too fat. When one starts normalizing speed weight gain can be a side effect as we need to keep our blood sugar very even and this can cause us to consume more calories than we need for a period of time. That is it for today. I will keep adding to this info.
