Hi there |
| 17:55:14 |
kristina |
Hello! |
| 17:55:42 |
billythekid |
Nice to back on the chat after a long tax season |
| 17:56:10 |
kristina |
Are you a tax accountant? |
| 17:56:43 |
billythekid |
Yes, I specialize in individual returns |
| 17:57:10 |
michael b |
a most wonderful spring to all |

Hi Lisa |
| 17:59:56 |
Lisa |
I'm just here to say a quick hello to everyone. I have a student coming soon so I can't stay. I'm leaving tomorrow for Padre Island for a much needed vacation on the beach!! |
| 18:00:21 |
billythekid |
Have a good time! |
| 18:00:24 |
michael b |
kristina, looks like you are as busy as ever - any new neat stuff? |
| 18:00:37 |
Lisa |
Thanks Billy! |
| 18:01:29 |
kristina |
Yes, do have an excellent trip, Lisa. And, thanks for saying hello. |
| 18:01:47 |
kristina |
We have many new things brewing! |
| 18:02:00 |
kristina |
We will soon be launching a new enemabag.com |
| 18:02:01 |
Lisa |
You're welcome! I wish I could stay longer! |
| 18:03:15 |
kristina |
This new enema-related site will be much easier to navigate, will be more beautiful, full of very useful enema-related information -- how to take a coffee enema, how to clean your enema equipment, an enema equipment buying guide, and more. |
| 18:03:35 |
kristina |
And, we will also be launching a new optimalhealthnetwork.com. |
| 18:04:01 |
kristina |
On Friday I will be spending the day taking new pictures of our entire colon cleansing stock! |
| 18:04:33 |
kristina |
Can anyone give me a report on the new silicone colon tube? |
| 18:04:58 |
kristina |
We also have a number of new enema bag systems with a free DVD: "All About Enemas" |
| 18:05:53 |
kristina |
I was just in Seattle at a Re-Evaluation Counseling Intensive for a week, and then I spent the weekend on the Olympic Pennisula. |
| 18:06:16 |
kristina |
Please do email me about that one, Mike. Okay? |
| 18:06:45 |
kristina |
Seattle and the surrounding area is sure a spectacular place to be. |
| 18:06:55 |
Mike K |
Just teasing :-) |
| 18:08:30 |
Lisa |
I'm sorry - you'll have one less person here, but I have to go. I hope more people will join in! I was in Seattle in March and it's one of the most beautiful in the country! |
| 18:09:00 |
kristina |
Before I forget, I want to remind folks that starting in June, the Live Chat will be held at 8 pm CST. I am hoping this will work better for all those who wish to be involved. |
| 18:09:14 |
kristina |
Welcome, Joseph. |
| 18:09:29 |
Lisa |
I plan on being at the chat next month if you really are starting the chat at 8pm. Bye for now! |
| 18:09:31 |
Joseph |
Thank you. hello kris |
| 18:09:38 |
billythekid |
I am sure it will be more active. |
| 18:10:11 |
kristina |
Hello. |
| 18:11:21 |
kristina |
I recently received the following note from a customer. It is so inspiring that I wanted to share it with all of you tonight: "It has been almost four months since I first tried the enema series you folks suggested. The intestinal gas pains have gone completely and regularity has returned. I just thought you might like to hear that it worked for me even though some folks thought I was a little kooky." |
| 18:12:57 |
Mike K |
Anybody have any comment about a picture area in the forum showing equipment and such? |
| 18:13:47 |
kristina |
This leads into a thread that I would like to start on this chat, the colon health forum, and future chats: Do you all share your "health secrets" with those around you in order to assist them to improve their own health? Do you have any stories where you assisted someone else to improve their health using colon cleansing or dietary changes? Do you have a person in mind who you know would benefit from these ideas, but you feel too shy to encourage them along the lines of enemas, colon implants, coffee enemas, raw dairy, staying away from grains, and the like? |
| 18:13:48 |
billythekid |
I would have no problem with it at all. |
| 18:15:46 |
michael b |
i bought a new silicone tube, but i am really busy getting my ducks in a row, so i will get back to you. there is no way i can start to explain the loss of stress. |
| 18:15:47 |
Mike K |
I have loaned two of your CDs to six different people |
| 18:16:38 |
kristina |
Thank you, Mike. What did they have to say afterwards? |
| 18:16:58 |
michael b |
from this job. |
| 18:17:40 |
Mike K |
two of them were very embarrassed about talking about bowel problems |
| 18:17:54 |
kristina |
Michael, I know just what you are talking about. Living a life without taking on all the external stressors is a much better place to live in than when we let the day-to-day challenges get to us. The work I did in Seattle really helped me shifted my perspective. |
| 18:18:08 |
Mike K |
and two of them didn't say much at all, and the other two still have the CDs |
| 18:20:17 |
kristina |
For instance, I hadn't realized how much I let the challenges that my business has been going through pull up the early trauma in my life. Now, instead of vibrating at "This is so HARD!" I can take the perspective that all businesses go through challenges and I have the rest of my life to handle this, and things will work out because I am absolutely brilliant, talented, and hard-working to boot! |
| 18:20:23 |
kristina |
What have you been going through? |
| 18:20:33 |
Mike K |
Kristina, did you know that the Klystra douche bulb with the two nozzles makes a good sinus irrigation syringe? |
| 18:20:57 |
kristina |
No, I did not. How do you know? |
| 18:21:09 |
Mike K |
I use one |
| 18:21:48 |
kristina |
Did the 6 people you lent the movies to have bowel-related problems? What made you think to lend the movies to begin with? |
| 18:22:10 |
kristina |
Do you have sinus problems? What solution do you use in the sinuses? |
| 18:22:24 |
kristina |
How often do you take the sinus irrigations? |
| 18:22:57 |
Mike K |
They are husband and wife - one was having bowel troubles and the other one saw one of my websites that I was working on |
| 18:23:05 |
kristina |
Another enema-related testimonial: |
| 18:23:07 |
kristina |
"I just wanted leave a comment. Anyone who has ever wasted their time, health, and little money on cheap drug store enema bags.. STOP! The products sold here are truly professional and top-of-the-line. I wish I had found this website years ago. Taking an enema with these bags, tubes, and soaps can really be relaxing and satisfying. I never thought I would feel this way about an enema. This website is so wonderful. Thank you -- $50, $60, $70 so well spent. I will be a customer for life!" |
| 18:23:52 |
Mike K |
it really depends on how bad the allergy season is |
| 18:24:01 |
kristina |
Okay, here is another topic: |
| 18:24:26 |
kristina |
This is from an email that I recently sent to one of the health practitioners that I have been studying with: |
| 18:24:33 |
kristina |
"For the past number of months, I have been struggling with lots of numbness and tingling which starts when I am sleeping or sitting but doesn’t go away." |
| 18:24:42 |
kristina |
And here is what I learned: |
| 18:25:06 |
kristina |
those signs are common in hypothyroidism |
| 18:25:35 |
kristina |
So I increased my Armour Thyroid, and the numbness and tingling in my arms and legs went away! |
| 18:26:06 |
kristina |
Here are a few scientific articles that back this up: |
| 18:26:38 |
kristina |
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1975 Mar;38(3):241-7. Myxoedematous polyneuropathy: a light and electron microscopic study of the peripheral nerve and muscle. Shirabe T, Tawara S, Terao A, Araki S. Histopathological findings of biopsied peripheral nerve and muscle were studied in a case with myxoedematous polyneuropathy. The most striking findings in the sural nerve were segmental demyelination and onion bulb formation with scanty mucinous deposits in addition to marked loss of large myelinated nerve fibres. The peroneus brevis muscle revealed the association of neuropathic and myopathic changes. It is suggested that myxoedematous polyneuropathy might be intrinsic neuropathy due to metabolic disorder of Schwann cells related to hypothyroidism, resulting in segmental demyelination, not merely compressive neuropathy due to mucinous deposits in the peripheral nerves. |

Did you know that a goat herder is called a capriculturist? |
| 18:27:05 |
kristina |
Minerva Med. 1983 Feb 11;74(5):165-72. [Hypothyroid neuropathy. Description 2 cases] [Article in Italian] Zampollo A, Cristofori E, Zacchetti O, Spreafico A. Although neurological complications of hypothyroidism are well recognized, scanty data, to the best of our knowledge, are available about peripheral neuropathies in this condition. The electrographic studies so far performed are nearly all devoted to the well known association myxoedema-carpal tunnel syndrome. Our data concern two patients affected by neuropathy in hypothyroidism, presenting diffuse anomalies of electrographic parameters (motor and sensitive nerve conduction velocity, F-wave, H-reflex, H-index); and, in one of these cases, a marked segmental demyelination and axonal degenerations were disclosed by pathological examination of sural nerve (according to Dyck and Lambert, 1970; Shirabe and coll., 1975). |

No, I did not. That is fun. I will let my husband, Farmer Tim, the goat farmer know. |

Deficiency of thyroid hormone during central nervous system ontogeny results in a variety of clinical, anatomical and biochemical defects. Delay in thyroxine therapy in newborns with congenital hypothyroidism leads to irreversible brain damage. We have used localized in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess biochemical changes in different regions of brain in three patients with congenital hypothyroidism before and after thyroxine therapy. An abnormal lipid peak which disappeared with thyroxine therapy was observed in cerebellum and frontal lobe in one patient. Statistically significant reduction of NAA/(Cr+PCr) [P |

Goat ranchers etc are called capriculturists |
| 18:28:33 |

Mike, you were a goat farmer as a kid, yeah? |
| 18:29:43 |

I was wondering if there is a good enema solution for a stomach ache? |
| 18:34:44 |
kristina |
I do plan to make another enema movie in the next while. Here are some excerpts: |
| 18:34:47 |
billythekid |
Thank you. Have you ever been asked about Restless Leg Syndrome in your practice of healing things with colon therapy and enemas? |
| 18:35:07 |
kristina |
Short Film: High Enema Scene: KA standing in front of the treatment room door with chart behind for reference: "Hello, my name is Kristina Amelong and I am a nationally certified colon therapist. Today I’m going to show you how to take a high enema." KA points to chart: "This is the colon. It is approximately 5 feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Typically an enema flushes only the lower portion of the colon, usually from the rectum through sigmoid colon. With a high enema we are going to move about 1 gallon of water all the way over to the ascending colon. This will approximate what happens when you have a colonic. I recommend at least using a 1-gallon enema bag and either a balloon nozzle like this or a colon tube. The colon tube (referring to the chart) if inserted will end here and inject water starting here, keeping pressure off the rectum until the whole colon is filled. This allows taking more water. Care needs to be used with this tube. |
| 18:35:26 |
kristina |
Hello, Carol. I am so glad that you have joined us. I was missing you! |
| 18:36:10 |
Carol45 |
Just got home from work and then AGONIZED thru a Java upload. I've been missing all of you! |
| 18:36:14 |
billythekid |
Hi Carol |
| 18:36:32 |
kristina |
Yes, I have worked with Restless Leg Syndrome many times. The first place to start is with magnesium supplementation. |
| 18:36:47 |
kristina |
Thanks for making it happen, Carol. |
| 18:37:06 |
kristina |
Joseph, |
| 18:37:46 |
kristina |
Often a stomach ache is really a colon ache, so a water and salt enema can often ameliorate the symptoms. |
| 18:37:57 |
kristina |
Are you having a stomach ache now? |
| 18:38:08 |
kristina |
Do you have any idea why? |
| 18:38:26 |
kristina |
If I can get more information, I am more able to offer a personal solution that will work well. |
| 18:38:43 |
kristina |
Sorry, but I have to pee....I will be right back. |
| 18:39:39 |
Carol45 |
I don't see the beginning of the Chat - but have heard that Vitamin E helps with leg cramps. Sorry if I'm going over already covered territory. |
| 18:40:14 |
kristina |
too much goat's milk before the chat! |
| 18:40:29 |
Joseph |
I've had a stomach ache for 2 days |
| 18:40:35 |
michael b |
being still slow on downloading, is there any chance the small and large enema might show up on a dvd? i like bokara rug on the large volume. |
| 18:40:45 |
billythekid |
Restless leg syndrome is not really a cramping thing. It is more like a spastic. |
| 18:40:49 |
Joseph |
yeah, i think I ate something Monday evening |
| 18:40:56 |
Joseph |
hello Carol |
| 18:41:02 |
kristina |
No, you aren't Carol. Vitamin E can be an important resource for the body when dealing with leg cramps. When do the leg cramps happen and what is there frequency and intensity? |
| 18:41:22 |
billythekid |
jumping. There is no pain associated with it. |
| 18:41:24 |
kristina |
Have you tried an enema series yet, Joseph? |
| 18:41:37 |
Joseph |
I haven't yet kris |
| 18:41:50 |
Joseph |
(sorry - someone rang doorbell) |
| 18:42:04 |
kristina |
Yes, once we make this last movie, we will offer the set on a DVD. Thanks for encouraging that, Mike. |
| 18:42:26 |
Joseph |
Thank you, I might try a simple salt water solution |
| 18:43:24 |
Mike K |
Joseph, that's what i do when I get one |
| 18:43:24 |
kristina |
Yes, that is what I would do, Joseph. Also, if you could drink a little mixture of baking soda and salt, that could be helpful, too. One cup of water to 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a dash of sea salt. |
| 18:43:34 |
kristina |
You might also add the peppermint to the enema solution. |
| 18:44:08 |
billythekid |
The best remedy for leg cramps that I have ever found is quinine sulfate. Unfortunately they are taking it off the market and replacing it with something else. |
| 18:44:20 |
kristina |
Can you describe to me in more detail how you experience the Restless Leg Syndrome? |
| 18:44:50 |
Joseph |
wow, that's great - I have all those items, of course from your store, kris :) |
| 18:46:53 |
billythekid |
Yes, the calf muscle begins to react as if something was "tickleing" the bottom of my feet. It is impossible to prevent the leg or legs from "jumping."
I have had this problem for years. It is very intermittent and unpredictable. |
| 18:48:01 |
billythekid |
It is very uncomfortable, only happens at night and will kill a good night's sleep. |
| 18:48:34 |
gary |
Hi everyone |
| 18:48:35 |
kristina |
a year after ordering a halt to the marketing of over-the-counter (OTC) quinine sulfate for night leg cramps based on its serious risks, the FDA ordered a stop to the marketing of prescription quinine for this use because even under a doctor's care, its risks outweigh any possible benefits. |
| 18:49:01 |
kristina |
It does work, but magnesium, proper diet, and regular streching also work wonders. |
| 18:49:02 |
billythekid |
There does not seem to be any "pattern" to the times that I suffer from it. |
| 18:49:26 |
kristina |
How often? |
| 18:49:35 |
kristina |
Hi Gary! Welcome. |
| 18:49:35 |
gary |
I get a lot of cramping in my hands. |
| 18:50:01 |
Joseph |
Yoga is great for the legs |
| 18:50:37 |
kristina |
Gary, you might also benefit from magnesium. How often do you get cramps in the hands? What do you do with your hands day-to-day? |
| 18:50:52 |
gary |
I guess this is caused by the same thing that causes leg cramps? |
| 18:51:16 |
billythekid |
Again, very intermittent. I may go several months and not suffer any "attacks" and then again it might hit me every night for 2 or 3 in a row. |
| 18:51:22 |
gary |
A lot of computer mouse work. And electrical wiring. |
| 18:51:42 |
michael b |
billy, i just have to ask you, do you know what john gotti's nickname in prison was? mr. gotti, sir. |
| 18:51:46 |
kristina |
Another reminder: Optimal Health Network's Live Chat will move to 8 p.m. Central Standard Time as of June 12th. |
| 18:52:15 |
gary |
Ever think of having the chat twice a month? |
| 18:52:41 |
kristina |
Billy, what I would do is as soon as it hits, take roughly 600 milligrams of magnesium citrate. If it continues, breathe into a paper bag for 30-60 minutes. |
| 18:53:31 |
billythekid |
Thank you. I will try it. |
| 18:53:52 |
kristina |
If it still continues, take roughly 200 mg of magnesium citrate every 1-3 hours. I bet it will pass more quickly. You might also just add 400 mg of magnesium citrate to your daily protocol for a bit. |
| 18:54:28 |
gary |
I take it the magnesium citrate is for the cramps? I never heard of using that. I will try it. |
| 18:54:51 |
kristina |
I have thought of having the chat more than once a month, if not weekly or daily. Once I resolve my infrastructure issues, I would like to head towards that. Please do bring it up again. |
| 18:55:20 |
Joseph |
that sounds wonderful |
| 18:55:22 |
gary |
I have been trying to get here for the past year, and always miss the timing. |
| 18:55:25 |
gary |
This is my first time. |
| 18:55:31 |
kristina |
Yes, the muscles need magnesium in order to relax properly. |
| 18:55:36 |
gary |
Seattle time here |
| 18:55:53 |
gary |
What about eating a lot of bananas? |
| 18:55:55 |
kristina |
I am just back from Seattle. Lovely city! |
| 18:56:09 |
gary |
Weather here today is spectacular |
| 18:56:15 |
kristina |
Bananas tend to be constipating at large doses and are high in potassium and not magnesium. |
| 18:56:19 |
Mike K |
Gary, it would be 6pm |
| 18:56:35 |
gary |
It's 4 here now. |
| 18:56:37 |
kristina |
Yes, 6pm for the live chat next month, Seattle time. |
| 18:56:50 |
gary |
What day next month? |
| 18:57:13 |
Mike K |
Kris, I will make the change in the forum |
| 18:57:34 |
kristina |
Well, I am going to close down the live chat now. Thanks everyone for joining me. I always feel so honored that you spend an hour of your month hanging out with me. Have a great rest of your month and hopefully I will hear from you all in between times. Bye for now! |
| 18:57:43 |
kristina |
Always the second Wednesday of the month. |
| 18:57:47 |
michael b |
kristina, magnesium citrate is an over the counter available in 200 mgs. |
| 18:57:49 |
gary |
bye |
| 18:57:52 |
Joseph |
Thank you, and be well all! |
| 18:57:53 |
gary |
bye |
| 18:58:38 |
kristina |
Yes, you can get it over the counter. Just make sure that the fillers and expedients aren't harmful to the body that they use in the capsule or tablet. |
| 19:00:02 |
michael b |
kristina, you read sheet music - of course you do. more later. |
| 19:00:14 |
Carol45 |
My computer froze up and I had to reboot - of all nights for it to act up! Sorry I missed out!!! |
| 19:01:55 |

no reports on the square egg machine? |
| 19:01:58 |
kristina |
Bye, Carol! |
| 19:02:00 |
Carol45 |
I'm not seeing any messages, and my panel is very slow. Everyone have a good evening and great month! |
| 19:02:48 |
kristina |
We had a blast using the square egg machine. Thank you so very much, Michael. And, we have used many of the pairs of gloves. It most definitely makes life better to have many pair of gloves around. Thank you! |
| 19:03:02 |
kristina |
We will post the chat in the next while for all to read! |
