Jay J |
Well this is my first chat - what is the protocol? |
| 20:02:44 |
Dave |
Kristina invites questions, may bring up a topic herself. |
| 20:02:52 |
kristina |
Welcome. Please begin with your questions or comments. |
| 20:03:17 |
Jay J |
Can a person get addicted to enemas? |
| 20:03:49 |
kristina |
Yes and no. Can you be more specific? |
| 20:04:19 |
Jay J |
Say, every day have one |
| 20:04:20 |
TomE |
How's the new 4 qt stainless enema bucket working out? |
| 20:05:40 |
kristina |
Everyday use is not a sign of an addiction. more info on safely using enemas |
| 20:06:19 |
Jay J |
Good, I will follow up on that. Thanks. |
| 20:06:33 |
kristina |
People love the 4 qt stainless steel buckets. They're sturdy, well-made, and locally manufactured. |
| 20:09:55 |
TomE |
Is there a difference in sea salt qualities? |
| 20:10:53 |
Jay J |
All I know is that some brands offer two types: a fine and a coarse. |
| 20:11:19 |
TomE |
Is 1 tbsp per quart the right amount? |
| 20:11:21 |
kristina |
That is a good question. Certainly the manufacturers of the products say that there is. I have found that Celtic Sea salt works well and it doesn't irritate the colon at all, which isn't true about other salt brands. |
| 20:12:09 |
michael b |
Kristina, a most happy August to you and the rest of the fellow chatters. |
| 20:12:45 |
Jay J |
Which has a better calming effect - peppermint oil or lavender oil? |
| 20:13:00 |
kristina |
Both the fine and the coarse will dissolve equally well in warm water. |
| 20:13:29 |
kristina |
October, yikes! |
| 20:13:52 |
Dave |
Snow time for Madison! |
| 20:14:20 |
Carl E |
What could be possible reasons for not being able to take more than a 2 or 3 cup enema? |
| 20:14:32 |
TomE |
Snow time in Iowa as well |
| 20:14:33 |
kristina |
Yeah, it actually snowed last Saturday, but it all melted quickly |
| 20:14:58 |
kristina |
Lavender has a better calming effect. |
| 20:15:05 |
TomE |
do you use warm water? |
| 20:15:34 |
kristina |
Yes, always. |
| 20:15:39 |
Jay J |
Are there any remedies that are targeted for type II diabetics? |
| 20:16:57 |
TomE |
2 or 3 cups is a very small amount. have you ever tried the flowmaster system? |
| 20:17:11 |
kristina |
how to take enemas |
| 20:18:15 |
Carl E |
No. I was thinking of trying the 750ML double balloon nozzle. Would the flowmaster system be better? |
| 20:18:27 |
TomE |
OHN has a very good DVD on it as well |
| 20:18:29 |
kristina |
This [downloadable booklet] information, along with our two downloadable videos, Small and Large Volume Enemas, give the most in-depth picture on taking 2-4 quarts of enema solution into the colon. |
| 20:18:55 |
kristina |
do you take the water in slowly, even as slowly as 1/4 cup every minute or so? |
| 20:19:02 |
kristina |
Adding sea salt often helps. |
| 20:19:36 |
Carl E |
I think even slower than that. |
| 20:19:56 |
TomE |
the flowmaster allows slow control pressure and flow to all slow filling. the nozzle can be any type |
| 20:20:12 |
Carl E |
I have used Celtic sea salt too. Same results. |
| 20:20:13 |
Dave |
Taking it too fast may be the volume problem. Some of us had to learn to slow down. |
| 20:20:16 |
kristina |
Yes, the Flowmaster or the in-line pump helps to move the water past the anal and sigmoid areas of the colon. |
| 20:21:09 |
kristina |
diabetes solutions |
| 20:21:12 |
Carl E |
So you would recommend the Flowmaster over the double balloon nozzle? |
| 20:21:32 |
Jay J |
Excellent - Thank you |
| 20:21:34 |
michael b |
the sept. newsletter really caught my interest, having lived in the Plumas National Forest for 12 years, with the main source of heat an air-tight wood stove, I had never heard of benzene problems. maybe i should consider the detox you mentioned? |
| 20:21:47 |
kristina |
Generally, one needs small meals often |
| 20:22:00 |
kristina |
Small amounts of protein and fat with each meal. |
| 20:22:32 |
TomE |
The double bulb is a lot of nozzle. the basic inflation nozzle or colon tube is what I find more useful. |
| 20:23:23 |
kristina |
Also, eat only 20 or less grams of carbohydrates per meal. |
| 20:23:47 |
kristina |
That is an excellent idea, Michael. |
| 20:24:07 |
kristina |
Researching the benzene article taught me a lot. I was particularly shocked that people who excercise store more benzene than those who don't. |
| 20:28:01 |
kristina |
The smooth flow syringes actually move water deeper into the colon, past the section of the colon that has the most nerve endings. |
| 20:28:59 |
TomE |
slow filling with water at 103F with sea salt works well. if you use peppermint oil or soap, that can cause me early expelling with low volume. |
| 20:29:20 |
kristina |
In this way, you don't stimulate the nerves that cause the cramping or need to evacuate. |
| 20:29:40 |
Dave |
A colon tube best in that case? |
| 20:30:06 |
kristina |
All of our retention nozzles allow for a hands-free enema experience and can make it easier to take in more water. |
| 20:30:41 |
kristina |
They also help if leaking is an issue. |
| 20:30:52 |
Carl E |
OK. I had an enema series in Madison last month. Dee Dee used a colon tube. I could only hold about 2 cups then also. |
| 20:31:18 |
kristina |
However, they too put pressure on that same area of the colon, so sometimes they can make it more difficult to take in 2-4 quarts of enema solution. |
| 20:31:53 |
kristina |
enema retention inflatable nozzles |
| 20:32:37 |
TomE |
slow filling and relaxing is best. sometimes it just takes practice. |
| 20:34:13 |
kristina |
Thanks, Tom. |
| 20:34:15 |
Jay J |
My preference is a warm bubble bath and a double ballon with a very slow flow. |
| 20:34:25 |
Carl E |
I guess I'll just have to keep trying. I was planning to try double ballon nozzle next, but maybe the flowmaster would be better. |
| 20:34:42 |
kristina |
I love it when people respond to issues brought up here with their own experiences. |
| 20:35:09 |
Dave |
What's the best insertion length of colon tube to accept more solution? |
| 20:35:50 |
michael b |
Kristina, that was a long reference to benzene. thanks. i will read it later. |
| 20:36:08 |
kristina |
Colon tubes, when inserted deeply enough, do deliver the water beyond the sigmoid colon. |
| 20:36:49 |
kristina |
colon tubes |
| 20:37:08 |
kristina |
8-20 inches, depending on the individual. |
| 20:38:00 |
Dave |
Best done by a "giver" I guess? |
| 20:38:06 |
TomE |
I vary between 10" up to 20" but needs patience and practice. Once past 6" nerve sensations go away. |
| 20:38:07 |
kristina |
Carl, what happens after you get the 2 cups into the colon? Do you have pain or just an urge to release or do you start to leak? |
| 20:38:48 |
Carl E |
I have an urge to release and I sometimes leak. |
| 20:39:11 |
kristina |
Have you tried putting the water in VERY slowly? |
| 20:39:18 |
kristina |
Have you used the sea salt? |
| 20:39:43 |
kristina |
sea salt |
| 20:40:02 |
Carl E |
Yes, I have used sea salt very slowly. |
| 20:40:20 |
kristina |
For those with leaking as the main issue with taking in more water, the double balloon nozzle is an excellent tool. |
| 20:41:49 |
kristina |
For those of you who haven't joined us on Facebook yet, please do. |
| 20:42:02 |
Carl E |
Can the double balloon be used without a giver? |
| 20:42:13 |
kristina |
Then you don't have to wait 2-4 weeks to chat. I also have DeeDee on there, too. |
| 20:42:30 |
michael b |
question: the juice, 90% celery, 10% cilantro, no other type juice, 8oz. i guess i am lucky i have a juicer. |
| 20:42:37 |
TomE |
Yes with practice the double can be done solo |
| 20:43:02 |
TomE |
Don't over inflate it |
| 20:43:05 |
kristina |
In this way, we can support each other more fully with colon cleansing, fasting, taking enemas, dietary changes, getting through the flu season and more! |
| 20:43:33 |
Carl E |
Thanks, TomE. |
| 20:43:47 |
kristina |
Make sure to use those two vegetables. If you want to have a bit of variety, do add carrot or beet or ginger. |
| 20:44:53 |
Dave |
Does OHN see more clients at flu season for prevention? |
| 20:45:10 |
kristina |
Yes, the double balloon is easily used by oneself. Also, it is currently on sale. |
| 20:45:59 |
michael b |
with the big push for flu shots, can one ask, leave out the mercury and the anti-freeze? |
| 20:46:43 |
kristina |
We are very busy this time of the year. We slow down between Thanksgiving and Christmas and then we are very busy again in January. |
| 20:47:16 |
kristina |
Check out my home page. I have written about this very issue. There is more than one way to avoid getting H1N1. |
| 20:48:07 |
michael b |
i am just not nice or should i say not PC. please tell us more. |
| 20:48:59 |
Dave |
My local therapist took her own medicine - 3 colonics in 5 days - for flu-like and respiratory symptoms and bounced back, with bed rest, etc too. |
| 20:49:28 |
kristina |
Unfortunately, one can't leave out the toxins from the Swine Flu. |
| 20:51:49 |
kristina |
Here is an article to read about the Swine Flu vaccination |
| 20:53:40 |
kristina |
there is already overwhelming evidence showing that your vitamin D levels play a significant role in your likelihood of getting the flu |
| 20:53:56 |
kristina |
Have your vitamin D levels tested as your first step in optimizing your health. |
| 20:54:22 |
kristina |
I, who love being out in the sun as much as I possible can, have been low on Vitamin D. |
| 20:54:34 |
michael b |
as a child, i got shots for polio, small pox, 12 combined stuff in shots, if iwas going to vietnam, but did not go there. so i sometimes wonder how resistant I am? |
| 20:54:40 |
kristina |
I have people start by taking 10,000 IUs. |
| 20:55:05 |
kristina |
vitamin D supplement |
| 20:55:41 |
kristina |
Thanks for sharing that story, Dave. |
| 20:55:57 |
kristina |
Did she think she had the Swine flu or the seasonal flu? |
| 20:56:27 |
kristina |
Next live chat is at noon on Wednesday, October 28th. |
| 20:56:49 |
michael b |
did the dog whisperer tell arlo to carry a small can of bug spray? |
| 20:56:50 |
kristina |
For those of you who don't already have a Facebook page, it is easier to navigate than being on this Live Chat! |
| 20:56:56 |
TomE |
facebook info? |
| 20:57:11 |
kristina |
Laugh out loud (lol), Michael. |
| 20:57:19 |
Dave |
Probably seasonal. Swine's still very spotty around thecountry and among age groups I guess. |
| 20:57:54 |
kristina |
Arlo is still struggling with his wasp experience as every little bug that touches his body after that experience has made him nervous. |
| 20:58:18 |
kristina |
I think, with the cold weather, he is slowly coming back to his regular self. |
| 20:59:11 |
kristina |
There is a link on the home page now to Facebook. |
| 20:59:27 |
TomE |
thanks |
| 20:59:32 |
kristina |
thanks all for joining me here tonight! I will look forward to our next chance to interact. |
| 20:59:41 |
kristina |
Bye now. |
| 20:59:45 |
michael b |
a good winter coat of fur will make arlo feel better. |
| 20:59:58 |
Dave |
Bye |
| 21:00:03 |
TomE |
