Hello DeeDee. |
| 13:00:19 | randyu | I am glad to see you don't recommend flu shots. |
| 13:00:24 | Andrea B. |
Hi all. |
| 13:00:30 | randyu |
Hi Andrea. |
| 13:00:33 | deedee |
Welcome Randy and Panda |
| 13:00:39 | panda s. |
Thanks. |
| 13:00:40 | deedee |
and Andrea. |
| 13:00:44 | panda s. |
Hi everybody. |
| 13:00:46 | randyu |
Hi Panda. |
| 13:01:06 | deedee |
Does anyone have a topic to discuss or questions for today? |
| 13:01:36 | randyu | What about diet for IBS patients? Is there one on the website? |
| 13:01:42 | deedee |
Regarding flu shots, I have never gotten one and have never gotten the flu either, so I am going to stick with that. |
| 13:02:09 | randyu |
What is your secret, DeeDee, for not getting the flu? Prevention? |
| 13:03:25 | deedee |
A diet for IBS isn't specifically mentioned on our website, and I would take a few things into consideration when recommending a diet, |
| 13:03:27 | deedee |
but basically a diet free of dairy, gluten, sugar, and stimulants (like caffeine, alcohol, etc.) would be a good place to start. |
| 13:04:03 | randyu |
What about flu prevention? |
| 13:04:12 | Andrea B. |
Hi DeeDee, I'm Italian and I have 28 years old. Probably next week will book a session of colon hydrotherapy, but I'm very embarrassed. Is the first time. |
| 13:04:56 | deedee | I believe a strong immune system is the secret to not getting the flu since we are all going to be exposed and we don't know what strain we will be exposed to |
| 13:05:07 | deedee |
and many flu shots do not seem to contain the strain that you may be exposed to, so you never can be sure you are vaccinating for the correct bug. |
| 13:06:39 | deedee |
Hi Andrea. Many of my clients are also embarrassed the first time, but if your colonic place is like here, the client is always covered and the practitioner has seen everything, so none of it shocks us at all. Nothing to be worried about there. |
| 13:07:09 | Larry |
DeeDee, can you touch on the use of probiotics in either an enema solution or suppository? |
| 13:09:03 | deedee |
Hi Larry. I use probiotic solution in clients in an implant after a cleansing session. I use our powder probiotic with warm water. I have also started using them in my coconut oil suppositories. This seems to work pretty well. |
| 13:09:17 | Andrea B. |
My problem is flatulence. My therapist uses a closed system Hydro San Plus. Is it safe? |
| 13:10:37 | deedee |
In the suppository, I use about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. of the powdered probiotic. |
| 13:11:18 | Larry |
Since I already have your Ortho caps, would one be the correct amount to use in the coconut oil suppository? I see you beat me to the question. LOL |
| 13:12:40 | Joseph |
Hello DeeDee, all. |
| 13:12:41 | deedee |
Yes, we use a closed system here also and Hydro San Plus is a good machine. |
| 13:12:58 | deedee |
Hi Joseph. |
| 13:13:17 | Susan B. | I'm new here, and to the world of colon health in general. Wondering if you might touch on the connection between hormone balance/imbalance (and resulting depression) and colon health? |
| 13:13:40 | Larry |
Would the probiotic degrade in a suppository if made ahead of time and stored in the fridge? |
| 13:14:04 | Susan B. | I'm perimenopausal if that helps at all. :) |
| 13:14:10 | deedee |
Larry, you could use an opened up capsule of the OrthoBiotic but that capsule contains probiotics for stomach and small intestine also, not just for the large intestine/colon. |
| 13:14:25 | deedee |
Welcome Susan B. |
| 13:14:31 | Susan B. |
Thanks DeeDee. |
| 13:15:10 | Joseph |
Yes, I would just like to ask about how to restore good bacteria in the system... especially after a dose of antibiotics... |
| 13:16:09 | deedee |
Hormone imbalance is very common, believe it or not. Depression many times is misdiagnosed and it is really thyroid issues which are connected to adrenal exhaustion and causes the imbalance in the first place. |
| 13:16:55 | Andrea B. | 28 years is too early to have a session of colon hydrotherapy, or is the right age? |
| 13:17:25 | deedee |
Colon cleansing can be used as part of a protocol for hormonal health because the liver processes the excessive hormones in the body, so the liver has to be healthy and the liver relies on the colon to process its waste, |
| 13:17:54 | deedee |
so a clean colon will assist with the detoxifiying process of the body trying to process the hormones more efficiently. Does that kind of answer your question? |
| 13:18:27 | Susan B. | Yes, precisely. That's where my mind was headed, thanks for confirming. |
| 13:18:47 | Susan B. | What else can I do to help my lazy liver? |
| 13:18:51 | Larry |
Joseph... I've been through 2 heavy sessions of antibiotics in the last few months. Daily enema sessions and the Ortho probiotics REALLY helped!! |
| 13:19:04 | deedee |
Andrea, 28 yrs. old is not too early. With the diets that we have and the toxic exposure, plus the fact that we don't all have 2 - 3 bowel movements a day, means that our colons need some help just like our teeth need to be cleaned periodically. |
| 13:19:21 | deedee |
You were thinking correctly, Susan! |
| 13:20:16 | deedee |
Larry, you should write a testimonial about your ordeal and what you did to get your body back to good health. I think that would help a lot of people. |
| 13:21:08 | Joseph |
Is that a pill, Larry? |
| 13:21:31 | Larry |
I simply followed your advice and it was right on target... big thanks to OHN! |
| 13:21:50 | Larry |
Yes... on the pill form. |
| 13:22:05 | deedee |
Susan, a good cleanse like our Core Restore program will help the digestive system and the liver both. I will put many of my clients on this to jump-start the system, and then some ongoing liver support may be needed for awhile while we rebalance the hormones. |
| 13:22:52 | Joseph |
Okay, thank you Larry. I'll give that a shot. |
| 13:23:10 | deedee |
Joseph, do you think you would try an implant or suppository with probiotics in them? |
| 13:23:56 | Joseph |
I could do that too, DeeDee... maybe I can call Friday. |
| 13:24:09 | Susan B. |
Sounds like that should be where I head next. Thanks, DeeDee. |
| 13:24:13 | Larry |
Question on the Core Restore vs. Vit-Ra-Tox... I bought the latter since I found out it contained enough product to use for two cleanses. Is one better than the other? |
| 13:24:29 | deedee |
Yes, joseph, give me a call on Friday. |
| 13:24:40 | deedee |
You're welcome, Susan. |
| 13:25:16 | Joseph |
You bet. Thank you too, DeeDee. I will eat some yogurt in the meantime. |
| 13:26:01 | deedee |
Core Restore is one that is a bit easier to do for most people because the fast is only for 2 days and you use a shake mix also on all 7 days. The Vit-Ra-Tox is harder for some to do because it is a 5 to 7 day fast. |
| 13:26:58 | deedee |
Core Restore also teaches people how to eat more healthy since it gives you categories and types of foods to eat that can be carried over after the cleanse. |
| 13:27:59 | Andrea B. | DeeDee, for my cleansing I use two or three enemas about every two weeks, but after a few days I still feel bloated. The colon hydrotherapy might be useful? |
| 13:28:32 | Larry |
I followed the guidelines from the website for the 3-enema series with the last being the coffee enema. I also used DeeDee's recommendation for the coconut oil suppositories. I had a very serious infection problem from a spider bite and was on massive antibiotics. |
| 13:30:03 | deedee |
Yes, it may be useful, but it sounds like you do a pretty good job at home. It may be more to do with your diet - food allergies, digestive system not working in general. |
| 13:30:07 | deedee |
You may find the Core Restore helpful, but we can dig into more specifics if you want to. |
| 13:30:50 | deedee |
Yes, Larry did a great job in healing himself! |
| 13:31:33 | deedee |
There is a recommendation on how we do enemas here. It is in the April e-newsletter. |
| 13:32:52 | deedee |
Does anyone in this group usually get a flu shot? Why or why not? |
| 13:33:53 | Susan B. | I did once and was very sick afterwards. I'd rather take my chances now! |
| 13:34:15 | Larry |
I get one every year and have for 30 years. The only year I missed... I got the flu! Even with my new approach to health, I'll likely stay with the flu shot. |
| 13:35:08 | deedee |
Ssusan, another question regarding hormones: Have you ever had your hormones tested? - because we do offer perimenopausal testing if you want to know what is going on, and I would also highly recommend hair testing. |
| 13:36:08 | deedee |
Larry, I think that is the case with some people. They have always gotten them and feel safer getting them - I feel the same way - only opposite! |
| 13:36:36 | Susan B. |
Well, I've done part of the above. I have no income and very limited resources so I did a hair analysis, cortisol panel, and just one estrogen measurement. Waiting for the results back from you folks any day now... |
| 13:37:41 | deedee |
I have also heard of people having a reaction to the shot and feeling like they actually get the flu after they have gotten the shot - I just think we do not know enough about all of the situations surrounding the vaccine. |
| 13:37:44 | Joseph |
Ah, very good, Larry. Thank you. I think that is probably the best way to take a series. |
| 13:37:47 | deedee |
My parents do have to get their shots each year also! |
| 13:39:12 | deedee |
OK, Susan, I realize who you are now. It will be great going over the results with you! |
| 13:39:54 | Joseph |
I try to get a flu shot every year, DeeDee, on account of my asthma. |
| 13:39:54 | Susan B. | Uh, yeah, maybe from your side of the picture... :) |
| 13:39:57 | deedee |
We are revamping our website to make it even better, so if anyone has suggestions as what you would like to see, let me know. |
| 13:40:47 | Larry | Do you have the magnesium oil spray listed yet? |
| 13:40:52 | Joseph |
Every so many years... I may get the symptoms... but they usually only last 2 days or so. |
| 13:41:14 | deedee |
Well, Susan, it will be good for you to know so we can move forward and so something about it, right? |
| 13:41:45 | Susan B. | That's for sure. I've been suffering too long and am willing to do whatever it takes. |
| 13:42:09 | randyu |
Checking out, all. Have a good day/week. |
| 13:42:19 | Susan B. |
You too, Randy. |
| 13:42:21 | deedee |
Larry, I do not think it is on the website yet - probably when we do the new website. The suppository trays are, though! |
| 13:42:51 | deedee |
Thanks, Randy. Are we consulting this week? |
| 13:43:42 | randyu |
No, I need to wait at least until early next week, DeeDee. Thanks. |
| 13:43:55 | deedee |
OK, Randy, just let me know. |
| 13:43:57 | randyu | I will email you. |
| 13:44:10 | deedee |
Thanks Randy. |
| 13:45:40 | deedee |
Andrea B., are you constipated also? |
| 13:46:05 | deedee |
How large of enemas do you do and do you seem to have good results? |
| 13:46:11 | Andrea B. |
No, constipated no, but some gas. |
| 13:46:58 | Larry |
After much use, I've noticed a white deposit forming on the inside of my silicone hose. Does this serve to inhibit bacteria growth or should I be concerned about cleaning it out? |
| 13:47:23 | deedee |
Can you pinpoint what causes the gas for you? Does it occur constantly and is it really foul-smelling or uncomfortable? |
| 13:48:18 | deedee |
Larry, I am not sure what caused that. Is it salt or mineral deposit, or what does it look like? |
| 13:48:45 | Andrea B. |
When I get up very early in the morning. |
| 13:49:20 | deedee |
Andrea, do you eat before bed? If so, what do you eat? |
| 13:50:56 | Larry |
It could be salt or soap? I do rinse very well after use and have soaked it in a weak bleach solution. It will come out using mechanical means but it's a lot of work. It's a light white coating. |
| 13:52:07 | deedee |
It is probably mineral deposit - maybe soap residue, and as long as you disinfect (don't use bleach!), it should be fine. |
| 13:52:53 | Joseph |
No bleach? |
| 13:53:27 | Larry |
Well... I was out of GSE and wasn't sure about using hydrogen peroxide. |
| 13:53:48 | deedee |
No, bleach is toxic and since silicone is porous it will absorb some of that and get into your body. |
| 13:53:57 | Andrea B. |
I don't eat before bed. |
| 13:54:03 | deedee |
You can use peroxide. |
| 13:54:29 | Joseph |
OK, no bleach. |
| 13:54:33 | Larry |
Thanks... I guess I should have checked. |
| 13:54:55 | deedee |
Andrea, try eating protein right before bed. This will stabilize blood sugar through the night and stabilize the digestive system. |
| 13:55:51 | deedee |
I forgive you, Larry. You have a pass this time. |
| 13:56:15 | Joseph | :p |
| 13:56:21 | Susan B. | I've heard/read that when the digestive system has to work overnight (such as after eating bedtime snacks), it becomes overworked? |
| 13:56:54 | Larry |
Hmmm... The last time I had a couple of hard boiled eggs and a couple of beers before going to bed... well... it didn't work out too well! ;) |
| 13:57:10 | deedee |
You only want to eat a small amount of protein which actually stabilizes blood sugar and helps the adrenals. Just a small amount. |
| 13:57:25 | Joseph |
But you got your, protein Larry. lol |
| 13:58:07 | deedee |
I am sure hard boiled eggs and beer were quite interesting! One hard boiled egg and no beer is what I would recommend!! |
| 13:58:17 | Andrea B. |
OK, DeeDee, but a colonic session is recommended? |
| 13:59:24 | deedee |
Yes, a colonic would be good. You could then see what is going on and hopefully the colon therapist would be able to give you some good feedback on what she sees. We can always consult afterwards also, it they do not seem to have good info for you. |
| 13:59:37 | Larry |
Thank you, everyone, for another good session. Catch you next month. Go Pack Go!! |
| 13:59:51 | deedee |
Thanks Larry. Talk to you soon! |
| 13:59:52 | Joseph |
Take care, Larry. |
| 13:59:59 | Susan B. |
Bye Larry. |
| 13:59:59 | Joseph |
Da Bears. |
| 14:00:08 | Andrea B. |
Bye Larry. |
| 14:00:56 | Joseph |
Be well, all. Nice chat. I will call you Friday DeeDee. |
| 14:01:03 | Andrea B. |
Usually how long does a session of colon hydrotherapy last? |
| 14:01:27 | Andrea B. |
Bye Joseph. |
| 14:01:36 | Susan B. |
Bye Joseph. |
| 14:02:31 | deedee |
Our first timers take about 1½-hour appt. After that, only about 1 hour. The actual session probably takes about 40 min., but there is explanation, intake consult, etc. |
| 14:02:42 | deedee |
Thanks Joseph - see you next time. |
| 14:04:13 | deedee |
Andrea, good luck on your first colonic - let me know how it goes. |
| 14:04:16 | Susan B. | You too. Looking forward to chatting with you. |
| 14:04:17 | Susan B. | Bye. |
| 14:04:26 | deedee |
Bye Susan. |
| 14:04:28 | Andrea B. |
Bye. |
| 14:04:37 | Susan B. | Bye Andrea. |
| 14:05:13 | deedee |
Andrea, I fill my clients anywhere between 3 and 10 times depending on how full the person gets on a fill and how quick the release is. |
| 14:05:28 | deedee |
Good luck, Andrea! |
| 14:06:06 | deedee |
Talk to you next month or email me. |
| 14:06:16 | Andrea B. |
OK, probably next Friday... my first session. |
| 14:06:30 | deedee |
Great - let me know how it goes. |
| 14:06:37 | Andrea B. |
OK, many thanks, DeeDee. |
| 14:07:46 | Andrea B. |
Bye... thanks for all! Good work! |
