19:58:22	Lisa P.	Hi Kris!!
19:58:56	kristina	Hey, how are you?
19:59:30	Lisa P.	I'm doing well. Lots of practicing for my Carmel, CA, gig!
19:59:44	kristina	Tell me more. I haven't heard about this.
20:00:22	kristina	Rayna has been studying the Suzuki method. I absolutely love it. We went to a weekend retreat.
20:00:40	Lisa P.	I sent you an email! I'll send it again. I'm performing at the Cypress owned by Doris Day! She does enemas you know!
20:01:27	Lisa P.	I'm glad Rayna is doing well with her music!
20:01:56	kristina	Sorry about not getting to that email yet. How do you know about Doris Day using colon cleansing to optimize her health?
20:03:07	Lisa P.	She has talked about this. When she was 13, she got hit by a train!!! In the hospital, she was given enemas, and she loved how it felt, so she kept up this good habit.
20:03:20	kristina	Welcome, Bud.
20:03:36	kristina	Welcome, Mike.
20:03:48	Mike K	Hi Kris
20:03:55	kristina	How did she get hit by a train?
20:04:10	Lisa P.	Hi Bud and Mike! Just starting out with some small talk.
20:04:28	Mike K	Hi Lisa
20:04:39	Joseph	hello Kris, all
20:04:57	Lisa P.	She was in a car with three other people, and no one was killed! But it could have been she wouldn't walk again she's so lucky!
20:05:05	kristina	Hi Joseph,
20:05:35	kristina	This is interesting about Doris Day because I learned about using enemas from a man who was hit by a car.
20:05:49	Lisa P.	Wow!
20:05:49	kristina	When he came out of his coma, his colon didn't function.
20:06:18	kristina	As he sought the advice of medical doctors, he wasn't pleased with the answers he was receiving: take harsh laxatives for the rest of his life.
20:06:49	Lisa P.	Smart man!
20:06:59	kristina	He continue his quest for bowel health and found a medical doctor in Colorado that guided him to daily enemas, which he has been taking all these years, with continually good health.
20:07:32	kristina	I feel blessed because it was through him that I started my internet business selling enema equipment.
20:07:48	Lisa P.	Amazing story!
20:08:06	kristina	Okay, please do share your colon cleanse and related health stories. The topic that I want to advance tonight is heavy metal toxicity.
20:08:18	Mike K	A lot of paralyzed people use that method
20:09:23	kristina	Heavy metals are contaminating our food, water and health supplements for animals and man. The major source is chemical pollution by agribusiness, industry and the public dumping of toxic household wastes in landfills. All these metals upset the mineral balance in the body.
20:09:37	kristina	Welcome, Tommy!
20:09:42	kristina	And Jumper, too.
20:09:42	Mike K	Their is a lot of times I feel like I have lead in my butt :-)
20:10:44	kristina	Yes, lots of people who are paralyzed do use the colon cleanse daily. I have worked with many and they always feel so much better when they can move their bowels daily.
20:10:51	Joseph	isn't mercury more of a problem in the Great Lakes water?
20:10:52	kristina	Lead in the butt?
20:11:32	Mike K	Ya, lead butt
20:12:05	Mike K	Means you move slow!
20:12:08	Lisa P.	Lance Armstrong dumped toxic chemicals in an Austin lake. We are angry at him here!
20:12:14	kristina	The most common way people are exposed to any form of mercury is by eating fish containing methyl mercury. Other exposures include breaking products containing elemental mercury and using compounds that contain mercury.
20:12:24	kristina	Yes, there is A LOT of mercury in the Great Lakes.
20:12:44	tommy w	Hi Tommy here - first time - ?? I had an astronomy class this evening that was canceled for lack of interest - :( Otherwise - Enemas - My wife is thinking coffee enemas are weird - !!
20:13:11	kristina	Mercury and PCBs are the contaminants of greatest concern in Wisconsin's fish. To reduce people's exposure to these contaminants, the state provides advice to help you choose what fish and how much fish to eat.
20:13:14	kristina	Welcome, Billy
20:13:28	kristina	Oh, I get it.
20:13:38	kristina	I guess I am a bit slow on the jokes. LOL
20:14:00	Joseph	:)
20:14:03	billythekid	Nice to be here.
20:14:05	kristina	Yes, lots of people think all sorts of enemas are weird.
20:14:30	Bud F	bbb
20:14:39	Mike K	I think they are mostly just embarrassed about it
20:15:45	kristina	Hello, Michael.
20:15:56	kristina	Hello Lori
20:16:11	lori	hi all
20:16:21	Joseph	hi lori
20:16:26	lori	hi...
20:16:29	Mike K	Ever notice how some people will talk about other people's bowel functions but never their own
20:16:32	kristina	This information is not intended to discourage people from eating fish but just guiding them on how much, from what bodies of water and what types of fish.
20:16:56	kristina	One of my goals is to reduce the amount of mercury that is in the environment.
20:17:13	tommy w	I have started some of the coffee enemas but not enough time to notice any difference. My health has been quite good and at 64 I feel happy about that. Honesty - I believe in some honesty so - The enema idea sounds like a healthy thing but doctors don't
20:17:36	kristina	Back to the broader topic of heavy metals:
20:18:33	tommy w	I seem to not know how much I can enter and then it hangs up here - ??
20:18:36	kristina	Hair analysis can detect and measure the content of heavy metals and minerals of the hair. This applies to animals and people.
20:18:51	kristina	The Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) of the United Nations Environment Program selected human hair as one of the important monitoring materials for worldwide biological monitoring of pollution.
20:18:56	kristina	Welcome, Katy
20:19:13	Katy	Thank you, sorry I'm late
20:19:21	jumper	Following up on Mike's comment, I recently had a colonoscopy and was required to take one of these oral Golightly drinks. I asked the doctor if I could do just an old-fashioned high colonic, and you would have thought that I had asked for something impolite.
20:19:43	Mike K	so how do you know that the fish you bought at the store is safe to eat?
20:19:56	michael b	watching the weather reports in wisconsin, brrrrr, so stay warm, and hello.
20:20:31	Lisa P.	Hope all of you are staying warm. It was sunny and 60 here!
20:20:45	kristina	I work with folks all the time who do better with a good old-fashioned high enema to have a colonoscopy. The client always reports that the colon was cleared out well.
20:20:59	billythekid	Even down here in New Orleans it is very, very cold
20:21:04	Mike K	Sun just went down and it's 82º
20:21:05	kristina	I know of many people who get sick for days from the prep drinks for the colonoscopy
20:21:23	kristina	Very good question, Mike.
20:21:24	lori	Ok so Christina, where are you going with the heavy metals?
20:21:59	lori	are we focusing on one topic tonight or are people just asking random questions?
20:22:13	lori	this is my first chat group with you...
20:22:27	kristina	The website I use is www.organicconsumers.org
20:22:43	Mike K	lori, heavy metals
20:23:08	kristina	www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/seafoodwatch.aspx
20:23:21	kristina	You can even get the application for Safe Fish on your iPhone.
20:23:40	lori	so do we just ask questions?
20:23:48	kristina	Lori, I always advance a topic, which tonight is Heavy Metals and questions are always, always welcome.
20:24:03	kristina	On any subject related to health
20:24:23	lori	is anyone else CHT here?
20:24:24	kristina	I am so pleased that you have joined us, Lori. Please do share all that is on your mind.
20:24:42	Joseph	thank you for the links, kris
20:24:51	michael b	in regard to eating fresh fish, farm-raised fish can be iffy? look for wild.
20:25:11	tommy w	Healthy discussions sounds good to me. Oh - I am in the Minnesota area - coldddd here. I know Kristina feels it also in Wisconsin. I wonder how I can change my wife's feelings about enemas? I was thinking of the DVDs you have Kristina - might help.
20:25:42	kristina	Here is a tidbit from the Safe Fish site from the Monterey Bay Aquarium that will give you the detail that helps you decide which fish to eat:
20:25:44	kristina	Health Alert Environmental Defense Fund has issued a health advisory for longline-caught albacore tuna due to elevated levels of mercury. No consumption advisories are listed for troll/pole-caught albacore as these gear methods catch younger tuna with lower mercury levels.
20:25:55	lori	I just bought the DVD and yes it is VERY helpful for people who don't understand. I highly recommend it...
20:26:01	Lisa P.	All About Enemas is a good DVD to start with.
20:26:13	kristina	If your hair reveals the presence of heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, selenium, nickel, copper and iron) this means the tissues and organs of your body contain them too. The hair is a spill over from what is in the body.
20:26:30	kristina	Generally heavy metals cannot be detected by blood or urine tests. Heavy metals are toxic, the severity of symptoms being related to the absolutes consumed, and the time factor involved.
20:26:33	Katy	Kristina, is it true that cooking goitrogenic veggies deactivates the substance that interferes with thyroid production?
20:26:49	kristina	Yes, this is true, Katy.
20:27:00	Katy	Thanks.
20:27:05	Lisa P.	Kristina has some good clips on youtube also! Check it out!
20:27:29	kristina	Thanks, Lisa. Yes, I am very pleased about those YouTube clips.
20:28:07	jumper	Where on YouTube? I don't remember hearing of this.
20:28:28	Lisa P.	I just typed in her name, and there it was!
20:28:28	kristina	Heavy Metals causing mineral imbalance can lead to the following conditions in people/ or animals: (from “Toxic Metal in Human Health and Disease”)
20:28:45	tommy w	Barb - my wife - is very interested in the health food stores and the non-medical approach to her health. Her mom died of Celiac disease - gluten - not tolerant I guess it was - Barb wonders if she could maybe inherit that - ?
20:28:50	kristina	Dr Paul Eck and Dr. Larry Wilson, Eck Institute of Applied Nutrition and Bioenergetics.)
20:29:04	kristina	Depression - toxicity with lead and aluminum
20:29:16	kristina	Hypoglycemia - elevations of sodium-to-potassium ratios with potassium deficiency prevents blood glucose from crossing the cell membrane and contribute to inflammations and stress. This can be associated with many heavy metals.
20:29:33	kristina	Aluminum toxicity lowers manganese levels that influence blood sugar disturbances.
20:30:00	Katy	Kris, could lots of yeast die-off from taking anti-fungals burden the gall bladder and liver?
20:30:09	kristina	Those clips discuss coffee enemas, as does the home page of my website, www.optimalhealthnetwork.com
20:30:21	kristina	Absolutely!
20:31:01	kristina	Lori, what is CHT?
20:31:37	Katy	OK. That is when I began noticing gallbladder problems.
20:31:48	kristina	Celiac Disease is often passed from generation to generation.
20:32:14	tommy w	Say - I noticed today that for me an enema seems a lot easier if I am on my left side. Guess I will go with that and hope it continues to work. Lots of time I need though before I stop "dripping," which is a huge nuisance.
20:32:21	kristina	We do an adrenal stress index test that measure for gliadin, which is a marker from gluten intolerance that I have found incredibly useful.
20:32:46	kristina	Have you tried a retention nozzle?
20:33:25	tommy w	I am going to log off - Last chat room I was in was Hay House years ago. A good place for the mental that is also an issue at times. Blessings to all -w
20:33:58	kristina	Louise Hay is a blessing to all of us.
20:34:14	kristina	I am currently working with the ideas of Bruce Lipton, PhD.
20:34:23	michael b	i do wish, if it is possible, to make the downloaded (small and large enemas ) dvd.
20:34:33	kristina	The Biology of Belief is one of his books.
20:34:51	kristina	You can also find clips on YouTube.
20:35:29	Katy	Sounds interesting, thanks.
20:35:45	kristina	It is changing my life, my work, my health, these ideas.
20:35:50	kristina	Back to heavy metals:
20:35:53	kristina	Headaches - almost all heavy metals
20:36:05	kristina	Hypertension - can be due to elevated sodium-to-magnesium ratio, and elevated sodium-to-potassium ratios causing edema and water retention in the body with increased blood pressure.
20:36:21	kristina	Many heavy metals play a role in this.
20:36:33	kristina	Arthritis - can be related to aluminum and lead’s relationship to calcium levels in the body. Copper is implicated in various collagen diseases and rheumatoid arthritis. Also elevated iron’s association to aluminum toxicity (“rusty” joint syndrome)
20:36:48	kristina	Lowered resistance to infections and healing are related to zinc deficiencies caused by toxic levels of aluminum and copper
20:36:58	kristina	Hair loss - selenium toxicity, and premature graying from aluminum
20:37:07	Joseph	how much for a hair analysis kris?
20:37:12	kristina	Prostate disorders - aluminum toxicity interferes with zinc metabolism necessary for the health of the prostate
20:37:30	kristina	$65
20:37:47	Joseph	thank you :D
20:37:52	kristina	Cardiovascular disease can be associated with aluminum, arsenic, selenium,
20:38:16	Katy	Kris, when I get a scratch and bleed I notice my blood smells strongly metallic. Is that normal?
20:38:19	kristina	We also do hair analysis on pets.
20:38:33	Katy	Oh really, how much?
20:38:57	Katy	The same as for humans?
20:40:01	kristina	I believe that blood that is high in iron tends to smell like metal.
20:40:21	kristina	Blood that is too high in iron can cause troubles. We like to see it on the lower side on the hair analysis.
20:40:49	kristina	The same price for pets as for humans.
20:41:00	Katy	OK, I have hair analysis kit and just haven't done it yet.
20:42:04	kristina	Well, I look forward to working with you using the information from your hair. The evaulation gives us a sense of one's overall health, of health trends, and how one is managing lifestyle stressors.
20:42:41	kristina	It is quite a kick to view the WHOLE body at a cellular level, especially after I have been studying cellular biology with Bruce Lipton.
20:42:47	Katy	Kris, is it possible for candida not to show up in stool analysis if it has been there long term?
20:43:06	kristina	The gist of his work is WE CAN HEAL. That our genes do not determine our health!
20:43:14	michael b	i have meant to send you a current hair sample. it has been 3 years since my original sample. if i tried a hair sample from my cat, she would bite me.
20:43:31	Joseph	I really want to do that analysis, for metal, and acidity testing
20:43:37	kristina	Well, Michael, I have missed you, ya know!
20:43:47	Joseph	lol
20:44:06	kristina	:D
20:44:17	Lisa P.	michael, can you get a hair sample from your cat's brush?
20:46:13	kristina	Candida is hard to locate in stool samples. Even if it is present it may not show up
20:46:32	Katy	What I meant on the yeast question is that I know I've had candida since childhood but it didn't show up in Comp. Stool Analysis test as an adult. I hear it can build a protective shell around itself.
20:47:13	Joseph	smart Lisa!
20:47:31	Katy	Sometimes when I do enemas, chunks of white evacuate with the water.
20:48:03	Lisa P.	Thanks Joseph! Maybe a flea comb will work too!
20:48:45	kristina	The stool analysis that we use looks at uses gut immunity and intestinal function markers to evaluate irritation and inflammation
20:49:11	kristina	If theses markers indicate overall status of gut immunity and integrity to be low, it is likely that one has a candida overgrowth.
20:49:12	Katy	OK, how much does that cost?
20:49:29	kristina	or too high
20:50:00	kristina	We have two different tests that can be found here
20:50:12	Katy	Thanks
20:50:19	kristina	Gastrointestinal Health Panel - $215
20:50:30	kristina	Gastrointestinal Health Panel Expanded - $275
20:50:47	kristina	The Gastrointestinal (GI) Health Panel includes 15 conjoint parameter analyses tests
20:51:02	kristina	Gastrointestinal (GI) Health Panel – Expanded panel of 22 conjoint parameter analyses tests
20:51:14	kristina	These both include 30 minutes of consultation
20:51:27	kristina	I think you are looking for the basic test.
20:51:35	Katy	I'll check out the links, thanks
20:51:47	kristina	You are welcome.
20:53:02	Joseph	yes, thank you so much for all of your information kris, you are a true inspiration!
20:53:09	kristina	Have I missed anything?
20:53:20	kristina	Well, thank you so very much, Joseph.
20:53:25	michael b	as it gets colder, i'll bet you think of belize.
20:53:34	Katy	Kris, I look forward to having you access my health and make suggestions.
20:54:07	kristina	Even though it has been tough to work through my own health problems, it is a blessing to be able to share what I have learned and to assist others towards a greater quality of life.
20:54:46	kristina	Yes, I have a tote bag that I carry around that says Belize. I miss it, lots. I sure would like to go back someday. It looks like schools will be closed here tomorrow because it is so cold.
20:54:49	Katy	Experience can be a better teacher than training but both are BETTER
20:56:09	kristina	Yes, both of fabulous.
20:56:36	kristina	One of my weekend workshops is coming up in a few weeks. I will be attending another Janet Lang seminar.
20:57:20	kristina	It is called Balancing Thyroid, Adrenals and Blood Sugar Naturally.
20:57:29	kristina	This seminar focuses on essential therapeutic concepts to approach thyroid, adrenal, and blood sugar imbalances in a natural, effective, and non-invasive manner.
20:57:47	kristina	Practitioners will learn to "follow the physiology" and identify the source of the gland and understand the adrenal glands and their many functions.
20:57:54	Katy	OOOOh, sounds good
20:58:00	kristina	Differentiate the phases of the adrenal stress response (alarm phase, "prolonged stress response"/resistance phase, and exhaustion phase), which are symptomatically similar, yet require different strategies.
20:58:10	kristina	Understand the relationship between adrenal and thyroid function and dysfunction, and why you often cannot resolve one without addressing the other.
20:58:24	kristina	Find out how adrenal problems are often the stage upon which degenerative diseases begin, and what can be done about it.
20:58:35	kristina	The thyroid gland, its functions, and related hormones are discussed. Learn why this gland produces as many psychological and emotional symptoms as physical ones. Identify both hypo- and hyper-thyroid issues in their earliest stages.
20:58:45	michael b	i am still most amazed, at so many ways you keep finding to get healthier.
20:58:48	kristina	Find out why this gland so often resists even the best of treatments, and what to do about it.
20:58:59	kristina	Examine the Brain-Hypothalamus-Pituitary (HP Axis) coordination of thyroid and adrenal hormone production.
20:59:08	kristina	Understanding this correlation and control system is vital to successful correction of thyroid and adrenal dysfunction.
20:59:27	Katy	I recently started taking l-tyrosine and B-6 and my energy, brain and over all strength are better.
21:00:08	kristina	Well, I hope to hear from all of you soon, and look for our next newsletter in a week or so. We will have our next Live Chat on February 11th.
21:00:40	Katy	Great, thanks Kris
21:00:42	Lisa P.	This was a great chat tonight!
21:00:46	Joseph	sure was
21:00:57	Lisa P.	Ciao!
21:01:23	Joseph	bbl
21:02:17	Katy	Goodnight to all
21:02:44	michael b	great to share the chat with all of you - katy, stay warm.
