Keep Healthy as the Seasons Change |
|
Flu shot or regular massage? Living with a cold or
sitting in a healing sauna? Depression or regular
coffee enemas?
The way in which we care for our body does affect
our day-to-day health.
The body is an ingenious, efficient
organism, designed to heal and overcome the
physical things that strain it. Unfortunately, we
interfere with our
body’s healing abilities, usually by our lifestyle
choices.
If we massage, cleanse, sauna will we avoid getting
sick? Not always, but we are much more likely to
live long, healthy lives if we take active and
tender care of our bodies daily.
Tending to our bodies during straining times of the
year is smart. In order to encourage you to try
this, we are offering some of our services at
reduced prices.

Colon Cleanse Implant Therapy |
|
Colon Cleanse Implants are therapeutic substances
used
during or after a colon
cleanse session. Implants can be extremely
nourishing to
the tissues of the colon. Colonic implants can be a
more effective way to deliver medicinal substances
into the body. Medical doctors have been using anal
implants for hundreds of years to get medicine and
other healing
agents into the body, especially when the person
they are administering
to is vomiting and can’t keep anything down. In other
words, enema implants were the original IV fluid.
The following lists a few of the implants that we
recommend at the Optimal Health Center:
Coffee
Enema
A coffee enema is used during your third enema in a
therapeutic
enema series. Coffee enemas became well known
through the
work of Dr. Max Gerson, M.D., Dr. William Donald
Kelley, M.D.,
and the many heroic people who have struggled with
cancer. It is
said that coffee enemas were discovered by nurses
during wartimes
who had run out of drugs to relieve soldiers of their
pain;
there happened to be coffee available that was
helping doctors
get through the stress. A creative nurse took a risk
and added coffee
to a few enema solutions; the reduction in pain felt
by the
wounded was reported to be dramatic. Coffee
enemas are an effective tool for
general health and detoxification procedures, and
have been found
to do an exceptional job of stimulating the liver and
gallbladder to
release toxins and enhance the liver’s filtration
process.
Dr. Max Gerson recommended taking a daily coffee
enema for
two years because the liver is the main organ for the
regeneration
of the body.
Special!!! The Optimal Health Center is offering free
coffee implants with every colon cleanse
session during the month of October.
To learn more about using coffee implants in your
own home, view the movie, Cleansing,
Coffee Enemas and
Colon Tubes.
Olive
Oil/Aloe Vera
Implant/MSM
An excellent recipe for healing the colon is a mixture
of olive oil,
aloe vera, and MSM. In an enema bag or syringe,
pour one-half
to one cup of organic olive oil and one-half to one
cup of organic
aloe vera juice. (Special Note: Oil will deteriorate
latex over
time.) Open four MSM capsules and empty into
mixture (approx.
4000 mg total). Mix as well as you can. Once you
have the
implant inside your colon, massage your colon from
left to right.
To move the implant further into your colon, use a
colon tube or
gently lift up into a shoulder stand, if this is
comfortable for you,
to help your body move the implant farther along into
your colon.
Try to retain the implant for at least thirty minutes.
You may find
that you can comfortably retain it for many hours.
This recipe
works well because it heals the colon tissue while it
assists the
colon in functioning more fully. I must warn you
though: it can be
messy.
Bifidobacterium
bifidum
More and more health professionals are realizing that
implanting
dairy-free bifidum bacteria into the colon facilitates
optimal
health. Bifidum stimulates an environment that
discourages
harmful bacteria and yeasts by taking away their
home along the
intestinal walls. Bifidum bacteria produce lactic and
acetic acids
that help to maintain a healthy intestinal tract.
Bifidum bacteria
produce B vitamins to assist the large intestine in
processing food
naturally and efficiently. Start out with one to two
teaspoons of
this probiotic in eight to ten ounces of water, organic
aloe juice
or raw, grass-fed, whey. You may increase the
dosage up to two
tablespoons over time. Bifidum is placed in the colon
after the
colon hydrotherapy session or the enema series and
is held as long
as you are able to hold it. It is important to note
here that it is not
acidophilus that is implanted into the colon, as that
species of
bacteria largely resides in the small intestine.
Celtic
Sea Salt, Sugar and Aspirin
Many people come to colon cleansing because they
have pain in their gut or digestive tract. This pain
often stems directly from the colon. Some people
who try colon cleansing to decrease the pain in their
gut find that the treatment causes more pain. By
adding the implant of 1 teaspoon of sugar, the water
only of 1 pre dissolved aspirin,
and 1 tablespoon of Celtic
sea salt
to the enema water many people will experience a
pain-free colon.
These few colon cleanse implants do have
therapeutic value. I
have worked with many more colon cleanse implants
than these
listed here, which I have written about in my book,
Kristina
Amelong's Ten Days to
Optimal Health.

Enema Equipment to Use for Implants |
|
"Gut function is central to all aspects of health.
Correction of abnormalities of gut function must
precede and/or accompany the process of healing
from any disease. Healthy micro flora and digestive-
absorptive function are the basis of restoring and
maintaining health."
-John S. Foster, M.D.
To follow up your colon cleanse with an implant
certainly can improve gut function. Which equipment
you use, can make all the difference to the ease and
effectiveness of these healing treatments.
Considerations for buying implant equipment:
The first consideration is whether or not this
equipment will be used for both the colon cleanse as
well as the implant. If so, you will ideally want to
buy
equipment that will hold at least 2 quarts of water.
The second consideration is that you need your
enema equipment to be easy-to-clean. (Easy
cleaning is also an important consideration if you
intend to use implants such as essential oil, olive oil
or butter oil.) The third consideration is that you do
not want your enema equipment to contribute to
your body’s toxic load.
With these factors in mind, the following enema
equipment could work well when taking enema
implants:
2500
cc bag- This bag is a great
starter
bag. You can not reach inside of this bag, but cleans
up easily with a soap and water splash, clear bag
allows user to view flow of fluid during treatment.
Nozzle may fall out easily. Medium fluid capacity
(2.19 quarts) to use for colon cleanses before
implant. Works well with oils, coffee and Bifidonate.
1500cc
bag- This bag would work
well if you were
just doing implants as the capacity is too small for an
effective colon cleanse. 1500cc fluid capacity (1.32
quarts) doesn't offer user access to enough water to
clear the entire colon before the implant. Clear bag
allows user to view flow of fluid during treatment.
Nozzle may fall out easily.
Plastic
Enema
Bucket-
This bucket is a good starter
bag because of its price and because the enema
bucket very easy-to-clean. The tubing diameter is
smaller than most of our tubing so fluid flow can be
slow-moving. There is no nozzle with this system so
hosing can easily get contaminated with multiple
uses. The fluid capacity of 1500cc (1.32 quarts)
doesn’t allow enough fluid capacity to clear out the
entire colon before the implant.
Although our Flowmaster systems are
highly
effective
for colon cleansing, they would not work well for
implants. All our Flowmaster systems contain within
them an in-line pump. In-line pumps could improve
the implant experience, but many fluids will clog
the valves in the pumps. However, we are improving
our in-line pumps. Look for our supplemental in-line
pump valves
which we will be offering as a new product to be
used in
our Smooth Flow Syringe and
Hose System.
The best choices for enema implants that meet all
three of the optimal
criteria are our 2 liter stainless can and our silicone
enema bag, as all other bags are either too small, too
difficult to clean or are made of latex, which is
degraded by the use of any oils and potentially
allergenic.
Stainless
Steel Bucket-This
2 liter (2.11 quarts), easy-to-clean, bucket works
well as both a colon cleanse system and an implant
system. I recommend using our silicone tubing and a
retention nozzle with the stainless steel bucket. You
must have an ideal place to set the bucket for taking
your treatment, which isn't always convienent for
people. Also, for some, the 2 quart capacity doesn't
allow for a full colon cleanse before the implant.
Silicone
Bag This
bag is easy-to-clean, holds a gallon of enema
solution, will last a lifetime, is completely non toxic
and hangs. It is an excellent choice for a committed
enema and implant user.
This next set of products have been put together
based on experiences using enema implants at the
Optimal Health Center:
Implant
Syringe
-Excellent for taking small implants like butter oil,
coconut oil, and Bifidonate.
Enema Bucket
Kit
Our Enema Bucket Kit is a perfect tool for implants as
it has the capacity to cleanse the entire colon and
then be used as an easy to clean, long-lasting
enema implant kit.
*Note-Always clean out your colon before you take a
coffee enema or therapeutic implant.
To learn more about the process of and tools needed
for an in-home colon cleanse before your implant,
view our movies, All
About Enemas, and Cleansing, Coffee
Enemas, and Colon Tubes and our downloadable
movies, Large Volume Enema and Small Volume
Enema. These educational enema videos
comprehensively cover the needed concepts
regarding in-home enemas. These enema videos will
inform you how to take therapeutic enemas so that
you can provide for yourself colon cleansing that will
have the same therapeutic effects as professional
colon hydrotherapy sessions, in your own home.
For those who wish to cleanse the colon using
professional colon hydrotherapy, please view the
downloadable video, Cleansing
Using Colon
Hydrotherapy.
Special note for those who are chemically sensitive
regarding enema equipment: One area of concern
that is not well researched is the health effects of
latex use with people who have multiple chemical
sensitivities. Chemically sensitive people tend to do
better if they avoid latex enema equipment. Some
chemically sensitive people need to avoid plastic
enema equipment also. Silicone
enema equipment and stainless
steel enema equipment are most likely best
suited for the chemically sensitive person. (For
assistance in overcoming multiple chemical
sensitivities, contact
Kristina Amelong.)

Newcomer to Colon Cleansing uses Implants with Excellent Results |
|
This month's testimonial is from a newcomer to colon
cleansing who started right off using implants. He
reports, "Since 4 weeks ago, I began doing daily
coffee enemas and they have been going great. I
am feeling a tremendous sense of well-being after
being somewhat overweight with poor digestion, poor
elimination, and likely clogged liver."

Cold and cloudy stresses the body - Use an FIR sauna and get regular massages! |

"You’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating:
nothing in life is more precious
than your health. If you take care of your body not
only do you prevent disease
and illness and prolong your life, but you also vastly
improve the quality of
your life."
Dr.
Joseph
Mercola
It is human nature to want to be healthy, vibrant,
and energetic. It is human nature to love life from
the moment we are born until the moment we die. This
innate desire to live well doesn’t change as we age.
It is clear that people do not want to lose their
health, ever. Why, then, are so many people
struggling with illness?
Many people think that our genes fully determine our
health, or at least determine the risk of such
diseases as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
What we are certain of is that our genes do have an
effect on our aging process. However, the extent to
which our health status is inherited is not fully
determined. Our focus on hereditary as the reason
for our health woes needs to be examined in the
light of our environment.
Linus Pauling’s Thoughts on Genetics
In 1949, Linus Pauling, the founding father of
molecular biology and author of Vitamin C and the
Common Cold; Cancer and Vitamin C; and
How to Live Longer and Feel Better, made
public his theory that the origin of disease is
based on specific changes in genetic
materials due to environmental influences,
which in turn modify physiological function.
In other words, disease is not solely caused by
genetics, but rather due to the interaction between
an individual’s genes and his/her surroundings. By
and large the genes impact on an individual’s health
is minimal until the person is plunged into a
harmful environment. Each person's gene pool has the
flexibility to express itself with health and
longevity, or with illness and degenerative disease,
depending on environmental conditions.
Unfortunately, we take for granted that when a
person's genes do express sickness, or even early
death, these diseases are genetic, or destined to occur.
The above excerpt from my book, Kristina
Amelong's Ten Days to
Optimal Health, is my launching
point to talk about how daily and seasonal light
changes
affect our health, as well as our longevity. In this
newsletter, we often look at how digestion
affects our health, but have you thought about how
weather affects your health? In Wisconsin over the
past month many people have come down with a
cold. People I know who are chronically ill are
having a particularly difficult month. I see more
emotional stress in most of the people around me.
Yes, school has started. Yes, the mold count is
higher. Yes, the ragweed count is also higher. But,
one significant factor in Wisconsin during this past
month is that the sun has not been shining much,
especially for late summer. Additionally, there is
less
and less
light in each day due to the rotation of the earth.
Unfortunately, with loss of light, inflammation
increases in our bodies. In part this increased
inflammation is caused by our metabolism slowing
down, causing
a decrease of energy, an overloading of the liver and
a straining of the adrenal glands. Given all of
this, it
is important to incorporate light therapy into
your regime when you are living with a consistent
lack of light.
One way to measure how important additional light
therapy is to your body is to take your temperature
each
day at approximately 10am. If your body temperature
is less than 98.6, consistently, you would greatly
benefit from light therapy. (If you wish to
receive an Excel Document to chart your
temperature daily, email Kristina.)
Our FIR sauna is full of thankful people these past
weeks taking a regular far
infrared sauna. Far infrared
light and
its therapeutic properties have been studied in China
and Japan for over twenty years and is now
beginning to become very popular in the United
States. Far infrared is very helpful for maintaining
your vitality throughout the seasons when there is
not much sun. Additionally, the far infrared sauna will
assist you to increase your core body temperature.
To learn more about some of the science behind how
the environment influences our health, go to New
theory of environmental inheritance ('05
Press Release)
To learn more about how a high metabolism (high
continuous temperature) could increase your
lifespan, read Uncoupled
and
surviving: individual mice with high metabolism have
greater mitochondrial uncoupling and live longer.
Vitality and Massage
My philosophy and ongoing mission are to shift our
collective
standards of what we mean by health. Optimal
Health is more
than the, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it,” mindset,
where after years
of ignoring and abusing our bodies (often without
realizing it), we
try to manage the symptoms that we dutifully accept
as, “just part
of the aging process”—a mindset in which seventy is
considered
old and still being alive at eighty is considered
lucky.
I believe a
shift in that paradigm is possible. My ambition is to
be old at one
hundred and lucky to reach one hundred twenty or
more. Would
you like twenty to forty extra years of joyful and
vigorous living?
Sometimes I can't tell if I am lucky or unlucky
because I have had to take rigourous care of my
body since I was 32 in
order to stay healthy. For instance, I do best if I
have at least 2-3 massages per month. Luckily, my
husband is eager to massage me some of the time.
Certainly, I love having regular massage but it is easy
to think that I can't afford it or it takes up too much
time. But, the fact is I do better with regular
massage.
Massage improves my immune function. Massage
reduces
my daily pain. Massage improves my mood. Massage
increases my energy.
For these reasons, the Optimal Health Center now
offers massage
therapy. We also recommend that our
clients who are receiving colon hydrotherapy take a
massage before some of their colon hydrotherapy
sessions. Starting out with massage improves the
results of the colon cleansing process.
Please do look into this month's massage therapy
coupon which gives you the opportunity to have
unlimited $45 massages for the entire month of
October.
