Key Moments
Sauna: But I would rather wet the salt, use a Soleil
Then you wet your salt and you take a teaspoon out of your Soleil, put that into your drinking water. So again, depending on your budget, depending on convenience, how you want to go about it.
"but I would rather wet the salt, use a Soleil. Then you wet your salt and you take a teaspoon out of your Soleil, put that into your drinking water. That will work just fine. So again, depending on your budget, depending on convenience, how you want to go about it. But when you're feeling that depletion after a sauna, yes, you do want to hit those electric lights to kind of recharge the battery, so to speak. Awesome. Awesome. I had a question."
It may be 1%, 2%, 3% for absorption stuff in most cases, especially with zinc
It may be 1%, 2%, 3% for absorption stuff in most cases, especially with zinc. Because I like using a variety of different zincs.
"I think that there's not much different what mineral it's chelated to, what amino acid a mineral is going to be chelated to. It may be 1%, 2%, 3% for absorption stuff in most cases, especially with zinc. Because I like using a variety of different zincs. I don't just stick with one zinc. I love the zinc picolinate. I love the zinc carnosine. So wherever we're talking zinc, barrier function."
Sauna: Because of its love affair with oxygen and the
Because of its love affair with oxygen and the ability to produce all those hydroxyl free radicals. And that's why zinc is so amazing in its ability to help with the healing potential of the body and its use in over 300 plus years.
"Because of its love affair with oxygen and the ability to produce all those hydroxyl free radicals. But zinc is a stabilizing, like I said, zinc is on the transitional metals, but it doesn't transition. It's redox inert. And that's why zinc is so amazing in its ability to help with the healing potential of the body and its use in over 300 plus years. catalytic functions or co-catalytic functions plus thousands of zinc fingers."
That's a 15-minute hold of the coffee enema
When we do the coffee enema and we're able to hold it because the blood filters through the liver every three minutes, so we want five liver cycles. That's a 15-minute hold of the coffee enema.
"No. When we do the coffee enema and we're able to hold it because the blood filters through the liver every three minutes, so we want five liver cycles. That's a 15-minute hold of the coffee enema. So the coffee enema, the the enzymes in the activity of the coffee enema is going to the biliary caniculi to help dilate them. That's really what it's doing."
