Coffee enema

chicadee that's exactly what I thoght it has killed people but I figured I didn't know Dr. wise just from Law and Order LOL

Himalaya where are u coming up with these things???

Himalaya,

I think there might be one woman on here who does coffee enemas.  I don't think many of the rest of us see the point - our bodies do a good job of getting rid of waste if you eat a healthy diet.  I think a reasonable number of women have done enemas (not coffee, though) to help detox after chemo.  I didn't, however.

Black cat, love it.

Spot on, Kay!

Seriously.  Coffee is the ONE vice I allow myself - wild horses couldn't persuade me to do anything other than drink it!

Hi there ....



Never did a coffee enema but my SIL did .... For something close to 8 weeks .... It was very trying physically and did not "appear" to have any impact on her tumor ..... Which continued to grow . She eventually had a UMX ...... Weigh the decision well ....

I did some research on this as someone told me they were doing it.  It would appear that this was discovered in the 1st World War, when a nurse was giving enemas to wounded troops.  She noticed a cold pot of coffee that the surgeons had left and figured that the wounded deserved coffee as much as the surgeons.  Bizarre concept in my eyes, but there you go.  She popped some in the enemas and found those who had the coffee recovered better than those on water.  Obviously she didn't know why, neither do I.  Coffee enemas make up a part of the Gerson therapy, which is a diet and lifestyle based therapy regime.  They claim that the lower colon has some sort of direct link via artery/vein (not sure as can't remember) to the liver, and the coffee enemas directly encourage liver detoxification.  Their remit is that a detoxed body is half the battle, as the body can then get on to fight the battle against cancer, rather than dealing with toxins.  It sounds like sound and sensible advise to me.  But, the coffee is cold, so no worries about heat damage.  To pour boiling coffee up your behind is just asking for trouble....

eat a bunch of fruit and veggies, drink a few cups of coffee and call me in the morning.  I've actually heard they can be very dangerous.. not to speak of gross.  (at least it's the right color).

I've had friends try it for a variety of conditions, and illnesses. Part of having had Lyme is that many turn to alternatives for the sake of trying anything when traditional medicine fails them. Either they reach the point of 0 progress, or can't find a Lyme litterate Dr to treat them.

Please. I caution those who are considering this. Be very aware that there are some very real risks with this.

I know of someone who ruined her bowels, and I know of another who ended up in hospital because there was so much caffiene in her system which caused an "overdose" (think dilusions and hallucinations, etc.). Caffine is a stimulant that affects the central nervous system, and is one of the only legal psychoactive drugs that is mass consumed. It is also a diuretic. Extreme overdose can lead to death.

I am going to add one more caution based on simple facts:

You can drink coffee, and get caffine jitters. It is entering your system relatively slowly. 

You insert suppositories in cases where rapid metabolization is preferred. It is quickly taken up into the body. Typically the medications are systemically acting (whole body) or long-lasting. 

With an enema it is forcing the fluid even higher into the system on intitial insertion. The idea is to hold the fluid within you, and then expel it.

You are essentially going to give your body an undiluted, systemic dose of caffiene. Please weigh the risks of adverse reactions incredibly carefully.

If you do this please make sure it is proper coffee, and not one of those genetically modified coffee beverage concoctions as well. What was used for coffee years ago when this was first tried is not what we typically buy in the store now.

Coffee enemas are indeed PART of the Gerson Therapy and need to be done along with the juice detoxification and if you are considering it then you should read 'The Gerson Way'. It works by stimulating the bile ducts in the liver to drop toxins so speeds up the detox but they recommend 3 fresh vegetable juices (out of 13 per day) to every enema and of course you should learn how to do it properly so to avoid the horror stories above (none of which I have heard of). Gerson have had some amazing results (see docs on you tube - The Gerson Miracle, Dying to Have Known, The Beautiful Truth) but it is gruelling and difficult to do.

I know because I did it for 2 months and ended up on my knees as was at it all day long and never managed to make the full 13 juices, but felt and looked better than I had for a long time. They call it upside down coffee and say it is the only time any caffeine should be put into the body. Once I got used to them I actually liked them. Apparently they are brilliant for pain control but I wasn't in pain.

Beatta Bishop famously did it over 30 years ago and is still alive. Prince Charles called for more investigation into it when a friend of his did it but was slammed down by the medical profession. I personally know someone who did it 20 years ago and she remains clear, it was a 2 year regime and she locked herself away but had the resources to have a helper, I didn't. She has since trained in natural healing and I was joyous when she told me that new research shows that one does not have to be as strident as that as there are herbs to help the detox, Hippocrates Inst say one shouldnt put any caffeine in body so they use water enemas along with juicing and eating living enzymnes.

There is always contradictory information from different schools of thought and I think anyone should do their reseach and do what they feel is right for them. I am going down the natural healing route but it does demands a full on regime, and it takes 2 years at a healing level to fully change the body. I will most certainly be using enemas as part of it.

Sorry....I am open to alternative therapies, but for me....

Using a coffee enema to cure cancer is like washing your car to fix a flat tire or a dead battery.

There may be some (??????) benefit, but it does not address the primary problem. Your car is squeaky clean, but you still have a flat tire or a dead battery.

And yes - there are numerous, legitimate studies done on bowel perforation, and other, fatal side effects done with "enema therapy".

I think Kris Carr is into wheatgrass enemas. 

This is quite an interesting topic.  One I have never heard of nor personally would not choose, not meaning it's wrong it's just a little to funky for me . But for anyone who has or will good for u to try something tat could be useful in detoxing. It still makes me wonder who thought of putting coffee up their butt.  It's things like that that interest me--how people think. Now u wouldn't reall use this after diaggnosis with cancer and nothin else would u----wouldn't this be done as a preventative type of thing? Just wondering.
