Wow I would really caution everyone about using magnesium supplements on a regular basis. Our mag levels are depleted because borrelia feeds on it.

In my own case I definitely notice my paresthesias increase noticeably if I supplement with magnesium for even a week. One of the early treatments for LD in Europe was mineral depletion therapy because the bacterium replicates more slowly without influx of minerals into the body.

dumbest question yet: Why is it bad to drink coffee but good to take coffee enemas?

The caffeine is not absorbed into the body when doing a coffee enema.

Here is a great explaination of how a coffee enama works

The coffee enema is used to detoxify the liver, NOT THE COLON. It is a low-volume enema that remains only in the sigmoid colon. There is a duct between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the "entero-hepatic circulation system". When the stool reaches this point, it contains many toxins, which are sent to the liver for detoxification.

Coffee Enema For Liver Detoxification

Without getting too technical here, the caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon. Releasing the toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification.

The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of an enzyme called "glutathione-S-transferase", which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways. The coffee enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not placed too high.

 

peacesoul,

Thanks for posting the info on the coffee enemas. I may just have to try it out since it also detoxes the liver. I thought it just took the toxins out of the colon.
