Coffee Enemas

Has anyone experimented with coffee enemas? I've read a little bit about using them, and their effectiveness, risks and what else to consider while doing them.

I found this article published in November by a Medical Doctor. He has come across other doctors who have experimented on cancer patients, those with candida and digestive issues...

"This procedure, although well documented, is considered by most medical authorities to be unproven, rash and potentially dangerous. .... The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that study participants must be warned of the risk of death from coffee enemas in studies that use them."

This thread just turned on my lightbulb to a million dollar idea - nicotene enemas. Don't anyone steal my idea, I'm going to apply for a patent. This is just between you, me, and the internet.

Quincy, I'm not sure that I want to try this, but I was wondering if anyone else here had success with using them.

I will not deny the risks of using coffee, or the fact that this hasn't be properly studied, but my response to what diseaseproof had to say is this:

"Dangers. Ralph Moss reports that the US Office of Technology Assessment or OTA "cites the case of the two Seattle women who died following excessive enema use. Their deaths were attributed to fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. One took 10 to 12 coffee enemas in a single night and then continued at a rate of one per hour. The other took four daily. As OTA points out, 'in both cases, the enemas were taken much more frequently than is recommended in the Gerson treatment." COFFEE ENEMAS

And as for the risk of using unsanitary equipment, that is all preventable.

It's kind of an unproven method of treatment, so its give and take, kind of like diet, where you are in charge of making sure you have the all of the right information to make this work. Dr Lawrence includes a section on "ADJUNCTIVE PROCEDURES AND FACTORS" to consider while using coffee enemas.

Coffee enemas are used as part of a detox program. It's usually done in the warm weather . While going to Massage school it was a big thing . People who couldn't do the coffee because of the Caffine would use licorice in there enema. I remember them selling the big red enema bags . I thought it was crazy!
There was a raw veggie diet to go along with the enemas.

This is something the Gerson institute promotes as part of the diet/plan. When my husband decided to go vegan he did a lot of research and the Gerson institute kept popping up with coffee enema therapy. At the time, I found it to be totally bizarre but fast forward 4 years and now that I have UC (and am no longer vegan) enemas are not strange sounding at all!
