They're awesome!
Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
Yup, helped me tons! And cheaper than glutathione, too!! I drank whey protein twice a day to be sure I had enough raw ingredients for my body to make the glutathione the coffee enemas encouraged.
Posted by tdtid (Member # 10276) on :
I too will ditto that coffee enemas helped me a lot. It's suppose to detox the liver.
I also was doing colonix when I was too toxic to cope since I had a horrid time detoxing. But yes, it's a great way to remove the crap out of your system in more ways than one.

Can someone please explain how you make an coffee enema? I am so afraid to put coffee up my rear end, but I keep hearing these great things. I need more information!
Thanks.
Posted by daphnesmom1 (Member # 39433) on :
oh nevermind, I didn't see the links posted. Sorry

Thanks for posting these. I was just going to inbox you regarding this. Thanks!

Ugh, just started coffee enema's every day and I feel horrible. The first night I had a couple of dreams (I usually don't dream). Now, severe brain fog... I have a feeling my body just doesn't detox well.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Sorry to hear that Johnny. You may have an electrolyte or mineral imbalance. Most lyme patients are low on minerals (KPU). Have you tried castor oil packs to detox?
Posted by Tammy N. (Member # 26835) on :
Johnny - back off, the restart again slowly. I had no issues whatsoever, but we are all different. Maybe in your case too much of a good thing is too much.
Are you taking good binders to help capture the toxins that are circulating?
Like Catgirl says, definitely stay on top of your electrolytes. And take in extra fluids also.
Feel better.

This is a fantastic thread. Up for those who are on the fence about coffee enemas.

Can you do them if you have amalgam fillings? And can you use decaf?
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Greta, :)
Opus, yes, you can do them even if you have amalgams. I think one or more of the links above talks about why people shouldn't use decaf (can't remember).
Posted by lymeboy (Member # 24769) on :
will coffee enemas draw out heavy metals like Glutathione?
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Coffee enemas dump glutathione into the liver which then cleans toxins out out of the body (die off, etc). By themselves, I don't think coffee enemas pull heavy metals out (binders will though).

Can you do coffee enemas if you don't have a gallbladder? And should they be used a carets in time frame apart from meds/abx? I read in the first link that you should do them after bowel movement.

Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
I think you can still do them (found this link re Gerson therapy). You may want to reduce the coffee a little.
I do them 2 hrs from meds, sometimes 3. Yes, it is nice to do them after a bowel movement, but if you recently took meds, I wouldn't do them until later.

What kind of water? Can I use tap water that has been filtered?
Posted by Messa (Member # 38065) on :
Also exactly how do you guys clean the bag and hose? I've read that people are using peroxide.
Posted by birdie67 (Member # 35994) on :
My LLND told me to use distilled water
Posted by GretaM (Member # 40917) on :
Up for Ellen.
Posted by GretaM (Member # 40917) on :
Did a salt water enema. Then followed with a coffee enema as per the instructions in raw wisdom.
Wow! And Yuck!
But I got a strange headache immediately after the enema.
Any suggestions as to why, or what to do to avoid a strange headache afterwards?
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Maybe you were dehydrated from the salt and/or you killed some stuff. Try doing just coffee (I always feel better afterward).
I also make sure I'm hydrated when I do them or my body absorbs some or all of the second enema.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Bump.
Posted by droid1226 (Member # 34930) on :
coffee enemas have been the single most important factor in me being functional again. i can't stress it enough. it took doing them for a few months every day for me to realize the benefits.
my dr did an amino acid/glut activity test and the it showed 5 x's the amount of glutathione activity in my liver than when i was paying 250/wk for glut pushes and i was on 2000 mg which is a huge dose.
these should be done daily. people don't because they already have diarrhea, are afraid of the caffeine intake(doesn't affect you like drinking it), or just think it's gross. it's not. it works great.
Posted by surprise (Member # 34987) on :
Droid, really great to hear that about glutathione- I've been wanting to purchase Pure Encapsulations new lipo glut in pill form,
but it's $$ with cold shipping. I've been doing daily coffee enemas now for a week, cannot believe the 'gut clearing'
I thought I did a good job of that with Oxy powder and glycine enemas over treatment, but, not so! The coffee enemas are quite revealing.
I would like to think my glutathione is being raised- thanks for posting your results.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Thanks for bumping this thread, catgirl. I would like to follow.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
You're welcome!
Just want to say that for anyone who has tried coffee enemas and the 3 tablespoons didn't work for them (detox issue?) they may want to try a weaker strength. I tried just 1 tablespoon of coffee and still felt good.
Posted by lymenotlite (Member # 33166) on :
Do people use dark roast, light roast, or medium roast? Apparently light roast has the most caffeine but I don't know whether that matters.
There is now cold coffee but I doubt that that pertains.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
I've used all three but couldn't really see that much of a difference between them. That said, I usually buy the organic light roast.
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Bump (I'd be lost without these).
Posted by Marnie (Member # 773) on :
NO, NO, NO!!!
It made someone I personally know with lyme MUCH WORSE.
She was not this lady mentioned in the link below, but for those considering trying a coffee enema, please read:
Multiple benefits include gamma-delta T cell help, reducing amyloid beta, etc.
I'm not kidding.

Sorry to hear about your friend Marnie. We are all different. For me they are awesome, kind of like Droid's experience above. Dr. K recommends them for parasites too.
