I know there is alot of info on here about them, but I couldn't find a clear answer on this.
Regarding the water to use, we can't find purified water in a glass bottle and we don't have any type of filter. Is the Dasani purified bottled water safe to use even if it comes in a plastic bottle?
Thanks for any info!

I use distilled water. I buy it at the grocery store by the gallon. Affordable.

I think the OP's main concern is with plasticizers like BPA.
Personally, I wouldn't DRINK anything out of a bottle that has BPA, let alone put it up my butthole!! I would avoid that if I were you.
There are other solutions available. What kind of house water do you have? Is it city tap? Well water?
If it's city tap, you might be able to just boil the water beforehand to get rid of the chlorine. I'm not sure how harmful the fluoride is, though. You might want to research that one.
Another option is to buy an RO filter, but of course those are very expensive.
There are cheaper filters you could use that would convert your house water into a more usable form.

So, James, do you think well water is OK or not? And why do you think that?

Hens, I would consider some well water to be okay. We had very pure well water when we lived in the country. It came from a very deep well drilled into Indiana Limestone.
Our neighbors had a shallower well, and their water wasn't pure.

Our well water smells funny, it tested fine but turns everything orange. We don't drink it or cook with it, hell I hate even taking a shower in it. Not only that but we have farms all around us in this forsaken hole, they are frequently spraying pesticides and such. Their planes fly over our house, I'm sure that crap is polluting our water.
We contacted our LLMD, with the options available she recommnded using the Dasani. Thanks for all of your opinions and info!

Sheesh, Green, where the heck to do you live? Remind me not to move there!
What color do green and orange make anyway (after your shower)?

I agree with Paul that I would prefer well water over city water. Personally, I'd even get my city tap water tested, if that's what I had to use.
Hens - if you were to use well water, I would just make sure to get it properly tested, like Paul has said. PM me if you want a place that does the testing for very low prices.
I can't stress how important it is to make sure your well water is tested. I drank untested well-water for a year or two, and then ALL KINDS OF CRAZY STUFF started happening to me. You wouldn't even believe it. My ND did a heavy metal test, and it was shown that I was super high in lead. Then I thought to test my well water, and it was very high in lead. I think I'm still suffering from some symptoms of lead-poisoning today (that's why I'm so goofy! ), and possibly that's the reason why my Lyme was (or is) so persistent.

Green - do you use a water softener? My well water is orange when it's not softened.

Honestly, if I were going to use a bottled water for enemas, I would probably choose something other than Dasani. Dasani isn't just water. I think the 4 ingredients are: water, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, salt.
I don't know what all those do (maybe others do?) but I just would feel alittle uncomfortable using them given my lack of knowledge. I would be comfortable using some other pure bottled water.
I have used filtered tap water for enemas, but if that weren't available in a pure state, bottled seems fine to me.

There's a good documentary called "Tapped" which explains the dangers of bottled waters.
Here's another question concerning CEs: Does it matter if the water is mineralized or demineralized? I would assume that demineralized (RO or distilled) water might pull out more of our minerals (through osmosis) and cause a greater chance for deficiencies. But I've never gotten this confirmed.
Personally, I use RO water remineralized with ConcenTrace.

Coffee Enemas have been used with great results for 100 years.
anyone who doubts how good they work needs to try one when they are feeling toxic

quote:Originally posted by Al: I don't recall a very recent large study that found there is absolutely no benefit what so ever for using coffee enemas.
If you fish around the net you can find it.
Pleeeaaase. Even mainstream medicine has proven the efficacy of coffee enemas. It was in the Merck manual until the '70s.
If you can find that study, it's be awesome if you can post a link here. Then we'll dissect it and show how it's biased and incorrect. It would be fun!
But personally, I don't care enough to spend the time searching for research papers that were written by FDA quacks. These are the same fellows that say that every natural nutritional supplement is unproven and dangerous.

I'd like to see the study that associated coffee enemas with increased glutathione levels. I'm going off to look now, as I'm considering doing this procedure.

My goodness, Susie. I just read in another thread about your cancer. I think you should DEFINITELY do the CEs!!
If you need any advice, we can help you. They're very easy, and not messy at all. After a week or two, it becomes just as natural as using the bathroom.
You might also consider studying the Gerson Therapy. I'm not saying that you would have to follow it fully, but maybe if you added a few more fresh juices to your diet, while doing some coffee enemas on the side, it might be very beneficial for you.
Also, shiitake mushrooms and orthomolecular ascorbic acid are great for boosting the immune system and fighting cancer.

I don't know the first thing about cancer but I thought I'd share what caught my attention today while I was reading Connie Strasheim's book, Insights into Lyme Disease Treatment."
This is probably old news but I'd never heard it before...
p. 108, by Dr. M., at the bottom of a section about Hormones...
"Hormones are secreted in micromolar to nanomolar concentrations throughout the body and therefore, careful manipulation of these potent biochemical substances is critical for healing to take place. Furthermore, cancer (another anaerobic disease) is often associated with endocrine dysfunction, which is why I generally refer my patients to an endocrine specialist for treatment of certain hormoneal issues."

Quick question..... it's probably been answered before.... Does the coffee have to be fresh made or can it be used the next day?
I made the coffee this morning, but haven't had time to ummmm use it. It's sitting in the french press on the counter. Is it okay to use for tomorrow?
Thanks much!

Tammy - personally I think it's okay within 24 hours of making it, but I wouldn't use it after that because it can develop mold. I've used day-old coffee before, and I don't think there was a problem.
