I was listening to a podcast about it, and it sounds good and I know many have benefited from reading here.
My question is...is it helping b/c we are not detoxing well otherwise? As in, I wouldn't think it'd be a requirement for a "healthy person"...maybe a once in a while thing. Is it like the 'master detoxer', when other options don't work?

I think that's part of it. Now that I don't have Lyme anymore, I still have to pay attention to detox sometimes. I live in FL and we have the red tide right now. I have to pay attention to detox because it's similar to mold.
I also think with Lyme there is just a tremendous level of toxins to deal with. I don't do coffee enemas anymore, but did get great benefit from them when I was sick.

Coffee enemas are not about emptying the colon (although that does happen). It doesn't affect the body in the same way as drinking coffee. So is well tolerated.
The coffee stimulates the production of glutathione which is the major antioxidant in the body. Chronic illness, mold toxin, heavy metals etc etc deplete glutathione.
Glutathione is required for day to day detox and plays a major role in all detoxification of the body.
“A 1982 study by the National Research Council (NRC) in the United States showed that coffee enemas have the power to reduce systemic toxicity by up to 700 percent.
This is because caffeine and other beneficial compounds found in coffee -- when not consumed by mouth and therefore diluted by the digestive tract -- work together to stimulate the liver directly to increase production of glutathione S-transferase (GST).
This is a powerful detoxifying enzyme that binds with, and flushes out, toxins in the body.” – Angela Doss

- Milk Thistle, just one of many herbal liver supports, is wonderful glutathione support.
Be sure to avoid acetaminophen as it - and some other Rx, too - block glutathione not just in the liver but in all the body's cells. That can be disasterous. Detail:

Lightfoot... Yep that's what I heard on the podcast. There are other ways to get glutathione going. I suppose I'm Asking if you don't do coffee enemas, are you screwed? If it's that powerful?

I don't believe that you are "screwed" if you don't do coffee enemas. Many studies show that drinking coffee or using coffee enemas don't raise the glutathione.
I guess if you are very careful trying a coffee enema would not hurt you, but it is not for me.

Drinking coffee does not raise glutathione.
Other ways to raise glutathione: IV glutathione, nebulized glutatuine and liposomal glutathione. (not cheap alternatives) I am in the process of getting set up to nebulize it.
You can experience an immediate response to symptoms when you do a coffee enema. Most evident to me are a return to mental clarity and cognition and lessened fatigue. Many other subtle symptoms are also mitigated.
This is an immediate turn around in symptoms. It is not a cure as the body that is highly compromised by assault of chronic illness etc is using glutathione around the clock to heal and survive.
Coffee enemas are cheap and simple to do. Some may feel squeamish about the thought. I never would have gone for the idea but it was recommended by an MD I respected. I feel very fortunate to have learned of the benefits first hand.
The secret is to get a routine down and it becomes a streamlined treatment. I have even done them in motels while traveling.

I'm interested in coffee enemas, but was put off when I googled them: Wikipedia says they can cause "brain abscesses" :0
More brain damage is the last thing I need. So i put it on the backburner after that. I'd like to hear that Wikipedia is incorrect on this, of course

There was some article I scrolled past and didnt read during my hunt for info, but the headline was that coffee enemas had killed people. I think it was USA today but not sure. Is there a recommended kit to get? And is it more recommend for us due to our disease?
