Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi Please do not paint me as biased. I personally use many Alternative and/or Conventional protocals that others may or may not agree with. What someone chooses as their protocal is their personal choice, and I do not judge them. I am not pro or con about enemas, because I am not a medical professional or medical scientist. I research, and present the information that I find only - I do not write the articles. I also believe that open discussion without conflict is valuable to all. In this case I was only interested in the single topic of possible dangers linked to enemas. I posted this article [one of many - see 'search link' below] because it covers several of the overall possible safety factors associated with enemas that must be concidered. It also presents a small history of enemas, and some of the basic research results, while supplying alternative paths [diet] to achieve the same goal. This article is ment for informational purposes only, and in no way conveys my personal opinions. love don in ks From: Yunno <yunnokoslo@...>Subject: [ ] Re: coffee enemas Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 8:52 PM , picked the one negative article and I know he saw many positives ones. But chose to post a negative one. Dr. the leading premier Medical Doctor who treats thousands of cancer patients from all over the world stands by them , and I could list many others. I have been doing them since 2001 when my combo therapy failed. So far I have a high viral load but low liver lab tests and at last report not to much liver damage.

Dr. Gerson believed that by performing a coffee enema, you will not only cleanse your intestinal tract of toxins, but it will also detoxify your liver and gallbladder as well. Even though, this is not how the typical liver cleanse goes. Of course, this is all while following a "cleansing" diet of fruits and vegetables.> In 1958, Dr. Max Gerson published a book on his theories and findings, considering cancer and coffee enemas. In his book, he had "proof" that 50 patients suffering from various kinds of cancer were cured by performing a coffee enema, as well as eating a specific diet. Unfortunately for Dr. Gerson, his book was quickly dismissed by colleagues, health professionals and scientists alike, despite the fact that he provided "proof" that a coffee enema would cure cancer patients.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I understand and I believe you are a good chap. I still say there are way way way more articles on the benefits of coffee enemas than (I hate to even say problems) because I have never heard of even one. So I was just questioning your picking one bad out of hundreds of good ones. Google " coffee enema benefits " 22,400 hits Google " coffee enema dangers " 9'260 hits So I understand you view. I did notice one pattern, most the articles on " coffee enema dangers " are usually linked to selling some other product for detoxification. Ahh the good ole scare tactic in selling something.....maybe I agree we always need to look at both sides of the coin and then try to make an educated decision. I still believe personal experience is better than an opinion. Your friend in the battle of the enemy in the blood.
