Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 I've also noticed that during high coffee consumption periods of my life, my skin is more dry, rashy and irritated. Since I've been on prednisone, however, my skin is softer than ever (and even a little bit oily!). -----Original Message-----From: JUDY HALFDAY [mailto:judyfeb5@...]Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 4:38 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Caffeine Drinking coffee for me is o.k. in the day but having it to late at night seems to increase my itching from time to time. mtmuscldog@... wrote: In a message dated 8/5/2002 5:04:49 PM Central Daylight Time, hollydollyramnes@... writes: any problem whatsoever with drinking coffee IF IT WERE SO MY NUMBERS WOULD BE SKY HIGH.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I'm completely off now.... but it took about 2 weeks.. I started to substitute for decaf.. but now.. I'm even... to the point where i don't really miss it. Headaches for almost a week straight.... (I sort of went cold turkey but I'm glad I did...) Caffeine is a much more powerful drug than we think and can do some serious damage to various systems. GOod luck.. -- In candidiasis , Teddyberen@A... wrote: > I am trying to wean off coffee...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 how about a half a cup is that alright just so i dont get a headache cuz i get them alot debbie & gt; I am trying to wean off coffee...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Actually of all the things you could cheat with I'd say the caffeine is probably the safest. I have read that half a cup or even just simply reducing caffeine intake will be better for you. What I did in the beginning is hold off until mid-day and then have the half cup.. that helps the headache and got me through the day. Typical drip-brewed coffee contains 100 mg per 6-ounce cup Typical brewed tea contains 70 mg per 6-ounce cup. Typical colas (Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.) contain 50 mg per 12- ounce can. Things like Jolt contain 70 mg per 12-ounce can Typical milk chocolate contains 6 mg per ounce. Anacin contains 32 mg per tablet. No-doz contains 100 mg per tablet. Vivarin and Dexatrim contain 200 mg per tablet. So... you pick..

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 The theory is that caffeine will cause an insulin response, even if you did not consume sugar. And with elevated insulin levels, losing fat is very difficult. I quit caffeine but not for weight loss reasons, cause I wanna TTC and it is not good. So far, I am still gaining tons of weight, so it didn't help yet. LOL Jan > Hi guys, > I heard someone on the Dr Phil show the other day say that caffeine makes > the body store fat.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I don't know about the caffeine, but I found the only what to keep my sugar intact and quit gaining weight, I had to cut out almost all of my carbs, kind of like the atkins diet > > Hi guys, > > I heard someone on the Dr Phil show the other day say that caffeine > makes > > the body store fat.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Connie, My sister is a nurse, used to be in the ER for years, & said caffeine is often used for migraines, so yes the caffeine could be helping. Just be careful it doesn't keep you up if you take Excedrin at night. I find that at certain times,the caffeine can make mine worse, but other times it isn't an issue. Happy to hear it helps!! Jeannie aynrandi <aynrandi@...> wrote: Last night I was awakened again by the usual throbbing headache, and as usual, I took a couple of Exedrine, laid back down, and waited for the pain to stop. And it did. It occurred to me why Exedrine works when neither Tylenol alone or Aspirin alone does: Exedrine contains both these ingredients along with caffeine. I've known for a long time that it must be the caffeine that makes the difference, but until last night I didn't realize why. There has been a lot of discussion about the blood-brain barrier. I know the brain absorbs caffeine: Is it possible that the caffeine is acting as a bridge to aid in the brain's absorption of the NSAID's? I know that caffeine has a bad rap, but I have also read that it has some beneficial uses. Could this be one? Does anyone know anything about this? I wonder if caffeine used in combination with abx could help with absorption by brain tissue. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, reducing central blood flow by narrowing cerebral blood vessels, and often stopping migraines in their tracks. You might get the same results from caffeine alone, without the pain relievers. Vascular headaches like migraines can also be caused by muscle spasms in the sub-occipital muscles, which have attachments to the dura mater - the tough outer covering of the brain. Non-vascular headaches - the muscular tension ones - are often caused by trigger points in muscles of the neck. I can nearly always get rid of headaches with massage. You can try it on yourself. Search along the base of the skull for tender points that, when pressed on, make the headache worse. Press until the pain diminishes, then move on to the next one. Press toward the skull, not into soft areas. Take a look at your posture. Ask someone to look at you from the side. Many of us have a forward head posture, which causes us to tilt our head back in order to see directly in front of us. If this is you, practice tucking your chin back down toward your neck and bringing your head back over your shoulders. It feels awkward at first, even painful. But if you keep at it, you might be able to reduce or even eliminate your headaches (and shoulder pain). D.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dr. of Kurosawa Group researched caffeine and wrote in his blog that caffeine is an anti cancer agent.See the below article.I am wondering about coffee enemas. Did dr. Gerson use coffee enemas for detoxification or for direct anti cancer effect especially in bowel cancer? carla Caffeine inhibits adenosine-induced accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukin-8 expression in hypoxic human colon cancer cells. Merighi S, Benini A, Mirandola P, Gessi S, Varani K, Simioni C, Leung E, Maclennan S, Baraldi PG, Borea PA. Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Pharmacology Unit, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy. Frequent coffee consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in a number of case-control studies. Coffee is a leading source of methylxanthines, such as caffeine. The induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) is an essential feature of tumor angiogenesis, and the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) transcription factor is known to be a key regulator of this process. In this study, we investigated the effects of caffeine on HIF-1 protein accumulation and on VEGF and IL-8 expression in the human colon cancer cell line HT29 under hypoxic conditions. Our results show that caffeine significantly inhibits adenosine-induced HIF-1alpha protein accumulation in cancer cells. We show that HIF-1alpha and VEGF are increased through A3 adenosine receptor stimulation, whereas the effects on IL-8 are mediated via the A2B subtype. Pretreatment of cells with caffeine significantly reduces adenosine-induced VEGF promoter activity and VEGF and IL-8 expression. The mechanism of caffeine seems to involve the inhibition of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38, and Akt, leading to a marked decrease in adenosine-induced HIF-1alpha accumulation, VEGF transcriptional activation, and VEGF and IL-8 protein accumulation. From a functional perspective, we observe that caffeine also significantly inhibits the A3 receptor-stimulated cell migration of colon cancer cells. Conditioned media prepared from colon cells treated with an adenosine analog increased human umbilical vein endothelial cell migration. These data provide evidence that adenosine could modulate the migration of colon cancer cells by an HIF-1alpha/VEGF/IL-8-dependent mechanism and that caffeine has the potential to inhibit colon cancer cell growth.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Probably caffeine is a case to case basis. I do know caffeine was the cause of my elevated heart rate and chronic fatigue in 2002. The western MD wanted to give me beta blockers. But I dumped the drugs and dumped the MD when he said my erections would fail with the beta blockers. I just quit all forms of caffeine sources and cured myself.

HELP!!! +++Hi Russ. This program isn't just about cutting off candida's food supply, since it also eliminates food and drinks that are damaging to health or interfere with healing. Caffeine is a stimulant which is very stressful on your body, hard on your adrenals, etc., etc. The way to get off caffeine is to start mixing in some Swiss Water Processed Decaffeinated coffee, and increasing it, until you are only having decaf.
