My Experience Doing Coffee Enemas... And Why I Had to Stop Doing Them!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Before I recommend something to my patients, I make sure that I tried it myself. When I had the idea of creating a coffee enema series on UA-cam, I know that I have to test it out. And I did! But what was the effect or the results of doing coffee enema?
Do their claims apply to everyone?
Must everyone do a coffee enema?

The main reason for doing coffee enemas is not to stimulate the vagus nerve (although that is a suspected benefit) the reason for doing coffee enemas is to stimulate glutathione production and dilate the bile ducts.
Right? I was totally open until she was like “I did three of them and they don’t work” - she’s educated… but not a researcher
Exactly this. And boy does it help relieve pain and helps with brain fog and gives a nice clean energy. It's amazing what detoxing the liver does for the body.
She has another video that discusses the peer-reviewed literature for glutathione and coffee enema. No additional glutathione is being measured in those studies, from either oral coffee or coffee enema.
The bile release idea is more intriguing, but the studies there were not conclusive.
Agree, I have Chronic Lyme & treating bartonella. I was having intense pain episodes and the coffee enemas have helped me so much, my liver was over taxed. I think it's important too to see a functional medicine professional who is an actual MD, as some patients are not good candidates for coffee enemas.
I think coffee enemas only work if you had parasites. There is no science behind the whole glutathione and bile ducts claims sadly.
4 enemas over 6 days?! I don’t quite understand why someone would do this that frequently especially if they’d never done one before. That would definitely disrupt the body.
My doctor explained that with a coffee enema we’re trying to gently nudge the body back to homeostasis.
I’d would do one enema and spend the next couple weeks evaluating the changes with my doctor and repeat if necessary. Never more than 2 a month and I go months without doing them.
Please don’t take this comment negatively but you kind of set yourself up for having issues. Most people with ongoing health issues know if you try something new to start slow. Whether that’s introducing a new food item, supplement, or enemas.
You’re absolutely right. I don’t understand she did so many enemas. I agree with you two enemas per month if you have an illness or issue. I just briefly researched the coffee enemas and with common sense I would not do so many enemas. For someone who is supposed to be a holistic expert, it’s very concerning the information she is giving on UA-cam and her clients. I don’t think she did a thorough research on coffee enema.
The Gerson Therapy requires 5 enemas EVERY DAY! These are extremely sick people that can still handle it and would probably not even notice something so minor as a change in their cycle. 1-2 a month seems a little silly to me. I wouldn’t bother then. They are not that powerful or dangerous.
My Dr gave me the opposite advice for mold detox. She said the enemas would do a lot of the heavy lifting of detox and the more I do the better. I’m still evaluating it so I don’t know who is right. It seems to help my SIBO which makes sense as it releases bile which kills bugs in the small intestine. If this is actually happening 1-2x a month would be worthless for SIBO IMHO.
For healthy people.....for SIbo c sufferers they are lifesavers. Unless youre not replenishing elecrolytes after or have contraindications theyre not very risky if done frequently
Need to drink a lot of juices, ie carrot and green juices, to replenish electrolites. Coffee enemas should not be done without juices. Also need to take potassium and dessicated liver, and other things. The Gerson protocol has good info.
Anyone did this? what's your results
Do two a day for over 12 months now. Saved my life. Do your research carefully. Not here necessarily
Same
How did it save you
I started doing the coffee enemas and its been helping me with my Sibo methane constipation. I'm on my 5th day and I hope it helps me get regular. I'm trying to detox the heavy zinc in my body from 23 years of welding too.
Copper balances out zinc. Maybe look into that more if you're still having the issue.
Absolutely copper. Copper and zinc sort of balance each other out, and a lot of people are surprisingly deficient in copper. Too much zinc depletes copper. The reverse is also true.
This is a very interesting experiment but frankly I don’t completely agree with your expectations about HRV or the way you discounted the upward trend while on the enemas. It is reasonable to expect your HRV to be basically range-bound and for that range to either suddenly drop with sleep deprivation or to gradually increase slightly over time from a large combination of beneficial practices. Some things like deep meditation or breath-work can temporarily spike HRV - but that is normally very short-lived. That’s how HRV and improvement generally works - as far as I’ve seen anyway.
I would even take that further - since the enemas are intended primarily as an intervention to start a healing process (not what you are testing/focusing on) involving stimulating the liver to dump bile (along with glutathione production) it seems unreasonable to expect instant healing and recovery i.e. near instant improvement in HRV. In fact you should expect HRV to _worsen_ initially from “healing reactions.” Since there was no challenge in holding the coffee there was no opportunity for improvement in HRV to be seen. Furthermore, since you are doing so few enemas, and there is no talk about binders or other things to help prevent reabsorption, you should expect a good amount of bile to be reabsorbed - reintroducing the toxins that were just dumped causing, if anything, a _worsening_ of HRV. So you may have instead _disproven_ that detox was occurring for you based on the modest increase in HRV. This could be a problem in your procedure or a sign of exceptional health. But there is FAR too little data to go on.
So you probably got about as much HRV improvement as you could reasonably expect as your vagus nerve and gut health are already pretty great. That you didn't see anything dramatic sounds about right- for all the reasons cited. But despite all the work you clearly put into the video, this is more of an anecdote based on a rather cursory experience rather than an experiment your viewers and clients can really learn from - at least as far as I can tell. Most clients or viewers with dieases they need to heal would be much more motivated to take this further and would focus on the other main aspects of the treatment I would think. It's interesting to look out for the hormonal issue - but seeing as this doesn't seem to be a common problem and you seem to have probably disproven that any detoxing was happening I would take it with a grain of salt and not use it as an excuse to keep someone who is suffering from trying it for themselves.
Reading your comments you sound informative..so do you recommend the coffee enemas and what to expect the first time..do you use a light roast
@@jermaineholmes3531 Thanks for the compliment. I’m a bit undecided on the enemas as I have Crohn’s disease so it is probably too irritating and not particularly smart. I’ve stopped for now. Although the first few seemed helpful. I can’t say what is right for you.
I followed the directions for the Gerson Therapy including the coffee from Cafe Mam (therapy roast). Directions in the “all about enemas” section of the book “Healing the Gerson Way” by Charlotte Gerson. You want an organic light roast, low in mold. They recommended that brand for glutathione s-transferase production. But you also need a very high quality diet for the detoxing bit to work.
I waited 10 years to try it- but honestly it’s not so bad. It can be hard to hold so let it in slowly and get the temp right. Breathe and relax with gentle music. Pinching the thumb and index finger together can help you hold it in. My first few times I felt more energy and wellbeing, less SIBO symptoms, but it irritated hemorrhoids. Later ones were somehow easier on hemorrhoids but actually harder to hold and left me feeling worn out and jittery- but keep in mind I have a bowel disease.
Chlorine Dioxide.
@@Gt3ch keep doing them. You'll have a nice benefit after 1-2 months or even in a few weeks.
I agree. There was no “change” because her liver and kidneys are already in good health. I feel that there would be obvious change if she were in bad health
Coffee enema do not heal you from anything, your own body system does. The purpose of coffee enema is to remove the toxic from the body so your body system can function as it should. However, that is out and there is a in process. Now that the toxic is out of the way, your body cells need alot of nutrients and proteins that required to do the repairs to your system which usually come from veg and fruits. If your dietary has a lot of meat, it will only bring more burden to your system.
Also i recommend doing the liver flush to remove the stones in your liver before using the coffee enema to do the maintenance. Gallstones are cholesterol in solid form which coffee enema is not effective in removing it as it require fasting, epsom salts and oliver oil.
I used to have gall bladder stones and was told by my doctor to remove the gall bladder. Instead, i used liver flush to remove them once every 3 months. Ever since, i have no more pain from my gall bladder anymore.
Like your car, if the engine is full of carbon, you need to clean them first
If not, however frequent you change your filter or engine oil (like that of a coffee enema), it will not bring back the car performance. Liver flush is like cleaning the carbon in your car engine.
How did you use olive oil, Epson salt to detox liver, will you please share.
@@sunmoon9527 (1) drink 1.2 litres of green apple juice or apple cider mixed with water on daily basis for the next 7 days - this is to breakdown the large stones inside your body to facilitate the purging. (2) at the eight day, eat light and start fasting after 2pm, then drink espom salts water 3 spoons to a glass of water at 5 to 6pm. You will start going to toilet go clear your system - this is to faciliate the clearing of your digestive to ensure during purge nothing obstruct the stones from coming out. (3) at 8pm drink another round of espom salt for clearing. (4) around 10pm or 11pm depending on the time you go to bed, drink olive oil about one cup - use a straw so it go directly down the throat, make it easier. Some like to mix with lime juice i use tomato juice. Sleep within the next half hour and lie on the right side to let the olive oil wash the liver down. You feel things rolling the stones. (5) wake up in the morning, drink espom salt water again, you may or may not see much stones yet. (6) for the rest of the day, stay at home and drink espom salt to purge. You probably start seeing stones coming out - huge amount. Till you see no more stones thru out the day, you take something light and rest. For the next 2 to 3 weeks, you will see drastic changes. Initially you may look pale like you just recovered from a major sickness. But when the blood start to flow without much obstruction from the stones, your skin look radiant and healthy.
Make sure the olive oil is cold pressed and organic. Buy the German food grade espom salt, it is easier to drink, dont taste so replusive.
@@sunmoon9527 there is a book call liver flush. I think google ebook has it. Also to take note, your body require alot of rest and replenishing after a purge. So in between liver flush should be done once every 3 months. Do not do it often or at close interval. Some compare liver flush to the process of woman after giving birth. It is taxing on your body. Hope this help you. I lose 9kg of my weight after 3 weeks. And after the flush I will usually take veg and fruits for the next one week. Occasional meat on a managable amount.
@@marxseet thank you.
@@marxseet Yes, it's a taxing process and one should take a lot of electrolytes. When one is ready to do it though --wow!!!! It's the one of the best ways to improve ones health by 80%!
You were taking them too OFTEN!! Pure and simple
Hi Doctor, I had never heard of an aura ring so I looked it up. From an electronics/engineering background I would question how accurate the data detected by a simple device worn on a ring finger would be? I saw no clinical testing mentioned to backup the reliability/accuracy of their device. I have had sleep studies done and they hook a lot of EEG and EKG electrodes, chest straps and an O2 sensor to you during a thorough sleep study. I just don't see what this ring would have to do with coffee enemas? Taking one per day is excessive in my experience. Try doing one or two per week and use an organic light or medium roasted coffee that is free of molds. Also be sure to use distilled or filtered water to avoid chemicals in municipal water that might be affecting your hormones. Also add electrolytes to make it isotonic. If you take one in the AM, the caffeine will make it hard to sleep the first night, because it is absorbed more slowly over a longer time period. Laying on your right side will also increase the elimination time. I am diabetic and they really help fight the fatigue caused by diabetes, they also help clear brain fog. They also cured gall bladder pain that I was suffering from. But like Allyssa R. said the main reason is to boost glutathione levels for most users.
Good response ‼️‼️You seem a lot more knowledgeable than the one who made this video 😂
I would really like to know how and why do coffee enemas help people with random pains, fibro, severe neuropathy that I have.. What's the mechanism?
It help me with my vaginitis
Thank you this was the most unbiased video I’ve seen on coffee enemas.
If your aura ring uses wireless RF radiation, the spotting could actually have been from that. RF gave me post-menopausal spotting.
Your idea regarding estrogen and spotting seems plausible. Estrogen gets recycled by several phase ii pathways including sulfation, UGT, and glutathionylation, and all of those liver metabolites come out in bile. So if the coffee enema did speed up bile release, and/or sped up transit time, it would potentially accelerate the removal of estrogen.
my book about coffee enimas says Do Not Do coffee if you have IBS, only do chamomile tea , its the Gerson method
What book ?
I do chamomile and doesnt work. You need something agressive.
I've been doing organic coffee enemas twice a month (every 2 weeks) for over a year. The warmer the better to help break down and rinse junk in the colon that needs to come out. I haven't measured my rinse fluid but it's probably around 106 F, the same as a standard hot tub. Below 98 F and the cold cramps are the damn worse! 😂 Hold it for 12 to 15 minutes. Shake and move and rest in different positions to help break up the colon debris so it comes out better.
Enemas take some getting used to, and determination. Deep breathing when the cramps come is KEY, and not cringing and freaking out when you'll get cramps holding it. The cramps are normal.
After I'm done, I always feel a little violated yet appreciative to be free of it! 😆
Do yourself a favor and buy the stainless steel can enema for best results and easy cleaning/drying. Do them before 10am on an empty stomach, having nothing but a glass or two of water beforehand. This way you won't be kept up to 1am on the caffeine buzz.
If you want specific guidance just ask. Not gonna waste my time typing otherwise. It's simple overall.
Thank you for documenting your journey of this topic. It definitely clarifies if this treatment is viable, which from multiple sources, including this multi-video series of yours, ive learned that it can do some benifits, but not as much as people they it does. Over exaggeration is very common in the extreme communities & thank you for your bravery of this research & experiment that you've done to yourself & share the experience. Stay strong and keep at it with this channel.
That’s so interesting about the coffee enemas helping those that have estrogen dominance. Thank you.
Do you think he would get the same hormonal response if you only used water enemas? Do you think water enemas would be an issue with detoxing or excluding too much estrogen? Thank you for the information!
I've been trying to do good-faith, open-minded research on this, thank you for having the only science-backed, rational, evidence-based take I've seen anywhere. The people who are for it are all like "YOU DON'T NEED "EVIDENCE", PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!", with NO evidence or documentation to back that up. I want to give the idea a chance, as I'm very holistic health-oriented and "crunchy", and I don't think you HAVE to have several scientific studies for something to be worth trying... buuuut their _aggression_ about the suspicious lack of documentation for any of their claims is off-putting to me. Would LOVE for someone to reply and prove me wrong with some documentation.
I’ve only done a few coffee enemas- what led me to try was the idea of stimulating the liver to dump bile while producing glutathione. Frankly that’s all I ever heard before about it. The way that I interpret what others have written about the effect on vagus nerve (and my experience) is the act of relaxing and controlling your bowels when they start gurgling and wanting to eject the coffee is a meditative state, where you are both aware of and controlling your gut. Because it isn’t some magical drug in the coffee directly acting on the nerve, it is instead a mind-body connection that you train, and would improve over time, I don't see why you would expect to see instant and dramatic results the same day for HRV.
You’re clearly very healthy with a very calm and healthy gut - I found it a bit funny that you would be worried that your body tolerating something harsh could be a sign of dysfunction or poor health! Only someone very healthy would make that leap. ha ha.
She only liked the comments that agreed with her.
The purpose of a coffeee usually is to help with detox protocol.
That lady sounds rude.
Thanks for touching on HRV- I would love to know your thoughts on how to improve this #. Thanks for all your videos, they are giving me a great foundation to help understand some abdominal mysteries. Be well 🙏
I'm still working on that myself :) The biggest ones for myself and others seem to be 1. More sleep 2. Stress reduction 3. Meditation :)
@@gutmicrobiomequeen Thanks - I have come across the same things for increasing HRV. IN particular, I am excited to specifically improve deep sleep and play with hormesis concepts (cold/heat/breathing). Thanks
@@MusicforYoungViolinists Yep, HRV and deep sleep are the two things that I need to work on, too. So far being outdoors has helped the most. My previous personal best was after a night of camping. Then, I recently beat that when I took my daughter on an extra-long hike at the river for about 5-6 hours :)
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing! I know my own experience was pretty rough. It somehow caused a gallbladder attack, luckily I didn’t have any stones and it resolved after I stopped the enemas.
I thought the entire stimulation if the vagus nerve was from holding it in when you had the cramping? I don’t do need them for that, but it was my understanding that if the coffee wasn't strong enough to produce an urge, it wasn't goimg to give you any benefit for the vagus nerve, either.
Thank you for this video. Perhaps that's why it's good for people with estrogen driven breast cancers? I have a stage 4 er+ diagnosis and conventional meds are too strong for me. I can't retain for more than 5 minutes, but hopefully that will change soon. Thanks again!
I messed myslef up something silly from doing large volume strong coffee retention enemas and leaving them in for hours. I don't think it reabsorbed the toxins, but i think the coffee material itself toxified my system from absorbing so deeply. After i was done all the therapy, i was more toxic then when i first started.
Do you ever evaluate patients on mood change or mental clarity changes over the course of whatever they are being treated for when they are seeing you?
Hey doc. Not sure if this is enough data collection. I may look into aura ring as I have a collection of 50 days straight and 2 weeks off and now another 40 days I have done. There is a deep relaxation that happens during the process. Also I do think most people do them wrong.
Did my first coffee enema yesterday, and I could only hold it for 10 minutes
So Do you feel like it helped you any benefits you could notice
All of these online groups can take on a dogmatic, religious tone that borders on militant. Sacred cows. I stopped CE's because a practitioner I was working with for Lyme insisted they were detrimental to my adrenal function. I think he was right. They'd give me energy for the first few days but as the weeks went on I could irritable and angry. Maybe that's what was going on with these people in the group. Jacked up on caffeine with adrenals in the tank.
100% correct!!! I've experienced the same! I stopped!!!😶
Certain groups of alternative health are snarky by nature and know-it-alls
Thank you for this video I do believe in coffee enemas but I over did it 5 days in a row feeling so fatigued and sick
I stopped I’ll do it only once or twice per month 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
A friend of mine told me she and her husband are doing enemas DAILY! Isn't that too much??? I don't know if she's still able to keep it up but it sounded like she planned to do it every single morning indefinitely with no concerns about over doing it. Neither of them have any IBS or other issues.
Doing 1-2 a day is no problem ~
People who do Gerson Therapy for cancer do multiple a day. And despite what many will claim, Gerson therapy has healed some people from cancer, so the enemas didn't kill them.
I subscribed. This is real and informative. Thanks.
Thanks for nothing, lots of talking no point made. Recommend to take another Booster.
You sound like ur trying to mislead people. Who is surprised? This is a crazy. I HAVE DONE THEM GOR 10 YEARS NOW. This is a shame. Stay away from her kind.
How do you feel about them do you enjoy the benefits if any..enemas that is
I love your honesty 😂
Maybe you just did too many too fast. Seems like too much too fast
Took too long to get the message out.
I agree, 20 minute video just to say she stopped doing enemas because it messed up her hormones 🤦
Appreciate the stats and information
So did you get the covid vaccine?
I’m sorry to say, but you have an insufficient amount of time doing coffee enemas to show up as a positive maybe do it again and try it
You are right! ❤
You ‘had to stop’ doing them?
Yes. It isn't worth screwing up my hormones and in my professional opinion, continuing to do them would have been unwise or possibly dangerous.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen 30 every day is way too much, no wonder enema sure backfire. Once or twice at the most thrice a year.
Weird outcome measures.
Overall a great video
15? no 30
BS.
Maybe, maybe, maybe...... you dont really know much abot this topic!
I agree. It’s entertaining to see her reaching for conclusions based on non specific symptoms. The enemas did not change my sleep cycle, so it didn’t work. I can hold my coffee forever, so my vagus nerve is very healthy, or maybe it is very unhealthy. I had a little spotting, it’s because my all my estrogen got dumped, so now I have to stop. Those associations are such a reach, haha.
Indeed. Exploring the unknown by experiencing, researching and experimenting on herself and shareing her experience & data to the people interested in the subject counts as a person who doesnt know anything about the topic of putting coffee up your ass. I've seen the Gerson Therapy Documentary & altho is was a very well made documentary, theres still no scientific evidence of HOW Gersons Organic/Coffee Enima treatment benifit, even on a cellular level & how it can prove benifitual universally, not by 40 people alone. People SAY they got better from the treatment, but really? If there are evidence that fresh shit can extend & heal life, then we wouldnt have seen people having cancer & diseases...... Pollution, pesticides, & harmful chemicals is a different subject, which im happy that companies are (slowly) changing their systems now a days. Even having access to not only fresh foods, but also technology, research & a platform to share the results, people are still getting sick & to mock her as if you know more than her about a coffee flush makes me laugh. So thank you for that. 😊 it's almost like most ppl prefer emotional heresay, because it feels better than realities hard truth that life is extremely more complicated than the isolated experiences alone. Like the flat earthers. Thank you for participating and have a nice day.
Can barely her you.
Real doctors do not recommend coffee enemas nor do they participate in them. Wiow
