when people ask When I ask questions about how they drink coffee, they usually don’t have an answer ready.
That is correct.what we are talking about coffee enema.
Coffee enemas, which have been around since at least 1500 BC, provide a very strong stimulation. and Strong reputation for liver detoxification. But many people find the idea of enemas (and their delivery systems) a bit scary, so unless you’re into deep wellness, enemas and their benefits aren’t talked about much.
as enema-like (Barely a word) Convert, I sat down with my own naturopathic medicine doctor and said, Dr. Sarah Coleseyruns his own clinic in Santa Monica, California, and finds all the answers for those interested in coffee.
Naturopathic Doctor’s Coffee Enema 101
Q: First of all, what is a coffee enema?
DR.K: A coffee enema is when coffee (not too hot) is pumped into the rectum to stimulate the liver to release toxins and upregulate the antioxidant system to increase the body’s ability to process toxins.
Q: How have coffee enemas been used in the past?
DR.K: As far as I know, coffee enemas were invented during World War I, when many soldiers were suffering from injuries and morphine was in short supply. There was plenty of coffee for doctors and surgeons to work long hours. The story goes that since coffee had helped doctors so much, nurses thought it might help wounded soldiers as well. (coffee was added). Soldiers reported a significant reduction in pain.
After the war, two German scientists began researching the effects of coffee enemas on the body because of their surprising beneficial effects. Since then, other scientists and doctors have also become interested in the use of coffee enemas. One of the most famous doctors is Dr. Max Gerson, MDwas developed by gerson therapy For oncology patients, these include coffee enemas.
This is controversial because the United States strictly regulates what is considered oncology treatment.
Q: What conditions may coffee enemas improve and/or treat?
DR.K: The main symptoms coffee enemas treat are pain and symptoms and conditions caused by the buildup of toxins in the body. This list is long, so Toxins may be the cause It causes inflammation, disrupts the balance of the immune, nervous and endocrine systems, and ultimately causes oxidative stress.. Oxidative stress can damage cells if it accumulates too much over a long period of time.
Q: What causes this toxic substance?
DR.K: Toxins are a problem for many of us because our bodies are exposed to a huge number of new chemicals every day. In the past few hundred years, human life has changed. The most common cause of death has changed from infectious to non-communicable diseases. Currently, the greatest threats to human health are chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.
A big contributing factor to this is the large amount of new (foreign to our immune systems) synthetic chemicals introduced into our environment and thus our bodies. Many of these chemicals are not biodegradable.Hundreds of thousands or moref xenobiotics It is released into the environment. What I’m most concerned about is Less than 5% of those chemicals They are tested for safety and how they interact in our bodies.
Back in the 1970s, the EPA wanted to understand whether xenobiotics were present in human fat cells. The results showed that five highly toxic chemicals (two known carcinogens, benzene and dioxin) were detected in 100% of all samples.the current 15-500 synthetic chemicals It is found in the body fat of all living humans.
That being said, I think we could all use a little coffee enema.
