Coffee enema studies

Many people promote, use and take coffee enemas for health reasons.

Does anyone know if clinical trials are/ were done on the efficacy of coffee enemas having benefits when taken?

Define clinical trial; if you mean the modern approach, with control groups and statistics, I could not find any evidence. Enemas in general fell out of favor and doctors, being good social animals, stick to the approved view.

The reality of today's research is that some company foots the bill for research. Could you see big coffee brands going: "and here is our new blend, backdoor best; studies proved its benefits"? 😊

Personally, I have a coffee cult. Love the stuff, love the flavor, the taste, the aftertaste, the possibilities of the morning, the energy - I'd take it intravenously. BUT: when I tried it in an enema, I found I was missing a lot. So for me it's just a waste of good coffee - I take it orally or not at all!

Look under the database PubMed and type in 'coffee enemas'. Whether you like the results or not, these are the kind of studies that are accepted by the medical establishment. I believe it was @Iris who pointed out in another thread, if you like coffee enemas, enjoy them but don't expect science to support some of the curative claims of proponents..

If someone can't make a large enough profit from something they won't "study" it. Coffee enemas are not alone in that matter.

...if you like coffee enemas, enjoy them but don't expect science to support some of the curative claims of proponents.

Do no harm to yourself, but enjoy if you feel coffee enemas are helpful to you.

I’ve heard of alcohol and coffee enemas, and always wondered why someone would want to waste good alcohol or coffee on a butt cleanser? Wouldn’t they irritate the intestines?

I wish there were a comprehensive study, but I’m not aware of one, and I’ve done a lot of reading. “Science” continues to treat the coffee enema as quackery — a slam against Gerson and their cancer regiment — yet there is a growing interest, especially among millennials, in coffee enemas to boost their liver’s ability to “detox,” in itself considered by the medical establishment as unnecessary.

My off-the-wall suspicion to why the coffee enema is popular with some people, is something that we on this site already know and love — an enema FEELS GOOD.

@Vicki_V ,

Thank you and all who responded. I look forward to your future input on this.

Hello

Who hasn't heard the saying: Faith can move mountains?

A positive inner attitude can often have a positive effect on the healing process of an illness. There are countless examples of this.

Coffee enemas are said to have a detoxifying effect on the liver. Both proponents and opponents of this claim always find something to support their opinion.

Now let's turn to the liver, which is an extraordinary metabolic organ. It performs its tasks quietly and without complaint until it reaches its limits. And these limits are usually reached through personal lifestyle choices. These include, among other things, poor diet (junk food), too much fat, too much sugar, being overweight, and careless consumption of alcohol and drugs.

Anyone who believes that coffee enemas can have a beneficial effect on our liver is, in my opinion, mistaken. Our liver possesses an incredible natural capacity for regeneration. We should use this to our advantage by creating a more affordable and better environment for their work.

Which brings us back to the belief mentioned at the beginning. Some people will certainly occasionally want to use a coffee enema as a form of support, out of conviction.

I too occasionally received a coffee enema from my lady in my life; however, that was for other reasons...

My wonderful colon hydrotherapist, a registered nurse and midwife with decade's of experience providing colonics to a huge range of clients absolutely swore by coffee enemas. She may not have actually conducted a clinical trial but she definitely knew what she was talking about.
