Coffee Enemas -- What kind of Coffee?

What is the best coffee to use in an enema?

Caf/Decaf? Instant/Brewed? Organic/Generic?

Coffee Enemas - General Discussion: http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=21.0

Go to a health food store, they have coffee that is blended just for enemas.

I use coffee enemas regularly. I use organic coffee with a coarse grind since I cold brew it. After filtering I warm to 115 degrees.

The reason they recommend not using commercially grown coffee is because they use pesticides on it.

Yes, very good for detoxing the liver. Gerson therapy? Always use brewed coffee, not instant. Usually given as a "high" enema. I prefer using the colon tube for them. Retain for a while. Enjoy.

I thinks Starbucks is over roasted. Duncan Donuts rocks. i've also found regional stores (Peaberry in the Denver area for one) have much better and fresher coffee than Starbucks.

Besides, for enema purposes i'd use a cheaper coffee. Regular old Maxwell house works great and is economical too.

The best coffee to use is ORGANIC. And use distilled water. The organic coffee has no chemicals in it. I make mine just a bit weaker than drinking coffee since it does go directly into your system. You will get a caffeine rush, so best to do this in the early afternoon or am. I love this enema and the brew will keep up to several weeks in the fridge in a Mason jar. Just remember to warm it unless you are going for the cramping pain of cold enemas.

In a discussion on another place a couple years ago, there was a discussion on which brand of coffee to use. Among the brands suggested were:

Asswell House

Choc full o'butts

Hose Bros.

Tubein

Fullyours

Starbutts

Hello Everyone,

I've ordered enema coffee from the Optimal Health Network. It was supposed to be perfect for enemas as well as "organic". The label on the bag even has part of an enema bag on it.

However, I've tried regular roast Folgers coffee and it seems to do the trick and for a lot less change. Folgers even has a new regular coffee that is supposed to be easier on the stomach.

Does anybody know if there is significant difference between a regularly marketed coffee and a specialized organic one? I'm certain that regular coffee probably has a few additional chemicals for preservation, taste, and appearance. If you regularly drink coffee you're getting exposed to these anyway. However, is there any real difference?

Well like you say we drink regular coffee so what's wrong with using it in our bums

^^^^ Like you said, if you drink it, it is alright in the other end also.

There's so much marketing hype, voodoo , falsehoods, fabrications and all out lies regarding enemas, colon cleansing and colonics it is disgraceful.

I disagree. the organic vs conventionally grown debate demands closer consideration.

Some conventionally grown stuff may be alright to consume while others may not be, such as berries, certain fruits, etc. It's like having the fox manage the hen house, and to pretend that anything that finds it's way onto a market shelf is fine, is bullshit. I'm not that trusting of the regulatory systems in place to protect us because they really are there to protect industries and maximize profits first. If you watch the news at all and follow any current events in our culture (Amerika) you should be able to see the domino effect in this line of thought virtually everyday... just connect the dots folks! :😃

That said, put anything up your ass that you like, realize also that you can buy organic coffee at any quality marketplace, it doesn't have to come from a place that markets to enema users! Besides, buying organic is a measure toward minimizing your exposure to things that might collectively be harmful and eventually overwhelm your system... not things that will harm you directly. This point seems to be lost on too many people today and if you don't subscribe to "buying organic", at least keep your ignorance to yourself because chances are you probably haven't considered the ramifications nearly as much as others probably have.

Besides, I wouldn't be caught drinking Folgers or putting it up my ass, or any other canned shit pretending to be coffee. Ever had a real cup of coffee?!?

Sorry for the rant - must have had too many cups of coffee this morning... 😉

You may find that enema coffee, such as Wilson's, is less acidic that drinking coffee and easier to retain.

. . . I was referring to all things produced in agronomy, not just coffee so agreed. I understand that it's difficult to control the things we consume, unless you live in a coffee producing region you're not going to control that aspect. . .

I find it hard to believe that the third world countries that are growing coffee are actually growing "organic" coffee. Most of those countries are even more corrupt than the US, and I just don't think you get what the label says, and I don't care who stamps their approval on it.

Therefore, if you can drink it, its fine for the other end, too.

I do agree with you about premium vs ordinary coffee. The problem with most coffee you drink, is simply that the coffee isn't brewed with enough grounds to make a strong and flavorful cup.

One of the things that you probably should pay some attention to is the amount of acids produced by the coffee: some is known to be particularly acidic (which can in time erode the wall of your colon); there are other types that some watchgroups say to stay away from due to underlying factors such as known carcinogenic additives or unsafe use of chemicals. Some of the groves have been the dumping grounds of hazardous wastes, the pesticides sprayed on them aren't safe -- any number of things that add to the toxin load (and no doubt things are done that make the coffee even worse). So despite the inexact definition of "organic" means and the inexactitude of how the terms applies, if you find a means to determine for yourself a company that actually takes the time, effort and expense to assure that their coffee meets some standards of organic purity, good for you. (I worked for 2 years flying a business jet for one of the nation's largest privately-owned companies, one that had an adjunct coffee business -- a competitor of Starbucks -- and I can tell you that as of the 1980s, there were companies that had very strong product standards where their coffee was concerned: they dictated and controlled every aspect of the coffee's growth and production, and having done an extra credit project for a college chemistry class I took, I can tell you that there is a lot that effects a cup of coffee's drinkability.)

On the other hand, while everyone is so concerned about the quality of coffee they might consider putting into their rear-end, I'm amazed at how little people care for the quality of water that they use when they make up an enema.

Has anyone every taken the time to have their water analyzed? I have -- and the results have frightened me. Now, I have distilled water delivered to me in glass bottles, and I still run it twice through a Brita water filter, too.

I must agree with Susie; organic coffee may or may not be organic. It probably doesn't matter anyway. Wilson's has more kick than OHN or regular coffee (I used a dark espresso roast). Wilson's does seem to be a bit easier to retain; this is purely subjective, haven't done A-B-C comparisons. The bottom line is use what you like; if that isn't satisfactory, try another brand. De gustibus non est disputandem.

^^^^ Don't let the darkness of the roast or whether the coffee is called espresso make you think that it has a large amount of caffeine.

The cheap robustas DO have more caffeine than typical (premium) arabica coffees.

Very dark roasts, especially any starbucks, dark espressos, French roast or Italian roasts generally have LESS caffeine than lighter roasts because the roasting temperatures cause the caffeine to decompose.

Good ol' Charbucks. It's not coffee, it's a status symbol!

Actually they've cleaned up their ways now. If you check the ingredients list for their coffee it now just says "Coffee". Last year it had a million other things mixed in that I wouldn't dare to try and pronounce!

The best coffee enema I had was made from a cup of cheap dark roast coffee beans that I got at my local super-discounted grocery store. The brand was so obscure I don't think it had any English labeling. It did a wonderful job and I suffered no ill effects (in fact I didn't even get much of a caffeine high at all, if any). It was very gentle.

A big concern with "organic" anything is that the certification process is very simple, cheap, and makes your product sell a lot better. This means that companies will do the bare minimum and still get the label. The only organic coffee you can rest assured is organic is the coffee plants growing in your back yard. And yes, you can probably grow the stuff, it grows easily most anywhere.

I've started my day with a coffee enema for over 5 years now. i usually buy whatever top brand is on sale when i shop. i've had no issues at all.

Regarding Organic coffee, the reality is that about 90% of the 'regular' coffee you buy is organic anyway because they can't afford the chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the very poor countries where coffee is grown, and coffee plants are not really needy for fertilizer because where it is grown is usually a good soil to start with, and the plant is not a hot item for most pests. The reason it doesn't say organic is because it cost money to certify it, and these farmers don't have that kind of money to start with. As with most things, the companies make beaucoup bucks, and the farmers next to nothing. That's why 'Fair Trade' coffee was started, to try and stabilize the prices farmers get, which translates into a slightly higher price fo us. If you want to help the farmers out, buy Fair Trade coffee (it says so on the bag). It costs us little, but enables them to have a more stable income becuase they guarantee them the price for their beans ahead of time.

I personally use S.A. Wilson's coffee for my enemas. It is definitely not like any coffee you would drink. It is specifically roasted for enemas. I am no expert when it comes to organic vs. regular, but I do really enjoy this coffee as an enema. It is easy to hold. I usually hold it for about 30 minutes. I don't know if it is a coincidence, but when I had my physical last year, my doctor commented that all my blood chemistry test results looked the best they ever have. I did not tell him that I am using coffee enemas, so he wasn't biased when he made the remark. I do not follow the best nutritional habits and as I am getting older, several things like cholesterol, and triglycerides were beginning to creep up and the use of the coffee enemas seemed to have reversed that trend. So I am sticking with Wilson's coffee. It is more expensive than Folgers, but a lot cheaper than medication to control things like cholesterol. Of course this is only my observation and opinion and I am not in the medical profession. So do not assume this information to me any kind of medical advice.

My personal opinion is that if you drink it...it won't hurt the other end either

Insant coffee is not organic number one and is really not healthy for you.

Coffee enemas done right and held only for 15 to 20 minutes makes the liver and gall bladder secrete bile that gets rid of the toxins in the body, thus getting rid of what ever ails you.

I will wait about an hour and do a cleansing enema after wards so I get rid of the bile that is secreted in to the colon 😃

Wilson's coffee probably has the most caffeine of any coffee. It's also pricey. As observed earlier, coffee made with robusta beans and a light roast will probably approximate Wilson's. The difficulty I've encountered is finding a robusta roast. Almost all coffees blare that they're made from arabica beans, as these beans make better tasting coffee.

If you can drink the coffee, there is probably little if anything negative it will do to you going in the other end. Making real coffee isn't so hard to do, and I suppose that as with most "alternative" treatments, there is a lot of voodoo and black magic involved. Instant is probably fine, and I will continue to believe that until someone can show a REFEREED journal article.

I don't see why instant coffee should have any chemicals not already in the coffee, especially the freeze-dried (lyophilized) coffee. Freeze-dried coffee is ordinary coffee that is frozen and then sublimated in a vacuum leaving the "little flavor crystals." LOL

Remember you want coffee WITH the caffeine.

I'm not a fan of coffee generally. Don't use it for enemas. I only rarely drink it. When I do, I avoid instant. Even the cheapest house-brand coffee tastes better than even the most expensive instant.

Hey, Prime, I'm with you!! Starbucks coffee is over roasted and too strongly brewed. Over roasting masks the inferiority of mediocre beans and seems to be all the rage now. It's nearly impossible to get a cup of good coffee anywhere today here in California. You have Tim's and farther east there is Dunkin' Donuts; enema is probably the best use of Starbucks!!!

Mickey D's coffee isn't half bad. Maybe the next time I buy a cup, I'll get 2, and try the second one in an enema.

Just wondering about experiences with coffee enemas. I realize there are outlets like S.A.Wilson that sell coffees that are supposed to be formulated specifically for enemas, but is there really any significant difference between regular grocery store coffee vs S.A. Wilson's? No doubt, S.A. Wilson's would say there is, but what about readers actual experiences? What about instant coffee, versus brewed coffee....any experiences with this one? And how about experiences with decaf coffee vs caffinated? Would like to hear actual experiences and effects.

I was hoping to get a reply from someone who had knowledge of, or experience with the enema specific coffes from places like S.A. Wilson, versus regular store bought brands. Is there any difference in effectiveness? No doubt, S.A. Wilson would say there is, but I was looking for a reply from knowledgable coffee enema practitioners.

Ummm... unless you have taste buds in your butt, pretty much coffee is coffee when used for an enema. The rest is all hype, save your money.
