Re: coffee enema
I have adrenal fatigue & coffee enemas help me. You need to read up on coffee enemas, and how they differ drastically from just drinking coffee. If you do them right there is no caffeine buzz, so you know you are not harming your adrenals. Instead of a buzz you get more energy, just what you need. There are also very helpful for cleansing out mercury & just for general detox. This site has been very helpful to me. Lots of people have given me some good advice. However, I have found that I need to search off CZ to get the full picture, as people here are just people, some with good info, some with bad info.
I have read about this in the past. They claim it is the caffeine that stimulates the liver. And it does not matter how the caffeine enters the bloodstream, it is still caffeine and has the same adverse effects. What people are confusing is the energy boost with adrenal function. The adrenals maintain energy through the release of epinephrine, which caffeine causes the adrenals to secrete. When people use caffeine regularly though they suppress adrenal function, which is why they are dragging before they drink the coffee. When they drink the coffee it stimulates the adrenals and their energy comes up so they think it is helping the adrenals. Actually it is suppressing the adrenals even more, which is why in the long run you will hear people say they can take caffeine and go to sleep. Of course, they crashed their adrenals. So the fact that you feel better when you drink caffeine DOES NOT mean it is not having adverse effects on the adrenals. Again caffeine is caffeine. I don't care if you drink it, swallow it in a pill, inject it, snort it or use it in an enema it is still caffeine. It is not being magically converted in to a benign substance just because you absorb it rectally. In fact before hypodermic needles were invented drugs were frequently delivered rectally due to the high absorption rate from the colon due to the high level of capillaries near the surface of the colon wall. These drugs were absorbed just like the caffeine and they were not magically transformed either. They had the same effect as if they would have if they were injected.
