Re: Believing Experience vs Self Trumped Forum Gurus

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding here.

coffee enemas may be good for your health.

Drinking water may be good for your health.

Exercise may be good for your health.

If you have the flu, should you exercise?

If you are suffering water intoxication, should you drink water?

If you have adrenal fatigue, should you take coffee?

Look, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. It hurts me a bit, too, to have you attacking me. I want you and others to be happy and healthy in the end, really I do. I'm trying to get at the truth just like everyone else here. I'm just doing it differently.

If you are attached to the idea of coffee enemas being wonderful, it's going to be upsetting to hear someone disagree. You'll think "But I know coffee enemas work! They can't tell me coffee enemas don't work! They can't call me a liar, especially when I have had personal experience!" I'm not telling you that your personal experience isn't true. I'm not saying you're lying about your experience. I respect the experiences you've had and your feelings about them.

What I don't respect is the act of taking that experience and applying it broadly. People with adrenal fatigue are not normal. Their systems are limping along. We can't be aggressively prescribing for them a solution appropriate for regular, healthy people. Metaphorically, it would be encouraging someone with the flu to exercise. I believe this is a mistake, and a harmful one.

Not every remedy is good for every situation.

Please note that none of these people, Gerson, Cousens, Rogers, or Moss, encourages coffee enemas when the subject has adrenal fatigue. Seek a knowledgeable person like these, someone whom you trust, and ask them specifically about using coffee enemas when the subject has adrenal fatigue.

Listen, just because I disagree with you here doesn't mean that I hate you. The essence of ourselves is not our actions, not our achievements, not or our mistakes. I care about you and wish you well. But I hope we can stop making this particular mistake.

In keeping with the belief that our essences are not the same thing as our achievements and mistakes, I am comfortable with accepting my faults. If I am wrong about caffeine being bad for adrenal fatigue sufferers, that's okay, what is most important is that the truth come clear. Being unattached to being right, having that kind of inner calm, allows me a straighter path to truth. If I'm failing to understand something, I invite you to clarify. I ask that you please don't attack me in the process. Tweet
