Re: Diverticuli - Herbs to avoid?

 I have major adrenal issues and the coffee enemas don't cause them to crash. High colonics DO. (in my experience)

If you already have major adrenal issues then how can you tell  if you are crashing them or not?

Good point on the tannins. But again - I'd much rather flush the liver and remove the toxins. I can replenish with kefir.

For those of us who are very sick (cancer, Lyme, etc) we can't pitter patter around with constipation and circulating toxins.

Bitters not only stimulate the liver to flush, but they also stimulate peristalsis of the intestines thus helping with the elimination of toxins, but without crashing the adrenals from the caffeine in the coffee.

I've done ALL of the anti-constipation remedies out there and none come even close to doing what an enema does.


I can understand why people are against them - but trying stopping a really sick patient from doing something that helps.
(and when I say help - I mean it feels like the weight of the world is off my shoulders after coffee enemas)

Nobody is stopping anyone here.  But people need to be aware of the dangers of practices such as coffee enemas as well and safer alternatives they can choose from.  Unfortunately I have seen too many times coffee enema supporters claim that the caffeine magically does not over stimulate the adrenals when taken rectally as opposed to orally.  Nothing can be further from the truth.  Caffeine is caffeine and has a stimulatory effect whether through an enema, ingested orally, snorted, injected or any other means people can conceive to get it in to their systems.
