Re: I need support...
Please provide evidence that CE's hurt gut flora or deplete minerals.
If anything the opposite is true, since as you say they were designed for cancer patients (which is untrue, just because Gerson used them as part of the protocol it doesn't mean they were designed for cancer patients - look in the Merck manual circa 1900 and you will see
coffee enemas as a veritable cure-all for many diseases).
Colonics can sometimes deplete people of minerals because of the volume of water that is involved. Enemas are typically done with 1 - 1.5 liters of fluid, which is not enough to deplete anything.
Further, coffee beans as a whole food are mineral rich, and will supply minerals, not leech. Doing many successive plain
water enemas can possibly leech minerals, but nowhere near the level of colonics, which people survive just fine.
It is likely that adverse reactions to
coffee enemas are the result of not doing enough, where the person has provoked a cleansing process and not followed through. Like liver flushes, one is not enough, and it is advisable to follow through for many months or longer until desired results are obtained.
