Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 , Would looking at the INR (the ratio) be equivalent? Isn't it standard procedure to check the INR of people who are on Coumadin. Is it true that coffee enemas is contraindicative for a perforated large intestine . Your thoughts? Any other contraindications? Do you see any anti-cancer merit in Coumadin? similar (or perhaps different) to those of Dipyridamole? Regards, Gubi Re: [ ] Re: Coffee enemas and blood thinners > Yes, it is enough, but wait a week.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hello Gubi, The INR is still prothrombin time. It is just a method of standardization. Patients do what they have access to. If a person has a perforated colon then he/she would have far greater problems than worrying about coffee enemas. Gubi, colonics are safely given millions of times a day all over the world for bowel disturbances of almost every kind. These are administered by mothers, therapists, nurses, and by the recipient. Almost anything you can think of to squirt up the rectum has been tried many times over. This includes everything from hydrogen peroxide to grape Kool-Aid. For a perforated colon I would not be surprised to learn that someone has tried an inner-tube sealant. Nor would I be surprised if it worked. If you are doing colon hydrotherapy as part of your consultation with clients you might hang a picture of Louis XI in your clyster room. King Louis was not only an enema addict but he would have enemas given to all his dogs. So pleased was he with his Italian impresario of clysters (Angelo Catho) that he awarded him a 60,000 franc pension. Remember that when you ring up your bill. Avoid doing clients with low platelets, ascites, or portal hypertension. Coumadin does not work like dipyridamole. If you are using a high-dose ascorbate-menadione protocol then you might feel more comfortable giving nattokinase with it. Stick to the natural whenever you can.
