Re: coffee colonics and heavy metals

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone....

I'm still learning about all this so please forgive if this is a silly

question...

Can anyone tell me if coffee colonics might be contra indicated for someone with

high levels of mercury and other metals? The reason I ask: After having one, I

had almost a week of abdominal soreness and loose stools, which I don't have

with a regular colonic. I also have a new symptom: acute pain upon touching the

top of one foot, feels like the nerves perhaps....It's been 3 weeks and it's not

going away. I was concerned that perhaps it could be a case of

redistribution.....I'm not chelating right now, so maybe this wasn't such a good

idea for me.

Does the liver store metals and excrete them in the bile or am

I not correct on that? I think the coffee may stimulate the bile action

somehow....

Thanks for any help you can give....

Taurine helps with bile and would be less invasive.

Hi, I've never heard of a coffee colonic and I'm a certified colon

hydrotherapist. Do you mean a coffee enema (ie with an enema bag, rather than a

colonic machine gravity or pump fed)? If a coffee enema you did yourself using

enema bag, did you follow strict instructions (ie lie on right side with knees

drawn up and use only 2 cups coffee water and don't move a muscle for 11

minutes, then get up--very different from a regular enema, which is on left side

and more water and moving around)? If you did move or did a colonic machine

coffee colonic, the caffeine goes all through your system. The enema bag way

with strict protocol, your body doesn't absorb the caffeine. It just opens bile

ducts to discharge liver. I can't imagine a situation where I'd even experiment

on giving myself a coffee colonic. Wondering where your colonic therapist

learned this.

Coffee enema with strict protocol--well, I never had a side-effect except when I

strayed from instructions and moved around a little--then I was up ALL night

cleaning the windows till 4am!

It's a pretty hit and run approach to cleaning the liver tho; very harsh, for

use in emergency circumstances, in just my opinion. It shocks the liver into

releasing. I prefer liver cleansing a la Hulda 's homemade method or a Dr

Schulze liver cleanse from herbdoc.com. Even that can make you feel mighty yukky

if your liver has a lot of toxins stored up in stones/prestones. Sounds like you

may have reabsorbed some toxins, which makes you feel even worse. Doesn't mean

stop cleaning the liver, in my experience; means clean it more. BUT if you're

chelating, then I am not the person to ask, since I don't know about

cross-reactions between colonics, liver cleanses, and chelation. Would love to

hear, though, others experience/expertise.

Also, if you ate meat around the time of colonic or any kind of fat, that's a

huge amount of stress on the liver as it purges. Usu with liver cleanse, you're

told not to eat fat for 48 hrs or so and to do raw fruit/veggies only. I

experienced black feelings when doing liver cleanses first few times--I'm pretty

sure that was heavy metals. I don't know what the Cutler recommendations are on

liver cleansing/colonics. I'd be interested to hear. I don't practice any more

as a colon hydrotherapist, but am interested to hear about whether colonics is a

good complement to the Cutler method, since I can always re-add that to my

health protocol.

best wishes and happy holidays,

Fiona

If you are mercury toxic, it's not recommended by Andy Cutler to attempt liver

cleansing. It's very hard on the liver and can create more problems for you.

Easier is to take milk thistle four times a day and taurine to support your

liver while you remove your amalgams and work towards low frequent dose

chelation.

Coffee does contain caffeine which may be a problem for you if you have poor

adrenal function. As do most people with mercury poisoning.

have you tried taking some activated charcoal?

Fiona,

Not my discussion, but you should check the company that gave you the

certification. Coffee Colonics were HUGE in L.A. in the nineties. Especially

with the Celebrity crowd.

They do it in Australia right now. Along with Fecal enema's. Which have a rich

history of working extremely well. YUK, I know, but they do it and it works.

They have also conducted fecal enema's in Great Britain with great results.

Coffee enema's happen on a regular basis today. But I can find no place that

still does coffee colonics. Although I would not be surprised to find a place in

L.A. or a resort in Palm Springs.
