Hi Moonwatcher - yes, I'll take definitely relatively better than before, too! progress is progress after all.
Hey Leslie,
I don't know much about coffee enemas. I have heard about them, mostly glowing anecdotal testimonies, and I did read a couple of studies that suggested that they are effective for pain relief in cancer patients (maybe in other kinds of patients, too, but cancer patients with extreme pain and advanced cancer were the subjects of the studies.)
I have also read things about people getting addicted to them and one woman dying as a result, although she was doing something like 20 coffee enemas a day, so that could be the main reason. I have not been able to find any evidence that they were harmful, or that they were harmless, that I trusted 100% at least.
I have not written them off as something to try, but I am not really sure about them either. I'd like to say they are safer than other kinds of pain treatments, but I don't really know if they are. they are a big mystery.
I wish someone would study them officially, so we could put it all to rest one way or the other! But I guess not much money would be made off of them if they were effective, so perhaps it will not ever happen.
