Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 thea, I thought I remembered something on this. Msg #38618 is copied below from Doc, himself. Enjoy! Ann One cup of coffee a day is actually somewhat beneficial for your nervous system. Over one cup however, and you're placing a stress on your heart and your entire cardiovascular system. I know a guy who drinks 15 POTS a day and refuses to cut back. These are the types I'm talking about, the ones who are not willing to make any lifestyle changes ;o) Love, Doc I'm sure this has been asked before. How bad is coffee? I only have 1 big cup a day and it's lite. But I'm really stressed these days. Hard time sleeping and I go to work and I find that I'm telling myself to breathe.. A bit uptight. But I hate to get rid of my 1 cup. Any suggestions? Thea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Caroline, When I asked the Doc about this when I was finishing my first cleanse he told me that 1 cup of coffee per day can actually be good for you. I forget the specifics of why, but maybe he'll post the reason for us! Anyway, he gave me the answer I wanted to hear! He also said that MORE than one cup is NOT good. Goes past the beneficial point then. Other tips were - get organic coffee, and not decaf unless you research it yourself and are SURE they use no chemicals in the decaf process. I would also recommend that whatever you're adding in (half/half or milk) be organic as well. Cheers!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yup! He told me the same thing. You can get organic coffee at Starbucks if your local Co-op or HFS does not carry it. DH likes to use Half and half and so he only uses organic. You should also be bale to get this at your local Co-op or HFS.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Great! Thanks....I'll make sure my coffee is strictly organic...as well as my half & half...thank goodness I can keep my coffee...it is truly one of those silly pleasures I get...and you know how we mom's need to keep as many of these pleasures as we can!! lol I actually had my first cup of coffee this morning since last Thursday...so it really isn't something I have every day...and I would not go decaf...the thought of decaf coffee has always bothered me...because the thought of taking the coffee bean and making it something it isn't...never seemed right to me.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 This is true. The specifics are: One cup a day will give you the benefits of the coffee bean herb that assist in nerve regeneration. More than one cup a day, and this reverses, and additionally becomes very hard on the heart and the adrenals. Best is to drink it black, or at the very least, use only certified organic "RAW" milk or cream, preferably from a source you personally know. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 For all the anti-java zealots out there in TCM land, I recommend Subhuti Dharmananda'a look at the herbal analysis of our controversial bean (see below for link), and its health benefits and problems. There is much research out there showing that, statistically, coffee drinking can prevent a whole host of diseases, probably by circulating qi and vaporizing phlegm through stoking the heart fire. Of course, in some people and in excessive amounts, it can be bad, like any herb, and also it is probably best drunk black, which is rare, at least in the US. http://www.itmonline.org/arts/coffee.htm Benjamin Hawes, MAOM, Lic.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I guess my bubble was a bust, Gano coffee does have caffeine in it. whoever asked about a no caffeine coffee, I apologize for the misinformation. June june1 Re: Coffee Good Morning...you probably tried the Classic. If you likesugar you will like the Gano 3-1...I love it but add a littlebit of half and half. The wholesale cost for the 3-1 is $7.50- the over all range is from 7$ to 8.50 with the Schokoladebeing $11.50. I believe the cost - per packet - is around$.37 - to $.44 which is cheap compared to the healthbenefits it provides.Some people are saying they like it equallyas well as Starbucks and one could whip it up like a latteusing the coffee. The good thing it only has 8.5 gr.of caffeine where regular coffee has 100 to 180 mg. Andof course it has the Reishi Mushroom extract that hasreally been helping diabetics and people with cancer.I just heard this week that even people with HIV, MSand other problems are being helped. The ones withhealth challenges use the coffee and take the Ganodermain capsules. There are some awesome testimoniescoming from people.I can send you some more samples to pass out if youwant to test the waters.Love....granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Coffee causes Cancer JoAnn Guest Aug 02, 2005 18:48 PDT www.amazingdiet.org Caffeine is the world's most popular stimulant. The drug four out of five Americans take on any given day. Most of the caffeine we consume comes from coffee. The United States buys nearly one-half of the world supply of coffee beans. It is said that a food service operation can stand or fall on its reputation of the coffee it serves. Every mid-morning and mid- afternoon working day millions of office and factory workers abandon jobs for an employer-paid " coffee break. " Over 15,000,000 Americans are hooked on coffee; and most of them don't even know it, so insidious is its addictive onslaught. The child or adult may unknowingly ingest several hundred milligrams of caffeine daily. Like narcotics, alcohol or cigarettes, coffee and caffeinated beverages are addictive, destructive drugs which each year predispose millions of Americans to crippling illnesses and sometimes fatal diseases. Coffee and tea are the two most popular beverages in America. Less than 9 percent of the population drink neither coffee nor tea. Coffee is America's No. 1 drug problem. CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL Caffeine withdrawal can occur from just missing one cup of coffee in the morning. Symptoms of caffeine withdrawal are headaches, irritability, inability to work effectively, nervousness, restlessness and lethargy. A steady user of caffeine may, at times, experience tight headaches in the back of the neck area and be quick to anger or irritation. CAFFEINE ACTS AS A STIMULANT Caffeine is a toxic stimulant. Body reactions are speeded up. This is not a natural thing for the body. What it does is activate The Fight or Flight Response. Executive Fitness Newsletter, October 13, 1984, stated: " It's important to remember that the caffeine in coffee is a powerful substance. It can stimulate the central nervous system, increase heartbeat and metabolic rate, increase the secretion of stomach acid, and step up secretion of stomach acid, and step up kidney and bladder action. It's also well known for its annoying ability to affect sleep. " The article goes on to say that in higher doses, caffeine can cause " coffee nerves " with a wide assortment of symptoms " including anxiety, irritability, headaches, light-headedness, nausea and diarrhea. " Coffee can cause a temporary 'increase " in blood sugar, but it is quickly followed by a decrease, and stimulates the release of " adrenalin " , which causes body tissues to be " broken down " into " sugar " and " fat " . Too much insulin is produced, and the blood sugar falls to a low level. CAFFEINE IS A POISON Caffeine, which is the main chemical in coffee, is a powerful poison! A drop of caffeine injected into the skin of an animal will produce death within a few minutes. An infinitely small amount injected into the brain will cause convulsions. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is quite small. Yet we drink coffee because of the effect of the caffeine, just as we smoke because of the effect of the nicotine. Both are drugs, both are habit-forming! Both are poisons COFFEE-DRINKING & STOMACH ULCERS Two modern disorders: The general public usually associates with coffee drinking — ulcers and heart trouble. J.A. Roth and A.C. Ivy, whose animal experiments on coffee are famous, states in Gastroenterology, November, 1948: " Caffeine " produces " gastro-duodenal ulcers in animals to whom the drug is given in a beeswax container so that their stomachs are absorbing caffeine continually. Also, caffeine produces very definite changes in the blood vessels of animals, which are similar to changes produced by " prolonged " resentment hostility and anxiety. " COFFEE LINKED TO HIP FRACTURES The Providence Journal wrote in October 1, 1990: " People who drink more than two cups of coffee or four cups of tea a day could be increasing their risk of hip fracture in old age, according to a new study. " The study, published in the October issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, is the first to link caffeine consumption with hip fractures that occur in older people whose bones have weakened. A hip fracture often marks an elderly person's final decline into dependency or death. " Dr. Douglas P. Kiel, a professor of medicine at Brown University, and his colleagues looked at how much coffee or tea 3,170 people reported drinking over 14 years. Then they looked to see which ones fractured their hips, a sign that bones had become brittle. They found that heavy caffeine drinkers were 53 percent more likely to suffer hip fractures. " Caffeine has long been suspected of " draining " calcium from the bones, because people who consume it have higher levels of calcium in their " urine " . Loss of calcium leads to osteoporosis, the brittle-bone condition that afflicts many elderly people, and results in an estimated 250,000 hip fractures each year. " INFERTILITY Trying to become pregnant? Then you should stop drinking caffinated drinks. Among 104 women who drank junst one cup of caffinated coffee a daywere half as likely to become pregnant during any given menstrual cycle as those who drank less, accoding to a 1988 study by Allen Wilcox of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Most of the studies conducted since then have also found that caffeine impairs fertility, but usually only at three or more cups of regular coffee a day. But the research is only as good or bad-as the women's memories. For example, scientists at Johns Hopkins University found that among 2,500 women who were trying to become pregnant, consuming more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day reduced their chances of succeeding in any given month by 17 percent. But those results were based on the amount of coffee and soft drinks the women could remember having consumed as many as ten years earlier. Even so, " it's probably prudent for women who are trying to become pregnant, and especially for those having trouble, to cut back on caffeine, " says Mark Klebanoff of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland. DOES COFFEE CAUSE CANCER? There is mounting evidence suggesting that if you want to avoid certain cancers, you are well-advised to kick the coffee habit. Roasting coffee " produces " tars and has the same characteristic as coal tar. - One study revealed that not only was coffee drinking associated with increased risk of bladder cancer, but the drinking of cola drinks also was linked to this problem. - Coffee drinking increases the risk of birth defects. - Coffee drinking increases blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease. It is commonly thought that the drinking of coffee, soft drinks, and other caffinated drinks is a minor matter as far as our healh is concerned. But is it? We cannot estimate its effect on mind and emotions, discrimination and judgment. And then there is the harmful effects of the stimulation on the heart and other vital organs. Coffee and other caffeine beverages are poor substitutes for water. The body need fluids, but not stimulating drugs. Giving up the coffee habit is relatively easy to do for most folks — once a commitment has been made. Since caffeine is a less toxic drug than alcohol and street drugs, the majority of coffee drinkers can give up the habit without the sort of difficulties that both alcoholics and drug addicts typically experience. While it is true that caffeine has been around a long time, that is not necessarily its best endrsement. Russian roulette has been around for some time, too! When giving up caffeine eat and drink nothing that does not contribute in some way to good nutrition for the body. Any food or drink that contains neither vitamins, minerals or enzymes should automatically be crossed off the list. While breaking " the coffee habit " be sure to drink plenty of fresh juices and water. " Just how widespread is coffee drinking? The average American drinks over twenty-six gallons of coffee per year, but perhaps more germane to the discussion is caffeine itself. Coffee has over three hundred chemicals; caffeine is only one of them. " - Carol Simontacchi, The Crazy Makers By Katy Chamberlin - References: 1. Charles F.

Hardinge, M.D., A Philosophy of Health, Loma Linda University, CA. http://www.amazingdiet.org/ -- COFFEE CONSUMPTION IN REGARDS TO CANCER -- When coffee is roasted, the carcinogen, " benzopyrene " is formed. There have also been identified two other possible 'carcinogens' found in coffee. In 1981 I had an exchange with Professor Brian MacMahon of the Harvard School of Public Health. He had completed a study in the Boston area discovering that even the consumption of three cups of coffee a day increased the risks of contracting pancreatic cancer by a factor of 2.7. The study presented us with conclusive evidence that coffee consumption was linked to at least 50% of all pancreatic cancers. He stopped drinking coffee, replacing coffee with tea in his office. In England prior to 1948 people there drank tea and very little coffee. However, after 1948, there was a vast increase in coffee drinking in England, Dr. Tim Spencer of the St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London in 1981 cast much light on the MacMahon study. He plotted the importation of coffee into England between 1948 and 1973. During that time, the importation of coffee increased by 120%. Also during that time the death rate from pancreatic cancer in England increased by 50%. Dr. A.J. McMichael in Australia reviewed the MacMahon and Spencer reports and had this to add. He gave reference to the fact that coffee drinking greatly increased the 'production' of the " intestinal hormone " , 'gastrin'. He said that in minor animals, coffee frequently stimulates the production of gastrin, and gastrin stimulates " pancreatic hyperplasia " and " neoplasia " . In 1985 Ana Marie Comary Schally of Tulane University reported that pancreatic cancer seems to be " hormone induced " . Coffee drinking in the USA has remained much the same over the past 100 years but during that time there has been a vast increase in deaths from pncreatic cancer. It is suggested that something very similar is happening with pancreatic cancer as has happened previously with lung cancer and that is that the increase in pancreatic cancer has been the 'direct result' of the " combination " of coffee drinking and the three-fold increase of " immuno-suppressive " 'polyunsaturated fats " in the diet. There is a reference to support this concept. D.F. Brik of our National Cancer Institute had reported in 1981 that " pancreatic cancer " 'increased' when *corn oil* was added to the diets of golden hamsters. From an article published by the " Townsend Letter " , " Some Real Causes of heart Disease & Cancer " , by Wayne Martin Caffeine,the main chemical in coffee, is a potential poison! Just a small drop of caffeine injected into the skin of test animals produces *death* within just a few minutes. An infinitely small amount injected into the " brain " causes " convulsions " . There is mounting evidence suggesting that if you want to avoid certain terminal cancers, you would be well-advised to " kick " the 'coffee habit'. Roasting coffee produces tars and has similar characteristics as coal tar. - One recent study revealed that not only was coffee consumption associated with increased risk of bladder cancer, but the consumption of cola drinks was frequently linked to this problem as well. - Coffee drinking increases the risk of birth defects. - Coffee drinking increases blood pressure, also greatly increasing the risks of more serious cardiovascular disease. It is commonly thought that the consumption of coffee, soft drinks, and other 'caffinated' drinks is a minor matter as far as our health is concerned. But is it? We cannot estimate its " effect " on mind and emotions, discrimination and judgment. And then there is the harmful effects of the " stimulation " on the heart, adrenals and other vital organs. Coffee and other caffeine beverages are poor substitutes for water. The body needs quite large amounts of fluids, however it doesn't 'thrive' on stimulating drugs. _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjo- DietaryTi- www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Genes AIM Barleygreen " Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future " http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Coffee, as well as colas which are also mentioned in this info, cause acidic conditions in the body. You've all heard this from me at least a hundred times. Acidic conditions in the body cause cancer as well as many other forms of degenerative disease. Alkalinity is what will keep us heathy. No disease, not even cancer, can live in a totally alkaline environment. That is why I preach so much about increasing alkalinity and strengthening the immune system. Stay away from the coffes and colas. The withdrawal symptoms from caffeine aren't easy to deal with but do eventually go away. I never drank coffee, but when I gave up Pepsi (in the mid 80s) I got really bad headaches and couldn't sleep at night. This only lasted for a couple of weeks though. Small sacrifice to make if you goal is to increase your life expectancy! Great info again, Kel!

What it does is activate The Fight or Flight Response.Executive Fitness Newsletter, October 13, 1984,stated: "It's important to remember that the caffeine incoffee is a powerful substance. It can stimulate the central nervoussystem, increase heartbeat and metabolic rate, increase the secretionof stomach acid, and step up secretion of stomach acid, and step up kidney and bladder action. It's also well known for its annoying ability toaffect sleep." The article goes on to say that in higher doses,caffeine can cause "coffee nerves" with a wide assortment of symptoms"including anxiety, irritability, headaches, light-headedness,nausea and diarrhea." Coffee can cause a temporary 'increase" in bloodsugar, but it is quickly followed by a decrease, and stimulates therelease of "adrenalin", which causes body tissues to be "brokendown" into "sugar" and "fat".Too much insulin is produced, and the blood sugarfalls to a low level. CAFFEINE IS A POISON Caffeine, which is the main chemical in coffee, is apowerful poison! A drop of caffeine injected into the skin ofan animal will produce death within a few minutes. An infinitely small amount injected into the brainwill cause convulsions. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is quitesmall. Yet we drink coffee because of the effect of the caffeine, just as we smoke because of the effect of thenicotine. Both are drugs, both are habit-forming! Both are poisons COFFEE-DRINKING & STOMACH ULCERS Two modern disorders: The general public usuallyassociates with coffee drinking — ulcers and heart trouble. J.A. Rothand A.C. Ivy, whose animal experiments on coffee are famous, statesin Gastroenterology, November, 1948: "Caffeine "produces" gastro-duodenal ulcers in animalsto whom the drug is given in a beeswax container so thattheir stomachs are absorbing caffeine continually.Also, caffeine produces very definite changes in theblood vessels of animals, which are similar to changes produced by"prolonged" resentment hostility and anxiety." COFFEE LINKED TO HIP FRACTURES The Providence Journal wrote in October 1, 1990:"People who drink more than two cups of coffee or four cups of tea a daycould be increasing their risk of hip fracture in old age,according to a new study. "The study, published in the October issue of theAmerican Journal of Epidemiology, is the first to link caffeineconsumption with hip fractures that occur in older people whose bones haveweakened. A hip fracture often marks an elderly person's finaldecline into dependency or death. "Dr. Douglas P. Kiel, a professor of medicine at BrownUniversity, and his colleagues looked at how much coffee or tea3,170 people reported drinking over 14 years. Then they looked to see which ones fractured theirhips, a sign that bones had become brittle. They found that heavycaffeine drinkers were 53 percent more likely to suffer hip fractures. "Caffeine has long been suspected of "draining"calcium from the bones, because people who consume it have higherlevels of calcium in their "urine".Loss of calcium leads to osteoporosis,the brittle-bone condition that afflicts many elderly people, andresults in an estimated 250,000 hip fractures each year." INFERTILITY Trying to become pregnant? Then you should stop drinking caffinated drinks.Among 104 women who drank junst one cup of caffinatedcoffee a daywere half as likely to become pregnant during anygiven menstrual cycle as those who drank less, accoding to a 1988study by Allen Wilcox of the National Institute of EnvironmentalHealth Sciences in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Most of the studies conducted since then have alsofound that caffeine impairs fertility, but usually only at threeor more cups of regular coffee a day. But the research is only as good or bad-as the women'smemories. For example, scientists at Johns Hopkins University foundthat among 2,500 women who were trying to become pregnant,consuming more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day reduced their chancesof succeeding in any given month by 17 percent. But those results were based on the amount of coffee and soft drinks the women couldremember having consumed as many as ten years earlier. Even so, "it's probably prudent for women who aretrying to become pregnant, and especially for those having trouble, tocut back on caffeine," says Mark Klebanoff of the NationalInstitute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland. DOES COFFEE CAUSE CANCER? There is mounting evidence suggesting that if you wantto avoid certain cancers, you are well-advised to kick thecoffee habit. Roasting coffee "produces"tars and has the same characteristic as coal tar. - One study revealed that not only was coffee drinkingassociated with increased risk of bladder cancer, but thedrinking of cola drinks also was linked to this problem. - Coffee drinking increases the risk of birth defects.- Coffee drinking increases blood pressure, increasingthe risk of heart disease. It is commonly thought that the drinking of coffee,soft drinks, and other caffinated drinks is a minor matter as far asour healh is concerned. But is it? We cannot estimate its effect on mind and emotions, discrimination and judgment. And then there is the harmful effects of thestimulation on the heart and other vital organs. Coffee and other caffeine beverages are poorsubstitutes for water. The body need fluids, but not stimulating drugs. Giving up the coffee habit is relatively easy to dofor most folks — once a commitment has been made. Since caffeine is a less toxic drug than alcohol andstreet drugs, the majority of coffee drinkers can give up the habitwithout the sort of difficulties that both alcoholics and drugaddicts typically experience. While it is true that caffeine has beenaround a long time, that is not necessarily its best endrsement. Russian roulette has been around for some time, too! When giving up caffeine eat and drink nothing thatdoes not contribute in some way to good nutrition for the body.Any food or drink that contains neither vitamins,minerals or enzymes should automatically be crossed off the list. While breaking"the coffee habit" be sure to drink plenty of fresh juices andwater. "Just how widespread is coffee drinking? The average American drinks over twenty-six gallons of coffee per year, butperhaps more germane to the discussion is caffeine itself. Coffee has over three hundred chemicals; caffeine is only one of them." - Carol Simontacchi, The Crazy Makers By Katy Chamberlin -References: 1. Charles F.

There have also been identified two other possible'carcinogens' found in coffee. In 1981 I had an exchange with Professor BrianMacMahon of the Harvard School of Public Health. He had completed a study in the Boston areadiscovering that even the consumption of three cups of coffee a day increasedthe risks of contracting pancreatic cancer by a factor of 2.7. The study presented us with conclusive evidence thatcoffee consumption was linked to at least 50% of all pancreatic cancers. He stopped drinking coffee, replacing coffee with teain his office. In England prior to 1948 people there drank tea andvery little coffee. However, after 1948, there was a vast increase incoffee drinking in England, Dr. Tim Spencer of the St. Bartholomew'sHospital in London in 1981 cast much light on the MacMahon study. He plottedthe importation of coffee into England between 1948 and 1973. During that time, the importation of coffee increasedby 120%. Also during that time the death rate from pancreatic cancerin England increased by 50%. Dr. A.J. McMichael in Australia reviewed the MacMahonand Spencer reports and had this to add. He gave reference to the fact that coffee drinkinggreatly increased the 'production' of the "intestinal hormone",'gastrin'. He said that in minor animals, coffee frequentlystimulates the production of gastrin, and gastrin stimulates"pancreatic hyperplasia" and "neoplasia". In 1985 Ana Marie Comary Schally of Tulane Universityreported that pancreatic cancer seems to be "hormone induced". Coffee drinking in the USA has remained much the sameover the past 100 years but during that time there has been a vastincrease in deaths from pncreatic cancer. It is suggested that something very similar ishappening with pancreatic cancer as has happened previously with lung cancer andthat is that the increase in pancreatic cancer has been the 'direct result' of the "combination" of coffee drinking and thethree-fold increase of "immuno-suppressive" 'polyunsaturated fats" in the diet. There is a reference to support this concept.D.F. Brik of our National Cancer Institute hadreported in 1981 that "pancreatic cancer" 'increased' when *corn oil* was added to the diets of golden hamsters. From an article published by the "Townsend Letter", "Some Real Causes of heart Disease & Cancer", by WayneMartin Caffeine,the main chemical in coffee, is a potentialpoison! Just a small drop of caffeine injected into the skin of testanimals produces *death* within just a few minutes. An infinitely small amount injected into the "brain"causes "convulsions". There is mounting evidence suggesting that if you wantto avoid certain terminal cancers, you would be well-advised to"kick" the 'coffee habit'. Roasting coffee produces tars and has similarcharacteristics as coal tar. - One recent study revealed that not only was coffeeconsumption associated with increased risk of bladder cancer, butthe consumption of cola drinks was frequently linked to this problem aswell. - Coffee drinking increases the risk of birth defects.- Coffee drinking increases blood pressure, alsogreatly increasing the risks of more serious cardiovascular disease. It is commonly thought that the consumption of coffee,soft drinks, and other 'caffinated' drinks is a minor matter as far asour health is concerned. But is it? We cannot estimate its "effect" on mind and emotions,discrimination and judgment. And then there is the harmful effects ofthe "stimulation" on the heart, adrenals and other vital organs. Coffee and other caffeine beverages are poorsubstitutes for water. The body needs quite large amounts of fluids, howeverit doesn't 'thrive' on stimulating drugs. _________________JoAnn Guest mrsjo- DietaryTi- www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Genes AIM Barleygreen "Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future" http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
