Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 My dad started chemo a few weeks ago and is doing well thanks to S/OPC (his doctors have been quite impressed). I would like to have him start coffee enema but am a little bit worried because I read on the Internet that chemotherapy drugs can be accumulated in the tissues over time (he has been on the 5-FU based pills for more than 1 year), and coffee enema may cause a release of a large amount of toxins. Has anyone here tried coffee enema after being treated with chemo? Should we be concerned? Any tips for avoiding any side effects? Thanks, Tamaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I do chemo and coffee enemas. I'm not sure what you might be referring to but I have had no problems whatsoever, and always feel much better after the enema. (You notice I say "after" the enema --- I'm not a great fan of the "during" part. Oh well, nome of this is fun.)

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Jan, Thank you so much for your response. I feel better now about coffee enema for my dad. I got the idea from some of the web sites about Gerson Therapy. For example: http://www.gerson.org/FAQ/faq.php?faq=20 I guess they are talking about the intense Gerson Therapy causing a massive detox. Doing coffee enema a few times a week or even once a day is probably safe (I hope). Tamaki oleander soup , Jan Knight <waikikilights wrote: > > I do chemo and coffee enemas.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Tamaki, It sounds like your dad has been on chemo for over one year already. 5-FU was given to my mother in 1980 as an experimental drug when she had ovarian cancer. It put her into a hepatic coma from which she never recovered, and died shortly thereafter. What chemo is he taking now.... and what type of cancer are the " treating " ?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi Bob, He has stomach cancer that was metastasized to liver, lung, and a lymph node. He had total gastrectomy 3 years ago. Since his cancer metastasized to liver about 2 years ago, he has been on and off the 5-FU based pills called TS1. New metastasis was recently found in his lung and lymph node, and now he is on Irinotecan and TS1. When his tumor was removed from his liver, we had the tumor tested for chemo-sensitivity. 5-FU and Irinotecan were the only 2 drugs tested positive. Fortunately, his liver is doing well so far, and we would like to protect the liver with coffee enema and supplements such as milk thistle.
