Stupidest government enterprise: $406k on coffee enemas.

Want to know where your tax dollars are going? Washington has a rapid response for that one on the ready: stick it up your ass.

No, really.

A recent report carried out by the Chicago Tribune reveals that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine — a branch of the federally-funded National Institutes of Health — has spent around $1.4 billion since it began 12 years ago on finding out, among other things, that coffee enemas aimed up the butt and into the intestines will, believe it or not, not aid in pancreatic cancer treatment. That messy test, reports the Tribune, was made possible thanks to a $406,000 grant.

What other scientific breakthroughs were made possible by your involuntary donations to Uncle Sam? Over half-a-million dollars helped scientists determine that AIDS could not be cured with prayer, and it took $374-grad to come to the conclusion that, contrary to popular belief, sniffing lemon juice will not help heal external wounds.

Dr. Wallace Sampson of Stanford University tells the Tribune that real medical wizzes “don't take public money and invest it in projects that are just made up out of people's imaginations." The government, on the other hand, likes to act on instinct. Such was the case with a study that spent $1.25 million to conclude that, “Hey, people with cancer feel better after being massaged.”

Also keen on massages: people without cancer.

While most of these makeshift science experiments are done without merit, the writer reveals that two-out-of-five American adults say that they’ve used alternative treatments during the last year. The Tribune doesn’t tackle how many people tried the coffee enema — before or after the results of the study — but with the alternative therapy industry raking in around $34 billion annually, the NIH seems to think that their little-known branch of barbaric home remedies is worth American tax dollars, even if it comes to the tune of $1.4 billion.

Think your money could have been better well spent? Take it up with the lawmakers that allow such funding. As RT reported earlier this year, your pennies on the dollar could have ended up elsewhere. After all, $900,000 in government funding recently went to the NIH to determine, among other things, the correlation between penis size and sexual health among gay men.

Infastructure, shminfastructure. These are real investments, America!

I think coffee enemas is part of the detox process during Gerson Therapy for cancer.

That is right and the purpose for the coffee enema is to draw toxins out of your liver..............

[Stappipsy]

What a load of BS. Anytime the gov't funds a study ALWAYS expect the results to be what they intended them to be. A BIG LIE.

Coffee enemas are very therapeutic & encourage healing & detoxification.

The gov't needs one big fat enema on their pitiful arse.

Hmmm... maybe this weekend won't be as boring as I thought!

I wonder if a coffee enema date would impress a gal. Chicks always dig dudes that are interesting, spontaneous, and exciting. It's not hot coffee is it?

Don't forget the classical music.

You know the cute barista that works at the Starbucks near you? Try her first.

Does anyone know offhand what the mechanics are behind coffee detoxing your liver?

Has anyone done blood sample testing to prove it?

Basically nothing helps with certain types of Pancreatic cancer.

Coffee enemas are but one tool in the natural arsenal for curing some types of cancer.

That's not true. Just because doctors haven't helped it doesn't mean that it hasn't been healed.

Enemas (herbal enemas, coffee enemas etc. ) are necessary in natural healing because most diseases
are caused by a toxic unhealthy lower bowel.
Once the bowel is clean then healing can begin, but not until then.
Heal the bowel = heal the immune system = rest of the body can get healthy.

Don't it worked out too well, but they may have done it wrong.

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one. Not surprised this wasn't very effective. It doesn't mean enemas aren't effective against other types of cancer though.

[arindiruppya]

I'd much rather go on a coffee enema date than a chemo date. Chemo's a bitch.

What about just drinking coffee though? I drink a lot of coffee (work related). I could probably drink more if convinced it was healthy.

I think enemas is just a buzzword, it's healthy, healing, good for the body/soul, yada yada...but how many folks actually take the plunge and get a coffee enema? I bet less than 0% of normal health-minded folks. By that account, how accurate could these facts actually be?

Most health minded folks have only scratched the surface on natural healing & haven't even gotten their feet wet yet actually.
Coffee is good only when it's used for medicinal purposes or occasional drinking & not constant , chronic drinking of it.
(Too bad I'm addicted to it toooo ! Yikes ! I do take breaks from it, tho)

I understand that. But with some cancers, by the time they are discovered, natural methods just can't get the job done. Chemo and radiation don't work either.

And I say this as an owner of an herb company. I have seen too many people turn to natural remedies after they have exhausted all the traditional Western medicine therapies or have their cancers discovered at such a late stage that nothing works.

There is always hope. Any one individual can buck the odds and get lucky, but for some, when cancer is discovered, it is game over.

Agreeeed ! Yes, once discovered & going to the doctors will kill you faster than the actual course of the cancer killing you.
Also tumors are not the cancer. They are symptoms of the cancer. Modern Medicine WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS. NEVER.

If enemas are not your thing, another way to clean the lower bowels is called the "Salt Water Flush"

You essentially drink salt water that is of such a salinity (can't be too much or too little) and at that specific gravity, your body cannot absorb it. I forget the ratio, you'd have to look it up, but it's something like a cup of salt per quart of water. You warm the water and drink it, and it's true that your body cannot absorb it. Within an hour it comes out your back end. A few of these will clean out your whole digestive tract.
