First published 2011
Lee Smith examines an ancient practice that sounds absurd to modern ears: using coffee as an enema. This naturopath and food safety expert tackles the uncomfortable question of whether kitchen cupboard remedies can reduce morphine dependence, boost liver function, and help the body detoxify. Smith contrasts medical and holistic approaches to health challenges, drawing from both historical records and personal experience. His own journey included five years of expensive pharmaceutical treatments for kidney disease and six months on disability before he embraced veganism and alternative healing methods. The book explores how coffee enemas work alongside vegan diets and juice fasting, examining whether the body can overcome serious health problems through nutritional techniques. Smith presents this controversial practice without medical jargon, focusing on the practical aspects and the commitment required for holistic healing approaches.
