Are Coffee Colonics The Real Thing?

Some people claim that they provide immediate relief to toxicity symptoms, such as congestion, indigestion, pain and headaches. Coffee colonics detoxify the liver, as well as cleans the colon.

There are even some small studies that suggest that coffee colonics can aid in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

There is a special circulatory system between this portion of the colon and the liver. At the very end of the colon, before reaching the rectum, is an "S" shaped segments called the sigmoid colon.

This is because stool at this point in the colon contains putrefied material and needs to be handled carefully in order to avoid toxicity leaking into the bloodstream.

This system of veins enables toxins to be sent directly to the liver for detoxification, rather than them passing through the bloodstream to the rest of the body and vital organs.

During coffee colonics, the caffeine in the coffee goes straight to the liver where it becomes an extremely strong detoxifying chemical called glutathione-S-transferase. The coffee itself also stimulates the liver to make more bile.

The bile comes from the gallbladder and draws out environmental and metabolic toxins, as well as the toxins from Candida albicans and other parasitic organisms. The colon is responsible for ridding the body of these toxins.

In addition, the liver is then stimulated to produce enzymes that clean the blood since it's no longer needing to work as strenuously on the colon. The coffee itself never enters the bloodstream as long as the coffee colonic is performed properly.

Only organic coffee can be used for coffee colonics. Non-organic coffees contain herbicides and pesticides that will hinder the coffee colonics healing properties, as do instant and decaffeinated coffees.

Organic coffee is available through natural food stores, both in person or online.

How often you perform coffee colonics really just depends on what your goals may be. In the first few months of a more intensive regimen, many people prefer to take a coffee colonics as many as three to seven times each.

For people in a more relaxed regimen or in the latter, established stages of an intensive regimen, this is much too much.

At this point, it is recommended that you limit your colonics to only when you feel they are needed; you may feel constipated, have Candida overgrowth, or just generally feel out of sorts.

Currently, there is a clinical trial underway at the Columbia University Department of Surgery to test the so-called "The Gonzales Protocol."

(1) This clinical trial is currently in its Phase III randomized study after the first two phases showed as much as three times the average life expectancy for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

(2) The Gonzales Protocol involves a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, supplements, and detoxifying colonics, including coffee colonics.

In this study of seventy-two to ninety patients, half will receive standard chemotherapy and half with receive The Gonzales Protocol. The doctor hopes to recreate the promising results found in his pilot study in this more involved Phase III clinical trial.

While many within the medical community find The Gonzales Protocol extremely difficult to accept, it's difficult to dispute its pilot study's results.

The median survival rate for patients in the stage of pancreatic cancer as those in the pilot study is four to six months. Some of Dr. Gonzalez's patients are still alive after three years.

This indisputable evidence has led some skeptics to acknowledge that maybe there's something to the protocol that includes coffee colonics as a base part of the program. If nothing else, the skeptics feel that the results warrant further study.

green mountain coffee environmental responsibility

The company considers itself a steward, responsible for helping to preserve the Earth's natural resources for future generations and their history of socially responsible business and corporate decisions reflect their commitment to making the world a better place for us all. It is a key concept that has been part of the company's core commitment and values from the time when it was housed in a tiny storefront café. For Green Mountain, social and environmental responsibility is not a trendy marketing move. In a time and age when 'environmentally responsible' has become the latest buzzword in marketing for many corporations, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters of Vermont is refreshingly different and sincere.For 25 years, we have been on a deliberate journey to create and sustain a values-driven company that views profit as a means to achieve a higher purpose.In 1986, Green Mountain introduced its first Organic coffee, and in 1989, the company's Environmental Committee developed Earth-Friendly coffee filters that are dioxin free. In 1984, the employees - less than ten at the time - began informally taking on environmental projects, including a recycling program. In an open letter written in 2006, Green Mountain president Bob Stiller talked about the evolution of that commitment, starting as early as 1983, when the little café in Rutland, Vermont decided that composting was a socially conscious decision - and the right thing to do. Green Mountain has taken that commitment seriously, starting small and growing their responsibility to the planet as the company has grown. That higher purpose is, simply stated, to leave the world a better place for having been here. Thus begins Green Mountain Coffee Roaster's statement of corporate responsibility. Fair Trade and Sustainable Coffee Fair Trade and Sustainable Coffee The company's production plant has been certified organic since 1997, and they remain committed to offering high quality, completely organically grown coffee as a major part of their offerings. for two years running. Each step on the path may have seemed small at the time, but each step has built on the ones that came before to make Green Mountain Coffee Roasters one of the Top 100 Most Socially Conscious Corporations by Business, Inc. Over the years, Green Mountain and their corporate officers have made decisions in keeping with the company's overall mission. Responsible Energy Use, and More Responsible Energy Use, and More



The accomplishment has been recognized by the Specialty Coffee Association of America, who awarded the 2007 Sustainability Award to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Green Mountain estimates that their new cups have kept over half a million pounds of petrochemicals out of landfills so far. Unlike most coffee cups, which use petroleum products for water-proofing, the Green Mountain cups are made entirely of natural and renewable materials. In a similar manner, Green Mountain's recognition that disposable coffee cups lead to increased solid waste led to the company's development of an eco-friendly disposable paper coffee cup.

february is specialty coffee month

DATELINE: BOSTON; BROOKLINE; JAMAICA PLAIN; NEWTON CENTRE; SOMERVILLE AND WEST ROXBURY, MA… But, what many don’t realize is that they are just as particular about their coffee – where it comes from, how it’s roasted and how it tastes. Licks, the Kosher-certified scoop shop with seven stores in and around Boston, is known for their high quality, homemade (and sometimes outrageously flavored) ice cream. J.P. Licks’ passion for coffee and commitment to coffee growers is highlighted through their limited edition offering of Fair Trade Organic (FTO) Nicaragua coffee, which comes from Promotora de Desarollo Cooperativo de las Segovias (PRODECOOP), based in the Segovia region of Northern Nicaragua and boasting of 40 cooperatives. With February being “Specialty Coffee Monthâ€?, J.P. PRODECOOP was established in 1993 to provide assistance to its members’ families in the sustainable production and the marketing of their coffee. Their revenues from fair trade sales support many social and quality control programs including: primary and secondary school scholarships and books; a revolving social fund that assists with disaster relief, healthcare and homebuilding; an organic production program that has boosted their certified organic coffee production significantly; improved processing equipment and the creation of a quality control center to maintain their high standards. When it comes to Fair Trade coffee, J.P. Licks insists upon several factors before partnering with a grower: fair price; environmental sustainability; fair labor conditions; direct trade; community development and organic cultivation. “Where our coffee comes from and how it is obtained is just as important to us as how our coffee tastes. We take pride in being ‘fair’…fair with our employees, fair with our customers, and fair with the people who grow the coffee we roast,” says the enigmatic founder of J.P. Licks, Vince Petryk. To further ensure high quality and flavor consistency in every cup of coffee, J.P. Licks insists on roasting their beans at their Jamaica Plain store and has been doing so since 1999. FTO Nicaragua is a medium roast coffee…not too dark, not too light, but just right. Customers who enjoy a great cup of J.P. Licks coffee may also purchase their favorite blend of fresh roasted coffee beans. With coffee bean sales accounting for more than 25 percent of their business, J.P. Licks continues to meet considerable consumer demand for the best brewing beans in Boston. J.P. Licks can be found at Coolidge Corner, Davis Square, Mission Hill, Newbury Street, Newton Centre, West Roxbury and Jamaica Plain. Visit www.jplicks.com to check their store hours. Best of Boston and Beyond For more than 25 years, J.P. Licks has been serving homemade ice cream and other specialties in their seven Kosher-certified shops in and around Boston. Locally owned and operated, J.P. Licks has won many awards over the years for their intensely-flavored homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt. Most recently, J.P. Licks was named “Best of Boston” by Boston Magazine and also made WBZ’s “A-List” for the second year in a row. Known for their high quality, scrumptious treats and their knack for “treating people right”, J.P. Licks was named Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s “Small Business of the Year”. In addition to their frozen creations, J.P. Licks has taken it upon themselves to roast their own fair trade and organic coffee beans on-site at their Jamaica Plain store, which ensures the best and the freshest, full-bodied cup of coffee around. Decadent hand-packed ice cream cakes as well as breakfast & ice cream sundae catering are also available. Visit the website at www.jplicks.com for more information.

whole foods markets to help homeless children

Whole Foods Markets is proud to announce it is selling Mission Grounds Coffee in all its Georgia stores to help homeless Children. All the proceeds from the coffee sales will go to support homeless children in Atlanta. Mission Grounds is also annoucing a new organic coffee to meet the demands of Whole Foods Market customers.

All of the proceeds will help homeless children in Atlanta areas. The organic gourmet coffee will be sold in a French roast and a Signature roast. By the end of June customers will be able to find the rich coffee in all Georgia stores.

Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is a non profit organization, a 501 C Corporation,
dedicated to helping children. Our main focus is to help orphans and children in
need; impoverished children in third world countries and homeless children in inner
city neighborhoods in the United States.

Mission Grounds is currently helping children in the US, China, Russia, Costa Rica,
South Africa, Kenya and Venezuela. We provide support in many ways; from food to
shelter and clothing. We also provide monthly support in Africa, Russia, Costa Rica,
China and Venezuela.

We are currently engaged in two large construction projects which include building a
school in China and an orphanage in Venezuela. Both projects should be completed by
Spring 2008. Plans are also under way to build another school in China and another
orphanage in Venezuela for 2008. We are also looking at construction projects in
Nigeria and in Sudan.

For more details, please go to www.missiongrounds.com Mission Grounds Helps Children

In Atlanta, Mission Grounds is working with a homeless shelter for children, Jars of
Clay Outreach. We have contributed new appliances for the shelter’s kitchen,
provided craft materials for after school fun and supplied book bags which included
school supplies and children’s books.

Through our monthly newsletter, we have found 2 groups of adults who are donating
their time. They read to the children, help them with their homework and provide
them with the attention they need. We are also working with children’s groups in
Buffalo and in New Orleans providing books, book bags and other school supplies.

Mission Grounds receives its money to operate from donations and from the sale of
coffee. We hope to expand our mission of helping children in other cities such as
Pittsburgh and Charlotte.
Mission Grounds Helps Children

Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is the finest Tarrazu gourmet coffee coming out of
Costa Rica. Tarrazu is considered the best Costa Rican coffee and comes in five
grades of quality. The best grade of coffee grows on top of the mountain; at the
slowest growth rate – ensuring a rich flavorful taste without any of the normal
bitterness or aftertaste you normally associate with fine coffees.

We only sell the highest level of coffee; unfortunately there is not enough of it
grown on the mountain peak to meet the needs of the large retail chains; who must
buy the level 2 or level 3 coffees to get enough quantity. Mission Grounds is one of
the only places to buy this highest level of the Best Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee.

Mission Grounds is currently located in 25 Kroger Grocery stores in Atlanta,
Cumming, Buckhead, Sandy Springs,Roswell, Alpharetta, Norcross, Dunwoody and Duluth,
Georgia. We are also expanding soon into the Acworth and Woodstock locations.
Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee can also be ordered on line at www.missiongrounds.com

current trends of coffee consumption

Here are some highlights from the 2008 Coffee Drinking Trends report: The 2008 report has recently been made available, and the NCAUSA web site gives a brief summary of what the organization has found out about how we Americans like our coffee. The report has become one of the bibles of the coffee industry. Each year, the National Coffee Association of the USA publishes their report on National Coffee Drinking Trends.


  • 17% of the adult population consumed a gourmet beverage on a daily basis in 2008 and 14% in 2007.

    Drinking gourmet coffee has become a national pastime. It's not just the explosion of Starbucks across the nation that's fueling it, though their marketing has certainly awakened the taste buds of a whole generation. These days, you can buy your gourmet coffee at any number of places. Here are just of the few 'new' outlets for gourmet coffee.

    • McDonalds, which started selling Newman's Own Organic coffee a while back, has started marketing the McDonalds Café concept, with lattes, cappuccinos and McDonalds Gourmet coffee as of January 2008.
    • Burger King's BKJoe brand is roasted by Douwy Egberts, the second largest coffee roaster in the world, expressly for BK.
    • Target, the national department store chain, packages and distributes its own brand of gourmet and single origin coffees.
    • Store 24, a major East Coast convenience store chain, offers Green Mountain Roasters gourmet coffee in all of their stores.
    • 7-11, national convenience store chain, has made the gourmet coffee bar a central part of their new store design, and offers a wide variety of ready-to-go coffee for consumers on the run.

Here are some more highlights form the report: The Senseo, Tassimo and Keurig systems have all increased sales and feature gourmet coffees in their coffee lines. Another factor in the increase of gourmet coffee drinking is the popularity of single serve coffee systems, which make it easier to have gourmet coffee at home every morning.

  • Adults 25-59 led the upswing with 19% of daily gourmet coffee drinkers. This is an increase of six percentage points from 2007.

    • In the young adult demographic, coffee drinking was down last year in that age group; with 44 percent reporting that they drink coffee as opposed to 47 percent the previous year.

    • On the other hand, 18 to 24 year olds are becoming serious coffee drinkers. In 2005, only 26 percent of young adults in that age bracket considered themselves coffee drinkers. By 2007, that figure was up to 37%, making the 18-24 year old coffee market the fastest growing segment of the market. Older adults, in the 40 to 59 year old bracket, are also big coffee drinkers. This age group increased from 59 percent to 61 percent over the previous year, and those age 60 and over report the most coffee consumers - 74 percent of adults in that age bracket reported that they drink coffee every day.


  • Consumption of cups per day by consumers age 18-24 continued to trend higher in 2008. Young adults who drank coffee consumed an average of 3.2 cups per day as compared with 3.1 in 2007, a significant increase over 2005's level of 2.5 cups per day.

    Our generation grew up thinking of coffee as a morning pick-me-up and after dinner drink for adults only. The 18-24 year old group has a different view of coffee, thanks to the coffee shop culture. Where older generations gathered at the local soda shop, these kids made the local coffee shop their afternoon hangout. Starbucks and other local chains improved their coffees with flavors, sugar and many creams. This makes their coffee more appealing to the younger crowd. As those kids graduate from high school and move on to college, they're finding that their love of coffee moves along with them.

    • Past year consumption of iced and frozen coffee is up significantly from 2007 levels.
      Maybe it's the heavy marketing? Nothing tastes quite as good on a hot summer afternoon as a tall glass of iced coffee, but until the past few years, who knew? These days you can get your iced coffee fix at your local McDonalds, Burger King or Dunkin Donuts, or you can brew it yourself at home. The most popular frozen and iced coffee drinks include:
    • Dunkin Donuts, who claim that they practically invented iced coffee, has been selling their coffee over ice for years. In the late 90s, they added the Coffee Coolata, which could be topped with whipped cream.

    • Wawa, a popular convenience store located throughout portions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia is a popular location for coffee enthusiasts in these east coast states. They have sold over 195 million cups of their freshly brewed coffee. Wawa uses their own blend of coffee beans and make quality coffee a top priority.


Overall, Americans enjoy coffee daily and everybody has their favorite location to get their coffee fix. Over the years, these trends change while coffee is introduced to new demographics. All of these coffee trends show that coffee is a popular drink among many age groups and is part of American culture.
