Is it true that using coffee to rinse the intestines can cure obesity and kidney failure?

I have stage 3 kidney failure and am also obese (1m55 tall, 67kg). I have heard that self-cleansing and detoxifying with coffee or mineral water every day can cure the disease. Is this good and what should I pay attention to?

Hello!

You should not do this because there is currently no scientific evidence to prove that self-enema can purify, detoxify and cure diseases. In fact, doing this can cause many dangerous complications such as anal fissures, colon perforation, infection, etc.

Chronic kidney disease stage 3 at this stage the goal of treatment is to find and treat the cause, slowing the progression of kidney failure. Therefore, you should go to the doctor to find the cause for early treatment and currently there are some drugs that have been proven to slow the progression of kidney failure if indicated.

You can go to the Nephrology Clinic, Dong Nai General Hospital for appropriate advice and treatment.
