Chapter 2 · Part I — How I Got Here
Researching a Subject Almost Nobody Discussed
Scott’s coffee-enema research and Gold Roast development happened together through reading, correspondence, samples, laboratory testing, and practitioner relationships.
Chapter summary
The concise reading
The chapter describes the sparse early internet record, Scott’s email outreach, the Gerson Institute connection, and his first meeting with Gar Hildenbrand. Scott’s role was not to practise medicine; it was to understand and improve the coffee.
“When I first started looking into coffee enemas, there wasn’t much information to work with.”
