XVI - 98) Gastro-oesophageal reflux: “Patients with reflux disease often complain of heartburn after
ingestion of coffee. Induction of gastro-oesophageal reflux has been demonstrated by pH-metry following
the intake of coffee in healthy volunteers. The amount of gastro-oesophageal reflux induced by the
intake of regular coffee in patients with reflux disease can be reduce by the decaffeination of coffee.”
(Pehl C, and others)
“Thirty babies were tested for gastroesophageal reflux before and during caffeine treatment. Eighteen
... while undergoing theophylline treatment. Episodes of gastroesophageal reflux increased significantly
in about 50% of the group treated with caffeine and in 66% of the group treated with theophylline...
An increase was noted for the number of episodes of gastroesophageal reflux in 24 hours (from
5.3 to 17.1 in the caffeine group and from 5.3 to 24.3 in the theophylline group) and for the time pH
was less than 4 (from 0.87% to 6% in the caffeine group and up to 13% in the theophylline group). Because
gastroesophageal reflux is another known risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome, the administration
of xanthine derivatives in babies at risk for sudden infant death syndrome should be carefully
considered in each case.” (Vandenplas Y, and others).
XVI - 99) Gay personality: We observed that our patients with Gay personality were more sensitive to
the many caffeine's pathological effects. The gay patient suffer more frequently, with more intensity
and precocity with anyone of the caffeine's sicknesses, even when he uses few caffeine. This is an extreme
sensitivity to the caffeine, for life long! We suspect that the Gay personality is caused by the caffeine
(or theobromine) drank by the mother acting on her genetic very sensible fetus brain.
Other caffeine's personalities, as the “Type A” personality and the “Antisocial” personality disorder
need the daily caffeine drinks to keep these personalities. Withdrawing the caffeine, they usually become
common personalities, with few exceptions. As the Gay personality is made during the brain
formation, they are congenital and permanent. We did not make statistics about them.
XVI - 100) Genetic congenital malformations expression and genetic propensity or susceptibility
to any caffeine sickness. There are two kinds of genetic disturbs related with the caffeine's intoxication:
A- A genetic determination to a specific disease, as Down syndrome or Coeliac disease. The genetic
lesion in the spermatozoa, the ovule, the egg or the zygote, can be caused by the caffeine disturbing the
cellular division. It is enough one day of caffeine intoxicating the mother to cause this genetic lesion.
The patient shall present the sickness, whether he receives or not more caffeine.
B- A genetic general propensity or susceptibility to suffer anyone of the hundreds caffeine's sicknesses,
caused by the patient's enzymatic caffeine depuration. It is caused by a general sensibility to the
caffeine, added with thousands daily repeated caffeine intoxication.
Many patients present these both kinds of genetic caffeine's intoxicating effects. The genetic congenital
malformation presents with variable expression (penetrance) in each patient. We found that
between our patients with congenital malformation, those who were most affected were also more sensible
to the caffeine intoxicating effects, and whose mothers were also drinkers of caffeine when pregnant
of them. The defective genetic enables the malformation, but it is the daily caffeine which causes
its increased expression. In other words, the inherited defective genotype added with the daily caffeine
worsen the congenital sickness.
XVI - 101) Genital Herpes relapsing: We had a white 61 year-old woman, 1.65 meter tall, weighing
64 kilograms, drinker of caffeinated coffee 100 milliliters (3 fluid ounces), and guaraná 250 milliliters
(half pint) daily. Besides the migraines, she suffered more than 30 years with relapsing of her Genital
Herpes each two to three months, precisely one week after each time she became stressed by any
motive. Two years after stopping all caffeinated beverages, she remembered and told us that since that
time, she did not have any relapsing of her Genital Herpes, although she had many stressing occasions.
She referred that this was the longer time she was without any Genital Herpes relapsing. Was
this patient only a coincidence? We do not have how to clarify this doubt.
