coffee enema

[Guest guest]

NOTE: It is a good idea to start with a warm water enema first, to remove the

wastes present and ready to be eliminated. Then follow with the coffee enema for full benefit.

BASIC DIRECTIONS

(1) Boil 1 quart/1 liter water, with 3 rounded tablespoons of freshly ground coffee in non-metal pan (I use glass)over med heat. Use only filtered, purified or distilled water, not tap water. Do not use a coffee maker. Use only organically grown, non-decaffeinated coffee beans. Store coffee

beans in the freezer to retain freshness. (2) Allow coffee to boil for 5-15 min, to evaporate the oils.

(3) Let cool to body temp.

(4) Strain, using a fine-mesh stainless steel tea strainer(it looks like screen

wire) to strain out the grounds, leaving the "silt". Since many of the beneficial elements for detoxification in the coffee are fiber-bound, it

isn't a good idea to use a paper strainer, or even a cloth,unless it's got

a fairly coarse weave.

(5) Filtered water may be added back to make one full quart. Using an enema bag,

insert coffee mixture into rectum. Lie on your right side for 15 min

with knees toward your chest, breathing deeply. (6) Evacuate bowels.

Additional comments on the coffee enema:

"Gerson knew that the coffee enema dilated the bile ducts and caused a flushing

of toxic bile from the liver. (Drinking coffee constricts the bile ducts). He

also knew that this was the most effective method for detoxification. Since Gerson's time

various active ingredients in coffee have been identified and most interestingly, the palmitates present in coffee increase the binding of toxic elements by the bile 7-fold and this enzyme-enhancing ability in the

liver and small intestine does not allow reabsorption of the toxic bile. Most

cholerectic herbs do not ensure this complete removal of toxins but only an increase in bile flow.

In order to assist detoxification I often recommend the coffee enema. They

guard against a toxic build-up that can make you feel so dreadful and in this way help the body to heal. It is important to remember that the coffee enemas go hand-in-hand with the juices: no enemas - no juices and no juices - no enemas. The juices will remove toxicity from the tissues and the coffee enema ensures its removal to the outside. If used without the juices they will ultimately have a depleting effect on nutrients. The rule of thumb is - 3

juices (3 x 250mls) per coffee enema. If you increase the juices then you can

safely increase the enemas."

QUESTION: How does coffee taken orally differ from taking it as a rectal enema?

ANSWER: Coffee taken by mouth is a vasoconstrictor causing capillary and bile

duct constriction. Drinking coffee is damaging to the stomach due to

the aromatic fatty acids (which are not absorbed through the colon since the aromatics are boiled off in the "coffee enema recipe"

preparation). Drinking coffee is an artificial stimulant and appetite

suppressant as well as creating a more acidic environment in the body

which is counter productive to healing.

When taking the coffee enema, the caffeine and other components act to

relax and open the bile ducts releasing toxins (as much as seven times

the normal rate) from the liver. The glutathione-S transferase

system is activated as well to enhance the functions of the immune

system.

Simply put, one is health giving and on is not. Choose the "coffee

break" that is cleansing and supportive. Thousands of people have

found this to be true. The coffee enema is also an excellent method

for pain relief that is caused by toxic build up in the liver and colon.

Remember, Dr. Gerson first developed his Therapy to cure his migraine

headaches.

However, a word of caution: any more than one coffee enema a day should be taken with sufficient juices and supplements to maintain a

healthy balance in the body. Dr. Gerson spent many years developing a safe and effective therapy that requires some attention and study by the

users. Still have questions? Check out the Common Questions section of the
