Coffee enemas

[Guest guest]

My naturopathic doctor first suggested I do coffee enemas, but I

flat out told him no way. I thought he was a little off his rocker

when he told me to do them. Then as I read about the Gerson therapy

and how necessary coffee enemas were for healing, I decided to go

for it. I followed the directions that were given in the Gerson

books, and of course, there are directions on the net, so my first

time was unassisted, and it's been that way ever since. I've always

done them myself at home. It's very easy. You just need the proper

equipment (enema bag, organic coffee, strainer)

I always do a water enema first to cleanse out the lower colon. This

makes it easier to retain the coffee enema for 15 minutes. At times

I get a little bit of cramping, but I just massage my abdomen until

it passes. There have been times when I couldn't quite make the 15

minutes, but for the most part, it's been pretty easy.

My husband does them almost every day, primarily at the suggestion

of Dr. Fuller Royal here in Las Vegas, who also does them daily and

has done so for 20 years. I know this because I asked him about the

safety of doing it that often and he told me that is how long he has

been doing them daily and he has no problems with it. I asked about

the glutathione depletion (the Gerson Org says you MUST drink at

least 3 glasses of fresh squeezed juices per enema to replace

minerals and nutrients), and Dr. Royal suggested Alpha Lipoic Acid

as a supplement.

My point I guess was that if my husband can do it, then anybody

can. He thought I was crazy when I first told him about it, and now

look at him...devoted to detox for life! He amazes me. Hope this

helps!

Thank you Patty. I remember when I was growing up that my father did

enemas every week. We have a history of IBS in our family and he

needed them to move his bowels. I always thought it was gross, but

once or twice I have been rushed to the hospital, thinking it was

apendicitis, but it was compacted bowels. The enemas they gave me were

very painful, but of course I felt better after. I can certainly

understand how this would make one feel better.

I think I still have a couple of questions based on your list of

needed items. Are the actual directions for this on www.curezone.com?

I think I saw it mentioned there. I'm just not sure what the bowl and

strainer are for. I've only ever seen a straight water or fleet enema

where the only item needed was the enema bag.

Thanks,

Hi Patty,

I hate to be ignorant here but I have never done this except with a Fleet bought from the store when I was a child. Do you hang a bag? How does it work? Do you buy them at Walmart or a specialty store? How do you know when enough liquid is enough? Do you hold the plain water or just fill and dump? I think I want to try this but I’m scared to death! I used to catheterize myself and fill my bladder with drug “cocktails” for IC years ago. I’m sure if I can do that, I can do most anything!

I thought I answered this, but I don't see the post. I did the

coffee enemas myself at home and they are really easy. When my

naturopathic doctor first suggested I do them, I told him flat out

No Way! I thought he was kinda off his rocker to even suggest it.

But after I did some research and found that Dr. Gerson was using

them with great success and they had scientific validity behind

them, I just followed the directions on my own at home and it worked

out pretty good. You just need a glass pan (or porcelain or

whatever...just no aluminum), organic coffee, a strainer and an

enema bag. It's actually quite simple.

I do a water enema first to clean out. That makes retention easier.

I usually have no problems whatsoever retaining the coffee enema for

the 15 minutes. Occasionally I can't hold it the whole time, but

for the most part it is a very relaxing time for me. I read my

Bible or pray during those 15 minutes on the floor, so it's actually

a very treasured time for me! If I start to cramp, I just massage

my abdomen and it usually passes.

My husband does the coffee enemas almost every day, and he started

doing that because of a discussion with Dr. Fuller Royal here in Las

Vegas that we had. Dr. Royal (he's an MD but focuses on homeopathic

medicine as well) told us that he does them every day, and when I

asked about the safety of that he said he's done it for 20 years

with no problems. I know that the Gerson Organization recommends 3

glasses of freshly squeezed juices per enema to replace nutrients

and enzymes, and when I asked Dr. Royal about that, he suggested

Alpha lipoic Acid as a supplement to replace glutathione.

I guess my point was that if my husband can do it, anybody can. He

thought I was crazy when I first told him about it, but after he

tried it one time, he became a believer. He said it makes him feel

really good, and he has adopted a detox lifestyle that surprises

even me. Hope this helps!

Hey no problem, Kenda,

I never knew how to do them either, before I started as an adult!

Here's the directions from our file on coffee enemas. I think this

coveres all the bases, but if you have further questions, please ask.

Patty

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. (It's best to hang

the bag on a towel bar or door handle at least 18 inches off the

ground.) 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.

Hey, no problem Kenda,

I didn't know anything about enemas before I tried these coffee

ones. I'll just copy the directions we have in our files. I bought

my enema bag at WalMart for about $5. It is a hot water

bottle/enema combination bag. Works great. It has a plastic hanger

attachment that lets you hang it from a towel bar or door handle.

Here's the directions. Ask if you have any questions!

Hey, no problem Kenda,

I never did enemas before I started the coffee ones, so it was all

new to me. I will just copy the directions from our files section

It is a combination hot water bottle and enema bag, and works great.

There is a plastic attachment for hanging off the towel bar or door

By the way, my posts are not going through on my other email

address. Something is going on...not sure what, but if I don't

answer, it may be because of email trouble....Hope this helps!

Thank you, Patty! I’m leaving again tomorrow for a week but will try it when I get home — if I get the courage.

Hey, no problem Kenda,

I didn't know how to do enemas at all when I did my first one. It

was pretty easy though. I will just copy the directions for you

from the files section. I bought my enema bag at WalMart for $5 and

it is a combo enema bag/water bottle. It comes with a plastic

hanger so you can hang it from a towel bar or door handle.

Hope this helps!

Patty

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.

Hi

http://curezone.com/cleanse/liver/kelley.asp

How many people have used the above procedure? Does the coffee enema really

help the expulsion process?

I see some have used electric massagers on the liver/gall bladder area and

hot water bottles. That sounds like a great idea. Castor oil packs are a

mess but might do it better

Can one get away with drinking lots of apple juice (or cider) for 2 days

instead of 6?

I used the above Dr Kelley procedure twice a few years ago. Did not get big

results and I know I have gall stones. Soreness under right rib cage

Thanks

Dear Steph,

Here's one link with detailed instructions on how to do a coffee enema:

http://www.gallbladderattack.com/coffeeenemastepbystep.shtml

And another link with even more detailed instructions:

http://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com/Coffee-Enemas-s/538.htm

If you have (or can get) some chlorella tablets, it's really helpful to take a

bunch of them just prior to doing a coffee enema, as chlorella is excellent for

detoxing the body and does wonders to soak up the toxins that are released into

the small intestine from the liver during the enema.

Doing an hour long castor oil pack (with a heating pad placed on top of the

pack) over the liver prior to doing a coffee enema is another very beneficial

method of helping to support and detoxify the liver.

(If you need information or links to instructions on how to do a castor oil

pack, send an email to the group and I'll post some good links/info here.)

Below is an excerpt from this site:

http://www.enemabag.com/coffee_enemas_how_often.html

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE COFFEE ENEMAS?

For people with cancer, the Gerson protocol involves daily coffee enemas, one

every three to four hours.

As part of a detox program that does not include combating cancer, we recommend

taking roughly one to two coffee enemas per week.

For both cancer patients and those free of the disease, Gerson's suggestion of

taking more than one coffee enema on the same day is wise to follow, because the

first enema series only pulls toxins from the colon and not from the small

intestines. Remember, the therapeutic action of the coffee enema is on the

gallbladder and liver. The ensuing increase of bile which is dumped into the

small intestines needs time to pass into the colon, where it then needs to be

eliminated. Taking a second enema series four to six hours after the first can

be crucial to pulling from your body what was dumped into your small intestines

previously that day.

When the coffee enema is needed, there is a very clear experience of improved

wellbeing after taking it. Once the body is well detoxified, once the bulk of

the healing, regenerating, rebuilding, and weight loss is accomplished, once the

efficiency of the organs of detoxification is restored, then the need for the

coffee enema disappears. At that point, the coffee enema can still be used from

time to time if a specific need arises. For instance, the coffee enema could

prove useful when one eats unhealthy food, does a spring cleanse, is

experiencing high stress, or is quitting smoking.
