Glutathione and coffee enemas

[Guest guest]

I've had the question "Do coffee enemas increase glutathione?" recently at least 3 times....so I wanted to share my answer with the group. Some women have thought that

coffee enemas raise glutathione because of a description of the process of how coffee enemas work. But I believe the interpretation

should be that coffee enemas increase the USE of glutathione in the

body, not the actual glutathione itself.

Here is a discussion of that, ( it mentions a product that I wouldn't waste time with though):

.......Glutathione

(when assisted by glutathione-s-transferase) removes toxic metals like

mercury, lead and aluminum from the body.....,

Coffee has also been found to stimulate greater activity of the key

enzyme system glutatathione S-transferase, which is responsible for

neutralizing free radicals and harmful chemicals now commonly

implicated in the initiation of cancer. The glutathione S-transferase

enzyme is responsible for attaching the glutathione to the toxins in

our bodies so that they can be removed. Without the combination of both

of these compounds, the glutathione detoxification pathway is unable to

adequately work.

A coffee enema is not the most convenient way to help increase the

body's ability to detoxify itself, and oral administration of

glutathione doesn't work because the digestive system breaks

glutathione down into its amino acid building blocks. Therefore,

suppositories have been created to bring the benefits of a coffee enema

to the comfort of your own home. Xeneplex suppositories contain

glutathione to detoxify the body, as well as organic coffee, which is

used to stimulate the production of glutathione-s-transferase, the

enzyme that is required to attach these toxins to the glutathione

molecule.

I discussed this issue with a doctor that told us he and his wife do

coffee enemas daily. He suggested the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid and

N-acetyl cysteine as ways to supply glutathione. These ar acutally precursors to the antioxidant, and do not supply glutathione itself. The supplements can be used in conjunction with coffee enemas. The Gerson

therapy proponents were very clear about the need for juicing along

with the enemas...and that was why I asked Dr. Royal about this because

I was worried about my husband doing the enemas daily but not always

juicing. He said to use the supplements. So, either juicing,

supplements, or both should also be incorporated with coffee enemas.Patty
