The Coffee Enema has been used for over a hundred years as a generalized detoxification procedure. Never inject anything into your colon hotter than 115°Fahrenheit.
Coffee is an excellent solvent for encrusted waste accumulated along the walls of the colon. The caffeine content also directly stimulates the peristaltic muscle reaction to contract more powerfully and loosen such deposits. |
| Procedure: To make the coffee enema solution, place 2 quarts of steam-distilled water in a pan, and add 8 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee (do not use instant or decaffeinated). Boil the mixture for fifteen minutes, cool to a comfortable temperature, and strain. Never inject anything into your colon hotter than 115°Fahrenheit. |

| Why it works: The effects of a coffee enema are
different than a saline enema. The most important difference between a saline enema and a
coffee enema is the presence of caffeine in the coffee. Caffeine, theophylline and
theobromine, combine to stimulate the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of
blood vessels and bile ducts. The effects of having a coffee enema are not the same as
drinking coffee. The veins of the colon are very close to the surface of the tissue. The
caffeine is therefore absorbed more quickly (and in higher concentration) than it is in
when coffee is drunk. Liver benefits Additionally, coffee has a chemical
makeup that is stimulant. The enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates, help the liver carry
away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein, then
taken up to the liver by the portal vein. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins
away to the gastro-intestinal tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged
because of the flooding of the lower colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins
and bile are carried out of the body. Enema Recipe:

| The use of coffee in enemas for detoxification purposes has been a well known and used practice for many years. There is no better stimulant for bile production and its subsequent flushing out than coffee. This is due to a number of pharmacologically acting substances in the coffee. The combination of theobromine, theophylline and caffeine stimulates the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and bile ducts. Hence bile flow is increased. Also increased are the number of toxins which are conjugated in the bile. This is due to the activity of other substances in the coffee, the palmitates, which activate the enzyme system, glutathione-S-transferase, seven-fold. This enzyme system, which is selenium-dependent, is responsible for grabbing toxins, free-radicals and bilirubin (breakdown product of red blood cells) and delivering them to the bile where they are carried out in the bile acids. The mopping up of free-radicals effectively inhibits the formation of carcinogens and therefore this enzyme performs a protective role against cancer. The coffee enema is unsurpassed in its capacity to stimulate the flushing of toxic bile or bile that has been loaded with toxins by the glutathione S transferase system and it has literally been a life-saver to many hundreds of people undergoing extreme detoxification. For example, on Gersons cancer therapy, his particular prescription of diet and supplementation causes huge releases of sodium, water and toxins from the cells which if not eliminated through the bile result in toxic poisoning of the system with serious consequences. He recommended that these enemas be taken every four hours to relieve the toxic burden. Cancer is a very deeply congested picture and thankfully we do not all have to adopt such extreme measures to maintain our health. However, I have found that the use of enemas in certain cases, prove to be very beneficial in the detoxification process and have enabled patients to progress at a faster rate than they would normally have been able to due to the extreme symptoms of toxicity experienced on a comparatively mild cleanse. The effects of taking a coffee enema are not the same as drinking coffee. The coffee is absorbed into the haemorrhoidal vein, then taken up by the portal vein which serves the liver directly. The enema is retained for 15 minutes during which time it stimulates the liver cells to cleanse the blood, removing toxins. The entire blood circulation will be recycled through the liver about five times during this period enabling a thorough cleanse. With the bile ducts open a flushing of toxic bile is encouraged which enters the gastro-intestinal tract. The large volume of fluid retained in the lower colon stimulates peristaltic activity which ensures the propulsion of bile through the intestine to the outside. It is important to remember that the enema is given for the stimulation of the liver and not for the function of the intestines. |
| It is interesting to note that drinking a cup of coffee has an entirely different
effect from that of using it as a cleansing enema. Drinking coffee causes the following
problems: increases reflex response; lowers blood pressure; increases heart rate; causes
insomnia and heart palpitations; over stimulates the adrenals; irritates the stomach; and
leaves a toxic residue in the body. A coffee enema when done properly will not produce
these effects. When doing intestinal cleaning, one or two coffee enemas a week should be fine if, the person passed the pH tests. Otherwise, that person should drink fresh juices, especially carrot, beet and celery juices throughout the cleanse. The Alkalizer or Electrolife is even better to take. Great care should be taken if the person is water fasting. The bile that is released from coffee enemas contains many valuable mineral salts. These need to be replenished. People who do several coffee enemas a day should be on a good diet of broth's and fresh juices, to assure the replenishing of mineral salts. *The chemicals found in commercially grown coffee could damage the liver when used as a coffee enema. Use ONLY organically grown coffee! Note: Two Coffee Enemas in a week during a cleansing period are good for most people-but not for everyone. If coffee enemas make a person feel worse, even when using organic coffee, they should discontinue using them. Coffee enemas should be used with caution. Coffee enemas can be stressful to the liver and too many of them can cause liver stress. After cleansing, coffee enemas should only be used as an emergency, not just to perk oneself up! |
