The art of giving an enema
Written by: Next Level Wholeness
Coffee used in this manner (enemas) affects the body differently than if ingested orally, as it does not go through the normal digestion process. It is beneficial because it helps the liver to throw off toxins.
The benefits of coffee enemas:
Detoxification Support: Coffee enemas help stimulate the liver and gallbladder, aiding in removing toxins from the body.
Improved Digestion: They can help alleviate constipation, improve bowel movements, and support overall gut health.
Increased Energy: Many people feel more energized and mentally clear after coffee enemas, as they help flush out toxins that contribute to fatigue.
Antioxidant Boost: Coffee compounds, like palmitic acid and caffeine, may support the body's natural antioxidant systems, promoting cellular health.
Enhanced Mental Clarity: Coffee enemas can help sharpen focus and mental clarity by improving detoxification and energy levels.
Potential Cancer Therapy Support: Used in some alternative therapies, coffee enemas are believed to help detoxify the body and improve well-being in cancer patients when combined with other treatments.
Reduced Inflammation: Coffee enemas may help reduce inflammation in the gut and throughout the body, which can alleviate various health issues.
Always consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating coffee enemas into your routine. This step ensures they're safe and appropriate for your health situation, providing you with a sense of security in your health choices.
The Art of giving an enema:.Please use only organic coffee.
Coffee (Organic) enemas are used in cases of degenerative disease to help stimulate the liver to excrete toxins or “poison bile.” This kind of enema is called a retention enema because it is held in or retained for fifteen minutes.
Coffee solution: Place two quarts of steam-distilled water in a pan (64 ounces)
Add six heaping tablespoons of ground coffee (NOT instant or decaf and only organic)
Boil for fifteen minutes. Let cool and strain.
ONLY use one pint (16 ounces) of coffee at a time - save the rest in a jar.
Coffee enemas are also used while fasting to relieve headaches caused by the build-up of toxins during detoxification.
Do not abuse. Only use once daily unless under the direction or care of a health practitioner.
Do not use petroleum jelly on the tip of the enema-- Instead, use a 200IU capsule of Vitamin E to lubricate the end. Stick a pin in the end of the capsule and squeeze the liquid onto the tip. This has a healing effect on the anus and the lining of the inside of the colon should these be inflamed. Try to retain the enema for at least 15 minutes.
8 Things You Need to Know Before Trying a Coffee Enema
(courtesy of Gerson Therapy)
1. The purpose of coffee enemas is to stimulate the liver to increase its blood detoxification and decrease the toxic load on the liver. This includes removing a variety of toxins and free radicals from the bloodstream. They assist the liver in not overburdening an already sluggish and toxic liver with the flood of toxins dislodged from the clean, nutrient-dense food and juice of the Gerson Therapy.
2. They are not for everyone. Coffee enemas are not recommended unless under strict supervision of an experienced Gerson Practitioner if any of the following exist:
a. Currently undergoing chemotherapy
b. Renal, cardiac or respiratory failure
c. Bleeding and/or ulceration in the colon tract
d. Ulcerative Colitis
e. Crohn’s disease
f. Ileostomy (no colon)
g. Hypertension and/or tachycardia
h. Pregnant (consult with your primary physician or Gerson Practitioner)
i. Acute or ongoing chronic diarrhea until investigated by a physician
j. First 6-8 weeks post-surgery (always check with your primary physician)
3. The coffee solution is not held in the liver. It’s held in the colon. The vessels in the lower part of the descending colon and rectum carry the solution to the liver. The potent compounds in coffee are absorbed by the hemorrhoidal and mesenteric veins that route to the liver.
4. The coffee enema itself does not produce bile. Although coffee does stimulate the liver to produce bile, it’s the potent compounds, including caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline, that dilate blood vessels and bile ducts and relax smooth muscles, increasing the flow of bile.
5. Electrolytes are lost during evacuation, and therefore, coffee enemas should always be balanced with juice (or electrolytes). The typical ratio is 3:1 (three 8-oz. juices for each coffee enema). Those not on a Gerson Therapy protocol should drink plenty of water.
6. The body does not become dependent on coffee enemas to have a bowel movement. Upon completing the Gerson Therapy, patients have no issues generating bowel movements without coffee enemas.
7. A variety of coffee is appropriate for use, ranging from gold, green and white to light and medium roasts. Dark roasts are not appropriate because the potent compounds have been roasted out. Gold, green, or white beans are very potent, with light to medium roasts typically well-tolerated by most. If you are new to coffee enemas, green, gold or white beans may not be best to start with. Instead, start with a medium or light roast. Coffee must be organic and we recommend fair-trade, sustainable coffee.
8. Dr. Gerson did not invent coffee enemas. Coffee enemas have appeared in medical writings dating back to ancient Egypt and have been cited in case reports and articles from the late 1800s¹.
REMINDER: Always check with your primary care physician or licensed medical professional before attempting a coffee enema.
¹Coffee enemas have long been in use. In a case report in the Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal in December 1866, M.A. Cachot, MD, described successful use of a coffee enema to treat a child dying from an accidental poisoning. (Cachot, 1866)
Articles from the late 1800s reported that coffee enemas were helpful in post-operative care. (Allison, 1896; “The Medicinal Employment of Coffee,” 1897) At a medical meeting in 1896, Dr. W.J. Mayo, one of the founders of the Mayo Clinic, mentioned coffee enemas as a routine part of care for patients after abdominal surgery. (“Mississippi Valley Medical Association Society Proceedings,” 1896)
In an extensive 1941 article in the Uruguayan Medical, Surgical and Specialization Archives, Dr. Carlos Stajano described immediate improvement in near-terminal patients after coffee enemas, including a patient with cocaine intoxication and a patient with post-operative shock. (Stajano, 1941) His extensive experience with coffee enemas in post-operative management made him plead for their continued use (https://www.drlindai.com/detox.html).
