History of Enema
An enema is a fluid injected into the rectum for
the purpose of clearing out the bowel. The enema
has been called one of the oldest medical procedures
still in use today. Tribal women in Africa, and elsewhere,
routinely use it on their children.
Enemas were known in ancient Sumeria, Babylonia, India,
Greece and China. American Indians independently invented
it, using a syringe made of an animal bladder and a hollow
leg bone. Pre-Columbian South Americans fashioned latex
into the first rubber enema bags and tubes. In fact, there
is hardly a region of the world where people did not discover
or adapt the enema for health purposes.
In France, a daily enema after dinner was not only considered
indispensable for health but practiced for good complexion
as well. For centuries, enemas were a routine home remedy.
Then, within living memory, the routine use of enemas died
out. The main times that doctors employ them nowadays is
before or after surgery and childbirth.
But why coffee? This bean was especially prized for its
medicinal qualities in both the Near East and Europe. No
one knows when the first daring soul filled the enema bag
with a quart of java. What is known is that the coffee enema
appeared at least as early as 1917 and was found in the
prestigious Merck Manual until 1972. In the 1920s, German
scientists found that a caffeine solution could open the
bile ducts and stimulate the production of bile in the liver
of experimental animals
How It Works
Caffeine will travel up the hemorrhoidal to the portal
vein and then to the liver itself. For instance, patients
could dispense with all pain-killers once on the enemas.
Many people have noted the paradoxical calming effect of
coffee enemas.
Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given
for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation
of the liver.
Coffee Enema & Cancer
Coffee enemas were an established part of medical practice
when Dr. Max Gerson introduced them into cancer therapy
in the 1930s. Basing himself on German laboratory work,
Gerson believed that caffeine could stimulate the liver
and gall bladder to discharge bile. He felt this process
could contribute to the health of the cancer patient.
Although the coffee enema has been heaped with scorn, there
has been some independent scientific work that gives credence
to this concept. In 1981, for instance, Dr. Lee Wattenberg
and his colleagues were able to show that substances found
in coffee kahweol and cafestol palmitate
promote the activity of a key enzyme system, glutathione
S-transferase. This must be regarded as an important mechanism
for carcinogen detoxification. This enzyme group is responsible
for neutralizing free radicals, harmful chemicals now commonly
implicated in the initiation of cancer. In mice, for example,
these systems are enhanced 600% in the liver and 700% in
the bowel when coffee beans are added to the mice s
diet.
Cells normally have a preference for potassium over sodium
but when a cell is damaged it begins to prefer sodium. This
craving results in a damaged ability of cells to repair
themselves and to utilize energy. Further, damaged cells
produce toxins; around tumors are zones of wounded
but still non-malignant tissue, swollen with salt and water.
Physiological Chemistry and Physics has stated that caffeine
enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion
of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis
of toxic products across the colonic wall.
Theophylline and theobromine (two other chemicals in coffee)
dilate blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut;
the palmitates enhance the enzyme system responsible for
the removal of toxic free radicals from the serum; and the
fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous
system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted
toxic bile from the duodenum and out the rectum.
Since the enema is generally held for 15 minutes, and all
the blood in the body passes through the liver every three
minutes, these enemas represent a form of dialysis
of blood across the gut wall (Healing Newsletter,
#13, May-June, 1986).
FAQ:
When should someone perform a coffee enema?
At least twice per year, for maintenance of healthy bowels.
During any of the following programs: Great South Bay
Detox, Parasite cleansing, liver healing, constipation,
cancer treatment or prevention, candida and other issues
as prescribed by your nutritionist.
It should be done earlier in day, best before 4pm, as
you may get a slight lift from the coffee.
How Often?
It is safe to perform coffee enemas in a series, such
as:
2-3 times in a row
3-4 times per week for 1-4 months (directed by nutritionist)
What else do I need to do?
As the colonic or coffee enema wipes out all bacteria
( both good and bad) from the colon, one should replace
the beneficial bacteria immediately upon completion of
the treatment(s). we recommend Flora blend.

Instructions
- Heat Water. Heat 1/2 quart of the water almost to
boiling (steam will begin to arise from the water).
Then take off the heat.
- Grind Coffee Beans. Fresh-grind the coffee beans to
a fine powder. (Do not do this ahead of time so you
will get the freshest, most active phytonutrients from
the coffee. If you plan to do this ahead of time, plan
to use a dark, vacuum-sealed container, which should
be kept cool for up to 2 days.). Pre-ground coffee beans
are partially oxidized & should not be used.
- Add Ingredients to Hot Water. Add the freshly ground
coffee bean powder, Immune Complex (open and empty the
capsulesules) or other nutrient healing formulas you will
use, and Pink Salt into the hot water.
- Let Sit. Cover and let sit for 10 to 20 minutes. (The
longer soak time helps for a more complete release of
the phytonutrients into the water, including the tightly
sequestered alkaloids of the coffee.)
- Strain Mixture. Strain the coffee-herbal mixture with
a fine metal strainer to remove any large particles
that could clog the enema tube.
- Add Cool Water to Mixture. Add about 1/2 quart of
room-temperature water (cool or room temperature) to
the hot coffee-mixture (about 1/2 quart). The idea is
to cool the hot coffee mixture to a warm temperature
(so it is not too hot when inserting the fluid into
the rectum). The final mixture should be warm to the
touch (not too hot and not too cool) about 100
degrees F. Note: If the temperature is too hot, it can
cause damage to the anus or intestines; if it is too
cool, it may cramp the intestines and toxic waste elimination
may be poor. However, too cool is better than too hot.
- Take Enema. Take an enema as follows. Try to take
about half of the liquid (about 1/2 quart) into the
bowels; then hold for 10 minutes before expelling. Then
take in the second 1/2 quart and hold for another 10
minutes. Then expel. You re done!
Note:
Often, if some fecal matter is lower in the rectal tract,
you may want to take in about 1/8 or 1/4 of the liquid
-- just enough to expel the fecal matter in the lower
tract (in this case, it is not necessary to hold the liquid
for any period of time). Then divide the remaining liquid
approximately in half (mentally) -- and hold each portion
for 10 minutes -- to allow adequate soaking time to cleanse
hardened fecal material, infectious organisms, other toxins,
etc. in the lower rectal tract.
After taking in the liquid and nature calls (i.e. you
feel a strong urge to expel the liquid) - even after a
minute or two, do not resist -- go ahead and expel it.
At first, it may be hard to hold the liquid for the full
10 minutes. Later, after several enemas (and thus a certain
amount of toxic elimination has already passed), it will
be much easier for the bowels to hold the liquid for the
full 10 minutes.
Best enema time: during the day before 8 pm. Give yourself
some time to rest after the enema (20 to 30 minutes) without
walking or exercising. This helps ensure that you are
at home (near a toilet) if another small amount of enema
liquid needs to come out that was not expelled earlier.
