What is a Coffee Enema?

 

More ubiquitous than the wheel, enemas have been used for thousands of

years to cleanse and detoxify the body and mind. The coffee enema is a

retention enema that has a highly detoxifying effect on the liver, and

consequently the entire body. It should be pointed out that taking

coffee by mouth - even s.a.Wilsons - is toxifying (contributes to

dis-ease) and will not have the same detoxifying effect.

 

Coffee enemas work by the actions of several key ingredients: caffeine

acts to open the bile ducts, making way for an increased detoxification

by the liver, while neutraceuticals such as Theophylline and Theobromine

dilate blood vessels, increasing blood dialysis across the colon wall.

But the true power of the coffee enema lies in the Palmitates, which

increase production of prime free-radical quencher glutathione

S-transferase (GST) more than 700 times, resulting in a powerful,

effective detoxification. As all of the blood in the body passes

through the liver every 3 minutes, this 15-minute retention enema

represents a form of dialysis, resulting in a uniquely effective

detoxification.

 

This detoxification is reflected; physically, in an almost immediate

relief of pain and improvement of symptoms of " acute " toxicity such as

nausea, tiredness and 'the flu', as well as relief from more " chronic "

ailments, particularly pain of any kind, such as that from headaches and

migraines; mentally, in increased energy, clarity and motivation; and

emotionally, in an almost paradoxal increase in calmness, reduction in

anger, relief from stress, as well as enhanced positivity, happiness and

just plain feeling good. This relief from symptoms is a crucial aspect

of the coffee enema as it allows us a glimpse into how we can feel when

our bodies are relieved of their toxicity, giving us an impetus to work

towards cleansing and detoxifying our bodies, minds and spirit.

 

Coffee enemas are known for detoxifying the entire body, relieving

symptoms such as pain, headaches, tiredness, nausea and toxicity.

Coffee enemas have been used by such pioneers as Gerson, Kelley, and

Gonzales in reversing degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart

disease, stroke, arthritis, MS, ME, lupus, AIDS, HIV, and allergies. As

well as cleansing the colon, coffee enemas create a powerful

detoxification of the liver, increasing the ease and effectiveness of

any detoxification program.

How to take a Coffee Enema

 

Coffee enemas detoxify the liver, stimulating both liver and gallbladder

to remove toxins, open bile ducts, increase peristaltic action, and

produce enzyme activity for healthy red blood cell formation and oxygen

uptake. The coffee enema is a retention enema. Depending on your

experience with enemas, you may prefer to have a water enema before-hand

to help with retaining the coffee.

 

The cardinal rule of coffee enemas is to use only organic coffee.

Inorganic coffee contains a host of carcinogenic chemicals which, due to

the nature of the colon and coffee enemas in particular, are carried

directly to the liver. Organic coffee is available through health food

stores. Never use inorganic, instant, or decaffeinated coffees.

 

One of the best-known effects of a coffee enema is it's awakening

effect, which, while clarifying, energising and often inspiring. When

taken too close to bed-time, can result in a somewhat 'over-productive'

night awake in bed. For this reason it is best not to take coffee

enemas in the evening, the best time being the morning or early

afternoon. Interestingly, while late-night coffee enemas almost always

have this effect, according to Charlotte Gerson, daughter of Dr. Max

Gerson and director of the Gerson Institute, patients awoken for

night-time (coffee) enemas have no trouble getting back to sleep.

 

 

What you will need

 

1. 3 rounded tablespoons of ground organic coffee, preferably s.a.Wilsons

2. use purified or distilled water... only!

3. non-aluminium, non-teflon pan (enamel pan is best)

4. strainer or sieve fine enough for use with the coffee

5. jug for carrying the coffee, at least a quart in size

6. enema bag / bucket and enema tip

7. hook or chain / twine to hang the bag from

8. plastic sheet large enough to protect the floor from any spillage

9. towels and a pillow to make the floor more comfortable

10. clock or timer with which to time the enema

11. toilet

 

Aluminium is a metal which, although more easily made into pots & pans,

etc, than safer alternatives such as stainless steel or ceramics, is

extremely toxic to our bodies, contributing to many degenerative

diseases and always contributing to ill health. When we cook food,

coffee, etc, using aluminium, some of the aluminium is transferred to

what we're cooking and so finds it's way into our bodies, where it

causes untold damage to vital organs such as the brain, kidneys, and

especially the liver. When taken in a coffee enema, the aluminium is

transported straight to the liver, thus bypassing the body's natural

defences against such poisons.

 

Teflon, like aluminium, is unsuitable for cooking and should never be

used in preparing a coffee enema. Safer alternatives are stainless

steel, enamel (ceramics, Le Creuset) and for non-boiling purposes,

glass, modified forms of glass such as Pyrex, pottery (porcelain) and

wood. Although any of these alternatives is preferable to aluminium (or

Teflon , enamel is the only truly suitable option for preparing coffee

enemas. When used for this purpose, stainless steel reacts with the

acid of the coffee, releasing nickel, another toxic heavy metal.

Although stainless steel is preferable to aluminium, enamel leaches no

such toxic elements, and is the only truly suitable option. Again, never

use Aluminium or Teflon.

 

Although UK tap water is usually suitable for use in a coffee enema,

flouridated and/or chlorinated water should not be used. Although

promoted for their positive effects, these poisonous chemicals are unfit

for consumption, contributing to many forms of illness (toxicity) and

always toxifying the body. Chlorinated water kills anything subjected to

it - including humans, by inches. Such poison has no place in our

bodies, and although several minutes' boiling will remove the chlorine,

a more complex filtering system is needed to remove flouride.

 

Promoted for it's supposed benefits in the field of dental decay,

flouride is a toxic by-product of the aluminium industry, and has been

shown to have extremely negative effects on dental health (number of

caries, etc.) as well as on health in general. Once fined for dumping

this poisonous chemical into our waterways, the aluminium industry is

now handsomely rewarded for it's valid contribution to our dental

health, so vital as to be included in almost every toothpaste. Fluoride

is also a destroyer of human enzymes.

 

Sodium Flouride, the extremely poisonous chemical used as rat poison and

added to most water supplies in the US and some in the UK, has been

shown to have an effect upon the brain that dulls the mind and renders

the victim more susceptible to suggestion, but continues to be promoted

by politicians the 'civilised' world over, despite such obvious symptoms

of it's toxicity. Such poisons have no place in our bodies, whether via

toothpaste or water. Flouridated and/or chlorinated water must not be

used. Use (and drink) bottled or distilled water instead.

 

The sieve / strainer is used to separate the liquid from the grinds, the

solid coffee left at the bottom of the pan. Anything fine enough to

catch the grinds is suitable - from an undyed cloth strainer to a fine

sieve.

 

 

Preparing for the coffee enema

 

The best place to take an enema is usually the bathroom as it provides

easy access to the toilet and allows the enema bag or bucket to be hung

over the bathtub, saving the carpet from any spillages. The person

taking the coffee enema lies on the floor, made more comfortable with a

pillow and towels, under which is laid a plastic sheet to protect

against any spillages. For extra safety, or in the absence of any

suitable plastic, the enema can be taken lying in the bathtub. This can

be helpful for your first enema for it protects the floor from any

spillages and allows you to relax. The pillow and towels can still be

laid in the bathtub.

 

The enema bag is usually most easily hung from the shower-rail using

some chain or twine (strong enough to support the weight of a filled

enema bag), or from a hook or handle set in the wall. The height at

which the bag is hung will determine the rate of flow for the enema.

The higher the bag, the higher the water pressure. If your bag is

equipped with a tap to regulate the flow, you can hang it where it's

easiest to fill, and use the tap to adjust the flow to the appropriate

rate. If, however, your bag has only the standard on/off clip with

which to control the flow, the height of the bag is directly

proportionate to the speed at which the coffee will try to enter your

colon. A crucial comfort factor to say the least.

 

Recommended heights range from one to three feet above body level

(usually referring to the top of the bag), but experience will show

what's best for you. Many like to have books to read while taking the

enema, and it's useful to have some way of telling the time. A small

oven timer is ideal, but any clock visible from the floor is sufficient

for timing the enema.

 

A coffee enema should be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience, and is a

great opportunity to read inspiring books on cleansing and

detoxification, and to prepare for the day ahead. Indeed, coffee enemas

offer a kind of meditation on healing, and are a great time to deal with

both our physical and emotional toxins. The release and elimination of

physical toxins always corresponds with an accompanying release and

dissolving of emotional toxins (anger, fear, sadness) and dealing with

and eliminating either type creates an opportunity for the other to be

healed.

 

Any detoxification of the body has it's reflection in the mind. Every

emotional toxin is bonded to a physical toxin, and vice versa. The room

in which the coffee enema is to be taken should be made draught-free and

heated to a comfortable temperature in order to allow the coffee enema

to be as relaxing as possible. You can't have an effective coffee enema

lying on a cold, draughty bathroom floor.

 

The effectiveness of coffee enemas is also hampered by dehydration.

Although the majority of people are dehydrated all the time, taking the

time to drink some water beforehand can greatly improve the effects of a

coffee enema. Taking a coffee enema when you're dehydrated, too soon

after eating, or drinking anything other than water, for instance - can

cause headaches (a symptom of dehydration) and worsen any janglyness

caused by the caffeine, as your body is in less of a position to deal

with it.

 

Most importantly, relax! If this is your first coffee enema, or even

your first enema. Don't worry! Most people feel tense and anxious

about taking their first enema, but there's really no need. Millions of

people, all over the world, are taking enemas and coffee enemas, right

now, at this very moment. Take your time, relax, and don't worry.

 

How to prepare the coffee

 

The basic method of preparing coffee for enemas is as follows:

 

Add 3 tablespoons of ground organic coffee to a quart of boiling water

(in a suitable pan) and boil it for 3 minutes, before leaving it to

simmer for 15 minutes. When the coffee's done, strain it (through a

sieve or strainer fine enough to catch the coffee grinds) from the pan

into a suitable jug, before leaving to cool, or, more conveniently,

mixing with cold water in order to bring it to body temperature. This

is best tested by dipping your finger into the coffee. The right

temperature is about 'finger-warm'. If you do add water, bear in mind

you'll have to retain more coffee.

 

There are two variables in preparing a coffee enema. The amount of

coffee and the amount of water. The general " serving " (from Gerson) is

3 rounded tablespoons, however, others, such as alternative cancer

therapist William D. Kelley, recommend building from 1 teaspoon up to as

much as 5 tablespoons of coffee per enema, and as many as 9 tablespoons

have been used at once with no ill effects. 3 tablespoons is generally

a good amount, but don't be afraid to experiment.

 

The amount of water used is really a matter of experience. The standard

amount for any enema is 1 quart (just over a litre), but many cafeteros

prefer full enema bags (about twice that). The benefits of larger

enemas lies in their greater enematic effect; a full bag will allow your

colon to eliminate far more than the standard quart will. In terms of

coffee enemas, a larger amount of liquid should, in theory, allow for a

greater absorption of the active elements from the coffee, and so a more

effective coffee enema. Many people who use full bags do indeed find

'half-bag' coffee enemas far less effective. In practice though, while

it's certainly worth experimenting with larger enemas, everyone has

their own point to which their colon is willing to stretch, and although

water enemas can be used beforehand to empty your colon, the best amount

to use is however much you're comfortable with. If this is your first

enema, start with a quart. Remember you'll need to retain the coffee,

the recommended time being 15 minutes.

 

 

Taking the coffee enema

 

The 15 minutes' retention is based upon studies of caffeine absorption,

which showed that in 10-12 minutes, most of the caffeine had been

absorbed, and by 15 minutes was almost entirely gone. However, as you

may well know, caffeine, although important, is not the crucial factor

in coffee enemas' powerful detoxifying effect, and 15 minutes is not

always necessary for an effective coffee. When one becomes experienced

in taking coffee enemas, it's not uncommon to experience a 'kick' or

push of peristalsis (effort by the colon to eliminate) after anywhere

from 9-13 minutes, depending on the person. That seems to indicate the

best time to eliminate the coffee, beyond which the peristalsis

subsides. Ultimately, you'll get to know just how long you need to

retain the coffee in order to benefit from it's effects, and once your

liver's accustomed to coffee enemas, it will usually let you know when

it's finished with the coffee.

 

It's generally recommended to take coffee enemas lying on your

right-hand side, often with your knees pulled up, as this sucks the

coffee deeper into the colon and can make it easier to retain. However,

in practice, there's only one position in which to take a coffee enema.

The one that works. There are as many postures recommended as there are

types of coffee. Common positions for insertion range from lying on

one's back, to on all fours. For retention, the emphasis must always be

on what's comfortable, and can be eased by elevating the legs, breathing

deeply, and massaging the colon. The latter can also help with

elimination, and always encourages a greater release of toxins and

mucoid debris. The enema is of course conducted into the colon via the

standard rectal tip. These are usually about 2-3 inches long and made of

slightly bendable plastic. At the base of the standard tip, there is a

collar to prevent the tip from sliding into the colon any further than

necessary. Some form of lubricant is generally used to ease the

insertion of the tip, the best option being soap, as it's easily removed

and eases any paranoia over cleanliness. Alternatives include KY Jelly

and vaseline.

 

After 15 minutes, one may then expel the enema. One should not strain to

hold the enema. If one feels the need to expel before the 15 minutes,

one should do so. No straining of any kind should be done at any time.

The whole process should be very effortless. One should expect to feel a

sense of ease and well being on the completion of the enema. Should you

experience jitteriness, shakiness, light-headedness, nervousness,

weakness, etc... you will need to decrease the strength of the coffee

solution.
