Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Detoxification & the " Coffee Retention " Enema Apr 24, 2003 19:11 PDT Over time, toxic wastes can accumulate in the colon and liver, circulating throughout the body via the bloodstream. A clean and healthy colon and liver, then, are essential for the health of the organs and tissues of the body. There are two types of enemas-- the retention enema and the cleansing enema. The primary action of the retention enema, which is held in the body for about fifteen minutes, is to help rid the liver of impurities. the cleansing enema, which is retained for only a few minutes, is used to flush out the colon. When using any enema, keep in mind that they should never be used if there is rectal bleeding. In such a case, contact a naturopathic physician immediately. If you experience tension of spasms in the bowel while using a enema, try using warmer water --99 degrees is a good temp. to help relax the bowel. If the bowel is weak or flaccid, try using colder water --75 to 80 degreees to help strengthen it. After using any enema, be sure to wash and sterilize the tip of the enema bag. The Coffee retention enema When used as a retention enema-- coffee does not go through the digestive system and does not affect the body as a coffee beverage does. Instead, the coffee solution stimulates both the liver and gallbladder to release toxins, which are then flushed from the body. A coffee retention enema is quite helpful during a serious illness, after hospitalization, and after exposure to toxic chemicals. This enema can also be used during fasts to relieve the headaches sometimes caused by a fast-induced release of toxins. To make the coffee enema solution, place 2 quarts of distilled water in a pan, and add 6 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee (do not use instant or decaf). Boil the mixture for fifteen minutes, cool to a comfortable temp. and strain. Use only 1 pint of the strained coffee at a time, and refrigerate the remainder in a closed jar. Use vitamin E oil or aloe vera to lubricate the tip of the enema bag. The liquid will both ease insertion and have a healing effect on the anus and the lining of the colon. The body " views " the coffee enema as a poison, forcing the liver to quickly dump excess waste build up (toxins) from the body. However,needless to say the coffee enema is not a poison, simply another means to help detoxify the system. Taken from the book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, By James A. Balch M.D. & Phyllis A. Balch C.N.C. _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest DietaryTipsForHBP http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 JoAnn, Did you know that up until 19__ (not sure when) coffee enemas were listed as legitimate treatment in the Merck Manual(the MD's " bible " )? There was some political mumbo-jumbo that went on, and coffee enemas were removed from the Merck Manual, and became something for MD's to ridicule. There was a real reason coffee enemas were in the Merck Manual, and a political reason they were taken out.
