Max Gerson, a German Doctor, pioneered the use of coffee for enemas as part of his healing therapy ‘The Gerson Therapy’ in the 1930s. He helped many people heal from cancer in his lifetime.
Coffee taken rectally dilates the bile ducts and stimulates an enzyme system in the liver known as Glutathione S – transferase (GST). This removes a vast array of free radicals from the blood stream. Free radicals are also known as electrophiles – they are atomic particles with one or more electrons in unpaired spins. They have an affinity for other electrons and want to get involved where they should not.
Under the influence of coffee rectally, the GST enzyme system increases in activity to 650 percent above normal and removes electrophiles from the bloodstream. During the time the coffee is held in the gut (fifteen minutes), all the blood in the body passes through the liver at least five times. The blood circulates through the liver every three minutes. The coffee causes dilation of the liver’s blood vessels and bile ducts, relaxation of smooth muscle, stimulation of intestinal peristalsis and elevation of bile flow.
How to
- Two tablespoons (30g) of organic ground coffee to 500mls filtered water.
-
Bring to boil. Simmer for five minutes with lid on.
-
Leave to stand for a further five minutes.
-
Filter / sieve and leave to cool.
-
It is a lot easier to hold the coffee if it is cooler than room temperature.
-
Save time by making up a concentrate for enemas for up to a week in advance. In this case, use enough water to cover the coffee and so that it will not boil dry. Before use, make it up to at least 400 mls each time using filtered water.
Empty bowels first. If you have not been able to, then before you use the coffee solution, perform a water enema – using filtered water. Do not attempt to hold the solution – as soon as you need to empty your bowels, go ahead. You are now ready to do the coffee enema proper.
Enema Technique
- Hang the enema bag onto a suitable hook in your bathroom. (At least 4 feet high). Fill the bag up with nozzle switched off, Attach the catheter, then switch nozzle on, whilst holding it over a sink / bucket /toilet. When the coffee fills the catheter, switch it off.
- Put down some plastic sheeting, and a towel to lie on.
- Put some oil (such as olive or coconut) over the catheter and lying on your back, or on your side, insert it into your rectum. Insert as much of the catheter as you can – but do not force it.
- Switch nozzle on.
- If you have an irresistible urge to go then switch off nozzle and eliminate. Then try again- this may happen if you were unsuccessful in emptying your bowels earlier. Usually it is easier to hold on to the coffee after a failed first attempt.
- Remove the catheter from rectum.
- Circling the feet and hands helps to get you through waves of peristalsis (spasm).
- Lie on your back for 5 minutes, left side for 5 mins, then right side for 5 mins. If you feel adventurous, then try a shoulder stand. Aim to hold the enema for around 15 minutes
- It is possible that your first attempt will be a disaster! , Don’t lose heart because each time you do it, you will find it easier.
Good Luck! Use the time to listen to something you find inspiring.
