A Brief History
Enema has become a dirty word in today’s antibacterial, hand-sanitizer society.
Despite the bad rap bestowed by the medical establishment, the enema is one of the oldest medical procedures used to cleanse the liver and lower GI tract and is still in use today. Think of an enema as a liver and colon dialysis method to enhance detoxification.
Enemas were known in ancient Sumeria, Babylonia, India, China, and Greece. The Egyptians of 1500 BC performed enemas for three days each month. During the millennia before that, the Pharaoh had a “guardian of the anus,” a doctor who administered the royal enema.
More recently, the coffee enema has been in use for at least 150 years. Its medicinal benefits were known as early as 1917 as a detoxification tool to cleanse these organs. The coffee enema was part of the Merck Manual through the 11th Edition, published in 1966. Physicians used the coffee enema in cases of poisoning and post operative shock.
The May/June 2021 Journal Alternative Therapies highlights two physicians well known for their use of coffee enemas in the alternative cancer world. They are Drs. Max Gerson and William Donald Kelley. Both doctors found that coffee enemas rid the body of metabolic wastes by increasing the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder. Dr. Max Gerson went on to develop The Gerson Therapy using the coffee enema for Tuberculosis and cancer with remarkable outcomes.
Toxic Soup Means Toxic Poop
Within the chemical soup environment we live today, we are exposed to toxic heavy metals and chemicals in the form of GMO foods, pesticides, vaccines, and EMFs on a daily basis. They appear in our food water, and in the air we breathe. Our bodies accumulate toxins and pass them, in utero, to our children. Over four-hundred chemicals are known to be present in cord blood.
These heavy metals and chemicals cause inflammation and congestion in the blood and organ systems, clogging the liver, the filter of the body, and the colon, to cause constipation. Held in the body, toxins recirculate in the blood to cause damage at the cellular level throughout the body.
Nature heals, the physician is only nature’s assistant.– Hippocrates
Wake Up to The Benefits
Not only does the enema stimulate an enzyme (glutathione- S-transferase) to stimulate the production of bile in the liver and gallbladder, but it also has paradoxical calming effects and pain reducing effects. Patients may be able to stop their pain medications.
Further, the coffee enema:
- reduces levels of systemic toxicity by up to 700 percent.
- cleanses and heals the colon and digestive tract, improves peristalsis.
- boosts energy levels, relieves insomnia, improves mental clarity and mood.
- eliminates parasites, candida, and other pathogenic microbes
- relieves chronic pain, eases “die-off” symptoms during cleanses & detox regimens.
- stimulates dilation of blood vessels and relaxation of smooth muscle, which further increases bile flow; this effect does not happen when the coffee is consumed orally.
Since the enema is generally held for 10-15 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.
Ingredients Needed:
1/2 quart (about 16 oz or 2 cups) – Purified water /distilled water (not tap water) – for heating
1/2 quart (about 16 oz) – Purified water /distilled water- for cooling the heated water
2 Tablespoons – Organic medium roast caffeinated coffee (whole coffee beans)
Coffee grinder
Enema bag or bucket and kit
Lubricant (coconut oil or olive oil)
Old towels
I recommend drinking 16 oz of of green juice per enema to replenish minerals. As always, do your own research and compare notes. There is much information now available.
Side Effects
Your first enema may cause some nausea from the release of toxins entering the blood. This is a temporary effect. You can add a drop of peppermint essential oil to the enema to alleviate the sensation. You can also drink a glass of water with 1 Tbsp of hydrated bentonite clay or take an activated charcoal supplement to help with detox.
Future enemas will leave you feeling lighter with more energy. Another side effect is that your bathroom will smell like freshly brewed coffee. Avoid drinking caffeinated coffee since it depletes essential minerals like calcium, and also exhausts your adrenal (energy) glands.
The best benefit from the enema is a sense of confidence in taking personal responsibility for your liver health in a very easy, efficient and gentle way.
Bottom’s up!
