Doing a coffee enema is one method of purification that cleanses the liver and provides a multitude of health benefits to the body. Understandably to is not easy for people to be interested in doing them but the health benefits are amazing. I especially have people do it if they are fighting cancer or really want to support the liver. Acceptance of the coffee enema’s value may result from an understanding of its history and therapeutic benefits. Water enemas have been used for detoxification throughout the ages. The use of therapeutic coffee enemas began during WWI. Nurses were using water enemas to help alleviate the post-surgery pain of soldiers. When there was a shortage of water one resourceful nurse used leftover brewed coffee.
Coffee enemas are a vital part of the detoxification process. The purpose of the enemas is to remove toxins accumulated in the liver and to remove free radicals from the bloodstream.
Without entering the digestive tract the caffeine is absorbed through the bowel wall, through the blood vessels, and makes its way directly to the liver. Coffee enemas are more beneficial than water enemas because the caffeine and the palmitates (palmitic acid) work synergistically to stimulate and cleanse the liver and blood. The caffeine travels to the liver opening up the bile ducts and allows the liver to release bile which contains toxins. The enema fluid triggers intestinal muscle contractions and therefore the removal of wastes.
The coffee enema is capable of removing circulating toxins not only because it dilates bile ducts but also stimulates an enzyme system in the liver, most importantly the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, that stimulates glutathione which is capable of neutralizing a vast variety of free radicals and poisons in the bloodstream and facilitates detox in the liver. Glutathione is the primary protein based antioxidant in every cell in the human body. It is primarily synthesized in the liver.
The palmitic acid in caffeine increases the activity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) by 600% in the liver and 700% increase in the small intestine. No materials, other than coffee, are known to stimulate as much.
The purpose of the coffee enema is not to clear out the intestines but for the quart of water in the enema to stimulate peristalsis in the gut. A portion of the water also dilutes the bile and increases bile flow, thereby flushing toxic bile (loaded with toxins by the GST enzyme system) out of the intestines. At least a part of the water passes through the wall of the gut and dilutes the hemorrhoidal and then the portal blood which goes into the liver and then actually dilutes the bile and causes more readily increased bile flow.
Ideally the coffee enema should be retained for twelve to fifteen minutes during which time the body’s blood supply circulates and passes through the liver approximately fives times (every three minutes). Since the blood serum is detoxified as it flows through the caffeinated liver the enema is essentially a form of blood filtering.
1. Purchase good quality coffee from www.cafemam.com/node/674. Buy the blend called “therapy”.
2. Purchase an enema bag or bucket from local pharmacy.
3. Add 3 tablespoons of ground coffee beans to a 1⁄2 quart of boiling water (either distilled or bottled water). Let the mixture boil for 3 minutes and allow it to simmer for another 15 minutes.
4. Filter the mixture with a sieve.
5. Add cool water to the liquid portion to fill up to a total volume of 1 quart.
6. Hang the enema bag or bucket about 18 inches above the body. Prepare yourself to instill the coffee solution into the rectum.
7. Place some soft padding, covering it with a plastic sheet, on the bathroom floor or do in the bathtub.
8. Lie on your back and lift pelvis up to allow gravity to work for you. You may then turn on either side if that helps you to hold the liquid in better.
9. Open the clamp for about 5 seconds and then re-clamp. Take time to let gravity force the liquid into the rectum and bowel. Repeat until as much liquid is in the bowel that can be tolerated. Your goal is to do the full quart.
10. Hold the liquid inside the body for about 15 minutes and then release the liquid into the toilet. Some days the body will not tolerate more than 3 minutes so do not be discouraged as to the difference of times day to day.
11. Coffee enemas can be done as much as several times a day to a maintenance of one per month. They should be done in the morning because the caffeine will be too stimulating at night.
