What You May Not Know About Coffee
It may be a little perplexing to learn that one of America's most favored beverages, hot java, when taken as an enema has amazing therapeutic benefits for the body. Reports of its curative properties began circulating around the early 1900's and remained in the prestigious Merck Manual until 1972. In the 1920s, German scientists found that a caffeine solution could open the bile ducts and stimulate the production of bile in the liver of experimental animals. Understanding the importance of bile and its role in removing toxins from the liver, Dr. Max Gerson, began employing coffee enemas as part of his cancer therapy in the 1930's. The amazing benefits he reported from his cancer patients put coffee enemas on the map. Today, they are gaining more and more popularity, especially with the treatment of cancer.
How Does the Coffee Enema Work?
The coffee enema is a low volume enema that is retained in the lower portion of the colon (sigmoid colon) for 10-15 minutes. There is a duct between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the entero-hepatic circulation system. The caffeine from the coffee is absorbed through the entero-hepatic vein causing the liver's bile ducts to dilate. This stimulates the production and movement of bile, promoting the liver to release toxins. Two powerful compounds contained in coffee, theophylline and theobromine, then dilate blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut. Kahweol and cafestol palmitate, also found in coffee, enhance the enzyme system responsible for the removal of toxic free radicals from blood serum; and the fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum and out the rectum.
How Coffee Enemas Help to Detoxify the Body:
- Improves Liver Detoxification - the caffeine causes dilatation of the liver's bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic byproducts trapped in the liver and dialysis of these compounds across the colonic wall to be excreted out of the rectum
- Purifies the Blood - Two substances found in coffee, kahweol and cafestol palmitate, stimulate an enzyme system in the liver, glutathione-S-transferase, that captures electrophiles (reactive carcinogen compounds), metabolizes xenobiotics (toxic elements from drugs, pesticides etc.) and removes many kinds of toxic radicals from the bloodstream. Cancer experts at the Gerson Institute have regarded this as an important mechanism for carcinogen detoxification. Furthermore, since the enema is generally held for 15 minutes, and all the blood in the body passes through the liver every three minutes, the enemas represent a form of dialysis of blood across the gut wall.
- Strengthens and Tones the Colon - It is believed that the presence of theophylline in coffee can cause blood vessel dilation across the walls of the colon. This can enhance the supply of blood to the colon, thereby improving the muscle tone and increasing gut motility. In addition, these enemas help facilitate the liver and bowel to neutralize the most common tissue toxins: polyamines, ammonia, nitrogen and electrophiles. This provides tremendous healing for the colon, as well as other areas of the body.
- Neutralizes Bowel Toxins - When the stool reaches the sigmoid colon, toxins are sent through the entero-hepatic system to the liver to be neutralized. Holding the enema for a period of time allows the caffeine to stimulate bile production and efficiently neutralize these bowel toxins, which are then excreted when the enema is released.
Coffee Enemas are Safe - The Caffeine is Not Stimulating
Since the coffee remains in the lower portion of the colon, the enema does not deplete minerals and electrolytes because they have already been absorbed in the previous sections of the intestines. Furthermore, the coffee enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon and is not absorbed into the blood stream. There are no jitters or other caffeine related symptoms when a coffee enema is taken.
In fact, regular, long-term use of coffee enemas will provide tremendous support for liver and intestinal detoxification. They have been used as an essential tool in the treatment of cancer and other diseases, and we find them to be a powerful tool for the recovery of chronic illness and the maintenance of overall health and well being.
