History

Enemas are one of the oldest medical treatments recorded. The Egyptian Ebers Papyrus (1,500 B.C.), mentions the use of enemas. They were used throughout the ancient world in Samaria, Babylonia, India, Greece, Africa and China. Early Greek literature references therapeutic use of enemas. American Indians, as well as Pre-Columbian South Americans made enema bags from animal bladders, latex and bones.

Coffee enemas are one of the best treatments for the elimination of bodily toxins. During WWII, when the German army had run out of pain killers, it used coffee enemas to successfully reduce pain.

Coffee enemas are listed in the Merck Manual until the late 1970’s, when according to its publisher, the Manual had become too thick. The coffee enema was one of the treatments that was removed.

How It Functions

To understand the importance of the coffee enema, a little anatomy and physiology is of use. The liver filters toxins out of our bloodstream. This includes heavy metals bonding to amino acids during a chelation treatment.

The toxins are then stored in the bile, in our gall bladder. Bile is part of the digestive juice, which helps break down our food into tiny particles, including amino acids, fatty acids, and simple sugars. After the breakdown, the nutrition is absorbed by the intestinal tract, and proceeds to our blood for distribution.

When toxin-rich bile is released into the intestines, toxins unfortunately can be re-absorbed into the bloodstream. Something is needed to break the filtering and re-absorption cycle. Coffee enemas do this extremely well.

Coffee enemas fill the colon with coffee, which then makes its way to the liver, and then the gallbladder. It signals the gallbladder to forcibly contract. This rapid contraction allows the toxin-filled bile to quickly be expelled through the bile duct into the intestines. It is then forcibly eliminated along with the rest of the coffee, so that it _cannot_ be reabsorbed.

In summation, the coffee enema works by dilating the bile ducts. As stated by the editors of Physiological Chemistry and Physics: “Caffeine enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall.”

Recommendations

We recommend doing a coffee enema about 12-18 hours after doing a chelation treatment. You can also use coffee enemas when you have headaches or feel toxic, such as having flu-like symptoms without a fever. If you are concerned that it will prevent you from sleeping, do them before noon.

For best potency, the coffee should be prepared freshly, or up to one day in advance, if you are doing one or more treatments daily. Only store the coffee in glass or ceramic containers, being careful to avoid ceramics which may contain lead. Corningware is an excellent choice.

We rarely recommend doing more than one enema daily, or even one every other day, for our patients who are using coffee enemas at home.

Discontinue doing them if you feel they are making you feel worse, or draining you of energy. When done appropriately, you should feel significantly better!

We estimate that most people have about double the benefit from their chelation treatments, and other forms of detoxification, when the detox is performed in conjunction with coffee enemas.

Coffee Enema Ingredients & Process

Ingredients

• 2-to-3 cups filtered water for boiling.
  2 for the first coffee enema, 3 for subsequent enemas, if 2 works well.
• 3 tablespoons Organically Grown drip-ground coffee. Do not use instant, or decaf.
• Add 2-to-3 cups room temperature water to simmered coffee, to lower to body temperature.
• Lubricant. Olive or coconut oil work well, or any other cooking oil.
  Glycerin works if that is all you have.

Gear

• Enema bag.
• Glass, or ceramic-coated, pot. Not aluminum or stainless steel.
• Small Strainer. Funnel.
• Towel. Mat or thick Blanket, such as a yoga mat. Small Pillow.

Because every person is different, volumes administered vary, but this is the most common recipe.

• Boil water and coffee in a glass or ceramic pot. Not aluminum or stainless steel.
• Simmer 20 minutes.
• Allow it to cool for about half an hour, less if your house temperature is cold.
• Pour 2-to-3 cups room temperature water into a large non-metallic, non-plastic container,
  such as a glass or ceramic coffee pot. 2 for the first coffee enema, 3 for subsequent enemas.
• Pour cooled coffee into the same container, which is already filled with room temp water.
  You will now have 4-6 cups of coffee that is slightly warmer than body temp.

Double Check That Coffee is Not Too Hot, by applying a little to your wrist.
If it is too cold, say below 95°, warm it again slightly.

• Once cooled to body temperature (~98.6°), pour it into the enema bag,
  stopping before coffee grounds flow out of the bag.
• Screw on the lid/hose/speculum. Purge air from hose. Close the hose clamp.
• Hang the enema bag from a doorknob.
• Apply lubricant to the speculum (part inserted into the rectum).
• While on your back, gently insert speculum fully (about 4 inches).
  Do not force insertion. There should be NO pain.
• Release the hose clamp. Allow the fluid to flow in slowly, over a few minutes.
• Once all the fluid is in, remove the speculum.
• You may turn onto your right side, which allows coffee to flow through the entire colon.
• Feel free to use only part of the liquid on the first treatment, if it feels like too much.
• Try to retain the coffee for 5-10 minutes. Sit on the toilet long enough to expel all coffee.

For patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, colitis, or chronic diarrhea, please check with us before doing a coffee enema.
We may suggest that you mix coffee with equal parts chamomile tea.

We don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, age, class, country of origin, gender, or sexual orientation.

Please leave cell phone and wireless devices in your car, and perfume/cologne in its bottle.
