Page 116#32. Coffee Enemas For Liver Stimulation
“In as much as detoxification of the body is of the greatest importance,
especially in the beginning, it is absolutely necessary to administer
frequent enemas, day and night (on the average, we give coffee enemas
every four hours, day and night, and even more frequently against severe
pain, nausea, general nervous tension and depression)...Some patients
take enemas every two hours, or even more frequently, during the first
days of the treatment. More advanced cases are severely intoxicated and
the absorption of the tumor masses, glands, etc., intoxicates them even
more. Many years ago I lost several patients by coma hepaticum, since I
did not know, and therefore neglected, the vital importance of frequent
and regularly continued elimination of poisonous substances, with the help
of juices, enemas, etc.”
----Dr Max Gerson, M.D. (A Cancer Therapy)“Some metabolic therapists insist on daily enemas, including coffee
enemas (excellent detoxifiers of the liver) in order to cleanse the system..”
-----Dr Harold W Harper, MD ( How You Can Beat the Killer diseases 169)Coffee contains substances called chloretics which increase toxin excretion via
the bile. The coffee enema is probably the only pharmaceutically active chloretic
compound that may be safely administered several times a day without toxic
effects. Severe coffee allergics may be unable to benefit from this. It was
recognized by Dr Max Gerson (founder of the Gerson Institute) that coffee
enemas are effective in stimulating the liver enzymes called the glutathione-
S-transferase system, which is vital for detoxification. Increased activity of
these enzymes confers powerful antioxidant properties, good for breaking
down carcinogenic substances. The chloretics open the bile ducts (like opening
the drains) and then the glutathione-S-transferase system throws out all the
unwanted junk and poisons.
A coffee enema is administered as follows.
- Add 3 teaspoonsful of fresh ground organic coffee (not instant or
decaffeinated) to 2 pints (1.3 litres) of distilled water (available from the
pharmacy). Boil for 5 minutes, to drive off the oils. Then cover it and simmer for
a further 15 minutes. - Strain through gauze or a typical plastic coffee filter and allow to cool to body
temperature. Put this in the enema bag. Hang the bag at about standing head
height.
