This bean was imported in Arabia in the early 1500’s by the Sufi religious mystics, who used it to fight drowsiness while praying. In both the Near East and Europe, coffee was especially prized for its medicinal qualities.

As early as 1917, coffee enema made its appearance and was found in the prestigious Merck Manual. By the 1920’s, it was found by German scientists that a caffeine solution could open the bile ducts and stimulate the production of bile in the liver of experimental animals.

Dr Max Gerson, a German born physician who lived in the United States for 23 years, believed that chronic, degenerative and infectious diseases, were the result of a degenerative liver, pancreas and immune system plus other body functions. He used the scientists finding clinically as part of a general detoxification program, first for tuberculosis, then cancer. His theory about cancer, shown that poor nutrition and long term exposure to pesticides, chemical fertilizers, air and water pollution as well as other irritants that increasingly saturate the environment caused our metabolism to dysfunction. He noticed from many of his patients that their pain was lessening once on the enemas. Many people also felt much calmer while others benefited from constipation relief.

“Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver”.
Dr. Max Gerson.

How does it work?

The bile’s purposes in the body are to emulsify fats during digestion and also to act as a “toxins neutralizer”, therefore facilitates the excretion of toxic metabolic waste. This important role in Detoxification is enhanced by Coffee since this bean releases an enzyme which dilate the bile ducts allowing the release of bile.
Here's what happens when the coffee is implanted through the rectum into the sigmoid colon (lowest part of the intestine):
The bowel is porous and is designed to absorb liquid. The active elements of the coffee enema will be absorbed very quickly and easily into the mass concentration of veins in the rectal area (the hemorrhoidal veins). These veins lead into the portal system.

Through the portal vein, the therapeutic enzyme in the coffee enema, such as palmitic acid and caffeine go directly to your liver. There, they enhance the production and activity of glutathione s‐ transferase enzyme, a very powerful free radical fighter.

The glutathione s‐transferase enzyme system captures free radicals and toxins, throwing them to the glutathione in the liver. The glutathione captures the free radicals and toxins and safely escorts them on to one of the pathways leading out of the body. This mechanism then stimulates the bile canaliculi (bile receptors found in the liver) to open and release the bile into the network of pathways leading to the common bile duct and gall bladder for storage or directly into the duodenum. Palmitic acids and other compounds stimulate the liver and gallbladder to discharge bile into the duodenum, carrying along with it, toxins that are securely bound to glutathione, for safe elimination.

NOTE: The coffee itself does not travel to the liver through the portal system! Only the palmitic acid and other compounds that are extracted through the colon wall into the veins surrounding it, are carried to the liver. For this reason, most people who are intolerant of coffee taken as a drink have no problem with coffee enemas. The coffee itself remains in the sigmoid colon (last part of the large intestine before the rectum), until it is eliminated.

Myself or another therapist will proceed with the usual Colonic Hydrotherapy treatment for 20 minutes before implanting the Coffee into your colon. This will only take a few seconds. You will be able to relax for a further 15 minutes while the coffee enzymes get to work! The enema is administered at a temperature 36 to 40 degre Celsius.

As explained from the Gerson Therapy, since the enema should be held for approximately 15 minutes, and all the blood in the body passes through the liver every three minutes, this therapy substitutes for a mini dialysis of blood across the gut wall.

What is the difference between having coffee orally and rectally?

Bile is reabsorbed up to 10 times before working its way out the intestines via stool. When you drink a cup of coffee, it starts the whole digestive machinery process for the digestion of that beverage. Your stomach, pancreas and liver, all get affected by the caffeine as it goes through them for the purpose of digestion. And because it needs to be detoxified by the liver before getting extracted by the bile, it remains in the bloodstream throughout this process before getting out of the system. Caffeine is absorbed and distributed very quickly according to Medline and once absorbed, passes into the brain.
People who consume to much coffee may suffer from side effects such as headaches, heart palpitations and dehydration (leading to constipation).
Remember that bile goes into a reabsorption process up to 10 times before getting toxins out via your Colon.

You don’t trigger the digestive system when you receive the coffee rectally as for the obvious reasons that you don’t wake up your taste or smell senses. The coffee enzyme’s ability at the time of its implant is unique for that cycle as it does not allow reabsorption of toxic bile by the liver across the gut wall but get to detoxify the blood stream through that existing enzyme system in the liver and small intestine.

Many people notice the calming effect of coffee enemas. Note that Detoxification with Coffee Enema also contributes to the health of the skin, hair, eyes and nails.
