The Coffee Enema for Liver Detoxification The use of coffee in enemas for detoxification purposes is well known.

It is a c ommon herbalogical remedy that has been suggested by holistic and alternative me dicine professionals for many years.

Recipe 1 ======== The Coffee Enema for Liver Detoxification The coffee enema has been used for many years to detoxify the liver. It is a low -volume enema that remains only in the sigmoid colon. There is a duct between th e sigmoid colon and the liver called the entero-hepatic circulation system. When the stool reaches this point, it contains many toxins, which are sent to the li ver for detoxification. The coffee enema will increase the transit time in the b owel. The caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system causes the li ver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon and be elim inated. Releasing the toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification. The alkaloids in the caffeine stimul ate the production of glutathione-S-transferase, which is an enzyme that facilit ates the liver detoxification pathways. Coffee enemas will not waste minerals and electrolytes because they have already been absorbed in the previous sections of the intestines. The coffee enema is s afe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not place too high. Boil 1 quart of water in a non-aluminum pot. Add 2 tablespoons or more of coffee and continue to boil for 5 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and add 1 tablespo on of unsulfured molasses (optional). Cool to 90 degrees F. or less. Pour the co ffee mixture through a fine mesh strainer into two 1 cup measuring cups. Clamp t he end of the enema bag. Pour 1 cup of filtered coffee mixture into the enema ba g. Release the clamp until the coffee begins to flow out, then clamp the bag aga in immediately. Hang the enema bag at a height of about 3 feet, not higher. Lie on the floor and gently insert the nozzle. Use vegetable oil on the nozzle if needed. Release th e clamp and let the coffee mixture flow into the sigmoid colon. Clamp the tubing as soon as there is a sensation of fullness or when the enema bag is empty and re move the nozzle. If possible, without forcing yourself, retain the enema for 10 minutes, then empty your bowel. After emptying your bowel, repeat the process with the remaining (1 cup) of coff ee mixture. If you cannot hold 1 cup of coffee mixture enema, take several small er enemas. When the bile duct empties, you will hear or feel a squirting sensation in the a rea of your right rib cage. After feeling the bile emptying, you can stop taking enemas for that day. If you do not feel the bile duct emptying after one week of daily enemas, increa se the strength of the coffee or take slightly larger volume enemas. You should not feel nervous or jittery after the enema because the coffee does n ot get absorbed systemically. If you do feel nervous, jittery, have palpitations , or irregular heartbeats, after a coffee enema, reduce the amount of coffee by

half or more. Repeat enemas as needed to detoxify chemical toxins and/or allergic reactions.

Recipe 2 ======== Supplies You will need to buy a re-usable enema kit, available at most pharmacies. They a re usually disposable (although they can be cleaned and reused for several month s) and they are inexpensive. Distilled water. Organic coffee, any roasting level will do. French Press pot.

Preparing the Coffee Bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Grind eight heaping spoonfuls of organic coffee. Put it in a french press pot. Pour the water over the coffee grounds and let it steep then cool for one hour. After this amount of time, the liquid should be about body temperature. If you s tick your finger in the water it should be lukewarm, but not hot. Press the coffee grounds to the bottom, then pour the coffee liquid into the ene ma bag. Directions Follow the directions that accompany the enema kit. Lie on your right side, inje ct and retain the coffee for 10-20 minutes. I recommend lightly massaging your abdomen from left to right (up the left side, and then left to right just below the navel). Additionally, I recommend changing positions while retaining the coffee. After a few minutes turn over onto your back, a few minutes later switch to your left s ide before evacuating your bowels. The effects of a coffee enema are different than a saline enema. The most import ant difference between a saline enema and a coffee enema is the presence of caff eine in the coffee. Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, combine to stimulate the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and bile d ucts. The effects of having a coffee enema are not the same as drinking coffee. The veins of the anus are very close to the surface of the tissue. The caffeine is therefore absorbed more quickly (and in higher concentration) than it is in w hen coffee is drunk. Coffee has a chemical makeup that is stimulative. The enzymes in coffee, known a s palmitates, help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is a bsorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein, then taken up to the liver by the portal vei n. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away to the gastro-intestina l tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flood ing of the lower colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile a

re carried out of the body.

Recipe 3 ============= Coffee Enema Recipe: In a non-metal pot or saucepan: empty 4 cups of filtered or distilled water 3/4 cup of organic coffee enema (finely ground) from health store Stir in the coffee to make sure all is mixed in the water, then: bring to a boil and boil for 3 to 5 minutes (while stirring occasionally) Reduce heat and cover pot or saucepan with lid and let simmer for 15 to 20 minut es Remove from stove element and let coffee enema cool down to room temperature Strain coffee through fine sieve to remove as many coffee grinds as possible. Because of the boiling process, some of the water evaporated, so add plain filte red or distilled water to the coffee to bring it up to 4 full cups. Store the coffee in a sealed container and keep refrigerated. The instructions I read said coffee enema stays good for 4 to 5 days and should be used within that time for optimum benefits. Coffee Enema Set Up: In a large measuring container (at least 4 cup size): Pour 1 cup of the concentrated organic coffy from the container in the fridge. Add 3 cups of filtered or distilled water to make 4 cups total. Pour diluted koffee into a saucepan and heat it until it is lukewarm. Immediately pour it into the bucket or bag and do right away so it doesnt get too cool. In whichever way is most comfortable (kneeling, squatting or laying down) gently insert tube tip into the rectum for at least 4 inches if possible. You can lubricate it with olive oil. If there is rectal bleeding or severe pain or swelling, it is risky to force an the tube, as this may aggravate the problem or even perforate the bowel wall. So, it is best to wait until any bleeding or severe discomfort passes before doi ng an douche. It is best to place the bag bucket about 18 inches to 2 feet above floor level s o gravity will send the coffee downward to your colon. Any higher may result in too fast a flow and cause abdominal cramping and gas. If the bucket is too low then the flow will be too slow.

Just make sure the level of the bag bucket is best for your particular comfort a nd needs. Each person has a different preference. After the tube is inserted as far as is comfortable, lay down on your Left Side and allow the lukewarm coffy to enter your colon.
