Coffee enemas work exceedingly well to overcome the inflammatory aches and pains of arthritis, cancer, and other painful body degenerations.
Remember we are treating the whole body and to separate out any one part of Dr. Gerson’s nutritional program and use it singularly will often bring more challenges to your body.
Coffee enemas are a way to remove circulating toxins and partial metabolites by dilating bile ducts and cleansing the liver. See Liver for more detail on the workings and importance of the liver.
Dr. Gerson believed that the liver is our most important organ for maintaining the body’s biochemistry for health as well as overcoming degenerative diseases, cancer in particular.
Dr. Gerson further found that the cellular systems and body tissues also excreted waste products accumulated over many years from the taking in of:
Poor air
Bad water
Food additives and chemicals
Viruses
Germs
And other toxic items
In order not to overload the liver, which filters these poisons out of the blood, he found a way to open the bile ducts and help the liver to release the body’s accumulated poisons by means of his renowned coffee enemas. For more information on the liver and its function see Biological Basis for Coffee Enemas.
A welcomed additional benefit of detoxifying the liver is that pain relief quickly occurred following the coffee enemas as the liver released cellular toxins.
It was discovered that without such a waste-removing method, the liver was unable to handle the toxic load escaping from all dysfunctional cells. The liver could be poisoned and become even more ineffective in caring for the body.
In terminally ill cancer patients, Dr. Gerson observed their toxicities to be so severe that he decided to apply such coffee enemas as frequently as every four hours. The enemas worked as a primary means of detoxification.
I shuttered and cried when I realized that I had to fit coffee enemas into my daily routine. I worked a full time job! How could I do this at work? This is old fashioned, something my ancestors did. Surely there had to be another way. I continued reading and allowing my spirit and wisdom to override my emotions and feelings.
As I began to detoxify my liver through coffee enemas, my blood pressure came down and many other bodily ailments disappeared. The pain was lessened and best of all I felt vitality and energy return to my body. It was worth the effort and time to do coffee enemas not only for reversing cancer but also for all the other debilitating diseases I was struggling with.
According to Dr. Gerson, high blood pressure usually come down in about five days, along with discontinuation of blood pressure medication. Today, we see that the individual’s immune system starts to function and, in some cases, a healing fever develops.
Fever can help to destroy tumor tissue and should not be suppressed unless it goes above 104.5 degrees F.
The concept of a high fever being beneficial is so opposed to all that I had learned in the medical field. Yet as I began to learn the basic principals of healing in my body, I was willing to accept many of these opposing ideas.
With all its defenses restored, the body is again capable of destroying tumor tissue, breaking it down and excreting it. The most aggressive kinds of malignancies – melanomas, ovarian cancers, small-cell lung cancers, aggressive lymphomas – retreat the most rapidly. One can almost watch them melt away.
Other, less aggressive tumors grow more slowly and retreat less rapidly. The adenocarcinomas — breast cancer, prostate cancer, bone metastases, etc. disappear slowly but steadily.
At the same time, the fat-free diet, high in enzymes, also helps to dissolve atherosclerotic plaque and clear arteries, so that circulation of the blood improves, as does respiration.
Now we can understand why the whole body heals.
Whether you are faced with cancer, arthritis, emphysema, colitis, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or any other of the multitude of acute or chronic degenerative diseases, you will undergo healing.
Juicing to Enhance the Enemas
Dr. Gerson found that the basic problem underlying all chronic disease such as cancer is twofold: deficiency and toxicity. He clearly needed to address both these problems in order to heal his patients. The deficiency was overcome by:
· the tremendous amount of nutrients available in the multiple vegetable juices,
· given every hour,
· made from organically grown produce.
See recipes for the difference juice drinks.
Drinking such juices also helped to flush out the kidneys. But the juices caused the sick individuals’ tissues to release accumulated toxins into the bloodstream. See “Our Blood”.
It became evident that detoxifying via the coffee enema along with juicing is an important aspect of reversing cancer.
These toxins were filtered out by the liver, but so much poison was burdening their livers with toxicity.
Dr. Gerson realized that if he did not help the body to remove these poisons rapidly, the liver became seriously damage and such released poisons could even cause liver coma.
The coffee enemas given in the early stages as frequently as every four hours relieved the liver and even, in most cases, relieved pain.
As the person continues to recover, the body dissolves tumor tissue.
Toxins from this dead tissue are released into the bloodstream. At this time, it is important to increase the coffee enemas.
It often takes two to three months before the number of coffee enemas can be reduced to three or four daily.
Those who have misused the coffee enemas or do not understand the scientific studies on how the coffee enemas work have proclaimed negative effects.
Take note of Peter Lechner, M.D., of the Second Surgical division of the Landskrankenhaus in Graz, Austria, in his clinical report. He writes that “Coffee enemas have a definite effect on the colon which can be observed with an endoscope.
Moreover, Wattenberg and coworkers were able to prove in 1981 that the palmitic acid found in coffee promotes the activity of the enzyme, glutathione s-transferase, and other ligands by manifold times above the norm.
It is this enzymatic group which is responsible primarily for the conjugation of free electorphile radicals (free radicals) which the gall bladder will then release.”
The frequent juicing of vegetables quickly helped to overcome cravings, while the coffee enemas help to clear away any withdrawal symptoms.
Overcoming cravings allows successful reversal of addictions such as
nicotine in cigarettes
heroin
morphine
cocaine, etc
Total healing for almost any degenerative condition is not complete until the patient’s liver and essential organ functions are all restored to full normal activity.
For most people, healing like this takes at least two years on the full Gerson therapeutic program, including:
the ingestion of 13 glasses of freshly made juices a day
organically grown vegetarian foods
regular (but slowly decreasing) coffee enemas, and
The taking of potassium as well as digestive enzyme supplements.
The Biological Basis for Coffee Enemas
Capable of removing circulating toxins and partial metabolites, the coffee enema dilates bile ducts leading to liver.
This happens because the coffee administered by means of a cleansing enema stimulates an enzyme system in the liver known as glutathione S-transferase (GST) that removes a vast variety of free radicals (electrophiles) from the bloodstream.
Electrophiles are atomic particles with one or more electrons in unpaired spins which have an affinity for other electrons. They want to get involved where they should not. As charged particles, these free radicals damage membranes of cells and inflict disturbances in cellular metabolism.
Under the influence of a coffee enema the GST enzyme system increases in activity to 650% above normal and removes electrophiles (free radicals) from the bloodstream.
No material other than coffee (not even coenzyme Q10 or oligomeric Proanthocyanidin (OPC) is known to stimulate free radical quenching in such a proportion. The free radicals are mopped up and removed by GST enzymes through the use of coffee cleansing of the lower bowel (gut).
During the time coffee is being held in the intestines, all the blood in the body passes through the liver at least five times. The blood circulates through the liver every three minutes.
According to concepts espoused in Ayurvedic medicine, the liver re-grows and replaces itself about every three months. The palmitate compounds and the caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline in coffee causes;
· dilation of the liver’s blood vessels and bile ducts,
· relaxation of smooth muscles,
· stimulation of intestinal peristalsis, and
· elevation of bile flow.
The quart of pure quality filtered water retaining the water’s organic minerals is used as a vehicle for the coffee enema. (See pure water). The coffee enema assists in various actions:
· Toxic bile is flushed out along with its bile salts
· Removes
o ammonia like products,
o toxic-bound nitrogen,
o protein derivatives,
o polyamines,
o amino acids,
o coagulated clumps, and complexes,
These are waste products of metabolism. Getting rid of them frees the body from becoming poisoned by its own wastes.
In summary it is important to remember that coffee enemas work in conjunction with juicing in healing the body of cancer.
Coffee enemas work exceedingly well in detoxifying the liver by the removal of body waste thereby beginning the process of reversing cancer.
