Cleansing the Colon
The Coffee Enema
The caffeine directly stimulates peristaltic muscle action to contract more powerfully and loosen deposits, which are occasionally visible as hard, black material and “ropes” of mucus. Warm pure water, omitting the coffee, may be preferred; however, many people prefer to use organic coffee for their enemas.
How to Make a Make a Coffee Enema
Just before bedtime each day, make a pot of coffee (1 quart). Unplug coffee pot and allow to cool to room temperature.
It is best to arise early enough each morning to allow time to take the enema in a relaxed, unhurried state.
The coffee must be organic, non-decaffeinated coffee. It must be prepared in enamelware, Corning ware, glass or stainless steel, or by the tricolator filter method. Aluminum or Teflon should not be used at anytime!! We have found that the coffee that is prepared via the “drip method” is preferable. Use 3 to 4 tablespoons of ground coffee to 1 quart of warm filtered, distilled, reverse osmosis or alkaline water. The high retention coffee enema should consist of
1 quart of coffee, held for 15 minutes at body temperature.
Water
Avoidance of city water supplies (always chlorinated, which has been strongly linked to hardening of the arteries, and often fluoridated, which has been strongly linked to cancer and thyroid disease) is most essential to removing stress from the kidneys. Any water that enters the body should be from filtered, distilled, reverse osmosis or alkaline water. This water, should be used for cooking and drinking-and even for preparing enemas, since a significant portion of the enema water may be absorbed and filtered through the kidneys. Often toxic amounts of copper, cadmium, and lead are picked up from the plumbing even if the well is pure. In the case of distilled water, one must remember that certain hydrocarbon contaminants have a lower boiling point than that of water. The distiller should have a valve to permit their escape as they gasify. If not, they will concentrate in the distilled water and will need to be removed by filtering through activated charcoal. Therefore, the other recommendations of water, noted above, are preferred.
How to Take a Coffee Enema
- Before the enema, do some form of mild exercise if possible, such as walking briskly. If one is extremely debilitated and weak, this step will of course need to be omitted until strength returns.
- First, attempt a normal bowel movement. The enema is much more effective if the colon has been evacuated. One should not become disturbed, however, if there are no regular bowel movements, or very few, during the program. In many cases, not enough bulk collects to instigate a normal bowel movement. When no normal bowel movements are forthcoming during the frequent enemas the enema cleans the colon adequately. The ultimate goal is to have no less than one bowel movement daily.
The enema tip on the end of the hose is not adequate to give a “high enema”. Place a colon tube (DAVOL) size 24 French, or 26 French, or 28 French on the opposite end of the plastic tube from the enema bag. This colon tube is a soft flexible rubber-like tube around 24 inches in length. It follows the curves and flexures of the colon. The colon tube is usually inserted about 12 to 20 inches into the rectum. A plastic rectal catheter or tube about 18 inches long may be ordered from your pharmacy as an over-the-counter item or order a recommended kit.
Next, allow the coffee to flow to the end of the colon tube, thus eliminating any air in the tube. The colon tube should be lubricated with extra virgin olive oil, vitamin E cream or other lubricant that doesn't contain additives or chemicals.
- Slowly insert the tube 12 to 20 inches into the rectum. The enema bag should be about 36 inches higher than the rectum. If it is placed too high, the coffee runs into the colon too fast and under too much pressure causing discomfort.
There are several positions that can be used while inserting the colon tube. Squatting is one. There is also the knee-chest method, with chest and knees on the floor and buttocks in the highest position possible. Most people, however, find it easiest to lie on the left side until the solution is out of the bag or bucket. The enema should never be taken while sitting on the toilet or standing.
Some people's colons have kinks or turns in them that may prevent the tub from being inserted 18 inches. Often, if a little bit of the solution is allowed to flow into the colon as the tube is being inserted, one may comfortably get past these kinks. If a kink bends the tube too much and stops the flow of liquid, then the tube can be inserted only as far as it will go, still allowing the liquid to flow freely. Sometimes, if one hits a kink that stops the flow of liquid completely, the tube can be pulled out slowly just to the point where the solution is felt flowing again. Frequently, the tube can be pushed back in, past the turn that previously stopped the liquid.
- After the flow of the solution is completed, you may remove the colon tube, although it is not necessary to do so. Regardless of the position used up to this point, one should now lie on the left side for at least 5 minutes. Those who have excessive gas may leave the tube in the colon with the hose clamp open. This allows gas to escape through the enema container. Frequently, the coffee will go in and out of the enema bag or bucket until the gas is relieved. After the enema is retained for 15 minutes or longer, it may be expelled. One is now ready for the rest of his daily routine, clean and refreshed!
If you find you have a lot of gas and it is difficult to retain the enema, try putting 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses into your coffee solution. If you get a sudden gas bubble causing an urge to expel the solution, breathe very fast through your nose using your abdominal muscles like a bellows. This usually helps the colon wall break up the gas bubble. If you find that a little coffee leaks out, place an old towel under your buttocks.
Kidneys
Parsley tea is excellent for strengthening the kidneys. Those with kidney problems should avoid ordinary commercial teas and coffee as a beverage. Herbal teas are acceptable. For those who tend to retain fluid, watermelon is an excellent diuretic. If the melon is organically grown, the rind should be juiced and sipped first thing in the morning and then the red fleshy part of the fruit may be eaten. Shavegrass or horsetail tea is a good diuretic and also good for the skin and hair. An excellent diuretic salad may be made by combining cabbage and onions-finely sliced-with crushed raw garlic, parsley, and herbs like sage, cumin, and juniper berries, if available.
Medi-Body Baths
Medi-body baths may also be used to help draw toxins out of the skin and body. These baths are especially beneficial if one is going through a “healing crisis” and is especially toxic and feeling bad. A tub filled with warm to hot water and Medi-Body Bath powder in it. This bath is quite relaxing and good for tense, sore muscles and may be taken as often as needed.
