Inasmuch as the 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).  Enemas also help against spasms, precordial pain, and difficulties resulting from the sudden withdrawal of all intoxicating sedation.  Difficult as this may be to believe, experience has proved that frequent enemas completely eliminate the need for sedation.  Some clients 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.

To make enemas most effective, the patient should lie on his right side, with both legs drawn close to the abdomen, and breathe deeply, in order to suck the greatest amount of fluid into all parts of the colon.  The fluid should be retained 10 - 15 minutes.  Experiments have shown that after 10 - 12 minutes almost all caffeine is absorbed from the fluid.  It goes through the hemorrhoidal veins directly into the portal veins and into the liver.  Clients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver.

According to experiments, it is not certain whether the caffeine stimulates the liver cells directly or indirectly through the visceral nervous system.  In any case, the effect is an increased production of bile, an opening of the bile ducts and greater flow of bile.  At the start of the treatment and during flare-ups, the bile contains poisons, produces spasms in the duodenum, and small intestines and causes some overflow into the stomach, with resultant feeling of nausea or even vomiting of bile.  In these cases, greater amounts of peppermint tea are necessary to wash out bile from the stomach.  Thereafter, clients feel much easier and more comfortable.

Preparation of coffee for enema:

Take 3 Tbsp of ground coffee (organic coffee is recommended) to 1 quart of pure water.  Let it boil for 3 minutes and then simmer for 20 minutes or more.  Strain and use at body temperature.  The daily amount can be prepared at one time and divided into individual dosages.  (Excerpted from A Cancer Therapy by Max Gerson, M.D.

If using a coffee maker, simply place 3 Tbsp of ground coffee in the basket, then add about 12 oz pure water.  After coffee is finished, add remaining room temperature water to equal 1 quart total coffee.

General Procedure:

Coffee:

The coffee solution should be body temperature. (If you pre-make your coffee, heat 8 oz. and the other 24 oz. should be room temp. that way it should be about body temperature when you use it.)

Run a little of the solution through the tube into the toilet to warm the tube; close the stopcock.  Lubricate the enema tube for about 2 inches at end with aloe vera or Vitamin E gel (pure).  Hang enema bucket not more than 2 ft. above you.   Lying on the right side, draw both legs close to the abdomen, relax and breathe deeply.  By lying on the right side, the coffee pools to the hepatic flexure and absorbs through the colon into the liver to clean the blood stream.  Insert tube into rectum, not more than about 2 inches.  Open stopcock and allow fluid to run in very slowly to avoid cramping.  Retain solution 12 - 15 minutes.  Do not hold longer than 15 minutes.  If you have trouble retaining or taking in the full 32 oz., lower the bucket.  If you feel spasms, lower the bucket to the floor to allow the flow to back up a bit to relieve the pressure.  After 12 - 20 seconds, slowly start raising the bucket toward the original level.  You can also control the flow of solution by pinching the tube with your fingers or adjusting the plastic ring in a partially closed position.  You will quickly learn what works best for you individually.

Frequency of enemas is increased with symptoms of toxicity such as headache, fever, nausea, intestinal spasms and drowsiness.  Upon awakening in the morning, if headache and drowsiness are experience, an additional enema is recommended during the following night.

For most people, one enema a day is sufficient to help with detoxification. However, during times of intense detoxification, one may choose to do a second enema during the day. It is essential, when doing the enemas, to drink a minimum of two juices a day, in addition to BarleyMax, for each enema that is taken.

Keep your equipment clean!!!

Don?t place tube back into bucket until after you have thoroughly cleaned them (use biodegradable food-use detergent -or Castile soap- and rinse well. Rinse daily with hydrogen peroxide 3%). The bucket and tube are very good growing grounds for bacteria.
