Many of us are over-burdened with toxins in general, but this is especially true if one has cancer.  Coffee enemas will help to ensure that your liver is not overburdened as the body is breaking down tumors, allowing them to be safely and quickly eliminated. Coffee enemas are mainly used help to stimulate the liver to release any accumulated bile and toxins.  Since the body reuses bile (by continually reabsorbing it through the large intestine), the liver tends to accumulate all of the toxins that are being held within that bile.  The caffeine that is naturally found in coffee will cause the blood vessels and bile ducts within the liver to dialate, while palmitates- which are the enzymes that are found naturally in coffee, will stimulate the liver to produce new bile. By doing both of these actions simultaneously, the old toxin-laden bile will be dumped into the large intestine where it will safely be expelled from the body, and it will be replaced with new bile. It is important to note that when doing this therapy, the coffee enema is held for only 12-15 minutes otherwise the toxins and bile may be reabsorbed into the system.  During that short period of time, blood will have passed through the livers filtering system 4-5 times, carrying poisons that were picked up from the tissues. Doctors at the University of Minnesota showed that coffee administered rectally also simulates an enzyme system in the liver called glutathione S-transerase by 600-700% above normal activity levels.  This enzyme reacts with free radicals (which cause cell damage) in the bloodstream and makes them inert. These neutralized substances are then dissolved into the bile and are released along with the rest of bile that is flowing from the liver and gallbladder and then are excreted into the large intestine for removal. Coffee enema’s are also said to dramatically relieve pain in the area of the liver and gallbladder; so-much-so that pain medication can be decreased or eliminated altogether.  It is important to note that you must use only organic coffee for this therapy or you will be exposing yourself to harmful herbicides and pesticides. Dr Nicholas Gonzalez on coffee enemas- Gerson Therapy as well as the metabolic therapy offered by Dr Nicholas Gonzalez  include coffee enema’s as a major component of their detoxification protocols.  Dr Gonzalez say that. “As a patient is going through cancer treatment, and the tumor is starting to breaking down, you get all that dead tumor waste and the liver can get overloaded. The body needs help in mobilizing and neutralizing and excreting all of the toxic debris. We use procedures like coffee enemas that we find help the liver work more efficiently, both in terms of phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification systems.” http://cancercompassalternateroute.com
