Coffee Enema’s
An enema involves the insertion of a small tube into the rectum and then introducing fluids like coffee or herbal teas into the large intestine.
As the coffee sits in the bowel, the fluid is absorbed through the intestinal wall into the blood stream, specifically through the portal vein of the liver. This carries the stimulating effects of the caffeine and other phytochemicals into the back door of the liver, so to speak, and stimulates the liver and gall bladder. Since fresh blood flows through the liver every 3 minutes, the detoxification of the liver is quite significant during those 15-20 minutes.
Aside from the detoxification of the liver, the coffee enemas provide certain phytochemicals, specifically kahweol and cafestol. These nutrients activate glutathione, which is a primary antioxidant in the cell. Detoxification on a cellular level is key to healing and creating vibrant health.
In laboratory studies, Kahweol has shown anti-inflammatory properties and also stopped the formation of new vascularity or blood flow in the early formation of tumors. Both kahweol and cafestol have displayed anti-cancer properties in laboratory studies.
Colon health

In the case of cancer, maintaining good colon health takes on an increased significance. A healthy digestive system is key to sustaining a strong immune system, and cleansing the colon is important for removing carcinogenic toxins. During cancer treatment, large tumors break down into necrotic areas, forming dead tissue that the body eliminates through the digestive system. When there is improper colon health, toxins can accumulate in the colon and complicate the healing process.
The liver is also a key organ in the detoxification process during cancer healing. The liver eliminates its waste through the colon. But when there is not a clear pathway for elimination, there is increased stress on the liver, which can even cause metastatic disease in that organ.
