Colon Cleansing Enema

A source of filtered water, I recommend distilled. Chlorinated water will destroy the intestinal flora inside your colon.

Preparing The Colon Cleansing Enema

 

Put a little over 1 quart of clean water in a pan and bring it to a boil. Add 2 flat tablespoons of coffee (or the coffee amount that was prescribed for you). Let it continue to boil for five minutes, then turn the stove off, leaving the pan on the hot burner.

Allow it to cool down to a very comfortable, tepid temperature. Test with your finger. It should be the same temperature as a baby’s bottle. It’s safer to have it too cold than too warm; never use it hot or steaming; body temperature is good.

Next, carry your pan or pot and lay an old towel on the floor. If you don’t use an old towel, you will soon have many old towels since coffee stains permanently. Use another bunch of towels, if you want, as a pillow and bring along some appropriately relaxing literature. Pour the coffee from the pan into the enema bucket without getting the coffee grounds in the cup. You may prefer to use an intermediate container with a pour spout when going from the pan to the enema bucket. Do not use a paper filter to strain the grounds. Put your enema bag in the sink with the catheter clamped closed.

Pour the coffee into the enema bag. Loosen the clamp to allow the coffee to run out to the end of the catheter tip and reclamp the bag when all the air has been removed from the enema tubing.

Use the hook to be used for this purpose to hang the enema bag at least two feet above the floor; on a doorknob or towel rack. The bucket can rest on a chair, shelf or be held. Do not hang the colon cleansing enema bag too high, as on a showerhead, because it will be too forceful as the coffee rushes in. It should flow very gently into the rectum and distal sigmoid colon only. This is not a high enema or colonic. Allowing it to go well up into the colon may introduce caffeine into the general circulation as though you had taken it by mouth.

Lie down on the floor on your back or right side and gently insert the catheter. If you need lubrication, food grade vegetable oil such as olive oil or KY jelly should be fine, unless you are chemically sensitive. It is generally a good idea to avoid petroleum products.

 

Taking The Colon Cleansing Enema

Gently insert the tube into the rectum a few inches and then release the clamp and let the first 1/2 of the quart (2 cups maximum) of coffee flow in. Clamp the tubing off as soon as there is the slightest amount of discomfort or fullness. Do not change positions or use an incline board to cause the enema to enter further into the colon; this defeats the purpose of this type of enema.

Try to retain the enema for a minimum of 12 or more minutes. Sometimes there will be an immediate urgency to get rid of it and that is fine. It helps to first clean out the bowel with a water-only enema, which is immediately emptied in the toilet, so that next time around you can hold more of the coffee enema longer. Never force yourself to retain it if you feel that you can't. When you have clamped the tubing, remove the catheter tip and void when you have to. It is best to hold it for at least 12 minutes each time. After you have emptied the bowel, proceed with the remaining 1/2-quart and likewise hold that for at least 12 minutes, if able, then void.

 

The goal is to have two colon cleansing enemas, not exceeding 1/2 a quart (2 cups) each, that you are able to hold for 12 to 15 minutes each. Usually 2 or 3 times will use up the entire enema, but that is not your goal. Being able to hold it for 12 to 15 minutes is. When you have finished your colon cleansing session, rinse out the bag and hang it up to dry. Periodically run boiling water, peroxide, or another comparable antimicrobial agent through the empty bag to discourage mold growth when not in use.

If you feel wired or hyper, or have palpitations or irregular heartbeats after a coffee enema, you should reduce the amount of coffee, usually by half for a few days or weeks. Be sure the source of your water is good clean chemical-free spring, well, or distilled.

 

Coffee Enema May Cause A Beneficial Emptying Of The Gallbladder

Sometimes you will hear or feel a squirting out and emptying of the gallbladder. This occurs under the right rib cage, or sometimes more closely to the mid line. If after a week of daily colon cleansing enemas you have never felt or heard the gall bladder release. You should consider making the coffee stronger, going up in 1/2 Tablespoon increments per quart, not exceeding 2 Tablespoons per cup. Alternately, you may need a slightly larger volume, such as 3 cups at a time. Sometimes, 3 enemas (2 cups or less each) rather than two at a session are more beneficial for some.

If you find the colon cleansing enema helpful, do not use it more than once per day for any extended period without medical supervision. Use the colon cleansing enema as necessary, perhaps several days in a row, but more commonly a few times a week. One caveat: if you are going to do daily coffee enemas, you need to supplement your diet with potassium as the coffee enema can remove potassium from the body. This is not a problem if you perform coffee enemas less frequently.

 

Coffee enemas are currently being studied by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez in New York as part of a cancer study.
