Enemas
partial colon flushing with water

An enema is simple to do. You can buy a hot water bottle at most corner drug stores that come with a five or six foot hose attachment. The bottle comes with attachments for douching and enemas or can be used as a simple hot water bottle. For use as an enema, the hose is screwed into the hot water bottle and the enema tip to the other end of the hose. The enema tip is about the diameter of a pen. That is small than a normal bowel movement, so insertion of this tip into the anus (about two inches after lubricating with olive oil) isn’t as assaultive as it might sound. The psychological aspect is the only part that is hard for some people. Enemas are of most benefit when done with coffee rather than water. An enema will only flush the last part of the colon, not the entire colon and certainly not the small intestine. The coffee enema does initiate liver and/or gallbladder secretions, which will have some cleansing effect on the entire intestine, but there is very little benefit to the overall intestinal flush with an enema. Basically, an enema means you will be inserting a hollow tip into the anus. This tip is about the same diameter as a pen and is only inserted a couple of inches so the solution is delivered past the anal muscle into the rectum. You would lie on your back or your side and allow 1-4 cups of solution to run into the bowel at gravity fed speed. You hold the solution in the colon as long as possible. When unable to hold it anymore, you get on the toilet and release it.

Directions For Making And Using A Coffee Enema
A coffee enema is one of the most effective methods of initiating bile production and flushing of the liver. The elements of coffee in enema form (theobromine, theophylline and caffeine) are absorbed in the hemorrhoid vein and taken up the portal vein, which serve the liver directly. Drinking coffee does not have the same effect. Enemas are often needed to assist the body in elimination of toxins from the liver, the body’s natural detoxification organ. Headaches, spontaneous sweats, bloating and healing crisis are all signs of liver congestion which would probably benefit from a coffee enema. Make 1-4 cups of brewed coffee, never instant, organic if possible. Reduce the brewed coffee to a temperature that will not hurt you by adding a little cold water. Test the temperature on your wrist. It should be warm enough to relax the intestinal muscles, but not hot enough to harm the mucous membranes of the intestine. Place the solution in an enema bag (available at most corner drug stores). Hang the enema up above the level that you will be using it, making sure the application tip will reach the location it will be needed. The solution is delivered into the colon by gravity. The higher you place it, the faster the solution will travel. You will want a slow traveling speed at first, but this can also be regulated by a valve on the enema hose. Open the valve slowly to let the air out. When the coffee reaches the tip, close the valve.

Position yourself in a comfortable spot. It is most effective to lie on your right side (rather than on your back) and bring the knees about half way to the chest. Lying on the bathroom rug is most common. Application of your first enema in a bath tub is often a safe precaution if you are not sure of your retention abilities. You will be rather unhappy if you get coffee or waste all over the floor. Once positioned, lubricate the end of the enema tip with some olive oil and insert the end of the tube about two inches into the anus. Release the valve slowly and allow the coffee water to run into the colon until you start to feel full, then stop the valve. Retain as much of the coffee for as long as possible, then get up and eliminate in the toilet. Depending how much solution you used, you may need to repeat this process several times. Effectiveness generally requires at least a couple of cups held for several minutes although more experience can allow almost a court of water held for up to 20 minutes! If you can retain several cups for about 7 minutes, you should consider your enema successful. If coffee enemas make you feel worse, DO NOT use them, they are over stimulating your body. An enema used daily, or several times a week can be used short term to relieve symptoms. Do not use long term or the continual stimulation will stress the liver. Coffee enemas can be a very stimulating cleanser, you may want to start with one cup of coffee and dilute it with one cup of water to temperature and move to pure coffee as able or needed. The higher the concentration of coffee, the greater the liver flushing abilities will be.
