With the approval of your
physician, take a coffee enema daily, or a minimum of four times a week for the
first three months of your program.
Thereafter, take as needed, i.e., if and when you feel toxic or experience
problems with elimination.
The coffee enema is believed to be useful in aiding the liver in
its process for detoxification as well as aiding the colon in its activities of
elimination. The efficient removal of
metabolic waste and toxins through the colon is vital to the maintenance of
health and the prevention of illness.
The coffee enema may be
performed at any time, which is convenient for you. It usually takes from 30-60 minutes, depending on the
person. It is best to choose a time
period when you will feel unrushed and will generally be undisturbed.
Most people tend to prefer to take the enema in the morning, as
for many people, taking it in the evening tends to keep them awake at night or
otherwise disrupts their sleep. Others
find that their sleep is not at all bothered and prefer the enema in the
evening.
Some find it preferable to
take the enema before a meal, while others prefer it following a meal or
between meals. There is really no best
time to do the enema; it is only a mater of individual preference.
Coffee – Must be organically grown. Commercial coffees are loaded with
herbicides and pesticides. Organic
coffee is available through health food stores or direct from Synergistics. Never use instant or decaffeinated coffees.
Enema Bag – Any bag designed for enema usage is
acceptable. Based on experience,
however, most have found the use of the type, which is designed, as a
combination enema/douche bag to be preferable to the combination enema couch/hot
water bottle. The former conveniently
has a permanently open wide mouth at one end allowing the easy addition of
liquid, whereas those of the hot water bottle variety require constant sealing
and unsealing in their use.
Colon Tube – A 30 inch colon tube, size FR22 or FR28 is required. The enema nozzle, which usually comes with
the enema bag, is insufficient for the high enema. Colon tubes are generally available from a hospital supply or a
drug store. They are also available
directly from Synergistics.
Lubricant – A lubricant is required from the insertion of the colon tube. Any natural lubricant is acceptable. Avoid any commercial, chemical lubricant. Natural herbal ointments are available from health food stores. Chickweed herbal ointment is available from Synergistics.
Coffee may be prepared using
glass, stainless steel or enamel cookware.
Never use aluminium or Teflon.
Unboiled coffee using the
“drip” method or the “toddy” method are preferable means of preparation. However, the use of an electric percolator
is acceptable.
Always use distilled water
or water purified through reverse osmosis.
Tap water generally is unsuitable for drinking or for enemas in a
health-building program.
Use anywhere from 1 teaspoon
to 4 tablespoons of coffee grounds to a quart (4x8oz) of water. Exactly how much you use on a regular basis
will depend on your metabolic individuality.
One should expect to feel a sense of ease and well being on the
completion of the enema. Should you
experience jitteriness, shakiness, light-headedness, nervousness, weakness,
etc… you will need to decrease the strength of the coffee solution.
Your coffee enema solution
should be at room temperature or only slightly warmer at the time of
usage. Too hot or too cool may cause
your colon to contract, resulting in difficulty in the performance of the
enema.
If you are having regular
vowel movements, the enema should be performing preferably following the bowel
movement rather than before it. When
one does coffee enemas on a regular, daily basis however, one may not
accumulate enough bulk to continue to have regular movements. Should this be the case, you should not
strain to have a natural bowel movement first, as this may result in the
development of haemorrhoids. When your
program of daily enemas is discontinued, your normal daily routine may
resume. The enemas will sufficiently
serve to evacuate the bowel should you not have a natural movement.
Arrange an area to infuse
the coffee solution
Most people place an old
towel on a throw-rug or folded blanked placed on the floor of the
bathroom. The coffee is infused when in
a prone position, so most people make the floor as comfortable as
possible. Some prop pillows against the
wall and use the time in comfort for reading or making phone calls.
Find a place from which to
hang the enema bag.
It should not be higher than about two feet off the ground (assuming you will lie on the floor). If the bag is too high, the solution will flow with too much force, causing discomfort.
Hang the enema bag from the
place you have chosen.
Connect the colon tube to
the plastic nozzle on the end of the tube, which comes with the enema bag. Close off the tube with the attachment
provided to prevent the escape of any fluid.
Add the coffee solution to
the enema bag.
Open the flow control and
allow the coffee to flow to the end of the tube and into a container, or the
sink, toilet or tub, just enough to eliminate any air in the tube.
Lubricate the first several
inches of the colon tube.
Additional lubrication may
be applied to the rectum to aid the insertion of the colon tube.
Insert the colon tube into
the rectum.
Most prefer to accomplish
this while lying on their left side.
Ideally, the tube should be fully inserted. How this is best accomplished soon becomes a matter of
individuality learned through trial and error.
Everyone has different colons in terms of twist and turns as well as
degrees of contraction and relaxation.
For some, it is a simple
matter to fully insert the tub. For
others, it requires patient, gentle effort.
Allowing the slow inflow of solution while inserting the tube is often
helpful. Also, many find that twisting
and turning of the tube while gently pushin facilitates its progress. Others suggest that momentarily withdrawing
the tube slightly and then proceeding with its insertion can help get around
“tough corners,” the various bends and turns in the colon. Under no circumstances should any force be
used. The whole procedure should be
very easy and gentle.
Many people are simply
unable to fully insert the tube. That
is all right. One should just insert
the tube as far as the colon will easily allow.
Allow the coffee solution
(1quart) to flow into the colon. The
rate of flow can be regulated wit the control apparatus. When the flow is completed, one may remove
the tube or leave it inserted during the course of the enema. Many people prefer to leave the tube
inserted with the valve left open, as it will allow any gas present in the
colon to escape.
Lay on your left side for 5
minutes, on your back for 5 minutes and on your right side for 5 minutes.
After 15 minutes, one may
then expel the enema.
One should not strain to hold the enema. If one feels the need to expel before the 15 minutes, one should do so. No straining of any kind should be done ant any time. The whole process should be very effortless.
