The title tells it all. OH, except if there isn't already a recipe in this forum, can somebody give me a recipe or tell me how to do it?

It's the Cowden Protocol!!!!

I can't imagine unless it was nixed with something that supposedly was able to bind to it and not be absorbed.... It's extremely vascular in there, know what I mean. I think it's likely unavoidable. I think the trick is to not hold it in too long to limit the amount absorbed. Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I've never done this.

Did any one of you here EVER think you would be here reading about and discussing coffee enemas? Thus said, I wonder what the difference is between regular coffee and the enema one. Does anyone know?

Hey, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I've seen enems discussed on this forum before, including the coffee one, I think. The coffee enema is also on the list in the intro. post for a detox method.

Ok, I do know one difference, which is that you have to use organic coffee. Otherwise, I don't know how to prepare the coffee, or anything else of the sort.

For anyone who didn't know, it's supposed to be a really good way to detox.

I would like to try it, except that the caffeine part of it worries me, bc I have tachycardia, and in general, caffeine tends to make me feel weird all over.

Plus I want to sleep, speaking of sleep.

So if anyone could still answer my question, that would be great.

There is no way to avoid the caffeine. Other than that rid bit of wisdom there are a multitude of coffee enema directions online. I believe you can't post links here right?

Hi Margaret,

I have been doing coffee enema's (using organic coffee) for years now and I never felt any effects from the caffeine.  According to the article below:

http://www.mygutsy.com/the-ultimate-liver-detox-coffee-enemas/

The intestine has two circulatory systems attached to it. One system supplies the intestines with blood for maintenance of the intestinal tissues.

The other system is called the portal system. It is a critical body system that draws all of the absorbed nutrients from the intestines and sends them directly to the liver. In other words, when you eat food, it does not go into the bloodstream, as everyone thinks. Only a tiny part of it does, which is the nutrients that are absorbed in the mouth, esophagus and stomach. All the rest of the nutrients go into the portal system and go to the liver, not the general bloodstream.

Here, the nutrients are further processed by the liver before entering the main blood stream. So when coffee is introduced into the colon, it is absorbed directly into the liver through the colon wall.

Coffee has a special affinity for the liver, and moving it there from the colon is very different than sending it to the liver by drinking it. When coffee is ingested by mouth, it is digested by the stomach acids, mainly, and most of its herbal medicine properties are destroyed.

Coffee taken by mouth is okay as a stimulant, laxative, and perhaps a smooth muscle relaxant. One cup of regular coffee daily is okay for most people, but not highly recommended, and more is harmful.- Dr Wilson - See more at:

Hope this helps!

The first thing that came to me was trying organic decaffeinated coffee. I can't imagine another way to minimize the coffee content.

Maine, I looked at an academic paper online that more or less agreed with you. But there are a lot of online sources that concur with what Deeja says, which is that not as much caffeine is absorbed.

Having said that, some of these sources say that the caffeine is necessary, and that you're not supposed to use decaf. So I'm kind of confused about caffeine vs decaff.

Deeja, what's your take on that?

Oh, I've seen a lot of links in the forums; I think we're just not supposed to endorse any one company or product.

Deeja, I'm going to look at your link.

I would think the caffeine does have some mechanism of action. I can understand your concerns regarding cardiac manifestations. I also have cardiac manifestations and I'm unfortunately addicted to coffee. I know I read somewhere not to hold it in too long so you don't absorb too much of the caffeine.

From my understanding, one needs the caffeine to stimulate all that sludge that built up inside intestine walls over the years so the caffeine can break it up and one can eliminate that sludge which consists of toxins, old fecal matter, etc. 

I think of an old pipe that won't drain.  Once that pipe is opened up it's amazing what one finds inside.  That is what's inside our intestines. 

This article may also help people understand:

If you google Gerson Therapy one can find lots of information about coffee enema's.  Yeah, I know it sounds gross but I believe it's essential in healing not only from lyme but any chronic disease and to prevent illness.

I have started doing coffee enemas I use organic coffee. If I do them late at night before
bed I can feel the effects of the caffeine. I also put in 2 tablespoon of chlorophyll and
11 drops of liquid iodine. I have Dr. J's book and he said to also put in b12 and probotic
and milk thistle. I told my herbalist that I put in chlorophyll and iodine I told her I would put in b12 put the liquid is cherry flavor that didn't sound to good to me so I skipped b12. She suggested that I also put in some suma and parsley, and milk thistle. She capped
the suma, parsley, milk thistle for me.. The suma is for immune system, parsley is for
the adrenals, and of course milk thistle for the liver. I took me a long time to do a coffee
enema I kept saying tomorrow, the weekend until gallbladder started giving me problems
then I got scared and started doing them. They really aren't that bad and I try to hold it
for 15 minutes. So the day I do enemas I don't take the capsules. I will admit they do
make you feel so much better....Don't forget to strain the coffee.

I've often wondered if I could even do them since coffee gives me a headache. I also read somewhere that people shouldn't do enemas if they have hemorrhoids. I wish I remembered where I saw that.

Yes it gives me migraines, and just makes me feel kind of sick all over. That's why I'm hesitant to do the enemas. I did try one or two, and felt jittery afterwards. I'm willing to try again (I think). I've done combo enemas before for c. diff.

The iodine enemas got rid of sludge for me, but I'm a bit sensitive to iodine, partially due to thyroid problems, partially due to allergy, so I have to be VERY careful with that as well.

I really need to deherx (detox, ha ha), and the baths, while helpful, aren't enough.
