I came across this article this morning in looking for answers about the liver and it's effects on hormones. This is by far the BEST reading I have done in the last 3 years of research on this disorder!! PLEASE everyone, read this for your health!!! I have done liver detoxing and have seen more improvment in the last 6 months then with any other method of treatment however I don't think I have done nearly enough.
Please just educate yourself about how the body works and WHY (IMO) we all suffer this terrible disorder......Bless you all and I will keep educating myself and share the information with you when I can!! Have a wonerful day!!!
Here is the link: this Forum is not letting me post a URL because I don't have enough previous posts!!!! Please Google LIVER STRESS AND HOW TO CORRECT IT - PART 1 and then LIVER STRESS AND HOW TO CORRECT IT - PART 2. If anyone else has read this and can post the URL, please do so for the rest of us!! Thank you in advance.....

The coffee enema goes back a long way. There’s been much research since it was used as the main treatment for pain relief in wounded German soldiers during both the wars. Various scientific studies have shown that coffee, when administered rectally is taken up by the mesenteric vein and delivered straight to the liver where specific active ingredients of the coffee have a profound effect on the stimulation of the liver; coffee taken orally does not have this effect. The various compounds in coffee not only increase the flow of toxic bile and its flushing into the gastrointestinal tract for elimination, but also increase the activity of the gluthathione S transferase system, seven-fold. We have seen that this system is the major phase 2 detoxification pathway and scavenger of free radicals. So the coffee enema is both protective against liver damage, and also enables the speedy elimination of toxins.
Coffee enema? But yet earlier he tells us to stay away from caffeine because its not good for the liver, but the enema goes right to the liver, (supposedly from this article).

In the passage you quoted, the author indicates that coffee taken orally vs via enema has a different effect. (I don't know if any of it is true...just addressing this comment.)

I saw that, but caffeine is still caffeine. I don't know sound fishy to me.
How a substance enters the body makes a difference in how a substance affects the body, and to what degree: Injected directly into the blood stream, absorbed via the skin, inhaled, eaten, etc...
Nothing fishy about it. That's just the way the body works.

I am the original poster of this thread and I am glad to see it is being read and commented on. I am glad that others have heard of the coffee enema and realize what a valuable tool it can be. Please continue to explore this information and ask any questions as I practice this method often. And it is still improving some of my symptoms!!
I am now on the quest to find out if I have early hypothyroid??? My mom has Hashimoto's and I have the PCOS and symptoms similar to hers. But since I started the liver cleanses, a lot of that has improved except this darn hair shedding!!! And spiratic acne, but the acne is on the decline again since getting back on track with the enemas. This life us girls live, what we do with our time, just to feel somewhat normal!! Ugh, but we are here for each other right????
So with the coffee enema, how do it work, is there a certian kind of coffee you should be using. And how do you feel after the enema, I mean is it something that you should stay home for a few hours after? Are there any websites that explain the coffee enema in greater detail?

Okay I have been doing the Enemas since Aug of last year. If you Google "coffee enema" you will find LOADS of information out there. They have certain protocals about how to make the coffee and how to administer the enema, etc......I do it the easiest way possible and it has been VERY effective!! I buy only ORGANIC whole bean coffee (non-flavored) and I also buy the brown, unbleached coffee filters, which you can get at Walmart or Target. I take a 1/4cup of coffee beans and grind them fresh in my coffee grinder. I use 6 cups of filtered water to that amount and use my regular drip coffee maker to brew the coffee. I have a large pot or ceramic dish on standby to pour the coffee into to cool when it has finished brewing. I always make 2, 6 cup brews so I have extra. I do this because on some days, my body doesn't retain the enema as well, depending on how I have eatin or what have you. I let the coffee cool to 98 degrees (body temp) just touch it after about 45 mins or so and you will know....also, if I am in a hurry, I will stick in in the freezer to cool it quickly!! Usually only takes about 15 minutes. I also administer a pre-salt water enema and a post salt-water enema. I make that with 1 cup of filtered or distilled water in a pot on the stove and I add 2 tablespoons of unrefined sea salt, you can get that at Whole Foods but if not, any sea salt will work. Please don't use regular table salt!!! It is bleached and full of chemicals!! I heat until the salt is dissolved and then add 3 more cups of cool filtered or distilled water and thats what I use before and after the coffee enema. You do not need to retain these as you would the coffee and I will expalin that in a moment.
You will need to purchase an enema bulb at your local drug store (CVS, Walgreens, etc...) they are about $8. It holds 8oz of fluid. You will also need some lubricating gel, genergic works!! You will need a place to lay down, near the toilet of course and something under you like a towel to catch any coffee that may spill. Now you should have everything you need and head to the bathroom!!
First, I get my clean bulb, and fill it with the salt water preparation and squeeze all the air out while holding the bulb upright, you may need to squeeze the air out and add more water. Then put some gel on the nozzle and while sitting on the toilet, insert it into the rectum and squeeze until it is all out of the bulb, as much as possible anyway, you never get ALL of it out. You may feel full at this point, if you do, then go ahead and remove the bulb and expel the salt water. You should get a little or a lot of fecal matter along with it. If not, try one more time. It does work better if you can get 2 bulbs full inside, before you expel it all because it will travel up further and expel more waste and the more you do this in the future, the more you will be able to handle.
Once that is done, squeeze any remaining water out of the bulb and flush. Then fill your bulb with the coffee, it usually takes 2 squeezes because you want to make sure there is no air in the bulb once its full. Add some gel again to the nozzle and then lay down either on your right side or your back, which ever is more comfortable and easy for you to administer the enema, I lay on my back in my bathtub with a towel under me and a pillow behind me and I give it once last gentle squeeze to make sure all the air is out, right before I insert it. Slowly insert the coffee into the rectum, should take about 30 secs to admin the first 7-8oz. Then cafefully refill the bulb with more coffee and repeat, but, as soon as you start to feel full, you can stop and that is all you need (max 16 oz.), don't add so much that you feel over full because then your body will want to expel it quickly and you won't be able to hold it for 12-15 mins. You may have to work your way up to that amount of time. Some days, I can only retain the coffee for 6-9 mins and still get great results, but I get even better results the longer I hold it. Please don't go longer then 20 mins. You don't want any toxins that have been released to sit in your colon longer then that. After your time is up or you feel the urge to expel, then do so in the toilet and give it a few minutes because it may take a little time for the bile to travel down the colon to be expelled, try not to rush it, you will know when you are ready for the next enema. Repeat this procedure again. If for some reason you just weren't able to hold the coffee in long enough, then you can attempt it again, it may take 3 or 4 enemas to get the amount of time you need. That's why I always make extra coffee!! Once you have finished both coffee retention enemas (should take no more then 45 mins from start to finish) you can administer the last of your salt water to rinse your colon. I sometimes add a variation of about 2 oz of 100% pure aloe vera juice to the salt water, as a soothing agent to the colon, this is optional.
Please make sure to clean all of your supplies after your enemas, either following the directions that came with the bulb or rinsing well with soapy water and every few days or so, I use some hydrogen peroxide in the bulb to sanitize it. Please feel free to ask any questions but I don't think I have left anything out here......You will notice a difference in how you feel after the enemas. You will feel more alert and ready to take on the world. You will not have that jittery panicky feeling you get when you drink coffee. It is amazing how much better I feel after I do it. You shouldn't need the restroom for a while after you are done unless you didn't expel everything. Also, please drink a lot of filtered water for the rest of the day and try to do this as early in the day as possible as you will have a lot more energy!! If for some reason you feel overstimulated then the next time you brew the coffee, use a little less, if you don't feel much different or you didn't expel cloudy (liver bile) or stones and sediment, then you can increase the amount of coffee beans next time.
This works best if you can do it everyday for a week and see how you feel, if you see improvement, you can do it every other day for the second week and then twice per week the third week and then a few times a month thereafter. It totally depends on how stangnant your liver and gallbladder are. Mine were a mess from all the prescriptions and candida. But my skin and overall health dramatically improves with every enema I do. This is the ONLY thing I have found to actually continue to work and improve my symptoms and I have done just about everything!!!! I will attempt the apple juice, olive oil, epsom salt, lemon juice concoction (aka, liver flush) when I get back from vacation in May. I am not sure how I will react since it is something you ingest and I am very sensitive. I don't want to take the chance of being sick while on vacation.
Bless you all and ask questions if you need too!!! Huggs
