Re: coffee enemas/cancer

[Guest guest]

Dear Krystyna, As the problem is occurring because of the morphine salts I

would suggest you might want to try Camomile, using a retention enema, along

the same lines as the coffee but it is much more soothing and does not have

the liver stimulating effects of the coffee. For a single enema try using 4

tablespoons of dried, organic camomile flowers to quart of distilled water.

Boil for 5 minutes and strain, use when cooled to body temperature.

A booklet on Coffee enemas and camomile enemas can be obtained from Gerson

supplies 01525 875739.

Using the coffee is very much dependant on the individual case, it can be

used to help with pain relief without the juices advocated in Gerson but

this is dependant on the circumstances. Personally I would only suggest it

for cancer patients in these circumstances in extremes i.e. severe pain as

it can provoke a massive de-toxification reaction which is not what you're

after here.

The coffee enemas advocated as part of the Gerson Therapy are backed up by

high levels of juicing and digestive aids etc as medications, using a one

off coffee enema can be quite provocative. However you patient is likely to

be very toxic and could benefit. Try the camomile first.

I would be happy to look at this further with you if you wish for this

particular patient.
