Gretchen: I do them and think they help me feel better. It took me a while to get motivated to try them, though. The caffeine is supposed to cleanse toxins from the liver. I think Dr.Kolb said they raise your level of Glutathione. I haven't researched it at length, so maybe Patty or someone can say more.

Gretchen, You can get glutathione in your foods. It is high in things like watermelon and fruits. I will post the article I linked to, as I think it needs to be reiterated. Coffee enemas are one of the best and most effective ways to remove toxins quickly from the body. So quickly, in fact, that when Dr. Gerson was treating his cancer patients, he found that the administration of coffee enemas made the difference between life or death to his patients....those who did not receive the enemas after their toxins were dislodged through the daily juicing died. Those that took the juices and received the enemas survived cancer and lived! It was the juices that broke down the cancerous tumors and cells, but it was the coffee enema that moved those toxic breakdown products to the outside of the body quickly. Coffee enemas stimulate the bile ducts and

expand them to quickly eliminate the toxins with the enema (this is where the glutathione comes in). I have done them daily when necessary, and while they can have a depleting effect if done too often and without the benefits of the added juices, they have a fantastic effect on health when done properly. My husband did them daily for several years. You may want to look into them, but also make sure you are juicing as well. Patty Here's the glutathione article: http://www.wholefoods.com/healthinfo/wholehealth/glutathione.htmlGlutathioneWhat Is It?Glutathione is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is an importantpart of the body's antioxidant defense system. Glutathione iscomposed of three different amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid,and glycine. Vitamins B6 and riboflavin are critical for maintainingadequate levels

of glutathione within the body. Research suggeststhat a variety of minerals, including copper and selenium, have astrong influence on cellular levels of glutathione. In addition,selenium is an essential part of many different forms of glutathionethat exist in the body.Because of its antioxidant properties, glutathione neutralizesdamaging free radicals and peroxide molecules, and rechargesoxidized vitamin C, so that the body may reuse it. Glutathione isrequired for a variety of metabolic processes. In addition,glutathione bolsters the structure of body proteins and assists inthe transport of amino acids across cell membranes.Interestingly, the phytochemical limonene may boost the body'ssynthesis of a glutathione-containing enzyme that has antioxidantproperties and helps to detoxify chemicals. Limonene is found incitrus fruit peels, cherries, green foods (celery, fennel), soyproducts, and wheat. Several

foods contain naturally occurringglutathione, including avocado, watermelon, asparagus, grapefruit,potato, acorn squash, strawberries, orange, tomato, cantaloupe,broccoli, okra, peach, zucchini, and spinach. Note that there are noknown interactions of glutathione with food. Although a RecommendedDietary Allowance (RDA) has not been established for glutathione, itis critical for optimal health.Health BenefitsGlutathione has several health benefits. Optimal amounts ofglutathione are necessary for supporting the immune system, and, inparticular, glutathione is required for replication of thelymphocyte immune cells. Glutathione also helps the liver todetoxify chemicals, such as acetaminophen (active ingredient in painrelief medication), copper, and cadmium. Scientists speculate thatincreasing consumption of antioxidants, such as glutathione, earlyin life may promote longevity and reduce chronic disease.

Researchis currently exploring the potential benefits of glutathione forseveral conditions including cancer, heart disease, memory loss,osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, cornea disorders, kidneydysfunction, eczema, liver disorders, poisoning by heavy metals, andimmunodepression that occurs in diseases such as AIDS.DIETARY SOURCES OF GLUTATHIONE: Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidantand detoxifying agent whose protective role has been demonstrated innumerous clinical studies.GSH is synthesized rapidly in the liver, kidneys, and other tissuesof the body, including the gastrointestinal tract. This process iseffected by aging and disease, as both of these conditions result inreduced tissue and blood levels of glutathione.Dietary forms of glutathione are efficiently absorbed into theblood, however the same is not true for glutathione supplements inhumans. When healthy subjects were given a single dose of

up to3,000 mg of glutathione researchers found there was no increase inblood glutathione levels. (Witschi A, Reddy S, Stofer B, LauterburgBH. The systemic availability of oral glutathione. Eur J ClinPharmacol 1992;43(6):667-9.) The authors of this study concluded "itis not feasible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinicallybeneficial extent by the oral administrating of a single dose of 3 gof glutathione." and coworkers (ston CJ, Meyer CG,Srilakshmi JC.Vitamin C elevates red blood cell glutathione in healthy adults. AmJ Clin Nutr 58:103-5, 1993) found that blood glutathione levels rosenearly 50% in healthy individuals taking 500 mg of vitamin C daily.Vitamin C facilitates an increase in blood glutathione levels bysupplying the body with a nutrient that is critical to themanufacture of it.In addition, to vitamin C, dietary sources of glutathione andseveral other nutritional

compounds can help increase glutathionelevels including N-acetylcysteine (NAC), alpha-lipoic acid,glutamine, methionine, and undenatured whey protein (Bounous, G.,and Gold, P., The biological activity of undenatured dietary wheyproteins [immunocal]: role of glutathione, Clin. Invest. Med. (1991)14(4):296-309.). N-acetylcysteine has been used in combination withglutamic acid (or glutamine) and glycine (, J. at www.cfsn.com)and in addition, NAC has been studied in combination with dietaryproteins (Quig, D., Cysteine metabolism and metal toxicity,Alternative Medicine Review (1998) 3(4):262-270.).HERBS: The herb milk-thistle, an excellent source of the antioxidantcompound silymarin may help to prevent glutathione depletion in theliver. Silymarin is many times more potent in antioxidant activitythan the better known antioxidant vitamins E and vitamin C. Theprotective effect of silymarin against liver damage has

beendemonstrated in a number of scientific studies. Silymarin has beenshown to protect against liver damage by extremely toxic chemicals(this toxicity is mediated by their ability to produce dangerous anddestructive unstable compounds called free radicals) includingamanita toxin, carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, and praseodymiumnitrate. Silymarin enhances detoxification in the liver bypreventing the depletion of glutathione. Glutathione in the liver isessential to the liver's ability to detoxify. The higher the liverglutathione content, the greater the liver's capacity to detoxifyharmful chemicals. Chemicals which can damage the liver, (includingalcohol and acetominophen), cause the concentration of glutathionein the liver is substantially reduced, making the hepatocytes (livercells) susceptible to damage. Silymarin not only prevents thedepletion of glutathione induced by alcohol and other toxins(Chrungoo VJ

et al. Indian J Exp Biol. 1997 Jun;35(6):611-7.), butcan increase the level of glutathione in the cells of the liver(hepatocytes) (Valenzuela A et al. Planta Med. 1989 Oct;55(5):420-2.), and possibly by up to 35%.Curcumin may also be useful as an agent to increase tissueglutathione levels (Dickinson, D.A., Iles, K.E., Zhang, H., Blank,V., and Forman, H.J., Curcumin alters EpRE and AP-1 bindingcomplexes and elevates glutamate-cysteine ligase gene expression,FASEB J. (2003) 17(3):473-475.)Alpha Lipoic Acid has also demonstrated it's ability to increaseglutathione levels and act as a potent antioxidant in numerousscientific studies.VITAMINS & MINERALS: vitamin B6, riboflavin, and selenium arerequired in the manufacture of glutathione, and adequate dietaryconsumption of foods rich in (or supplementation with) thesevitamins and minerals can help the body to optimize

glutathioneproduction.MILK PRODUCTS & MEAT:Dietary glutathione occurs in highest amountsin fresh (uncooked) meats, in moderate amounts in certain raw fruitsand vegetables, and is absent or found only in small amounts ingrains and pasteurized dairy products (JONES DP, COATES RJ, FLAGGEW, et al. (1992) Glutathione in Foods listed in the National CancerInstitute's Health Habits and History Food Frequency Questionnaire.Nutr Cancer 17: 57-75 ).Foods richest in sulfur-containing amino acids are usually the bestsource of glutathione. Although undenatured whey protein is one ofthe best precursors (building blocks) for glutathione, it containsonly moderate levels of naturally occuring glutathione. Freshlyprepared (rare or raw) meats, raw (unpasturized) milk, and raw eggsare also an especially rich source of glutathione.Cooking reduces glutathione content, and storage also impacts theglutathione content

of foods. In human breast milk put aside forlater use by breast-fed babies, a 73-79% loss of glutathioneoccurred when the milk was either kept at room temperature orrefrigerated for two hours. (Ankrah NA, Appiah-Opong R, Dzokoto C.Human breastmilk storage and the glutathione content. J TropPediatr. 2000;46(2):111-3.)FRUITS & VEGETABLES: Fresh fruits and vegetables provide excellentlevels of glutathione, but cooked foods contained far less or noneat all, and highly processed foods contain less than minimallyprocessed cooked foods. Glutathione assays of fruits and vegetablesmay yield contrasting results because glutathione levels vary bothdiurnally (KOIKE S, PATTERSON BD (1988) Diurnal variation ofglutathione levels in tomato seedlings. Hort Sci 23: 713-714; SCHUPPR, RENNENBERG H (1988) Diurnal changes in the glutathione content ofspruce needles (Picea abies L.) Plant Sci 57: 113-117 ) with thestage of

development of the plant (EARNSHAW BA, JOHNSON MA (1987)Control of wild carrot somatic embryo development by antioxidants.Plant Physiol 85: 273-276;), and due to various environmentalfactors (DE KOK LJ, DE KAN PJL, TANCZOS OG, KUIPER PJC (1981)Sulphate-induced accumulation of glutathione and frost-tolerance ofspinach leaf tissue. Physiol Plant 53: 435-438; WISE RR, NAYLOR AW(1987) Chilling-enhanced photooxidation. The peroxidativedestruction of lipids during chilling injury to photosynthesis andultrastructure. Plant Physiol 83: 272-277). Asparagus contains moreglutathione than all other fruits and vegetables analyzed to date.(, D.P. and others: Glutathione in foods listed in the NationalCancer Institute's health habits and history food frequencyquestionnaire, Nutrition and Cancer 17 (1), p. 57, 1992.) In a studywhich compared the overall antioxidant activity of potatoes, bellpeppers, carrots, onions and broccoli,

potatoes ranked secondhighest after broccoli.Per serving, asparagus, avocadoes, asparagus, squash, okra,cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, spinach, walnuts, garlic, and rawtomatoes have the highest glutathione content compared to othervegetables and are particularly rich dietary sources of glutathione(please see the Table 1. below).Table 1.

Rogene,

Low MSH is horrible, even though you feel better after removal, seems you still have to deal with Low MSH issues... I would love to raise my level or now how to raise it.... Dr. Kolb does an IV treatment called something like glutithion or something....She also recommended Coffee enemia's........ I don't know and still don't

understand what to do to bring up my MSH..... Got a book called mastering Leptin, but hard to read for me.. I read a page and forget what I just read or my eyes start to cross.... Maybe I can read more of it soon.

Your boyfriend has an enema bag...is that what you meant? If so, you just need a few more utensils. Here are the directions. They are in the files section. I hope this posts right, with no long lines. If it does, I will repost it. Patty NOTE: It is a good idea to start with a warm water enema first, to remove the wastes present and ready to be eliminated. Then follow with the coffee enema for full benefit. BASIC DIRECTIONS (1) Boil 1 quart/1 liter water, with 3 rounded tablespoons of freshly ground coffee in non-metal pan (I use glass)over med heat. Use only filtered, purified or distilled water, not tap water. Do not use a coffee maker. Use only organically grown, non-decaffeinated coffee beans. Store coffee beans in the freezer to retain freshness. (2) Allow coffee to boil for 5-15 min, to evaporate the oils. (3) Let cool to body temp. (4) Strain, using a fine-mesh

stainless steel tea strainer(it looks like screen wire) to strain out the grounds, leaving the "silt". Since many of the beneficial elements for detoxification in the coffee are fiber-bound, it isn't a good idea to use a paper strainer, or even a cloth,unless it's got a fairly coarse weave. (5) Filtered water may be added back to make one full quart. Using an enema bag, insert coffee mixture into rectum. Lie on your right side for 15 min with knees toward your chest, breathing deeply. (6) Evacuate bowels. Additional comments on the coffee enema: "Gerson knew that the coffee enema dilated the bile ducts and caused a flushing of toxic bile from the liver. (Drinking coffee constricts the bile ducts). He also knew that this was the most effective method for detoxification. Since Gerson's time various active ingredients in coffee have been identified and most interestingly, the palmitates present in coffee increase the binding

of toxic elements by the bile 7-fold and this enzyme-enhancing ability in the liver and small intestine does not allow reabsorption of the toxic bile. Most cholerectic herbs do not ensure this complete removal of toxins but only an increase in bile flow. In order to assist detoxification I often recommend the coffee enema. They guard against a toxic build-up that can make you feel so dreadful and in this way help the body to heal. It is important to remember that the coffee enemas go hand-in-hand with the juices: no enemas - no juices and no juices - no enemas. The juices will remove toxicity from the tissues and the coffee enema ensures its removal to the outside. If used without the juices they will ultimately have a depleting effect on nutrients. The rule of thumb is - 3 juices (3 x 250mls) per coffee enema. If you increase the juices then you can safely increase the enemas." From "Detoxing and the Flagging Liver(part 2 of 3)by

(From Gerson Healing Newsletter Vol. 15, No. 3, May-June, 2000) http://www.gerson.org/healing/articles/nl_detoxingliver.htm QUESTION: How does coffee taken orally differ from taking it as a rectal enema? ANSWER: Coffee taken by mouth is a vasoconstrictor causing capillary and bile duct constriction. Drinking coffee is damaging to the stomach due to the aromatic fatty acids (which are not absorbed through the colon since the aromatics are boiled off in the "coffee enema recipe" preparation). Drinking coffee is an artificial stimulant and appetite suppressant as well as creating a more acidic environment in the body which is counter productive to healing. When taking the coffee enema, the caffeine and other components act to relax and open the bile ducts releasing toxins (as much as seven times the normal rate) from the liver. The glutathione-S transferase system is activated as well to enhance the functions of the immune system. Simply put, one is health giving and on is not. Choose the "coffee break" that is cleansing and supportive. Thousands of people have found this to be true. The coffee enema is also an excellent method for pain relief that is caused by toxic build up in the liver and colon. Remember, Dr. Gerson first developed his Therapy to cure his migraine headaches. However, a word of caution: any more than one coffee enema a day should be taken with sufficient juices and supplements to maintain a healthy balance in the body. Dr. Gerson spent many years developing a safe and effective therapy that requires some attention and study by the users. Still have questions?

On 3/10/07, Tricia Trish < glory2glory1401 > wrote: Gretchen, You can get glutathione in your foods. It is high in things like watermelon and fruits. I will post the article I

linked to, as I think it needs to be reiterated. Coffee enemas are one of the best and most effective ways to remove toxins quickly from the body. So quickly, in fact, that when Dr. Gerson was treating his cancer patients, he found that the administration of coffee enemas made the difference between life or death to his patients....those who did not receive the enemas after their toxins were dislodged through the daily juicing died. Those that took the juices and received the enemas survived cancer and lived! It was the juices that broke down the cancerous tumors and cells, but it was the coffee enema that moved those toxic breakdown products to the outside of the body quickly. Coffee enemas stimulate the bile ducts and expand them to quickly eliminate the toxins with the enema (this is where the glutathione comes in). I have done them daily when necessary,

and while they can have a depleting effect if done too often and without the benefits of the added juices, they have a fantastic effect on health when done properly. My husband did them daily for several years. You may want to look into them, but also make sure you are juicing as well. Patty Here's the glutathione article: http://www.wholefoo ds.com/healthinfo/wholehealth/glutathione.htmlGlutathioneWhat Is It?Glutathione is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is an importantpart of the body's antioxidant defense system. Glutathione iscomposed of three different amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid,and glycine. Vitamins B6 and riboflavin are critical for maintainingadequate levels of glutathione within the body.

Research suggeststhat a variety of minerals, including copper and selenium, have astrong influence on cellular levels of glutathione. In addition,selenium is an essential part of many different forms of glutathione that exist in the body.Because of its antioxidant properties, glutathione neutralizesdamaging free radicals and peroxide molecules, and rechargesoxidized vitamin C, so that the body may reuse it. Glutathione is required for a variety of metabolic processes. In addition,glutathione bolsters the structure of body proteins and assists inthe transport of amino acids across cell membranes.Interestingly, the phytochemical limonene may boost the body's synthesis of a glutathione-containing enzyme that has antioxidantproperties and helps to detoxify chemicals. Limonene is found incitrus fruit peels, cherries, green foods (celery, fennel), soyproducts, and wheat. Several foods contain naturally

occurringglutathione, including avocado, watermelon, asparagus, grapefruit,potato, acorn squash, strawberries, orange, tomato, cantaloupe,broccoli, okra, peach, zucchini, and spinach. Note that there are no known interactions of glutathione with food. Although a RecommendedDietary Allowance (RDA) has not been established for glutathione, itis critical for optimal health.Health BenefitsGlutathione has several health benefits. Optimal amounts of glutathione are necessary for supporting the immune system, and, inparticular, glutathione is required for replication of thelymphocyte immune cells. Glutathione also helps the liver todetoxify chemicals, such as acetaminophen (active ingredient in pain relief medication), copper, and cadmium. Scientists speculate thatincreasing consumption of antioxidants, such as glutathione, earlyin life may promote longevity and reduce chronic disease. Researchis currently

exploring the potential benefits of glutathione forseveral conditions including cancer, heart disease, memory loss,osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, cornea disorders, kidneydysfunction, eczema, liver disorders, poisoning by heavy metals, and immunodepression that occurs in diseases such as AIDS.DIETARY SOURCES OF GLUTATHIONE: Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidantand detoxifying agent whose protective role has been demonstrated innumerous clinical studies. GSH is synthesized rapidly in the liver, kidneys, and other tissuesof the body, including the gastrointestinal tract. This process iseffected by aging and disease, as both of these conditions result inreduced tissue and blood levels of glutathione.Dietary forms of glutathione are efficiently absorbed into theblood, however the same is not true for glutathione supplements inhumans. When healthy subjects were given a single dose of up to3,000 mg of

glutathione researchers found there was no increase inblood glutathione levels. (Witschi A, Reddy S, Stofer B, LauterburgBH. The systemic availability of oral glutathione. Eur J ClinPharmacol 1992;43(6):667-9.) The authors of this study concluded "it is not feasible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinicallybeneficial extent by the oral administrating of a single dose of 3 gof glutathione." and coworkers (ston CJ, Meyer CG,Srilakshmi JC. Vitamin C elevates red blood cell glutathione in healthy adults. AmJ Clin Nutr 58:103-5, 1993) found that blood glutathione levels rosenearly 50% in healthy individuals taking 500 mg of vitamin C daily.Vitamin C facilitates an increase in blood glutathione levels bysupplying the body with a nutrient that is critical to themanufacture of it.In addition, to vitamin C, dietary sources of glutathione andseveral other nutritional compounds can help

increase glutathionelevels including N-acetylcysteine (NAC), alpha-lipoic acid,glutamine, methionine, and undenatured whey protein (Bounous, G.,and Gold, P., The biological activity of undenatured dietary whey proteins [immunocal]: role of glutathione, Clin. Invest. Med. (1991)14(4):296-309.). N-acetylcysteine has been used in combination withglutamic acid (or glutamine) and glycine (, J. at www.cfsn.com)and in addition, NAC has been studied in combination with dietaryproteins (Quig, D., Cysteine metabolism and metal toxicity,Alternative Medicine Review (1998) 3(4):262-270.).HERBS: The herb milk-thistle, an excellent source of the antioxidant compound silymarin may help to prevent glutathione depletion in theliver. Silymarin is many times more potent in antioxidant activitythan the better known antioxidant vitamins E and vitamin C. Theprotective

effect of silymarin against liver damage has beendemonstrated in a number of scientific studies. Silymarin has beenshown to protect against liver damage by extremely toxic chemicals(this toxicity is mediated by their ability to produce dangerous anddestructive unstable compounds called free radicals) includingamanita toxin, carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, and praseodymiumnitrate. Silymarin enhances detoxification in the liver bypreventing the depletion of glutathione. Glutathione in the liver is essential to the liver's ability to detoxify. The higher the liverglutathione content, the greater the liver's capacity to detoxifyharmful chemicals. Chemicals which can damage the liver, (includingalcohol and acetominophen), cause the concentration of glutathionein the liver is substantially reduced, making the hepatocytes (livercells) susceptible to damage. Silymarin not only prevents thedepletion of glutathione

induced by alcohol and other toxins (Chrungoo VJ et al. Indian J Exp Biol. 1997 Jun;35(6):611-7.), butcan increase the level of glutathione in the cells of the liver(hepatocytes) (Valenzuela A et al. Planta Med. 1989 Oct;55(5):420-2.), and possibly by up to 35%. Curcumin may also be useful as an agent to increase tissueglutathione levels (Dickinson, D.A., Iles, K.E., Zhang, H., Blank,V., and Forman, H.J., Curcumin alters EpRE and AP-1 bindingcomplexes and elevates glutamate-cysteine ligase gene expression, FASEB J. (2003) 17(3):473-475.)Alpha Lipoic Acid has also demonstrated it's ability to increaseglutathione levels and act as a potent antioxidant in numerousscientific studies.VITAMINS & MINERALS: vitamin B6, riboflavin, and selenium are required in the manufacture of glutathione, and adequate dietaryconsumption of foods rich in (or supplementation with) thesevitamins and minerals

can help the body to optimize glutathioneproduction.MILK PRODUCTS & MEAT:Dietary glutathione occurs in highest amountsin fresh (uncooked) meats, in moderate amounts in certain raw fruitsand vegetables, and is absent or found only in small amounts in grains and pasteurized dairy products (JONES DP, COATES RJ, FLAGGEW, et al. (1992) Glutathione in Foods listed in the National CancerInstitute's Health Habits and History Food Frequency Questionnaire.Nutr Cancer 17: 57-75 ). Foods richest in sulfur-containing amino acids are usually the bestsource of glutathione. Although undenatured whey protein is one ofthe best precursors (building blocks) for glutathione, it containsonly moderate levels of naturally occuring glutathione. Freshly prepared (rare or raw) meats, raw (unpasturized) milk, and raw eggsare also an especially rich source of glutathione.Cooking reduces glutathione content, and storage also

impacts theglutathione content of foods. In human breast milk put aside forlater use by breast-fed babies, a 73-79% loss of glutathioneoccurred when the milk was either kept at room temperature orrefrigerated for two hours. (Ankrah NA, Appiah-Opong R, Dzokoto C. Human breastmilk storage and the glutathione content. J TropPediatr. 2000;46(2):111-3.)FRUITS & VEGETABLES: Fresh fruits and vegetables provide excellentlevels of glutathione, but cooked foods contained far less or none at all, and highly processed foods contain less than minimallyprocessed cooked foods. Glutathione assays of fruits and vegetablesmay yield contrasting results because glutathione levels vary bothdiurnally (KOIKE S, PATTERSON BD (1988) Diurnal variation of glutathione levels in tomato seedlings. Hort Sci 23: 713-714; SCHUPPR, RENNENBERG H (1988) Diurnal changes in the glutathione content ofspruce needles (Picea abies L.) Plant

Sci 57: 113-117 ) with thestage of development of the plant (EARNSHAW BA, JOHNSON MA (1987)Control of wild carrot somatic embryo development by antioxidants.Plant Physiol 85: 273-276;), and due to various environmentalfactors (DE KOK LJ, DE KAN PJL, TANCZOS OG, KUIPER PJC (1981) Sulphate-induced accumulation of glutathione and frost-tolerance ofspinach leaf tissue. Physiol Plant 53: 435-438; WISE RR, NAYLOR AW(1987) Chilling-enhanced photooxidation. The peroxidativedestruction of lipids during chilling injury to photosynthesis and ultrastructure. Plant Physiol 83: 272-277). Asparagus contains moreglutathione than all other fruits and vegetables analyzed to date.(, D.P. and others: Glutathione in foods listed in the NationalCancer Institute's health habits and history food frequency questionnaire, Nutrition and Cancer 17 (1), p. 57, 1992.) In a studywhich compared the overall antioxidant activity of potatoes,

bellpeppers, carrots, onions and broccoli, potatoes ranked secondhighest after broccoli.Per serving, asparagus, avocadoes, asparagus, squash, okra,cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, spinach, walnuts, garlic, and rawtomatoes have the highest glutathione content compared to other vegetables and are particularly rich dietary sources of glutathione(please see the Table 1. below).Table 1.
