History of Coffee Enema and Why It Worksby Michael Sutton During WWI, Germany was blockaded by the Allies, and towards the end of the war the country experienced many shortages including pain killers, particularly morphine. The surgeons had a very difficult time at the front when trainloads of injured soldiers arrived who needed surgery and patching up. The surgeons only had enough morphine to help their patients through the surgery but had nothing to give them for post-op pain. Many of these soldiers were prescirbed water enemas for constipation. However, there was one thing that was always on hand, and that was coffee for the surgeons and doctors who often had to work around the clock and could only stay awake by drinking coffee. Sometimes there was coffee left over in the pot, and the nurses decided to use it in the water enemas. They reasoned: "Since the coffee is doing the doctors so much good, perhaps it will help the patients too." And, indeed, the patients reported that they were getting pain relief from the coffee enemas. After the war, intrigued by the nurses' experience, two German professors investigated the effects of introducing caffeine into the rectum of lab animals. They found that the caffeine entered the liver via the portal system and caused an increased flow of bile. This bile, in turn, allowed accumulated posons and toxins to be released and evacuated from the body. Years later, realizing the importance of detoxification, Dr. Gerson researched and then incorporated coffee enemas into his therapy. The continued ingestion of juices and enemas throughout the day is critical for the elimination of poisonous substances from the body. As he noted, "A patient is unlikely to die from cancer, but from the toxins accumulated in the body." Frequent coffee enemas largely eliminate the need for sedation. They also help to reduce severe pain, nausea, general nervous tension and depression. It should be noted, however, that after heavy doses of pain medication, coffee enemas do not work immedieately.
