Since as far back as early as the late twenties of this century, pioneers in functional and alternative medicine have integrated coffee enemas into holistic treatment strategies to address issues ranging from cancer and parasites to constipation and liver dysfunction, thyroid issues and many more. Here is just a snapshot of what some medical doctors and other health practitioners say about them.
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD – the creator of the GAPS protocol
“Coffee enemas have been used as a healing remedy for some 100 years. Coffee enemas are considered to be one of the best ways of cleansing the liver and speeding up the detoxification process in the body”
Dr. Max Gerson, MD – the creator of the Gerson Protocol
“A cup of coffee taken by mouth has an entirely different effect. It contains 0.1g-1.5g of caffeine. It heightens the reflex response, lowers the blood pressure, increases the heart rate, perspiration, causes insomnia and heart palpitations. Furthermore, the local irritations stimulate stomach motility. Therefore, coffee drinking should be discouraged except when it is needed to be taken to eliminate the castor oil from the stomach during the castor oil enema, as prescribed for cancer patients.Coffee enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall. In as much as the detoxification of the body is of the greatest importance, especially in the beginning, it is absolutely necessary to administer frequent enemas, day and night. On the average, we give coffee enemas every 4 hours, day and night, and even more frequently again if severe pain, nausea, general nervous tension and depression occur. Enemas also help against spasms, pain, and difficulties resulting from the sudden withdrawal of all intoxicating sedation. I lost several patients by Coma Hepaticum since I did not know, and therefore neglected, the vital importance of frequent and regularly continued elimination of poisonous substances with the help of juices, enemas, etc. Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver.”
Dr Nicholas Gonzales M.D. – cancer doctor and researcher
“Of the hundreds of Dr William Donald Kelley’s cancer patients I interviewed during my research study, virtually every one reported significant symptomatic relief from the enemas. In my own practice, patients repeatedly report the same improved well-being and relief of symptoms after a coffee enema. The enemas, in my experience, appear to be safe. I have yet to document a single serious side effect either in the thousands of Dr William Donald Kelley patients I evaluated, or in my own practice. I’ve been using coffee enemas for decades with only one effect: I felt better from the first one I did. Coffee enemas are extremely powerful, one of the most powerful detox procedures that we use. My whole staff does coffee enemas. They just feel better when they do. The backed up toxic waste makes you feel sick, and we believe it can also lead to tumour formation. Coffee enemas help the liver clean out, help eliminate toxic chemicals more efficiently, and make you feel better.””

“Gut holds the key to a healthy body. Once the gut starts to age, we will start getting older! Seeing our diet today, we must persistently administer coffee enema daily in order to be healthy and to live longer. Polyps and colorectal cancer are frequently found at rectum, sigmoid and places where faeces are likely to stagnate. Those unwanted, indigestive or poisonous substances, amino acid decomposed wastes such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, methyl indole, amines, ammonia and etc., must be excreted from the body advisably within 24 hours, so that the body is able to maintain a balanced body system. I have been doing coffee enemas daily for 34 years (as of 2013), and I do that daily to keep my gut clean. If I discontinue, I’m still able to naturally open bowel within the next 1-2 days. To maintain a good health and youthful appearance, having a clean gut is the first criteria. I was only aware of this at the age of 40, so I began to revolutionise my life. I’m already 65 years old but I still live a vibrant life! (2004). Longevity of life depends on how well a clean stomach and intestinal phases are maintained. This is not an exaggeration, because the intestinal condition is very closely related to vascular system and other organs. After doing coffee enemas, obese people should be able to slim down, restore to normal weight.” Dr Hiromi Shinya, M.D., the founder of colonoscopy surgery and the medical team leader of the late former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, also served as former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone’s attending physician. As of today, in the United States and Japan, Dr Hiromi has treated stomach and colon of over 350,000 patients. Dr Hiromi had found the intestinal phases of a few of 10,000 patients – that he coached to administer coffee enema – very good and healthy. Many people tend to rely on laxative to solve constipation and faecal impaction. However, I must warn you as a doctor that laxative has side effects, such as toxicity to bowel movement, and mucosa of bowel. Even if the herbal medicines such as aloe, senna or rhuberbe contain chemical substance ‘anthracin’ that changes the colour of mucosa of bowel, herbal medicine causes deposition of pigment called ‘melanosis’ which leads to intestinal cancer or polyp. The more you take laxative, the less of bowel movement you will have. Coffee enema is one of the methods to clean the colon by improving constipation and faecal impaction. You can use coffee enema twice a day without disturbing the function of small intestine because it only cleans the left side of the large intestine. People who use coffee enema have good intestinal phase, and good bowel movement with few constipation and faecal impaction. Most of my friends are using coffee enema once or twice a day although they are not suffering from constipation. They would like to keep clean colon with clean fold of bowel. Especially crud and food scum tend to pile up at the left of large intestine. Another profound effect of coffee enema is that toxin and body waste in the blood can be removed more efficiently. After nutrition of food you eat is digested and absorbed in small intestine, food scum and undigested material stay in the fold of colon and bowel wall. If it stays more than a day, decomposition and fermentation will progress and generate toxin. It is important to get rid of remnants of food as faeces using coffee enema before decomposition and fermentation.”
Dr Ralph Moss – Ph.D. Cancer researcher and author
“When I first heard the words ‘coffee’ and ‘enema’ 25 years ago, I almost fell off my chair laughing. Eventually that joke wore thin, when I discovered that coffee enemas were a serious part of alternative medicine (CAM). The National Institutes of Health has even given $1.4 million to find out if coffee enemas, along with supplements and diet, can fight pancreatic cancer. I believe, on empirical grounds, that coffee enemas are helpful to many people.”
Dr William Donald Kelley D.D.S., M.S. cancer researcher and author
“A high, retention enema, using coffee, should be taken to aid in the elimination of toxic waste material from the body. The coffee enema should be taken daily for as long as one is on Metabolic Medicine’s Cancer Cure Program. The coffee enema is very stimulating to the liver and is the greatest aid in elimination of the liver’s toxic wastes.
The coffee enema, besides stimulating liver detoxification, also has beneficial effects in cleaning the colon. Coffee is an excellent solvent for encrusted waste accumulated along the walls of the colon. The caffeine also directly stimulates the peristaltic muscle to contract more powerfully and loosen such deposits, which are occasionally visible as hard, black material and ‘ropes’ of mucus.
Essentially, the coffee enemas help the liver perform a task for which it was not designed — that of elimination in 1 or 2 years the accumulated wastes from many years of living in ignorance of the laws of nature.
In many cases, the enema relieves distress and gives a sense of well-being and cleanliness never before experienced. The proper removal of toxins and debris from the colon is absolutely essential in all conditions of disease and ill health.”

“If you’ve been doing your research on chronic and autoimmune diseases, chances are you’ve come across coffee enemas. This traditional healing practice is used as a detoxification and cleansing method, and has been gaining traction in recent years. If you want to learn more about the benefits of this procedure, read on for 10 reasons why you should try a coffee enema today!
Improved Digestion – Coffee enemas can help with digestion-related issues like constipation, bloating and cramping by stimulating the digestive tract to flush out toxins and waste.
Cleanses the Colon – Coffee enemas also help cleanse the colon by flushing out pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and other toxins from the intestines. This helps improve overall gut health and reduce inflammation in the body.
Boosts Energy Levels – Coffee enemas can also boost energy levels by increasing blood flow to the colon and helping your body absorb more nutrients from food, as well as reducing na overall toxic load in the body. This can lead to higher energy levels throughout the day and improved overall well-being.
Enhances Mental Clarity – As coffee enemas help your body absorb more nutrients and reduce the toxic load, they can also enhance mental clarity by providing more oxygen to the brain cells which boosts cognitive function.
Detoxifies Your System – The healing compounds in coffee solution is absorbed through the walls of your intestines which helps detoxify your system by helping your body to produce more glutathione and removing unwanted toxins from your body to help keep it functioning optimally.
Improves Liver Function – Coffee enemas have also been shown to improve liver function by stimulating bile production which helps aiding in detoxification processes that take place in the liver itself.
Supports Immune System Function – The antioxidants found in coffee have been linked to boosting immunity which can help protect against pathogens that could cause illness or infection if left unchecked in our bodies for too long without proper support from our immune systems.
Reduces Pain & Inflammation – The anti-inflammatory properties of theophylline in coffee solution can help reduce pain caused by inflammation such as joint pain, muscle aches, headaches and other pain sources.
Relieves Stress & Anxiety – coffee solution activates parasympathetic system leaving you calm and relaxed.
Increases Libido – Lastly, some people report increased libido after taking a coffee enema due to its ability to increase circulation throughout the body including areas related to sexual activity and reducing the level of unspent hormones and xenohormones.”
