It's your sounds like your kindneys are having a hard time. It also sounds like you may be dehydrated. Swelling and puffiness are often caused by dehydration, it's when the kidneys are holding on tightly to what water they have (so very concentrated in toxic waste) because they fear not getting enough water to keep the body balanced. I am assuming the back pain is in the kidney area too.

I suggest you do a full kidney cleanse. When you keep cleansing your liver, you release huge amounts amounts of acids and your liver needs to manage some of this.

You also need to start learning to alkalize your body, so the acids you release can be buffered by alkaline minerals.

You can find out more about acid alkaline pH balancing at the Ask Moreless forum: //www.curezone.org/forums/f.asp?f=740

Greetings,

Well, that's NOT a typical reaction to a coffee enema, for sure.

I think if I were you, I'd cut it back to "the minimum": 1 quart of distilled water, 2 tablepoons of S.A. Wilsons organic coffee (developed especially for enemas) and 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salts .


It doesn't sound to me like you've damaged anything; my mother-in-law has been taking coffee enemas everyday since the late 1970's when she attended Dr. Kelley's clinic and was cured of liver cancer...and she has no problems at all (and thousands of Gerson/Kelley patients could attest to the same).

My guess for the swelling would have been fluid retention caused by the salt and the baking soda...baking soda can cause pretty harsh levels of fluid retention, and the sodium in the baking soda AND a tablespoon of Sea Salt would add up to a lot of potential for extreme fluid retention - but you say you did it without both of those, and you still ahd the swelling/puffiness? That doesn't make sense to me (or ring any bells of similar things I've heard of or read).

Do you feel like you expel the majority of the coffee solution? If not, I'd follow the 'minimum' size/solution coffee enema, with a warm distilled water enema to make sure I was getting rid of ALL the enemas solution (which is bound to have a lot of liver toxins).

I'd also consider following that up the next morning with another water enema...just to make sure you don't have a bunch of liver toxins left in your intestines that are reabsorbing and making you swell. I'd give that a try, just to see if it made a difference or not. If it makes a difference, you'll at least know you're onto something 'right'.

That's about all I can think of...hopefully somebody else will know the "sure thing" answer.

YES. I have had the same BACK PAIN and SWELLING. It became pressure in my lower rectal colon. And cramps around my abdomen and large intestine. Like water retention or mucosal irritation. The back pain would come and go, but I had several times when I did a coffee enema during the day and then at night, I was kept up by abdominal cramping and disturbing discomfort. I have concluded that coffee enemas are NOT for me. It felt like after I did them, like I had low blood sugar, and like my blood pressure was off, and possibly my kidneys were retaining water too much or not draining properly. If there is a correlation between the kidneys and liver during this procedure, then yes, my kidneys couldn't keep up with this much water being absorbed into the colon. (FYI, I am 33 female) I am also someone who does not tolerate caffeine well in the drink form. And I read somewhere if you don't tolerate it in the drink form, don't put it up your butt!!! I also learned a bout 3 years ago that I have a narrowed ureter on one of my kidneys, so that is also a structural issue to consider, oh and also the fact that the very first time I tried a coffee enema (unsuccessfully and without good equipment), I got a UTI and kidney infection right after! I had no idea how that happened and didn't suspect it, but the doctor at the hospital tested my urine and pronounced me as having an advanced UTI. Very very uncomfortable. And right now at this very moment, I have ANOTHER UTI and kidney infection. After doing coffee enemas with a 8 oz syringe bulb about 2 or 3x a week. I am presently on Antibiotics . And I still feel like something is off. I am on the Dr. Lawrence Wilson nutritional balancing program for six months now, started Jan 2014, via one of the nutritionists who work through him...I regret doing this. This has done way more harm than I could have imagined or wanted. I advise everyone against doing coffee enemas. They are not safe. They are harmful. They push all the poo back up your colon, and then add more waste from the liver to that mix, and then expect your kidneys to clean up that mess. Don't do a coffee enema. It is not good.

Wow! Now, to me, that sounds more like punishment than a carefully thought-out liver dialysis program. Personally, I think the, ‘OP’ would benefit more from the realization and division of separate and distinct preparation, treatment, and conclusion protocols.

4 tbsp of ORGANICALLY-GROWN coffee is a lot - A whole lot! 2 quarts of water is also excessive; and the addition of Sea Salt to the enema solution isn’t really needed. True, having an electrolyte, or two, might be beneficial; but any such addition really isn’t necessary and might, indeed, be causing the, ‘OP’ to retain fluid and/or cause other chemical imbalances in his body. Baking soda! Where did that come from? It’s not part of a typical coffee enema regimen.

CAVEAT: I am NOT a doctor; nor, am I a cancer patient; I have no large amounts of toxin that need to be excreted from my body; no parasites, and I have no chronic health problem(s) that I’m actively combating, OK! So a full-blown Gerson Therapy, or a Hulda Clark purge the following suggestions are NOT! As suggestions only and, ‘food for thought’ here’s what I do for myself:

PREPARATION PROTOCOL: I have found that the best time of day to take a coffee enema is in the morning; and it’s a good idea to move your bowels BEFORE starting a coffee enema.

Eat an apple, or some other source of fresh vegetable fiber like a banana or strawberries, while you’re getting ready and preparing both the coffee solution, and enema. Ideally - ideally - you want to have an empty colon, and some fresh fruit fiber in your stomach BEFORE lying down to take a coffee enema.

ENEMA PROTOCOL: There is no inflexible rule that says you have to load up on organic coffee. 1 to 2 tsp of organically grown coffee might, very well, be sufficient. A far gentler and, quite possibly, more effective coffee enema program might also be found among the following (and admittedly personal) suggestions:

There’s a lot of talk about retention time. 12 to 15 minutes, and all the way up to 1 hour are frequent recommendations; however, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a 5 to 8 minute retention. In fact some people, with some health problems, might be better served by using a shorter fluid retention time.

Rather than just, ‘diving in’ with a head full of creatively imagined and largely inflexible rules, I think it more practical to proceed cautiously, use smaller quantities than are often recommended, and work into an enema routine more slowly. Then, see what specific amounts and time durations work best for each individual body, and particular health problem.

When it comes to coffee enemas there are no, ‘magic formulas’ - no, ‘this one is better than that one protocol’ - in any of the popularly recommended procedures.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, coffee (and other) enema treatments have always been regarded as being unconventional; and, consequently, the practice has been rather deliberately pushed outside the pale of modern corporate medical practice.

(None of which is meant to imply that coffee enema protocols are, ‘wrong’ per se; but that - without question - the practice is officially anathema to most of the large, excessively profit-driven, hospital and pharmaceutical corporations.)

It needs to be remembered that with coffee enema procedures there are few, ‘hard fast rules’. More than anything else it’s what works best for each individual; and, generally speaking, it’s always better to start out with smaller amounts while moving, incrementally, upwards towards the most frequent and most often recommended popular doses.

Doing two, back-to-back, 24 to 32 oz coffee enemas is, unquestionably, better than doing only one enema of any size; and, the treatment frequency used to produce observable improvement is also something that can (and, perhaps, should) be experimented with.

While the use of labor-intensive Gerson coffee enema + therapy for a genuinely critical ailment is a, ‘whole other ballgame’, I’m going to add that, regardless of whatever treatment quantities are used, and/or whatever daily diet is followed, I personally doubt taking back-to-back enemas less frequently than once a day for a minimum of (say) 3 to 4 months will produce any sort of salubrious and durable effect on anybody’s overall good health; but, again, that’s just my own personal opinion.

Baking soda is NOT an absolutely essential ingredient; and, in my personal opinion, might not even be as effective as whatever body position is assumed while the enema fluid is being ingested and held.

While I understand, ‘Why’ the baking soda and Sea Salt are being used, I feel no imperative need to add either form of sodium (Na+) to one of my own coffee enemas; and (This is just my personal opinion - OK!) in this particular case I believe the, ‘OP’ might very well be throwing his own body’s electrolytic balance off.

Whether a participant lies: on his right side, or on his left side, or on his back CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE in the physical result(s) he experiences. If the coffee solution is taken and retained on the right side of the body then the practitioner will be primarily irrigating the ascending colon. This is where the body absorbs its electrolytes from; and more of an effect upon electrolytic balance might be noticed.

In the alternative, while there will be a greater impact on electrolyte absorption and depletion on the right side of the body, there will also be less colon cleansing action. (Which for certain people might actually be a good thing!)

Lying on the left side of the body is referred to as a, ‘high colonic cleanse’. (‘High’ meaning, ‘thorough’.) The cleansing action is more extensive throughout both the descending and transverse colon.

However, lying on the back can produce an improved general flow of the enema fluid throughout the entire colon, and it also facilitates a more even distribution of the coffee mixture; but, again, there might be a more noticeable effect on electrolytic balance - OK.

(Personally, I would suggest that someone who isn’t experienced with coffee enema results and reactions should NOT lie on his back. To my own mind, when a person is just starting out with a coffee enema regimen, lying on either one side of the body, or the other seems to be a very good idea; and each participant should sellect whichever side works best for him; however, if it were me, …… I’d begin by lying on THE LEFT SIDE of my body.)

CONCLUSION PROTOCOL: Because it would be SELF-DEFEATING, Do NOT return to your regular diet. Avoid eating, ‘heavy’ fat-rich foods; and, instead, eat a lot of fresh vegetables; (The biblical Prophet Daniel’s so-called, ‘pulse’ diet.) and make sure to drink a sufficient - but not excessive - amount of water.

What do I do? In addition to drinking a mixture of 16 to 24 oz of fresh carrot and apple juice, everyday, I also add A LITTLE FRESH Celery juice into the mixture. (Never eat brown or discolored celery, OK.) For the rest of my daily fluid intake I'll drink an additional 32 to 64 fluid oz of carbon-filtered water.

(Now, at this point, some readers are going to ask whether or not this is enough water to support general health in an adult male? I don’t know? It might, or might not be; but, usually, I do quite well with it. In addition to monitoring my own thirst, I also watch both the color and frequency of urination in order to tell; and, generally speaking, the darker the urine color is then the larger the amount of daily water intake should be; just be careful NOT to overdo it!)

For whatever it’s worth: I avoid eating commercial restaurant and/or all other heavily processed: cold cuts, meats, and other, ‘fast foods’; and, I NEVER drink any sort of highly deleterious, ‘soda pop’ or any other carbonated beverage.

(If I had this personal taste - this acquired habit that I’ve observed in so very many people - I honestly think that I would have died, at least, 10 years ago; and, no, I’m NOT just, ‘whistling Dixie’!)

I, also, drink VERY LITTLE (heavily pesticide-infected) commercial coffee or tea; and I always look for the words, ‘organically grown’ or, ‘Non-GMO’ on the labels of everything that I eat. To my mind the dirtiest words in the English language are, ‘white’ or, ‘enriched’ or the equally harmful but even more subtle, ‘added’.

(By the way advertising expressions like, ‘whole grain’ and, ‘whole wheat’ are completely meaningless nutritional catchphrases.)

The final thing I’ll draw attention to is that, whenever I eat away from home, I avoid eating all forms of pork; and, if I’m unsure about how well the fresh vegetables have been washed, I’ll avoid eating them too. (All of which should reveal that I NEVER eat from anybody’s open buffet table - A monitored buffet table? Yes, but never from any sort of exposed buffet that’s open to the general public.)

If for no other reason: Just the amount of food preservatives people ingest from commercially prepared and/or supplied foods is more than enough reason for mature adults to involve themselves with routinely self-administered, ‘high colonics’.

(Organically grown: coffee, tea, cold-pressed vinegar, and purified water enemas among them.)

Yes, I have been feeling the same way! I just started coffee enemas and have only done 3 so far. I was fine with the water enemas that I did a few times before plunging into the coffee ones. The day following my first CE, I felt very bloated after the second and especially 3rd (all in one week), I have had back pain, some cramping similar to menstual or ovulation cramps and severe bloating. It looks like I am 4-6 mo pregnant. My back constantly aches and it's been 3 days since my last CE. Last night I resorted to a salt bath soak and that helped take the edge off and then I did a water enema. I hope I didn't do any damage. This is the strangest reaction. I'm not sure I want to try them again until I find out why I'm reacting this way.

Try doing 2 coffee enemas back to back, have breakfast and lunch and after a bowl movement.
After some lunch do two 10 minutes flushes each with only organic coffee. I use 3 table spoons for 4 pints of coffee and this is enough for both flushes. You may be using too much of liquid and/or feel discomfort for toxin release of first flush. I get a small amount of lower back pain, it seems to me enemas have a beneficial effect on cleaning the kidneys as well.
I wish I had done these years ago, I feel so much better in just 3 weeks of daily enemas.
Good luck....

That's a wrong combination you are using. Go to gerson therapy web page and get their coffee enema recipe which is a specific organic coffee (light roast, ground #7 ), 32oz water, 3 spoons coffee, filtered or distilled water , no tap water. I use distilled) Bring water to boil. Add coffee, boil for 3 mins, simmer for 15mins. Filter through a cloth, add water to make the 32oz. Lay on rihgt side fetal position, Insert coffee slow, hold for 13 or 15 mins. The red rubber hose should be inserted 8 or 10 inches. Put Vaseline first 2 inches.
Bicarbonate and salt causes inflamation, you absorb it all tru the rectum.

First off I would never alter the " standard coffee enema" protocol which is just pure mycotoxin free coffee in a pot of pure water boiled for 20 minutes and strained and cooled. During the enema your body will release toxin then take a charcoal activated pill to absorb the toxins so it does NOT recirculate and make you feel sick . I had this problem right after enema I felt so sick my ND figured it out in second I got on Springgreen 22 which is clay right after the enema I took that until it was gone then when it ran out I just took charcoal activated pill this cured the sick feeling.
