Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is a safe and effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. This treatment aims to restore, strengthen and maintain the proper function of the colon by using purified water to soften and get rid of waste by stimulating the natural peristalsis of the colon.
Coffee enema is very useful in restoring the liver. The caffeine in coffee administered as an enema detoxifies the liver and is the primary therapeutic approach of the Gerson Therapy. The liver is the main organ for the regeneration of the body’s metabolism for the transformation of food from intake to output.
The coffee enema is being retained in the gut for 12 to 15 minutes, and the body's blood makes a full circulation through the liver every three minutes. The haemorrhoidal blood vessels dilate from the exposure to the caffeine; in turn, the liver’s portal veins dilate too.
Simultaneously, the bile ducts expand with blood, the bile flow increases, and the smooth muscles of these internal organs relax. The blood serum and its components are detoxified as this vital fluid passes through individual’s caffeinated liver.
The quart of coffee being retained in the bowel stimulates the visceral nervous system, promoting peristalsis. The coffee delivered through bowel dilutes the bile and causes a greater increase in bile flow. There is flushing of toxic bile, which is further affected by body’s enzymatic catalyst known to physiologists as glutathione S-transferase. This enzyme quenches free radicals that leave the liver and gallbladder as bile salts flowing through the duodenum. The bile salts are carried away by peristalsis in the gut, travelling from the small intestine, through the colon, and out the rectum.
Regular saunas heat the skin superficially, causing opening of the sweat glands and allowing excess water to escape. Infra-red waves penetrate to a depth of 5-7 cm. At this depth our fat cells are stimulated causing a release of toxins to the surface.
Compared to other saunas which only heat 20% of the air, 93% of the heat energy emitted from far infra-red sauna is absorbed by our tissues, the reason is the energy emitted by far infra-red matches our own body's energy. Vibration of infra-red waves assists the body in cleansing of harmful toxins, cellular purification and weight loss.
Infra-red waves can also provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain skin conditions, by penetrating deeply into our joints, muscles and tissues, increasing oxygen flow and circulation. Heat therapy has been shown in several medical studies to have health benefits.
