The Tree of Life Liver 6 Week Gallbladder, Fluke, Parasite, & Colon Cleanse Responsible for over 600 functions, the liver, the body’s largest organ, is obviously vital to our health and survival. Essentially, it acts as a defensive shield between what we take into the body and what enters our bloodstream. It filters about one fourth of our total blood volume every minute! Being the body’s first line of defense against incoming toxins, the liver is in many ways the MOST IMPORTANT ORGAN FOR DISEASE PREVENTION. When the liver/gallbladder system is weak or sluggish, the body becomes much more vulnerable to the onslaught of ingested toxins. Natural physicians of old understood the concept of averting disease by preventing toxemia and thus strongly emphasized periodic liver/gallbladder cleansing. We at the Tree of Life recommend the Liver, Gallbladder, Parasite, Fluke, & Colon Cleanse at least once a year. The leading cause of death in America is cancer. In an indirect way, the liver plays a very important role in protecting against cancer, by continuously filtering out the environmental toxins and carcinogens in our food, water and air. When these toxins and carcinogens enter the body, they quickly end up in the bloodstream and cells. The body eventually responds by creating tumors in an attempt to contain these toxins. The second leading cause of death in the United States is heart attacks and strokes. These, of course, are linked in many ways to a cholesterol build up, especially in the coronary arteries. A high cholesterol diet, typical of North America, leads to an overloading of the liver and excess cholesterol spilling into the bloodstream, making it nearly impossible for the liver to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Americans eat more animal products (i.e. red meat, chicken, fish, and dairy), which are the only source of harmful cholesterol, than almost any other nation. They therefore generally have the highest cholesterol levels. But, it is not only toxins and cholesterol that the liver deals with - it also helps regulate blood sugar levels. When the liver becomes exhausted, these functions and many others are compromised. It is imperative that we protect the liver so it can function at peak capacity. The most obvious solution to maintaining optimal liver function is to prevent its toxification and exhaustion. This means avoiding animal food, dairy, and rancid oils (ultimately adopting a predominantly raw, vegan diet), and periodically cleansing the liver. The liver cleanse is necessary for the elimination of old, accumulated fatty toxic sludge. The best way to improve our liver/gallbladder function is by stimulating it to cleanse and detoxify itself. It can then more efficiently detoxify our bloodstream, filtering out environmental toxins, prescription and other drugs, excess cholesterol, etc. As mentioned, the liver is affected by the tremendous amount of environmental toxins and poisons that it is exposed to. There are more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals in commercial use today, and about 1,000 new chemicals are introduced each year. It is shocking to note that only about 7% have been tested for adverse effects! Some research estimates that up to 80% of all cancers are a direct result of the chemicals in our air, water and food. A recent study found that Americans are exposed to 22 times the EPA suggested maximum level of dioxin. Dioxin, according to the Center for Disease Control, is one of the most acutely toxic chemicals and carcinogens ever released on the planet. It is now found virtually everywhere. Adverse drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, killing more people than AIDS, breast cancer, and traffic accidents. There were approximately 100,000 deaths from drug reactions in the year 2000. 30 million Americans take over-the-counter pain medications on a daily basis, resulting in approximately 100,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths per year. The liver naturally becomes overwhelmed by this onslaught of toxic drugs. It is estimated that over 20 million Americans have gallstones. About one million people a year will be diagnosed with gallstones and about 50 % of them will undergo surgery. Gallstones affect up to 25% of Americans at some point in their lives. The gall bladder’s primary function is to secrete bile and release it through the cystic duct. This duct joins the hepatic duct from the liver to create the common bile duct, which then empties into the upper part of the small intestine called the duodenum. Bile not only carries away and neutralizes poisons, but it stimulates and aids digestions by emulsifying fats, stimulating peristalsis, and acting as a natural laxative. When it gets clogged is cannot perform this function. Because of these high levels of toxins, which create an enormous stress on the liver, approximately 4.5 million people in the United States and 200 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C. Liver failure due to hepatitis C has now become the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The main causes of hepatitis, in general, and jaundice in part, are the use of drugs, alcohol, liver damage from viruses, bacteria, and fungus, excess animal protein, weight loss diets, and viral hepatitis. There are six known types of viral hepatitis, the most common being hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and what is now known as hepatitis C. There are also hepatitis D, E, and G. The best protection against hepatitis is to have a strong liver that cannot easily be invaded and infected. The results of toxic livers are manifesting themselves much more frequently now in the United States and at least 1 out of every 10 Americans has liver disease (approximately 25 million people). There are over 20,000 Americans desperately waiting for liver transplants. Hepatitis C has become an epidemic. Some medical professionals consider it at least 10 times more infectious than AIDS. The point is very clear - we need to take very special care of our liver by eating a healthy diet, avoiding environmental poisons, and undertaking a periodic liver/gallbladder cleanse. Ideally one would do at least one liver/gallbladder cleanse each year or two seven-day fasts. The Tree of Life offers guided fasts for physical health and spiritual well-being (i.e. Spiritual Fasting Program, 10-day Detox Program, etc.) as well as the Liver, Gallbladder, Parasite, Fluke, and Colon Cleanse. Currently, parasite and fluke infections in the world are becoming so common that nearly everyone becomes affected at some point. In other words, it’s no fluke! The Liver, Gallbladder, Parasite, Fluke, and Colon Cleanse is designed to keep these infections from becoming chronic. We are not suggesting that everybody has a parasite or a fluke infection, only that, from the point of view of parasitologists, it is highly likely that you will contract one at some point in your life. The more we strengthen our liver/gallbladder system, however, the less likely we are to get such an infection. The programs we are sharing with you help create a protective matrix that minimizes infection of the liver or gallbladder due to parasites and flukes. Many physicians throughout history have claimed that the liver/gallbladder flush is the single greatest practice for improving health. This may seem like a dramatic statement, however, over the years, we have found that there is significant truth to it. Although there are many good programs available specific to this purpose, most are quite complicated and disruptive to one’s daily schedule, and require medical supervision. Furthermore, they tend to use synthetic nutrients to facilitate the flush. Our 2 program is simple, does not interfere significantly with daily life, uses all natural products, and provides powerful detoxification on many levels. After 25 years of experimenting with different liver/gallbladder flush programs, the one outlined here has been found to be the most successful. This flush, combined with our 10-Day Juice Fast Detox Program, is extremely powerful in countering an excess of toxins in the body. Dr. Cousens would like to acknowledge Dr. Bob Marshal for his help and support in developing this program. We have supervised literally hundreds of people through the liver flush. Most had dramatic changes in their health overnight and close to 100% of all people passed clearly visible gallstones in their stool - frequently from 20 to 100 of them in the first flush. A small percentage of people do not pass stones on their first flush but do so after the second or third one. Due to the silent but toxic nature of the commercial oils hidden in many foods, eating these foods causes a stagnant bile syndrome, precipitating gallstones and bile sludge throughout the bilary tract. This is so common in the U.S. that literally everyone passes stones after the first flush. After your own first flush, you may be quite surprised when you see visible stones in the toilet. You will begin to realize the importance of eating healthy oils and the striking consequences of eating unhealthy ones! The stones vary from person to person but the average person has some small ones, such as gravel or pea-size, others the size of small and large marbles, and big ones that look like wads of green clayish chewing gum stuck together or greasy clay-like wads embedded throughout the stool. If you cut open and examine one of the "marbles" passed in the stool, you will see layers of compacted grease rings, often bright green in color. The outer coating often appears greenish brown with a hard outer casing. Colors of the gallstones vary, but bright pea green and darkish green are the most common. Other colors found are black, brown, and more rarely, red. Gallstones form after years of eating harmful oils, like the ones found in chips, fried foods, pizza, mayonnaise, margarine, commercial bagels and breads, cookies and pastries, and anything made with canola oil. The liver and gallbladder in the average person has become quite congested. Like a sewer that is partially blocked, the liver can become “backed up” and create a whole array of symptoms such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, impaired digestion, dry skin, poor eyesight, depression, etc. In a daily routine of eating seemingly "healthy" commercial foods – which typically contain bad oils as well as toxic food chemicals - the bile, which should be a light, thin, oily texture, becomes thick and viscous, like dehydrated syrup. This sludgy bile stagnates and slowly forms thick concretions, like greasy balls, which then impede the normal physiology of the gallbladder, liver and upper intestinal tract. This leads to a gradual increase in symptoms including fatigue, headaches, food allergies, belching, flatulence, environmental sensitivities, poor immune tolerance, and more. Although improving the quality of one’s diet, including replacing harmful oils with healthy ones, may help one feel better, it will not significantly help eliminate the toxic sludge in the gallbladder and bilary tract. We have seen people who, after 20 years of "no cheating" - eating an excellent diet (although their previous diet was less than ideal) - pass 40 to 60 clearly defined gallstones on their first flush. Once these gallstones form, changing the diet will not clear them. A liver/gallbladder flush is needed. The purpose of this cleanse is to clear the liver and gallbladder of toxins, “stones,” and “gravel”, and is fundamental to restoring and maintaining good health and supporting all the body’s organ systems. 3 There are many variations of the “liver flush,” olive oil being a common ingredient in most (usually only 4 ounces). Some of these programs may be risky, however, because they do not pre-soften the gallstones. The reason Dr. Cousens at the Tree of Life advocates this particular liver/gallbladder cleanse is because it moves the stones more safely and comfortably out of the bile ducts, using almost all natural products (with the exception of the PhosDrops). Also, it is very effective with minimal detoxification reactions. The key softeners in the cleanse are the PhosDrops, taken the last four days before the flush, and Gallbladder Nano-Detox, taken for six weeks prior to the flush. Gallbladder Nano-Detox has a 5000-year-old herb, gold coin, which is specific for stone softening and cleansing the gallbladder master points. Phos Drops soften the stones and help them to float. The other components of the cleanse include Parastat, Paracidin, Quantum Gallbladder Complex, Infecto Stat, Liver NanoDetox, Allicidin, Carvacol, and Hyssop. The main anti-parasite herb in ParaStat is holorrhena antidysenterics, an 8,500-yearold herb deemed the world’s best anti-parasite herb. Paracidin is good for flukes and has 13 different herbs for liver and gastrointestinal detoxification. Quantum Gallbladder Complex supports comprehensive liver and gallbladder function with citrus surpentium, guggul, and reishi, which promote Phase I & II detoxification. It maximizes bile flow, improves bile integrity, and stimulates the opening and release of bile from the gallbladder. Quantum Immune Complex contains an olive leaf extract with 5 premier synergistic compounds including noni, coriander, kelp, reishi, and coriolus. Liver Nano-Detox provides nanized Indian turmeric and supports liver and gallbladder cleansing and stimulates bile flow. Quantum Liver Complex is a world-class 15 herb formula for superb liver support featuring grade 10 Milk thistle, Brazilian Pau D’Arco, Indian Turmeric, Citrus aurantium, and Grade 10 fermented mycelial extracts with synergists. One drop of Allicidin has the allicin content of 20 cloves of garlic. It is anti-parasitic, anti-infective, and anti-fungal. Carvacol is an oil derived from oregano and is also anti-parasitic, anti-infective, and anti-fungal. Hyssop is anti-infective and helps with the stimulation of bile. It is also powerful for destroying mycoplasms, especially those injected during immunizations. Aside from improved functioning of the liver and gallbladder, there are often additional unexpected benefits. For example, after doing only a single Liver/Gallbladder Flush, a menopausal woman in her fifties cleared over ten food allergies overnight. One day, there were ten different foods she could not eat, including yogurt, tomatoes and nuts, and the very next day, after the flush, she could eat these foods without adverse effects. This dramatic case history leads to an interesting question: Do food allergies actually exist, or is it a congested liver/gallbladder tract that impedes the digestion of certain foods? Many people have seen their so-called “food allergies” of many years clear after the first liver/gallbladder flush. Of course, if one resumes a junk food diet laden with toxic oils, especially one with many fast-food and restaurant meals, the stagnant bile syndrome is sure to return. Again, many people experience miraculous results with the very first flush. Because the flush removes so much stagnation in the liver/gallbladder system, patients are able to clear many symptoms literally overnight, symptoms that years of nutritional supplements or other therapies could not ameliorate. The average person in the U.S. will need to repeat this flush at least 4 times, with a minimum of 6-8 weeks between flushes. Preparing for the Flush To ensure best results, the recommended procedure entails taking a liquid herbal drink upon arising each day for 6 weeks before the flush. If a person has been eating a healthy diet with a lot of fresh, whole foods, only a 4-week sequence may be needed 4 before the flush. If a person has a history of being chronically ill or weak or a history of eating a poor diet with many refined, commercial foods, cooked foods, restaurant meals, or a lot of heavy foods like cheese and cooked meats, then the 8-week sequence is recommended. For best results, during the 6 week prelude, strive to eat a healthy diet that contains at least 80-90% organic raw vegetables and fruits, in addition to home-prepared meals made with fresh, whole organic foods. Slowly increasing the amount of raw foods in the diet provides healthy bulk to the stool, gentle intestinal stimulation and cleansing, and an abundance of raw enzymes. Also during this prelude, stop all animal flesh foods to allow the body to alkalinize more quickly and to lighten the stress on digestive enzymes. Balance blood sugar by eating a low glycemic diet and help remove bile and sludge from the intestinal tract by adding flax, pumpkin and sesame seeds ground to a fine meal to your food. For super nutrition use spirulina, chlorella, E3 Live, enzymes, bee pollen, hemp protein, aloe vera, flax oil, hemp oil, ginger, and cayenne. This 6-week prelude allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to heal and become regular. It is very important that bowel eliminations become regular, so that a person has at least one complete, healthy bowel elimination a day. If the bowel eliminations have not been regular, take between 1-6 tablets of triphala during the 6 week prelude, so that you have an average of 1-2 bowel movements each day. For best results, the bowel eliminations should be regular at the time of the flush. Caution: If you are taking medical drugs, do not do this flush. Wait until you have been off all medical drugs for at least one month, or longer, before starting the flush procedure. Flush Instructions 1. The 6-week Prelude. For 6 weeks, take the following drink and capsules, first thing in the morning upon arising and around 11am. The herbs in the Gallbladder Nano-Detox are well known in Chinese medicine for softening and breaking down gallstones. During the 6 week prelude, eat 80-90% raw, organic foods and take your regular supplements. a) Gallbladder Nano-Detox: ½ teaspoon, 2 x /day b) Liver Nano-Detox: ½ teaspoon, 2 x /day Mix together in ½ cup of purified water. Sip slowly over 5 minutes. c) Liver Complex: 2 caps 2 x /day d) Gallbladder Complex: 1 cap 2 x /day e) ParaStat: 1 cap 2 x /day f) Paracidin: 1 cap 2 x /day g) Angstrom Copper: 1 teaspoon only per day 5 2. The last four days before the flush. a) 3. The last three days before the flush. a) 4. Gallbladder Complex: 2 caps 2 x /day PhosDrops: 1/3 bottle per day for three days (in a generous amount of water!!) The Day Before the Flush Day. On the day before the flush day, continue to eat organic, raw foods, except eliminate all oils and fats. Take your regular supplements during this day. 5. The Flush Day. a) The day of the flush, eat nothing but organic, peeled apples throughout the day, beginning in the morning. Do not consume any other food or drink. Do not take any supplements. You may have as many apples and as much purified water as you wish. b) At 1 PM, stop eating apples. However, purified water may still be consumed. c) Epsom Salts Drink. At 2 PM, take an Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) drink. Mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts in ½ cup of purified water; add 1 to 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice (to neutralize the bitter taste of the salts). The purpose of the Epsom salts is to help loosen the bowels and clear stagnant fecal matter in the intestinal tract, helping to initiate bowel eliminations. (Epsom salts have been used historically to produce gentle bowel movements in constipation.) This drink is used before the flush drink to ensure that the bowels are open so the flush can remove stagnant waste easily. After taking the Epsom salts drink, you may experience a bowel movement in from ½ hour to several hours, although for many people, the salts act more as a bowel tonic rather than immediately producing a bowel elimination. The sulfate in the Epsom salts also acts to detoxify the GI tract before the flush drink. d) The Flush Drink. Now it is time to take 4 spaced doses of top grade olive oil in which key detoxifying herbs have been added. The larger influx of oil into the body after 2 days without oil coupled with a lighter diet stimulates the gallbladder to excrete a larger amount of stored bile and thus propel stagnant residues out of the gallbladder and bilary tract and release them through the intestines. Note: Absolutely do NOT substitute other oils for the flush. Use only Premier Olive Oil. Many olive oils (even organic ones) have been solvent-extracted and often contain pesticide residue or other chemo- toxins. In 6 addition, it is a common industry practice to adulterate up to 40% of an olive oil bottle with other cheaper oils, such as cottonseed oil, and these additional oils will not be listed on the label. The FDA does not currently test oils to determine truth in labeling. Consuming adulterated oils in high amounts can make you feel very sick. In contrast, Premier Olive Oil is 100% top-grade, “beyond organic” olive oil, traditionally produced without harsh chemicals. e) Flush Procedure: Begin taking the olive oil doses every 15 minutes, starting at 3pm. At 3 PM, open 2 Vcaps of Hyssop Complex and mix them in 3-4 tablespoons* of Premier Olive Oil. Then consume the oil-herb mixture straight. *Determining the Olive Oil Dose: For a body size from 85 to 140 lbs, take 3 tablespoons of olive oil per dose; for body size 140 to 200 lbs, take 4 tablespoons per dose. Lemon Juice should be equal in tbsp to tbsp of olive oil. Then shake until an emulsion Immediately after consuming the herb-oil mixture, chew one or two wedges of fresh, organic orange or grapefruit and swallow. The orange or grapefruit provides citric acid and works very well to clear the oily taste in your mouth and refresh the palate. At 3:15 PM, repeat this procedure (take 3-4 tablespoons of oil mixed with 2 Vcaps of Hyssop). At 3:30 PM, repeat the procedure, but also add one Vcap of ParaStat to the olive oil- Hyssop mixture. At 3:45PM, repeat this procedure again (adding one Vcap of ParaStat to the olive oilHyssop mixture). The total amount of olive oil to be consumed in one hour = 12-16 tablespoons. Nausea: If you have prepared for the flush adequately, most people do not experience nausea, or if so, only mildly after taking the doses of oil. If you experience pronounced nausea after taking any of the doses of oil, discontinue taking the oil. You may need to prepare for a longer time before doing a flush. f) Repeat Epsom Salts Drink. At 8 PM, take an Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) drink. Mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts in ½ cup of purified water; add 1 to 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. g) You’re finished! Do not eat or drink anything else, except water, if desired, until the following morning. BE SURE NOT TO EAT ANYTHING AT ALL AFTER THE FLUSH. Even eating a small amount of food after the flush can negate its fabulous cleansing effects. Checking the Stool. Often, several hours after drinking the last flush drink, during the night or the following morning, various greenish concretions will typically pass in the stool. On the first flush, it is common to see many (often hundreds) of small, peasize green balls that float on the top of the water in the toilet. Other concretions may be larger in size, perhaps the size of small or large marbles, or the concretions can form as wads of greenish clay material. It is important to break apart and thoroughly 7 check the stool with gloves or an old coat hanger to look for concretions so you will be aware of your success in passing old concretions. Concretions are often present in the first stool passed after the flush, but sometimes they only show up in the second stool or a day later. Often, some concretions may be found in the stools over the next few days after the flush. When you find hardened concretions in the stool, congratulate yourself! Overnight, you have literally cleared years of stagnant waste that has been blocking your healthy digestive and internal physiology, creating unknown distress and accelerated aging. For the average person, the flush should be repeated every 6 weeks 3 to 4 times, and then at least once per year. What to Eat on the Day Following the Flush. For one week after the flush, it is best to continue eating your 80-90% live food diet and taking your regular nutritional supplements. To maximize your results, you may choose to take the following morning drink in addition to your regular diet. After one week, if you need to, you can go to your pre-liver/gallbladder cleanse diet, but you might consider staying as vegan and raw as possible and of course avoiding all junk foods and unhealthy oils. OPTIONAL: The After-Flush Drink Since the flush liberates a lot of stagnant, often putrid material in the GI tract, a more thorough, complete cleansing effect is possible by beginning the day with the delicious after-flush drink and continuing it each day for 3 days. The After Flush Drink 2 medium fresh organic tomatoes 2 stalks organic celery 2 tablespoons Premier Olive Oil 2 Vcaps Hyssop Complex (Do not add salt or any other seasonings.) Directions: Blend the above ingredients together, then drink immediately. Wait for 15 minutes or more and then you may eat your regular breakfast. Nutritional Supplements After the Flush Begin taking your regular supplements after the flush, but also continue to take the Hyssop Complex, one Vcap, two times daily for 4 weeks or more. The Coffee Enema: Its Unique History & Amazing Detox Properties An enema is “a fluid injected into the rectum for the purpose of clearing out the bowel, or of administering drugs or food.” The word itself comes from the Greek “en-hienai,” meaning to “send or inject into.” The enema has been called “one of the oldest 8 medical procedures still used today.” Tribal women in Africa, and elsewhere, routinely use it on their children. The earliest medical text in existence, the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, from 1500 B.C., mentions it. Millennia before, the Pharaoh had a “guardian of the anus,” a special doctor, one of whose purposes was to administer the royal enema. The Greeks wrote of the fabled cleanliness of the Egyptians, which included the internal cleansing of their systems through emetics and enemas. They employed these on 3 consecutive days a month said Herodotus (II.77) or at intervals of 3 or 4 days, according to a later historian Diodorus. The Egyptians explained to their visitors that they did this because they “believed that diseases were engendered by superfluities of the food,” a modern-sounding theory! Enemas were known in ancient Sumeria, Babylonia, India, Greece, and China. American Indians independently invented it, using a syringe made of an animal bladder and a hollow leg bone. Pre-Columbian South Americans fashioned latex into the first rubber enema bags and tubes. In fact, there is hardly a region of the world where people did not discover or adapt the enema. It is more ubiquitous than the wheel. Enemas are found in world literature from Aristophanes to Shakespeare, Gulliver Travels to Peyton Place. In pre-revolutionary France, a daily enema after dinner was de rigueur. It was not only considered indispensable for health but also practiced for good complexion as well. Louis XIV is said to have taken over 2,000 in his lifetime. Could this have been the source of the Sun King’s sunny disposition? For centuries, enemas were a routine home remedy. In recent times, the routine use of enemas died out. The main times that doctors employ them nowadays are before and after surgery and childbirth. Difficult and potentially dangerous barium enemas before colonic X-rays are of course still a favorite among allopathic doctors. The coffee bean has an interesting history. It was imported in Arabia in the early 1500’s by the Sufi religious mystics, who used it to fight drowsiness while praying. It was especially prized for its medicinal qualities, in both the Near East and Europe. No one knows when the first daring soul filled an enema bag with a quart of java. What is known is that the coffee enema appeared at least as early as 1917 and was found in the prestigious Merck Manual until 1972. In the 1920’s, German scientists found that a caffeine solution could open the bile ducts and stimulate the production of bile in the liver of experimental animals. Dr. Max Gerson used this clinically as part of a general detoxification regimen, first for tuberculosis, then cancer. Caffeine, he postulated, will travel up the hemorrhoidal to the portal vein and then to the liver. Gerson noted some remarkable effects of this procedure. For instance, patients did not need their usually prescribed painkillers once on the enemas. Many people have noted the paradoxical calming effect of coffee enemas. And while coffee enemas can relieve constipation, Gerson cautioned: “Patients have to know that the coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver.” Coffee enemas were an established part of medical practice when Dr. Max Gerson introduced them into cancer therapy in the 1930s. Basing himself on German laboratory work, Gerson believed that caffeine could stimulate the liver and gall bladder to discharge bile. He felt this process could contribute to the health of the cancer patient. 9 Although the coffee enema has been heaped with scorn, there has been some independent scientific work that gives credence to the value of the coffee enema. In 1981, for example, Dr. Lee Wattenberg and his colleagues were soon able to show that substances found in coffee, kahweol and cafestol palimate, promote the activity of a key enzyme system, glutathione Stransferase, above its normal activity. This system detoxifies a vast array of electrophiles from the bloodstream and, according to Gar Hildenbrand of the Gerson Institute, “must be regarded as an important mechanism for carcinogen detoxification.” This enzyme group is responsible for neutralizing free radicals, harmful chemicals now commonly implicated in the initiation of cancer. In mice, for example, these systems are enhanced 600% in the liver and 700% in the bowel when coffee beans are added to the mice’s diet. Dr. Peter Lechner, who is investigating the Gerson method at the Ladneskrankenhaus of Graz, Austria, has reported that “coffee enemas have a definite effect on the colon which can be observed with an endoscope.” F.W. Cope (1977) has postulated the existence of a “tissue damage syndrome.” When cells are challenged by a poison, oxygen deprivation, malnutrition or a physical trauma they lose potassium, take on sodium and chloride, and swell up with excess water. Another scientist (Ling) has suggested that water in a normal cell is contained in a crystalline structure. Being alive requires not just the right chemicals, but also the right chemical structure. Cells normally have a preference for potassium over sodium, but when a cell is damaged it begins to prefer sodium. This craving results in a damaged ability of cells to repair themselves and to utilize energy. Further, damaged cells produce toxins; around tumors there are zones of “wounded” but still non-malignant tissue, swollen with salt and water. Gerson believed it axiomatic that cancer could not exist in normal metabolism. He pointed to the fact that scientists often had to damage an animal’s thyroid and adrenals just to get a transplanted tumor to “take.” He directed his efforts toward creating normal metabolism in the tissue surrounding a tumor. It is the liver and small bowel that neutralize the most common tissue toxins: polyamines, ammonia, toxic-bound nitrogen and electrophiles. These detoxification systems are enhanced by the coffee enema. Physiological chemistry and physics has stated “caffeine enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products across the colonic wall.” In addition, theophylline and theobromine, two other chemicals in coffee, dilate blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut; the palimates enhance the enzyme system responsible for the removal of toxic free radicals from the serum; and the fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum and out of the rectum. Since the enema is generally held for 15 minutes, and all the blood passes through the liver, the palimates enhance the enzyme system responsible for the removal of toxic free radicals from the serum; and the fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum and out of the rectum. Furthermore, since all the blood passes through the liver every three minutes, “these enemas represent a form of dialysis of the 10 blood across the gut wall.” The research by Sherry Rodgers, MD author of Detox or Die, suggests that there is no stimulatory effect of the adrenals from a coffee enema. The personal experience of Gabriel Cousens, MD supports her findings. Coffee Enema Instructions 1. Heat Water. Heat 2 cups/16 oz of water almost to boiling, where steam begins to arise from the water. Remove from heat. The water should be very hot to touch, but not boiling. 2. Grind Coffee Beans. Freshly grind 2 tablespoons of coffee beans to a fine powder. Do not do this ahead of time. You want to get the freshest, most active phytonutrients from the coffee. Pre-ground coffee beans are partially oxidized and should not be used. 3. Add Ingredients to Hot Water. Add the freshly ground coffee bean powder, two capsules of each of Immune Complex, ParaStat, and Paracidin, by opening the Vcaps and pouring contents into the hot water. 4. Let Sit. Cover and let sit for 10 to 20 minutes. The longer soak time helps for a more complete release of the phytonutrients into the water, including the tightly sequestered alkaloids of the coffee. 5. Strain Mixture. Strain the coffee-herbal mixture with a fine metal strainer and remove any large particles that could clog the enema tube. 6. Add Cool Water to Mixture. Add about 2 cups/16 oz of cool or room temperature water to the hot coffee mixture. The idea is to cool the hot coffee mixture to a warm temperature so it is not too when hot when inserting the fluid into the rectum. The final mixture should be warm to the touch, about 100°F. Note: If the temperature is too hot, it can cause damage to the anus or intestines, it if is too cool, it may cramp the intestines and toxic waste elimination may be poor. However, too cool is better than too hot. 7. Add Allicidin Drops. Add 4 drops of Allicidin to the mixture. 8. Take Enema. Take an enema as follows. Try to take about half of the liquid, about 2 cups, into the bowels. Then hold for 10 minutes before expelling. Take the second half of the liquid and hold for another 10 minutes. Then expel. You’re done! If you’re fasting, you only need one 15 minute, 32 oz enema as your bowels are already clean. 11 Often, if some fecal matter is in the lower rectal tract, you may want to take in about 1/8 to 1/4 of the liquid –just enough to expel the fecal matter in the lower tract. In this case, it is not necessary to hold the liquid for any period of time. Then when you have cleared all fecal matter, divide the remaining liquid in approximately half, and hold each portion for 10 minutes to allow adequate soaking time to cleanse hardened fecal material, infectious organisms, and other toxins in the lower intestinal tract. After taking in the liquid, if you feel a strong urge to expel the liquid, even after a minute or two, do not resist. Go ahead and expel it. At first, it may be hard to hold the liquid for the full 10 minutes. Later, after several enemas, and thus a certain amount of toxic elimination, it will be much easier for the bowels to hold the liquid for the full 10 minutes. The best time to do an enema is in the morning, but at least before 8pm. Give yourself time to rest after the enema, from 20 to 30 minutes, without walking or exercising. This helps to ensure that you are at home, near a toilet, if another small amount of enema liquid needs to come out that was not expelled earlier. It is best to do 2 coffee enemas per week for the 6 weeks before the flush. It is not recommended to take them on consecutive days, as this may create an electrolyte imbalance. Amazing Castor Oil: Ancient Remedy, Modern Healer You may be familiar with the use of castor oil for constipation, however, the healing benefits of castor oil reach into far more categories. Over the centuries, castor oil has received a sterling reputation because of its rapid haling benefits on so many different types of disorders. The famous Edgar Cayce, called the “sleeping prophet,” popularized the use of castor oil in the 1940’s and ‘50’s, especially in the form of castor oil packs, which resulted in amazing health recoveries for many people. The most frequently recommended use of castor oil by Cayce was as castor oil packs, which were recommended for many conditions such as cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), poor eliminations, epilepsy, various liver conditions such as cirrhosis and the torpid liver, scleroderma, headaches, appendicitis, arthritis, incoordination between assimilations and eliminations, colitis, intestinal disorders such as stricture and colon impaction, incoordination between nervous systems, neuritis, toxemia, and more. For thousands of years, castor oil has been used for just about everything, from relieving menstrual cramps to easing childbirth and clearing warts. Castor oil has been used to assist healing the body from ancient times throughout the world. It was used therapeutically in ancient India, China, Persia, Egypt, Africa, Greece, Rome, the Americas and in 17 th century Europe. Castor oil was called the Palma Christi or the “Hand of Christ”. It is known to be effective for many diverse types of pain, liver and gallbladder stimulation and cleansing/detox, digestive problems, lacerations, skin disorders such as eczema or psoriasis, 12 menopause symptoms, to boost the immune system, as an emollient and skin softener and much more. Today, many health care practitioners are discovering the benefits of using real, therapeutic quality castor oil. Castor oil is truly one of the earth’s most versatile healing gifts, and so simple to use. Castor oil appears to work by drawing blood circulation and enhanced biological energy to the area where it is applied, and then drawing lodged toxins out of the body. Many practitioners often use castor oil as an important adjunct to a comprehensive treatment plan for an individual. It is important to eradicate the root cause of an illness, not only to clear the symptoms of a disorder. Castor oil has proven very valuable in helping to detoxify the body at deeper levels, thus eliminating the root causes. The effectiveness of castor oil may be due in part to its unusual chemical composition. Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids. Almost 90% of its fatty acid content consists of rinoleic acid. Such a high concentration of this unusual unsaturated fatty acid may be responsible for castor oil’s remarkable healing abilities. Research has shown rinoleic acid to be effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds. Due to the many beneficial aspects of this fatty acid component, castor oil can be applied topically to treat a wide variety of health complaints. Using castor oil topically has shown to be successful in clearing stubborn skin ailments such as ringworm, keratoses, and skin inflammation. Generally, for these conditions, the affected area is simply wrapped in cotton cloth soaked with castor oil for one night or a few nights in a row until the area heals. In Russia, castor oil is added to health products to restore hair growth and luster, to help resolve constipation, and to soothe eye irritations. Much of the popularity of castor oil, especially the use of an external castor oil pack, can be attributed to the late healing psychic, Edgar Cayce, who liberally recommended the use of castor oil for many people who came to him requesting help for many types of health conditions. Cayce was especially fond of recommending castor oil as an abdominal pack, where several layers of cotton are saturated with castor oil and then placed against the skin, after which heat is applied for about ½ to one hour. The results were so astounding that castor oil packs are still very popular today. Cayce recommended the use of castor oil packs in hundreds of readings to improve the body’s eliminations, lymphatic circulation and assimilation of nutrients. By using castor oil packs, the flow of lymph is increased throughout the body. This helps to speed the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and to reduce the size of swollen lymph nodes. The end result is a pronounced, systemic improvement in organ function with a general lessening of fatigue and depression. Dr. William McGary, a medical doctor in Phoenix, Arizona, who extensively studied Cayce’s medical recommendations, showed that his own patients using castor oil packs had significant increases in the production of lymphocytes as compared to those using placebo packs. In his book, The Oil That Heals, Dr. McGary recounts many seemingly miraculous cases where castor oil packs were the key therapy used to help his patients overcome many different types of disorders in a very short time. Beware of the source of castor oil. Unfortunately, much castor oil currently available is derived from castor oil beans that have been cultivated with pesticides or poorly grown, thus having few or no healing properties, and which have been solvent-extracted or deodorized, which damages healing phytonutrients and imparts residual toxic solvent contaminations. 13 The best castor oil comes from the ancient land of its original discovery and use: India. The non-hybrid castor beans are still grown by traditional herbal masters in the dense, central forests of India in fertile, luxurious soil and pure air. The castor oil is cold pressed, without hexane, and is 100% pesticide-free. The castor oil we use from Premier Research Lab is guaranteed to contain the full range of highly active, undamaged healing phytonutrients, including ricinoleic acid, undecylenic acid, and much more. The castor oil pack is very healing to liver and large intestine. It also stimulates the hatching of parasitic eggs that may be depositing into the abdominal cavity. The bugs are then killed by the Parastat and Paracidin in the coffee enema. Castor Oil Pack Instructions 1. Select a target area to be treated. To aid the Liver, Gall Bladder, Parasite, Fluke, Colon Cleanse, target the liver and/or colon. This means putting it under the right ribcage, extending towards the belly button and descending colon on the left side of the belly button. 2. Prepare 3 layers of cotton flannel. Fold or cut the cloth into three sheets, creating a pad of adequate size to cover the area to be treated. For example, to use a castor oil pack over the abdominal area, the size of the flannel cloth might be 10”x8” and three sheets thick. 3. Cut a plastic sheet. The sheet should be somewhat larger than the flannel cloth. The plastic is used to protect the heating pad from getting oily. Using a plastic garbage bag normally works fairly well, but it is best to avoid using plastic grocery bags, since there are usually printed with ink on one side which can dissolve and spread when exposed to castor oil. 4. Apply immune boosting oils. Be sure that the target area of the skin is clean. Then apply 4 drops of Quantum Allicidin Oil to the target area and massage into the skin. Then apply 4 drops of Quantum Carvacrol Oil to the same area and massage into the skin. 5. Saturate the cloth with castor oil. Place the flannel cloth on top of the plastic sheet. Then saturate it with castor oil. The cloth should be wet, but not dripping. The saturated cloth should be then placed directly on the target area with the plastic sheet on top of it. Your plastic sheet should cover the entire exterior of the saturated flannel, since castor oil is likely to stain any fabric it touches. 14 6. Place heating pad over plastic sheet. Set the heating pad on either a low or medium setting, or higher if it is comfortable. The heat will promote absorption, increase circulation, and encourage the body to relax. This is generally left in place for ½ to one hour, and can be left on for up to 1½ hours. You may place a bath towel over the top of the heating pad to help hold in the heat and an elastic bandage to hold it in place. Caution: Heat should not be used in conditions where it is normally contraindicated, such as appendicitis, diabetic neuropathy or over the abdomen during pregnancy. However, the castor oil pack may be used without heat in these conditions. 7. Gallbladder Nano-Detox – Take ½ teaspoon in ¼ cup water immediately after using the castor oil pack. This helps to gently cleanse and detoxify the acid secretions that are released after a castor oil pack. 8. Wash Off Area. After using the castor oil pack, cleanse the skin using a washcloth and organic soap. Washing the area helps clear acidic toxins which have been drawn out of the body during the treatment and helps prevent reabsorbing these toxins. Castor Oil Pack Without Heat. An alternative method is to apply the castor oil pack without heat, using a towel wrapped around the body, with safety pins to hold it in place. This can be left on for several hours, overnight, or for an entire 24-hour period. Re-use of the Same Castor Oil Pack. Each cotton flannel pack may be used up to 10 times if, between usages, it is kept in a plastic container and refrigerated. With use, the pack gradually absorbs toxins. Therefore, after 10 uses, discard the pack and make a new one. It is not recommended to try to wash out the pack for re-use. Frequency of Castor Oil Packs. In general, the castor oil packs are recommended 2 times per week, for ½ to 1 ½ hours per session, for 6 weeks. At first, it may work better to skip a day between use of each pack, rather than using them on consecutive days. Long-Term Chronic Illness. If a person has been chronically ill for a long time, if they have a high degree of toxicity or if they have significant difficulty eliminating toxins, such as with kidney failure, then it is best if the packs are used on alternating days for the first week or son and for shorter periods of time, such as 15 to 30 minutes per session. As the general condition of the body improves, the packs may be used more frequently and/or for longer periods of time. Cleansing Reactions. The use of castor oil packs should always be gentle, without side effects. Cleansing reactions, such as a rash, are rare. If they occur, it usually indicates that the body’s ability to eliminate toxins is not sufficient yet. It may be necessary to temporarily decrease the frequency or length of time of using the packs. The most common cleansing reaction is a rash that may occur at the site of the pack. If this occurs, it is typically noticed during the first few applications of the pack. 15 Castor oil packs are one of those rare remedies that cannot be used too much. Many people continue to use castor oil packs periodically throughout their lives to help boost the immune system, to keep the lymphatic circulation clear, to assist in proper eliminations, and to always feel their best.
