Main Function of the liver

  • To receive nutrients from digestion, package and ship them out
  • To regulate glucose
  • To store nutrients (iron, Vit.B12, Vit. A) as necessary
  • To breakdown and eliminate hormones
  • To eliminate cholesterol through its conversion to bile salts
  • To detoxify blood: liver filters entire blood supply every 3 minutes

The Coffee Enema

Purpose:

  • Vital part of detoxification process of the Gerson Therapy. They stimulate the liver to increase the production of bile.
  • Not to clear out the intestines, but liquid in the colon stimulates peristalsis
  • Juices/Coffee enemas ratio: 3:1

Benefits of Detoxification

  • Increased cell energy production
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Tissue repair
  • Cellular regeneration
  • Pain relief- reducing edema and toxic pressure on nerve endings and tumors
