In a nutshell, a coffee enema is related to the procedure wherein the coffee is inserted into the anus. Moreover, the enema procedure has also been used for many years to treat illnesses like encopresis, constipation and other medical condition. Recently, it is being promoted as the coffee enemas to treat cancer. As a matter of fact, it is now a popular alternative treatment for several serious illnesses.

According to several accounts, scientists discovered coffee enemas to treat cancer in 1981. This was actually the beginning of the coffee enemas as an alternative cure to different kinds of sicknesses, most especially cancer. During this time, there have been several independent scientific laboratory researches that focused on either proving or disproving this idea. Then, Dr. Lee Wattenberg and his other companies conducted research to prove that there are substances found in coffee, which are capable of promoting the activities of the key enzyme system. This also catalyzes the activities of the gluthathione S-transferase beyond their normal rate. Some of these substances that they are referring to are the cafestol palmitate and the kahweol.

The systems that I have mentioned above are the ones responsible for detoxifying the bloodstream in our body. When this was popularized and turned into the talk of the town, Gar Hildenbrand of the famous Gerson Institute regarded this is a very important mechanism in the field of carcinogen detoxification.

Aside from Hildenbrand and Watterberg, a physician from Manahattan named Nicholas Gonzales who was practicing unconventional and alternative cancer treatment procedures, also commented on this issue. He actually gained the attention of the National Cancer Institute in the country. Because of the popularity that these coffee enemas for cancer gained from the public, Gonzales and NCI closed an agreement to conduct a study regarding this alternative treatment. This paved the way for the scientific inquiry on how to do coffee enemas for cancer treatment as well as sparked the hype of public’s interest for organic coffee for enemas. It seems that the benefits of coffee enemas can't be denied

The sponsorship is amounting to $1.4 million. This was in partnership and cooperation with none other than the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the Unites States. This NCCAM is actually one of the divisions of the National Institutes of Health in the country. But the lesson behind this is actually not that grant per se but the indication that this hype is not just a a group of alternative medicine fanatics, but the communities of serious medical professionals are also looking at coffee enemas to treat cancer. In the future, you will see more and more institutes using coffee enemas to treat cancer patients.
