MORE EXPLICIT INFORMATION ON THE CASTOR OIL TREATMENT.

Besides self administering the coffee enema, another important fea­ture of detoxification is the castor oil procedure. To accomplish an ex­ceedingly intensive cleansing technique, Doctor Gerson prescribed a castor oil treatment for the cancer patient to be conducted every other day. This castor oil procedure does not apply to cancer patients who were pre­viously treated with cytotoxic or other chemotherapy drugs. They should not take castor oil.

Here is how a candidate should proceed with the castor oil treatment:

1. At about 5:00 A.M. drink 2 tbsp of castor oil, followed by a cup of black coffee with 1 tsp of organic brown sugar Sucanat.
2. At 6:00 A.M. take the usual coffee enema.
3. At 10:00 A.M. replace the coffee enema with a castor oil enema.

Make the castor oil enema in the following manner:

a. Into the bucket or bag for instilling castor oil, a bucket is much preferable to the bag since it is easier to clean, place 4 tbsp of cas­tor oil.

b. Add ¼ tsp of ox bile powder.

c. Take a cake of regular soap not detergent into your hand and rub it for a few moments into a regular coffee enema at body temper­ature.

d. Take this soapy coffee and mix it into the castor oil with ox bile powder, stirring constantly. Some people find it best to use an electric mixer.

 

When mixed, the castor oil still tends to rise to the top; therefore, you need to stir constantly while you allow it to flow into your rectum quite a trick; if you can’t manage it, have somebody do the stirring for you as you take the mixture. This enema along with the castor oil by mouth is virtu­ally impossible to hold. Do not work too hard at holding the mixture. Rather, release when necessary.

Some patients report that when they release the castor oil enema, it burns the anus. Burning can occur, but the circumstance to remember is that castor oil does not burn. Instead it’s the release of highly toxic mater­ial coming out of the body’s tissues that burns! This is one more indica­tion of how important it is to take these castor oil enemas. Indeed, after two or three castor oil treatments, the burning is reduced and disappears. Such a disappearance indicates that the toxic level in the system is lower and no longer irritates the rectum and anus. If irritation exists, use a little petroleum jelly to soothe the area. You may also use a little zinc oxide ointment not suppositories, which contain painkillers.

A number of patients, if they previously suffered from hemorrhoids, have a flare up of this situation. It can be uncomfortable for a few days; but the patient should definitely not stop the enemas. Zinc oxide oint­ment may be applied locally. But please keep in mind that hemorrhoids are usually caused by toxic pressure; therefore, detoxifying is extra important, and stopping the enemas is entirely wrong. It has also been ob­served in those patients that the hemorrhoids shortly disappear and do not recur. It just takes a little waiting time and patience.

PHYSICAL FLAREUPS FROM THE ENEMA TREATMENTS.

The frequency of taking coffee enemas as well as castor oil treatments is reduced after a period of time. Some patients are so toxic that reduc­tion of enema frequencies does not apply to them. If they reduce the detoxification too soon and then feel ill, toxic, or headachy, they should go back to the more intensive level for a period of time. Later, they can try to re­duce the frequency again. Each patient needs to adjust the frequency of detoxifying to his own needs. At times, when the patient does well upon receiving less frequent enemas, flare ups still could occur. These may in­clude new toxic releases, increased swellings or pain, headaches, or lack of appetite. At such times, an extra coffee enema or a castor oil treatment has been known to work wonders.

Occasionally, flare ups are accompanied by diarrhea. At such times, the patient should only take perhaps two chamomile tea enemas daily to gen­tly cleanse the colon. When the diarrhea lets up, the patient could instill one chamomile tea enema, followed four to six hours later with one coffee enema, and another one of chamomile tea at night. When the colon is calmed, the regular schedule may be resumed, but some of the coffee en­emas can still be mixed with chamomile tea.

Some flare ups are extremely intensive and cause a great deal of bile to be released by the liver. This bile could flow over into the stomach. Bile is highly alkaline, but the stomach cannot hold anything that is not main­tained in an acid medium. The alkaline bile will therefore bring on imme­diate severe nausea, almost always accompanied by vomiting. At such times, the patient should omit the coffee enemas, since they simply stim­ulate more bile flow and more vomiting! Drink a lot of peppermint tea and eat oatmeal gruel. Use only chamomile tea enemas. When the flare­up is overcome and nausea or vomiting has stopped completely, then re­sume the coffee enemas.

Some patients have problems with a great deal of gas. When there is much pressure from gas, it is difficult to infuse the coffee. At such times, it will probably be necessary to lower the bucket to the patient’s body height while prone or even below the patient’s body if he is in bed or on a bench to allow the fluid to flow back into the bucket while also allow­ing the gas to bubble out of the rectum. However, if the gas is too high up in the intestinal tract, this approach will not work.

In A Cancer Therapy chapter 27, p. 201, Doctor Gerson discusses some of the problems of flare ups, including difficulties with the coffee enemas. We already mentioned see above that during these unpleasant flaring reactions, patients occasionally have a problem with infusing the enema although previously this procedure went smoothly. The other problem which occurs is that the patient takes an enema, holds it for the optimum twelve minutes, and then goes to release it. But the infused fluid won’t re­lease! Such an uncooperative bowel comes from intestinal spasming or cramping, which may not necessarily be accompanied by pain or discom­fort. There are several actions the patient can take for a spasming colon:

 

1. Lie down on the bed, on the right side, legs pulled up, possibly with a warm water bottle on the abdomen.
2. Don’t panic.
3. If after a little while, the coffee still cannot be released, take an­other coffee enema, adding 3 tsp of a 3 percent solution of hydro­gen peroxide to the solution.
4. If the spasm still won’t release, take castor oil by mouth.
5. For the next few days, put 3 or 4 tsp of the regular potassium com­pound into each coffee enema. Do not continue the potassium in the enema for more than a week; otherwise, the colon becomes irri­tated.

 

During the course of this bowel spasming, at no time is there any dan­ger to the patient even if she or he is not able to release the coffee. The entire enema solution is easily absorbed through the colon and excreted through the kidneys and urine if it is not normally released.

There are still other ways to use the Gerson technique of enema ther­apy. These are not really cleansing enemas, but rather rectal implants. In a few cases, patients during a healing reaction vomit almost everything they take in. They become dehydrated and hypoglycemic. At such times, it is easy to warm the regular carrot or green juices including the medica­tions to body temperature and put the 8 ounces of juice into the bucket or bag and let it run into the rectum. Use only carrot/apple and green juices, not orange juice. Do not add water to the juice. This implant should not be expelled. Consisting of only 8 ounces, it can easily be held until it is fully absorbed. And instilling with a juice enema may be re­peated every hour as the juices are ready. As soon as the patient is able, he or she should start to drink the juices again normally.

Somewhat in the same area, Doctor Gerson also suggested in cases of se­vere ulcerations of the uterus or cervix to use a douche made up of green juice. This is gently cleansing as well as detoxifying, and the procedure stimulates healing.

Doctor Gerson suggested that enough coffee for a full day’s needs can be prepared at one time. In that case, you can prepare a concentrated coffee solution.
