Quoting from the doctoryourself link:
“Max Gerson cured cancer. He did so with a strict fat-free, salt-free, low-protein, essentially vegetarian dietary regimen, based on great quantities of fresh vegetable juice, supplements, and systemic detoxification.”

So was it the coffee up the bum that cured the cancer, or was it living a more healthly life that made the greatest difference?

Perhaps the best answer for detoxing is to not to put the toxs in. Not a fashionable view I’ll grant you…

Apart from the highly questionable ethics and lack of scientific validity in promoting the entire concept of ‘purging toxins’ from the body, Dr Garson’s claims are fallacious.

By his own admission, Dr Gerson claims that:-

“Drinking coffee causes the following problems: increases reflex response, lowers blood pressure, increases heart rate, causes insomnia and heart palpitations, over stimulates the adrenals, irritates the stomach, and leaves a ‘toxic residue’ [whatever that is] in the body.”

Nowhere does Dr. Gerson bother to explain how, physiologically and pharmacologically, absorbing caffeine, or anything else in coffee directly (by enema) into the hemorrhoidal veins, to the inferior mesenteric vein and then to the portal vein is any different than absorbing such substances from the small intestine, to the superior mesenteric vein and then to the portal vein…i.e. by just drinking the stuff.

Absorption may be by via different veins in the beginning, but it all ends up in the portal vein heading for the liver (as does all the gut vasculature)

In any case there really is no physiological reason to suspect that it would make any difference whether anything in coffee is administered orally or by enema.

Please tell me: once these ‘miracle’ substances have been absorbed, how do they remember where they came in, and how do they talk the various organs into doing something different?

I suspect that the fascination with enemas stems from a deep subconscious Freudian fixation arising from some long forgotten childhood ‘enforced cleansing’ experience… with possible psychosexual dimensions.

Anyway it’s a free country and I have no problem so long as ‘detox’ (mal)practitioners do not start expecting their ‘services’ to be covered by Medicare.

This will confirm that you are not winding us up!

Good luck.
