Hi all,
I tried once before, about a week ago, and while there were many views, I received no replies. So, here is my second attempt.
My question is simple. When doing coffee enemas, what side to lie on? I saw a few posts here that say to lie on left side. However, the Gerson therapy (where the Coffee-Enema was popularised) says to lie on your right side. So, which one is right?
I haven't tried on my right side yet, but when I lay on my left side, the gurgling that I hear (without a stethoscope) comes mainly from my left side. Also, for the rest of the day, I'm running to the toilet ten minutes after I drink anything (to urinate). So, it's almost as if lying on left side puts pressure on the kidneys and/or bladder, or something. I don't know.
Could someone please help clear up this lying on right/left side thing for me. Thanks so much.

I will try to help you with what I know, but realize that I do not have all the facts that some would have. I've been doing these coffee enemas for a bit now, and I DO use the stethoscope. When you are using the 'scope' its intended place to be listening to, is over the liver area and not the abdomin. (I agree though, that we need to know all of our bodies normal sounds). We need to be listening to the noises of the liver, as the CE will show us how the liver is cleansing or releasing bile. If it is loose or tight.
Uny has us taking the coffee enemas while lying on the left side. Even though they do increase peristalsis of the colon, the actual intent is the effect it will have on the liver. As I understand her past posting, it sorta turns the liver into a 'blood dialysis' machine. Also, it is good to note, that we are also encouraged to instill ONLY 2 cups of coffee solution at one given time, and try to hold or retain it for 10 to 15 minutes before expelling. After expelling the 2 cup brew, the process it repeated the second time. thus, known 'here' as, the back to back CE.
Taking any larger amount of coffee sol. would increase its chances of going 'higher' into the colon, possibly causing a 'coffee' buzz. If taken higher into the colon, it would cause a stimulatory effect, increasing blood pressure is likely, and then increasing urine output too.
I do not understand Gersons thought/theory on this, but I do realize that his people were instilling it while on their right side. And I know that many of them were terribly/seriously ill. Maybe others here on this forum would have more thoughts on this....
anyhow, I hope that this will help you in some small way....momo

This is a reply to # 1,436,477As an NMD, we have prescribed coffee enema's for many years.
Always lie on the left side. The caffeine is transported to the liver via the portal veins causing the liver to contract pushing toxins and poisons through the common bile duct, into the duodenum and on out the remainder of the GI tract.

This is a reply to # 1,436,459Sorry, Uny and I are just both really swamped. We ask for everyone's prayers and patience while we figure out how to handle the incredible volume of activity we have on this forum. Wowzers! Y'ALL are making this party happen!!! Muah!!
OK, coffee enemas. Left side. Why? Because we have this portal vein running up the left side in our descending colon and rectum that connects directly to our livers. We can do a low enema with coffee, and the coffee gets absorbed into our bloodstream right there through that big portal vein. Within 3 minutes, we have coffee in our livers, and yes, our livers get to work, stimulating and releasing bile and toxins. So simply by lying (not laying- we aren't hens), on our left sides for 15 minutes, we get coffee circulated through our livers 5 times. If you do back to back (b2b) CEs, meaning two cups coffee, retain for 15 minutes, expel, and then another 2 cups, retain, expel, you have gotten coffee circulated through your liver 10 times.
Why don't Uny and I recommend going to the right side as Gerson did? We've found it isn't really necessary. I'm finding by working with Uny that a lot of people think enemas all serve the same purpose, and they don't. The purpose of a high enema is to flush out the ascending colon (which is a trick, btw). You can have enemas to introduce certain herbs directly into the bloodstream so you can bypass the digestive process and get the herbs into your body more quickly. You can do nutrition enemas if somebody can't take anything by mouth for whatever reason. And the purpose of a Coffee-Enema is to stimulate the liver into releasing bile and other toxins. We don't NEED to go "high" with a CE, so, in our own personal experiences with doing CEs every single day (Uny for years, me for just months), we just lie on our left sides, administer the CE, and use that time to read about The Shire or meditate and pray for our beloved Forum Folk, or, often in my case, release who knows WHAT kind of weird Emotion Du Jour.
COFFEE ON!

This is a reply to # 1,436,537Thank you, thank you, thank you, momo and wings! :)
Just the information I was looking for. I promise you I did search, but I must be really bad at it. I added better tags to my first post, so it can hopefully pop up easier in future searches.
Your explanations were complete and logical and easy for me to understand. It makes sense to me now.
I agree about the Coffee-Enema time being one of relaxation. I don't do it daily, just twice a week, but look forward to it all the time. Yes, I too have caught up on some reading while at it, LOL.
Thank you very much again for all of your help!
