Chapter 6 · Part II — What Coffee Enemas Are For
The Liver-Cleansing Theory
The historical theory centres on absorbed coffee compounds, portal circulation, bile, and the liver, but the complete proposed pathway has not been directly measured in a modern human coffee-enema trial.
Chapter summary
The concise reading
The chapter separates anatomy and recognized coffee chemistry from historical application and unmeasured steps. It explains that the solution stays in the bowel while absorbed compounds may enter circulation, and it keeps glutathione distinct from glutathione S-transferase.
“The liver is at the centre of the coffee-enema story.”
