This is my first time doing an enema. Which bucket do you recommend I buy?
If you plan to do water enemas only, we recommend our 2.2 quart Best Seller kit, model 1001. Click here: Purelife Enema Kit / 2 Qt / 304 Stainless Steel / Made in USA. This is a simple to use kit that is the highest quality stainless steel available on the market today. It is safe, & non-toxic . It comes with everything you need to do a basic enema.
If you are planning to do a coffee enema, we recommend our 2 Qt size kit. Click here: Coffee Enema Kit / Medium Roast / 1/2 Lb Coffee. Because the stainless steel is USA high grade, it will last a lifetime of use. Silicone tubing should be changed every two years.
Now, if you want the very best of the best, we highly recommend our Coffee Enema Starter Kit. It is 304 grade stainless steel and is Made in the USA. It comes with 1 full pound of PureLife Enema Coffee, medical grade silicone tubing, a double fine mesh stainless steel strainer, and a little coffee enema booklet. This Made in the USA stainless steel bucket is also sold without accessories.
What's the difference between the PVC tubing and the Silicone tubing?
We do not sell PVC vinyl tubing and you should stay away from this type of tubing because it will degrade and the materials can be impure. We only sell the highest quality type of tubing which is used in hospitals. This is 100% Silicone Medical Grade Tubing. It will never degrade.
Our Premium Silicone Tubing is translucent, non-toxic, BPA and Latex free. Medical grade means that this tubing can withstand higher temperatures, and will not break down when exposed to coffee elements. Another benefit is that it can be boiled for 3 seconds for re-sterilization. This is a good choice for those with chemical sensitivities . A check valve can be added as an accessory. Our silicone tubing is the best you can buy.
What's the difference between Purelife Organic Enema Coffee and store-bought organic coffee?
The difference is in the "cleanliness" of the coffee , which is very very important when it comes to putting coffee into your system and liver. Purelife also uses a high grade expensive bean, which will be mold and fungus free, rather than cheap, lower grade "dirty" beans which have not been inspected. PureLife Enema Coffee is also cleaner and chemical free because we are double certified 100% Organic. And lastly, we do not fire and drum roast our beans like the coffee you will find in stores or other enema coffee sellers. We use a completely different roasting method which is called "Air roasting". Drum roasting uses fire, which can burn the beans, leaving a toxic residue, and make them carcinogenic. That is why you will see Proposition 65 warning signs at the coffee houses now. And this is why your enema coffee should be Air Roasted if possible.
PureLife Enema Coffee is 100% non-carcinogenic! That is why we believe our our enema coffee is the cleaner and safest choice.
Our coffee label has both a USDA Organic sticker and Oregon Tilth Certification sticker. This is very important. If you dont see these stickers on the coffee bags, then you may not be getting organic. Our coffee is 2x certified and verified.
What is the shelf-life of Purelife Enema Coffee?
Our coffee was tested at 8 months and found to contain 100% of its original cafestol and palmitic acid content, which is needed for a good liver detox.
How Often Can I Do A Coffee Enema?
It can range from once a month to 6 times per day, depending on your health and what program you are on. People who are healthy but simply want to detox now and then may want to do an enema every 3 weeks. Whereas someone who is not feeling well may want to do a coffee enema once a week or once a day. People who are very sick with cancer have often been directed by Gerson Institute to do multiple coffee enemas in a day.
What's the difference between Purelife Medium ,Light, and Ultra Light Roast Coffee?
We have 3 potency levels of coffee, because not everyone is the same. The Light roast gives a more powerful detox than the medium roast. So the lighter the roast the stronger the caffeine. If you are a novice or a beginning Gerson Therapy patient, then we recommend Medium roast coffee. Next is the Light Roast, and Gerson Institute also recommends this for their patients. The Ultra Light Gold Roast is the highest caffeine for detoxing power than the medium or light. It is a stronger detox and so is not recommended for the elderly or frail, or caffeine sensitive.

All of our nozzles are easy to insert, but every body is different , so we offer different types. Silicone and vinyl will be the softest and flexible.
Most people prefer using a lubricant on their nozzle to make insertion easier . Click here: Surgi-Lube Lubricant -Water Based
The PureLife Rectal Colon Tubes are also an option to use, as it is very thin. Much thinner than an enema nozzle. They are also used to go higher up in the colon for higher cleansing of the colon walls.
Can the enema tip cause damage?
Yes, it can if it is not inserted slowly and carefully. The tissues around the rectum are delicate and so one must insert carefully. If you cannot insert the enema tip easily, you can try using the 16" colon tube instead. You can also get easier insertion if you open your legs wider and try re-positioning yourself.
Do fasting and enemas go together?
Yes! Fasting gives the colon a rest. Fasting gives your whole body a rest and a chance to repair itself. Fasting with enemas increases the rest your colon and body will have. Enemas will help promote more toxins to be released while you are fasting.

Never get psychologically dependent on enemas. Always use good dietary habits to help relieve constipation and have natural bowel movements.
