              COFFEE ENEMA INSTRUCTIONS
ENEMA Supplies:
    1. Coffee Enema* (cleanses toxins stored in the liver & gallbladder)
    2. Enema (Most Wal-Mart super stores still carry-in NY-try Eckert pharmacies)

Enema dates: Every evening, for time period indicated on instructions

Instructions for making the coffee:
   1 -2 quarts of boiling water
   Add approximately 4 ounces of granulated coffee into a large pot. (Do NOT use DECAF.)

Reduce the heat and simmer the coffee for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and use for your first enema.

Do not discard the coffee that you catch in the strainer, as you are before pouring into a separate
container, to enable you to easily transfer the liquid into your enema bottle. However, pour slowly
so that you do not pick up too many granules from the bottom of the pot, then pour the coffee
caught in the strainer back into the pot; cover and refrigerate.

Warm as needed for the next enema. Your coffee will remain fresh in the refrigerator for at least 2-3
weeks.

ENEMA PREPARATION


1. Fill an enema bottle with about 18-24 ounces of liquid. The enema liquid should be warm;
however, test on the back of your wrist to ensure that it is not too warm BEFORE inserting!!

2. It is best to lay on your right side (the side where your liver and gallbladder is located on a
towel very near the toilet.

3. Gently & slowly squeeze the enema bottle until it is empty or until you feel that you are no
longer able to hold additional liquid.

4. Stay in place for as long as possible, up to 20 minutes; then run!! You should have a
major release especially after the first or second enemas.

Using Coffee Enemas for Liver Detoxification
                                                           The use of coffee in enemas for liver
                                                           detoxification purposes is well known.
                                                           It makes some people chuckle. I
                                                           prefer to think as a very powerful
                                                           health practice for a healthy liver. The
                                                           coffee enema is extensively used in
                                                           the Gerson cancer therapy and is a
                                                           practice      which      has       been
                                                           recommended by holistic and
                                                           alternative medicine professionals for
                                                           many years. The coffee enema is
                                                           used to detoxify the liver, NOT THE
                                                           COLON. It is a low-volume enema
                                                           that remains only in the sigmoid
colon. There is a duct between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the "entero-hepatic
circulation system". When the stool reaches this point, it contains many toxins, which are sent
to the liver for detoxification.

Coffee Enema For Liver Detoxification

Without getting too technical here, the caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system
causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon. Releasing the
toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification.

The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of an enzyme called "glutathione-S-
transferase", which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways. The coffee
enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the
sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the
enema bag is not placed too high.

     Serenity on Eggs and Cholesterol

Many of you have been advised by your physicians or heard through word-of-mouth that because
of the cholesterol content, eggs should be eaten no more than 2-3 times per week.

The problem with this advice is that it does not consider the fact that many foods in addition to
 eggs, contain cholesterol. If you have been told you need to “watch” your cholesterol intake,
follow these simple guidelines:

Remember that many of your favorite foods contain cholesterol, including all processed foods,
cakes, cookies, pancakes, waffles, donuts, canned meats and most canned meals, likes spaghetti
or beans and franks. All pre-packaged frozen meals contain very high amounts of cholesterol,
including Weight Watcher's entree's and other pre-packaged diet foods.

Serenity does not advise you to eat eggs, we permit it. Thus, our overriding recommendation is that
you eat “dinner foods” for breakfast. These are healthier than nearly all breakfast foods. Dinner
foods are also quicker, because you can store left over dinner in a storage container and place it in
a microwave for breakfast.

If you choose to have eggs, you MAY have 2 WHOLE eggs per day. Please do not eat just the egg
whites; although the white contains no fat or cholesterol, it also contains little if any nutritional
value

Do not use egg beaters. Always eat whole foods

You may fry or scramble eggs in olive oil; do not use PAM, which is artificial and not a whole food.

While we are not espousing a diet of eggs, we want to ensure that you decide to include or exclude
them based on accurate nutritional information. Many doctors have not had nutritional training and
therefore repeat some of the same inaccuracies about diet as heard in the media.




                     Updated Tips: NO FRIED EGGS
OK to USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, although heated
 oils, regardless of the type, are not as healthy but no
                       Canola Oil

     Serenity Weight Loss & Detoxification Program Rev, 2012

                                General Guidelines
                (Basic guide after your MINI FAST)
   ►Basic Lifetime Rule: Eat ONLY items that have nutritional value or “essential foods”.
                                 Please do not treat this as a diet

                                      ITEMS TO AVOID:
ALL dairy products (includes cheese, ice cream, skim milk) [substitute w/ soy based products later]

 ALL foods with added sugar (includes soda, honey, artificial sweeteners, maple syrup, molasses,
etc.) [Should be a permanently avoided category, except honey and Stevia, after you reach goal]

 Fruit or fruit juices (until you reach your weight loss goal, however, then on a limited basis-for
example, juices will be OK, but only if diluted 50/50 with water)

 ALL cereals, including oatmeal, nuts and grains [until you reach your weight loss goal, but never
returning to cereals because all meals are to contain a protein and veggie)

 ALL red meat (includes lamb, pork, beef and veal) [Ok for later, on occasion; we recommend
avoiding pork permanently]

ALL bread (includes crackers, pizza, muffins, whole wheat bread, etc.) [Occasional deviations OK,
with whole grain versions]

ALL pasta, including rice, until you reach your weight loss goal. Later, simply avoid all white food.

ALL condiments, including mustard, ketchup, salad dressing, mayonnaise or vinegar

 NO coffee, including decaf, tea with caffeine or alcohol [Should be permanent, unless yo
compromise with a healthy, organic, vitamin fortified coffee, such as JAVA brand]

Special Note: These junk food items were not on the original purple food guide, however, everyone
should avoid protein bars, cheese doodles, tortilla chips, gum, breathe mints, cough drops,
especially during the aggressive weight loss phase or if you have a medical challenge such as
diabetes, arthritis, allergies, celiac , etc.
P a g e | 11


                         FOODS THAT YOU MAY CONSUME
                  WITHOUT CONCERN ABOUT WEIGHT GAIN
                       (or contributing to health challenges)
                                (Breakfast foods come from this list too)

Water, equal to ½ of your weight in ounces per day, sipped at the rate of 4+
ounces per waking ½ hour. Flavored seltzer water, (with no added sugar) &
herbal teas are great for variety
Fish, eggs, chicken, turkey, seafood & vegetarian protein sources
ALL vegetables (includes baked sweet and white potatoes, with skin) (1)
per day
ALL beans, except baked beans (use as a protein)
Salad (no dressing-extra virgin olive oil with fresh lemon)
1-2 bananas per day, but not as a meal. Eat bananas as you would dessert


NOTE: Taco Bell’s Bean or Chicken Burritos are an excellent fast food - please request “no cheese, red
sauce or rice”; onions extra lettuce and tomatoes are fine. Good restaurant choices include Piccadilly’s and
other “southern style” buffets, East Indian, African or Japanese restaurants. You may use lots of onions,
garlic, fresh herbs, iodized sea salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil for seasoning and cooking. Stir fry
meals are excellent. Avoid hot sauce which contains sugar; you may however use cayenne .



                                         ABOUT CRAVINGS

(either withdrawal symptoms or an indicator that you are mineral deficient, or both):
This style of eating also cleanses the body. You may experience withdrawal symptoms such as
lightheadedness, fatigue, nausea, or weakness during the first 2-5 days. The reaction may be
intensified if you cheat with the food guide. Certain foods cause withdrawal, such as sugar, alcohol
and coffee. Therefore, remember, that you are not sick; simply eating a more healthy diet and your
body is adjusting to not having its usual junk

                 ALL MEALS ARE TO CONTAIN A PROTEIN,
                 Veggie and/or a salad (including breakfast).
                    Choose from category A most often.
    Eat a mini meal every 3- 3½ hours, but if you ate a low quality protein meal you
     can eat sooner; there is no law that states you cannot eat sooner than 3 hours.



      Avoid piling your salad plate high; the reason for the salad plate is to control
       portion sizes, so do not be tempted to fill the plate in the other direction!
P a g e | 15




   Eat the entire egg. Do not just eat the egg whites; they are low in nutritional
    value, and do not contain sufficient protein without the fat from the yolk. The
    practice of eating egg whites started when the general public became
    concerned about high cholesterol. However, food commonly paired with eggs
    such as bagels, bacon, muffins, pancakes and hash browns all contain high
    amounts of cholesterol. Overall, The Serenity Program© Food Guide is
    naturally low in cholesterol.

Serenity's guide for a holistic approach to weight loss and detoxification phase i portfolio=november 2012

  • 1. Page |1 Serenity Weight Loss and Detoxification Program© Your Phase I Portfolio A holistic approach for weight loss and detoxification
  • 2. Page |2 Serenity’s PHASE I MINI FAST -14 days =====================================================  Eat fish (wild caught salmon and other deep water fish, Pollock, tuna, sword, etc is best)  Chicken (cooked any way except fried-skin is OK)  Salad  All Vegetables Phase II Eating: After the 14 days, use standard Serenity eating as described on page 10 Additional Pre-Cleanse Tips:  Great time to try to coffee enemas (2-4 on consecutive evenings (See page 3 of this portfolio)  Do a Kidney detox-click on the link below or cut and paste into your browser. Choose the type of detox most comfortable for you Kidney Detox http://www.slideshare.net/serenityretreats/serenity-kidney-detox-juice- supplemental Guide cleanse-instructions
  • 3. Page |3 Serenity Weight Loss & Detoxification Program© COFFEE ENEMA INSTRUCTIONS ENEMA Supplies: 1. Coffee Enema* (cleanses toxins stored in the liver & gallbladder) 2. Enema (Most Wal-Mart super stores still carry-in NY-try Eckert pharmacies) Enema dates: Every evening, for time period indicated on instructions Instructions for making the coffee:  1 -2 quarts of boiling water  Add approximately 4 ounces of granulated coffee into a large pot. (Do NOT use DECAF.) Reduce the heat and simmer the coffee for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and use for your first enema. Do not discard the coffee that you catch in the strainer, as you are before pouring into a separate container, to enable you to easily transfer the liquid into your enema bottle. However, pour slowly so that you do not pick up too many granules from the bottom of the pot, then pour the coffee caught in the strainer back into the pot; cover and refrigerate. Warm as needed for the next enema. Your coffee will remain fresh in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 weeks. ENEMA PREPARATION 1. Fill an enema bottle with about 18-24 ounces of liquid. The enema liquid should be warm; however, test on the back of your wrist to ensure that it is not too warm BEFORE inserting!! 2. It is best to lay on your right side (the side where your liver and gallbladder is located on a towel very near the toilet. 3. Gently & slowly squeeze the enema bottle until it is empty or until you feel that you are no longer able to hold additional liquid. 4. Stay in place for as long as possible, up to 20 minutes; then run!! You should have a major release especially after the first or second enemas.
  • 4. Page |4 Using Coffee Enemas for Liver Detoxification The use of coffee in enemas for liver detoxification purposes is well known. It makes some people chuckle. I prefer to think as a very powerful health practice for a healthy liver. The coffee enema is extensively used in the Gerson cancer therapy and is a practice which has been recommended by holistic and alternative medicine professionals for many years. The coffee enema is used to detoxify the liver, NOT THE COLON. It is a low-volume enema that remains only in the sigmoid colon. There is a duct between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the "entero-hepatic circulation system". When the stool reaches this point, it contains many toxins, which are sent to the liver for detoxification. Coffee Enema For Liver Detoxification Without getting too technical here, the caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon. Releasing the toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification. The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of an enzyme called "glutathione-S- transferase", which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways. The coffee enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not placed too high.

  • 9. Page |9 Serenity on Eggs and Cholesterol Many of you have been advised by your physicians or heard through word-of-mouth that because of the cholesterol content, eggs should be eaten no more than 2-3 times per week. The problem with this advice is that it does not consider the fact that many foods in addition to eggs, contain cholesterol. If you have been told you need to “watch” your cholesterol intake, follow these simple guidelines: Remember that many of your favorite foods contain cholesterol, including all processed foods, cakes, cookies, pancakes, waffles, donuts, canned meats and most canned meals, likes spaghetti or beans and franks. All pre-packaged frozen meals contain very high amounts of cholesterol, including Weight Watcher's entree's and other pre-packaged diet foods. Serenity does not advise you to eat eggs, we permit it. Thus, our overriding recommendation is that you eat “dinner foods” for breakfast. These are healthier than nearly all breakfast foods. Dinner foods are also quicker, because you can store left over dinner in a storage container and place it in a microwave for breakfast. If you choose to have eggs, you MAY have 2 WHOLE eggs per day. Please do not eat just the egg whites; although the white contains no fat or cholesterol, it also contains little if any nutritional value Do not use egg beaters. Always eat whole foods You may fry or scramble eggs in olive oil; do not use PAM, which is artificial and not a whole food. While we are not espousing a diet of eggs, we want to ensure that you decide to include or exclude them based on accurate nutritional information. Many doctors have not had nutritional training and therefore repeat some of the same inaccuracies about diet as heard in the media. Updated Tips: NO FRIED EGGS OK to USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, although heated oils, regardless of the type, are not as healthy but no Canola Oil
  • 10. P a g e | 10 Serenity Weight Loss & Detoxification Program Rev, 2012 General Guidelines (Basic guide after your MINI FAST) ►Basic Lifetime Rule: Eat ONLY items that have nutritional value or “essential foods”. Please do not treat this as a diet ITEMS TO AVOID: ALL dairy products (includes cheese, ice cream, skim milk) [substitute w/ soy based products later] ALL foods with added sugar (includes soda, honey, artificial sweeteners, maple syrup, molasses, etc.) [Should be a permanently avoided category, except honey and Stevia, after you reach goal] Fruit or fruit juices (until you reach your weight loss goal, however, then on a limited basis-for example, juices will be OK, but only if diluted 50/50 with water) ALL cereals, including oatmeal, nuts and grains [until you reach your weight loss goal, but never returning to cereals because all meals are to contain a protein and veggie) ALL red meat (includes lamb, pork, beef and veal) [Ok for later, on occasion; we recommend avoiding pork permanently] ALL bread (includes crackers, pizza, muffins, whole wheat bread, etc.) [Occasional deviations OK, with whole grain versions] ALL pasta, including rice, until you reach your weight loss goal. Later, simply avoid all white food. ALL condiments, including mustard, ketchup, salad dressing, mayonnaise or vinegar NO coffee, including decaf, tea with caffeine or alcohol [Should be permanent, unless yo compromise with a healthy, organic, vitamin fortified coffee, such as JAVA brand] Special Note: These junk food items were not on the original purple food guide, however, everyone should avoid protein bars, cheese doodles, tortilla chips, gum, breathe mints, cough drops, especially during the aggressive weight loss phase or if you have a medical challenge such as diabetes, arthritis, allergies, celiac , etc.
  • 11. P a g e | 11 FOODS THAT YOU MAY CONSUME WITHOUT CONCERN ABOUT WEIGHT GAIN (or contributing to health challenges) (Breakfast foods come from this list too) Water, equal to ½ of your weight in ounces per day, sipped at the rate of 4+ ounces per waking ½ hour. Flavored seltzer water, (with no added sugar) & herbal teas are great for variety Fish, eggs, chicken, turkey, seafood & vegetarian protein sources ALL vegetables (includes baked sweet and white potatoes, with skin) (1) per day ALL beans, except baked beans (use as a protein) Salad (no dressing-extra virgin olive oil with fresh lemon) 1-2 bananas per day, but not as a meal. Eat bananas as you would dessert NOTE: Taco Bell’s Bean or Chicken Burritos are an excellent fast food - please request “no cheese, red sauce or rice”; onions extra lettuce and tomatoes are fine. Good restaurant choices include Piccadilly’s and other “southern style” buffets, East Indian, African or Japanese restaurants. You may use lots of onions, garlic, fresh herbs, iodized sea salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil for seasoning and cooking. Stir fry meals are excellent. Avoid hot sauce which contains sugar; you may however use cayenne . ABOUT CRAVINGS (either withdrawal symptoms or an indicator that you are mineral deficient, or both): This style of eating also cleanses the body. You may experience withdrawal symptoms such as lightheadedness, fatigue, nausea, or weakness during the first 2-5 days. The reaction may be intensified if you cheat with the food guide. Certain foods cause withdrawal, such as sugar, alcohol and coffee. Therefore, remember, that you are not sick; simply eating a more healthy diet and your body is adjusting to not having its usual junk
  • 12. P a g e | 12 WHEN SHOULD I EAT? To maintain stable blood sugar and healthy fat burning, everyone should eat every 3-3½ hours 9:00 a.m. or Noon 3 p.m. 6:00 9:00 Midnight, if staying within 1 hour p.m. up late upon arising, then every 3-3½ hours, thereafter Eat breakfast @ home. Leftover food from dinner the night before. Take lunch Left over Fresh Left over Ditto Breakfast foods must contain to work, if lunch meal, but food from a protein and a veggie. If at you are should be ensure dinner first, a veggie for breakfast is a turn-off , use tomatoes going to be your 3 that it is slices, red, green or yellow busy p.m. snack not the peppers, onions, chopped heaviest spinach meal of the day Copy and paste the link to view Serenity’s 7 “Fat Habits” http://myemail.constantcontact.com/7-FAT-HABITS-------or-to-be-politically-correct---UNHEALTHY- HABITS-.html?soid=1110442875411&aid=6nIcF2dvcik
  • 13. P a g e | 13 Serenity’s Protein Density Chart© Category A Protein B Protein C HIGH DENSITY MEDIUM DENSITY LOW DENSITY (will last 3-4 hours. This means you (Do not eat for two This category does not contain will have sufficient glucose” reserves enough protein to be used as a consecutive meals, for stand alone item; best to for 3 ½ -4 hours) example lunch and 3 p.m.) combine with another protein and veggie *Fresh fish: salmon, Beans - Kidney; Sardines haddock, red snapper, fresh refried tuna, swordfish, red snapper Chicken Black bean; white Split pea soup bean or 13 bean soup Salmon (canned) TOFU Lentil soup Turkey Seafood - Lobster, Black -eyed peas shrimp, REAL crab meat Eggs Frozen soy products Green or sweet peas Duck/Cornish hens Canned meats Green veggies Whiting, Tilapia- Flounder - frozen or fresh fresh
  • 14. P a g e | 14 *Avoid catfish Gluten Canned Tuna ALL MEALS ARE TO CONTAIN A PROTEIN, Veggie and/or a salad (including breakfast). Choose from category A most often.  Eat a mini meal every 3- 3½ hours, but if you ate a low quality protein meal you can eat sooner; there is no law that states you cannot eat sooner than 3 hours.  Avoid piling your salad plate high; the reason for the salad plate is to control portion sizes, so do not be tempted to fill the plate in the other direction!
  • 15. P a g e | 15  Eat the entire egg. Do not just eat the egg whites; they are low in nutritional value, and do not contain sufficient protein without the fat from the yolk. The practice of eating egg whites started when the general public became concerned about high cholesterol. However, food commonly paired with eggs such as bagels, bacon, muffins, pancakes and hash browns all contain high amounts of cholesterol. Overall, The Serenity Program© Food Guide is naturally low in cholesterol.
