​Considering all the great things Apple Cider Vinegar can do, $9.99 for 946 ml at Country Grocer is very reasonable.  I can personally attest that it has totally relieved my acid reflux.  Just add a teaspoon of ACV to a glass of water and drink before your meals. Fantastic.  I prefer Bragg because they use glass bottles rather than plastic.

I watched a documentary on FMTV called  ​'The Gerson Miracle'.  The Gerson Institute has had incredible success in treating cancer.  Basically, the theory is that if you eliminate toxins and greatly increase nutrients, you can heal disease. 

One method that they use is a coffee enema.  I wrote down the recipe and tried it on myself today.  The benefit of a coffee enema is that it stimulates the liver to produce bile which helps with the release of bile.   I have taken the following excerpts from a paper called 'Scientific Basis of Coffee Enemas' which I found online from the Gerson Institute.  To read the complete paper, use your search engine using this title.  It is an interesting and referenced read.​

Okay, here's what you will need:

• ​an enema kit (I got mine from Central Drugs quite reasonably)
• A pot for the water
• A coffee filter (unbleached) and an individual coffee maker (those things you put on top of a coffee cup for one cup of coffee)
  
• A funnel to transfer the filtered coffee into the enema bag.
  
• A little natural oil to lubricate your anus.
  
• Towels and a pillow so you can lay down in the bathroom.
  
• A towel rack to hang the enema bag from so you can rely on gravity.
  
• A timer that you can set for 15 minutes.
  
• A book or something to help you pass the time in a relaxed state.
  

Ingredients:

• ​1 quart distilled water (you can buy it at any pharmacy in the water section)
• ​organic coffee (NOT decaf...the secret is in the caffeine!) I get the beans and grind them fresh.

Steps:

• ​Bring 1 quart (4 cups) distilled water to a boil.
• Add coffee and boil for 3 minutes.
• Simmer for 10 more minutes.
• Cool to room temperature
• Strain into a measuring cup.
• Use funnel to put in the enema bag.
• Lie on your right side with knees slightly bent.
• Administer enema and hold inside for 12-15 minutes then expel (preferably on the toilet!)
• Relax for about an hour afterwards before going shopping in white pants.
  

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I tried this today and feel really good.  If you are suffering from a chronic degenerative disease consider checking out the Gerson Therapy online.  To improve your health knowledge in general check out FMTV.
