Coffee is a drink made from coffee beans, which are the roasted fruit of the Coffea arabica bush. People drink coffee to relieve mental and physical fatigue and to increase mental alertness. Coffee is also used to prevent Parkinsons disease, gallstones, type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. Other uses include treatment of headache, low blood pressure, obesity, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Rectally, coffee is used as an enema to treat cancer. Coffee enemas are used as a part of the Gerson Therapy. In the Gerson Therapy, cancer patients are treated with caffeinated coffee in the form of enemas every four hours on a daily basis. During the treatment people are given a diet of liver, vegetables, and a variety of medicines, including potassium, pepsin, Lugols solution, niacin, pancreatin, and thyroid extracts. The Gerson Therapy is considered an unacceptable medical practice in the U.S., but continues to be used at The Hospital of the Baja California in Tijuana, Mexico, one mile from the U.S. How does it work? Coffee contains caffeine. Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS), heart, and muscles.
