The effects of longterm or shortterm coffee enema therapy were investigated on the human physiology by total blood tests before and after the treatment. The study included the group A of 8 clinical subjects, and the group B of a couple in cohabitation. The control group in the group A had 10 times of enema by normal saline during 5 weeks while the test group having 20 times of enema by coffee during the same period. The blood samples of the group A were collected 2 times, before and after the treatment. The test group of the group B have continued coffee enema 2 times per week for 2 years to be compared to the control group. The concentration of caffeine in the coffee solution was 297.39 mg per liter. The measured values of red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) have decreased in the test group in the group A after the therapy. The measured values of platelet and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) have increased in the test group. However, those of the RBC, Hb, Hct, PLT and MCV have increased more than the group A. This results are the differences between group A and B. In the white blood cell concerns, neutrophils, lymphocytes and immature cells have decreased, and the numbers of the neutrophils and basophil have increased in the test group of group A. In the group after the longer therapy the measured values of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils, immature cells have decreased, however those of eosinophil, basophil and lymphocytes have increased in the test group of the group B. No differences appeared in the longterm or shortterm therapy in the WBC concerns. The lipid and cardiovascular test have shown the decrease in the total cholesterol and triglyceride in both test groups of group A and group B. In the group A, the total cholesterol has decreased by 17.5 mP/MDL in the control group and by 6 mg/MDL on the test group after the treatment on average to show greater decrease by saline enema. The group B showed decrease of 2.67 mg/dl in the control group and 15.33 mg/dl in the test group to show greater decrease by coffee enema. And the decrease in the group B showed statistical significance (p<.01). The LDL results have decreased both in the control group and the test group, with greater amount of decrease in the test group of the group B. The average decrease was 3.33 mg/dl in the control group and 12 mg/dl in the test group. Overall the variations of measured values were in the range of reference index. In conclusion coffee enema is considered to be beneficial for the improvement of blood index and maintenance of health as a natural therapy.
