The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of coffee enema therapy on the examined values of liver functions and blood glucose and uric acid by total blood tests before and after the treatment of coffee enema. 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. In the liver function test, the test group of group A showed decrease in the total protein(TP), total bilirubin(TB), albumin(Alb) and globulin(Glob), while increase in the aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT). The test group of group B showed decrease in the TP, Alb, Glob, AST, ALT, GGT, while increase in the TB. The test group showed high improvements after the treatment in the longterm therapy. The glucose test showed increase in the blood glucose in the test groups of group A, while decrease in the glucose in the test group of group B. However the values were not significant. The uric acid has increased in the control group and decreased in the test group both in the group A and B. The uric acid test has shown more decrease in the test group of group B. The average change before and after the treatment was an increase by 0.25 mg/dl in the control group and a decrease by -0.53 mg/dl in the test group to show opposite results. In the group B, the average change before and after the treatment was an increase by 0.47 mg/dl in the control group and a decrease by -0.13 mg/dl in the test group. Both the decrease in the group A and B showed statistical significance. The blood urea nitrogen( BUN) has decreased in the test group of group A and B. The creatinine has decreased in the test group A, however increased in the test group of group B. The calcium has increased in the test group of the group B. In the thyroid functions, the free T and thyroid stimulating hormone have high decreased in the test group of the group B. The coffee enema therapy showed more improvements after the treatment in the longterm therapy. Coffee enema is considered to be beneficial for the improvement of liver functions, glucose metabolism and uric acid, and maintenance of health as a natural therapy.
