A simple, at-home cleanse built on the same three steps we use in our Frisco clinic: cleanse, balance, then refill.
Dr. Matt Chalmers developed this protocol from years of running gut and liver cleanse programs with patients at Pillars of Wellness. It pairs a coffee enema made with four of his cleanse formulas, yeast-balance support, and a rebuilding phase with nutrient-dense food and probiotics.
Everything you need is available in our online shop or at the clinic. If you would like a schedule built around your health history, our team can set one up for you.
A coffee enema made with 2 capsules each of Parastat, Biliven, Paratosin and Tomorrow-FX. Supports the liver, bile flow and a deeper gut cleanse.
Black seed oil or Superior RFA to support a healthy balance of yeast and gut microbes while you cleanse.
Nutrient-dense food plus Superior Probiotic to rebuild the gut with nutrients and beneficial bacteria.
This is the centerpiece of the protocol. Dr. Chalmers adds four of his cleanse formulas directly to the coffee so their botanicals are delivered right where the cleanse happens.
Option 1: Standard coffee maker. Open the 8 capsules and add the powders to your coffee pot along with 2 tablespoons of coffee. Brew as normal. The heat helps draw out the botanicals.
Option 2: Grind-and-brew coffee maker. If your coffee maker grinds the beans and then brews, add your coffee beans as usual, open the 8 capsules and empty the powders into the glass coffee carafe, then run the coffee maker like normal. The hot coffee drips onto the powdered supplements and mixes with them properly.
A cleanse is a good time to support a healthy balance of yeast in the gut. Dr. Chalmers uses one of two options:
Clearing the gut is only half the job. The second half is rebuilding it. Dr. Chalmers calls this the Kill & Refill approach.
If you have a known issue, a coffee enema 2–3 times a week for 3 weeks is often quite helpful. After that, many people do a maintenance enema 2–3 times a month. The right schedule depends on your health history, stress levels and potential for reexposure, so for a plan built around you, call 214-446-5300 or use the form below to have Dr. Chalmers’ team build your plan.
Parasites are one of the most commonly overlooked issues in gut health today. If you have pets, especially dogs and cats, the chances of picking them up are much higher. Standard medical testing for parasites is also notoriously unreliable. This cleanse is designed to help break up biofilms and sweep the places they hide out of your intestines.
Anyone dealing with gut issues such as bloating, gas, or unexplained loose stools or constipation. If you have pets (dogs and cats), it is not a bad plan to clear the gut from time to time.
If you have a known issue, 2–3 times a week for 3 weeks is often quite helpful. To put a specific plan together, it is best to talk with our staff at 214-446-5300.
The goal is to get the oils out of the supplements so they can be delivered through the hepatic portal system to your liver. We do not really want the herb itself. We want the oils that are in the herbs.
Many flavorings are artificial, which works against liver health. Plus, you are taking this rectally, so you do not need to care how it tastes or smells.
No. A coffee maker that grinds the beans for you works great. If you do not have one, you can blend up the beans and add them to hot water. Everything else you need comes in our Coffee Enema Kit.
It is rare. Only about 30% of parasites are visible, so not seeing anything does not mean the cleanse is not working. It is possible you will see something, though. The best advice: if you do not want to see anything, do not look.
RFA is my go-to. Because it is a capsule, it has a better chance of reaching the gut before it opens. I really like black seed oil topically, and people have also reported good results taking it orally.
You can eat a normal low-glycemic diet. Adding organic fermented foods will help restore healthy gut bacteria.
Depending on your stress level, 3–6 weeks is normally enough if you pair it with probiotic- or prebiotic-rich foods. We carry Superior Complete Probiotic and Superior Probiotic 40 Billion CFU.
You can. However, the best and most affordable way is with the coffee enema.
I would not force this on a child, but we do have kids ages 11 and up do this with great results. If you are pregnant or nursing, please call us at 214-446-5300 before starting.
You can begin on your own, but I always recommend discussing it with our staff first.
That depends on the person, their stress levels and their potential for reexposure. Many people complete the protocol and then do a maintenance enema 2–3 times a month.
