Alternative Medicine/coffee enema

Question
Do you recommend a certain type/brand of organic coffee for coffee enemas?

Separate question: Why isn't N-Acetyl Cysteine advised more? With so many people commonly taking meds such as acetaminophen that reduce glutathione levels why don't Dr's prescribe oral N-Acetyl Cysteine more or at all?

Thanks,

James
