Internal salt water bathing is a part of the master cleanse plan. It is used to clean your colonic tract. I have heard it before and most people suggested it is just a fad without trying. I have some doubt in it too. However, it is just salt and water, it won’t kill me, right? so i am going to try it right now.
All you need is one quart (or 1.5 liter , 2.7 FL OZ) of spring or distilled water and two rounded teaspoon of non-iodide sea salt(it is a must, iodized salt will not work). Do it as the first thing in the morning right after you wake up. Luke warm the water and add the salt in it. Drink with empty stomach. The salt water will wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur.
I woke up this morning and perpared the luke warm water with salt. I am drinking the final cup now. It is not as salty as i though. Right after i drank the first cup, i had a really warm feeling in my stomach and that feeling pass on through out my body. I took my first (you know what) after i drank half of the water. However, that’s the usual time that i take a (you know what) everyday so i don’t think it is the salt water (it is not suppose the work that fast anyway).
In the book (The Master Cleanser
Some suggest salt water bath may remove both beneficial and harmful bacteria from the body. Also, the two tea spoon of salt has 200% daily suggestion of sodium.
I will come back and update my (you know what)
Update:
After one hours, it came. First it is solid, then it became watery. It just keep coming out for like 15 minute. I swear to god i have never smell something so bad like that. I can’t believe it came out from my body.
Unlike diarrhea, i don’t have stomach pain or nausea. It is impossible to control it because it keep coming. I just can’t stand up or do something else
If you want to do internal salt water flush, make sure you have a few hours of spare time. Don’t go anywhere cause you won’t be able to control the “you know what” when it come. And it is going to take a while until it pass
Now this is interesting! I’ve seen a number of those “colon cleanse” systems and methods, and this looks like the easiest way to do it.
I’ll have to do some more research and maybe try it out myself!
I just took a dump.
Jer, good for you. Many people have problem doing it everyday!
You brave soul! Sounds similar to the icky stuff you have to drink before having a colonoscopy – but perhaps a little less icky if it tastes less salty. I have a very difficult time drinking that stuff – I can usaully only manage about half before I start to up chuck (whick would defeat the purpose of getting it down in the first place). I don’t think I’d be brave enough to do it voluntarily.
Hi there! Regarding the salt that you mentioned , issit the common kitchen salt? or a special type of salt?
thanks in advance =)
Martin: Normal kitchen salt doesn’t work. You need to buy non-iodide sea salt (i got mine from supermarket, you should be able to find it with the normal salt)
Sea salt. I tried it before. It works well.. A little TOO well. I used organic seasalt.
Yes, it is best to use organic sea salt for this. Not to mention that this is a much cheaper method than some of those offered in retail.
Thank you very much for writing about your experiences! I begin my master cleanse tomorrow. Nervous and excited simultaneously.
Day 1 for me! Had the laxative tea last night, which is good except the flowery aftertaste…just about to mix up my salt water…like Kekoa I am nervous AND excited…
is it true that you have to wait 8 hours to eat after you drink it in the morning?
Jess, no. When you wake up in the morning, take the salt water cleanse on an empty stomach. The salt water will wash through your system in about an hour. Then you can drink some of the lemonade.
Today is my 3rd time doing this in 2 months and it works! I feel energetic and my skin looks amazing 2-3 days after I do it! I also feel light and my stomach looks amazing after. I highly recommend it! I will admit, right after you drink the water and before the first ‘movement’ I feel naseuas. After the first 2 or 3 ‘movements, my mood starts to pick up. I typically have about 6 or 7 ‘moves’ before I’m completely done and it takes up to 2 hours. You KNOW when you are done as it comes out clear! Advise, keep baby wipes handy as toilet paper starts to irritate after a while.
I drink a quart of saltwater ever day and it has helped subdue my allergies and increase my energy. The saltwater flush really helps to detoxify the system which is very important if you live in a polluted city like I do. To make the taste more palatable pour in 2-4 tablespoons of lemon juice and use sea salt! Regular salt is very harsh on the body and tastes terrible. Also make sure the water is warm. Not hot, but warm. It will have a tendancy to run through the kidneys if cold and the bowel if warm.
I’m only 14 and the first night my sister and I had the wrong herbal tea so we just did the saltwater and it worked for her and not for me..!but today i drank it when i woke up and less than an hour later i was on the potty!its so gross but i hope it will improve my skin as well as lower my weight and control my eating ha!well i’m FEELING KINDA SICK GOTTA GO!!!!!!
My friend tried the Master Cleanse and it worked really well for her. I was so impressed with her results that I asked her for the directions so I could try. I did for about 7 days lost 5lbs. Towards the end I realized I stopped losing and my stomach began to swell. I called my friend to see if this was normal and found out that she gave me wrong instructions. I felt so discouraged afterwards that I didn’t even want to do it anymore. It seems as though everywhere I turn I’m hearing about it so I’m taking it as a sign to to give it another chance. Today was day 1, wish me luck. To everyone looking to try it. Don’t rely on the advice of others, buy the book it’s less than $10. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!
I am new here in the world of salt water baths, I have a question to those of you who know quite a bit more…
How many days in a row could you start off with these flushes?
And, how many times a month is good maintenance for the digestive system?
thanks to all responses in advance,
Jim
I am looking for information on bathing babies in salt water in bible days. I believe salt was used to keep flies away because there was no hospitals or doctors at that time.
Can you please help me out?
I want to point out that there are many types of fasts and the master cleanse is not for everyone… be careful… ive seen it do more harm than good… esp. in woman. check into ayurvedic fasts!
and again be careful…
I have been considering the salt water cleanse, sea salt and warm water right? 2 TBS of salt and 2.7oz right? Also how often are you to do this?
hey.i wanted to ask after how many hours after this flush we can eat normally?
If I do not want to do the Master Cleanse, just the salt water bath, is that a problem?
Once every three months, is all we need, this does dehydrates, so it is not good to over do it.
We can start eating after the whole thing is over.
Good luck to everyone!
Will the salt cleanse raise your blood pressure, since it is 200% of the daily requirement of sodium?
will this raise your blood pressure
it is GROSS it taste nasty …..
hope its worth it
can the swf be done without the cleanse , will it work as a laxative? or it must be done with the master clenase..
I have been doing this for the past 4 mornings and plan on doing this for the next 5. I have had intestinal issues for a few years now. I am sick of the different meds to control my acid reflux. Since doing this… I have NOT had any issues with acid reflux. And this fella is right.. on day 1 and 2… the smell is horrendous and leaves you wondering what in the world crawled up inside you and died. In addition… my ‘gas’ has basically disappeared too… when I do have gas it does not smell…. I wish i had known about this years ago.
Geez, I went to the effort of getting non-iodide sea salt but instead of using 2 rounded TEASPOONS I mis-read your instructions and used 2 rounded TABLESPOONS.
Good Lord, I had an intense 4 hour “Power Flush”. 5 trips to the bathroom. Stepped on the scale and dropped three pounds. Whew….what a way to go..literally!
is anyone else throwing up violently after drinking that shit?? uughhh should i drink more if i threw it all up???
I tried it for 2 days and nothing. All that comes out is 100% water. It comes out 5-10 minuets after drinking it. Just water comes out. I just dont get it. And i feel bloated all the time ,i have a bigger stomach , it seems i need a flush ,but again nothing. Doesnt work for me
okay i ama little nervous.i dont want to get bloated.i am excited though.i want to look and feel good like i used to.if any one wants to drop me a line please do it,that way it can be a little more personal instead of waiting to see if anyone has added any new comments,so good luck to us all
I have done this in the past and not to frequently. Only, when I feel the need. Although, it’s nice the most pleasant taste the results certainly help with the over all feeling of not feeling “full inside”.
well i talk to an good friend today and she told me about this cleanser so i went got it today and got on this web and seen john’s testimonie and i was like wow if he can do it from 618pds. so can i well my journey starts today. also good blessing to all that are trying this
Well i’m not doing the master cleanse I’m just doing the swf once a week starting this week and was wondering how long after the flush i must wait to consume regular food again.
Well, I was online looking for the lemonade diet and i came across this site and now i’m wondering if the swf is best. I hope all is doing well.
i have attempted the salt water flush before but i can’t seem to keep it down. i start to throw up about 10 minutes after drinking it. does anyone have any advice?
my dr. is concerned that the salt in th saltwater flush is contributing to my high b/p? It says the saltwater doesn’t mike w/ your blood or kindeys? Ilike doing the flush but I may have to stop if this a problem. Can anyone help me on this Thanks. Erich
How stupid can some of you people be??
Asking health related questions here- like “will this raise my blood sugar??”- this isnt a reputable health forum- GO ASK A DOCTOR! Especially if you have a pre existing health condition! DURRRRRR
And dont get so excited over losing a couple pounds- its WATER WEIGHT. It will alllllll come back. Trust me, you’ll see. You didnt actually think you were losing fat out of your ass after a simple salt water chug, DID you??!! ha.
Seriously people, eating better and getting up and moving more, its not that hard and its the only way.
Gene (and anybody else for that matter) – Do NOT drink a quart of saltwater everyday! It is 200% of your daily recommended sodium intake, and it has a dehydration effect on your system. It is not necessary or good for you to do the salt-water cleanse daily. It should only be done once every 3 months. It is quite an aggressive form of colon cleansing and done too often can do more damage than good. I hope others read this who are doing it to often.
I did the salt water flush this morning, how ever as i;m only 14 and didn’t like the idea of telling parents, had to use table salt as we didn’t have any sea salt.
It still worked. but.. im wondering is this bad for you?
I love it, have done it a couple of times, always worked really well expect once when i lay down after drinking (made me nauseous and vomited it all up). – one thing i will suggest – i dont mix it all together – i usually have a glass of warm water, then the sea salt in a shot glass (ie – like you’re taking vitamin tablets), then wash it down with the rest of the water within 10 mins – works just the same and is much more palatable.
I did a variation to make it easier… Instead of drinking 32oz of salty SEA water. which can make u puke… . I measured out 32oz WARM water. Put 2-TEASPOONS sea salt in a small coffee cup 2 or 3 shot glasses of water and 1 shot glass OJ (or real leamon juice). I heated it to melt the salt. Drank all 3-OJ-salt shots holding my nose so I could not smell the salt. Then I finished the rest of the water with no problems. It worked perfectly fine and it is not as bad tasteing as some people are writing. OJ salt water shots work great! BUT YOU “HAVE” TO DRINK THE REST OF THE PLAIN WATER AT LEAST ROOM TEMP IF NOT WARMER..
the sea salt is too heavy to enter into your blood stream. the sodium levels will not effect your body at all. the only thing this will do is suck the water out of your body much like magnesium citrate does but not on that level.
i use this method a few times a month to clear my system. magnesium citrate i use at the beginning and end of a cleanse.
I tried the swf and i threw up 3 times consecutively! Do i need to drink it again?
I did Salt water flush last Saturday. I Feel great. It is definitely worth drinking 1 quart sea salt water :) I had light breakfast in the morning. I didn’t eat anything than after & drank 3 cups of sea salt water at 5:00 PM. (Add 2 T spoon sea salt in 4 cups of water.) I could drink only 3 cups.Exactly after 65 mins I visited bathroom for 25 mins. Gosh it smelled too bad :( On & Off I kept going until 9:00 PM. I had ice cream & eddammame that night. Next day I went light on solid food. Drank too much water. Feel so clean & light from inside. This is amazing!
Does anyone know how long you take this when your doing the master cleanser as well?? I mean do I only take it for a day or two or do i take it as long as i do the master cleanser??
After you take the sea salt flush in, however, you really need to lay on your right side for 30 mins. Then you can get up and move around. Trust me this really works. You just have to be able to last that long. Just stay focus!
I’ve done the salt water cleanse 6x in 14 days while doing the master cleanse. Nothing comes out but water and lemonade. It doesn’t work. Any suggestions.
do you loose weight from doing this sea water diet? thats the only reason i want to do it and how long should you do it for?
can i start with 1 teaspoon with 16 oz.
or can i put 1 teaspoon in 2 16 oz. glasses and drink them both/
For me, it was during the summer and my stomach was very bloated for days. I knew i was going to be spending a lot of time in a bathing suit and didn’t want to have a huge stomach or have someone ask me if I was pregnant. I’m not “regular” when it comes to going to the bathroom so I figured a colon cleanse would be a good place to start. If I lost weight along the way, that’s just an added bonus.
I started taking the Dr. Max Powers 15 Day Cleanse. The bottle says to drink 8oz of water with the pills but I always tried to drink more. I also made sure i didn’t take them on an empty stomach. That being said, my experience so far has not been that bad.
The first 2 days I went to the bathroom at least 1x a day. On the 3rd day, it was the toughest. My stomach was cramping a lot and I was very gassy. I didn’t stop taking the pills because I figured they were working. After all, i want to remove stuff from my body.
I don’t know if what I did was right, but I followed the directions on the bottle, stuck with my same diet which isn’t so healthy and didn’t exercise.
My stomach isn’t bloated anymore (knock on wood) and I see a difference in my thighs as well (which was a pleasant surprise). It feels a lot better than a laxitive because there are no sudden runs to the bathroom. It appears to be safe and natural. I am drinking more water than I use to and honestly have more energy.
HOpe my review helps you decide whether or not youre going to try this product. Once again, as I mentioned, I”m sure everyone’s experience will be different and it’s important to listen to the reviews that relate to your experience. Good luck.
Whyyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyyyy boooohoooooo this is horrid I can’t drink it it suxxxxxxxxxxxx I have to finish thoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Helpppppp
Hi, after checking around, finally I did!
since I am lliving in china, first I have to find sea salt, and I did.
good.
I suffer of costipation since 25 year. So I am used to laxative or similar. In addition, I have an irritable colon, which make my flush really painful, having lot of gas, and whatever.
Yesyterday evening I took an herbal laxative tea, and this morning – with a lot of scary – I start drinking 1lt +2teaspoon sea salt + fresh lemon juce…….I took in three times, nearly vomiting, but I didn’t….
after that, 5 minutes later I had my latte with a slice of bread (I guess this is wrong) but I NEED TO EAT IN THE MORNING! …anyway, after 20 minutes I have had my flush, without any pain, and then the second flush which was quite water only…
the very strange is that during the day, I drink a lot of water and not feeling hungry, but I had my lunch and my dinner the same. Just light and small meals. I feel very good and I wish to repeat.
Since I suffer of costipation, can I use this system lets say 3/4 times a week?
thanks a lot from China( I am italian….)
how to do a salt water flush?? i am still confused after reading this post. The first time i do it i puke my gut out
Is this the same as salt water diet?
I am looking for info on bath in salt water
i immediately got a heachahe after i began drinking it was so bad and lasted throughout the nite till next afternoon!! I didnt even poop once and im kind of scared of all that salt in me. Im a big water drinker about 4l a day or more so im not dexydrated. I did 1 teaspoon on one cup of water and i did it right after each other and nothin.im gna try 2mrw morning 2 teaspoons on 4cups of lukewarm water? Gosh i already have a headache just thinking about it!!
Remember it’s 1 quart of luke warm filtered water to 2 teaspoon organic sea salt
Add more salt if necessary to your liking
Oh my gosh.. so I drank it (cold water) warm made me dry heave. And
It totally worked… makes you wonder what the hell have I REALLY been ingesting..I am going to do it again tomorrow. The smell is TERRIBLE!
hmm, this is really interesting, I am starting a fast tomorrow, but I wanted to do a SWF tonight, and my mom just took me out to eat, would it be safe to do it already? and is the tea required? =) thank you.
Wel its workin 4 me jst fyn,cnt wait to see the results*
gudluk 2 u all
Okay, so here goes:
I live in Germany, so we don’t really have just plain water, only mineral water. However, sea salt is available everywhere. I mixed 1 tsp of sea salt (natural) with 500mL of mineral water kept at room temperature and about 20 mL of lemon juice (organic). It tasted no different than bizarre Sprite….
Perhaps it is important that I inform you that I did indeed do a juice fast for two days prior, so I suppose that helps things out a bit….
In addition, you have to be a bit disciplined and ‘keep it in’ for 45-60 minutes. Of course, I suppose lying on your side helps as well. Then, you can go to the restroom. I had to go about three times (so far) and I took it about 2 hours ago.
Yes, okay, so it is not the pleasant smell of roses, but I assume that’s for a reason….After all, with all the nonsense we consumed as kids and even now as adults, is it any wonder?
Well, in any case, I thought I’d share, and to comment on a few others’ posts:
1. Yes, it does work with water at room temperature.
2. No, do not use table salt. The whole point of using sea salt is that it just gets expelled from the body (not metabolized). If you use table salt, you will probably actually metabolize all that sodium, which is REALLY unhealthy.
3. If it’s not working, then perhaps you are using the wrong proportion of salt to water (not enough or too much). Alternatively, you may not have rested on your right side (long enough) OR you may not have anything LEFT in your colon if you’re doing this interesting cleanse thing. The last possible explanation is that you’re not ‘keeping it in’ long enough.
4. I didn’t need tea, but then again, I had a juice fast for two days.
P.S. I forgot to add that I did the 500 mL, 1 tsp, 20 mL of organic lemon juice twice, immediately one after the other.
i tried the SWC this morning to no avail. i feel bloated and my stomach is distended like crazy, but no results. i cant go- at all. what did i do wrong?
some advice for those here asking questions. Im on my third mastercleanse. the first day SWF did not work for me.. which was odd. then next few days I did not have time to wait 4 hours.. which is how long it takes me. I did it again DAY 4 and it totally worked.. I also added a little bit more salt.
A good tip is to imagine you are drinking chicken broth or veggie broth or ramen noodle type salty water. It helps to get it down. I think the throwing up is psychological. So pretend it is soup and actually warm it up.. it REALLY HELPS to warm it up a little and then pretend its soup. I also massage my belly wish castor oil.. to get things moving.
I dont think SWF is something to do on a regular basis outside of a cleanse.
Mastercleanse is amazing in the sense that you also test your will power and once on the cleanse you start getting you life focus back since youre not obsessed with food for a little while and you start to see where you eat unecessarily. Its very hard.. but after the first few days.. you end up on top of the world with very good energy.
However… I am a dance and performer.. and my joints tend to hurt during the cleanse.. so I have to be careful.. though I do still perform and teach while on the cleanse…just a little more carefully.
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS CLEANSE WITHOUT READING HOW TO PROPERLY DO IT!!!
GET THE BOOKLET. its only like 6 dollars at the health food store.
HONESTLY IT IS DANGEROUS AND IDIOTIC TO ATTEMPT IT WITHOUT KNOWING THE EXACT WAY.
Good luck and enjoy your new toxic free bodies.
Im heading towards day 5 now.
new york.
Ok, so I thought I would post how this SWF treated me.
So I tried the SWF after hearing about it from several people and reading the master cleanse and other websites. I have never had a problem doing #2s. Typically 2-3 times a day which I don’t know if its a good thing or not… But I figured I must still have some “junk” left over in my system that this would probably help with. Besides, its just salt and water. Nothing harmful I would think.
I’ve always had a problem with gas. Found out as a little kid to which I’ve never had soda or beans and other gassy stuff since then. A little gas in my body will cause discomfort for hours…
So I went out and got the organic sea salt. After drinking it with semi hot water. Within 30 mins, I started having gas problems. My stomach was bloated, it was hurting so much that I had to lay down on my bed. 30 mins later, I throw everything back up. I only had 1 glass of water with the sea salt, but I must have threw up like 8 glasses of liquid… I felt like all the liquid in my stomach was gone.
My stomach was still hurting from being bloated with gas. So I drank another glass of just water and went back to laying in bed again. Well this discomfort from gas lasted me throughout the night and into 2/3 of the next day. It was really painful at times. The morning of the 2nd day, I did go to bathroom for #2 5-6 times. The last 2 was all water and smelled nasty. Then the massive headache started. Now I am in day 3 and everything is back to normal.
The result: I am not sure if it actually did anything since I threw it all up and some more within 30 mins. But on the 2nd day, I did go for #2 more than usual and the last 2 times was just water which I have never experienced before. Do I feel any difference? My stomach is smaller(probably due to all the water I threw up from the first day… That and I haven’t had any real food for 2 days now. Just cereal and soup. I want to try it again but I can’t go through the gas discomfort again…… At one point I was considering going to the doctors cause I’ve never had serious gas discomfort lasting 2 days.
Alright this comment is all you need to know, straightforward and flat out.
It doesn’t matter how much “salt water” you drink. It simply has to be sufficiently salty so your body expels it. I do 1 Tbsp (NOT IODIZED) to about 23oz of water (a beer glass). This guarantees it is too salty for your body to absorb WHICH IS GOOD. Chug it, or drink it as fast as possible. Sipping will NOT be as effective. And keep it down, if you puke its probably because you never tried the beer bong in college.
THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS DIET!!. THIS IS A BODY FLUSH. SPECIFICALLY YOUR DIGESTIVE TRACT, INTESTINES, COLON, ETC.
The Master Cleanse IS a diet, but this is not the master cleanse. Do your homework if you are interested in it.
If you do this daily for extended periods you will probably die or dehydrate your body to raisin status. So don’t.
Try not to eat before hand but feel free to eat after you “finish” the cleanse and expel it all. If you feel a headache or dizziness during the process this means your body was dehydrated going into the flush. DRINK MORE REGULAR WATER DAILY. YOU NEED IT OR YOU DIE. That should be obvious.
So again, the steps in simple form:
1. 1 Tablespoon Non-iodized Salt + Water (20-40oz)
2. Chug or drink quickly and keep down.
3. Hang out near a bathroom, on your side if you please.
4. Let it get to the point where you KNOW you have to go.
5. Go to the toilet. Go and go like you have never gone before.
6. If done correctly you should complete the GOing in approximately 15 mins. Just stay on the toilet the whole time because it will come in waves.
Done. Live your life as if it were just another day.
I’m having a colonoscopy tomorrow, and my friends told me about this flush, WOW, way easier than the Miralax and gatorade. Started at 3pm all finished at 8pm. Not too bad, I did take the advise of a previous blogger and did a shot glass filled with salt, then 32 oz of water, started working in 15 min.
I am on my 5th day of the master cleanse
I cant decide if it is the easiest thing or the hardest thing i have ever done.
I have drank laxative tea every night, done the salt water flush (luke warm water 1 litre and 2 tsp organic sea salt twice) and eaten nothing other than the lemonade (organic lemons, oraganic maple syrup and cayenne pepper. and in the ENTIRE 5 day i have had one “movement”
This cant be normal, im worried. I feel bloated but i just can’t “go”
PLEASE help! ANY suggestions? im worried. Should i go see a doctor?
thanx :)
Good luck everyone
I just started the Lemonade Diet today; from the book “THE MASTER CLEANSER” by Stanley Burroughs. I got this book from ebay for $6.50, after reading all the good reviews on the web recommending this for losing weight. I found this website as I was searching for info on how other people handled drinking the salt water bath, which I found difficult to ingest. I can say, I did manage to get it down after drinking some fast in several intervals, while distracting my mind on other thoughts. A few times, I thought I was going to puke it up, but I tried to keep it together, so I would not have to drink more to compensate should a loss occur. The lemonade diet, book says, as I understand it, goes like this as follows daily:
Daily Intake Minimum 10 day diet; can go longer =
EVERY MORNING: “Salt Water Bath” – (2 teaspoons Organic Non-Iodized Sea Salt with 1 quart warm water) DO NOT USE REGULAR TABLE SALT!!! * DO NOT USE REGULAR TABLE SALT!!!
DAILY FOOD INTAKE: “Lemonade Drink” – #1.) 2 Tablespoons fresh juice from Organic Limes or Lemons, /no canned frozen or concentrate/; #2.) 2 Tablespoons Organic Pure Maple Syrup Grade B, /do not substitute flavor or other grades/; #3.) 1/10 teaspoon cayenne red pepper; #4.) 10 ounce glass warm water. ***MIX THE FOUR INGREDIENTS & DRINK up to 6-12 glasses daily, as needed.. NO OTHER FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS DIET. The lemonade is food in the form of liquid and contains a complete balance of vitamins and minerals. DO NOT TAKE ANY OTHER VITAMIN PILLS DURING THE DURATION OF THIS DIET. You may have as much water as you like.
EVERY EVENING BEFORE BEDTIME: “Drink 1 Cup Herb Laxative Tea”. (I bought mine cheaper on http://www.vitacost.com; Organic Smooth Move Senna Herbal Laxative Tea by Traditional Medicinals, but they have this at local grocery stores too) haven’t tried it yet just started this diet today; only got to the salt water bath so far.. I got the Maple Syrup from that site too. But other people said Traders Joe’s has the Maple Syrup..
THIS IS IT;!! YOU GET NO OTHER SOLID FOODS DURING THE DURATION OF THIS DIET. WE SHALL SEE HOW MANY DAys I CAN GO. I’M SUCKING IT UP ONLY TO LOSE WEIGHT AND RID MY BODY OF TOXINS. WISH ME LUCK. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS TRYING IT TOO! : )
PS: after coming off this diet the book talks about introducing solids foods back. I got the book but Im not going to summarize it cause I’m getting tired of typing.
This didn’t work for me at all. I tried mixing the salt, water, and some lemon juice in a coffee cup, Drank that really quickly, and then followed it up with the warm water. All it did was make me puke 5 times. There were no other ‘movements’. So disappointed because it tasted really nasty!
I am born on May 23…so it is interesting when “whoops” put on that day that they did the flush and made the error or taking 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons of salt I did the exact same thing. I WAS GOING THE NATURAL GALLBLADDER STONE CLEANSE, and the instructions for that are far from complete as well so it was well worth my while to be prepared with techniques like the saltwater flush and the enema. So I was going the gallbladder cleanse for the second time and THIS TIME because I’m doing the stupid 1 day one with no applejuice (the powercleanse) THE OIL GETS STUCK, and now I’m really nauseas from it. So I try this salt water flush and use the wrong amount in the water, couldn’t even gag the last bit down (so hats of to you whooops because I’m pretty tough), and instead of going to the bathroom 1 hour later. I just threw up hard for about 2-3x. Thankfully that still helped massive because it took alot of the blocking oil out from the top of my system, I tell you they should warn you far more about possible complications like this and what to do for them on the instructional sties. Oh well, I am going to try the one more time and do it really properly, I’m pretty sure I will get good results.
PEOPLE — THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT — don’t believe anything on here that says a salt water flush will elevate sodium levels in the blood or cause high blood pressure. That is totally wrong. This sea salt water drink totally moves through your body without the sodium being absorbed by any of your organs or your blood. Read up on it – it’s true. I have tried this, and it works great. Yes..you do not want to do this too often as you will become dehydrated or cause constipation problems. Drink plenty of fluids after the flush to rehydrate! Good luck.
Read this very informative article: http://www.the-master-cleanse.net/Salt-Water-Flush/the-salt-water-flush.html
You were totally wrong not to approve my comment ! It was the only one that was telling the truth. That is so sad..
i have read all of yal commments i start tomorrow yes it really works its better to do it along with the master cleanse because you will lose more you can find the info by going to beyonce diet. it is known as the beyonce diet because beyonce did this diet because she wanted to lost 10 pounds before being in the movie dream girls
My..my..my..where do i start? So I stumbled on this site 2 days ago. Being the natural health nut that I am-I rushed out the next morning to buy non-iodized sea salt. Mind you I had sea salt, but after reading the blog here, i went over the label and it said Iodized-so I know it was no good for this task! After tirelessly asking around in the grocery and sifting through 15 different brand of sea salt I finally found a section with a few sorts of Sea Salt in the fancy-schumpcy section of the summer cooking/BBQ isle. ( Those of you who live in Montreal and shop at L’épicerie IGA knows what I’m talking about. Anyhoo, I settled for “New Zealand Organic Sea Salt”. Fast forward next morning and I got my mixture started-2 teaspoon of salt to 4 cups of water. Oh men, this was nasty going down in my opinion, I drank and drank and drank some more and kept thinking, I hope I don’t drown on all this water-Gad! lol. So I rolled my way upstairs and laid on my side like a whale stuck on the shore-literally! lol. My stomach growled and withing 5 mins. I was on the toilet bowl. First batch came out in tact, then 15 mins later i was on again, not too bad, I flushed went again, this time it smelt so horrible I almost passed out! whew!! And then my stomach growled again and it kept on coming out again, and again, but from the fourth time up to the eighth time, my goodness-this is the truth! I went similar to when you open a tap full blast on high pressure! I was like what the?!? Oh men-but i felt soooooooo good after! I weighed at 132.5 before my flush, after the flush I was at 130! I didn’t realized I had soo much water in my body to pass…After all was said and done, all I wanted to eat was fruits!! So I had 1/3 of an apple, some blueberries, blackberries and a fresh cup of apple juice for breakfast. I highly advise this flush, it is very easy, economical, safe and beneficial!

Can you use rock salt it’s non iodized please reply asap as I wanna do it in the morn but the shops won’t be open because it’s a bank holiday then!! Thank you :)
Hi Everyone,
I have done this before and can tell you from experience that it truly works. Making sure to get it ALL down is what is most important. If you have to tweek the timing or even the way you do it in order to fit your’s specific needs (gag reflex, etc.) then so be it. Personally, I mix the 2 teaspoons of salt in with warm water in a shot glass. I take half the shot glass, then half of my 1.5 liters. Repeat with the final of each left. Adding lemon for taste will definitely help (though not necessary) and doesn’t cause the body to be “distracted” by trying to digest something. Adding any kind of juice, which is mainly made up of sugars, will cause the body confusion. The body doesn’t absorb the salt to a degree of which that could be harmful. It rejects it completely, which is why the body “expels” it so quickly. A Salt Water Flush is truly simple, incredibly effective and easy on the wallet too!
Lastly, I want to add that it’s no wonder really to see that people here are complaining about this and that. Bloating, pain, irritation, mental, emotional and physical upheaval is what happens when we do a serious cleanse and “expel” toxins from our systems. This pain and frustration is actually a good sign that all your hard work is paying off. Find the courage to stick it out and see it through for yourself. In the end, your skin will glow, your body will begin to heal, you will weigh less, actually feel lighter emotionally/mentally, and hopefully most importantly be proud of your self.
Good Luck,

You need not have to add any salt to water,(what does the salt do?)To effectively begin a morning bowel movement simply drink a tall glass of WARM water on an empy stomach every day.the digestive track is self cleaning.Avoid processed food,eat organic apples daily.also get a colonic/enima’s at the beginning of all four seasons of the year.
Hello all! This is my second day of The Master Cleanse, so far so good. I almost had a breakdown last night because I felt so hungry, but I pulled through, and Im so glad I did! Today was the first time I did the salt water bath (I hear you have to have an hour to spare and yesterday just wasnt going to work). I could not manage to drink the entire quart. I instantly felt sick! It disagreed with me so much that I actually vomited some of it back up :( My question is: will the salt water bath still have an effect if I can only manage to frik half a quart with 1 tea spoon of the sea salt? I guess I will find out soon eough.. but I just wanted to ask anyway :)
Thanks.
Good luck with your Cleansing!
What type of water? I’ve read that only reverse osmosis water should be used for the salt water flush. I can’t get it and wondered if I can do the flush with distilled water or regular tap water? Which is better to use with the sea salt distilled or unfiltered tap water???
Thanks!
Well today is my fourth full day of the master cleanse. Feeling very proud being infront of all kinds of amazing food that I loved I actually avoided. I did the sea salt flush again today (my second time) it’s disgusting. But it does work!! No proud though just very water bowl… The best way I find to down it is to mix the 2 teaspoons of sea salt with a little bit of water … Chug that right away… Right after have your 4 cups of warm water it is just as effective and will do the trick! This is the second time doing the master cleanse my goal is 20 days!!! Good luck to everyone !!! If you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer anything I know !
Good luck ! :)
I have done a 8 days water fast 2 months ago but didn’t do swf. I think next time it will work better if I try the swf….it sounds nasty though, don’t know if i’ll manage to down so much salty water in one go!
You gotta be joking. Salt water is poisonous. That’s why it make you feel sick! Are you recommending this as a doctor?
