Group Cleanse Support Topic: Detox and The Salt Water Flush (My Experience)
This page is a Support Topic Page for the Topic of Detox and The Salt Water Flush for our Master Cleanse Group Cleanse. Please check that page for details on our Quarterly Cleanses and our Individual Cleanses.
The Group Cleanse will not only give us the forum to support each other, doing The Master Cleanse together, but it also enables us to track our experiences by setting standards to the conversation. If we all just posted random thoughts we would get a lot less value from the comments. But if the comments are structured, and relevant by time and topic, we can gain even more insight, more quickly and more effectively. Therefore we ask participants to start and finish the Master Cleanse on the same dates.
This page is the place for participants in the The Master Cleanse Group Experience to post their daily entries. To post, simply leave a comment. You don’t have to be logged in to post. Please provide 100 words each day – don’t worry; that’s not that much. The paragraph below, for example, is 100 words.
Support Topic: Detox and The Salt Water Flush
The Salt Water Flush (SWF) might be the hardest part of the Master Cleanse, but it doesn’t have to be. It is essential to the cleanse because it facilitates the detox by flushing your system. What is working and what is not working. How are your movements? Are they successful? What do they look like? Are they getting lighter or darker? Are the becoming more frequent? Do you have other signs of detoxing, like breakouts or white tongue? The Master Cleanse is about Detox and daily eliminations are critical to the success of the cleanse. Is this Detox Diet successful so far?

The above post was for lead in day 1
Well I did go to the bathroom this morning twice actually but I did not take a laxative last night as I was supposed to, I guess. I was not aware of this step or had overlooked it? But we are still in the ease in phase so still eating solids at this point. I know we are supposed to be getting ready for a mass attack on our system and learning the steps bit by bit. I may review all the steps again so I dont miss any. I bet this is another bonus to the ease in phase. Getting all the steps correct in our minds. It seems to work as I can attest too.
I’m on the night of the 10th day. Throughout this whole cleanse I haven’t had big or “regular” BM’s and literally feel a blockage in the upper stomach (sensed it was there before I began, which is why I did the cleanse).
I went through the Napa Earthquake about a month and a half ago and had a terrifying experience. I believe I am still “holding on” for dear life.
Can anyone suggest what I should do at this point to move what is stuck in my upper stomach? I’m noticing that the LA and water I’m drinking feels like it is sitting on top of my intestines. I have been doing either tea of the SWF every day, but right now my stomach feels full on top and don’t know that I could get more liquid in.
I have also been craving food for the first night and went to get org veggie broth, oranges, kale and org diced tomatoes to put in the soup I plan to make when I break the fast tomorrow.
HELP! I appreciate any ideas/feedback/advice you have! Thanks! JJ
I’ve been doing the cleanse for 8 days and have had 1 movement. I haven’t used the tea or the flush. I kind of have the feeling there isn’t anything solid to eliminate. I don’t feel bad or impacted. Is this ok? I am amazed at how little hunger I’m experiencing. Please give me some feedback.
Thank you do much. Genevieve
Hi Genevieve,
NO!
This is not OK.
Sorry to be blunt, but you need to be clear on this.
You need to have a movement each day. You’re producing waste that you’re not eliminating (only because you have no fibre in your diet to create a bowel movement, not because you have no waste).
Please follow the instructions. They’re there for a reason.
Master Cleanse Day 9
I have been doing the Salt Water Flush everyday, and I am surprised at how many toxins are still being released at this stage. Although I only have one more day to go after this for the standard cleanse, I am considering going longer, because I want all of those toxins out. However, I am planning to do raw vegan after this, so eventually those toxins would be eliminated, anyway. But it has taken me awhile on this cleanse to feel somewhat stable and peaceful, and now that I am finally here, I’m not sure that I want to stop. I’m definitely planning to do these cleanses a lot more often–probably not the fall one, but the winter one. I do want to take full advantage of where I’m at, though, and really listen to my body. I did start my cycle today (over a week early) and so I want to be sensitive to that. I’m also wondering if anyone else has had that experience? Doesn’t seem so strange, I guess.
The SWF has been good. There are times when the movements happen faster than others, and times that I feel it didn’t quite work all the way…that some of the salty water is still in my system throughout the day…but all in all I think it is very beneficial. Looking in the toilet, I know I don’t want that inside of my body. I have been considering doing enemas instead, and I’m still feeling that one out.
The laxative tea sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Last night I steeped two tea bags and still didn’t need to go this morning, although I did feel my stomach rumble in the early hours of the morning. Last time I steeped two tea bags (because one didn’t work), early on in my cleanse, I woke up at 3 a.m. and needed to go. I do enjoy the tea at night then. Nobody said I couldn’t buy the CHOCOLATE flavored senna tea :-). Yum.
Well happy fasting, everybody! I’ve been watching youtube videos on adopting a raw vegan lifestyle after this. I am sure I will be tempted by some of my favorite dishes at least one more time before doing something like that, but eventually, that is where I want to be. The health just glows from the people in the video, and I definitely resonate with the spiritual reasons for doing so as well.
MC Day 10
Did mostly the Laxative Tea rather than the SWF. It was effective even though there were lots of cramps.
Got lots of toxins out and feel good.
MC Day 9
Today I did the SWF and it did not work as it has before.
I took it the way I’ve always done it with rapid results…but I not eliminated that
water and it’s been 6 hours. Somethings off.
Not sure why…I double checked that I used the UNIODIZED salt and I did.
Any feedback???
MC Day 8
I’ve had really uncomfortable cramps today…however, I know what being eliminated is TOXIC…it even smell toxic…so I will continue to use the Laxative tea to get rid of the stuff that isn’t good for my body.
MC Day 7
Detoxing is going pretty well.
The cramps lasts for a short amount of time and makes it clear that
I should stay close to the house.
Today is day 6 and the swf works everyday. I am not sure if it is normal but has anyone experienced less and less movement after the swf? The first 4-5 days I went very often and it was a little dark. Today, I did go couple times but this time was really light color. I keep wodering, is it normal?
