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?

Day 9- drank the tea last night, small results. I’m noticing my tongue is just about cleared up. Your right, 7 days is not enough. A lot happened on day 8 that wouldn’t get eliminated if I stopped earlier. Onward to day 10.
Today has been a major detox day for me. Uncomfortable and difficult. It will pass. Just think, if I had given up on Day 7, this cleanse would not have done it’s job.
My body continues to eliminate several times a day. I often have stomach cramping. My tongue looks funky and I don’t know it that is due to the detox or not. Today I also had back pain in my mid-back area on the left side. I try to ignore it. I’m sounding whiny here, sorry. I feel like I’m fighting my own body.
Jennifer- there is an option on the Facebook page to private message them. It says that they usually respond in an hour.
Today I have the nasal drip- which is going to be a pain as I am starting a next class today. I will sniffle the whole way through and assure everyone it’s the cleanse not a bug!
I am still feeling sluggish some mornings- having a hard time waking up etc. Is anyone else feeling this? I had hoped the cleanse would give me more zip to bounce out of bed every morning!
Another question- maybe for you Cathy- as we ease out do we need to wait for Sunday to reintroduce other teas? I am an Irish Breakfast tea girl ( drank with a splash of milk). If no one knows, I will ask on Facebook.
I do not know about your tea question Mary.
Had my tea last night and had small results this morning. I don’t feel bloated or constipated, so I am not worried about it. I did not post my questions on FB, somehow that seems too public!!
I suppose I could try less salt, but I think I will just “option out” of that option!
Thank you for all your support!
I am still having bowel movements several times a day, with cramping and discomfort before each one. I am incredulous that there is anything left to come out! Am I detoxing everything I’ve ever had in my entire life? Like the bubble gum I accidentally swallowed as a child is finally being forced out? They warned me that gum never digests, but did I listen? No.
Although the SWF is part of the cleanse, I’m ready to start my day with coffee instead! I’ll never forget that it was TMC that had me completely give up regular coffee and go decaf. I will NEVER come off caffeine again!
Sorry Jennifer- can you go for a colonic? I know I would have no bowel movements without a colonic or the salt water flush. Have you tried the salt water flush with just 1 teaspoon of salt instead of 2? He mentioned somewhere that that works for him as well as 2 teaspoons.
I had only 1 episode of puking the swf so I have some idea of how unpleasant that has to feel for you. Hopefully you can post on FB and get some input from the expert Mike.
Melinda- I have no urges “to go” unless after the swf…. and then I am sort of expecting it.
Hope the rest of your day goes smooth ladies ( pun intended hahaha) !!!
Tried the flush again this morning, got half way through and started gaggin and then threw it all up. Sorry ladies, I have tried the straw, warm water, finer sea salt (yes, non-ionized), I did it this morning after having nothing in my stomach for >8hrs. I just can’t stomach it.
My concern is that even with the laxative tea every night, I have not had a movement since Thursday. Should I increase the tea to twice a day? Or is this an indication that my body is done?
The daily email mentioned the importance of going the full 10 days, which at this point I might as well complete it! However, I will NOT be doing that flush again!
Jennifer, consider posting that question on Facebook. You should have been having movements every day. Even if they are brown and watery, that is counted as a movement. If you have just been passing clear, non-colored water, post that question to Mike. He is the expert.
Do you find that everything feels normal as you go about your day, and then you get about a minute’s notice that you need to hit the restroom and fast? That’s how it’s been for me today. I’m glad I don’t have to get up in the night because I don’t have great balance and trying to move quickly when I just wake up would be hard. But then, I can do hard things. It’s Day 7 and I’m still here. Everybody doing this cleanse has shown they can do hard things. Let’s go! (to the bathroom!)
