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.

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?

Lemonade day 3 5:20pm
Just getting ready to head home, and maybe out to a class tonight, I’ll see if I can get rid of my chill, been so chilly, I might up my maple syrup and cayenne tomorrow…
Anyways I had a similar morning experience as yesterday, got up 5:30 drank my SWF then fell back asleep for awhile, had some eliminations before work and then continued for a bit after.
I don’t seem to be having much bowel movements other then the SWF eliminations…Wondering whats up with that, as the book says I should have at least 3 a day…hmm but I have to say I am really like such clean clear pees, feels good to know that we are making are bodies so pure. I do 2tsps of salt in my morning SWF and like it, its very tolerable for me.
Happy healing!
Lemonade Day 3
I have to make sure I’m close to a bathroom at all times because I need to either pee or poo at random times. Remember that emergency pit stop the other day? Yup, when the need arises, it’s coming and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It caught me in the shower the other night. Had no choice. But moving on!
My body feels lighter in many ways. My clothes look different on my today. Since I weight myself last night, I know things are happening so I looked at myself closer in the mirror this morning. My face looks less swollen and cheeks are rosier. My face is less oily. My tongue doesn’t feel as “greasy” as it did the first day. My ankles are looking normal and I seem to have less cellulite.
It’s amazing what the stuff that has already come out was doing to me.
My goal is to keep the bowel movements coming. I feel like I may need to increase the amounts of sea salt, cayenne and laxative tea in order to keep getting the same effect. I visited the toilet 5 times yesterday. I went twice this morning after the SWF. And I have to be careful because I mistook gas this morning for something else and had to change my undies…LOL – it is what it is.

Lemonade day 2
Detox
Well Im detoxing but I think I backing up as well because I don’t have a whole lot coming out, I only have the constant all day squirts, where you think you have to poot but it turns out its a shart and you have to squeeze your buttocks very tight so you don’t cleanse all over your clothes, yeah its one of those, so I have lots of fun working my gluteus threw out the day, I don’t even have relief as night. I am waking up in the middle of the night so that my lovely detoxing body can have the chance to cleanse all while Im dead tired and falling asleep on the stool. wow today is not a good day and my swf made me spray chunks out of the shower it was like Emily rose man for real it was horrible, I cried then I laughed and said o well time for another juice
Oh man…I thought I was the only one…not pleasant but we have to keep going.
Lemonade day 2
Good afternoon everyone, well It was a tough morning to get out of bed as the temperature dropped here the last few days, its been so cold, I thought it was maybe just me and doing the cleanse but no its cold for everyone else. so yes this morning It was cold and I was so tired, its very tough to get out of bed so tired and a little weak feeling in the mornings at 5am…
But its also very motivating and I get very proud of myself when I do get up, knowing that if i don’t get up to do the SWF right at 5:30 then it will mess up the whole morning gets me out of bed pretty good, so this morning I got up, warmed some water, drank the SWF and then decided to lie down for a bit, and then it was really hard to get out of bed. I had some good eliminations at home, and a little at work.
Other then that, nothing, and I am so tired, I am hoping my walk in the cool air will wake me up to stay awake for a few more hrs, but definitlely a earlier night. The laxative I used last night was more gentle for me, I’ll try it again tonight and SWF in the morning.
lemonade diet day two.
The SWF was really hard this morning, even though I mixed 1 tablespoon of salt into one cup of water and then drank 3 cups of lukewarm water. I was very nausiated for about ten minutes but I kept it down. The rest of the day has been easy. Not thinking about food much and have to remind myself to drink my lemonade.
day 2 of mc I couldn’t do the swf it made me fell like I wanted to throw up so I didn’t do it I did my smoothe move tea last night and had a bm this morning I think I will lay off the swf for a day and see what happens
Lemonade Day 2
I decided to drink the laxative tea last night as my final drink of the day. I drank it around 8:30pm and it took effect about 5 hours later at 1:30am. All in all I had a bit over a gallon of lemonade throughout the day and I was very happy with myself on that front. I had thought of doing the salt water flush but decided against it since it needs to be on an empty stomach.
One reason I thought of doing the SWF in the evenings is because Sergio and I leave the house pretty early for work and I was loath get out of bed at 6am to drink the salt water.
But alas, I got up at about that time today anyway and put some water in the tea pot to warm it up. I didn’t feel like drinking cold salt water that early in the morning. Plus it’s gotten really chilly. I heated the water up just enough to room temperature and added 1 TB of sea salt to 1 quart (32 oz or approximately 1 liter).
The taste was as I expected–pretty salty. But since I love salty foods, it was not really a big deal for me to ignore the taste and down the drink. It took me a few minutes to finish it at about 6:25am. I had to refer back to the page here that talks about the SWF. Mike does a great job of putting all the information together in a logical manner. That was helpful to refresh my memory on the process.
As far as the experience of the SWF flush; I had previously only read other people’s comments on it, so I was aware some crazy things might happen. But to the contrary, and like the rest of my experience on this cleanse – it’s been rather uneventful. I had my first flush about 40 minutes after I drank the water. I had laid on my right side in bed to maybe help the process as others have suggested. At about 7:05am I was ready to gooo…and the name SWF says it all. Literally, it was a flush of water–like I had a faucet attached to my butt–LOL! I didn’t experience any strange or painful gurgles or colics; it was just a “need to go” that if the bathroom wasn’t close by – it wouldn’t have waited for me to find one. So the advice on here to be close to the restroom is sound.
Ultimately, the liquid I flushed was neon yellow. I commented that to Sergio who laughed and said – “Yeah, lemon water.” I’m sure its not only that but whatever else was floating around in my bloodstream and gut for a long time. Food coloring comes to mind. Regardless of what that stuff was, I’m glad it’s out of me and I will continue to do the laxative tea in the evenings and SWF in the morning.
Lemonade Diet Day 2
Today at around 8am, I started off my day with a Salt Water Flush. OOhhh man it was way more harsh than I remembered it to be during my first time around. The saltiness was almost unbearable, halfway through i gagged.. but like the trooper I am I got my self together to go the distance and finish up the whole 32oz.
I’m really not sure if i can go through another SWF so soon tomorrow morning, but i’m going to try. I wonder if me having cold symptoms is making the drink taste 1000 times more salty. Usually when sick, even the mildest of things taste really salty. *shrugs*
Hope you guys had a better time with your SWF than I did today.
Cheers,
RaF
Hi Everyone! Happy Cleanse!
I’m on Lemonade Diet Day 2.
This morning I finished my SWF. It’s pretty tough; this morning detox. The night before starting my Lemonade Diet Day 1, I had my Laxative Tea (Chocolate flavor; soooo good) and then in the morning I was to have the SWF. The first time I did it, the water was cold to room temperature, and I decided to divide my L into 4 cups and chug them each until I finished the L; unfortunately I could only swallow 2 glasses before the gag reflex came in. I decided to go lay down, lay on my right side (suppose to help go though the intestines), and then took a nap for an hour. When that hour came, I had a movement.
So, last night again I took my laxative tea, and then this morning, I got ready with my SWF, this time with room temperature to warm water and divided my L into the four glasses to chug. I got again, two of the four glasses down. I did the same routine where I laid back down for an hour and then got up and moving to do things around the house. When that hour passed, I again had a movement.
I’m not sure if this will work for everyone, but it might be a shot. They say the SWF can eliminated if you drink the laxative tea, so for me already doing the laxative tea at night and then holding any of the SWF down in the morning is better than nothing at all.
Maybe worth a try for those of you having trouble with the SWF. Good luck! :)
Lemonade day 1
Im writing this from last night. Its not positive so if you are easily demotivated and dont want to be then dont read.
I did my first and last swf last night. I have never felt so ill and so stupid in my life, and ive done a lot of stupid things! I was so close to throwing it all back up i had to sit deadly still and not talk. I texted my boyfriend to say how i feel and on reading my message this morning it was gobbledygook!
I finally fell asleep, with really bad stabbing stomach pains and feel ok but so tired this morning. No movements at all. I couldnt face a laxative or even water last night i felt so bad! Luckily i didnt do this before work or id be taking an unpaid day offf, ill be missing my photography course this evening as im so tired. I wont be trying this again! I will continue with the lemonade and start with laxative tea tonight
