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?

EASE IN – DAY 2 – newbie
i started with the SWF and i ended up vomiting it up so should i repeat it or just try it again tomorrow? does anyone have any suggestions to get it down and stay down easier?
EASE OUT – DAY 2 – NEWBIE ->
Even with only doing one SWF during our Master Cleanse cycle, I have continued to eliminate 2-4times in the morning thanks to my herbal laxative tea… and needing to pee-like-a-race-horse after gulping alot of Lemonade… even with being overweight with health issues, I’ve been regular for elimination.. so I really did not know what to expect if our digestion is slowing down.. the day of SWF I was in the restroom alot that morning and glad I was home most of the day… I am still releasing mucus… the cayenne keeps cleaning out my nasal passages… today I had a sneezing fit about 15minutes after drinking the Lemonade… it was the only time I sneezed this cleanse… so something was releasing… I have always been a cayenne fan!… I put it in soups, and sprinkle it on potatoes.. I like heat and spice… but cayenne has never caused me to sneeze before, until today… Ease Out Day 2
Ease Out DAY 2 (Newbie) – I had a small BM today and I am not a happy camper. I will do the SWF tomorrow morning, very early. And I did not drink Smooth Move tea last night. I had an sweet orange herbal tea and that didn’t do the trick. So tonight I am definitely drinking my Smooth Move. As I mentioned my scalp never resolved. I have acne (I guess) on my scalp and my face broke out again two days ago. My tongue is still very sensitive…almost raw feeling. I still need to drink more water.
Ease Out DAY 1 (Newbie) – I had regular BMs today without doing the SWF this morning. I wasn’t sure if we are supposed to keep doing the SWF. It came after I had my second glass of OJ so that was pleasant to see I am still voiding pretty well. It certainly makes me feel better. I believe the blemishes I woke up with yesterday AM are from my body getting ready to have a period. I do that now that I am an adult and never did when I was a teen. Who knows what that is about (probably got a lot more yuck in my body now as an adult). I still have those blemishes. But I have noticed the pores on my nose look 40% better. Happy about that!
EASE OUT – DAY 1 – NEWBIE ->
Not noticing any physical body detox… except for feeling tired in the afternoon… was it because it’s my day off?… is it because I’m emotional?… or was it emotional detox encouraging sleep?… I’m not sure…
Has anyone every tried swiss kriss herbs? you do not swallow it… just chew on the herbs and then spit it out like a person who chews tobacco… its kinda gross, but those juices from the herbs really do something… I’m not using swiss kriss but I have it in my pantry all the time and might be my back up plan if I am desperate… but so far, not the situation… but for some reason this option is coming to mind
I have never even heard of swiss kriss herbs. hmmm?
Lemonade Diet DAY (Newbie) – Well even though I do not particularly like doing the SWF I cannot argue with the results. I have definitely learned a process to eliminate well, and quickly. I will use the SWF when needed at any time. Keeping a lot of purified/filtered water around is a good habit too that I am going to keep doing. It is so good for so many other reasons…like the longevity of coffee makers and steam mops, etc. But I’ve got my family drinking it too. This morning, after my SWF, my BM was still a fairly good amount and even though the color is not that brown it still had the same color as before – orangey brown. And still, I voided twice in the morning, fairly close together. And then a little more twice later in the day. Great. As I mentioned before, my scalp has still not resolved. My tongue is still very sensitive, kinda raw feeling.
LEMONADE DIET – DAY 10 – NEWBIE ->
I’ve been journaling some other things I’ve been noticing besides weight loss & inches reduction.
Benefits BEYOND the weight loss:
no sugar cravings, no salt cravings, increased energy, decreased depression/anxiety, decreased “fog feeling” in my brain that is like having a chronic hangover, increased creativity in all areas of my life, new friends and new insights and new knowledge, internet support system, new-found-internal support system, daily accountability by blogging, sleeping LESS much less, blood pressure decreasing (i was a scary 140/90 when we started and I had one reading that was 156/90 in December, but now my reading is a beautiful 120/76, no more crunchy crunch from my neck when I turn it, toximia/swelling in my feet completely gone, many little skin bumps (releasing thru skin) are gone and my skin is getting smooth, top of my head my hair feels silky smooth like brand new baby hair, and of course, as I keep letting you all know, the sinus cavity mucus release… which is maybe why I am even more sensitive to cigarette smoke and foul odors…
What benefits have you noticed with your body other than weight loss?
there is one more major benefit that is happening in my body… but I gotta muster up the courage to be publicly open about it…. it really takes a lot of courage to express many things on this blog… its a huge amount of vulnerability… so I will continue to ponder if I’m ready to share it yet… or just let you know that something else major, and wonderful, is happening INSIDE my body… our Lemonade is LIQUID GOLD… and it really is doing something amazing for me… the weight loss isn’t nearly as exciting for me, as this other internal benefit!
LEMONADE DIET – DAY 10 – NEWBIE ->
blogging early today b/c I work 8.45am – 10.15pm SOLID hours today… and the commute is 45min to 1hr to get there… and there is snow expected tonight 1″-4″ so it might take me 1.5+ hours to get home… so want to make sure my blogs entered on Day 10
Lemonade Diet DAY 9 (Newbie) – I had more problems today getting the SWF down than usual. But I can’t argue with the results. Halfway through drinking it down I remembered that I did not warm it. Warming it helps drink it. I am surprised of the amount and color of the elimination. Very soft but still some solid and still orangey brown in color. Never saw the “black” stuff. I still void twice in the AM. My middle toe on my right foot feels weird. Almost numb. I don’t know what is going on with that. I haven’t bumped it on anything. I had quite a bit of wax come out of my left ear and not my right. My head has hurt mildly all day today. I’m going to sleep with the vaporizer on because my family are all complaining of chest and head congestion. Even the dog is snorting and sneezing. I usually am right there with them with all the congestion and have not had any problems with congestion at all this entire cleansing.
Day 7 – Lemonade Diet
I am so tired of the SWF but I sure do feel relieved after I do the elimination part. My stool has been light brown and I have not had a solid stool since my first day of the Ease-In. I think that the SWF is an important part of the cleanse because if does flush your system out after you have had the lemonade all day to clean your insides and the SWF to wash it all out.
