Some people have wonderful success with it. I tried it once and afterward felt like I had been sucked into a cold ocean undertow -- it didn't even phase me.

I've treid it a couple times also. And I retained water both times. It's not for me!

hey, Sea Salt water is great to cleanse the entire intestine and it is safe. Yes you do get diarrhea. I have tried it so many times and it works. For some people it might not work because they must have not added enough salt or drank enough of the mix. You drink it first think in the morning and within 2hrs you would have to eliminate(several eliminations). I also lost a lot of weight by just doing it for seven days straight, also when you do it for that long it brings your stomach to a newborn stage and you have to be careful what you eat after.

It is very difficult to find any health professional (mainstream or alternative) to recommend the Salt Water Flush, but it does have its advocates and opponents, and whatever merits it has as part of the Master-Cleanse detox protocol, it is most definitely not to be recommended whilst water-fasting but more of a preliminary measure to cleanse the entire digestive tract from top to bottom! (something that enemas and colonics only do partially).
I do not agree with it personally, but one member here on curezone, who I have a lot of respect for does..............

hi Bella, I've also found it to be wonderful. Ayurvedic practitioners have been using it for centuries. But it's best combined with good diet, cleansing activities, and not recommended as a method to purge the system from junk. The important thing is that you don't have anything before doing it: it's first thing in the morning. Reasons people have trouble with it, i believe: they may be chronically dehydrated;
may have been drinking *too much water*, OR are severely minerally-depleted--in which case they absorb the minerals in the Sea Salt , or retain the whole solution.

I used it on day one of my 29 day water fast. It feels like a great beginning.
Three times throughout the fast, about evenly spaced, I had bowel movements spontaneously, without anything. I think the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) was good preparation for an unobstructed colon. It's a pretty interesting experience--a real flush. I find it quite energizing. All the liquid comes whooshing out--assuming there are not contraindications: one of these, i would imagine, might be obesity--which is a complex set of imbalances, where one might well notice nothing.

if it "doesn't work", that's a sign of some imbalance that needs addressing, as I already mentioned. The reason it's so good with the master cleanse, is that the body is daily being cleansed. It wouldn't ever be (responsibly) advised to do except as part of a real cleansing diet, and in the Ayurvedic tradition, probably for not longer than ten- or at most 21 days--followed up by some sound eating, and repopulating of the gut with probiotics (which we probably need to do as well after the water cleanse).


best,
Chiron
