Just started the Master-Cleanse for the first time. Read the book and the part I dreaded was the SWF. I took laxatives last night. I had to take a lot because they normally don't work for me at all (long story). Was hoping this cleanse would help get me back to a normal and healthy state.
So this morning I finally had a bowel movement around 3:30am. Afterwards I decided to finally take the SWF. I drank a quart of lukewarm water and 2 tsp Sea Salt . Disgusting to say the least, but was looking forward to the effects. Barely anything... Around 6am I finally went to the bathroom but it was just a teeny bit of mucus.
I have been constipated ever since. I started my period today and have horrible cramps from that as well. Please tell me what to do, I would appreciate any advice. Am I stopped up? Why would I be? I am on the verge of passing out and am scared because I am all alone here.
Thank you for anyone's help and advice. I do'nt want to die. and I am scared.- Re: SWF and constipation -- I am afr... nickatnight

It's ok, you have nothing to be scared of. One thing you need to make sure of is the amount of water you are drinking. It should be 1/2 your body weight in ounces. So if you weigh 120lbs, it should be 60 oz. of water daily. That is in addition to the salt water flush (SWF) and the lemonade and LAX tea.
Make sure you use lukewarm water with the SWF, it tastes better that way and convince yourself that it tastes good and it just might...
Right now, it sounds like a good time for you to drink some water or some peppermint tea and take a nice warm bath and relax. You are doing fine.
take care

This is a reply to # 808,432Like Nick mentions it's really importamt to drink lots of water to make sure you are hydrated nad your body will try to retain all fluids including the SWF. One of the requierments to do any kind of fasting is that you are having at least one bowel movement a day before starting any fast.
You've already started so try drinking a buncha water in addition to the lemonade and tea. Next morning when you wake up drink 16 oz of water just to make sure your system starts out hydrated specially if you live in colder climate and you are in a heated enviroment that draws the moisture from the air, Wait a half and o hour to let the body absorb the water then do the SWF. If an hour later you haven't had a bowel movement most likely butt pee then down quart of plain water. I would just down the extra quart anyways .If you still arent having any susbtantial movement by 3 hrs later the you need to do an enema.
For most folks I don't mention the enema on the first go but you already sound desperate and likely thatform what you say you are already laxative depepndant. To be honest in your frame of mind I would say that you need to address your bowel issues first and get that under control. Most folks around here swear by Oxypowder so why don't you start investigating that and consider stoping the MC to do a round of OXY till you get you bowels moving. then try the MC at a later date.

Is Oxypowder the same as Oxyflush -- or at least similar? Oxyflush is what I have been using (from oxygen america --
http://www.oxygenamerica.com)
then I recently started trying Peter Gilham's Natural Calm Vitality (http://www.livingnutritionals.com/index.php?cPath=116&gclid=CJea7v-o2IkCFQgNSAodzkR14w)
Do those do the same things? I have been using those products for probably at least 9 months instead of laxatives.
Thanks for your help, I had a horrible night!! But I am still alive and my cramps are less.
Before I started The Master Cleanse I was having about 3 BM a day... I was taking a lot of fiber supplements, along with the magnesium powder listed above... I thought I was doing ok until I did the SWF! Thanks for your help both of you.- Re: SWF and constipation -- I am afr... Zoebess

MoreThis is a reply to # 808,484If you were doing all those things and retained the
SWF then, like Pepe said, you were dehydrated coming
into the cleanse. It is paramount that you put out
the amount of water for the day you need to drink
and then get sipping. Chugging is not as beneficial
as keeping up a constant intake.
Also, you might make sure your salt is UNiodized Seasalt .
Redmonds, RealSalt, Himalayan, and Celtic seem to be
popular choices for SWFing. Hains seems to give many
people problems as it is more refined. Different salts
taste better too.
Here is a link to more info on the need for water~~
//www.curezone.org/foods/watercure.asp
Also, make sure you use a measuring spoon to
measure out your salt...2 teaspoons and 1 quart of
water. You can warm the water so it will dissolve
the salt better. I like to put the salt and water
together so by morning it is totally in solution
and ready to drink. If you measure then you can add
or lessen the amount of salt needed. Noah needs 3
teaspoons of salt, so you can see different amounts
work for different people. Add or subtract 1/4th
teaspoon at a time.
Hopefully these tips and the ones Nick & Pepe offered
will help. If not, you may need to focus on bowel
cleansing like Pepe suggested.
I wish you well~~
be happy, be well,

If you eat regular foods, instead of during the MC, can you still do the SWF? Like if I ate a salad and baked potatoe for dinner the night before, can I still do the flush in the morning? I know it is supposed to be done on an empty stomach, but does that mean empty intestines too? I am going to hold off on finishing the Master-Cleanse until I feel more stable. But can I do the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) still?
I did 1 quart lukewarm water and 2 tsp of a special sea-salt from Trader Joes. I do believe it had Iodide in it, but I think it was all natural. It cost less than $5 for a big can of it.
What about doing an Epsom Salt drink, the kind that Dr. Clark explains for a liver flush? is that better, the same, worse, or just suits a different purpose? I have tried that before and I didn't get the "butt pee" that people on the forums so fondly talk about. And it took me over 12 hours to go to the bathroom.- Re: SWF and constipation -- I am afr...

This is a reply to # 808,565No...IODIZED salt is a big no-no...not good.
Also, SWFing is appropriate when fasting but
not appropriate when eating. Most importantly
it washes out everything and since we work
very hard to build and maintain a good gut
flora, when eating, we do not want to wash
it out. Lack of good gut flora makes room
for candida, free radicals etc to take over
and you do not want this.
If you have constipation, use a good bowel
cleansing program to get your body back into
balance and on track.
Depending on laxatives will also inhibit
your peristalsis movement in your body~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristalsis
This will cause more problems down the line
so best not to back yourself into any
corners or develop an eating disorder...
Get some good salt and drink plenty of
water to get the iodized stuff out of
your system....
be happy, be well,

Take a deep breath and chill out. You are all over the place grasping at this and that and second guessing all kindsa stuff. I would say you need to get your mental affairs in order first. Just stop everything and just calm down just start eating a reasonable diet of mostly raw foods. Cut out the SUGAR and FLOUR PRODUCTS supplement with a good multi vitamin and some healthy fats like Hemp oil and get yourself to the gym NOW!! and start exercising.
EXERCISE is the key to burn out all this scattered unfocused crap your are going through. THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES. Once you stabalize mentally then you can calmly approach cleansing in a rational intelligent manner. Doing the SWF is not a regular every day thing that anyone should be doing while eating normal. Eating a healthy diet and exrcising IS.
