NO ONE loves to do the SWF. It IS the grossest experience on the planet (well, maybe in the top ten).

BUT nothing does a top to bottom flush of your entire digestive system like... you guessed it! The good old SWF!

As a long time faster I have learned to tolerate the sucker. I NEVER like it! My tricks are to take it quite warm, like tea temp. I tell myself it is broth (I never believe it). I chug it coffee mug at a time, and follow each cup with a swallow of cold plain water. I rinse my mouth afterwards.

It takes practice, but you can learn... to tolerate it. It does WORK!

The tea twice a day is not a substitute. Try to do the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) at least every couple of days. If you just cannot, do an enema instead. You definitely need to keep the colon clear of debris every day you fast!

I use Redmond's Real Salt and it makes all the difference in the world - very mild taste, very effective.

Celtic Sea Salt makes all of the difference for me in the SWF. I could barely tolerate the garden variety Sea Salt ....try it, you may find it works for you. Even though it is unpleasant, I think it is the most necessary part of the program! Good luck!

try celtic Sea Salt , it makes all the difference in the world! the method i use to get the salt water down, is childish, but helpful. i pretend i'm drinking some type of broth, chicken, vggie, whatever works. i have found the tea to be most effective at night. it gives the senna a good amount of time to loosen things up for the swf.

lol, wow, so many people don't like it. I don't mind the salt water. When I do the liver cleanse, the Epsom Salt is terrible. I can hardly get that down.

i totally hate it too!

in the book it states that you can use the teas instead.
i feel that one here and there would be good. but no way could i do it everyday.
laying on your right side after drinking the salt water helps get it out faster and cuts the pukey feeling.
celtic grey Sea Salt is also recommended
