Stacy -
I'm on day 3 as well - first time, so I'm in no way an authority on this, but I can tell you about me.

In the morning, I make the saltwater in a big jar and get out the lemons I'll use during the day. After squeezing each half of lemon, I take as many big gulps of the SW as I can (I try not to breathe, and I think about it as soup!), then get to the next lemon half-this morning I did 5 whole. This all takes just about 20 minutes or less - the water stays hot the whole time. I think that's why the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) has been working for me - fast intake of the saltwater (I assume they call it a "flush" because the water is supposed to come very fast in the large quantity).

I'd be worried about all that salt coming in, but not flushing right back out. I hope it's not being absorbed! Are you peeing more frequently?

Anyway - hope this helps!
Best of luck!

Stacy,

I did my SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) for the first time last night. I am now starting day 3. Well, I used 2 TSP of Sea Salt combined with a quart of warm water. I think I drank it down in about 5 to 10 minutes. At first, I thought I was going to vomit! I had to go lay down. I was sooo miserable for the first half hour. I began to feel better but I had this sensation that I had to go to the bathroom. WHen I went, it was yellow and runny. I guess that is what it is supposed to look like. It was really gentle. I didn't get any stomach cramps or anything. I felt great afterwards. I bet the key is drinking the drink relatively fast. I tried to act like it was broth but that didn't work. It just is plain disgusting but the benefits are worth it. I plan on doing one every night. Also, I am the type that doesn't use the bathroom a lot. I can go days with out a BM but that flush worked within the hour. I honestly didn't think it would take effect. The book says 2 TSP not TBS so you may be putting in too much salt. Just thought I would stick in my 2 cents.

Later!
