Re: Gweneth Paltrow's detox diet and recipes

2 t. uniodized sea salt and 32 oz of water IS a swf, precisely! Did you get my post about Fasting Basics? There is a far simpler way to get the stuff down.

I still do not recommend you do a swf if you are congested. You MUST remove the congestion! By far the simplest way to do it is with a plain, warm water enema, the same water you would drink. If you are seven days into a fast and still not "clearing your colon" you obviously need the big guns!

Once you have done an enema, drink a cup of strong herbal LAXATIVE tea, not detox tea (you can drink this during the day but for colon cleansing you need a product like the ever popular Smooth Move) at night and again in the morning.

Avoid flax if you are fasting; the object is to relieve your body of the task of digestion and allow it to clean house, which it does amazingly well!

I have done a lot of fasting; at one point I did 60 days on Master Cleanser, switching to fresh juices on day 45. I did this specifically for the purposes of colon cleansing (it took me four years of hard work to achieve my goal). I did my long fasts under the supervision of my excellent naturopath, and learned much. If I can help you with your efforts, please don't hesitate to let me know!
