Joan, I'm with you on the salt water flush! I just tried it this morning and I was heaving by the time I got it all down. I have been drinking 2 glasses of warm water first thing in the morning to get my bowels moving little or no results so thought I'd check this out. It was absolutely horrible. I don't usually gag that easily. This one ranks right up there with the lemon juice/olive oil drink. I haven't been able to keep that down either. (I do the grapefruit juice). I didn't heave it all up though so within the hour I was definitely flushing!!! However, that seemed to be only from the bowels - I think I prefer taking a small dose of Epsom Salts at night better!
