I washed a fresh lemon and squeezed 1/2 of the lemon into the epson salt mixture. Cut up the other 1/2 of the lemon into sections. Hold your nose and drink 1/2 a dose and suck on the lemon and then do the same with the other 1/2. I felt extreme nausea from the epson salts, but no gag reflex at all. I'm pretty spinelss and gag when I smell the garbage so if this works for me it should work for anyone. Truthfully I didn't think I'd make it through the cleanse because of my inability to swallow anything foul tasting without gagging. As for the red grapefruit and extra light olive oil, I held my nose and drank it followed by sucking on a lemon section. I also put about 1/8 cup of the red grapefruit juice to the side and drank that after I sucked on the lemon. I made it through and so can you. The results you see in the morning are so worth it! Best of luck and let us know how it turns out for you.
