Making The Salt Water Laxative More Tolerable
May 20th, 2007 by Raylen
Here’s another question from a reader about the salt water flush.
“I’m on my third day of cleansing now. I bought your master cleanse book online and following it. I’m having a hard time doing the salt water laxative. I’m doing the herbal laxative and psyllium, but I read that salt water flushes are better. I am trying my best to drink it but I really can’t stand the salt water taste, especially with warm water and having to drink 25 ounces of it. It makes me want to throw up. I tried mixing it with 1/2 cup water instead and that i can tolerate and follow it with a lot of water afterwards. is that ok? Will that have the same effect?”
I have to admit that the salt water laxative is one of the least desirable parts of the master cleanse. I haven’t met anyone who actually enjoys the taste of the salt water laxative, but it really does do a fantastic job of increasing the frequency of your eliminations.
To make it easier to get down you can, as the reader above mentioned mix a small amount of salt water that you can get down in one or two gulps then follow it with a big glass of plain water.
Another tip that might help would be to mix the salt water laxative with cold water instead of warm water.


Where else can I find the books? Barnes and Noble?
I have all the info about the Master Clense diet and will be beginning it this weekend, however I have 2 medications I need to take. One , Synthroid, and Xanaz, for (panic attacks). witch I have once in a great while, but the .25mg. needs to be taken only 2 times a day. So Is this a safe thing to be clensing my body and is this going to have a big impact to me? Some body tell me soon if you can help. 05/29/07….
I have a question about the salt water flush. Would it be ok to add a little cayenne pepper in it? Just plain salt water is harsh tasting. I’m thinking the cayenne pepper would have a broth-like flavor. Making it a little more bareable. Any thoughts?
WHERE DOES ALL THE SODIUM FROM THE SALT WATER GO? DOES USING MORE CAYENNE PEPPER HELP YOU LOSE FASTER AND WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE CAYENNE PEPPER. wHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRADE A AND GRADE B SYRUP AND DOES IT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

This questions is really a yucky one, I’m sorry. This is my 2nd day. The night before I did the laxative tea (Smooth Move) and this morning I did the salt water laxative. All I’ve had since yesterday is diarrhea. It’s really bad. Should I cut back on the laxatives? Can you suggest something?
Thanks.
How much of the sea salt laxative is one to consume? I know the mix is 1 tsp. to 25-35oz. of water, but do you have to drink the whole mixture in one sitting? Or can one drink less (8-16oz.)
I initially found the salt water flush difficult and decided to add a little cayenne pepper to it. Surprisingly enough it tastes like a broth and late enough in the night is (i feel like i’ll be judged)as enjoyable as any laxative can be. No matter what it’ll get your guts rumblin’
I tried the salt water flush yesterday and nothing happend. . I added 2 teaspoons of salt to 1 quart of warm water and just sat around waiting. I’m sure all the salt got absorbed into my system. what is the meaning of this!!?
Hi Bridgette. Did you use regular table salt? If so, that’s the problem. You have to use NON iodized salt. Sea salt is the best. It will have the same effect as if you had been swimming in the ocean and swallowed a bunch of the water. I know because I did this often in my teens and early twenties when I spent nearly every day at the beach
Good luck to you.
Hey There I like to know whats the deal with a Or b MAPLE Syrup!!!!!??? I have been on it 2 week and I have lost 4 pounds Wow Huh I should have lost more But It’s my fault I kind of cheated I had crackers Oops
What foods can I eat, when I’m on this diet, I have to take blood pressure medication, or can I take it safely without food.
I’m at day 6 with my master cleanse, but I find that I am not producing daily bowl movements and very little urination, with no big desire to drink a lot of water, but I have been losing weight, feeling light and energetic. Also hungry. So, is the sea salt good to use in order to help me with the bowel movement? A respond is needed. Thanks.
