Besides hunger the biggest compliant I hear about the Master Cleanse is the salt water flush. Here’s just one of the many comments I get about the salt water flush daily:
yikes, I am a caffeine addict for sure, but I am contemplating doing the Lemonade Diet, my husband does it for 10-14 days from time to time, and I am scared of the headaches. I aim to do this cleanse while working 9 days straight rather than be at home cooking for kids etc…is the salt water flush absolutely a must? I commute and would hate to have to pull onto side of road to *flush*….
Yes the salt water flush tastes bad. And yes, it will make you have to go to the bathroom at the drop of a hat. That said it works like a charm when it comes to flushing out waste from your body. Is it “a must”? That really depends on you and if you want the maximum detoxing benefits from the master cleanse. You could do the master cleanse with just plain filtered water and lemonade and get some good results, but for the best results you’ll need to do the salt water flush.

I have a question. how long do you have to be on the Master Cleanse before you do the Sea Salt Cleanse and do you reallly have to drink so much water. When doing the sea saltdo I do the lemonade two or just the sea salt I mean that is a gallon of water itself. I would love to buy your books but I cant afford to pay attention right now so can you help me with some advice here.
I have a question. When I do a saltwater flush the effects last for 2 days. Everything I put in my stomache (even water) causes another round. What in the heck is up with that?
I take blood pressure medicine…do I continue to take it while on the MC? Also, I worry about taking in so much salt with the flush. I have some wonderful Senna tea that works like a charm. Is it ok to skip the salt water and will I still lose weight?
I would talk to your doctor before even attempting this on Blood Pressure medicine! Better safe then sorry. Some people actually do use the Herbal laxative teas instead but keep in mind the reason the salt water is recommended is because it actually does flush and rinse out your intestines and colon, it is not just to make you poop. And that is important on this fast, getting rid of the toxins that build up is your #1 goal!
i have a question… can i just do the salt water flush and not drink the lemon and maple syrup drink and still lose weight or do i have to do everything?
i’m about to get started on doin the master cleanse for ten day,
but i’m still confused on the whole sea salt subject. so far i know i’m suppose to use non-iodide sea salt every morning before drinking the master cleanser. how much sea salt do i need to drink everyday and how much water do I add to it?
