    100% pure pseudo-scientific quackery. You do not accumulate fecal matter stuck to the sides of your intestine unless you are suffering from a medical condition that causes impaction.

    I personally think all the "cleansing" is a big hype.

    Just eat right, exercise and drink plenty of good old fashion water.

    You'll feel great after a day or two.

    Yes, I did it as part of the Master Cleanse (the maple syrup/lemonade), and one word of caution. Just when you think it has all passed and you can relax, you can't. Major leakage can happen with squatting to pick something up, coughing, sneezing, etc. Embarrassing if you have to be with people. I was alone - thank goodness!

    Becoming healthy (this includes your digestive system), is really not a matter of cleanses or "diets" or secret tricks.
    Eat healthy. Work out.
    Your body is quite a fine tuned system when one takes care of it.

    Ditch the cleanse :) Best of luck.

    That souds like something out of the master cleanse which I have tried and it's crazy... if u follow my fitness plan based on how you would like to lose weight it will work. You will stall and need to re look how your eating and exercising but this is a great site. Days will get hard and you may eat something you should or eat out of control. Log everything you put in your mouth. Keep ur diary open, look at what others are eating, get out and move. This is a life style change. You can have some of the same things you were eating just in moderation. Drink plenty of water. What works for him/her may not work for you and that's okay. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

    Drinking salt water is what they had my best friend in elementary school do in order to induce vomiting after she ate raw chicken and couldn't get herself to puke using the old "finger down the throat" method.

    If you really want to clean out, try what they give you before a colonoscopy. It is a combination of dulcolax and miralax. I would honestly check with a doctor, first, though. I had my second colonoscopy last December, and ever since then, my "habits" have changed, and I needed to use colace to be able to go. So be very careful what you do.
    Remember, it is normal to have "stuff" built up inside of you, so even if you cleanse now, it will build back up, so that is not a normal way to lose weight.

    YUCKY! that stuff made me want to die! I had to call the drs office and tell them there was no way I could drink that crap without something to mask the taste. I had to mix it with crystal light and still had problems choking it down. Nothing like being stuck in the bathroom (because after just a couple sips it goes to work immediately) with a drink in your hand with a straw ( so u can try to avoid ggetting the taste on your tongue) and gagging every sip u take. To this day I still can't drink that flavor of crystal light because it gives me flashbacks!!!!

    I've tried this. Wasn't too bad, don't use two tablespoons of salt you'll kill yourself. Use two small teaspoons, mineral water (not distilled). Don't use iodised tablesalt, or rock salt that's been nickel screened. Try pink salts.

    It's fine, it works. Just don't be too far from a toilet.

    Ive tried this. Only recommend you do it once a month. Important you use non-iodized (it doesnt absorb into the body) sea salt, 1 Tbs for 32 ounces of purified water, not tap water. Make sure the water is warm. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Try and drink the water as fast as you can and then lay down on your right side for 30 minutes. This directs the water straight to the intestine and prevents it from being trapped in your stomach. After 30 minutes, start drinking regular water and dont stray too far from the restroom. Good Luck.
