Salt Water Flush

You have to use sea salt- as raw as it comes. You also have to use the proper amount of water (1 liter).The entire liter of sea salt water will will go right through you because the solution is indigestible. It just comes right out of you because the mixture has the same gravity as your blood and is not absorbed. You also have to do it on an empty belly. Warning: Not fun. Don't do it if you have plans for the next few hours...

i have friends who practice at the oriental academy of medicine where i live. they said you need to use sea salt.

Sea Salt

Sea salt is the unrefined salt that is obtained by simply evaporating the water from the seas or oceans. Sea water is channeled into man-made pools along protected shores, and is then left under the Sun till all the water gets evaporated. What is left behind in the pools is sea salt. Sea salt is 98% sodium chloride, while the remaining 2% is made of other important minerals like iron, sulfur, magnesium and other trace elements. Due to higher mineral content, sea salts are more flavored than table salt.

Table Salt

The common table salt is 99.9% sodium chloride. It is obtained from the terrestrial salt deposits which are mined, heat-blasted and chemically treated. Due to these processes, table salt is stripped of all minerals other than sodium and chloride. Some anti-caking agents are added to table salt to make it free flowing. Although, initially table salt which had just sodium and chlorine as the only minerals was consumed by people, later on, salt manufacturers started adding iodine to it to prevent people from suffering from iodine deficiency diseases.

Table Salt Vs. Sea Salt

Besides the difference in the manufacturing process, sea salt and table salt differ in the following ways:
While sodium and chlorine are the only minerals contained in table salt, sea salt has other minerals like iron, sulfur and magnesium naturally present in them. This increases the nutritive value of sea salt as compared to table salt. The various minerals present in sea salt helps us to maintain a healthy balance of the various electrolytes in the body.
The refining process of table salt strips it of all of its minerals, other than sodium and chloride. This makes it an unnatural substance as compared to sea salt, and contributes to high blood pressure, heart and kidney diseases. On the other hand, health benefits of sea salt include, inducing proper sleep, promoting efficient working of the liver, kidneys and the adrenal glands. Sea salts also boost the immune system of the body and don't cause high blood pressure like refined table salt.
Although, due to the higher mineral content, sea salt may be considered to be a healthier choice than table salt, it has its own drawbacks. One major disadvantage of sea salt is that it is a poor source of iodine. The iodine that is added during the refining process of table salt makes it a better source of iodine than sea salt, altho you can buy iodized sea salt.

hope this gives you an idea of why they recommend it for the cleanse.

I haven't personally researched the "salt water flush"...BUT, I do know that sodium and potassium are two IMPORTANT electrolytes that play a majpr role in muscle contraction...all muscle including the heart. If your flush results in flushing out these electrolytes to the point that they are out of balance, you could end up with muscle cramps...or to the extreme...an irregular heart rhythm. Be very careful.

i hv done it with regular salt...... take luke warm water in a glass add add table salt and gulp it down quick.... drink as many glasses as you can at a decently fast pace till you cant take another sip..... be sure to be right at the loo door, as it will come back out instantly !!

I know this is old but are you guys okay mentally?? You do realize were on the internet correct? You are asking questions on something that's one google search away from an answer....??

NM, random necros. Grrr

Your colon is perfectly able to 'flush' itself, if you are healthy. Just drink enough regular water and eat your veggies (for fiber) and move enough to stay regular.

people, this thread is 4 years old. Someone posted their first and only post to lambast the long-gone OP for not googling.
