Eddie, Once should do the trick! It acts quickly and you will be amazed at the nastiness that exits your body! Think colonoscopy prep! That’s how powerful it is, so DO NOT do this when you have to go somewhere in the next few hours! I personally wouldn’t repeat this process more than once a month unless your practitioner recommends it.

Salt is not the problem many doctors over the decades made it out to be…before refrigeration, many foods were preserved in salt and people would have consumed 10 times what we consume today…sugar is the problem….read “the salt fix” by Cardiologist Dr James Dinicolantonio (great book, you can probably find it at your local library as well)

Hi, it doesn’t appear as though you did anything wrong. Everyone has lived and eaten various types of food. We all have different body types, blood types etc. However, stay the course of studies for better heath in these challenging times.

It was a good full movement but didn’t come cascading out, just slow and steady. Where do you think I went wrong? Also would like to know how often it is advised to do a salt water cleanse?

magnesium citrate helps a lot of people , it comes in a bottle of liquid, mostly water.
In fact, drinking lots of water, thin liquid like juice with extra water added, or coffee can also help get things moving.

I had this happen to me too and then I added half a teaspoon more salt the next time and that did the trick. My body apparently needs a little more salt for it to flush my system and go through my intestines instead of the liquid getting absorbed which is what happened initially (and yes definitely that was not fun-lolol). Try with a little more salt – might work for you too

Stirred and separated into 4 dosages. Consumed each dosage every 2 hours until complete. After the cleanse I was able to go to the toilet better so it definitely cleansed my bowels.
The only Issue is my left hip down to my glutes feels dried out. Cant walk. Every step I take is painful. feels like bone to bone. Is an excruciating pain. I played a game of tennis the day before but haven’t experienced this before. Any ideas as to what it could be and how i can rectify the issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for this great life hack. First off, please read the recipe before you mix your drink. I must’ve dreamed up that it was two tablespoons and discovered my error too late. For about an hour I walked the corridors, intermittently lying down to contemplate getting my affairs in order, thinking I had mistakenly received a glass of Jim Jones cool-aid. Then I could literally feel the Volkswagen Beetle slowly making its way through my intestines. I made a good choice when I decided to sit on the throne to welcome its arrival. As I backed the car out of the garage it was followed by the longest waterfall movement I’d ever experienced, I was so surprised I let out a loud “MY GOODNESS”. Then all is well!

The reason for the EXACT measurement and ratio of salt to water is to make sure the ionic charge of the flush is neutral enough to your bowel lining so that the salt water stays as a wash in the colon, and doesn’t much transverse the colon wall. This is one place that adjusting the recipe could be counter productive.

The white usually inexpensive sea salt has usually gone through some type of refinement, so I personally avoid it and have always used pink Himalayan sea salt. It’s very healing. This flush actually saved my father’s life when everything the medical system could offer him was failing.

Mix a high concentration of salt regular table salt if you don’t have pink or purified sea salt also known as Hawaiian salt, then just gargle with the mixture multiple times daily until the infection clears. I can tell you from personal experience it works, and you should see results by the second day at most, normally the end of the same day. You don’t swallow it just gargle and spit it out.

The best probiotic is milk kefir use it instead of the commercial ones. You do the flush first then wait until bedtime then take a cup or two of the milk kefir. After you take a break from the salt flush keep taking the milk kefir.

It’s very helpful, well-written and clear. I followed your instructions step-by-step and it worked great! Drinking the salt water is the hardest part of it but doing it first thing in the morning helped. The lemon juice helped with the overwhelming taste of salt water. But the relief that I felt after the purge was fantastic and well worth the effort. I will be doing the flush twice a month, if possible. Many thanks again!:)

This is so well explained. As I love how Dr Axe explains all of life’s needs to get and stay healthy, so is the way you have explained this importance to keep the intestines clean. I have been doing the Japanese water therapy first thing in the morning and then do the olive oil with ginger, lemon, cayenne and honey 30 min. after, for about 4 years now. I chew an inch and 1/2 of aloe vera. I appreciate all the education on natural living and health encouragement Dr Axe and you put out there for us all. God bless
