Ever heard of a salt water detoxification? I always assumed salt was bad.

I have heard of it from my brother in law who is taking salt water for detoxification. He would mix epson salt, little extra virgin oil and water. I can imagine drinking salt water with oil. It must have tasted horrible. I have bought a packet of epson salt but is yet to try this out. Thanks for the links, before trying it would like to know in detail the aftermath of drinking this salt water.

You aren't consuming the salt water so that part wouldn't be *bad* I have read that doing colon cleanings can be bad because it messes with the naturally occurring flora in your digestive track.

I guess that's one way to get a cleansing! I think it's cleansing too if we eat lots of fruits and vegetables.. and a diet with whole grains and lo fats rather than white flour products and fatty meats.. To me a good fast is a morning with orange juice rather then breakfast! Or going to bed without supper..

hi evan hunter I asked my primary care doctor about this and he almost had a fit. no no no, he yelled dont to that. You are ruining the good bacteria that exist in your colon. and that salt will only make your high blood pressureeven higher. thus I am not going to jump on this foolish band wagon.Hesaid if I increase my fiber and drink more water, and eat plenty of fruits and veggies I will be p;lenty healthy withous these wild schermes.Salt is bad really bad. and so are these flushing things. talk to your medical doctor not to quacks.

LOL! Even worse than that? Wow. While I have not personally tried it, I do have a good friend that has, and she loves it, as well as a coworker who swears by it as a means to help with her allergy symptoms also. I would not personally do it, though, because I was recently diagnosed with having the early symptoms of Minear's Disease, which is a form of deafness. Some say Van Gogh had it, and that's why he cut off his ear. Anyway, according to my doctor's orders, I'm supposed to stay away from salt and caffeine as much as possible, which is very hard, but I really do try.
