Lex, so it does have an influence on the water/salt balance of the body? What are your thoughts about doing this every day?
I have been having about 6 days of dire eyer; raw meat and fat just kept on going threw me and it made me sick to eat. My father said it's the raw meat I am eating, I thought it may be because I never add salt and things did not get digested. This salt water is what I thought might help
I have no idea to what extent any salt is absorbed, but I'm guessing not a whole lot as fluid is being pulled from the tissues into the intestines in an effort to dilute the concentration of salt so most would be expelled.
Doing this every day for a few days shouldn't cause too much of a problem as long as you drink enough water to replenish what your body lost from this process or you run the risk of dehydration. I certainly wouldn't do it for more than a week or so at a time. I certainly wouldn't want my body to become dependent on this.
Even though I've done this several times in years past, I tend to agree with Andrew, forget the cleanse nonsense and eat paleo friendly foods, add salt to your meals when you feel for it, drink water when you are thirsty, and relax and get some sun exposure every day. I now only do a flush like this every few years when my doctor schedules me for a colonoscopy - and then it is required as part of the procedure.
Remember, my days of looking for perfection are over. I'm now interested in simplifying my life and concentrating on doing what actually works - not what some guru proclaims as the Holy Grail.
