Well, for some people the salt flush just doesn't work. I followed the Master-Cleanse plan religiously and the salt flush didn't flush me...I only got bloated from the salt and extra water content. I drank laxitive tea and that only gave me cramps. I drank extra water and all I got was more plugged up. On the third day of not going, I stopped doing the salt flush and did an enema and suddenly felt better. After that I went back to laxitive teas but kept doing the enemas and had no more problems. I even started to have a second bowel movement later in the evening without the enema. I kept the enema simple..just luke warm distilled water. I would never have done a coffee enema as that is too intrusive.
