Ah, why do I get myself into these little experiments...Because they are fun to try out, of course! Latest one? The Salt Water Cleanse. Basically, you boil a little of water, add two teaspoons of non-iodized salt (already use it for my neti pot sessions), and "flavor" it with lime juice. Bottoms up!
First sip, hmmm ok, not too bad! Second sip, hey, whaaat, ggeeeeesh, sooo salty!!! And it all went downhill from there...between the gagging, the nose holding, chewing gum to offset the taste, I was getting mighty desperate.
Gargled with a little vodka thinking it would numb my tastebuds (ahhh eeek), still as vile of a mix...
Gahhhhh, gag, gahhhh, gaaaaaghhhhhhh...Ooo I am going to barf, I can just feel it, but wait, I thought it would cleanse the intestines/colon, not my stomach....Bllleeerghhhhh Just a little more, and I'm done. Then, the waiting game started...should be needing to glue my cheeks to the porcelain queen within an hour and a half. Ooo I hear lots of rumbling!!! Holy crap, really!
Hmmm nothing yet...Ahhh, my first "run", and yet, there's nothing spectacular about it...Maybe later? Nope.
Ok, "bottom" line...Should have followed the directions a bit better, like doing this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Did it cleanse me? Eh, no, not really. Did it taste good? Well, I think we all know the answer to that...Would I do it again? Maybe when I find a way to remove the salty taste from the elixir...Miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) anyone???
On the plus side, I think I'm nicely seasoned with salt.
