Homemade Body Flush
If you're looking for a quick way to flush your body of toxins and regain your health at home, try the Master Cleanse. The Master Cleanse (also known as "The Lemonade Diet") is an effective way of flushing out undigested food and other toxins from the body and it only takes 10 days. However, there is a price to pay. The Master Cleanse involves fasting; that is, while doing the Master Cleanse you cannot eat solid food of any kind. This is what makes this body flush somewhat difficult. If you have the willpower, the results will be worth it!

Prepare to become intimate with the toilet while performing this body flush. Flush your system. Every night at bedtime, take herbal laxatives or drink laxative tea; this will ensure that you have a bowel movement in the morning when you wake up. This is an important part of the Master Cleanse; bowel movements allow the body to get rid of toxins that clog up the intestine. Also, you may choose to perform a saltwater flush each morning. To do this, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of salt to a liter of water, then drink the liter as quickly as possible and wait for a bowel movement.

Maintain the Master Cleanse. After Day 3 (which is the hardest day for most people), your system will be much cleaner than when you started. As a result of this, you will find you do not crave food as much, and the Master Cleanse becomes easier for the remainder of the time.

Be careful of what you eat after ending the Master Cleanse. It is recommended that you eat only fruits and vegetables for the first day or two after the cleanse, allowing your body to get used to solid food again before eating starch foods or meat. You will find that you have decreased cravings for sugary or unhealthy foods, as your body is no longer addicted to them. Follow the urge to eat healthy. This will allow you to maintain the health gained by performing the body flush.

Tips & Warnings
After the Master Cleanse, you may find that you have lost 5-10 pounds. In order to lose more weight, you can drink less lemonade and more water while on the diet. It is recommended that you drink a minimum of 6 glasses of the lemonade each day.
Be very careful with body flushes; you could make yourself quite sick if you do not take care to let your body adjust from solid to liquid food and vice versa.
Also, exercise caution with laxatives. Beware any flatulence while on the Master Cleanse, as it is most likely a bowel movement. Be prepared to eliminate a lot of liquid with little or no solid matter.
Lastly, be careful with the saltwater flush. Drinking a liter of saltwater can make you gag and even throw up; if you find you can't handle the saltwater flush, use herbal laxatives instead.
