Way to go, Melissa!
I didn't drink the salt water every day either, but did an enema flush every other day. Read my earlier post.
I didn't feel dehydrated because I drank 3 quarts of lemonade every day, along with water, a cup of V8 juice in which I mixed the cayenne, and a few mouthfuls of applejuice every now and then. I used less maple syrup as the fast went along, and read that if you are overweight or diabetic, less maple syrup is a good idea.
I ended the Master Cleanse with a Liver Flush (see earlier post) which resulted in some complications for me.
I had malaria repeatedly 10 years ago, and apparently my liver was packed full of stones. The Master Cleanse/Lemonade Diet got everything knocked loose and ready to come out (which is good) but when I did the Liver Flush, I had TOO MANY stones, and too much sludge. I passed most of it, but apparently the ducts and tubes were still full of the remainder when I broke my fast at the end of the next day. The remaining stones/sludge got stuck in the biliary tubes of my liver.
My liver got inflamed and distended and the pain was horrendous. If I had just continued the Lemonade Diet for a few days AFTER doing the Liver Flush, I would have been okay, as the stuff may have been able to continuing trickling on down.
I don't think many people would experience this complication, however, I would advise doing a Liver Flush BEFORE the Master Cleanse. I've read elsewhere that fasting "causes" stones to form in your liver. What that actually means is that during fasting your body is sending toxins to your liver to be desposed of, and your liver will dispose of them in time - but trying to get rid of them all at once while doing a fast which has the liver VERY busy anyway... well, it may not be a good idea.
So my recommendation is: Do a Liver Flush. Two weeks later do 2nd Liver Flush. 1 week later begin Master Cleanse. End with 3rd Liver Flush. Two weeks later do 4th Liver Flush.
I believe the above regimen would be optimal for a total clean-out while protecting your organs from too much stress.
