I am plannig this summar to do something called master cleanse. It actually consists of lemon and maple syrup mixed in water. You drink only this for a few days. It helps to flush toxins out of the body and you also lose some weight.

I have read in detail about MC and like the idea. However, my concern is the Salt water flush part. You have to put 2 teaspoon of sea salt in warm water and drink it before anything in the morning. It will soften the stool and you will have to visit the loo several times a day.

Just wondering if it will increase the fissure pain?

I would talk to your doctor about doing this, especially if you have an open fissure. Your body needs nutrients and energy to heal, so in my opinion, a drastic cleanse is not a good idea. Best of luck!

Jdirect. You might want to read this article on NPR. The medical profession describes flushing out toxins as 'a load of baloney'. Personally, I would never recommend flushes and cleanses. Drink a suitable amount of water and eat sensibly. You do not want to reduce the nutrients in your body.
