Day one.
It started off with me trying to make the litre or so of salt water that I was supposed to drink. It reminded me again why I haven't been swimming in the ocean for several years now. Stuff is potent, I'll have to give it that, when it comes to evacuating bowels.
About half an hour to forty minutes after drinking the stuff, I dashed to the toilet, and then it felt like my large intestines seemed to empty themselves of all waste and anything mobile in my digestive tract. Flushing one's bowels indeed. I didn't think that it was physically possible for the body to actually turn the asshole into a garden hose. Towards the end of my 'bowel-flushing' it felt more like someone was playing with a tap connected to my asshole and whenever it would go off, it would feel like there was a geyser of liquid gushing out. Not a pretty image.
The drink was all right, although I'll have to be careful to wash the cayenne powder off my fingers before putting them anywhere near my eyes. Most of today I actually didn't really feel that hungry, despite the fact I was only drinking the lemon-syrup-cayenne concoction. Every so often, I'd have a glass or two, and that kept me nice and fuelled. I mostly felt cold, tired (almost nodding off at points), and had a slight headache. And ended up spending the day bumming around at home.
The upside of this is that I managed to get some stuff done that I had been meaning to get around to. I was secretary for the last toastmaster meeting, so I typed up the minutes, and then did the accounting homework that I had been waiting on all week to do but never could before.
I've been doing some thinking. I have made little progress on my book, despite the fact that by now on my timeline I should have been fleshing out the characters after filling out the history and the world. I'm spending too little time on it. This is supposed to be my focus for the year!
What I will do starting this week is definitely find a time to devote myself to writing for the book, so at least an hour a day. After a week, that's seven hours of work in. Seven hours is a lot of material. Two weeks is 14 hours. A helluva lot of material.

What the hell? Why did you drink hypertonic saline for? You experienced a simple physiological phenomenon of osmolytic diarrhoea.
Harsh "detox" remedies are the bygone days of Dr. Kellogg. The Western diet provides nutrients in bucketloads and all that is required is to reduce your cardiovascular risk factors.
