  You may be drinking too much water. You may be flushing out your minerals and that's not good. I think you should see your doctor.

  I'd not recommend drinking lemon and salt at all. It's completely counter-productive. Lemon juice helps manage sodium levels, thus reduce swelling and edema caused by too much sodium. Adding salt (sodium) to your lemon drink renders it pretty useless and could be dangerous for you. Drinking sea water is lethal. Excess salt is never good. I'd never recommend a patient do a salt water flush.

  The coffee won't hurt anything, nor will any other food, though if you eat a lot of salt it will just make the lemon work harder in that the lemon juice helps remove water retention and salt adds to water retention. Does that make sense? On the upside, if you eat a big bag of popcorn at the movies, drinking this the next day will help remove the salt effects of the movie popcorn! Also helps with monthly bloat. It's very good for cleansing your system. I use it all the time. I also drink coffee - and eat popcorn! :D

  We recommend the juice of one lemon per 8-10 oz of water and to sweeten with a liquid stevia product such as Sweet Leaf, which comes in flavors. We prefer vanilla, orange or lemon. I prefer orange! Best price is at Vitacost - about half the price of local nutritional stores. As to frequency, once or twice a day is good and use a straw to direct it to the back of your throat to keep it off your teeth. Rinse your teeth/mouth with plain water afterwards and don't brush for an hour so you don't etch your enamel. Lemon juice is hard on enamel but not a problem if you follow those instructions.
