Drug Testing - The Definitive Guide
HOW TO “CLEAR” YOUR SYSTEM
THC is fat soluble, and it gets stored in your fat cells. Cleaning it out body is not difficult, it just takes time. Many different products sold in head shops, health food stores and over the internet claim to clean out your system, yet they do nothing to remove THC byproducts from fat cells. Think about it for a minute. If one product could effectively clean all toxins from your body, wouldn’t that put an end to viruses, poisonings and cancers? You could just drink one bottle of the “Detox Solution, pill or paste” and you could live in a moldy house with no ill effects. How would anyone ever die of lead poisoning again is we had this miracle product that actually worked as it is advertised? Unfortunately, enough of you are still purchasing this snake oil to make it profitable for the people ripping you off. They will continue to sell as long as gullible people continue to buy. If you look closely at the “guarantee”, usually it says you must submit drug test results in writing. Well, if an employer paid for the test and received the results, you don’t have them to submit. Also, since it is illegal in most states to purchase or sell any product designed to “beat” or “fool” a legal drug test, the manufacturers advertise these products as a way to defeat a nicotine test. Well, if you submit a failed illegal substances test, they will not honor the guarantee because the product is advertised to mask nicotine use – not illegal drug use. Look at the ingredients before you buy. You will find that they are mostly sugar, water, vitamins and creatine. You can get those ingredients at your grocery store for a lot less than the $50 - $100 you will pay for a fancy label and a bottle of sugar water.
There are plenty of brand names out there and also herbal remedies passed down through years and years of rumor. One problem with most of these folk remedies and detoxification products is that the results are too unreliable. They might work for Joe, but Jane tries the same thing that Joe did and is disappointed to learn she has failed miserably. Another problem is that these rumors have been passed through so many mouths that the original story is unrecognizable. Does this sound somewhat familiar?:
“My buddy’s girlfriend’s best friend’s second cousin’s husband’s brother passed his drug test using Goldenseal. He took it the very morning of his test, then he smoked pot in the car on the way to the testing facility, hell, the drug tester held his pipe for him and he still passed! (yea, right)
Remember; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. There is a reason drug testing has lasted as long as it has. Because it works. It is damn hard to beat. There is no one sure fire method for beating a drug test other than complete abstinence.
I know what you are thinking: What about Certo? What about Vale? I heard that green tea works wonders for a drug test! I heard that if you drank 16 ounces of concentrated cranberry juice for 7 days straight, it would cleanse your lever and kidneys of THC.
If those methods worked reliably, wouldn’t you think that the secret would be out by now? Laboratories would develop a way to overcome any product you could take to hide or mask your drug use. There is nothing that is proven to be 100% effective in “cleaning” THC from the body. Use your common sense. The evidence of pot is in your body. Only time and exercise can remove it. Mostly time, but exercise helps.
Excessive fluid intake
Flooding your body with fluids will create more fluid in the urine making the ratio of THC in the urine fall below the cutoff level of most drug tests (50 ng/mL) Drinking water or cranberry juice days before a drug test does nothing but overwork your kidneys and raise your water bill die to excessive flushing. Remember, you cannot “wash away” THC from your body. It must be burned out of the fat cells via aerobic exercise raising the metabolism. If you want to dilute your urine to try to get the level of THC below the given cutoff level, it is only necessary to drink fluids starting 3-4 hours before your test time.
