Default ephedrine or otherwise chemically increasing metabolism?

Got a test coming up, probably in another week. Was a daily user but started cutting back to 2-3 times a week in February, down to only like once a week by the end of Feb/first week of March, and been clean about 2 weeks. So in all I'll have 3 weeks of total 100% clean time following a period of light usage under my belt which has me pretty confident to begin with.

Question is, I'm a bit of an OTC speed freak, take 50 to 75mg of ephedrine HCL daily (yeah, the gov't outlawed Ephedra and its herbal sources, which contain ephedrine alkaloids, but they never outlawed the pure active ingredient... it just has to be marketed as an asthma treatment now... hah.) So despite the stupidity of that habit... I'm zooming around all day every day. In the two weeks time I've been clean I've lost like 6-7lbs (probably from lack of munchies! and have been keeping active, and using an herbal detox tea that a friend of mine swears by who's a heavy smoker and drinks it regularly and passes the simpler EMIT tests regularly, so in all I'm not too worried. I'm just wondering if anybody has experience with some sort of "chemically enhanced" metabolism and thinks it might have helped me clean out even quicker? I read somewhere that amphetamines *will* produce this effect and cause you to clean out quicker, and well, ephedrine has a pretty similar physical effect. (Yes, I realize ephedrine can cause amphetamine false positives, so I'm stopping now with at least a week to spare just because I don't want to raise undue suspicion.)

I also have a theory this might benefit me in a second way - without that chemical metabolism boosting crutch I have a feeling my body is going to slow way down and probably return to fat storing mode. (I've been on and off the stuff over the years, always lose weight when I'm on it and it always comes right back on when I stop.)

Anybody have any comments on all that? Or maybe anybody on diet pills or ADHD meds (like ritalin for example, which IS amphetamine) that feels they may have cleaned out quicker because of it? I'm going to pick up a self-test kit tomorrow just to see my progress anyway. Just curious on anyones thoughts, seems logical to me that it should all work that way... I'm in no way suggesting anybody take speed to clean their system out though!

Lightbulb herbs, teas yadi

ok, where to start. hot tea, herbal tea goes through your system fast as does coffee. This will help clean your system out quickly.

Some herbs remain in your system for up to 48 hours. Try taking antioxidants. They clean systems out nicely. Some antioxidants include: vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium for minerals and vitamins. DO NOT take potassium pills if you can help it! This is stupidly dangerous. They do not clean out your system as much as some believe. Your heart requires potassium but too much will literally cause strokes, heart attacks and even stopping the heart entirely. Potassium deals a great deal with heartbeat regulation. It is, however, used for acid-base and fluid balance. It is hard to become overdosed with potassium unless you have kidney and/or liver problems that you may not be aware of. If you have an ulcer of sorts don't take potassium. Potassium is really not worth the risk.

If you want to cleanse your system of well, anything almost, just take daily vitamins, drink hot tea, herbal tea (gingko tea works).

Zinc helps to detoxify the liver/kidneys (mainly liver) of alcohol and well you know what other certain thingies that might be floating in your bloodstream. If you get naseaus for anything you take, hence yer taking to freakin much!

There is really no reason to overdose on vitamins, minerals or herbs. Just drink tea, or caffeine does wonders too, and anything to "hydrate" you quickly like gatorade with electrolytes. Take vitamins daily and go cold turkey of the weed a few days prior and you should be fine.

Why bother with weird and freaky stuff of stuffing a condom full of warm water in your pants?? lol that's funny.

But, if you are hardcore on this stuff, then really, it's cool, but........you probably didn't need all of those brain cells. Haha! You guys worry too much about drug testing! If you only smoke a few buds a week or a few joints you should be fine stopping a few days ahead and just taking care of your body otherwise and drinking tea etc.

If ya need info, let me know I be a wanna-be nurse haha and I have to pass these nice tests bleh
