• Home Remedies for Passing a THC Drug Urine Test that Don’t Work

  Posted on November 18th, 2013 Home Remedies

  Every once in a while, we have some Darwin Award winner who calls in and tells us that their cousin passed a test by using some outlandish method that really has no merit. One girl told me that her cousin told her to drink bleach. WOW!! Some people just should not be allowed to give advice.

  Now here are some home remedies that have little or no merit to them:

  Niacin:
  Niacin will help you with cleaning up toxins in your liver but the THC metabolites are stored in your fat cells so it will do little to help with that. Also, taking too much niacin can have adverse effects like vomiting and nausea.

  Vinegar:
  Some people try to add vinegar to their sample after they pee. The only thing this does is change the PH level of your urine. You will fail.

  Bleach:
  Some people believe that by adding bleach to their sample they can “clean” it of the THC metabolites. Bleach can purify water in an emergency but will have no effect on removing THC from your sample. People who are dumb enough to believe this may just be dumb enough to drink it to “clean” their system. DO NOT DO EITHER!!! Adding to the sample will not work, and drinking it may kill you!

  Goldenseal:
  This product was once considered the best to use to pass a drug test but it was never very effective to use to pass a urine test for marijuana. It did, however, help with some opiates which is why some labs will screen for goldenseal now.

  Pectin:
  Pectin is a substance that people use to make jams and jellies. It is a dietary fiber so it will pass through your system but your body will not absorb it. The belief is that the pectin will coat your stomach, so that it will miraculously stop the THC from entering your urinary tract. Well, the metabolites pass through your kidneys not your stomach so this will not help at all.

  Visine:
  Some believe that by adding Visine to the sample it will remove the THC metabolites.
  It will however cause your sample to foam up and possibly overflow which will be a red flag that you have tried to cheat on your test.

  Ammonia:
  Adding ammonia to your sample will not help you either. Ammonia will change the PH level of your urine and you will fail when they test for adulterants.

  Salt:
  When you add salt to your sample it will not dissolve completely, leaving a residue on the bottom of the sample cup for the lab to see. Plus, salt will alter the specific gravity of your sample and puts it out of the normal ranges for human beings.

  Drain-O:
  Whoever came up with this one must have really been out to lunch. Drain-O will turn your sample a bluish color and alter the PH level causing the lab to know you have added an adulterant.

• Home Remedies for Passing a THC Drug Urine Test: What is the Truth?

  Posted on November 14th, 2013 Home Remedies

  Here at MB Detox, we get calls everyday from people asking how to pass a drug test with household items that they can find in their pantry at home. Some of the home remedies that you have probably read about are effective, the others are just plain wrong and even dangerous. To help you sort through some of the old wives tales, we will start with the basics. Your fat cells are where those THC metabolites are stored and over time your body flushes them out through your urine. Each time you smoke you are introducing more THC metabolites into your system but they do not leave as fast as they enter.
  Here are some of the more common home remedies that people use to pass their test:

  Drinking Water:
  Many people think that if they start drinking gallons of water a few days before or/and on the day of their test they can get rid of the THC metabolites in their system. This is untrue because THC is not water soluble and drinking large quantities of water will not flush it out of your system. It will only dilute the sample. A diluted sample will raise suspicions that you are trying to beat the test because an adulteration test of your sample will measure the sample color, temperature, PH level, specific gravity, glucose and protein levels. Drinking a large amount of water can lighten the color of your urine which could result in a rejection of your sample based on the color alone.

  Cranberry Juice:
  Cranberry juice or a cranberry capsule is a diuretic so it can be helpful in cleaning out your system but it is no magic formula and will take time to clean out the THC in your body. Other common diuretics like coffee, herbal tea, beer, and iced teas also can be helpful taken in moderation but are not going to reduce the THC metabolites in your system fast enough for you to pass a test quickly.

  Exercising:
  Since THC metabolites are stored in your fat cells, exercising can help you lose weight and that means losing fat cells. Taking diuretics such as cranberry juice will help you lose water weight but not fat cells. If you are exercising to lose weight just to pass a drug test, you will not lose enough weight fast enough to accomplish this. You would be better off just to quit smoking marijuana for a few months since it will take that long to lose the weight anyway, but by losing weight you have less body fat and that means the less fat you have the quicker the THC metabolites leave your system after you have quit smoking marijuana.

• What Is That In Your Refrigerator?

  Posted on October 31st, 2013 Home Remedies

  Here at MB Detox we receive a lot of strange phone calls from “experts” that claim to
  “know” how to pass a drug test. Recently I had a phone call from one such expert who used to pass drug tests all the time by just using his sister’s urine and storing it in his refrigerator and heating it up when he had to give a sample. That is just plain nasty, but kudos to his sister for being there for him in his time of need.
  There are a few things wrong with this scenario. First of all, it is unsanitary. Human urine tends to degenerate after a period of time and will grow bacteria and destroy the sample. Secondly, the urine sample that you provide needs to be at a certain temperature to be accepted as a viable specimen. Heating it up in your microwave and keeping it at body temperature until you are ready to pour it into the collection jar requires a lot of preparation because it can’t be too hot or too cold otherwise it will be rejected.
  The simple answer to this dilemma would be to use synthetic urine for your sample.
  Synthetic urine was created with the correct levels of creatine, specific gravity and pH balance to help you pass a drug test. No mess. No worry. The synthetic urine comes with a temperature strip on the outside of the bottle to let you know the correct range and also comes with a warming pad to keep the sample at the correct temperature for up to ten hours. What more could you ask for and you don’t have to worry about keeping someone else’s pee in your refrigerator!
