Myths and Legends Revealed: Part 2
The most well known, and commonly spoken of home remedy for passing a Urine Drug Test is dilution. Dilution is the process by which you take in a very large amount of fluid so that the metabolite distribution of THC in your urine sample is spread far thinner than it would be if you had taken in normal amounts of fluid.
The main reason that dilution used to work, but no longer does is because Labs have gotten smart to this attempt to fool them. When a sample is analyzed in a lab a diluted sample will come back as inconclusive. The labs haven’t always had such sensitive equipment so they didn’t know that they were getting false negatives from diluted samples until more recently in the history of Drug Testing. Now, they can see clearly that there is far more fluid in a sample than all of the other things that should be present. They test a Urine sample now, not just for the drug metabolites, but also to see if it has a proper Creatine level (Creatine being a by-product of the normal digestive system producing an expected amount at regular intervals), a proper Ph Balance, and color, as well as temperature and many other factors. Simply diluting yourself by drinking large quantities of water will no longer help you to fool the labs into seeing your sample as anything more than a tampered with sample. When the labs detect this they assume that you were purposefully diluting your sample in order to falsify the results, and they give you an automatic failure.
Often people will tell you that you can dilute yourself, but take supplements to increase the Creatine and color so that you can pass your test. What most people don’t seem to realize is that the list of vitamins and supplements that you would need to purchase separately in order to make up what’s lost with the increase of water is a lengthy list, and in the end would cost you more than a Detox Product that’s already got all those vitamins and supplements inside of it.
