Hello!
Thank you for letting me onto what seems like an incredibbly well moderated forum! im sure you are already aware per the many thread on this board and others out there on the web that there is a lot of misinformation, IE certo method with the gelatin mix etc.
I'm going to be attempting to get a substitution but in the event of observation also want to be prepared for dilution should it be needed. The original thread of how to prep in the 4-12 hour range in advance of the test is very helpful and very clear! However in the attempt to also not over dilute to necessitate a second test what is the best way to go about it? Should excess water only be a part of this process in that 4-12 hour period or is drinking more water neither here nor there ahead of the 4-12 hours? Should fatty foods be avoided? Should heavily salted(sodium in general foods) be avoided?Is there any general guideline for how much additional cretaine should be consumed in the 72 hours ahead of the test? Any advantage to red meat over creatine supplements? Should b12 vitamins only be used in the 4-12 hour period, or is it good to start in the 72 hours ahead of time?
In advance a special thank you to the moderators(Burnt Toast, FBR, etc.) who have time and time again stepped in to make clear what the science of passing these tests is, you folks are, truly heroes to people who just want to live their normal happy lives and are beholden to this ridiculous privacy invasion.
posting again for anyone else who is interested the original dilution directions from N2, although I've seen Burnt Toast update to say aspirin need no longer be taken as it is not screened for
this info is for a 5'2 130lb female who has abstained for what will be 24 days come time for the test.
Thanks again for the help!
Step 1. 4-12 hours before the test take 4 aspirin (not Tylenol or Advil). This step may be repeated every 4-6 hours up until 4 hours before the test.
Step 2. 3-4 hours before your test, start by drinking 2, 8oz. glasses of water. Water can be substituted for with Cranberry or fruit juice, teas or even soft drinks. Then drink another 8oz. every 15 minutes for the next hour for a total of 6 glasses of water (48oz).
Step 3. In about 1 - 2 hours (depending on your system) you should be voiding â??clearâ?? urine about every 15 - 20 minutes. Continue to drink 3-4 oz. more water to replace what you've voided every 20-30 minutes.
Step 4. 1-2 hours before the test, take vitamin B2 or B complex (about 10 times the daily recommended dosage). If the vitamins are time release, crush them before taking. You may also take vitamin B with each glass of water, 2 times the daily dosage, if you find it easier.
