Hah, well not for me man.
I smoked a week before my test, two 12 packs of that shit and water got me clean.
It was the water that caused you to dilute the THC metabolites in your urine and not clean you out.:rolleyes: None of that cleans you out. It isn't like pressure washing your driveway. It is dilution, not cleaning you out.Quote:

I'm also pretty precise about how much I drink and when. It's not just toss back a bunch of green tea and water. I drink just enough water to dilute it it a little bit while the green tea cleans it out.
The point of the dilution method is not to dilute your urine to the point that it is nothing but water. There are different degrees of dilution. Rather the dilution method's goal is to lower the THC metabolite concentration to below 50 ng/ml in most cases without dropping the specific gravity or creatinine clearance to below accepted levels. That is the degree of dilution you are trying to acheive, not drinking gallons of water to turn your urine into 100% water. Your urine can be dilute in the terms that the THC concentration appears lower because of increases water in the urine without failing as a diluted sample. You need to learn the difference between dilute and diluted sample because there is a huge difference.Quote:

The validity testing has a range you must fall in and not one specific value.
Drink one big glass of pickle juice before your test bro, It will give your peeQuote:

They measure specific gravity of the urine and sometimes creatinine clearance not if your urine is yellow or clear. Pickle juice will not even give your urine color anyway.Quote:

FBR, Though what you say is quite true.
The tea I'm drinking have 72mg of antioxidants per240mL.
Which would lower the THC metobolite concentration. I thinkyou overestimate the amount of water I consume as well. I drink maybe 8 glasses in the whole week. The green tea is the major player here. I normally don't drink much water until I am within a week or two of a test.
The metabolite concentration is lowered because the tea, being a liquid, is serving as a diluting agent to the concentration thats present in the bodys excretory system. The tea has no effect in removing THC metabolites from fat cells. There is NO product of any kind that removes THC from body fat. Only physical activity can do that. Time is also a major player, but bear in mind that the time factor is influenced by the degree of physical activity.Quote:

Drinking liquids of any sort days before the test does nothing. THC is stored away in your fat cells and slowly released into the bloodsteam, to make an eventual exit from the body via the excretory system. You are not pushing anything out when you ingest liquids days prior to your test, other than the first few voids when you eliminate most of the metabolites that have built up in the excretory system.
To put it more simply, when you are drinking fluids, you are aiming to get the mass of THC metabolites present in a given volume of urine under the cutoff level of the test you are taking. When you drink a large amount of fluids, your body is still releasing THC metabolites at a constant rate.
Now time for an analogy:
You are mixing Kool-Aid, and instead of using 2 quarts of water you use 20. Now go and measure the mass of Kool-Aid particles per glass of Kool-Aid (how watered down does it taste?). You can probably barely taste the Kool-Aid.
Kool-Aid mix = the THC metabolites
your taste buds = the EMIT screening reagent (drug test)
You cant taste it, you might as well say its not Kool-Aid.
The EMIT screening reagent doesnt react to its calibrated cutoff level, it simply says the sample contains no THC.
Same principle with your body and drug tests.

It makes you excrete burning hot fesces, and we should know that more thc metabolites are actually expelled in solid waste rather than urine. I believed in it so much i would buy it again, even though some people say "its a waste of money, blah blah blah" you gotta do what you feel you gotta do when u MUST pass the test. Of course you would have to feel its worth the money even if it is a waste, if not, then the jobs just not good enough then is it?
