Goldenseal is a plant and you can get either the root or the leaves in pill form. It's also a liquid or tea. The liquid is rumored to absorb slower than the capsules. Goldenseal is a diuretic, but works no better than other diuretics. Furthermore, NORML reports that Goldenseal is now being tested for. Taking Goldenseal is a foolish waste. Goldenseal has shown to work on occasion. However, some labs are reportedly testing for Goldenseal. Goldenseal is very unreliable, and California NORML advises against using it. Goldenseal (as a screen) only works on the TLC test, which is not used anymore.

and...

Unfortunately, one aspect of goldenseal that has driven the market in recent years is the notion that goldenseal will somehow affect the outcome of urinalysis for drug testing. This practice is a part of American folk culture, evolving from a novel by pharmacist John Uri Lloyd. Stringtown on the Pike, the most popular of his eight novels, was published in 1900.


Anyway, Bozo was just telling us HIS story, and I truly think he believes that it helped (maybe he had an old test?) He is not a first poster in this forum and probably knows lots more about growing than we do. He has good reputation here and we should show him some respect. Although I wonder what he'd do if I posted some outdated information in the growing section of this forum??

Chill out guys... its ok. I'd still like to hear some more success stories... :thumbsup:
thanks for the vote of confidence suzieque and i appreciate that you didn't
just spew criticisms but rather presented evidence of a sort.

in any event, you make two very valid points, first that i only told my story,
which is what the original poster was asking for.

the second valid point is that the tests are different now than they were.
the fact is it was several years ago when i took those tests and used the
Golden Seal so maybe that's why it worked for me.

i also made it clear that you should do some home testing before you trust
whatever method you decide to use.

btw, you are right that my focus is on growing weed and not on finding ways
to beat drug tests. frankly, i normally don't involve myself in these sorts of
threads and only chose to respond to this one because the original poster
was asking for personal success story's and i felt my story would be appropriate.

in any event, here are some of my CFL buds for you to ogle, lol, this is where
my heart is.
