I would agree, cdk420, that a substitution is best in your case. Actually, I think for any non-DOT/court mandated test, substitution is the only way. Detoxification is unreliable. The very first time I had to have a urinalysis I went to a doctor and asked her how I could detoxify safely and quickly. Bless her heart; she worked with me for a week through an intensive, medically-sound detoxification regimen. And I still failed my UA (that took place a week after all the detoxing).

In my case, phew, I managed to run into the same lab technician who did my test last week and she, without so much as a "huh?" signed my form and faxed it to my employer. I was flabbergasted and grateful! I'm so happy the Universe came through! Granted, I first had to ride the bus with the urine sample wrapped in a hand warmer in my bra (which is oh so very hot) - for nearly two hours. Go through a dentist appointment with it sitting carefully upright in my purse. Then ride to my place of employment (yeah, I got the job) with the urine stashed in my bra, ask for a new form, idly chat, and head back to the lab (another hour-long bus ride). All of that just to pour the sample out. But, thank god! Although, it would be nice to know whether a menopausal sample could make it through the second test.

I can only hope something so wonderfully karmetic happens to you as well, cdk420. I'll light one in your honor :thumbsup:
