30 days sans smoke, but failed at home test tonight

[webdox]

Take the niacin, exercise, drink water, boost your metabolism, and burn lipids out and thus remove THC from your system (otherwise it's just a slow release as your body slowly metabolizes it, and you'll be left with a constantly-detectable level of drugs in your system,) and eat plenty of soluble fiber. This is how you detox your body.

The joys of having dated a doctor.

To be blunt (no pun intended) most doctors don't know shit when it comes to THC and how to rid the body of it, I know, I am a PA for one. The only ones who know any factual information are the ones who have or still smoke themselves. Niacin does't do a thing in helping expedite the unloading of THC from your system. You are better off taking up smoking cigarettes if you want a sedentary boost to your metabolism but I am not suggesting anyone do that Exercise will trump any secondary metabolism boosting tricks tenfold so there is really no benefit in taking niacin if you aren't already taking it.

Yep, I'm definitely planning to increasing overall hydration for general quality of life, but it's just a thought I had. I realize all of this is just a shot in the dark, but now I realllly wish I had been working out these past 30 days.

Again, anyone have successful stories of substituting urine with a physical involved?

Compounding the situation, I don't really know what's going to happen next Tuesday..All I've been told is that i'll show up at 8, get me in the classroom to go through this couple hour long training session, then send me to the doctor "at some point" to get a physical and a drug test. Sigh.

BZZT! Do your research! Because if you had done your research on how the human body processes THC, youd understand that having your metabolism in high gear so close to test time (as the OP is experiencing) will do more harm than good.

Again, whenever fat cells are burned, the stored THC metabolites are released back into the bloodstream. They are only "removed" from the body via excretion thru the urine, the bowels, and to a very miniscule extent, sweat.

Its very irresponsible of you to advise someone (particularly with a job riding on the outcome of a U/A) to kick their metabolism in high gear when their scheduled U/A is just right around the corner. Again, do your research before giving advice that can cause someone to lose their job, or worse, end up in jail.

Yea, I did my research. That's exactly why I passed my UA every single time for FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT.

Want the TOMIS number to check with the Tennessee and Mississippi databases? #10000363700. They have all records of all tests. Call for probation officer John White or Otis Thomas at the Memphis Tennessee Department of Probation and Parole.

Enjoy.

Oh please. Like your test results and your POs are going to state how youve passed your test.

Your anecdotal account in no way, shape, or form adds up to scientific fact. If everything in the world were to be based upon "personal experience", it would be a pretty sad existence.

In drug testing forum, we tend to stick with factual info. Non-facts can quickly land an uninformed reader (that would assume what youre passing off as "fact") in the unemployment line or jail. If you dont like the idea that the poster is held to such a high standard of fact, well thats too bad. Thats how it is here and shall remain. And if that idea is somehow not your cup of tea, then perhaps the drug testing forum is not for you.
The drug testing forum is not a playground. Drug testing is a serious issue because careers, families, and freedoms are hinging on the outcome and factual info is vital.

Like BT said, the last thing you want to do the day or two before you piss is to burn a bunch of fat. You want shut your metabolism down as much as you can and eat a high fat diet to help your body go into THC hoarding mode.

Ok guys, update time:

I have managed to weasel my way into roughly a 1 week extension. Sooo, instead of the test being this coming Tuesday (the 27th) it will a week later on the 3rd or so. So that gives me roughly 12-13 days from now. I understand about the not working out right before a UA, but given this increase in time, shouldn't I be trying to burn off what I can?

By test day it will have been well over 40 days...geez, hurry up body. I'm tired of being stressed.

You can go ahead and diet/exercise, but stop on the 30th and check your efforts with a THC test kit (be sure to use the first urination of the day). If youre still testing positive, stop all fat-burning activities and go ahead and utilize the remaining days to start loading on creatine and make other preparations for the Dilution method to be used on the day of the scheduled U/A.
Still, make an effort to acquire a clean urine sample for subbing.

Show me your medical license, please.

When your metabolism isn't in gear, your body is unable to rid itself of the THC stored in lipids IN THE BLOODSTREAM.

You'll fail the test anyways.

I'll trust my doctors that saved my life over anything all of you say. Maybe if you bothered talking to a doctor (and a Physician's ASSISTANT doesn't even have the extra 8 years of education required for a PhD so that opinion doesn't count either.)

I'll bet you just didn't follow proper instructions for detoxification. It is a fairly common thing to have happen.

Also, since you apparently know nothing about me, let me give you a hint: with my ectomorphic body type, niacin is the PERFECT solution for UA passing. Why? Because we have very little body fat in the first place in which to store THC.

You may continue talking when you have the same education as my doctors, the very same people that rebuilt my skeleton.

To call them fools shows your absolute lack of education on the subject.

Can we please stop turning this into a pissing match (no pun intended) about who's doctor knows more about what??

Christ, effing 80% of this thread is eaten up with bickering.

It doesnt show.

ALL humans have fat cells for THC to be stored in regardless if they show body fat or not.

I challenge you to provide proof in the form of linked sources that specifically state that niacin has an effect on the metabolization of THC. I wish you luck on that because youre damn sure going to need it.
