I'll be honest-I don't know anyone that has used Absolute De-Tox and followed the directions and failed. I think that where the misconceptions come in at is that the detox drinks are for Mild to Light users meaning 4 or less times a week and you have to stay clean for 48 hours before hand. Using the detox drinks is dilluting but the directions are far less complicated. If you look at the ingredients-it is creatine and B2. You get everything in one fell swoop. If you are a heavy smoker then you need to quit 2 weeks prior to your test for the de-tox to become effective. Again-De-Tox might be a misleading name but if you do follow the directions you will be getting the results that you want with a pretty simple process.
