Passing a Drug Test

Most Fortune 500 businesses require potential employees to take and pass a drug test.  These are usually in the form of a urine test, where you urinate in a cup and it is tested for elements of elicit drugs including marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamines.

While there are no tried-and-true remedies for cleaning your system of cocaine and meth, you can take steps to release THC (the active ingredient in marijuana.)  If you have a drug test looming and want to increase your odds for passing, you can take steps with the following natural cures for trace elements of THC.  Of course, the best home remedy for passing a drug test is to not ingest drugs at all.

Home Remedies For Passing A Drug Test:

Four Simple Natural Cures:

First, you need to drink plenty of water.  Two quarts per day for several days before a drug test is a wonderful home remedy.  Water is a natural cure for toxins in the body and assists with detoxification.  

As your water intake increases, the other chemicals in your urine will become diluted and may appear to be watered down.  To avoid a false positive, take 50 to 100 milligrams of vitamin B complex 12 hour before your urinary test.  This will help color your urine yellow.

Second, take in exercise and dry saunas for the weeks prior to your urinary test.  As your muscles and fat tissue releases THC, it will need increased water to help carry it out via urine.  

The third home remedy step is to stop your increased exercise regimen three days before your test.  While exercise does encourage your body to purge stored THC, it increases the amount found in your urine.  

A fourth, very popular home remedy is to enjoy meals heavy in red meat for 3 days leading up to your test.  This will increase the creatine levels in your blood, making it more balanced.  You can also take creatine supplements in the form of a powdered drink mix.

Diuretics:

A fifth and final home remedy many people swear by is the use of diuretics.  Coffee, tea and cranberry juice are all quality diuretics. Herbal diuretics are also wonderful choices for purging the drugs but they do require you take in no less than 80 ounces of water each day.  

Some foods that are diuretic natural cures, if consumed raw include blackberry, celery, cucumber, citrus fruits fennel, horseradish, parsley, plantain, rosemary, sesame, watercress and watermelon.  Herbal diuretics that are used as home remedies for dirty drug tests are dandelion, cornsilk and burdock.  Other herbal diuretics are agrimony, barberry, black cohosh, black currant, blue cohosh, buchu, calamus, chaparral, cleavers, damiana, elecampane, false unicorn, gotu kola, gravel root, golden rod, hawthorn berries, horsetail, hydrangea, juniper berries, kava kava, lady's bedstraw, liquorice, lovage, marshmallow (the extract, not the fluffy treat), mistletoe (don’t eat your holiday mistletoe), mullein, pennywort, pleurisy root, salad burnet, salad rocket, sassafras, saw palmetto, senna, shepherd's purse, squaw vine, St. Johns wort, sweet woodruff, sugar palm, uva ursi, white willow, yarrow.

Of course, the best natural cure is avoidance of drugs altogether.
