    To speed the process what might one do? One might increase fluid
    intake though to avoid water diluting/washing out of your electrolytes
    that use of some sort of isotonic salty solution would seem warranted.
    This might mean more than just NaCl and include at least some KCl.
    One can get too much of both and this is not a good thing hence the
    isotonic nature. And too much can be serious, really.

    It is claim dilute urine is detected by appearance, creatine content,
    and specific gravity. Riboflavin can help color urine but it can result
    in a false THC postiive or perhaps increase the tests sensitivity to THC.

    let the fun begin.................Trig

    By the looks of it NaCL and NaHCO3 should be enough. I did add
    some MgCl2 for extra measure. Fluid volume so far has been 2 litres.
    It now occurs to me I should have checked my weight. It seems a
    good way to clear the whole GI track. Next a pot of coffee?
    This first round was done by taste and estimates per experience
    as to what is safe. Next round will be by the numbers at
    something like 154 mmol/L of Na and also Cl. I am still play
    with the amounts so may add further thoughts.
    One doesn't want too much K+.
    The kidneys need to be fully working for this experiment, YMMV.
    At this level I'd bet one could drop their urate levels.

    Also I've added taurine and creatine to the mix.
    The goal today to flush the chemical out not to simply dilute the urine. Dilution comes tomorrow in 'moderation' and
    with creatine near sample time. Perhaps 5 grams? I wonder
    if taurine might be preferred as its not tested for? The issue
    would be to what extent one absorbs it out of the gut and
    then spills it afterwards.

    I have no desire for liquids but I've the urge to eat
    a horse or pig...................................Trig

    Another 0.75 liter in with salts.
    The next question is what is standard urine out put?
    What is the maximum uptake of water out of the GI tract? What is the maximum out the kidneys with coffee and mildly salt fluids.

    Don't try this at home, do it only with professional services, LOL.

    Trig

    Per that untrustworthy source Wikipedia healthy kidney can put out circa a liter per hour. Average output per day
    is at or well under 2.5 liters. So each 2.5 liter taken it, absorbed and the excreted by the kidneys should
    count as day for ETG testing?  Perhaps a bit more.

    More coffee onboard yet still.............Trig

    Note if this works it will have the drug testing boys will be smearing
    excrement of the walls of U-Tube. Oh that rights, they've already done that.


    If it works, you would be able to bottle it and retire a multi-
    millionaire overnight. :)

    The theory is mainly wash out so its the re-invention of
    water or water with salt. It seems few have written on the topic and what that is written is based on in the box "thinking."

    I ingested a liter at the start of the hour.
    The BP is better though the diastolic is up at
    125/83 at pulse of 57.

    I did have the thought that uncontaminated urine
    might be a useful flushing agent. So perhaps we can get
    some to drink bottled urine? It would have salt and all
    the metabolic breakdown products ;) such that testing
    would clearly be fooled. This would be vastly better
    than taking creatine in an effort of making more of
    similarly named waste product creatinine.

    This experiment does bring to mind the 19th century
    practice of hydrotherapy/water therapy. I've not read
    on the topic, I wonder if they ever added salts to
    the "solution."

    Here is one of the must reads on the topic of ETG and
    related testing.

    http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/317.full

    On another note diluting the urine dilutes saltiness of the urine. So I'll add a 2X dose of oral rehydration salts to
    the mix close to sample time.

    Coffee does help with urine output.

    Nutritional yeast does add some color by way of riboflavin
    and hopefully other water soluble substances.

    Taurine makes sense to keep the body handling the assorted cations well and to keep them in or out of the cells respectively.

    Burgers are too be eaten soon. Ideally beef kidneys ghastly as they are would be perfect meal for testing I'd suspect. Cooking water and all.

    One risk of coffee is one can get really caffeine wired.

    One wonder how long it takes until the kidneys start kicking out the excess salt and sodium? I've hit my max on uptake of liquids out of the gut as I filled the crapper with loose stool.

    And it will take too long to sort out the conversion of creatine
    to creatinine. So I'll add another 5 grams. 4 doses of 5 grams
    was used in some of the research to stock human subjects up with this
    substance then afterwards the trial used a lower dose going on.

    I wonder if whether histidine or proline could be used to confuse the creatinine reading? Anyway they are in nutritional yeast so they
    are on board already.

    I'll back off on the fluids at bit. So I can eat and digest
    the meat and yeast.

    Clearly the risk of fluids aside from the Na depletion which
    I dealt with is the "runs." This should clear up but liquids
    are at a stop now, me thinks. The sample time come up this
    afternoon.

    Had I known how close test sampling and how long in theory EtOH exposure
    can be detected, I could have avoided this experiment.

    Anyway folks this represents one of the best efforts ever posted
    to the web or the usenet that I can find on this topic.
    Hopefully, someone can improve on it.

    I am out of here (until the next posting this hour)
    and will be completely dry for many months.

    Trig

    And they haven't told me if the job is on or off planet, LOL.
    Likely just somewhere at the edge of planet looking into the
    the primordial abyss. I joke only slightly.

    The urine now tests saltier and is slightly yellow.
    But I can't speak to the creatinine level rather only
    blindly stab in a general direction.


    Time for more red meat and yeast with digestive enzymes.

    Trig

    Well it was a screening test. I could see no effort to check
    alcohol but the list of drugs was long. Apparently per the hand-out riboflavin was not an issue for false results.

    So would I have helped myself if they had checked for
    the ethanol metabolite? We will never know.

    Now to flush out the salt and a check the BP which I'll
    bet is up.
    Check.
    And it is different. 138/79 at pulse of 71.
    Not wildly off. I'd like the top number down and I will
    get it so.

    I need fish oil and more boswellia.........Trig

    Now to think about old old skills from a generation ago.
    Welcome to the 1970's, LOL. Just don't turn off the vacuum
    tubes as they take time to warm up.

    Well the BP is better at 125/71 at pulse of 73.
    I think I may still clearing the salt excess.

    Trig

    Clearly the urine at test time was dilute. It was yellow
    but clear different from urine I am now putting out.

    One could claim previous day diarrhea to explain the altered urine composition and that you had rehydrated with a salt solution.
    im going through the same thing got it down to a science woult like to chat
