Does crannberry pills help to dilute ph levels. for a drug screen?

Answer:
pH is a scale that measures the acidity and alkalinity of a liquid. It is a scale of approximately 1 (very acid) to 14 (very alkaline). Water is neutral and will be at pH 7. Normal urine should have a pH of 6.4, which is slightly acid.



If Your Urine pH is above 6.4, follow these directions:
Your urine is too alkaline and you must avoid foods that have an alkalizing reaction in the body.
Avoid all citrus fruits: orange, grapefruit, lemon; rosehip or fruity herb teas.
Instead of eating fruits, eat vegetables. Do not drink fruit juices except for cranberry juice.


Obtain unsweetened Cranberry juice (or cranberry juice concentrate) from a health food store. This cranberry juice must not be mixed with any other juice. Dilute it to the recommended concentration (if concentrated) and sweeten only slightly (if you must) with sugar (not honey). Drink half a cup of this every half an hour until your urine pH normalizes. Or, dilute it with water and sip it at frequent intervals until your urine pH normalizes.



If Your Urine pH is below 6.4, follow these directions:
Your urine is too acid and you must avoid foods that have an acid reaction in the body.
Reduce your intake of animal products. Eat fruits, particularly the citrus fruits.


How do the lab tests work?

Urine Specimen: At least 80 ml's of urine with a pH less than 7.0 and a specific gravity of at least 1.010 is needed. The amount, pH, and specific gravity is easily tested using a litmus paper tester that turns the appropriate color.


So, the answer to your question is yes, cranberry pills ( diuretics will also accomplish this) will dilute the alkaline (above 6.4) urine ph level drug-related. But remember,decreased psychomotor reflexes among other deleterious effects from marijuana have been known to last 24-31 hrs from as little as 1-2 marijuana cigarettes.


Diuretics flush excess water from the body. As a result there is considerable weight loss. They have been improperly used to dilute performance enhancing drugs in urine so that their presence cannot be detected by lab tests. They have also been used in weight classified events to achieve an appropriate competitive weight. I also read somewhere that vinegar will also do the trick. Some even resorted to inserting vinegar into the urinary system.



However, bear in mind, that there are other more sophisticated and expensive methods of drug urine testing. They are classified into : Thin layer Chromatography (TLC); Gas Chromatography ( GC), and combination of Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry ( GC/MS).

no

someone told me there is a supplement called "witch" something that helps

Hell No.But then you shouldn't even be taking any kind of drugs to begin with,unless they are prescribed by your doctors.In which case,if you tell the work place that you have to take medications prescribed by your doctors,and can show them the proof that the doctors wrote them out for you to take,then the employers will be a little bit more understanding in respects to this matter on site.But any others that are illeagal,or not yours to take to begin with,can cause you some serious issues down the road.
