- Test Your Government
- Not Your Urine
- reply by Jeff Nightbyrd founder Byrd Labs
-
- Here's some additional info on urine testing. Remember pscyhedelics are
- not normally tested for and there metabolites are difficult to find even
- by a GC/MS test. Many of you may have friends with other problems so I'll
- send this along.
-
- Because I'm writing too fast to cite background
- material, I'll give a capsule snapshot of my background. I invented
- powdered drug free urine. Then helped Abbie Hoffman with Steal This Urine
- Test (in which he endorsed the powdered appraoch). Later, with the help of
- many libertarian chemists, I developed an additive called UrineAid. This
- worked so successfully tin caused an uproar in the testing industry, After
- a year they created a test just to detect UrinAid. This counter, counter
- measure, is currently used in about 5% of the laboratories. The great
- state of Texas, where I live, passed a law against my activities, making
- it illegal to manufacture or sell a product in Texas that would create a
- negative on urine tests. Therefore, I sold Byrd Labs, but still remain as
- a consultant.
-
- I'm not a pot smoker. I got into this because urine testing is
- un-American. Testers invade your person on the presumption of guilt until
- innocence is proven, which violates the 5th amendment. Urine tests don't
- enhance the public's safety because they measure what happened at the
- party last weekend rather than a person's current performance capacity.
- They are basically anti marijuana tests because the evil weed will be
- detected in your system up to 30 days while coke, for example, passes out
- of the detectability range in two. The basic emit test is triggered by
- more than 250 over the counter medications. False positives run high. Our
- prison system is filled with minor marijuana offenders which costs the tax
- payers a fortune.
-
- A few facts: as of January, The DOT reduced the testing level for THC
- from 100 nanograms to 50. In the past, various drinks such as Test Free,
- worked because they diluted a sample under the threshold of the test.
- Water, Ice tea,or Pepsi work as well. Dillution alone will be
- increasingly risky under the new cut off levels. Visine does not work. Nor
- does Goldenseal, WD 40, or blood. In an emergency, dilution combined with
- adding household powdered bleach is the best bet.. Grind the powder and
- experiment. Many bleaches foam or leave residue. By the way Draino does
- not work well even when adding a half teaspoonful. And, besides foaming,
- those little metal specks must be removed. With the aid of NORML
- activists, who supplied THC positive samples, we have run more than a
- 1000 tests to check every possible theory.
-
- Powdered urine, "We are to urine, what Tang is to orange juice", works
- perfectly. However in most situation carrying it in, pre mixed, is a
- problem. UrinAid is very potent, but some employers are testing for this
- adulterant. You have to check out your situation before using it. Super
- Clean is effective, but the inventor had to design a compound which would
- beat the tests but not be so strong as to be detectable. In some
- situations ( about 3%) it's failed. A new product called Klear has looked
- very promising in our tests.
-
- Conquering the Urine Tests, the 10th edition of my pamphlet updated for
- 1995 is just out. It's $5 by mail. (Sorry I'm just getting my internet
- surf board wet.) Byrd Labs is reachable at 800 333-2152. You can fax me
- questions at 512 478-7706 - I'll try to be helpful. The phone number for
- Klear is 800 661-1357. Klear's address: 40 4th street #216, Petaluma, Ca.
- 94952.

- Justin is correct when he says deny and challenge any positive result.
- Many employers are not showing employees their lab results. It's the new
- excuse used to fire someone without going through proper procedures. I've
- counseled several, very straight, elderly workers - close to retirement
- - who were fired and lost their pension benefits because they "failed
- their drug test". Un Hunh! Also women's urine is sometimes tested for
- pregnancy. In addition, urine has been used to detect heart, renal, and
- other conditions in employees. In this Orwellian Big Brother era there are
- no laws protecting workers. My time is limited, but I'm willing to provide
- what I help I can for those challenging testing. If anyone has an
- interesting law suit underway, I have one of the most extensive libraries
- of materials in the country, collected with the help of many people who
- think the multi billion dollar War on Drugs is a threat to our liberties.
