Question by Justin M: Will xxtra clean detox work?
Test is at 9am tomorrow morning. It will be 15 days since I smoked last. The guy at the head shop was very confident. I’ve been drinking tons of water and cranberry juice and eating niacin like they’re skittles. Of course I will follow the directions on the bottle.

Best answer:

Answer by jb
At 15 days, it’s entirely possible that you will pass the test anyway, so keep that in mind if you do.
(Please don’t attribute passing a test to a coincidental handful of niacin and a “detox” kit”.)

There are medical detoxes, for chemical exposures/overdoses, and detoxing from abusing substances in alcohol & drug treatment centers. Otherwise there is no such thing as a detox. Your liver and kidneys are what handle the task of purifying your system.

Question by Gayle: How can I break my sugar addiction?
I’m 46 and I’ve always had a severe sugar addiction but within the past year it’s even gotten worse. If I see candy in someone’s house, I’ll put some in my purse when their not looking then feel guilty about it afterwards. Due to the calories, I’ll skip a regular dinner or lunch in order to have some ice cream or candy. It’s as if I get an actual physical rush from sugar that makes me feel high. Especially chocolate candy. I’ve tried to stop but I get bad cravings. This just isn’t a “Wow I really love candy and chocolate” thing. This is a “I must have some every day or I’ll go into withdrawal” thing. Can it be broken? I don’t want to live my life being a slave to sugar. If I can get to a point where I don’t crave it, how is that accomplished? Thank you in advance for your help, it’s appreciated. Now excuse me while I go get a bowl of pudding!
