    According to two doctors from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, goldenseal root may interfere with THC detection in urine tests. You can pick this herb up at places like GNC or if you'd like you can buy the actual plant and make a tea from the root. For best results, one should take 500 mg three times a day.

    DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN RECOMMENDED. If you notice any of the following symptoms seek medical attention immediately: constipation, convulsions, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, seizures.

    Not only is this herb good for passing drug tests it can treat and prevent cancer. It's main active alkaloid, berberine has shown an average cancer cell kill rate of 91%.

    Goldenseal disrupting THC tests is still highly debatable. Some say it works, others say it's completely a myth. Personally I've never tried it, but I wouldn't think that physiologically it should work to completely disrupt a THC test. Just doesn't seem very likely.

    Erowid said it doesn't work worth beans...

    Unfortunately, I didn't read that until AFTER I bought it. Hehe. I have no idea what it is for normally, hmm.

    not only is it of limited effect it is also tested for by most clinics as a known drug screen and can be used as sufficiant evidence to convict you of falsafing a sample which if being tested for legal pourposes not only proves guilt on the original crime also adds another which you can be prosicuted for and violates your probation.

    goldenseal has been used topically for treating rashes, bugbites, athletes foot, & for cut & scrapes (& to help stop bleeding)
    (also a "goldenseal tea" has been used as an eyewash & for treating sties & pimples)


    internal uses include stopping internal hemmoraging & treating infections...
    (overdosage can be dangerous due to respiratory depression, etc...)

    alkaloids include berberine, hydrastine, canadine, etc... protopine alkaloids, i think... it's in the merck index...

    Thanks for the "inside dope". A friend just recommended GS to me - I think I'll pass.

    Ah well - so I don't get that job at Lowes. I'd rather not work for such a Big Brother-type co. anyway. Guess I'll stick with the mom-and-pop business that I work at now and just keep on tokin'......

    if you really want to pass a drug test drink a bunch of water and put bleach on your fingers and pee on your fingers so they can test for things and your free ive tried this method because ive been tested in many doctors offices

    A friend of mine took it for his test and the test came back saying he tampered with it or tried to alter the results so they extended his probation
