Ive just been offered a job with a company that operate a drug testing proceedure via hair sampling, Wrongly, I have on the odd occasion indulged in taking Ecstasty from time to time. I am looking at purchasing a product called After Burn (a toxin eliminating shampoo). Has anyone had a similar experience or used a similar/same product, if so did you find it successful and were you able to provide a negative sample and therefore pass the test?
Keen to hear from anyone asap, Basically - Does this stuff work?
Effectivness of Hair Drug Testing shampoos? extascy, as it metabolizes in your blood converts into amphetamines and methampethamines (which is what tends to keep you up) but only has a half life of about a week in your system.
it will still test in your hair but more likely than anything as a methamphetamine. As for the THC, the average 1.5" hair strand sample shows three years of evidence.
I have no experience with a snake oil product, but the bottom line is never take a test you don't KNOW you can pass. If you can avoid the test by any means...do so. :shrug:

What to use for Skin cleansing and what not to use!
When you are cleansing your skin, you want to make sure that you only use the best organic natural ingredients possible.
Let's have a look in your bathroom. You may be amazed about this, but potentially dangerous poisons and toxins lurk in your personal toiletries you are probably not even aware of. In fact I would go as far as saying you have no idea of the potential problems these chemicals can cause. If you are a psoriasis, eczema or arthritis sufferer or you have chronic fatigue problems, then grab that bottle of shampoo you used yesterday and have a look at the label.
Does it contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) - What about related chemicals Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate (ALS) or SLES
A toxic chemicals and all known skin irritants!
SLS is a powerful commercial degreaser and is used in industry for cleaning workshop floors and degreasing machinery. It is also the main foaming agent and degreaser in almost all shampoos! You will find it in your toothpaste, your bubble bath, shower gel, shaving lotion and a host of other products including being used as a glazing agent on pharmaceutical drugs!
You will even find these chemicals in shampoos prescribed by doctors to ease psoriasis and eczema of the scalp.
THE VERY PROBLEM A SUFFERER IS TRYING TO ELIMINATE IS ACTUALLY EXACERBATED BY THE SHAMPOO DESIGNED TO GIVE RELIEF!!!!
How stupid is that???
If these were a safe chemicals why do they place skull and cross bone warnings on the drums of commercial chemicals, warning users of the dangers and stressing the need to wear protective clothing, goggles and rubber gloves when handling and to seek immediate medical help if swallowed or spilt on the skin?
It sure doesn't make sense to put it on your head or anywhere else on your body or in your mouth if the warning labels on the commercial drums are correct. We have no reason to suspect that the warning labels are anything but correct! Chemicals have the ability to cause ongoing sensitivities, chronic health problems and many so-called "safe" chemicals have been proven to be a precursor to cancer in test animals.
Chemicals have the same effect on us no matter how they are absorbed. The membranes of the mouth are known to absorb toxins very quickly, as is the skin. Would you trust a three year old not to swallow toothpaste? Would you knowingly give your child a poison to put in their mouth? Think about it! Why do the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals go to extraordinary lengths to warn users of the commercial chemical to avoid contact with the skin if they are not dangerous?
Perhaps long term exposure to low levels of so called "safe quantities" of these powerful chemicals just may have a detrimental and cumulative effect on the body over time. You want to believe it. The author of this article has suffered with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities all his life due to handling chemicals as a young man and being exposed to higher than "normal" levels over a five year period. Exactly the same effect will happen to you if you continue to absorb so called "safe" chemicals over many years from the toiletries and cosmetics you use.
YOU NEED TO ELIMINATE THEM NOW FROM YOUR BATHROOM!!!!
Here are just some of the most common chemical culprits
Propylene Glycol (PG)
Propylene Glycol is a wetting agent and along with a related chemical ethylene glycol is used in industry as the main component of brake fluid and antifreeze. Also used extensively in paint and varnishes. It is also found in your shampoo, toothpaste, hair conditioner beauty creams and lotions, cleansers, makeup and is very common in children's personal care items and many other products you use on a daily basis. Again this is a potentially dangerous chemical. Food manufacturers even used it for years in ice cream and other foods they did not want to set too hard when frozen. At least the government stepped in and forced its removal from many of our food supplies. However it still remains in many food products and is another reason why you should avoid those e-numbers like the plague. But what about our toothpaste and other lotions and potions we put on ourselves and on the skin of our loved ones? Propylene glycol and derivatives of this chemical are found in a vast array of personal care toiletries and cosmetics.
Ethylene glycol has severe adverse health effects and has been found to cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities. It also damages cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin, contact dermatitis and surface damage to the skin. First cousin to ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, has been noted as toxic to human cell cultures in the laboratory. The American Academy of Dermatologists published a clinical review in January 1991 that showed propylene glycol caused a significant number of reactions and was a primary irritant to the skin even in low levels of concentration of around 5%. Propylene glycol routinely occurs in the top 3 listing of ingredients in any given product, indicating that it is present in high concentration.
Sodium Hydroxide
Found in toothpaste, shampoos and soaps. A powerful caustic chemical associated with sodium chloride, a powerful oxidant. Causes severe skin irritation and can permanently damage the eyes. Used as a pipeline cleaner in industry. Users are warned to wear full protective clothing when handling the concentrate! It is in your toothpaste for goodness sake!!! It causes mouth ulcers and sensitises people to other chemicals. It is vital to prevent this dangerous caustic substance from making contact with your skin or ingesting it. If you have any skin problems or auto-immune dysfunction then it becomes vital to keep it out of your system
Diethanolamine DEA, Cocamide DEA, Lauramide DEA
A colourless liquid or crystalline alcohol that is used as a solvent, emulsifier and detergent or wetting agent. DEA works as an emollient in skin softening lotions or as a humectant in other personal care products. When found in products containing nitrates, it reacts chemically with the nitrates to form carcinogenic nitrosamines. Although earlier studies seem to show that DEA itself was not a carcinogen, more recent studies show that DEA has the capacity unequivocally, to cause cancer even in formulations that exclude nitrates. DEA may also irritate the skin and mucous membranes. Also watch out for the other ethanolamines, triethanolamine TEA and monoethamolamine MEA. These dangerous chemicals are also found in sunscreens and many other cosmetic products. They can cause nitrates to form when combined with specific chemicals. "Some of the most dangerous chemicals we put on our bodies in the name of beauty belong to a family of hormone disrupting chemicals...these chemicals readily react with any nitrites present to form carcinogenic nitrosamines... prolonged exposure can alter liver and kidney function and lead to CANCER..." WDDTY Vol10 No7 10/99 DANGEROUS!!!
Dioxin
A carcinogenic by-product of many manufacturing processes, especially the weed-killers 245-T and 24-D and the manufacturing of pulp for paper production. It is also found as a by-product in the manufacture of foaming cleansers such as shampoos, toothpastes and cleansers. Dioxin contaminated containers which include some plastic manufacturing processes for plastic bottles sometimes transfer dioxins into the product itself. It has been shown that dioxin is up to 500,000 times more carcinogenic than DDT. Dioxin is one of the most potent and powerful poisons known to man!
Formaldehyde
A toxic colourless gas that is a strong irritant and a known carcinogen. Used in industry as a powerful preservative, in agriculture as a foot rot treatment for cattle and sheep and in the mortuary as an embalming fluid! When combined with water, formaldehyde is commonly used as a disinfectant, fixative and a preservative. It is common preservative in childhood vaccines! Formaldehyde is found in many cosmetic products, bubble bath and shampoos and conventional nail beauty treatments.
Effectivness of Hair Drug Testing shampoos? My brother is a druggie (I am not.. so PLEASE no negative comments from anyone.) He has tried stuff that is supposed to detox your hair (I don't know any brand names) But none have worked. I personally have not had to try any so I can not tell your from experience. Sorry.

Effectivness of Hair Drug Testing shampoos? consider shaving your head if the job matters so much then they may only ask for a urine test.As far as im aware the hair testing method needs more than just a few strands to be effective and the hair length is what gives the history of your drug use.Their are also many chemicals within domestic products and medicines that can hugely affect the results %26amp; give false readings and these are listed on some of the drug sites online as a way of putting the testers of the scent!!.When taking a drug test you are asked many questions about what meds %26amp; products you have had contact with you have taken/used recently etc specifically because of any affect on the result they may have.This is from my own personal experiences of reg caning it around drug tests!
