Try eating foods high in antioxidants.  Antioxidants help to remove free radicals from the body.  (The toxins from smoke would be free radicals.)\n\nBlueberries have higher concentrations of antioxidants than anything else.  Other Berries, broccoli, tomatoes, red grapes, garlic, spinach, tea, carrots, soy and whole grains are also full of antioxidants.  \n\nAlso try to find acai (pronounced ah-sa-ee) berry juice or pomegranate juice.  \n\nLook for the acai juice at Whole Foods.

I'm a graduate student in Biomedical Engineering, I study Emphysema (a disease people get when they smoke cigarettes). There are over 4000 toxins in cigarette smoke. Most of them are still unknown. Nicotine is probably the worst toxin as it stops and eventually kills the epithelial cells in the lining of the lung, these cells have tiny hairs that usually "beat" upwards causing the mucus to come up to your throat and get swalloed. With that not working, mucus accumulates in the lung. When you smoke your mucus in filled with those 4000 toxins and your body reacts by secreting an enzyme called "trypsin" into your lungs. Trypsin is the same enzyme that your stomach uses to digest steak. Think of how powerfull it is. After years of smoking, your lungs will have been exposed to so much trypsin that you will litterally have holes in your lung. That is the definition of emphysema. \nYou should tell your BF to stop smoking while he's still young. Maybe you should buy him some nicotine patches and gum for christas. it's going to be a very difficult time so be supportive.\nGood luck!\nAnnie

Drink lots of water. I quit 7 years ago and I had the same thing. Your body is trying to shed the dead cells in your lungs and get rid of the mucus in there. Cough, cough and know your on your way to a healthier life. You could take some drugs Im sure but why trade one vice for another?\n\nCONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Make sure you drink a lot of water daily and it will detoxify your whole system. 8 hours of sleep helps too and remember to wash your face 2 times daily and don't touch your face much.=>

Oat bran, always drink lots of water or hot herbal tea or coffee, get a mineral oil enema and use it, take stool softener or milk of magnesia. Have a specific time each day to try to go. Prune juice will only give you gas so forget about that.

The best and most natural way to cleanse the toxins from your system is to stick to a healthy, well balanced diet that is high in fiber and exercise often. The healthy diet will flush out your digestive tract and the exercise will flush your circulatory system.

It appears to me that your body is very toxic and dehydrated. You need to take some simple steps to get back on track. I say simple but it does take sticking to it to get where you need to be. I would suggest drinking 6 glasses of distilled water every day for the rest of your life to rehydrate your body. \n\nUntil you are in perfect health, drink one glass of distilled water with a tablespoon of unrefined sea salt and follow it up with a glass of straight water in the morning, afternoon, and evening. This will rehydrarte and remineralize your body. Unrefined sea salt is made of almost the identical minerals as your blood. Sea Salt would be like getting a blood transfusion for pennies a day. You can wash down the salty water with fresh water until you get used to the taste. \n\nYour diet could be problematic. Avoid any dairy products, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat until you can get back to optimal health and then only add back foods one at a time to see if they may be causing some of your health issues.\n\nIf drinking water and avoiding gut clogging foods doesn't fix the problem, pick up some prune juice and raw apple cider vinegar from a health food store. Continue drinking the salt water. In addition, also take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar plus cinnamon for taste with prune juice in the morning, afternoon, and evening.\n\nIf you do not have regular bowel movements after two weeks, continue fasting from using dairy of any kind, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat, then add a tablespoon of olive oil, a drop of wild oregano oil, and add two tablespoons of cinnamon to a shot of prune juice and drink it three times a day for two weeks while you continue with the salt water and apple cider vinegar.\n\nIf your body is not in perfect functioning order after two weeks with a changed diet, olive oil and oregano oil, salt water, and apple cider vinegar, I would suggest a colonic using a coffee enema from a colonic specialist. \n\nAt this point you should be the most healthy you have been in your whole life. Your urine should be nearly clear, you should have regular bowel movements, and your body would be in optimal good health. Start adding walnuts and almonds to your diet. Begin juicing carrots, fruits, veggies and eat or juice half of of your food raw. You will never regret it.\n\nIf it is just constipation, a little sea salt and water in the morning, afternoon, and evening could fix your body but drugs are not the answer. Drugs by their definition must kill a rat or the FDA will not sanction any drug as a "drug." Otherwise it is called "food." Let your food heal your body. All health conditions come from a lack of minerals. Your body does not have a lack of rat poison. Don't take rat poison to mask symptoms when you could remineralize your body with sea salt and water, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon plus eating a healthy diet by avoiding toxic vaccinated, steroid pumped up red meat, dairy, and chemically toxic processed food. It is all up to you how far you will take it but the journey is worth the effort.\n\nAs for your hair, neem oil and cold pressed virgin olive oil\nand cheap apple cider vinegar as a rinse has helped me grow back hair.You might look at chlorella for the same reason and avoid using any hair products with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE.\n\nStart paying closer attention to your body before you become a toxic sludge. When your urine is clear and your stools are floating, you will know when you are getting there.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179...

Vinegar is a natural diuretic, I don't know how this could clear THC out of your system. I had a friend who drank Certo Fruit Pectin. She drank some on Monday morning after she had smoked over the weekend, and she wound up having to test that day. She passed the test. I don't know how long the effect lasts. I think that it coats the digestive system, so it prevents anything from getting into the urine. Drink alot of water to help flush your system\n\nThe problem is that THC is stored in the fat cells of the body. If you are burning fat cells, then it will be more prevalent in your system. Alot of "Cleansers" are very high in carbohydrates to keep you from burning fat cells right before your test.\n\nI would try drinking as much water as I could handle. At least 8 8oz glasses a day, more if you can. Then on the day of your test drink the Pectin in the morning before you go out, and lots of things high in carbs until after your test. There are no guarantees.  Good luck!!

Actually yes and no, any large intake of fluids over a period of time will remove the toxins from a human body, some fluids remove certain toxins faster, but they are all 89% water. Even Orange Juice is 89% water, your body is 89% water. The 89% may go up; or down by 3%-10% but that is getting unhealthy.\nIf I consumed 100 gallons of apple cider vinegar, it would probably rid my body of any THC, I am most certain it would. I do not suggest doing that, but it works on paper.\nYou won the bet, but lost the job.

really you should get clean however, depending on how long you got you may have to do several things. have someone urinate and stick it up your--- to keep the body temp or girl the other area. if time drink one gallon of h2o and a whole jar of cranberry juice and the h2o the following day. the 3rd day you will be straight. but no THC in these 3 days. also they have the health store its about $30 follow directions because one can tell if you drank to much h2o. if you smoke 3-4X's a week id do the first or the two bottom ones.

go to your pharmacy or local walmart, kmart, etc and go to the diet section. Get an over the counter detox. I am almost through a 7 day program called "detox7" and it really worked for me. Plus it was really cheap it only cost about $10 and you don't have to stop eating or anything.

Its easy. Just eat a healthy, plant-based diet of whole grains, beans, veges, and fruits. Get lots of exercise. Drink lots of pure water. Stay away from dairy, sweets, fried food, processed food, and fast food. \nYour body will detox just fine on this type of healthy eating plan.
