To start off, I am aware that the BLUA restricts "asking advice about drug tests" etc, and if this post is too closely related then by all means take it down.
I am simply interested in the science behind how are bodies eliminate drugs from it's system. I have done a large amount of research on this subject and there are loads of conflicting information.
I know that drugs are, to simplify, broken down by enzymes/the kidneys into metabolites which are then excreted through our urine, hair, saliva, sweat etc. Hence drug tests look for these metabolites.
I know this process is affected by numerous variables including height, weight, age, your body's metabolic efficiency etc. What I am wondering and have had lots of experience with is whether increasing the amount of excretion actually eliminates the drug's metabolites faster. Obviously there are substances that are fat soluble however my experience/observations/curiosity has to do with polar compounds (water soluble) and the constant flushing of water through the system and if the amount of urine and sweat the body excretes quickens the process or if it is solely governed by your kidneys working and your enzymes working. Obviously this subject is related to drug tests however I am not asking for advice just looking for well informed people who may know the body's inner workings better than me because the web is filled with so many "experts" who all contradict each other.
Thank you for reading sorry for the length of post.
