Book Reviews of Ur-Ine Trouble

Book Review: READ THIS BOOK.... IT WORKS.
Summary: 5 Stars

I had to take a urine test for a company quite a few years ago. I am not gonna lie, I was partaking of some marijuana during this time and had been smoking it about three days a week steadily for a few years. Not a LOT (like some people I know), but enough to register on a urine test for sure. Well, I read this book (honestly not to pass a drug test but because I thought it looked interesting). When I found out I had to take a pre-employment drug test, I grabbed it off the shelf, dusted it off and re-read it. I followed the advice and passed the test. I should say... when I went in to take the test I went in with three other people. We had all been hired at the same time and all drove together to take the test. They all smoked pot. They had bought some stuff online or whatever, and were drinking these concoctions and they were nervous sweating the drug test, hoping that this expensive stuff that they bought would work. Not me. I had drank about 2 gallons of water that morning and peed SEVERAL times before the test and taken some (quite a bit) aspirin (as recommended in the book) at a specific time. Well..... everyone failed the drug test.... except for me. I passed and got the job. I no longer smoke pot, but I still keep that book. It is a good book, a good read. And the author is DEAD ON. I highly recommend it.

Summary of Ur-Ine Trouble

The truth about drug testing: Why drug users are passing and non-users are failing.

* Backed by 172 medical references, written in easy-to-understand language.

* Discloses the foods and medications that will cause a false positive test.

* Uncovers how drug testing can be used to discriminate against women and minorities.

* Medical secrets of passing drug tests revealed. Author Kent Holtorf, M.D. wrote this book to debunk the myths associated with drug testing. Backed with 172 medical references, this first-of-its-kind testament exposes the discrimination as well as ethical issues surrounding drug testing and raises serious questions about the accuracy of such tests. People are being denied employment because of false positive tests due to medications and many common foods that they are not aware of. These injustices have not previously surfaced because employers rarely tell job candidates or employees that they failed a drug test. Thus, people are unaware that they were denied employment or forced from their job due to a false positive result.

For instance, did you know how easy it is to fail a drug test, even if you've never taken drugs? Did you know the foods you eat can cause you to test positive? And did you know the many other surprising ways you could falsely test positive? If you didn't, you'll want to arm yourself with the knowledge found in this book. If you don't, you could be the next person denied employment due to a false positive drug test.

Also, the author doesn't believe that drug testing offers any benefit in deterring or treating illicit drug use. And, he says, it violates the rights of those it is designed to protect. Thus, he has no reservations about revealing medical secrets to passing drug tests.
