How can i detox at home without spending a fortune?


My skin is in a state and my hair and nails are very brittle due to an excessive amount of partying including consuming large amounts of alcohol and recreational drug abuse. Im prone to breakouts of late and get hard little bumps under my skin that are not quite pimples. I have been using lots of crystal meth and ecstacy. Desperately in need of tips on how to detox in and externally and quickly!

If by 'detox', you are trying to flush your system for a drug test...

First, Mr. Don't-die-of-water-intoxication is an idiot.

Yes, drinking water (lots of it) is a safer method of attempting. Water intoxication occurs when you drink too much fluids, too fast, without eliminating them. The whole idea of drinking water is so that you piss as often as possible.

When a drug is taken into the body, it is broken down and digested into microscopic wastes called metabolites. Basically, drug tests (urinalysis, usually) are aimed at detecting these metabolites in "cut-off" levels. Cut-off levels must be detected at a certain amount of metabolites per milliliter of urine. The more times you piss, the more metabolites are flushed.
The only problem is it takes a period of time for the drug to be fully processed and digested into these metabolites. So you may be able to eliminate enough in one day, but more drug is digested the next day, you see?
But drinking fluids is definitely a safe way to attempt this. Cranberry juice seems to work better for me than water.

In addition to fluid intake, you may also try taking Niacin. It is OTC and can be purchased at most local stores with pharmaceutical departments (Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, etc). Niacin flushes the system a little better, in combination with the fluid intake/release.

Summarily:

Drink fluids frequently to enable you to piss. Use good judgment - dont try to drink a whole lot at once, but rather a bit less of an amount more times.

-------

Now, if by 'detox', you mean safely "come down" from the effects of the drugs in your system (meaning you aren't trying to beat a drug test, but rather just get them out so you can feel healthier), then that is a different story.

The bumps under your arms are side-effects of methamphetamine. They are commonly called 'meth mites' by tweakers.
They will go away, provided you don't use the drug for a short period of time. Don't pick at them, I've seen people with nasty scars from doing this.
The brittle nails and hair state are also attributed to crystal. When you're tweaking out, water is being depleted from your cells. Drinking fluids and not taking the drug for a short period of time will help replentish water to your body. (You may also be experiencing extremely dry lips - another common effect).

Sleeping and getting rest will also help if it is your health you are primarily concerned with.

-------

Either way it goes man, I'd take at least a short break from the using and drinking. I relate alottt to heavy drug binges and partying alot and having to let the body heal. It will feel like **** for a little while no matter what you do, its a "natural consequence", I guess you might say. Besides, you will enjoy yourself and have alot more fun after you have your health/energy back.

Hope this helps, mate :)

Nope it`s too late sorry. Be careful not to drink too much water like these people below are telling you this could kill you from water intoxicacation. if you don`t think so google it.

Fasting ... only drink lots of spring water. Nothing less expensive, plus gives a chance to your body to rest and clears the spirit too (take up meditation, or yoga, it's cool too).
Important: don't do more than 3 days of fasting in a row. And don't do it if you have a medical condition. Don't drive and stay at home. Ask your doctor first.

lots and lots of water... i like a toot, and only on a fri,for the rest of the week i get early nights,remove make-up before bed, how about cutting down on the drugs!! i used to do pills and my skin was ****!! as for crystal meth i have no idea what that is! taking vitamin tablets... B for hair and skin and or a all in one tablet.. keep safe sounds like in a min you wont need to worry aboy detox_your be dead!!! x

your nails hair and skin reflect your in body's health and state of functioning

best thing out there is water, fresh fruit and veg, do that for a while and it will cleanse you body, getting rid of toxins and flushing out your lymphatic system
your body will be working over time to keep it function, your skin sounds very dry its probably Milli due to your skin being excessively dry and dehydrated the water will help this as well as moisturising

your body will be sluggish, get plenty rest, sleep, and balance a diet, boots do a wkly detoxes for 拢10, and you can buy cheap vitamins, but honesty water fruit and veg, do that alone and you will notice a change

you will get withdrawals hot flushes, sweats, cramps etc but its your body naturally cleansing and detoxing

alcohol damages your liver you can purchase milk thistle its a herbal remedy in tablets or liquid form take this daily and it can regenerate the liver, anyway stick to fruit, veg and water if you wan cheap, apart form that there is help available on the NHS

otheriwse your end up with liver disease if not allready so go get blood tests done

good luck for addmitting you need help, all the best and good luck!!!

i hope your gonna get off that garabge,i've lost many a friend to meth 'crack ecstasy and on ansssssd on,,it destroys your body organs..i used to do drugs when i was a lot younger,,,it has just destroyed all my body parts now i want to live 'but my body is shi-and now i have to have intestinal surgery to fix what years of abuse have done,,,,drink lots of cranberry juice as it helps to clean toxins out of systoms,,,,,,LOL

Charlene m is right. Water, vegetables, & fruits alone can detox your body at minimal cost. I preffered it organically grown & alkaline water or purified water.

Well you are spending money on the drugs so it unreasonable to expect you can detox without spending money. If you are going to continue using the drugs don't waste your time detoxing. There are loads of great books abut detoxing. I would give Anne Louise Gittlemans Fast Track Detox Diet a go. Its quick and you won't have to buy that many things to do it.
