False-positives do exist and are a very real threat. There has been plenty research done, plenty has been written on the subject. Many drug-testing procedures ask you to list any medications you may be taking. This is because of the risk of creating a false-positive. There are other causes as unitedpilot points out in above post. A false-positive is not Sharp's creation as you imply.

Also, they are many many products available designed to flush toxins from your system. Many supplements, such as Milk Thistle, naturally clean the liver, for example. Cranberries have been known to clear the urinary tract and so on. There is a large market for cleansing products which have nothing to do with drug testing. There are also body-cleansing diets, such as the lemon diet and other fasts. Toxins in the body are known causes of disease. In fact, anything organic is a hot item today for this very reason. People are searching for ways to live longer and staying healthy by reducing toxins in the body. Nothing voodoo about it.
