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.
Maybe there is a legitimate marketplace for the items he is selling, however it tip toes around the notion of ensuring a clean drug test by cleansing the body. Like it or not, it implies a method that will positively influence the results of a federally mandated drug test.
It is the equivalent of an individual creating a plastic handgun that is said to be made from biodegradable materials while being lightweight and easier to shoot. I would bet the TSA would REALLY be interested in such a device, and rightfully so.
There a certain things in life people should not tip toe around, and this pilot should have known better regardless of when he got involved his company.
