Uva Ursi is pretty potent as far as herbal remedies go, its actually banned in some of the natty federations. Combined with dandelion like Sassy stated, you can make your own cheap version of Xpell or Taraxatone

Diuretics can very dangerous, and no, that is no myth, especially when you have inexperienced, desperate competitors looking for that last minute quick fix and end up resorting to drastic measures to make weight...I am referring to Intravenous lasix in particular.

As a nurse, I am going to have to put in my two sense on diuretics. People that take lasix are complete idiots prior to a competition. Especially if they decide to push it IV. Lasix is a powerful drug used for people with pulmonary HTN, fluid in the lungs, third spacing, and so forth. It also is NOT K+ (potassium) sparring. SO when you take it, its going to push all your K+ out of your body. This will cause cramps but most importantly will FUCK up your heart. When taking lasix you should have vital sign monitored frequently and in some cases in the hospital, we hook those patients up to heart monitors.
Personally, I use maxide, which is the same thing as diazide. But aldactone also falls in this catagory. Still they can be dangerous drugs when used in excess, but they are K+ sparring. So you shouldn't get as many cramps and it shouldn't mess with your heart as bad.
