Detoxify Poison

Detoxify Poison, or Cure Poison, was a Control-based Force power that allowed a Force-user to detoxify poisons or eject them from their body in a much shorter amount of time than would normally be possible. It could also be used to cleanse their body of alcohol, allowing the individual to remain sober while consuming vast amounts of the drink. The power typically required extended concentration by the user and was limited to only removing the present and future effects of the poisons in one's system; past damage was not healed.

While commonly associated with the Jedi and their practice of the light side, this ability was not the exclusive domain of those who clung to the light. During a meeting with Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, Count Dooku made use of this power to rid himself of the Karatos Plague that Fett had used to poison him. Cade Skywalker used this power to resist the Ixetal cilona administered by Darth Maladi. Maladi later commented that the power was similar to powers used by the Sith. Indeed, Darth Sidious knew Sith Magic to defeat poison, and had to use this power when he was poisoned with Aorth-6 during the Gentis Coup in the same year he became Emperor.
