I know someone who swears by this. YUUUCKK!!  I think I'd rather get old.
 
She said:

Now it's time to take a risk and start. Forget all the thoughts that you have connected with urine since the beginning of your life. The next time you have to go to the bathroom, hold your index finger in the stream of urine. Let the liquid drip off a little and smell it. Don't be afraid: I promise you, you won't smell a thing!

Now, can you gather up even a little more courage? Then rub some of the urine on the back of your hand and wait as long as you can before you wash your hands again. You will discover that no odor will develop on your skin either. The moistened area, however, will feel softer and smoother.

Are you even more courageous? Then touch your urine-covered finger with your tongue -- just very quickly. Does it taste salty? That's normal. The morning urine is especially bitter. The more fluid you take in during the day, the more "mild" the taste of urine.

She went on and on...to the point of instructing me on how to collect my morning urine and proceed to drink it or if  I couldn't work up the nerve to do that to pour some on my orange juice or coffee. I think the whole thing reeks!

Would you give urine therapy a go. {slightly disgusted here} :|

    I kid you not my friends. I thought she was pulling my leg but it seems that urine therapy is something many people actually practice.
     
    Some of the many benefits of Urine therapy have been touted as a remedy for a long list of ailments, including multiple sclerosis, colitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis, and adrenal failure. It is a commonly used treatment for snakebites and bee and jellyfish stings. Childhood illnesses such as acute flu, colds, viral infections, mumps, chicken pox, and allergies are also said to be alleviated by urine therapy. Urine is an ingredient in Pergonal, a fertility drug, and in pharmaceuticals used to dissolve blood clots. It helps those affected by AIDS.
     
    It is also being called the fountain of youth by some. It makes your skin all nice and soft. It seems there are many ways to use urine. I found this online. You can:
    drink it, fast with it, gargle it , make an enema out of it or a vaginal douche bag, as an eye or ear drop, sniff it , massage or rub it into your skin, compress and even use as a hair and scalp massage.
     
    Don't believe me, read for yourself.
     
    I didn't know this was around. Did any of you? I just can't see my self using urine for anything. I get the jellyfish sting...I've heard that one, but as a hair and scalp massage?? Now that is a shampoo just waiting to happen... LOL...oops I just gagged a little.

    I'd like to know where garbage like this gets started.  I have a suspicion it starts with someone who is perhaps a bit self-punishing, maybe like those self-flagellating religious people.

    Just listen to silverwhisper, though.  It is a waste product, not a therapy!
  • ALIENated said on Mar 01, 2007....
    I saw something about this on one of the crime dramas I watch. I cannot
    remember which one. So some people must be doing it. I have heard that 
    some coal miners got trapped and had to drink their urine for two or three
    weeks until they were rescued. When they came out, they all looked years
    younger... sorry. I just made that up. What a bunch of crap, I think. I
    know some jerk who was tricking everyone into drinking piss from a beer 
    bottle when I was a kid. We were at a party, early teens, and this older
    guy would get you in the restroom and offer you a drink of his beer.
    I am still waiting to see that guy again so I can kick his ass. (He was
    older and bigger than me then.) It did not taste good. The minute it
    hit my lips, I knew what it was. Believe me, I would not be able to get
    it down. Yuk.

    Now that is utterly gross.  If it works for some then ok. I don't want to know who is doing this.  I feel there is a reason why our bodies gets rid of things.
     
    My mom was big on old wives tells and believed urine could cure earaches.  I had a lot of ear aches and my mom wanted to put it in my ear.  I said, "No way, I get teased enough at school.  I don't need someone calling me Pisshead."   One time I had a really bad earache and she put something in my ear and I thought it was warm oil as that is what she did a lot of times.  I asked her what she put in my ear and she said, "Urine"  arrrg.  I don't know if she did or not, she might have been teasing me. That is so gross.

    Only if I were dying and had no source of water! Urine is sterile but with all the things I've seen flying out of my Cooch no way only if in the state I described above. That is life or death and under neccessity!
     
    Your friend is nuts but what ever floats her boat!
  • husbandhater said on Mar 02, 2007....
    Oh wait and the cooch and dick's of others( my Patients) Dude these people have everything from blood to parasites in their urine so the thought alone grosses me out!
  • allaroundgirl said on Mar 02, 2007....
    hh, I've read about people drinking their urine when there is no source of water and they are stranded somewhere. I guess, I ever found myself in that situation, and desperatly needed water then I would consider it...wait, maybe I could cry and cry and cry and drink my tears...Oh well, I hope I never find myself considering drinking my urine, I'd have a hard time getting it past my mouth.

    oh good lord--I've heard of this but just the idea of it makes me really ill.  I'm just not a fan of human waste products of any kind...shit, piss, boogers.....snot....any of that bullshit.  It's just gross.

    I dont think it is something I would just do to try it, however I am a firm believer in the saying... "you do what you have to do" (yuck)
  • kruuyai said on Mar 26, 2007....
    Oh wow!  I can't believe you took my idea!  I've had this on my list of stuff to write about for a long time, and never got around to it.  I know a medical doctor in Mexico who has been drinking a glass of his own urine for 8 years.  He swears by it.  He said it has to be the first urine of the morning.   He said that for about the first two weeks that you do it, you feel awful.  Then, you start feeling much, much better and you maintain optimal health.  This guy is about 50 and is a chain smoker and he never coughs.  And I've never known him to be sick.  I've been meaning to research it a little more since he told me that about a year and a half ago, but as you can see, it hasn't been a priority.  If I saw enough research to back up the claims, I might be willing to try it.

    Scan the posts here and you will see the only people that advocate urine therapy (using it internally and externally) are the ones that have experience with it. Now just what would a thinking person surmise from that? I've used urine therapy for about 5 years and it is great. There are so many advantages to it I could go on for pages. Of all the health improvements I've done (raw foods, heavy cardio, strength training, veganism, fasting, elimination of ALL processed foods, mono eating), urine therapy is by far the easiest. If your urine tastes bad, its because your insides are a mess. Because you are eating slop. Clean up your diet and your life, and your urine will be quite neutral tasting. An interesting discovery the other day: I didn't want to bring a lot of water to the gym and wanted to run there (its quite a distance) and water is heavy which destroys the enjoyment of the run (don't have a hydration pack). So I tried drinking a lot of water before hand. I probably had about 2 liters over a period of about an hour or so. This was my off day at the gym so I wasn't going to do any cardio or strength training. Just relax in the jacuzzi, steam room and stretch in the pool. Well I stayed in the steam room way longer than the others, and as soon as I needed to pee I drank the whole thing. It almost didn't have any taste at all - almost clear. Anyway, I kept on drinking urine every time I had to pee. I went for more than 2 hours, sweating profusely, between the jacuzzi, steamroom and pool and was never in the slightest bit thirsty. I've been going to swimming pools for decades and always have to bring copious amounts of water. Usually about a liter an hour when I'm in steam rooms/saunas/jacuzzis. So its something I've had a little experience with (done it thousands of times). Even when I got home I had no desire for water. What is interesting is the amount of urine I drank while there, was much less than the amount of water I would normally ingest. It must be that the urine replaces crucial salts that are lost when sweating. If anybody else has any other ideas why this occurs, please comment. I had a similar thing happen when outside in the hot sun doing sports in the summer. Drank some urine because I had not brought water (I never drink tap water) and wasn't thirsty at all. I got to wonder how long it would be before I "ran out". Hours, days? How long before one needs a fresh supply of liquids? I should try it sometime. The water I drink is always distilled (like rain water in a non-polluted world). Read about urine fasting. There are probably more amazing claims (from people selling nothing) than with any other natural/non-invasive therapy. Many terminal diseases and situations have been averted by urine fasting. People don't die from diseases: People die from a closed mind. Here's the irony: Most people would rather die than try something new. And they most certainly will. And WAY before their time. You could replace almost an entire pharmacy with your own urine. Sunscreen, contact lens rinse, brushing your teeth, toothaches, sore gums, removing earwax, burns, rashes, itches and a myriad more external applications benefit from urine. Bathing in aged urine is one of life's most soothing experiences. Tearing something done when you have no experience in that field is one of the most foolish and ignorant things one can ever do. Oh - all the health improvements all enhance each other. Heavy cardio, strength training, urine therapy, fasting (water or urine/water), veganism, raw foods (lots of sprouting), mono eating all compliment each other. That's got to tell you something. I'm about 50 years old and have been trying different health angles for over 30 years. Recently I've had someone ask me if I'm still in university. Same waisline (31") all my life. When I tell them my age, people are shocked. But what they should be shocked at is how old most of the public looks, not how relatively young I look. Take a look at North American street scene photographs from 50 years ago. See the wrinkles in lots of the faces? But where are the heavy people? Almost everybody is slim. Our collective health as a society is fast declining. Now 99% of the public is not lean - not at their optimum weight. Because lean is optimum. If you've never been down to 5% body fat or so (for men, a little higher for women) you just don't know what you're missing. Think of all the greatest accomplishments you've ever done. Chances are you were hungry for those things and persevered untll you got them. Hunger is one of the greatest things we have at our disposal. Eating when you're not hungry is one of the most destructive health habits one can engage in. If you can't control yourself, at least control your children. And observe their improvements. That will be a telling reminder as to the wisdom of your experiments.
