The
About.com urban legends forum has a thread going about auto-urine therapy, which translates into 'drinking your own urine'. Is there really a thriving urine-drinking subculture? Well, yes. As the poster points out, all you have to do is google 'drinking your own urine' and you get all kinds of hits. The reason urine-drinking has so many fans is that it's supposed to offer numerous health benefits, including improving the immune system, giving you nice skin, acting great as a gargle if you have gum disease, and having very powerful anti-aging properties. I think I've mentioned before somewhere on my site that I have personal experience with this urine-drinking subculture. NOT that I've ever drunk the stuff myself (and I definitely never plan to). But I do have a relative who, according to family scuttlebutt, used to do it. She was into all the new-age, alternative medicine stuff like that. In her defense I have to say that she's now approaching 90 and is still in excellent health. In fact, she could probably pass for a sixty-year old. So maybe there's something to it (though I've still got no plans to try it out). I'm actually going to her house on Christmas day for dinner. I don't plan to sample the apple juice in her fridge.

There are numerous benefits to urine therapy. Some are physical/physiological and some are psychological. It is impossible to separate them.
I began with drinking in 1991 while in India. I wanted to test the waters and see if it would help my travellers diarrhea. I was surprised that it did and I felt a little high from it.
Nothing like an affordable high that allowed me to travel without incidents. I continued and it helped to lift a mild chronic depression. I was hoping it would cure my allergies. It did not.
But later I was able to control my allergic reactions with small injections of my own urine.
I have found to the most appropriate use of the stuff to be is rubbing it on the skin. It is good to use the fresh stuff or if you can tolerate it, some that has ripened. The skin immune system is accesible in ways we don't understand yet. The skin converts uv light to vitamin d... and it seems to me it also converts urine to better health. Unfortunately, in order for a person to take advantage of this aspect of the therapy, they have to have something much more valuable than urine and also something much scarer: TIME.
If you ever have the time and a suitable place, I recommend that you suit up.... that is strip down to your birthday suit... and rub a cupful of your pee on your skin. Don't rinse it off for awhile. Let it percolate through. If possible don't rinse it for 5 or 6 hours. Notice how it makes you feel. It should give you a real boost. It is not something I can explain.
Its a real mystery and a nice one as well.
Happy Travels.

since the age i realized i had toes, (about 3 years old) i would look at them and wonder why they were so DARK and brittle. i didnt ask my mom about them, i just figured they were supposed to be that way.
It wasnt until i was about 37 years old that i realized that i actually had a nail fungus, and i didnt know this until i seen a commercial for Lamasil (you know the one with the weird looking talking fungus on it?).
So i asked my doctor for a sample of the Lamisil and in a few days time, my toes actually started clearing up! i couldnt believe it!! but the stuff is a VERY strong drug and i chose to just put up with my toes being dark, until i did some research on urine therapy
One of the many things that urine therapy is purported to remedy is nail fungus, so for the past week i have been drinking after first a sip and now up to 1.5 ounces of urine 3-6 times a day, and guess what? MY NAIL FUNGUS IS CLEARING UP! toes that had pitch black nails on them now are turning PINK! im also putting urine on my face, which seems to be clearing up my acne and is stopping new acne from appearing. so look at me with disgust if you want to, but im very happy that im using something natural and free to get rid of a fungus i have had my entire life!
I have been trying to get my wife to allow me to drink her urine alas to no avail. Do you have suggestions on how I can accomplish this? I am a very strong proponent of urine massage!!!
Urokinase
"Urokinase (Abbokinase) is the fibrinolytic agent most familiar to interventional radiologists and the one that has been used most often for peripheral intravascular thrombus. At the time of this writing, urokinase is not available from the manufacturer. Its availability in the immediate future is not known. In the meantime, the FDA has encouraged the off-label use of reteplase and alteplase for local-regional lysis of venous and arterial thrombus at any location.
Urokinase is a physiologic thrombolytic agent that is produced in renal parenchymal cells. Unlike streptokinase, urokinase directly cleaves plasminogen to produce plasmin. When purified from human urine, approximately 1500 L of urine are needed to yield enough urokinase to treat a single patient. Urokinase is also commercially available in a form produced by tissue culture, and recombinant DNA techniques have been developed for urokinase production in E coli cultures.
In plasma, urokinase has a half-life of approximately 15 minutes. Allergic reactions are rare, and the agent can be administered repeatedly without antigenic problems."
It is better to go out with friends and do sensible things and talk about sensible things.
What you really need is what is called "living water" that gives eternal life . see in the Bible John 4:10
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If you like dissolve a vitamin C tablet in a glass of water and drink that.
I found another technical data site that has results of various experiments. I think it is mostly trying to justify using urea in sugar-free chewing gum.
Some of it is very technical. An extract I copied mentions excitement as a toxic reaction. It isn't specific about what type of excitement. Too much urea certainly sounds dangerous though.
http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v32je16.htm
80 patients were hospitalized after ingestion of urea
fertilizer mistaken for table salt. The symptoms observed were
nausea, persistent violent vomiting, excitement, and severe general
convulsions. Complete recovery of all patients was observed within
a few days (Steyn, 1961).
The other couple of links I posted before were to websites and not the actual articles. So you have to do your own searches from information

I really dream to drink it.
I had very nice flawless skin until a few years ago. I have tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. Well, they seem to work for just a few days and bam!! the acne comes back in full swing.
Although I dont think I can bring myself to drink my own urine yet, I intend to start using it on my face to get rid of my acne.
I'll post my finding when I start on it.
There are guys who piss directly into their own mouths, as a seXual turn on-(which I must admit is pretty hot to see!)
But what about consuming somebody else urine though??
There's a reason you pee in the first place
"Urban legend"?
In Europe, at least, this has been known for many generations. I learnt about it from my grandmother, and she learnt it from her grandmother. My grandmother's skin and hair at age 74, when I last saw her before moving far away, was the envy of many women.
The same is true of my own skin and hair.
Using urine daily instead of tonics and creams certainly hasn't damaged it, as far as I can see.
I am very healthy anyway, so I don't know how NOT drinking urine would have affected my health. In the past fifteen years it certainly hasn't harmed it.
The squeamishness of people, not to mention their ignorance, is the funniest of all.
They gobble jello - made from dead cows' bones - and smear their faces with cosmetic creams containing cow's piss, but they are afraid of their own urine?
And how does this qualify as a "hoax", anyway?
I am sorry for all those who are victims of their own mental limitations.
But I have learnt that is about as much as I can do.
After being a devotee of the role of the "Super-successful-young-alpha-male" (James Bond style, you know)
Last year, at the age of 29, I've had the shingles.
Yes, your "lovely" western medics will say its RARE. That usually its only OLD people. Or people with low immune systems (Like cancer or aids) Then they'll rush into giving you that Zovirax or that injection.
Some reading online will make you find out that its just another lie. Their Chickenpox vaccine is "In-directly" responsible for a growing phenomena of YOUNGER PEOPLE WITH SHINGLES. Why? How? well, Shingles / Herpes zoster is the same virus as the Chicken Pox, hence since there are hardly any kids around with chickenpox in the western world;
There is hardly any exposure, and without the slightest exposure our bodies CAN'T develop Any antibodies to that virus. So we become PRONE TO IT MUCH YOUNGER AGE.
Either way, a Shingles outbreak Shingles can torture even the strongest . It can depress the most optimistic, happiest person you've ever met. It can destroy any desire to live.
After putting on that "Zovirax" cream and waiting for 4 days the shingles were gone,
And it seemed like there's a cure.
A year after I was suffering another "RARE" incident of Recurring shingles, this time the pain was back in the same place, with the same symptoms and I wanted to kill myself.
So, just before I took the plunge I decided to give it a try. This was 3 days ago. Without any fear or shame. With heaps of the most excruciating pain, I've drank my own piss.
The pain vanished. Completely the NEXT DAY.
Placebo? Maybe.
Guy with a white suit who escaped an asylum? Maybe.
You might be right, either way, thanks to this website and others documenting testimonials Its gone, no more pain. I'm going to keep on doing it. (Did the mid stream thing, orally, and didn't go all diet-maniac which means kept on smoking and drinking for a bit)
So the sum this comment up,
You might be right about me being crazy, but you've OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAD SHINGLES PAIN. Hopefully, you never will too.
If you do happen to be one of the unfortunates, let this be an interest-free encouragement to a mind opening experience. It's cheaper than zovirax, and from someone who tried BOTH, this worked faster and more effectively for me (If you're in pain now than drink / rub it on NOW, avoid waiting for Tommorow morning's mid-stream)
(there's no benefit for me by doing this. Other than keeping the balance and passing on the knowledge that was given to me)
