Drinking piss: a secret panacea

#1  Postby burntheact » Jul 14, 2011 5:25 am

I know a few people who practice 'urine therapy'-aka drinking their urine, and rubbing it on themselves and their pets. They claim it cures everything from stomach aches to cancer. I've seen it used as ear drops as well O.O Science doesn't want anyone to know though because there is a conspiracy to make money. :dance: Anyway they claim to have lots of proof on the subject. They have one book published by "CCR" on the health benefits of drinking pee. A bunch of books written by various authors. Here is one that strikes my interest http://www.amazon.com/Book-Aquarius-Alc ... nskepti-20


I have no idea what to make of this as I'm no scientist. I think all of this is laughable, but he insists that he has proof and yada yada. What do you all think of drinking your own urine? Is it the philosophers stone?

Read this : http://skepdic.com/urine.html

Urine therapy is bollocks. As the article says, if it cures everything, then why do we need so many different chemicals that are not present in urine to cure illnesses?

I am very happy for these people; they provide a yardstick for just what lengths people will go to when deluded.

Well, I don't know about rubbing it elsewhere but.......
For half of my life I had really stinky feet, till I started pissing on them in the shower. I've been doing it for 25 years or so and if I go a week or so without doing it, they start to stink again. I never have to fear having to take my shoes off in public.

Look, of course you can drink it because it's good for you.

But frankly, i don't believe that. I just like the taste. :cheers:

Have you people learnt anything ? You have to use serial dilution to at least a 30C so that the molecular memory of your urine causes the power of your piss to increase.

The easiest way to do this is to piss in the toilet and then a year later drink the water from the tap. The water cycle of the Mother Earth will have potentiated your pee for you.

The solitary review's also amusing.

Surely it's waste product, so contains nothing but stuff your body doesn't need.

I went to a festival when I was 6 months pregnant and couldn't use the portaloos at the campsite cos they were so foul. So I was peeing in plastic pint pots and my SO was chucking it for me. I'd got a bit dehydrated, it was disgusting :yuk:

But that assumes your body is efficient at sorting out what it needs from what it doesn't.
