Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now before you say "That's gross mate, you don't want to drink that crap" please read this article: http://www.universal-tao.com/article/urine_therapy.html


I'm planning to do it. Just logged on gaia online and thought "Hey I wonder if any of the hippies do this?" so I thought i'ld make a topic.

wow. wait, would you be using your own or someone else's. i heard the japanese did that when they had a famine or something

So you looked at the article? How about this one? http://www.biomedx.com/urine/

I don't think I could ever do that...sounds like quite the experience though.

On one hand, people have been drinking their own urine for centuries in various parts of the world. On the other hand, I would definitely not drink my pee. Unless it made me trip out. Or if someone paid me to do it, maybe. Or if I was trapped underground, and couldn't find gnomes to eat.

Just kidding about the gnomes thing.
Gnomes are not for eating.

WE'LL HAVE NO TALK OF SUCH VILE CREATURES HERE!


Arr you didn't read the article.

"Early urine is not toxic, although some toxic substances might be present in urine in small amounts, especially if one is ill. This small amount of toxic substances possibly contributes to the effectiveness of urine therapy. If toxic substances enter the body, body's defence mechanisms are called into action (the immune system). If substances which leave the body via the urine are the same as those involved in the illness process, they can stimu-late the defence system to attack and in this way fight the illness. This might explain why urine therapy has proven so helpful in treating allergies. The practise of drinking and massaging with urine allows antibodies greater ac-cess to the body, which stimulates the immune system. Applying urine to a fresh cut or scrape prevents infection and keeps flies away (important in coun-tries with a warm climate). Urine compresses from fresh or old urine help to combat infections and often cause them to disappear. Although urine does not entirely prevent the growth of bacteria in the urethra (infections often arise), it clearly has a pow-erful antiseptic effect when externally applied. "

Edit: For those wondering it's going great. I'm more calmer, my skin's healing(I have acne), my body's feeling better, my mind's more clarified and whenever I drink it it's like a shot of discipline. I'm also becoming less negative.

Nah you didn't seem hard and I know your reasons. Yeah I found it on the web anc checked out a bunch of other websites about it too. It's not a joke, I'm not getting worse i'm getting better like I said. I've got a cut that was infected on my chin that's healing as a result of this treatment. It was pretty bad but it's healing without the aid of creams. Usually a Placebo effect can happen but I believed certain things would help when I first got Acne but they didn't. So a combination of urine therapy and hope is probably helping me out, actually i'ld say hope lead me to urine therapy. I was sorting your quote out but I left it for awhile and had to log back in and lost what I typed. I did look into this more after I read it about two weeks ago and found out that it's been used in pharmacuticals that have grossed alot of profit(one grossing $300 million). I didn't just go in blindly I did my research. Medical doctors aren't trained in that sorta thing. They're trained in antibiotics and perscription. Alot of the information i've gotten how old urine is good for skin but not for drinking and how immediatly going into it can make your body sick aswell as how 4 pm is the best time to collect your first urine along with how a healing crisis is expected has helped me to build my own plan for this treatment. As for your comment about viruses and bacteria, the urine doesn't contain any viruses or bacteria that really could harm us because those have already been filtered out by the liver. And the remaining ones are the ones that the body should fight with the help of urine therapy. Oh yeah, intuition played a part in this too.
