Drinking your own urine for health benifits

kjl · 07-04-2013 08:07PM #1

Ok so I just came accross this and think it's a little weird.

They say that drinking ones urine can help with illnesses and that humans should be drinking about 2 cups a day

The rationale behind urine therapy is quite simple and persuasive. Urine is believed to be a byproduct of blood filtration. It is NOT excess water that is released by the body. When blood filled with nutrients pass through the liver, the toxins are filtered out and are excreted as solid waste. The purified blood then travels to the kidney where excess nutrients are eliminated from the body. The medical name of urine is Plasma Ultrafiltrate. 95% of this liquid is water and the rest is a mixture of nutrients, urea, minerals, enzymes, antibodies and hormones.

There is also a claim that the reason this is not more well know is because drug companies don't want you to have access to a free source of medicine.

I think the idea of not drinking urine is so ingrained into our system from society that people would not be able to convert, even if it was found to have extreme health benefits.

Taking it and drinking it by the looks of things. Look after your piss.

Might as well buy some mystic magnets and some holy water while you are at it.

Look I know the immaturity level in this thread is high, but please read my post, the first line said that I think it's weird.

Excess nutrients is the key. As in, more than the body can absorb. Pi55 would never be 100% water. So there'd always be an excess, and never any point in drinking pi55. I prefer my excess in the form of tasty food.

Why don't you try it OP?
Let us know how you get on...

Piss off Bear Grylls, ya crazy bastard

There's too much sodium in urine to drink it everyday, apparently once a week is good (or so I've heard).

Drinking your own urine is a shortcut to kidney failure, a really slow and painful death.
Piss is on the 'do not drink' list in the army hand book.

Homeopathic urine therapy dilutes the urine with distilled water and this diluted solution is placed under the tongue till there is a reduction in symptoms.

I would imagine you still drink plenty of water throughout the day, not on it's own.

Not Barry's though. Might as well be drinking pi55.

I'm sure your kidneys wouldn't be too happy to see the crap they threw out the day before is back again with friends.

I trust my body knows what it's doing and if it wants stuff out of the body why would I go and put it back in?
