Urine is not a dirty and toxic substance rejected by the body. Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration. Medically it is referred to as “plasma ultra filtrate”. It is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys whose principal function is not excretion but regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. Urine can be compared to leftovers from a meal, and this metaphor may help us understand why our bodies excrete elements that are valuable to our health and well-being.
Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified clean blood undergoes a filtering process in the kidneys, where excess water, salts, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibodies, urea, uric acid and other elements not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution that is urine. The function of the kidneys is to keep the various elements in the blood balanced. It is this very regulating process of the kidneys that allows us to eat and drink more than our bodies need at any one time.
Urine is considered to be a valuable source of nourishment and healing that perhaps has been too controversial or not financially rewarding enough for it to be talked about and encouraged as a potent medicine. One’s own urine, a living food, contains elements that are specific to one’s body alone. The body is constantly producing a huge variety of antibodies, hormones, enzymes and other natural chemicals to regulate and control its functions and combat imbalances that one may not be aware of.
Clinical studies have proved that the thousands of critical body chemicals and nutrients that end up in urine reflect the individual body’s functions. For a healthy and proper function of the body, re-utilized, these chemicals and nutrients as natural vaccines, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic agents as well as hormone balancers and allergy relievers. The information that urine contains therefore cannot be duplicated or derived from any other source. Just as nature produces no two people who are exactly the same, there are no two urine samples in the world that contain exactly the same components.
Don’t take this therapy lightly. Multiple sclerosis, colitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, pancreatic insufficiency, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis, adrenal failure, allergies, HIV/AIDS and so many other ailments have been relieved through use of this therapy. If you are searching for health, this is an area to investigate. Urine therapy can be a very effective healing modality. Sometimes when all else fails, urine therapy will turn a person around.
The middle stream of fresh, warm, morning urine is the most potent, and drinking it mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice is probably the fastest way to accomplish this task, although it is best not to mix urine with other foods or drinks or to take it within an hour before or after eating.
Self-urine may be used as eye drops and ear drops, in foot baths and even as effective enemas. Nose drops can help loosen mucus and clear up blocked nasal passages. Gargling with it is helpful for a sore throat, and inhaling it relieves sinus and respiratory congestion. Taken internally, it has a laxative and diuretic effect, as it cleanses the digestive tract.
Dr John Armstrong (author of The Water of Life) emphasizes the need to massage with urine. He insists that it works faster and more effectively for those who bath, massage, rube and soak in their own urine. He highly recommends it for more serious illnesses, since urine is absorbed through the skin and the hormonal and protein-based contents are slowly reabsorbed into the system, bypassing digestive juices that otherwise may have neutralized their potency. In this way, it also works as an excellent cosmetic for moisturizing and healing skin blemishes, burns and scar tissue. However, for this usage, it is preferable to use urine that is 4 – 8 days old. The smell of ammonia in the old urine is not toxic but actually beneficial if used topically only, and not taken internally.
Cancer cells release various antigens, some of which appear in the urine. Oral auto-urotherapy is suggested as a new treatment modality for cancer patients. It will provide the intestinal lymphatic system the many tumor antigens agent which antibodies may produce. These antibodies may be transpierced through the blood stream and attack the tumor and its cells.
Urine therapy has been practised for thousands of years and has merely fallen a bit into obscurity in the last century. However, urine therapy may seem to be unorthodox and perhaps evolutionary, it does not introduce anything new or original. It has been known throughout the centuries both in the West and in the East. Dr. Evagelos Danopouolos of Greece reported that urea found in urine has anti-cancerous properties. The urea seems to disrupt the ability of cancer cells to group together and kills them by upsetting some of their normal metabolic activities. Urine therapy has been used to treat cancers of the skin, cervix, lungs, eyes, breast, and liver. The first question that probably comes to mind is whether urine is not a toxic substance and how a toxic waste product could ever be of any benefit for your health. Well, urine is NOT a toxic waste product and this has been scientifically proven. 95% of urine is water, 2.5% consists of urea and the remaining 2.5% is a mixture of minerals, salt, hormones and enzymes. Toxic substances are being removed from the body through the liver and intestines, through the skin and through the outbreath…
This water of life called urine has a well-documented, proven record of its power to heal an amazing variety of ills, with no negative or harmful effects. Urine is divine nectar, with supernatural qualities. After all, as the Bible says, “the life (or life-force) of the flesh is in the blood,” and as urine comes from the blood, it contains that “life-force.” Imbibed fresh and warm, it is a living food, and a nourishing drink, that is also cleansing, as well as medicinal. Urine is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. It is used in cases of AIDS, cancer; fatigue; anemia; all sorts of urinary diseases, for weight-loss, colds and flu, Candida, diabetes, digestive problems, jaundice, etc. It is medically-proven against polio, rabies, and tuberculosis. The list of diseases for which it is effective is very long, and around 175 known diseases are said to respond to this kind of therapy. Urine therapy is truly a “panacea”
How common is the use of urine? It is used in the manufacture of hormones, diuretics, and cancer fighting drugs. As a medicine, it can be used as an extract, injected, topically and in oral applications. Scientific research on urine therapy started at the turn of the last century and continued until shortly after World War II, when drug companies realized there was more money to be made in urine extracts than in promoting its self-healing properties.
Dr. Williams states that urine is probably the most specific customized medicine you will ever have available. He refers to the remarkable story of Martha Christy, who for years suffered a long list of chronic ailments untreatable by conventional medicine. She reluctantly agreed to try urine therapy and experienced almost immediate relief. She went on to document not only her story but those of many others in her book ” Christy cited numerous medical and scientific studies that have been conducted on urine, as well as testimonials from numerous converts, and provides a good resource for understanding the benefits and supporting evidence for using urine therapy. For me the most compelling argument for trying urine therapy was its benefit in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Urine and honey prepared in a special way is one therapy that must be introduced to HIV/AIDS sufferers.
It is difficult to convince a majority of people that drinking one’s own urine can cure a number of disorders. The reason is that modern medical science has hammered it into our heads that urine is liquid containing useless and even harmful substances that have been rejected by the body. But traditionally, it has been used from time immemorial in the treatments of poison, stomach problems, and sudden blindness and in cleaning ones Aura when suspected tamped.
Generally urine is clear like pure water, or there may a tinge of yellow in it. When the quantity of urine decreases, due to hot weather or for any other reason, the concentration of substances in the urine increases, in which case it will probably be of a deeper yellow or orange color. The urine of a person suffering from jaundice is generally as yellow as turmeric, and that of a feverish person has a reddish tinge. Disorders of the kidneys or the urinary tract may cause urine to become turbid and red in color.
The urine of a healthy person is a little salty in taste. If the urine is of a more intense yellow color, it may be a little saltier in taste. If there is a reddish tinge in the urine, it may have a slightly bitter taste. Variations in the intake of solids and liquids as well as variations in the weather cause corresponding variations in the color and taste of urine.
The following are the average quantities of the various substances listed below, in urine as reported in ‘Introduction to Biochemistry’ by Dr. Pharon:
Creatinin nitrogen 36.00. Urea, nitrogen 682.00. Urea 1459.0 Uric acid nitrogen 12.30 Uric acid 36.90. Amino nitrogen 9.70. Ammonia nitrogen 57.00 Sodium // 212.00. Potassium // 137.00. Calcium // 19.50. Magnesium 11.30, Chloride314.00 Total sulphate 91.00. Inorganic sulphate 83.00. Inorganic phosphate 127.00. Acid 27.80
Some other important constituents of urine are as follows: Enzymes, Amylase (diastase), Lactic dehydrogenate (L. D. H.), Leucine amino-peptidase (L. A. P.), Urokinase. Hormones, Catechol amines, Hydroxy-steroids, 17-Catosteroids, Erythropoietine, Adenylate cyclase, Prostaglandins, Sex hormones. Copper, Urobilinogen. As it has been pointed out, there is a strong possibility of there being several other beneficial substances not yet know to science, in addition to the above substances, present in urine.Urokinase, an enzyme present in urine, prevents the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, and is even capable of dissolving clots already formed. When such blood clots obstruct the flow of blood in the blood vessels of the heart a heart attack may occur. Dr. Mezel of the Edgewater Hospital of Chicago, IL USA, injects urokinase into the bodies of victims of heart attacks thus aborting the attack and saving the life of the patient.
Dr. Salaria, an eminent surgeon of Ahmedabad, Gugjarat, India, too makes it a practice to give an injection of the patients own urine before undertaking surgery so as to forestall any risk of overburdening or harming the heart during or after the operation. The hormone, erythropoietine, one of the substances usually present in urine, stimulates the bone marrow to increase the rate of production of erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles). This is the reason why a patient of anemia derives substantial benefit from auto-urine therapy. Another hormone present in urine, adenylate cyclase, co-ordinates the actions of all hormones in the body through the production of a substance known as cyclic A. M. P. Prostaglandin is a hormone that is essential for the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Many scientists are of the opinion that this hormone can act as a contraceptive. Urine contains sex hormones, insulin and growth hormones as well.
In addition to the above, one must not lose sight of the high probability of the presence of urine and many substances which are as yet unknown to science. All the beneficial substances are present in urine is very finely divided and highly potentised forms. As a result they are quickly absorbed from the stomach and the intestines within a short time following the imbibing of urine. And despite the extremely small quantities in which they are present in the urine, they have been found to be of great benefits to the body.
Urine supplements the essential nutrients and makes up the deficiency of any nutrient in the body. Urine contains highly active enzymes that have a salutary effect on all the physiological reaction taking place in the body. Urine contains valuable salts necessary for the body. (The well-known and widely prevalent ‘Biochemical’ therapeutic system uses just twelve salts to cure any and every disease). The hormones contained in urine are of great benefit to the body. Urine possesses bactericidal properties. It therefore destroys the disease-causing bacteria in the body, especially those infesting the digestive tract. The substances present in the urine augment and sharpen the body’s natural powers of resistance to disease. The substance called ‘urea’ present in urine is a diuretic and increases the efficiency of the kidneys. Urine is a tonic that strengthens the body, and an ‘elixir’.
Ayurveda and other ancient works on medicinal science have accorded their approval to the drinking of urine as a therapeutic measure. Ayurveda regards urine as an effective antidote against harmful substances. It is believed by some researchers that urine acts like a vaccine, promoting the generation of antibodies that fight and cause disorders, thus resisting and curing diseases.
The sum and substance of the above discussion is that urine has an undoubtedly salutary effect on the body, but that the details of exactly how it acts in the body have not yet been worked out sufficiently clearly to command universal agreement among the experts.
How far would it be proper to recommend or adopt a remedy, the mode of action of which has not yet been completely understood? The answer to this objection is simple and straightforward. To this day the mode of action of a number of drugs and therapeutic procedures such as aspirin, acupuncture, electric shock treatment, etc., has not been worked out satisfactorily. But this in no way reduces their efficacy. The doctor knows well what effects aspirin will produce in the body after being ingested orally, and accordingly prescribes (which in fact the world consumption of aspirin exceeds the consumption of any other drug!) for the patient as and when necessary. Knowledge of its mode of action is not essential for the doctor. In the same way, innumerable experiments have established the actual effect of auto-urine on the body. It has always been found to have favorable effects
HOW TO START. Collect the Urine you pass after rising each morning, rejecting a little at the beginning and the end. The amount, colour and taste will vary according to your diet and lifestyle. It should be clear and golden and taste like straw if your diet is good, although some foods colour and flavour it. Immediately drink it. You may then take a little water to follow. Do not eat for at least half an hour after drinking. You may start by taking a small amount (as little as a few drops in some warm water) then increasing the amount gradually.
Your body Constitution determines the effects that urine has on you. Some types get great benefit from the practice, while others can get excellent results also, but some types may not notice as much. Those in the change-over periods of teenage and menopause years will benefit greatly. Those older than 40 years will also benefit greatly
Urine is used as a cleanser, skin tonic and to treat infections, wounds, and skin diseases. The whole body can be massaged or just part. Do not use soaps, shampoos etc. when doing urine massage.
Three strategies for external use…
1. Use fresh urine for skin treatment. This is best not left on for too long. The Damar Tantra says that fresh urine will cause muscle wasting if left on the skin. Use for disinfecting wounds, and treating skin disorders. It can be used for a short massage and then should be washed off immediately with warm water.
2. Use aged urine for cleaning… Collect, place in a dark bottle, stopper and keep for at least four days in a cool, dark place. This has a strong odour and contains ammonia. It is an excellent cleaner and also a disinfectant. Ancient peoples used this for washing clothes and bodies. Do not use this for massage, use only for washing yourself. Rinse off with water immediately as it is mildly caustic.
3. Use boiled urine for massage… Collect your urine, and then boil in a stainless steel pot until reduced to 25% of original volume. This is light and fine and excellent for massage. It can be left on for as long as you like. Urine left for a long time is an excellent cancer and diabetic wound healer.
