I read somewhere that it is called protein-urea. When I eat fish and meat the same things happen to me. Then I wonder if I am drinking enough pure water.Replied By Rosy (Orlando, Fl) on 03/02/2009
Urine is another way your body will rid it's self of waist. You might smell coffee in your urine, because coffee is a diuretic, and causes you to release your body's liquids. This happens with loss stool and urine. It might be the acids in the coffee you smell. Also look at the color. If it has a lot of uric acid it will be darker. If it looks like water, you might be drinking too much water. Urine should have a light yellow color and nuetral scent. Water-soluble vitamins also affect urine. B vitamins are really strong in urine. It turns mine florescent yellow, and very strong scented.Replied By Ellen (Los Angeles, CA) on 03/02/2009
I've noticed that my pee smells disgusting if I drink a can of soda with corn syrup or something from Starbucks where they add powder to it, like a vanilla chai latte. Probably anything over 20 grams of sugar causes it. I checked the sugar content on one of vanilla packets they sell separately at Starbucks, I saw that one scoop contains a ridiculous amount of sugar. So for me, too much sugar and my pee smells gross. I have also walked into a bathroom stall at the office and smelled the same strong scent from one of my co-workers more times than I can tell you. I have never confirmed if she drank something with a ton of sweetener in it though. ha ha... can you imagine? Ummm, excuse me, did you just drink a coke with 42 grams of sugar? How did I know? Well, I can smell it in your pee!Replied By Mark (Las Vegas, NV) on 05/17/2009
Response to Rosy: "If it looks like water, you might be drinking too much water. Urine should have a light yellow color and neutral scent."This is NOT correct. It's very difficult to drink too much water. Everyone should have half of their body weight in ounces of water every day. So if your 150lbs that 75 ounces of water a day. If your urine is clear when you are drinking that amount of water that's fine.
Now I don't do urine therapy but if you do then when you drink that much water your urine might not be that potent for therapy which is why I suspect that they say use first urine of the day as it is more concentrated.
Also if you are drinking the correct amount of water you need to make sure you are getting enough sodium and other minerals/electrolytes especially in the heat.

I have done UT on and off for over 10 years. It was hard to do to begin with but eventually you get to like the taste. One of the things that I noticed is that if you drink it every time you urinate, the taste will change during the day. When doing a urine fast (3-7 days) the taste changes dramatically. The end taste can be very close to glucose, which I found very nice. Another thing that I found is that if you don't drink enough water during the day, or you consume too much sugar or alcohol the morning urine will be quite disgusting to taste and may put you off. I drank mine every day continuously for over a year and some days it was an extremely nasty "chore" to get the first one down. It soon teaches you what not to eat and to make sure you drink enough water during the day. My wife thinks I am a whacko for doing it, but I am very healthy, with few if any health problems. She, on the other hand has many health problems, but still will not even consider doing any of the things I do.Replied By D.rob (Nyc, Ny) on 12/03/2011
Urine is in fact not a waste product. Among other things urine is water that has been filtered through your body and naturally structured. It's worth doing an online search for the seemingly endless benefits of consuming structured water. Urine is your own structured water which has retained the nutrients, vitamins, etc. that your body was currently UNABLE TO USE.
Urination is not the excretion of a by product of used and destroyed materials as is feces. Urine is a holographic representation of your unique biochemical makeup. Our bodies are constantly working to maintain homeostasis. Like any effective feedback loop, our bodies need information on what it has produced previously in order to update and improve its current conditions.
Ingesting your own urine closes the information feedback loop which informs your body of what's currently missing and what it needs to produce to achieve and maintain homeostasis. With information on what you're lacking or may have in excess your body goes to work producing or slowing production of whatever it needs to create a perfect biochemical balance.
Our bodies are natural chemical factories. Many internal and external health issues result from biochemical/hormonal imbalances. UT is your body's most comprehensive and effective means of assessing and correcting itself. This is why Ut is so effective for so many different issues.
Many people who've survived longterm hardships without food and/or water but have ingested their own urine have been found in unexpectedly excellent health.

Hi everyone, I have found that drinking, gargling and sniffing fresh urine through the nostrils all help greatly with things like colds, sore throat, excess mucus etc. I recently learned that fermented urine was used in the past by Buddhist monks as medicine. I have spent a long time searching online for details on the correct way to ferment urine but found nothing. I am wondering if aged urine, kept in a sealed jar for a few days has fermented? or is it possible to lacto-ferment urine in the same way as can be done with cabbage juice, by adding whey and leaving for a day or two. Any suggestions? It strikes me that fermented urine might be even more effective than straight, fresh urine.
Another query is regarding aged urine as opposed to fresh. Is it ok to drink aged urine or not? From what I saw on other sites, some people say it is useful to drink old urine, some say it is dangerous. Has anyone experimented? Thanks!

This is what I know about Urine Therapy through my grandmother who lived successfully to 99 years: Your diet should not contain any animal products. Only veggies, fruits, nuts and grains.
In the am, upon waking, pass some urine for a few seconds, and then collect the remaining urine. This can be used to ingest, or apply on skin for skin problems.
You can continue doing this through the day, but the morning collection is the one most potent. So drink more water before bedtime to get more of this.
She was against storing due to fermentation which according to her was not a good thing. By ingesting or applying fresh, no one can pick up on smell residue, which one does know of in older fermented products. Also, in addition to no animal products in diet, drink plenty of water, as well as coconut water everyday. And do not do this if you are on any form of medication. I hope this is helpful.

Hi, I am trying urine therapy for last 10 years and I had problems regarding digestion and weight issues(less) all these years. Recently I stopped UT and found out that if I take anyting liquid in the morning it increases acidity. And same holds true for Urine also. Now my weight is increased but as I got to know the problem I can not drink urine on empty stomach. It increases acidity and causes mood swings makes me stressed, depressed.
Does anyone has any clue how I should drink urine without having acidity.
(I am very strict regarding what I eat . No junk foods, No bad habit, but body is of highly pitta type.)

If you do leave it overnight to chill, make sure it's covered air tight. I left mine in a open cup and got diarrhea and a stomach ach the following day.Replied By Nintendo1889 (Usa) on 10/14/2015
You don't need to even drink it, just gargle it or use a dropper, as Scottish researchers have discovered.
