Sleep Aid
Posted by Gerry (Edmonton, Alberta) on 03/17/2011
 ★★★★★

For those who find drinking urine 'yucky', try pinching your nostrils whilst you drink. Most of the rejection impulse comes from the 'smell'. If you object to the mild aftertaste, take a 'swig' of pineapple juice. Sometimes one gets a few 'burps' coming from one's stomach a few times, but never nausea.

I have found that it is a great sleep aid, when one gets into a worry or 'circular thought' syndrome that won't go away and let you sleep.

One's kidneys constantly dump the sleep inducing enzyme that your body creates into the urine, and is there waiting for use, especially if your insomnia problem arises after sleeping for a while.

I have to believe you if you say you got better but I am always left with one question no one has ever answered so far! There are quite a few health problems that show by doing a urine test, like a bladder infection. The bacteria is found in the urine. Won't you be drinking the exact same thing that is making you sick? I would really like to have an answer to that question....

Francisca, urine also acts as homeopathics, the bacteria, toxins, parasites etc. Which are in minimal amount in urine, once re-ingested trigger a powerful immune response. UT is safe, try to get Armstron's book even though there are many out there with a lot of scientific explanation.

Diabetes
Posted by Laura (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) on 11/22/2010

Does anyone who has researched and studied the benefits of Urine Therapy know whether a person could inject their urine via a syringe? I would like to have my daughter try this, she is a juvenile diabetic but will not drink it. I've read here and there bits and pieces of this way mentioned but no instructions, or clues as to whether it was done by a professional who filtered it or anything. Could I try it on myself first and inject some urine into my muscle? I read that an injection is better for curing anything because it by passes the immune system. This would be a way to get it into her. She won't drink it even if I mix it in something else. Anyone know about this? Laura

Urine Therapy Problem Solved

I was shocked at first to read about urine but there were enough testimonials for me to (gulp) try it. I used it inside my rubber shoes at first to see what effect it had on my horrific toenail fungus. After 2 weeks there was noticable difference. But an unfortunate side effect which was very embarassing was my work colleages reaction to the rotting smells. I stopped when I realised they could smell it. But now I have a solution. I use lavender oil mixed 10% with urine and no one can tell. It also makes my shoes more pleasant to put on I can tell you. A cheap and effective cure - and now with no side-effects.

Moles
Posted by Mark (Newton Abbot, Devon, Uk) on 01/17/2012
 ★★★★★

Yes, urine therapy does indeed reduce and eliminate moles, keeping the mole exposed is the key, the trick is to soak a small cotton bud in urine and tape it over the mole for greater urine penetration, it can be left in place for as long as required or permitted (changed when smelly or daily) and even re-soaked every few hours while in place if needed, this method is ideal to leave on during the night, it can take a few days to notice a reduction and a week or 2 for the mole to disappear.

Urine Therapy Side Effects
Posted by Livia (Near Houston, Texas) on 01/18/2013

Urine therapy has a long and positive history, so I am really interested when I hear about negative experiences that seem to go beyond garden-variety detoxification symptoms.

I know that then people are given IV EDTA for heavy metal poisoning, the urine is tested afterward for the presence of heavy metals and other poisonous substances. The results of the test confirm whether or not there is a problem with heavy metal in the body. If urine therapy has the ability to help the body eliminate various toxins, is it possible that heavy metals - at least some of them - will end up back in the urine and act in a negative way on the patient? Just as doing urine therapy while on medication can cause problems? This seems plausible to me, and suggests that it may be wise for some people to precede urine therapy with a heavy metal removal protocol, and to continue with it during urine therapy.

While undergoing allergy elimination therapy and subsequent training in that technique, I learned that it is possible to be allergic to one's own body fluids, and that the energetic treatment for this can result in elimination of whatever symptoms were associated with that allergy. This made me wonder whether some people who have negative results with urine therapy could benefit from allergy testing and treatment for this sensitivity, and subsequently be able to fully benefit from it.

I also have noted a lot of concern here about using urine when there is a kidney or bladder infection causing bacterial contamination of the urine. In John Armstrong's book, there was not mention of concern with this despite using bacteria-infested urine to treat people with kidney and bladder disorders. But just as other posters have mentioned using essential oils like Bergamot and Lavender to deal with the odor issues of urine therapy, perhaps using essential oils that are suitable for ingestion along with urine might alleviate concerns on this point.

Urine Therapy Side Effects
Posted by Steve (Uk) on 01/01/2017

Hi,

Sorry I too have to disagree with this. When taking urine you should also rub urine in to your face, neck, hands and feet. This stops any side effect and the only one I know off is palpitations.

As for the side effects described and the advise given is utter nonsense.

Download or buy the book The waters of life, great read and excellent book.

Fra Fra. I just said bottoms up. I started with a cup of morning urine. I drink one or two cups a day now and I basically have no health problems whatsover. I think it is best just to drink urine without the mixing of water because it is much more powerful and the benefits are immediate. It is better of course, to not eat meat or milk products because it makes the urine have a pretty bad taste although the benefits are the same. Most people may be turned off by the taste of it because of what they eat. The taste of urine is not at all unpleasant if you eat fruits and vegetables and of course drink a lot of water. If you cant stop eating meat then just mix a half a cup of urine with a half a cup of water or natural juice. But I would definitely start off with at least a half of cup of urine and not go the drop route. The effects are much more powerful.

I tried drinking my urine for a month now. Then, my right big toe began to have pain, so I went to see my MD and he told me that I have the beginning stages of gout because I have too much urea in my blood system which came from drinking one cup of my morning urine for thirty days. So maybe it work for some and not for others.

Hi, interesting read. I too have drank my own urine in the past and felt better. I am a great believer in this type of therapy and am starting it again to help lower my blood pressure.

I found it very useful also to remove skin tags and one word of advise when drinking urine you should rub it in to your face, neck, hands and feet to stop palpitations. The book Urine Therapy is a excellent book and a must for anyone contemplating urine therapy and can be downloaded free on google.

Hi dear Su and Kavita. I suffer from serious vaginal infections that look somewhat like the athlete's foot. The entire vulva looks whitish and have watery discharge often. Doctors diagnosed it to be a yeast infection. But I am not getting relief from the allopathic or homeopathic meds.

After reading your replies I want to start the urine therapy. Would you please please let me know how you guys did it, did you fast the first day? how much of it did you take? Do you need to dilute it with water (I read it in a few articles)?

Please reply guys. Thanks.

Results of urine therapy: In my attempts to deal with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) I discovered UT. It always results in giving me hives. No matter how minute the quantity after 2-3 days the hives begin. i've been unable to ascertain why. I take no meds and eat mainly vegetarian diet with green juices, etc. Any insight is highly appreciated because one major immediate benefit was improved sleep.

Gayle,

Hives, IMO are a sign of detox. Veggies & green drinks are, again IMO, detox diets. I would add activated charcoal to grab some of the toxins and take them out of your system rather than allowing your body to force the toxins out through the skin. How much AC? Start small. And hydrate.

Avril, I know your post is about a year old but if you're still on, how are you doing on UT? I'm going to try it because for four years I've been getting upper respiratory infections every few weeks and only one doctor thought it might be mycoplasma but my health care provider wouldn't authorize the necessary tests, which are quite expensive. I've just been limping along with marginal health. Also have candida, inflamed thyroid and treatment resistant bipolar illness which my psychiatrist has just about given up on. I've had it with the medical merry-go-round and spending money every month for nutritional supplements. Time to see if I can get my body to heal itself with its own all purpose remedy.

Any urologist will tell you that urine as it comes from the stream is a "sterile" fluid containing mostly vitamins, minerals, proteins, hormones, with some urea. Urea is not something that can be taken in large amounts, but is the same product you will find in a cream from the drug store if you have gotten a prescription for foot fungus. Yes peeing on your foot can clear up fungus. Someone said it is dirty, disgusting and "these people need educated". Andrea you are the one that needs educated. The urea is a prime source of cure for many fungal problems and other types of ailments. For over 5000 years it has shown to be effective in many ways. Just as acupunture is known to work by modern medicine, so has urine therapy found a medical following in doctors and researchers. Yes it is strange to many and that is way many don't mention it. Does it work and is it clean? Yes ! Or I should say "yes" as long was the urine you use is yours and you don't have a urinary tract infection. Sharing someone else's urine would be a bad choice.

This is my first time posting. I recently started Urine Therapy for my case of Prurigo Nodularis. I wanted to know about Urine Injections. No doctor really wants to help me with this. I want to do these injections at home. I am nervous to do this as I've never done it before. Has anyone done Urine Injections? How did you do it exactly? I live in California and I don't really know where to buy injections for home use. I have a lot of research to do and thought I should reach out to you guys who have experience.

To Rhonda from Tallahassee 7/30/07 re urine therapy. Hi Rhonda, Browsing Earth Clinic and came across your query re urine therapy. I haven't gotten past the "yuk" thinking myself but can help out by passing on second hand information which I found very informative.

In the absence of a urinary tract infection, urine is a sterile solution. Prior to WWI, and maybe after, it was uncouth for a soldier/ warrior to pass up a wounded comrade without stopping to urinate in/on his wound to cleanse it. I have also been told that when plasma was unavailable at the battlefront, urine was given IV, to replace lost blood volume in emergency situations, thereby saving many lives. Come to think of it, maybe that is what the USA anethesiologist was thinking about when some nurses reported that they observed him urinating into a container while in the operating room and adding it to the patient's IV fluids. Apparently it caused the patients no harm but it did create some problems for the anethesiologist. Somehow IV urine seems more appealing than oral urine.

There is a book titled "Your Own Perfect Medicine" which will tell you all about urine therapy and the chemical contents of urine, and many positive testamonials from users who should know- one I recall was a fellow with full blown AIDS and looked, and said he felt fine, 14 years after his initial diagnosis - but this didn't occur until after he started the urine therapy & found it worked. Another I remember was a female with severe rheumatoid arthritis who also sang its praises. I did suggest that a friend with Parkinson's disease try it as a last resort, because orthodox medicine had accelerated the downhill slide instead of halting it. If he ever got up the courage to try it, he didn't tell me about it. He went to the big family reunion over a year ago. From reading about it, the worst side effect would be getting past that "YUK".

The only other information I can pass on came from listening to the radio on the way home one morning (PBS I think) when that melodious voiced Paul Harvey came on. He went into detail about some Asian fellow who was stopped by customs officials at the airport and intensively interogated for several hours before letting him proceed on to his destination. PH said the customs officials told him that the reason they stopped him was they couldn't believe that he was as old as stated on his passport when he looked so much younger, but since he gave them all the correct answers they had to accept that the passport was actually his and asked him what he did to look so young. The man's answer to that was the only thing he did different from others he knew, was that he drank a glass of his own urine every day.

PH said he got to wondering and called a friend in medical research and asked him if there was anything in urine that would keep you looking young if you drank it. His answer was that he couldn't answer that question because as far as he knew, no study had been done on that. PH said he then asked his friend if he had ever tasted urine himself. The answer was "yes, indeed I have and it tastes remarkably like beer".

Beer, in my opinion, should be put back in the horse, but maybe this little bit of second hand information can help you "beer lovers" get past the "YUK" bit, if you ever need "Your Own Perfect Medicine".

One further bit of information, a patient told me that drinking your own urine as medicine came from the Bible. Where it speaks of "drinking from your own fountain" was interpreted as drinking your own urine. During the past year I read that one survivor was rescued past the point of expecting to find anyone buried in the rubble (earthquake) to be alive. This was somewhere in India. Sadly he said his wife and son also survived the quake but died because they refused to drink their urine as he did. Of course this would be due to dehydration.

I tried urine therapy about 4 years ago after hearing about it from a friend of mine, a kundalini yoga instructor. I decided what the heck, sounds disgusting, but the health benefits sound great! So there I was, drinking my urine first thing in the morning. After 48 hours I got a rash on my stomach that lasted about 2 months. I did this for about 3 weeks. I then asked my doctor to give me a blood test to make sure everything looked okay. He called me immediately upon receiving the results to tell me my uric acid levels were very high and I could develop kidney stones. I was too embarrassed to tell him it was probably caused by drinking my own piss. NO WAY! At any rate, I stopped the therapy right away (I never experienced any health benefits from it) and my uric acid levels went back to normal. I still NEVER admit that I have tried this therapy!

Caution about urine therapy:

Remember that the body removes toxic metals like mercury and fluoride, as well as salt through the urine. That said there are days where I just feel off, and drinking my urin does make me feel more relaxed. I'm guessing it's from hormones in the urine. It is usually the week before my menses that I find it helpful.

Applying a well kept urine at a wounded spot quickens the healing process.

It is 6 months since I have been practicing Urine therapy (taking urine internally). And, it is 1 year and 3 months since I have been practicing Oil Pulling (with sesame oil) 2 times (morning and night).

I don't know whether oil pulling can be stopped while doing Urine drinking? can anyone explain?

With oil pulling I found lot of benefits for the problem of my swollen lymph nodes. But on coming across UT, I found it to be better than Oil pulling, since it is just product of our own body.

Now, I stopped doing oil pulling in the nights and doing only in the morning. Before this 2 times OP is needed for me to keep me well balanced in a day in all respects. But, after practicing UT for 4 months, I reduced my 2 times OP to 1 time (only in the morning). Now, this 1 time OP kept me well in a day while I am doing UT on the other side 2 times per day (before going bed and early morning after 3 or 4 am. But, I fear that if I stop this 1 time OP too, I may not be balanced and my swollen nodes may get swelled from being subsiding slowly.

Since the oil for oilpulling is not the product of our own body, I think that urine therapy only can suffice to do. Can any one explain please?

Do not age urine, if you want to drink it. Drink right away after peeing. Urine is sterile as and after peeing, but begins to get contaminated after 15 minutes or so after exposure to the air. The strands you see appear to be moulds.

Hi Michael, I will add to Om's suggestion, Alcohol also. In UT you have to follow complete veg. Diet and it is quite scientific. You will notice strong smell in the morning urine if you have consumed a non vegetarian dinner and had alcohol. Where as if you had vegetarian dinner the urine ill not smell that strong, so keep these things in mind while following UT. Baldev
