"Ratree Cheepudomwit, of the Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Development Department,"
That about does it for me.
Here's a pretty good summary of it-
""Of the respondents, 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them, including for example reduction of dandruff, grey hair, sinus problems and cancer," Ratree told AFP"
This is a little wonky too. Of course they're going to subjectively say they feel better, they don't want to look like an idiot for drinking their own piss :P
I remember like 10 years ago men's health printed an article recommending this for good health
I wouldn't recomment that you do it Herts ;)
There's a really popular book in Germany about urin that was first
published about 10 years ago. The author claims that
'morning' urin has lots of benefits and you don't necessarily need
to drink it. One of the stories that I remember is that someone
drank a shotglass of his morning urin once and his hayfever -
which he'd had for ages - was gone.
I'm not sure there are any studies who actually back this up but if
you like anecdotal evidence here's one:
A couple of years ago I had a wart on the palm of my hand. It got
bigger to the point where I wanted to get a doctor's appointment
to have it removed. My sister told me about the book I mentioned
above and said I should try peeing on it. I did it once and the wart
was gone 2 weeks later.
It helps with ringworm and athletes foot too. It has ammonia (after being exposed to air anyway), that's why.
mmmm...pee smoothie
Good link jonwell.
I was always under the impression that your body excreted urine becaues it is one of two methods that we flush toxins out of our bodies.
How could drinking toxins that your body naturally excretes be good for you?
And where does this lead?
Are people going to start eatiing their own crap?
It would give the term "sh*t sandwich" a new meaning!
Fvck no!
It is coming out of my body for a reason imo. If my body wants it, it will keep it and it is more then welcome to it :P
Well the amonia thing I would do if I was stung by a jelly fish. Get someone to pee on the dam sting but that is as FAR as i'd like to go with pee.

All Furey has to do with this is team it with bridging and he will have his new miracle fat reducing, immortality product.
Jon,
Cat's urine, which is ammonia (far more concentrated and of different substance the human urine due to their original desert status) should be better then, no?
have fun!
-doug-
The store sells ammonia, but god damn they also sell topical fungicide! :P
I should've added a ";-)" to make my intentions more clear here.
LOL @ pee smoothies!
On a serious note though, boiled-down pee paste makes a good antiseptic for cuts.
You can boil down the pee in your kitchen, tell me how it goes. I'll be using OTC antiseptics in the meantime.
In some military training they tell you about drinking your own pee if you have no water to drink. I think you can do it 2-3 times before it has been recycled to much and will do more harm than good.
That's about right, ya.
Dev- I figured you were kidding :P
Reduced cow/whatever urine has been used as an antiseptic for a long time. Quite effective, but ya, thanks to modern technology we have more effective and less stinky methods :P
