In 1978, the Prime Minister of India,Morarji Desai, a longtime practitioner of urine therapy, spoke to Dan Rather on 60 Minutes about urine therapy.Desai stated that urine therapy was the perfect medical solution for the millions of Indians who cannot afford medical treatment.

Yes, in India this practice isn't so strange to people and many people people still use it.
Rather than being just for those who cannot afford it I feel like this is for everyone! This is the way we were designed.
I think this will help you out.
Armstrong's book sold widely, and in Indiainspired the writing of Manav mootra (Gujarati: Urine therapy; 1959) by Gandhian social reformer Raojibhai Manibhai Patel, and many later works. These works often reference Shivambu Kalpa, a treatise on the pharmaceutical value of urine, as a source of the practice in the East.[c] They also cite passing references to properties and uses of urine in Yogic-texts such as Vayavaharasutraby Bhadrabahu and Hatha Yoga Pradapika by Svatmarama; and Ayurvedic texts such as Sushruta Samhita, Bhava Prakasha and Harit. However, according to medical anthropologist Joseph Atler, the practices of sivambu(drinking one's own urine) and amarolirecommended by modern Indian practitioners of urine therapy are closer to the ones propounded by Armstrong than traditional ayurveda or yoga, or even the practices described in Shivambu Kalpa.[6]
