WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO DRINK YOUR OWN PEE – The Many Benefits Of Urine Therapy

in #science7 years ago (edited)

There is a school of thought that advises drinking urine in a specific way for specific reasons. I would never personally try that, and it isn't mainstream because it would be disgusting and probably not helpful. So just don't do it.

I first heard of Urophagia (the consumption of urine) from @addempsea last year while discussing some weird things people do. Well the way he explained it, it sounded valid and like a norm.

I even read somewhere that the Romans and the Chinese did it. Even in the bible its being suggested

Drink water from thine own cistern and the streams of thine own well - Proverbs 5:15

Most people believe drinking a small amount of your urine everyday let's the body know what's going on with itself, more like reminding your immune system to recognize pathogens and invaders it has to counter, like reading a book over again.

But Why Drink Urine?

Some people use their own urine to treat rashes by rubbing it all over their skin, also helps with jellyfish stings and the likes, swishing in the mouth gets rid of cankers.
The reason for drinking urine is simple actually

When blood cells, filled with oxygen and nutrients go through the liver, the poisons and toxins get pulled out and are eliminated with a bowel movement. This filtered and cleaned blood go to the kidneys where excess nutrients get taken out of the body. Plasma ultra filtrate (Urea) contains perfect ratios of nutrients, urea, enzymes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies and minerals. It’s also antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial. The reason it is this way is because it’s a byproduct of the body trying to balance sodium chloride with water. Since urea can kill bacteria and fungus and drastically lower inflammation you’ll find it in many creams and lotions for use on the skin and hair.

Now actually, big pharmaceutical companies have made billions from the sale of drugs made from urine. PERSONAL, a fertility drug made from human urine, earned a reported $855 million in sales in 1992, and sales have increased yearly.

UROKINASE, a urine ingredient, is used in drug form and sold as a “miracle blood clot dissolver” for unblocking coronary arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the world has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in expensive, glamorized creams and lotions.

Most ear drops also, they’re made from CARBAMIDE — another name for synthetic urea. When you look at the real facts, the tragedy of the general disinformation campaign on urine is surpassed only by the irony of our unwitting, and often incredibly expensive purchases of what we all mistakenly but firmly believe to be our bodies’ “useless” and “offensive” waste-product, urine.

Now the question I want to ask you guys is assuming it works, wouldn’t you rather drink your own urine than drink someone else’s own in those numerous herbal mixtures out there??
