according to this feedback; it will normally do this in an appropriate and preci se way. The body is an extremely advanced and intelligent system. The intestines donot absorb all the substances we consume and they are able to make a selection. To a certain extent, they select what is useful to the body and excrete the rest through defecation. Certain substances are converted by th e bacteria in the intestines into other substances which the body can use or abs orb better in that form.. You might ask if urea will not cause any poison-ing sy mptoms when taken in again. Although urea is poisonous when present in very larg e amounts in the blood, only relatively small amounts of urea are ingested when you drink urine This does not end up directly in the blood, but rather in the in testi-nes, and primarily has a purify, cleansing effect. The bulk of it does not show up as urea in the blood, but is converted into the highly useful substance glutamine. It is indisputable that the urine from ninety percent of the population is a lmost entirely free of all bacteria (sterile). Doctors and pathologists confirm this. This is simply because urine does not come into contact with anything unti l it is excreted, and furthermore contains substance which kill bacte-ria. In th e other ten percent, micro-organisms can be found, which can be caused by a late nt illness or infection of the kidneys or urinary passages. Drinking urine which contains a certain amount of micro-organisms can nevertheless be considered har mless. We constantly eat, drink and inhale bac-teria. A large number of bacteria permanently exist in our body, and they generally do not make us sick. External ly applied, urine is an excellent antisep-tic remedy. Fresh urine is sterile & t herefore excellent for cleaning wounds. Old urine contains ammonia & other subst ances which ensure that the infection & decay are combated. Nature works in cycles, aflowing matter to re-turn to its original substance and be reused for construction. Many substances still floating through the bloo d in compounded form are filtered by the kidneys and return to their original su bstances. In this way they can easily be re-absorbed by the body. Once again, I refer to the example of a tree which lives off its fallen leaves. Nature possess es an infal-lible capacity for recycling, of which urine therapy is a remarkable , but sadly forgotten. I would again like to point out that we have all experien ced this urine cycle as a fetus in the womb. For almost nine month, we drank our own urine in the form of amniotic fluid. This liquid was an important contribut ion to the development of our bodies. Drinking urine is certainly not strange. I t is the foundation of our existence. Rational thinking has completely suppressed many natural human instincts. Fo r example, all animals void eating if they are sick. Many illnesses can be quick ly cured in this way, since digesting food requires a great deal of energy. By n ot eating, we can direct much more energy towards the recovery process. Human be ings, however, often continue eating when they are sick. On top of that, the pat ient is often advised to eat especially well, even if he or she is absolutely no t hungry. Urine therapy and healthy dietary habits go together. As already mentioned, no substance which has not earlier been consumed will appear in the urine. A cha nge in dietary habits as part of urine therapy undoubtedly plays an important ro le in a possible healing process. Exclusively change your dietary habits. Urine therapy also has an extraordinarily positive effect if you fast exclusively on w ater and urine, in which case you completely refrain from eating. The same resul ts are achieved with a urine and water fast in one week as with a juice or water fast in two to three weeks. The fact remains: the substances you eat, drink or otherwise ingest are important, especially regarding longterm health. Applying u rine therapy while maintaining unhealthy dietary habits is like lighting a candl e to the sun.

The taste of urine partly depends on what you have eaten and drunk the previ ous day. If you eat a great deal of animal proteins, use a lot of spices or drin k strong herbal tea, your urine will probably have a strong taste. Also, when yo ur body is out of balance, i.e. if you are sick, urine often tastes stronger tha n normal. While applying urine therapy it is wise to reduce the intake of especi ally animal proteins and strong herbs and spices. If you wish to gradually becom e accustomed to the taste, mix urine with water or fruit juice or mix a spoonful of honey into the urine. The remedy, urine, is not lucrative. Urine is free and always available for those who need it. In a world which money talks, urine the rapy can appear be threatening to those who earn their living by manufactunng or prescribing medicine. In short, urine therapy does not fit in the current econo mic picture of scarcity. Many people believe we are healthier nowadays thanks to advances in medical science. This is partly true.The flip side of the coin is t hat we have had to give up a great deal of freedom and independence. The enormou s efforts of medical science are partly based upon the failure to really cure il lnesses. Fighti-ng symptoms is considered to be crucial, but this does not take care of the cause. Urine therapy, being a real nature cure, not only reduces the symp-tom, but also deals with the cause of the illness. When you are convinced it works for you, the reluctance to talk about it will gradually subside, and ma ybe even disappear. Per-haps you will start to enjoy talking about it, as I do. You can be sure that you will be surrounded by plenty of laughter, which in fact can be rather pleasant. The odor of urine is much less repulsive than most peop le think since most associate urine with public toilets. Actually, it often smel ls rather pleasant when applied fresh on the skin. I myself regularly use pure u rine as aftershave and hair lotion. The majority of useful, vital substances is found in the morning urine. This is because at night, while you sleep, your body is totally relaxed. This deep r elaxation gives the body the chance to carry out its recovery activities. The de composition products partly end up in the urine and can be re-absorbed and used for new build-up processes. This process of filtering by the kidneys returns the so-called raw decomposition products to their original substances, which can su bsequently be absorbed and re-used by the body. Certain hormones are also releas ed during sleep, a number of which are intended to bring about the above mention ed deep relaxation. Reabsorbing these hormones ensures that we are more rested d uring the waking hours. It saves the body energy because it does not have to man ufacture these hormones again. Ingestion of the morning urine, which is full of hormones, regulates the entire hormonal process. These hormones have the particu lar function of maintaining hormonal balance. In theory, it is best to use exclusively your own urine, especially if inter nally applied. However, if you are in a state of shock and cannot urinate, the u rine from somebody else can safely be adminis-tered. If possible, use the urine from somebody of the same sex. Different hormones can be found in the urine from a male than in that of a female. For certain illnesses, it seems to be benefici al to ingest the urine from children. The urine from a child is often very pure, especially if the child follows a healthy diet. In some cases, the urine fron a child can also be used in the external massage application for the seriously il l who cannot produce enough of their own urine. Urine from different people usually does not differ much in its ingredlents, which is why the urine from one person will also to some extent work for somebo dy else. However, your own urine contains personal, characteristic substances an d provides the particular information the body needs in order to carry out the h ealing process as effectively as possible. In general, it is no problem to combine urine therapy with any other form of natural treatment. This also applies to the use of nutritional supplements as l ong as they are natural. One should refrain from any chemically manufactured sup

plements. Experience has shown that the use of vitamin supplements in combinatio n with the practise of urine therapy can considerably cut down the amount of sup plements you need to take, because of the recycling effect. Many substances, suc h as vitamins and enzymes, act as carriers for other. Urine therapy can also be seen as a form of self-vaccination: certain bodily substances which have been re moved from the body, some of which may have been produced as a result of illness , are rein-troduced into the body in small amounts. These substances are reabsor bed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin. According to this hypothesis, the immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately. In the early nineteenth century, Dr. Charles Duncan conducted research into therapies with self-produced substances, including urine therapy. He demonstrate d that patients suffering from gonorrhoeic urethritis (infection of the urinary tube as a result of the venereal disease gonorrhoea) produce their own meditatio n in the form of their own discharge. Auto-therapy was applied here by placing a drop of a patient's discharge directly on the tongue, in order to stimulate the body's natural powers. This method had a strong healing effect at every stage o f the illness: if applied at an early stage, it could cause the gonorrhoea to di sappear. Auto-therapy is based on the principle that the body can use all fresh, self-produced, unaltered dis-eased tissue substances which originate from the m icro-organisms causing the illness. Seen in this light, patients have their own medication in exactly the form constructed by natute to heal their condition. Ten effects of Urine Therapy: Reabsorption and reuse of nutrients, Reabsorpt ion of hormones, Reabsorption of enzymes, Reabsorption of urea, Immunological ef fect, Bactericidal and virucidal effect, Salt therapy, Diuretic effect, Transmut ation theory, Psychological effect. The filtering process in kidneys should break down this tissue to its origin al materials, after which it can be reused by the body to build in new tissue. R eabsorption can be a means for the body to generally conserve energy: reingestio n of hormones gives the body the chance to reuse at least a number of these, so that it is not necessary to expend energy on manufacturing new hormones. Hormone s are actually extremely powerful mol-ecules, the production of which requires a great deal of energy. Once produced, they are able to cause a complete alterati on in the balance of bodily processes, the personality, the emotions and the sta te, of mind, even if only a few molecules are released. So even the slightest re -absorption of hormones may well have a powerful effect on our state of health a nd level of energy. I have already referred to research on the effects of melatonin, a hormone f ound in urine which possibly has a calming effect. Melatonin also has a powerful anti-cancer effect. Some people recommend to use the first urine after sexual i ntercourse. During the process of sexual stimulation certain hormones are releas ed in the higher endocrinal glands which have a regenerating effect on the body for men as well as women. On research conducted on the enzyme Urokinase, positive results can be expec ted from the effects of enzymes in urine as a total entity. Urokinase causes vas odilation and resembles nitroglycerine in its ability to strengthen the bloodstr eam from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle. Urokinase is extracted from urine and brought on the market as medicine on a large scale. Besides water, urea is the main component of urine and is a decomposition pr oduct of converted proteins. A person excretes approximately an average of 25 to 30 grams of urea per day. We come in contact with urea at an early age, as a fe tus in the womb. The level of urea in amniotic fluid, which consists for the mos t part of urine from the fetus doubles in the last two months of pregnancy. Befo re we are born, we drink well over half a litre per day of this liquid. The fetu s also breathes it in; this is essential for proper development of the lungs. Sc

ars disappear after an operation on a foetus in the womb due to the healing capa cities of the urea in the amniotic fluid. Bactena are not yet active in the intestinal canal. Once we are born, the in testinal flora start to work, which have a special role in the conversion of ure a. Scientists estimate that 25% of the urea in an adult finds its way into the i ntestines, where it is decomposed into ammonia by intestinal bacte-ria. The body reuses a certain part of urea; the extra supply created by applying urine thera py increases the gultamine level in the body. This consequently strengthens the immune system and specialised organs, and at the same time heals damages to the digestive tract. Urea has the capacity to moisten the skin and regulate its cond ition one of the reasons why it is processed in many skin creams. Some pharmaceu -tical companies use horse urine for the production of urea and they actually ha ve lots of horses in their factory. Early urine is not toxic, although some toxic substances might be present in urine in small amounts, especially if one is ill. This small amount of toxic su bstances possibly contributes to the effectiveness of urine therapy. If toxic su bstances enter the body, body's defence mechanisms are called into action (the i mmune system). If substances which leave the body via the urine are the same as those involved in the illness process, they can stimulate the defence system to attack and in this way fight the illness. This might explain why urine therapy h as proven so helpful in treating allergies. The practise of drinking and massagi ng with urine allows antibodies greater ac-cess to the body, which stimulates th e immune system. Applying urine to a fresh cut or scrape prevents infection and keeps flies away (important in coun-tries with a warm climate). Urine compresses from fresh or old urine help to combat infections and often cause them to disap pear. Although urine does not entirely prevent the growth of bacteria in the ure thra (infections often arise), it clearly has a powerful antiseptic effect when externally applied. Salt solutions remove old mucous embedded in the mucous membranes. If one dr inks a salt liquid, part of the sait goes into the body, where it dis-solves the surplus of mucus in the lungs and in other organs. As a salt liquid, urine also has a laxative effect and is recommended to relieve constipation. As it moves t hrough the intestinal canal, the salt detaches waste and draws water into the in testines, as a result of which bowel movement becomes easier. According to this theory, drinking urine, like drinking salt Water, accelerates the metabolism. It removes a surplus of sugar from the blood and draws out toxic substances from c ells. In this way, urine therapy is a good cleansing technique. Using urine inst ead of salt is also more effective because urea and ammonia are organic solvents : they dissolve fats and other natural bodily secre-tions. These substances prob ably ensure that the cous membranes and body cells are powerfully affected. By ingesting urine, one stimulates the body not only to excrete part of thes e metabolic products at an accelerated rate, but also to convert another part in to useful substances. A previously mentioned example of this is urea, which is c onverted through ammonia into glutamine. The theory of transmutation implies that the body is capable, through energe tic exchange within the body itself, to transmute certain substances or molecule s into other ones. Short-circuiting the system by ingesting one's own secreted b ody fluids might stimulate the transmutational forces within and challenge the b ody to transform unusable sub-stances into usable ones without being constantly disturbed by new external input. This would spe-cifically apply to fasting on ur ine. Another important aspect is the theory of struc-tured water. The body consi sts for the biggest part of water and so does urine. Not all water is the same t hough. The molecular structure of water can be less or more organized and in the latter case one speaks of structured water. The more it is organ-ized, the bett er all kind of enzymatic processes can do their job. These enzymatic processes,

in their turn, are responsible and necessary for the diges-tion, absorption and transmutation of all nutrients. Urine is thus a crystalline-like substance conta ining a high amount of structured water. This structured water, when taken in again, promotes better enzymatic functi oning and it has a higher solubility for minerals. A higher amount of structured water in the body system is correlated with better health and more energy. The fact that urine is a liquid crystal substance, particularly because of the vario us salts in it, implies that it contains crystalline vibrations com-pletely in t une with the vibrational condition of the body. Reingestion might give the body valu-able vibrational information. Healthy vibrations will strengthen the alread y cx-isting, healthy body resonance. Diseased or stressvibrations will counterac t any unhealthy resonance in tbe body. It is known that disturbing sounds of any sort can be counteracted best by confronting it with the same sounds. The vibra tory patterns of the body, both in the bones (solid crystals) and in the tissues and fluids (liquid crystals), play an important role in the process of transmut ation. The resonance field of a crystal can make a protein, for example, change its form into one that is more useful for the body, or easier adaptable by it. Applying your own bodily substances in an attempt to heal can lead to a cons iderably broadened outlook on the intelligence and power of the body, and can in crease your ap-preciation and love for yourself as a physical and spiritual bein g. Instead of regarding excretions (re-ally just a part of yourself) as enemies, you regard them as your helpers. This healthier way of seeing yourself might we ll have a powerful healing effect on your body. Urine therapy confronts us with a very concrete 'healer within' which works both on a mechanistic and on an ener getic level. The latter implies that urine, as a holographic substance, can affe ct all levels of being, from the physical, through the electromagnetic fields of the emotions and the mind, up to the subtler genetic vibrational information of the soul. ********************************************* Urine: The body's own health drink? Some claim it cures everything from colds to cancer, while stranded hiker Paul B eck drank nothing else for six days and survived. So does urine have genuine hea lth benefits? Maxine Frith investigates Tuesday 21 February 2006 Tweet inShare Print A A A Email For its advocates, it is a miraculous elixir that has replaced the morning coffe e as their first drink of the day; for most other people, it is bodily waste tha t should strictly confined to the toilet bowl. But is drinking one's own urine r eally as good for you as its fans believe? Last week, British hiker Paul Beck was stranded in the Spanish mountains for six days - and survived by drinking his own urine. The 33-year-old slipped and disl ocated his hip while walking. As he waited for rescuers to find him, he tried to exist on powdered chocolate and raw oats, but eventually resorted to urinating into a cup and drinking a few drops a day. He said: "It was pretty awful but in all I did it around five times to keep myself hydrated." And last year, yachtsmen Mark Smith and Steven Freeman spent 11 days stranded in

the South China Sea after their boat capsized and put their survival down to ur ine. But apart from possibly helping to keep one alive in extreme circumstances, is d rinking urine really good for your health? Auto-urine therapy, or urotherapy as it is sometimes known, dates back to severa l ancient cultures and even, arguably, the Bible. Egyptian medical texts and Chi nese and Indian documents mention the benefits of drinking one's urine, while th e Aztecs used it to disinfect wounds. Contrary to popular perception, urine is not a by-product of the body's waste di sposal system but of blood filtration. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver, where toxins are removed and excreted as solid waste. The purified blood then goes through another filtering process via the kidneys, where components fo r which the body has no immediate use are collected in a sterile, watery solutio n. For that reason, it is highly sterile, consisting of 95 per cent water and fi ve per cent nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, antibodies and ot her beneficial ingredients. Advocates of auto-urine therapy believe that this combination can help cure ever ything from the common cold to cancer, boosting energy levels and sexual perform ance along the way. While the practice has always been popular in China, India a nd South-east Asia, a small but growing band of Western fans are also downing a daily dose. Books with titles such as The Golden Fountain all extol the virtues of urine. One of the prime movers in the movement, Martha Christy (author of Your Own Perf ect Medicine) says that the first toilet visit of the day is the most beneficial . She recommends a regime beginning with five drops of "fresh morning urine" und er the tongue before gradually increasing the dosage to as much as a cupful, mor ning and night. Urine can also be used as eye and ear drops, for gargling with o r in the bath. Ms Christy, who claims that drinking urine cured her of a host of medical proble ms, says that doctors have deliberately not highlighted the benefits of auto-uri ne therapy because there are no profits in it for them. But there is little firm proof for the claims made about the therapy and medical experts have remained unconvinced. Dr Michael Stroud, an expert in nutrition at Southampton University and who has been in many extreme situations during his r ecord-breaking expeditions with explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, says that people w ho believe that their urine can cure them of Aids and improve their complexions are "daft as brushes". Sceptics have even poured cold water on the theory that it can save lives on the high seas or frozen mountain tops. They say that the concentration of nutrients such as sodium will take more water to get rid of than is present in urine - me aning it will dehydrate you rather than helping to keep you hydrated. Helen Andrews, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "There are no health b enefits to drinking your own urine, and in fact I think it could be quite detrim ental. Each time you put it back it will come out again even more concentrated a nd that is not good for health as it could damage the gut. If you are stranded, your body will try to conserve as much water as it can. Drinking your urine woul d be like drinking seawater." Perhaps the last word should be left to that embracer of all things alternative, Jennifer Saunders' character Eddy in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. "It's urin e therapy darling; it's not to be sniffed at."

A verse in Proverbs advi ses: "Drink waters from thy own cistern, flowing water from thy own well." ********************************************* THE WATER OF AUSPICIOUSNESS: SHIVAMBU KALPA VIDHI Extracted from the Damar Tantra Verses 1-4 Oh Parvati! (The God Shiva speaks to his wife, Parvati.) Those who practise this method can enjoy the fruits of their meditation and this method. For this, cert ain actions have been recommended along with certain types of utensils. The Shiv ambu is to be drunk from pots made of gold, silver, copper, brass, iron, tin, gl ass, earth, bamboo, bones, leather, or a bowl made of plantain leaves. The urine should be collected in any one of the above mentioned utensils and should be dr unk. However, earthen pots are the best for use. Verse 5 The follower of the therapy should avoid pungent, salty ingredients in his meals . He should not over-exert himself. He should follow a balanced and light diet. He should sleep on the ground, and control the senses. Verse 6 Such a trained man gets up in the early morning when three quarters of the night has passed, stands facing the east and passes urine. Verse 7 The first and concluding flow of the urine is to be left out, and the intermedia te flow of urine is to be collected. This is the best method. Verse 8 The follower of the therapy should only use his own urine; it is called Shivambu

dhara. However, just as the mouth and the tail of the serpent contain poison, si milarly the first and the concluding flow of urine are not wholesome. Verse 9 Shivambu is a divine nectar! It is capable of abolishing old age and various typ es of diseases and ailments. The follower should first ingest his urine and then start his meditation. Verse 10 After getting out of bed, the face and the mouth should be washed with water. Af terwards one should drink one s own urine quite willingly and cheerfully. All the ailments subject to from the very birth will be completely cured. Verse 11 If this method is followed for one month, one s body will be internally cleansed. Drinking it for two months stimulates and energises the senses. Verse 12 If this method is followed for three months, all types of ailments will disappea r and all miseries will evaporate. After following this method for five months, the follower will be completely healthy and will be bestowed with divine eyesigh t. Verse 13 After six months of following this therapy, the follower will be exceptionally i ntelligent. After seven months, the follower will be extraordinarily strong. Verse 14 After eight months the human body will possess divine lustre like that of shinin g gold which will be permanent. After nine months of continual use, tuberculosis and leprosy will perish. Verse 15 After ten months of continued use, the follower becomes practically the treasury of lustre and brightness. After eleven months the follower becomes pure, both e xternally and internally. Verse 16 After one year of continued use, the follower acquires solar shining. After two years, the follower can conquer the element of earth. Verse 17 After three years of practicing this therapy, the follower can conquer the eleme nt of water. After four years, the follower can certainly conquer the element of lustre. Verse 18 After five years, the follower can conquer the element of air. Seven years of us e makes the follower capable of conquering his ego. Verse 19 After eight years of working with this method, the follower can conquer all the five important elements of the universe. Nine years of this method will make the follower immortal. Verse 20 After ten years of experimentation, it will be possible to float in the air with ease. After eleven years, the follower will be able to listen to the movements of the internal organs of the body.

Verse 21 Experiments for the duration of twelve years will enable one to be as long lived as the moon and the planets. Dangerous animals such as serpents will not affect one in any way; serpents poison will not kill the follower. One can float on wat er just as wood floats and he will never drown. Verses 22, 23 Oh Goddess! I shall tell you of some other aspects of the therapy. Listen to me carefully. If taken for six months continually, the powder of Amrita (Tinospora Condifalia) dissolved in Shivambu, will make a man free from human ailments and he will become perfectly happy. Verse 24 The powder of Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula) mixed with Shivambu should be taken regularly for one year. It puts a stop to old age and disease and if used for on e year makes a man exceptionally strong and healthy. Verse 25 Shivambu should be taken with one gram of sulphur. If this is followed for three years, man may acquire longevity as long as the moon and planets exist. The uri ne and excreta of such a man may become white and gold. Verse 26 The stomach powder, Kostha Churna, should be taken with Shivambu continually for a period of twelve years. The tokens of old age such as wrinkles on the skin, g rey hair, etc., vanish. Man will have the strength of ten thousand elephants and will live as long as the moon and the planets exist. Verse 27 The mixture of pepper, terminalia belavica, terminalia chebula, if taken with Sh ivambu will enable man to acquire divine lustre and brightness. Verses 28, 29 The extract of mica and sulphur should be dissolved in Shivambu and taken regula rly. It relieves the ailment of dropsy and rheumatism. Man becomes strong and di vinely lustrous. He can enjoy longevity and can compete with death. Verse 30 A follower who takes Shivambu regularly and avoids pungent, salty and sour thing s, can promptly enjoy the fruits of his meditation and this method. Verse 31 He becomes free from human ailments. He assumes a divinely lustrous physique lik e that of Shiva; he can recreate the universe and can lead a divinely pleasant l ife. Verse 32 A meditator who lives on the juice of neem leaves and Shivambu attains the statu s of yogi and possesses the divinely pleasant lustre full of bliss. Verse 33 The powder of neem bark and pumpkin gourd dissolved in Shivambu taken for a year relieves man from all types of ailments. Verse 34 The mixture of lotus roots, mustard seeds and honey should be taken with Shivamb u. It makes the human body exceptionally light and energetic. Verse 35 The fruits of the moha tree and a tri-mixture of the herbs in verse 27 should be

taken in equal proportion and dissolved in Shivambu. This is capable of relievi ng old age and all kinds of diseases. Verse 36 Rock salt and honey in equal proportions should be taken first in the early morn ing, followed by Shivambu. This makes man lustrous and he acquires a body with d ivine attributes. Verse 37 Sulphur, dried fruit of Amla (Phylonthus Emblica) and nutmeg powder should be mi xed together and taken daily, followed by Shivambu. All pains and miseries vanis h. Verse 38 The follower should regularly drink milk and Shivambu. If this is done for seven years, all human ailments perish and the body becomes well nourished and strong . Verse 39 He who takes Amritaka powder (the extract of tinospora condifolia) and then Shiv ambu can conquer death. Verse 40 He who drinks the mixture of Shivambu and honey or sugar is relieved of any type of ailment within a period of six months. His brain power becomes brilliant and his voice becomes melodious. Verse 41 The powder of dry ginger taken first directly followed by Shivambu definitely re lieves any disease. Verse 42 He who first chews on the leaves of Viter Nirgundi and then drinks Shivambu will be bestowed with diving eyesight. Verse 43 The powder of mansheel should be dissolved in Shivambu and the solution applied to the body. This makes man free of ailments and his hair becomes black (again). Verse 44 Now, oh Parvati, I shall tell you about the process of massage. If such massage is carried out, the follower can enjoy the fruits of his meditation and his life style and will experience spiritual growth. Verse 45 The Shivambu should be boiled in an earthen pot and extracted to one fourth its quantity. It should then be allowed to cool. This extract can be used for the bo dy massage. Verse 46 The following mantra should be recited during the use of Shivambu. When collecti ng the urine in an earthen pot, the following mantra should be recited: Om Rhim K lim Bhairavaya Namaha (salutes to Bhairav). The pot filled with Shivambu should t hen be taken into the hands. When drinking urine from the pot the mantra to be r ecited is Om Shrim Klim Uddamaneshwaraya Namaha (salutes to Uddamaneshwara). The f ollower will be away from all sins and defects. Verse 47 While passing urine, the mantra to be recited is Om Sarvam Sristhi Prabhave Rydra ya Namaha (salutes to God Rudra).

Verse 48 Shivambu should be applied to the whole body. It is exceptionally nourishing and can relieve all ailments. Verse 49 The follower can acquire divine power with this process. A yogi can become the K ing of Gods. His movements will be unprevented. He will have the strength of ten thousand elephants. He can eat and digest anything. Verse 50 Urine which has not been boiled down to one fourth its volume should never be ap plied to the body; if done so, it makes the body weak and invites ailments. [Ed. note: Although the text states using urine that has not been boiled can have ha rmful consequences, research and experience have demonstrated that this is not t he case, and that fresh urine as well as urine which is not boiled down but whic h is even four days old, produces excellent results during external use. This is also true for boiled down urine as suggested by the text.] Verse 51 Unboiled urine should never be used for body massage. If the extract of Shivambu is used for the massage, it is very wholesome for the body. The follower can ac complish many things. Verse 52 The follower can conquer death by drinking Shivambu and massaging with one fourt h extract of the same. Verse 53 His urine and excrement can impart a white colour to gold. If Shiro-Amrit and de w are mixed in the extract of Shivambu and if the mixture is applied to the body , the man will become exceptionally strong and will be free from any type of ail ment. Verse 54 A follower should drink Shivambu every morning regularly for a period of three y ears. This and avoiding bitter, salty and pungent things in his meals will enabl e him to conquer passion. Verses 55, 56 Chickpeas should be roasted and taken with unrefined sugar followed by the intak e of Shivambu. Urine extract should also be applied to the body. After six month s the human body becomes quite light and energetic. Verse 57 Oh wife of the highest of Gods! Roots of Piper Longum and one gram of black pepp er should be taken first and afterwards Shivambu should be drunk. Within one mon th, the voice will become melodious and all ailments will vanish. Verse 58 The follower should first take the powder of dry ginger and then drink Shivambu. It makes him exceptionally strong. He may acquire the strength of ten thousand elephants.

Do not tell anyone. ************************************* URINE & UREA Therapy By Walter Last I have been fond of urine therapy for many years but except as a homoeopathic re medy, I have rarely mentioned it to patients as our social conditioning invariab ly prompted a strong negative reaction. The many and varied case histories described by John Armstrong in his 'The Water of Life' are certainly impressive. However, this book was first published fifty years ago, Armstrong did not have any academic qualifications and without the s trong support of other therapists, there were not many convincing reasons for pa tients to try this method. This has changed dramatically in recent years with the publication of the severa l more books on urine therapy. Very good are the self-published books by Martin Lara at http://users.erols.com/martinlara/, 'The Miracle of Urine Therapy' by Dr Beatrice Bartnett and especially 'Your Own Perfect Medicine' by Martha Christy. Martha Christy's Experience Martha Christy cured herself of a host of incapacitating illnesses, including in testinal inflammation or Crohn's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid diso rder, severe chronic kidney infections, food and chemical allergies and severe e ndometriosis. The conventional approach with drugs and six operations did not help and probabl y intensified her problems. Natural therapies worked for a while, but a difficul t pregnancy disabled her again and this time even the natural therapy she tried was not good enough, including $US 15,000 spent in an alternative cancer clinic in Mexico for bleeding pelvic tumours. Most of the time she had to stay in bed until one day she was introduced to urin e therapy and before long, all her health troubles were over. Instead of just writing another 'How I Did It' book, she went to university libr aries and hired a research firm to search the scientific and medical literature for publications on the use of urine and products derived from it.

She was amazed by what she found. There were not just hundreds but rather thousa nds of published articles. There are probably more articles published about urea , the main ingredient of urine, than about any other organic substance. Mrs Chri sty devoted a large part of her book to explaining and summarising this scientif ic and medical evidence and also provided detailed references of published paper s. In addition, she lists many testimonials of individuals as to the effectiveness of urine therapy in overcoming AIDS, Candida, Cancer, Colitis, Depression, Diabe tes, Immune deficiency, Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases. Scientific Evidence The most amazing aspect of urine therapy is its effectiveness in such a wide ran ge of different diseases. There are several reasons for this. For one, urine contains antibodies and immun e stimulating factors against all viruses, harmful bacteria or fungi that we may harbour in our body. The researchers stated that even minute amounts of antibod ies, sometimes so low that they cannot be detected with conventional methods, ar e effective in preventing and treating diseases. There are reports investigating and describing the curative effects of urine the rapy on a wide range of infectious, fungal and viral infections, such as hepatit is, poliomyelitis and AIDS. Urine is especially effective against allergies, aut oimmune diseases and other disorders of the immune system. To switch off an allergic reaction one must put a few drops of urine under the t ongue, collected during the reaction, or the urine may be homoeopathically dilut ed and some of it kept in the mouth for a few minutes. When drinking urine routinely, allergic reactions may not occur at all, thus doi ng away with the need to identify which substance one has been reacting to. Curing Cancer 'Child's Play'! Cancer, too, responds very well to urine therapy. Very effective appears to be t he urine fast employed by Armstrong. His first cancer patient was a nurse who had herself cared for over fifty cancer patients. She knew that any cancer pain is mild as compared to that experienced from the regrowth commonly occurring after medical intervention. Usually visible tumours such as with breast cancer disappeared within three week s, but sometimes even in one week. Armstrong called curing cancer 'child's play' except if patients had already received chemotherapy or radiotherapy. I also know personally of several cases of cancer cures exclusively or mainly du e to urine therapy; sometimes the addition of urine therapy to a natural cancer program appeared to be responsible for the successful outcome. Martin Lara has a n interesting breast cancer cure with urine injections on his site http://users. erols.com/martinlara/. Most of the scientific cancer reports concentrate on urine extracts of anti-canc er agents. One such extract is called H-11, another HUD, others Retine, DHEA hor mone or Anti-neoplaston. While good results were reported with all of these, it is very expensive to trea t patients in this way and the treatment would be even more effective and much c heaper if all of these cancer-fighting ingredients of urine were used together b

y ingesting whole urine. Surprisingly, uric acid is not just the villain causing gout; it is also a prove n anti-cancer agent and rejuvenating factor. However, the crown of the cancer-fi ghting urine ingredients may actually belong to urea, the most common chemical i n urine. Benefits of Urea Only recently has it been discovered that the concentration of urea in the blood has a key role in regulating at least 7 major pathways. Urea levels are low wit h cancer and many other diseases. The frequency of cancer and especially of mult iple tumours and metastases increases greatly if urea levels are low. Urea is not just a waste product or the end state of the protein metabolism as c ommonly assumed. Biochemical research has shown that urea, both from internal so urces or externally supplied, is used by the body as a raw material to synthesis e amino acids and proteins. This is especially important for patients with kidney failure. These deteriorate quickly on a diet containing normal amounts of protein, but do much better if t he diet is extremely low in protein, below 20g per day. Another research report states that patients with kidney failure on very low pro tein intake show progressive clinical improvement when receiving added urea, whi ch then becomes the main source of nitrogen for protein synthesis. Urea may thus be the main reason why urine therapy and especially urine fasts are so successf ul with kidney failure I believe that it is the best and sometimes the only successful therapy. One of my patients with kidney failure continued to deteriorate on a fast of fresh vege table juices, but was cured when fasting on urine for 2 weeks. Another helpful factor is the role of urea as the best natural diuretic and far better than synthetic ones. This is not only important for those with deem or fl uid retention because of kidney or heart weakness but especially with fluid pres sure on the brain or spinal cord or in the eye with glaucoma. With this, additional urea is important with brain tumours, stroke, meningitis a nd other inflammations of the brain and spinal cord. One report cites the case o f a massive brain tumour reappearing 3 months after surgical removal of another brain tumour. The patient received 256ml of 30% urea. After 2 hours the tumour h ad completely disappeared. When applied externally, urea has a very beneficial effect on wound healing, inc luding infected wounds, burns and ulcerating tumours. The urea crystals may be d irectly packed into the wound or a strong or saturated solution may be applied. In this way, urea removes the foul odour often associated with an ulcerating tum our or other dead or putrefying tissue. Urea Pioneer The use of urea in cancer treatment was pioneered by E V Danopoulos, a Professor of Internal Medicine in Athens. Urea was notably effective with liver cancer an d in preventing the development of metastases or secondary tumours. He used 45g of urea daily in 6 divided doses for 40 days and then 20g in 3 doses for 2 years . 45g correspond to 6 rounded teaspoons, while 20g are about 3 teaspoonfuls. The results were published in The Lancet in 1974. But as it happens so often with discoverers of cheap cancer cures, Danopoulos lo

st his position after this publication and was forced to retire. Other research has shown that the effectiveness of urine in killing microbes depends largely on its concentration of urea and is better, the higher it is in urea. Other Beneficial Ingredients Another important reason for the effectiveness of urine is its content of countl ess hormones, enzymes, vitamins, trace minerals and other valuable biochemical. Some companies make a fortune by extracting some of these substances from collec ted urine on a large scale. The fact is that urine is not a waste product full o f harmful substances as is commonly believed, but instead a treasure-trove of ju st the right bio-chemicals that we need for our condition. The main function of the kidneys is to regulate the concentration of all these c ountless bio-chemicals in our blood. Any unwanted surplus is as harmful as any d eficiency. However, any hormone or enzyme removed as surplus at one time may be in short supply a few hours later. Furthermore, with advancing age, our hormone and enzyme production declines to s ub-optimal levels while the kidneys become less and less efficient in retaining needed ingredients. Therefore, it greatly helps, especially with chronic degenerative diseases and a dvancing age to recycle these valuable hormones and enzymes. Urine Rejuvenates Urine ingestion is frequently praised as possibly the best rejuvenation therapy known to us. It certainly rejuvenates the hair and the skin. The youthful appear ance of many Buddhist monks is ascribed to their routine urine ingestion. It seems that historically all cultures have used urine for medicinal purposes. It is praised in ancient Egyptian papyri, was used in ancient Rome, in China, In dia, America as well as European countries. The Journal of the American Medical Association states that in 'primitive medicine' there is scarcely a disease that has not been treated with the external or internal use of urine. A 5000-year old Sanskrit text describes in a religious context in 107 verses the virtues of urine. In one verse Lord Shiva, the great destroyer and re-generator , says that he who drinks urine sweetened with honey is cleared of any ailment w ithin 6 months. He attains brilliant brainpower and his voice becomes melodious. One well-known urine ingredient is melatonin, the hormone of the pineal gland. I t regulates our body rhythms linked to the dark-light cycle. It is produced in t he night and mostly expelled with the morning urine. However it is now highly va lued as protecting us from cancer and ageing. Melatonin sales in California are said to top aspirin sales. But why pay much money for just one beneficial ingred ient when there are thousands for free? Problems may arise from ingesting large amounts of urine if one takes medicinal or recreational drugs as these drugs may be recycled and cause an overdose. The same may happen if one ingests other toxic substances. However, harmful substanc es are not necessarily reabsorbed and may just cause diarrhoea instead. How to Use Urine There are various ways to use urine but generally it is advisable to start with small amounts. This is not only to get accustomed to the taste of it, but also t o slow down any healing reactions. These occur commonly with methods that genuin ely improve our health.

Reactions may manifest as diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, skin problems or a tempor ary flare-up of old health problems prior to their final elimination. Start with a few drops or a teaspoonful. These may be swallowed immediately and you may wash it down with some water or juice or eat a piece of fruit. However, with allergies and immune disorders it is more effective to leave the diluted ur ine under the tongue for a few minutes. An allergic reaction can best be stopped or neutralised by collecting the urine when the symptoms are worst, however in practice you try to use it as soon as yo u notice the first symptoms. Some researchers suggest that the proper dose can be found by slowly putting sin gle drops under the tongue until the taste and temperature of a drop can no long er be distinguished. This is then the neutralising dose. Each subsequent day you may double the previous dose or the number of times you take them per day until you reach your target amount or the dose that you are comfortable with. A suggested amount for general health improvement and rejuvenation are 2 or 3 cu pfuls daily. More may be temporarily used to overcome serious diseases, especial ly AIDS and other viral, bacterial or fungal infections, cancer and kidney disea ses. Drink only on an empty stomach well before meals as a large amount or stron g urine after a meal may cause digestive upset. You may also need to take half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate one or more times daily before meals to minimise allergy problems due to overacidity. In these cases ingest about one litre, the more the better, while for a limited period, say several weeks, try to drink all or most of your urine, except in the evening so that you do not have to get up at night. However, that may only be s uitable during a cleansing period. My favourite way to flush the kidneys is to drink 1 to 2 litres of urine before breakfast. Start drinking all the urine when you first wake up, lets say around 5 o'clock. Then you may urinate again and drink another lot about 6.30 and then again at 8 o'clock. Either drink sufficient in the evening so that the first mor ning urine is not too concentrated or otherwise dilute strong urine with suffici ent water. If the urine is cloudy, as it easily happens during a healing reactio n, you may use only a small amount. If the body is reasonably clean, then the ur ine does not taste offensive and reflects the aromas of the previous meal. The s econd morning urine, especially after drinking a fair amount of liquids after ri sing, is usually very mild and better to get accustomed to then the first mornin g urine. Martin Lara (http://users.erols.com/martinlara/) describes injecting 1 ml of fre sh urine once or several times into a muscle, e.g. thigh or buttock. This is esp ecially recommended for cancer, strong viral infections and other serious diseas es, it also helped to eliminate asthma. The Urine Fast The most powerful form of urine therapy is a urine fast which combines two of th e most effective natural healing methods, urine therapy and fasting. This is the method routinely used by John Armstrong and described in his book The Water of Life. Armstrong had amazing results with this method and I also found it very ef fective. A main advantage of a urine fast over a water fast is a greatly increas ed amount of energy so that the fast can be continued for a much longer period. I believe that it is also more effective than a fast or cleanse on vegetable jui ces.

During the urine fast you drink all of your freshly voided urine and initially s ome added water to bring the daily volume to about 5 litres. However, I suggest to gradually increase the ingested amount to full intake already before starting the fast while gradually reducing the food intake to just a few pieces of fruit or vegetable salad and fresh vegetable juices. It is possible that this combination, a small amount of fresh fruit or vegetable s and juices together with ingesting almost all of your urine is already suffici ent to cure your problem. If after a week or two you feel that you do not make e nough progress, you may then proceed with a strict urine fast for 1-4 weeks. You end the fast by using again only a small amount of fresh raw fruit or vegeta bles for another week or two, gradually increasing the amount and variety of fre sh food. As with all fasts or cleanses, it is important to keep the bowels moving daily. Initially I suggest using a tablespoon of Epsom salts together with a crushed cl ove of garlic for several mornings or evenings when starting with a greatly rest ricted food intake. This will help to avoid or minimise unpleasant cleansing symptoms, such as weakn ess, pain or nausea. However, in many cases the ingested urine will already over -stimulate the bowels with liquid discharges and then no further action is neede d. Ingest only your own freshly voided urine. Normally urine is light yellow, clear and sterile, especially if collected mid-stream, but during reactions it may be come offensive and cloudy. When ingesting a large part of your urine you should check to make sure that it is not too acid. The morning urine normally is slight ly acid, but during the day it should be slightly alkaline. You can buy litmus or pH paper from a chemist. Litmus paper is red when dipped i nto an acid solution and blue when alkaline, neutral or pH 7 is in between both colours. With pH paper you get a colour chart to compare. If the urine remains a cid during the day, which usually happens with allergies and a weak sugar metabo lism or if eating much fruit, then take 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate once or several times daily in water, but not within 3 hours after meals, until the u rine remains alkaline during the day. However, those with cancer should use potassium bicarbonate (from a chemist) ins tead of sodium bicarbonate. If the body is too acid, sometimes the emotions beco me overly sensitive with a tendency to inflammations, mouth ulcers and strong sk in reactions. With cancer, oedema and infectious diseases the effectiveness of urine therapy c an be increased by taking daily 1-6 teaspoons of urea (e.g. in water or juices) in divided doses; you may take 3-6 teaspoons when only a small amount of urine i s ingested and progressively less with larger urine intakes, leaving it off comp letely when nearly half or more of the daily urine is ingested. Homoeopathic Urine A final possibility is to use urine in homoeopathic form. The simplest way to pr epare it is as follows: To one teaspoon of non-chlorinated water add one drop of fresh urine. Shake it v igorously in a small bottle about 50 times with a sharp downward stroke. One dro p of this mixture is then added to another teaspoon of water, shaken again and t hen the whole procedure repeated a third time. Place 3 drops under the tongue se veral times daily. When it is used up, wait a few days and then prepare a new ho

moeopathic remedy. In order to find the most effective potency add one more step to each subsequent preparation of the remedy, that is dilute it a fourth, a fif th and a sixth time and so forth. Start with such higher dilutions, say sixth po tency, especially if a remedy is made from fluid such as pus derived from a dise ased part of the body. An alternative method is even simpler and recommended as an introduction to urin e therapy and at times when cupfuls of urine are not tolerated. To 1 tablespoon of morning urine add 4 or 9 tablespoons of non-chlorinated water . Shake 50 times with a sharp downward stroke, and take a spoonful several times during the day; keep in the mouth for a minute before swallowing. Martin Lara (http://users.erols.com/martinlara/) developed a universal remedy supp osedly effective against all microbes. Dilute 2 drops of urine with 1 tablespoon of non-chlorinated water. During an infection keep one drop of this under the t ongue every 2 hours. Homoeopathically energised remedies should not be exposed to strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields. Keep this urine remedy only lightly covered in a cool pl ace but not in an electric refrigerator, and make up fresh daily. Social Considerations The main problem when starting urine therapy is our social conditioning. You may overcome that by reading and contemplating about the expected health benefits. The taste of urine is not normally offensive, except if the body is rather pollu ted or when fasting or with strongly concentrated urine. Therefore, dilute stron g urine, start with a small and gradually increasing amounts or have a day on fr uit before starting to ingest urine. Minimise salt and strong spices in the diet when on urine therapy. An easy way to drink urine or any other unpleasant fluid for beginners is by bre athing only through the mouth and possibly pinching the nose until the mouth has been rinsed with water or juice or a piece of fruit may be eaten. External Use For skin problems such as burns, wounds, gangrene, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis , fungus problems ageing skin as well as over inner tumours, inflammations and d iseased organs a urine or urea pack or a combination of both is very effective: keep the affected area covered with a folded cloth well moistened with urine or concentrated urea solution, put another cloth or plastic sheet on top, renew sev eral times daily. Urine becomes more alkaline when standing for a few hours and is then more effec tive than fresh urine for external applications. However it also smells much mor e and fresh urine seems to be adequate in my experience. With gangrene, dead fle sh, skin infections and open cancer and ulcer sores it is even more effective to saturate the applied urine with urea, that also removes offensive odours. With weeping or suppurating wounds, especially if associated with foul odour, it is a lso very beneficial to cover the area with dry urea crystals. Urine can be concentrated by leaving it for several hours in a flat dish in the sun or a warm place. This has been recommended by Armstrong for friction rubs to rejuvenate ageing skin. Armstrong also recommended urine packs over tumour site s or diseased organs in addition to rubbing the body daily for two hours with sm all amounts of urine.

The main problem with urine packs is the offensive odour. You may try to prevent it by sealing the pack with a good tape, such as duct tape. You may completely seal it and keep the pack moist by injecting fresh urine several times a day wit h a syringe. References 1. Armstrong, J.W., The Water of Life.

(The Bo ok of Proverbs 5:15)* But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to spea k these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? (Isaiah 36:12)* (See also 2 Kings 18:27)* More than three million Chinese drink their own urine in the belief it is go od for their health, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Urine therapy refers to one of several uses of urine to prevent or cure sickness , to enhance beauty, or to cleanse one's bowels. Most devotees drink the midstre am of their morning urine. Some prefer it straight and steaming hot; others mix it with juice or serve it over fruit. Some prefer a couple of urine drops mixed with a tablespoon of water applied sublingually several times a day. Some wash t hemselves in their own golden fluid to improve their skin quality. Many modern J apanese women are said to engage in urine bathing. The truly daring use their ow n urine as an enema. Urine is not quite the breakfast of champions, but it is th e elixir of choice of a number of holy men in India where drinking urine has bee n practiced for thousands of years. The drink is also the preferred pick-me-up f or a growing number of naturopaths and other advocates of "nature cures." The main attractions of this ultimate home brew are its cost, availability and porta bility. It is much cheaper than that other "water of life," whiskey (uisge beath a), which also has been hailed for its medicinal qualities. Unlike whiskey, howe ver, urine is always available, everyone carries a supply at all times, and, for most people, there are no intoxicating side effects. Furthermore, the urge to o verindulge is almost absent when drinking urine. The same can't be said for goo d single malt such as Highland Park or a good whiskey such as Black Bush. Many advocates claim that urine is a panacea. There is practically nothing it wo n't cure. Urine is said to be effective against the flu, the common cold, broken bones, toothache, dry skin, psoriasis and all other skin problems. It is said t o deter aging and is helpful with AIDS, allergies, animal and snake bites, as thma, heart disease, hypertension, burns, cancer, chemical intoxication, chicken pox, enteritis, constipation, and pneumonia. Urine is said to be effective agai nst dysentery, edema, eczema, eye irritation, fatigue, fever, gonorrhea, gout, b

loody urine, smallpox, immunological disorders, infections, infertility, baldnes s, insomnia, jaundice, hepatitis, Kaposi's sarcoma, leprosy, lymphatic disorder, urticaria, morning sickness, hangover, obesity, papilloma virus, parasitoses, gastric ulcer, rheumatism, birthmarks, stroke, congestion, lumbago, typhus, ga stritis, depression, cold sore, tuberculosis, tetanus, Parkinson's disease, foot fungus, and diabetes and other endocrine related diseases. Some enthusiasts see urine therapy as a divine manifestation of cosmic intelligence. They use urine to unleash their kundalini, sending it straight into the third eye, bringing ins tant enlightenment.* With such wondrous properties, it is amazing that science bothered developing me dicine when it had the key to good health already in the bottle, so to speak. Ea ch of us is a walking pharmacopoeia. Homer Smith (Man and His Gods) once wrote t hat "man is a machine for turning wine into urine." Little did he know that man is a machine for turning just about anything into a medicinal tonic. According t o urninophiles, the medical establishment has conspired to keep us ignorant of t he wonder drug we all carry in our bladders. One self-proclaimed expert on the s ubject claims ...the medical community has already been aware of [urine's] astounding effi cacy for decades, and yet none of us has ever been told about it. Why? Maybe the y think it's too controversial. Or maybe, more accurately, there wasn't any mone tary reward for telling people what scientists know about one of the most extrao rdinary natural healing elements in the world.* This is a common argument from defenders of alternative therapies: the greed of medical doctors leads them to conspire against chiropractors, chelation therapis ts, etc. The evidence for this conspiracy wouldn't fill a specimen beaker. Part of the alleged conspiracy to keep us ignorant of the wonders of our own wee wee is the fact that many people think urine is poisonous. Urine is generally not to xic and you will not die of uremic poisoning if you start your day off with a cu p of your own golden fluid. However, it hardly seems fair to blame the medical e stablishment for the general public's ignorance on this matter. In any case, jus t because something is not toxic does not mean it is good for you. Hair is not t oxic, either, and even though it might be a good source of roughage, it is gener ally not desirable to put hair in food. Furthermore, while it is true that some of the constituents of urine are being u sed and tested for their potential or actual therapeutic value, it does not foll ow that drinking one's urine is therapeutic. It may be discovered that one of th e chemicals in human urine is effective for fighting cancer. However, drinking one's own urine is not likely going to supply enough of any cancer-fighting subs tance to do any good. It is also true that some of the substances in urine are g ood for you. For example, if you are ingesting more vitamin C (a water soluble v itamin) than your body needs or can process, you will excrete it in your urine. It doesn't follow that drinking your urine is a good way to get vitamin C into y our body. An orange or a tablet might be preferable. However, if you are urinati ng excess vitamin C, what do you think your body will do with the vitamin C you ingest with your urine? If you guessed that it would get rid of it, you guessed right. The reason your urine contains vitamins and minerals is that your body di dn't need them or couldn't use them. You might as well pour water into a full gl ass as reuptake your excess vitamins and minerals. Even urea, which can be toxic in very high doses, occurs in such minute quantities in the average person's ur ine that there is very little chance of poisoning from drinking one's own urine . Unfortunately, however, not everybody can just jump right in and start drinking their own urine without negative side effects. The Chinese Association of Urine Therapy1 warns that

Common symptoms include diarrhea, itch, pain, fatigue, soreness of the s houlder, fever, etc. These symptoms appear more frequently in patients sufferin g long term or more serious illnesses, and symptoms may repeat several times. E ach episode may last 3-7 days, but sometimes it may last one month, or even wor se over 6 months. It is a pity that many give up urine therapy because of such bad episode [sic]. Recovery reaction is just like the darkness before sunrise. If one persists and overcomes the difficulty, one can enjoy the eventual happin ess of healthy life. These same people advise that "All kinds of throat inflammation can be helped by gargling with urine to which a bit of saffron has been added" and "drinking one ounce of urine . . . is more beneficial to the average person than a fully staf fed multi-billion dollar medical center." I was unable to find their evidence fo r these claims. Perhaps the evidence was produced at the First World Conference on Urine Therapy which took place in India in February 1996. Or maybe it came up in 1998 during the Second World Conference on Urine Therapy held in Germany. religion and urine The origin of this unusual practice seems to be certain religious rites among Hi ndus, where it is called amaroli in tantric religious traditions. The tantric tr adition is known for flouting conventional behavior as a means of establishing t he moral superiority of its practitioners. It is also possible that this practic e is related to superstitions based on sympathetic magic. Since urine is emitted from the same bodily organ used in sex, perhaps it was thought that by drinking one's urine one was swallowing some sort of sexual energizer. In any case, it is unlikely that Indians some 4,000 years ago had scientific reasons for drinki ng their own urine. In Siberia, some found drinking urine was a way to continue the hallucinogenic a nd spiritual effects of special mushrooms: In many regions where the fly agaric was consumed, it was a very expensive a rticle of trade-so expensive that frequently a tribesman traded a reindeer for o ne or two mushrooms. At certain times and in some areas, the mushrooms were natu rally rare and hard to find. During the long Siberian winters, the more affluent tribesmen were able to store up supplies of the dried mushrooms in large quanti ties for winter consumption. The poorer individuals, none the less anxious to us e the agaric, were often frustrated by the cost and limited supply of the plants . Whether as a result of this scarcity or not, these people discovered that th e urine of an intoxicated person was capable, when drunk, of inducing a similar intoxication in another individual. The effects from the urine are said to be on ly slightly less inebriating than of the dose of the mushroom itself. An early a ccount of this curious practice states of the Koryaks that "when they make a fea st, they pour water on some of these mushrooms and boil them. They then drink th e liquor, which intoxicates them; the poorer sort, who cannot afford to lay in a store of these mushrooms, post themselves on these occasions round the huts of the rich and watch the opportunity of the guests coming down to make water and t hen hold a wooden bowl to receive the urine, which they drink off greedily, as h aving still some virtue of the mushroom in it; and by this way they also get dru nk." Not only is the urine of another person drunk but an individual may utilize his own urine, frequently still warm, thus prolonging the action of the original mushrooms or renewing their effect several times. A drunken Koryak may even car ry his own urine with him on a reindeer trek to continue his intoxication as lon g as possible.*

This gives new meaning to the Beatle's line: "Get high with a little help from m y friends." blood, amniotic fluid, and urine Another rather unscientific notion which seems to be accepted by urinophiles is that urine is really blood, since it is the byproduct of blood filtering by the kidneys. It is unlikely that if you need a blood transfusion that urine will wor k just as well. Another misleading claim being made by urninophiles is that amniotic fluid is no thing but urine: fetal urine. If it is good for the fetus, it should be good for all of us. Here is what urine expert Martha Christy has to say on the subject: . . . the amniotic fluid that surrounds human infants in the womb is pri marily urine. Actually, the infant "breathes in" urine-filled amniotic fluid con tinually, and without this fluid, the lungs don't develop. Doctors also believe that the softness of baby skin and the ability of in-utero infants to heal quick ly without scarring after pre-birth surgery is due to the therapeutic properties of the urine-filled amniotic fluid. Some of the chemicals found in amniotic fluid are not going to be found in most urine samples. It is misleading, to say the least, to claim that amniotic fluid is "primarily" urine. It would be more accurate to say that they are both primar ily water. I don't know what doctors she is talking about, but most parents will tell you that when their babies came out of the womb their skin was anything bu t beautiful. Comparisons to wrinkly prunes are quite common. So is comparison to one's skin after being in the swimming pool for a long time. The baby's skin be comes soft only after it has been out of its liquid environment for some time. T here is a reason for that, according to Kim Kelly, a naturopathic doctor and nur se from Seattle. Newborns don't produce oil from their sebaceous glands until se veral weeks after their birth, which is why they often appear to have dry, flaky skin. Rather than amniotic fluid contributing to soft skin, according to Kelly, babies in the womb are protected by vernix, a creamy substance that serves as a barrier between the baby and the amniotic fluid. So, unless your urine is full of vernix, using it as a skin lotion is unlikely to work as a moisturizer. the nature of urine What is urine? Urine is usually yellow or clear, depending upon a person's healt h and diet. It usually has an ammonia-like odor due to the nitrogenous wastes th at make up about 5% of the fluid (the remaining 95% is water). Certain foods can affect the odor, however. For example, asparagus breaks down into several sulfu r-containing compounds that imparts a putrid odor upon excretion.* Urine is a slightly acidic fluid which carries waste from the kidneys to the out side world. The kidneys have millions of nephrons which filter toxins, waste, in gested water and mineral salts out of the bloodstream. The kidneys regulate bloo d acidity by excreting excessive alkaline salts when necessary. The chief consti tuent of the nitrogenous wastes in urine is urea, a product of protein decomposi tion. Urea is, among other things, a diuretic. Average adult urine production is from one to two quarts a day. The bladder, where urine is stored for discharge, holds on average about 16-20 ounces of fluid, though the average discharge is a bout half that amount. In addition to uric acid, ammonia, and creatine, urine co nsists of many other waste products in minute quantities. Being a waste product does not mean that a substance is toxic or harmful. It mea ns that the body cannot absorb the substance at the present time. We might think of many of urine's constituents as if they were leftovers from a meal. We could throw the excess food away or we could eat it later after diluting it substanti

ally with water and putting it in the blender. With urine, unfortunately, we can not ingest waste products in the form they had when first ingested. For most people most of the time, one's own urine is not likely to be harmful. H owever, it is not likely to be healthful or useful except for those rare occasio ns when one is buried beneath a building or lost at sea for a week or two. In su ch situations drinking one's own urine might be the difference between life and death. As a daily tonic, there are much tastier ways to introduce healthful prod ucts into one's blood stream.

Last updated 19-Dec-2011 ******************************** AN AMAZING UNTOLD STORY There is an extraordinary natural healing substance, produced by our own bodies, that modern medical science has proven to be one of the most powerful natural m edicines known to man. Unlike many other natural medical therapies, this method requires no monetary investment or doctor's intervention and can be easily acces sed and used at any time. The extensive medical research findings on this natural medicine have never been compiled and released to the general public before now, but those who have been fortunate enough to hear about this medicine and use it have found that it can produce often astounding healing even when all other therapies have failed. This book tells of the doctors, medical researchers and the hundreds of other pe ople who have used this extraordinary medicine throughout our century to cure a huge variety of common illnesses and combat even the most incurable diseases. Th is is the extraordinary untold story of a natural healing substance so remarkabl e that it can only be called our own perfect medicine. My own experience with this little-known natural medicine began as a result of m y search for an answer to many years of serious chronic illnesses that had begun very early in life. Like thousands of people today, I had developed chronic, de generative disorders that couldn't be helped by conventional medicine and which threatened to destroy permanently my ability to work, function and simply enjoy life. When I was young, I suffered through the same measles, mumps, chicken pox and co lds that everyone else did. And like other children, I played hard, worked hard, and dreamed of the day when I would become a vigorous, emancipated teenager, ju st like everyone else. But, for me, that particular dream wasn't going to come t rue. One beautiful July morning at the age of 12, I awoke with a start. Suddenly, sur prised and frightened, I realised I was lying in a dark red pool of blood that w as so large it had soaked through even the thick layers of my mattress. Tremblin g and weak, I pushed myself up out of bed and felt a horrible, wrenching pain te ar through my abdomen. My worried mother came running in answer to my screams, but, after assessing the situation, said there really wasn't much she could do about the pain of my firs t menstrual period. But what neither she nor I knew at the time was that what sh ould have been a natural transition to adolescence and menstruating was, for me, going to become a waking nightmare that lasted almost 30 years. At the onset of each one of my monthly menstrual periods I would invariably end up either in my doctor's office or at the emergency room of the hospital screami ng with pain, bleeding copiously and passing huge clots of blood. For several months after my 'periods from hell' began, my mother chauffeured me around the city from doctor to doctor with no success until our family doctor fi nally instituted a monthly regimen of painkillers such as Demerol or Darvon inje ctions and then sent me home with a big, round bottle of full-strength prescript ion codeine with which I proceeded to dope myself senseless for the next eight t o 10 days. This same cycle was repeated every month for almost 20 years.

Throughout adolescence, the simple everyday functions of getting up and going to school were an often monumental and utterly exhausting effort for me. Unlike th e rest of my family and friends, I had marked periods of extreme exhaustion. I b ecame extremely susceptible to colds and flu and felt bone-chillingly cold all t he time-even in the warmest summer weather. By the age of 14, the effort of combating severe chronic pain and fatigue while trying to keep up normal activities became impossible. I collapsed and had to be hospitalised and removed from school for several months. But even after a huge battery of medical tests and innumerable visits with doctors and specialists, no one was able to diagnose what was causing my problems. After many weeks I returned to school and struggled through the high-school year s with the aid of generous amounts of codeine and other strong painkillers that my doctor willingly prescribed. But by the time I left home for college, the sym ptoms of bleeding, exhaustion, pain and digestive problems became so bad that I often was unable even to leave my room or take part in daily activities. I kept up the Demerol injections and codeine for many years and added to my regi men several other new painkillers and drugs which had been developed for menstru al problems. But the problems continued unabated, and in the ensuing years I dev eloped myriad other serious health problems. During the years from age 18 to 30 I was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory dise ase, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or ileitis (a chronic, painful inflamma tion of the colon), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Hashimoto's disease (a disor der of the thyroid gland) and mononucleosis. I had severe chronic kidney infections, two miscarriages, chronic cystitis, seve re candida and external yeast infections along with marked adrenal insufficiency and serious chronic ear and sinus infections for which I was prescribed antibio tics on an ongoing basis for several years. Food and chemical allergies also bec ame a big problem, and even though I ate almost nothing because of my extreme fo od allergies, I actually kept gaining weight, which only added to the discomfort of all the other health disorders with which I was dealing. The bottles of drugs I had taken during this time could have filled a small land fill, but none of my illnesses or disorders had been resolved and, in fact, they were more debilitating than ever. It seemed as though I had become nothing more than a walking encyclopaedia of disease, and the worst part about the entire si tuation was that no matter how many failed drug therapies I tried, any visit to the doctor's office only resulted in another discouragin
