Chinese Medicine - urine

[nfn]

I'm led to believe that drinking one's own urine is recommended to increase vitality, prolong youth and generally enhance one's appearance. I have been doing this faithfully for a full 7 days and as yet, I can observe no obvious improvement.

Does anyone else have any experience of this practice, if so how long does one need to persevere and are the results suitably beneficial?

Many thanks

Take too much and you'll become a p1ss-head!

I would appreciate serious answers

Sorry, thought u were taking the pi$$.

Ew. Umm, having had no experience in drinking my own pi$$, I couldn't help you....but I am curious. What does it taste like? No, actually, don't answer that.

Why not just have your 5 fruit and veg a day instead? It's a darn site tastier...

....mmm....did you REALLY expect serious answers? Personally I think you were crazy or it has sent you crazy in the 7 days you have been doing this disgusting thing...........That is my serious answer....

you pee for a reason--------your body is expelling the bits it doesn't want, and goes to great efforts to filter them. Probably best not to ask it to do it twice.

To get the whole 'prolonged youth' thing going, you need to be drinking urine for 78 years.

Licking a 'poo-pop' will add a week to your life too.

I disagree with you guys. Drinking urine CAN be beneficial. By drinking it your body has a second chance to filter it through your kidneys. Urine can also be good for your skin, next time you buy a skin product, look at the ingredients. If it contains urea, you guessed it: urine.

Hi nfn. For the past 2 years I have eaten only organic and raw foods and I am a firm believer in urine therapy. I have noticed a major difference. It is amazingly detoxifying and purifying for the body, but you should put it through the necessary filters before drinking it. You don't need to drink it daily. Twice a week is fine. Top tip: drink it warm as the effects are better.
