Alternative Healing – Urine Luck!
I notice a book sitting on the table with some goofy looking guy holding a half full martini glass with a ridiculous grin on his face. At a healing retreat you find all kinds of unique info. As it happens the book was all about urine which is what is (presumably) swirling in place of actual gin. I don’t recall any olive.
Urine for a surprise at that party …. Ok. Ahem. Back to the alternative natural healing retreat.
Many years ago there was only one main brand of bottle water, and since we were detoxing everyone carried a bottle around. And some of those had a suspicious yellow tinge. Best not to look too close I thought. Made sure my generic looking bottle was WELL marked lest there be a mix up.
Apparently the couple running the show had been using urine for years as part of their alternative medicine healing. Every day in fact. As it happens one of them ended up very ill and took up the practice in desperation. He explained that the body self corrects and just “knows”. A little too vague for me to give it a go however. And now…. the moment has passed for me to try this altnernative medicine. Healing for me isn’t life or death at the moment.
I did ask him about breath smell (I gotta know about things like that) and he said you couldn’t tell and went on to mention how they use it on skin. I kept my distance from everyone just in case. I’m curious, just not THAT curious. No need to tempt fate is there?
Thus ended my adventure into this form of alternative medicine. Healing for me isn’t that extreme just yet.
It isn’t recommended that urine drinking be combined with alcohol or drug consumption including.
Make sure you research properly before trying it especially if you are pregnant or currently have a junk food diet.
The thing is that there are many stories around about how drinking your own urine (yes, has to be your own) can heal you when all else fails. And there are even more stories that circulate many of which include urine faithfully applied to skin conditions. Interesting.
Not only is urine sterile, but it is overflowing with nutrients. This is because unused nutrients pass through urine, while waste products are defecated and exhaled.
Remember the episode of Black Adder titled “Potato”? They are meant to travel to the Cape of Good Hope and end up utterly lost. To survive they drink there own urine. This left a lasting impression in my mind about survival.
If nothing else it is interesting to consider intellectually what this form of alternative natural healing can do for you.
In Basic and Clinical Immunology (1982) Dr William Linscott showed that when antigen receptors (white blood cells that are now attacking what they shouldn’t) are reintroduced into your body the body will create antibodies to them. Good to know because if nothing else worked I’d get over my initial reaction and give this a try. I think I’d have to be fairly sick first.
If you are interested in looking further into this form of alternative healing urine luck because there are a selection of titles available (oh the fun they would have had thinking these up)…

* The Golden fountain
* Your Own Perfect Medicine

Yep, don’t think the golden flood will help if this goes through. Sounds bizzare – checked snopes and couldn’t see anything specific though there was another entry about conceeding sovereignty…..! With the economy in turmoil who can predict what their next move will be?? I don’t think it will happen, but just in case…
Keri,
Slighly Heard of the “Urine Theraphy” before.
Funny thing is when
most of us are chronically dehydrated, there are even more nasty stuff in urine, so ….
Well, I give it a pass unless I’m in a desert and can’t find any enough water, then I need to take the plunge!

Not convinced…if your body decided to get rid of it in the first place, I can’t see there being any long term gain in re-introducing it, unless you’re particularly thirsty and need the water content.
It’s not even good for jellyfish stings…although an often touted remedy. See http://firstaid.about.com/od/bitesstings/f/07_JellyfishPee.htm

I’m going to ask my yoga friends if they’ve tried Shivambu Gita Holy Water Therapy! lol.
Shivambu Gita Holy Water Therapy
To quote the article
I only see partial logic in this. Urine is urine, not fresh water, with a different pH. If you are unfortuante to get stung by the deadly box jellyfish you need an ER asap.
LOL someone, somewhere is getting paid good money for that Holy Water.
Never heard of this form of alternative healing. Hard to believe but then if you pay attention in life you hear all kinds of things.

Good lord. I’ll wait for more convincing evidence on this method.

Hi Keri,
Like the first person who ate Lobster must have been desperate, I can only think of one situation in which I would drink my own golden shower and that would be in a “sans water” life threatening situation, and then, of course I would. Because my own life is precious.
I just want to KNOW WHO and WHY this one STARTED?
And who “discovered” it was good for your skin? So is fish sperm. One wonders how it got started. I’m thinking there was a golden showers encounter that got out of hand over an extended weekend and someone emerged with magnificent skin Monday morning. I mean that is the ONLY scenario I can think of!

ROFL! I never gave a thought to how it all started……you are right though….how else could it have happened?? And I don’t care how beautiful my skin would be there is no way in hell I want to get caught in the middle of an anchovie mating fest. Eeew!
Hi Keri, I remember researching this out of curiousity about 15 years ago and then I moved to Berkeley . . .
In 2004 I lived in Berkeley and the city council thought it was important to recapture waste products from the toilet for garden usage….
So here’s the rest of the story. My Dad is a biochemist and we talked about it.
1. Yes, urine is sterile – WHILE it is in the body, upon exit, it touches skin, no longer sterile – this is problematic if you have “issues” in that area.
2. If used in your garden (not the use you are discussing, but worth noting), the plants can concentrate whatever you’re putting out – whether that be minerals or herpes. You’re not going to catch herpes from a tomato, but you might start mutating your plants and who knows what you’ll end up with….
Of course being Berkeley, they wanted to capture solid waste as well as liquid. I raised a stink about it (*snicker*) with the biochemists and am pretty sure the project was shut down.
There is a very real reason we developed sewers folks!
And I thought Tequila was bad. No way on the Urine.

The closest thing I have ever heard to this was some kid in high school told me if you put your own urine on your acne it would cure it. Luckily I never had acne so I didn’t need to even entertain the thought. Drink it? NO WAY!

Yikes.
Um, wouldn’t that concentrate salts? Isn’t that would leads to kidney and gallbladder stones?
