Has anyone tried drinking urine as alternative medicine? did it work?

I've researched urine therapy a couple of times over the past couple of years or so for articles I've written and I've never run across any credible reports of urine curing anything except a social taboo.  ;-)\n\nIt is, however, potentially dangerous and even the main pro-urine group warns against side effects like infection.

As far as I know, it should help. Very healthy to drink.

There is anecdotal evidence that there is some benefit, but until there is a large-scale study in a reputable journal that confirms it, I would stay away.\n\nAs for the dangers, there is no bacteria in urine unless you have a urinary tract infection.  The kidneys and lymph system make darn sure of that.  The rest of urine is really made up of water, nitrogen-containing compounds resulting mostly from protein metabolism, and various electrolytes such as sodium, chlorine, and potassium.

I drink like  a fish too. Was shocked to see results of a general blood test.\n\nNever actually believed in alternative medicine, but decided to try "Liv 52".  Friggin thing works!  I pop a Liv 52DS every single day from the past 2 years.  \n\nIt also helps to pop a "PartySmart" capsule (made by the same pharma: http://www.himalayahealthcare.com/) about half an hr before a binge.\n\nOne year later, my liver fn test is more or less normal - I haven't cut down on the booze ;-)

Research alternative cures. Over 100 are available, but your doctor isn't allowed to tell you about them.\n\nI have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.\nEventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html\n\nBy reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.\n\nI believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.\n\nSome cures are listed on the web page too.\n\nIt is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.\n\nCLEANSING\nThe best way of cleansing is to fast.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org/menses.html\nhttp://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1996\n\nbut if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available.\n\n\nColon Cleanse\nhttp://www.soundfeelings.com/free/colon_cleansing.htm#recipe\nBowel cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/schulze/herbal_colon_cleanse_1_2.asp\nkidney cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/default.asp\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_12678_kidney-cleansing-fast.html\nhttp://www.falconblanco.com/health/cleansing/kidney.html\nhttp://www.healingdaily.com/colon-kidney-detoxification.htm\nhttp://www.healthfree.com/cleansing_programs_kidney.html\nLiver cleanse\nhttp://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.php\nGallbladder cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/default.asp\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp\nPancreas cleanse\nhttp://curezone.com/dis/1.asp?C0=261\n\nDIET,\nThe best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables - preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice.\n\nMany researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods:\nApple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.\n\nA commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile.\n\nEXERCISE\nExercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best.\n\nDEBUGGING\nThere are various theories about how bugs create cancer.\n\nHulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper.\n\nZappers are available from\n\nSuper Zapper DeLuxe\nhttp://www.drclark.net      Clark Zapper with amazing features get a free CD ROM\n\nhttp://www.paradevices.com/zapper_works.html\n\nTerminator Crystal Orgone Zapper Blood Purification Parasite Solution\nElectrical stimulation devices for blood purification, parasites, relaxation, and addictions.\nhttp://www.elixa.com/estim/zap.htm\n\nHigh frequency parasite zappe

Well it's has been shown to be beneficial to the urinary tract. I guess all of the plumbing is connected. It will help if you have a urinary tract infection, but you should never take infections lightly, if you feel burning or discomfort when you urinate, you should see your doctor. Some conditions if left untreated by a medical professional can lead to more damage or illness. \n\nI believe the acidic content helps to clear ecoli bacteria from the urinary tract is what you will find if you read about it on an herbal remedy web page. They also sell cranberry concentrate in the herbal section of your department store. It does help, but it's not a substitute for a medical evaluation or treatment if you are already feeling ill. \n\nGood luck!

.. I can tell you that I have cured many bladder infections literally in a matter of hours,.. through the simple application of what is referred to as "Moxabustion",.. in Chinese Medicine. ... You would want to find a certified acupuncturist to recieve this treatment,... which involves the application of heat via a slow burning herb; "Moxa",.. to specific acupuncture points on the body. .... The treatment takes about ten minutes and is completely painless. In fact it usually feels quite good to the reciever.\n\nYou need to know that it is also very important that you eliminate all sugar, refined foods, alcohol, and cold foods or drinks from your diet. Such foods will promote the infection and must be eliminated in order to promote and maintain a healthy functioning kidney/bladder system. ............ \n\nReplace them with plenty of raw, organic, dark green veggies, ... such as raw spinach and lightly steamed Kale. ............. A great juice to drink every day to help maintain a good acid/alkaline balance in your kidney/bladder system,.. is "Pure" .. Cranberry Juice. ... This is not the likes of Ocean Spray cranberry juice which has corn syrup and other sweeteners added to it and you should avoid like the plague. ... I am referring to a straight up pure cranberry juice that has nothing added to it and no dilution done to it. .......... \n\nThis is a very bitter juice to the taste,.. but you will feel the benefit it provides you when you drink it,.. as it will help alot to maintain the proper alkaline balance in your body,.. which is crucial towards avoiding infection in your urinary system. ..... If you find it too bitter to tolerate,.. you could dilute it 50/50 with water. ... You will have to find a good Health Food Store near you to find this type of juice.

I've seen soldiers doing this in the desert: \nThey dig a small hole in the sand and put urine in it. They put a cup in the middle of this hole, and on top they put a clear plastic cloth, with a stone in the middle, so the lower part is right above the cup. Water from urine evaporates quickly an begins droping in the cup. They actually drink this and they say its 100% pure water.\nThis is just one way how it can be done.

I can tell you something my husband recommends, I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for him.\n\nDay of testing:  Get up 4 hours before the test and drink 2 ounces of pickle juice (dill or sweet don't matter as long as it is not spicy).  Slam water (as much as your able to, a gallon is what you want to shoot for).  Then 2 hours before drink another 2 ounces of pickle juice and slam water (again, a gallon is what to shoot for).  \n\nThe water gives you a diluted specium and the pickle juice masks the dilute by making your urine more acidic.  If you don't smoke for a couple of days it will help.

I've used them.  They work really well at flushing out your system, and can be beneficial not only toward weight loss, but may have some benefits toward treating minor arthitis.  One complaint is that it can make urine smell really pungent from the vinegar.  Other than that, the pills are not bad.

I don't think herbal solutions are at all effective.\nLook here:

Yeah, it does seem to do wonders. I make it and drink it about 4 times per year, and usually combine it with a weekend of fasting. It stimulates the nervous and endocrine systems, which increase a person's energy. It also treats these conditions:\n\n1. Chronic fatigue\n2. Insomnia\n3. Weakness\n4. Anxiety\n\nIt even helps to increase attractiveness! (Brightening the eyes, improving vision, prolonging youth and invigorating the body)\n\nAncient Chinese tradition also says that it: Quiets the animal spirits (whatever that means - I think this is referring to its help with anxiety and insomnia) and stabilizes the soul.\n\nYou can make your own ginseng tea like this:\n\n(2 servings)\n\n1 sliced ginseng root\n2 cups water\n\nPlace ginseng root in a small glass jar and pour in two cups boiling water and cover. Place this at the cottom of a larger pot with water and let the water simmer for 6-8 hours, watching water levels. (to prevent the jar from breaking, place it on top of a small cloth or towel when in the bigger pot) Drink one cup of tea before bed and another in the morning.\n\nSome experts think one should only drink this tea on a once per month basis or when fasting. The Chinese believe it should only be taken at the beginning of each seasonal cycle.

Not tried it.  Look at studies:\n\nWhite Kidney Bean Extract Induces Weight Loss\nKEARNY, N.J.--Phase 2, a concentrated starch neutralizer extracted from the white kidney bean, proved effective for weight loss, according to final results of a clinical trial released by Pharmachem Laboratories Inc. on Dec. 10. The study, which the company noted is being considered for publication, involved 50 subjects who were randomly assigned to receive Phase 2 or placebo for eight weeks. Subjects taking Phase 2 lost an average of 3.8 pounds, which was approximately 200-percent more than the loss experienced in the placebo group, according to the company (www.pharmachemlabs.com). And, subjects taking Phase 2 also lost 1.5 inches from their waists, which was 43-percent more than the reduction seen in the placebo group. \n\n"One of the most surprising results of the study was the impact that the starch neutralizer had on triglycerides, a form of bad cholesterol," said Jay Udani, M.D., medical director of the Integrative Medicine Program at Northridge Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles. "There was a dramatic 26-point drop in triglyceride levels, on average, for patients taking the starch neutralizer, while those on placebo averaged only an 8-point drop in triglyceride levels."

I have had a really bad cough this past week and the only natural remedy that has worked for me is a humidifier and drinking lots of water to make the cough more productive and to also make the cough not so dry to where it hurts so bad to cough!\nI know that's a runon sentence, oh well, but I think you got my point!
