I asked a group of people if they knew what URINE THERAPY is. I am still recovering from some of the responses I got. Here are a few gems. A lady said, “What I know is that urine is very powerful, if someone keeps any juju for you, if you urinate on it, it cannot catch you”. She even went further to say, “some days when I have a bad dream, I put urine in my bathing water to ward away evil spirits”. At that point, all I could do was try to ward away thoughts of whether or not I shook her hand or hugged her on any of the days she was ‘warding’ off evil spirits. Another guy agreed with her and said, “If you see money on the road and you want to pick it, just urinate on it and if someone had put something in it, it will not affect you”. I’d like to say here that these are educated people talking.
At this point I’d like to differenciate between Urine Therapy and “Urine the evil destroyer“. urine therapy is using (your own) urine internally or externally as a way to aid or sustain your health and it includes drinking, injecting, massaging with-, and/or bathing in- urine.
There have been many documented cases of people surviving on their own urine in life or death situations. e.g In Egypt, rescue workers found a 37-year old man alive in earthquake rubble. He survived almost 82 hours by drinking his own urine. His wife, daughter and mother would not and they died.
Advocates are touting that the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175 known diseases. e.g heart disease, rabies, and tuberculosis, AIDS, growths and cancers etc. I have actually seen where washing the eyes with fresh urine cured Cunjuctivitis (Apollo) in two days.I have even heard that mixing aged urine (4-8days old) with onions can cure acne pimples. And applying plain aged urine on the skin for one hour everyday will lighten it. So ladies, make room for the urine bottle on your dressing tables.
So with all the said benefits of urine therapy, the bottom-line question is, would you drink your urine? If I was to answer that, I’d remember that my mother has always told me that there are certain things that an UN-MARRIED woman should NEVER admit to, and so my answer will be “GOD FORBID, I’D RATHER DIE”.
