Does drinking urine have health benefits?



The exact number of people in the Orient who drink urine is not known but the numbers are not minuscule. For some reason, there is a myth of gigantic proportions that urine is the “fountain of youth” and can keep a person healthy. In fact there are many people (both men and women) who secretly dap their skin with urine for treatment of acne, psoriasis, eczema and many other skin disorders.

In India and SE Asian countries, alternative healthcare practitioners routinely recommend drinking of urine to cure all types of ailments.

But the question is does it work? Does urine have medicinal powers?

Even though many celebs and senior politicians in the Orient often hype up the benefits of urine, most of these people are clueless. There is not a single randomized study, which has ever shown that urine can cure or heal any medical disorder.

The real answer is that urine is junk. It is simply water that carries filtered body waste products. It is no different to drinking water from the gutter. The kidneys remove many types of waste from the blood and why anyone would want to drink this waste product is a real mystery. The only time drinking of urine is recommended is if you are stranded in the middle of the desert without food and water.

People drink urine because of folklore tales that have hyped up urine as the ‘golden elixir’ when in fact it is just waste. It is unlikely that one can get sick from drinking urine because it is sterile but do not expect health miracles. If urine had all medicinal powers that people claim, than we would have never developed pharmaceutical industries.

So unless you are retarded and have no common sense, leave urine off your menu. However, there is no harm in having a golden shower with it if you like- some people find that erotic.
