This is really for those who have a strong stomach
At my LLMD today. She does alternative therapies for Lyme as well as regular medical. She called this the "gross out" factor. Has anyone heard of the drinking of one's own urine (in small homeopatheic) amounts mixed with water and or taking your own urine and massaging your scalp and body with it? She showed me articles where it has cured cancer, shrunk tumors and some of her really sick Lyme patients improved with it. Not sure I could ever go there but there are many books (if you google urine therapy) that I read about after I got home. Knowing it is there if all else fails I guess is (gross) a good thing.
How disappointing!
I tried the mushroom once, big orange speckled ones that grow in pine forests. The buzz it gives is all too much like having a hangover! Ugh!
That I could do, LOL
There is or was, a Siberian tribe that ate Amanita Muscaria mushrooms for the buzz. The active ingredient of the mushrooms is known as muscimol. It passes intact via the urine, so it was a practice of this tribe to tinkle in a community pot and drink the collected urine to keep the buzz going.
I commend her for telling me about it because it is "the gross factor" but she showed me the proof of it working, not for me either but its an option for some who are really not doing well on regular protocols.
From a UK newspaper article on this topic:
* Urine is 95 per cent water, but it also contains small quantities of nutrients including calcium, folic acid, iron, magnesium and zinc.
* The actress Sarah Miles is an aficionado of drinking her own urine, while the author JD Salinger was also a fan.
* Self-urine therapy dates back 5,000 years to ancient India, where it was known as "shivambu shastra" and seen as a way of rejuvenating body and soul.
* Male porcupines use their urine to soften the female's quills before mating, while vultures urinate on their legs to cool themselves.
* Advocates claim it has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer properties.
* Research in the 1990s claimed that drinking urine could cure jet lag.
* It is highly sterile. The Aztecs used it to prevent wounds becoming infected.
* The practice is particularly popular in China, where millions of people drink a daily dose of their own urine.
* In Cameroon, people were banned from drinking their own urine in 2003 amid health concerns. They were warned that transgressors would be prosecuted.
* Some fans believe the Bible recommends urine therapy. A verse in Proverbs advises: "Drink waters from thy own cistern, flowing water from thy own well."
===============================
Conclusion: Not for me!
(... and no wonder people think LLMDs are strange sometimes. Sigh.)

First time I have heard that one! Nothing personal, but it sounds really disgusting. Nothing like reingesting the waste and toxins the body already got rid of once!
Recently there were promos on TLC about a woman who was addicted to drinking her own urine. I would shudder, mute the TV, and look away.
