The
About.com urban legends forum has a thread going about auto-urine therapy, which translates into 'drinking your own urine'. Is there really a thriving urine-drinking subculture? Well, yes. As the poster points out, all you have to do is google 'drinking your own urine' and you get all kinds of hits. The reason urine-drinking has so many fans is that it's supposed to offer numerous health benefits, including improving the immune system, giving you nice skin, acting great as a gargle if you have gum disease, and having very powerful anti-aging properties. I think I've mentioned before somewhere on my site that I have personal experience with this urine-drinking subculture. NOT that I've ever drunk the stuff myself (and I definitely never plan to). But I do have a relative who, according to family scuttlebutt, used to do it. She was into all the new-age, alternative medicine stuff like that. In her defense I have to say that she's now approaching 90 and is still in excellent health. In fact, she could probably pass for a sixty-year old. So maybe there's something to it (though I've still got no plans to try it out). I'm actually going to her house on Christmas day for dinner. I don't plan to sample the apple juice in her fridge.

I had very nice flawless skin until a few years ago. I have tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. Well, they seem to work for just a few days and bam!! the acne comes back in full swing.
Although I dont think I can bring myself to drink my own urine yet, I intend to start using it on my face to get rid of my acne.
I'll post my finding when I start on it.
There are guys who piss directly into their own mouths, as a seXual turn on-(which I must admit is pretty hot to see!)
But what about consuming somebody else urine though??
There's a reason you pee in the first place
"Urban legend"?
In Europe, at least, this has been known for many generations. I learnt about it from my grandmother, and she learnt it from her grandmother. My grandmother's skin and hair at age 74, when I last saw her before moving far away, was the envy of many women.
The same is true of my own skin and hair.
Using urine daily instead of tonics and creams certainly hasn't damaged it, as far as I can see.
I am very healthy anyway, so I don't know how NOT drinking urine would have affected my health. In the past fifteen years it certainly hasn't harmed it.
The squeamishness of people, not to mention their ignorance, is the funniest of all.
They gobble jello - made from dead cows' bones - and smear their faces with cosmetic creams containing cow's piss, but they are afraid of their own urine?
And how does this qualify as a "hoax", anyway?
I am sorry for all those who are victims of their own mental limitations.
But I have learnt that is about as much as I can do.
After being a devotee of the role of the "Super-successful-young-alpha-male" (James Bond style, you know)
Last year, at the age of 29, I've had the shingles.
Yes, your "lovely" western medics will say its RARE. That usually its only OLD people. Or people with low immune systems (Like cancer or aids) Then they'll rush into giving you that Zovirax or that injection.
Some reading online will make you find out that its just another lie. Their Chickenpox vaccine is "In-directly" responsible for a growing phenomena of YOUNGER PEOPLE WITH SHINGLES. Why? How? well, Shingles / Herpes zoster is the same virus as the Chicken Pox, hence since there are hardly any kids around with chickenpox in the western world;
There is hardly any exposure, and without the slightest exposure our bodies CAN'T develop Any antibodies to that virus. So we become PRONE TO IT MUCH YOUNGER AGE.
Either way, a Shingles outbreak Shingles can torture even the strongest . It can depress the most optimistic, happiest person you've ever met. It can destroy any desire to live.
After putting on that "Zovirax" cream and waiting for 4 days the shingles were gone,
And it seemed like there's a cure.
A year after I was suffering another "RARE" incident of Recurring shingles, this time the pain was back in the same place, with the same symptoms and I wanted to kill myself.
So, just before I took the plunge I decided to give it a try. This was 3 days ago. Without any fear or shame. With heaps of the most excruciating pain, I've drank my own piss.
The pain vanished. Completely the NEXT DAY.
Placebo? Maybe.
Guy with a white suit who escaped an asylum? Maybe.
You might be right, either way, thanks to this website and others documenting testimonials Its gone, no more pain. I'm going to keep on doing it. (Did the mid stream thing, orally, and didn't go all diet-maniac which means kept on smoking and drinking for a bit)
So the sum this comment up,
You might be right about me being crazy, but you've OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAD SHINGLES PAIN. Hopefully, you never will too.
If you do happen to be one of the unfortunates, let this be an interest-free encouragement to a mind opening experience. It's cheaper than zovirax, and from someone who tried BOTH, this worked faster and more effectively for me (If you're in pain now than drink / rub it on NOW, avoid waiting for Tommorow morning's mid-stream)
(there's no benefit for me by doing this. Other than keeping the balance and passing on the knowledge that was given to me)
