A brief history of athletes drinking their own urine

Taking the piss: a brief history of athletes drinking their own urine

An NFL player confessed this week to drinking his own urine during the pre-season, but Ben Jones is hardly the first athlete to recycle his bodily fluids

Ben Jones, an offensive lineman with the Houston Texans, made headlines this week when he confessed to drinking a cup of his own urine to win a bet against his team-mates. “We were having a good time, and whatever makes the team better,” the fourth-year center recalled. “I was just enjoying it – and anytime I can get a laugh out of it, I’ll do it.” Naturally.

Jones, who is described by team-mate Charles James as “a pretty nasty guy”, is hardly the first sportsman to find value in recycling his bodily fluids. Yet many of the Alabama native’s predecessors have consumed urine not in search of the anarchic jollity of a sophomoric sight gag, but in fact a competitive edge.

The great Mexican champion Juan Manuel Márquez famously showcased the practice ahead of his 2009 fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. “This is something I have been doing for the past six or seven fights, and it has given me good results,” Marquez, who has held world titles in four weight classes, said during an episode of HBO’s documentary series 24/7. “If you drink or inject yourself with vitamins, you release them every time you go to the bathroom. Why not put them back in your body orally?”

A ringing endorsement it was not – Marquez lost a hugely lopsided decision – but it hasn’t stopped others from giving it a shot. See the mixed martial artist Lyoto Machida, who told a Brazilian magazine that drinking urine was a longstanding family tradition: “My father does that for a long time and bring it to us. People think it’s a joke. I never said it in the United States because I don’t know how the fans will react. I drink my urine every morning like a natural medicine.”

MMA fighter Luke Cummo, who soared to fame after appearing in the second season of The Ultimate Fighter, is another proponent of pee drinking. Notorious on the show for idiosyncrasies such as insisting that his bed point north so that he could align his own energy, or chi, with that of the earth, Cummo also advocated the consumption of his own waste. He reasoned that urine “contains minerals, hormones and elements that bind moisture to protein”, and said that his practice of drinking it was all part of the body’s recycling process. He also insisted the alternative application of human urine is a more common practice than Americans think, a fact to which any regular on Craigslist’s Casual Encounters listings can attest.

Certainly, urophagia, the practice of drinking one’s own urine, also known as urine therapy, has deep roots in other cultures. In 1978, the Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai, a longtime practitioner of urine therapy, spoke to Dan Rather on 60 Minutes about the practice. Desai stated that urine therapy was the perfect medical solution for the millions of Indians who cannot afford medical treatment. According to claims by members of the China Urine Therapy Association, more than 100,000 people in mainland China are current practitioners.

Urine therapy is not limited to merely drinking urine, however. Former MLB standout Moisés Alou, a six-time All-Star and career .303 hitter, revealed that he’d urinate on his hands to toughen them up. Alou, one of the few major leaguers who didn’t wear gloves while batting, was joined by former New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who once quipped, “You don’t want to shake my hand during spring training.” Even erstwhile Cubs hurler Kerry Wood mentioned trying the technique to remedy blisters on his pitching hand, although he added that this was as a last resort. “Someone tells you something works,” Wood said, and we are given a brief glimpse into the life of a pro athlete, willing to try anything to gain that edge.

But what are the purported health benefits of urine, which is 95% water but also contains minerals, proteins, vitamins and antibodies? Yoshizo Machida, Lyoto’s father and Japan’s answer to a wrestling dad, contends that ingesting your own urine acts as a “natural medicine” that flushes out the system, aiding in digestion and preventing the build-up of harmful bacteria. Other urine-drinkers swear by its immune system boosting properties and skin-softening abilities.

Still, drinking your urine has no documented benefits. Skeptics say the 5% that isn’t water contains things the body is trying to get rid of. “Think about it like drinking ocean water,” says Jeff Giullian, a nephrologist at South Denver Nephrology Associates in Colorado. “It’s going to dehydrate you and do significantly more harm than good.”

Bear Grylls, the adventurer and host of TV show Man vs Wild, has been filmed several times drinking his own urine in order to avoid dehydration. “Can it save your life?” he asked rhetorically during a recent episode. “Yes, in some situations. Although you read about these people who do it for fun at home. I’m not like that. I’m weird, but I’m not that weird.”

Which more or less settles it. Even if the physiological benefits of Jones’s wee pint are dubious, its value as a comic set piece remains beyond dispute.

Vegetarian Nikola Tesla

North America: early 20th Century

PRODIGAL GENIUS
The Life of Nikola Tesla by John J. O'Neill (1944)

"With the passing decades, Tesla shifted away from a meat diet. He substituted fish, always boiled, and finally eliminated the meat entirely. He later almost entirely eliminated the fish and lived on a vegetarian diet. Milk was his main standby, and toward the end of his life it was the principal item of diet, served warm. As a youth he drank a great deal of coffee, and, while he gradually became aware that he suffered unfavorable influences from it, he found it a difficult habit to break. When he finally made the decision to drink no more of it, he adhered to his good intentions but was forced to recognize the fact that the desire for it remained. He combated this by ordering with each meal a pot of his favorite coffee, and having a cup of it poured so that he would get the aroma. It required ten years for the aroma of the coffee to transform itself into a nuisance so that he felt secure in no longer having it served. Tea and cocoa he also considered injurious. He was a heavy smoker in his youth, mostly of cigars. A sister who seemed fatally ill, when he was in his early twenties, said she would try to get better if he would give up smoking. He did so immediately. His sister recovered, and he never smoked again."

A MACHINE TO END WAR
Liberty, February 1937 by Nikola Tesla as told to George Sylvester Viereck

"MORE people die or grow sick from polluted water than from coffee, tea, tobacco, and other stimulants. I myself eschew all stimulants. I also practically abstain from meat. I am convinced that within a century coffee, tea, and tobacco will be no longer in vogue. Alcohol, however, will still be used. It is not a stimulant but a veritable elixir of life. The abolition of stimulants will not come about forcibly. It will simply be no longer fashionable to poison the system with harmful ingredients. Bernarr Macfadden has shown how it is possible to provide palatable food based upon natural products such as milk, honey, and wheat. I believe that the food which is served today in his penny restaurants will be the basis of epicurean meals in the smartest banquet halls of the twenty-first century. There will be enough wheat and wheat products to feed the entire world, including the teeming millions of China and India, now chronically on the verge of starvation. The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900."

THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO THE HARNESSING OF THE SUN'S ENERGY.
by Nikola Tesla, Century Illustrated Magazine, June 1900

"A thousand other evils might be mentioned, but all put together, in their bearing upon the problem under discussion, they could not equal a single one, the want of food, brought on by poverty, destitution, and famine. Millions of individuals die yearly for want of food, thus keeping down the mass. Even in our enlightened communities, and not withstanding the many charitable efforts, this is still, in all probability, the chief evil. I do not mean here absolute want of food, but want of healthful nutriment. How to provide good and plentiful food is, therefore, a most important question of the day. On the general principles the raising of cattle as a means of providing food is objectionable, because, in the sense interpreted above, it must undoubtedly tend to the addition of mass of a "smaller velocity." It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think, therefore, that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the established barbarious habit. That we can subsist on plant food and perform our work even to advantage is not a theory, but a well-demonstrated fact. Many races living almost exclusively on vegetables are of superior physique and strength. There is no doubt that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more economical than meat, and superior to it in regard to both mechanical and mental performance. Such food, moreover, taxes our digestive organs decidedly less, and, in making us more contented and sociable, produces an amount of good difficult to estimate. In view of these facts every effort should be made to stop the wanton and cruel slaughter of animals, which must be destructive to our morals. To free ourselves from animal instincts and appetites, which keep us down, we should begin at the very root from which we spring: we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food. There seems to be no philosophical necessity for food. We can conceive of organized beings living without nourishment, and deriving all the energy they need for the performance of their lifefunctions from the ambient medium. In a crystal we have the clear evidence of the existence of a formative life-principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is none the less a living being."

SPEECH ON BEHALF EDISON MEDAL PRIZE
A speech delivered before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers,
May 18, 1917.

"On this occasion, you might want me to say something of a personal and more intimate character bearing on my work. One of the speakers suggested: "Tell us something about yourself, about your early struggles." If I am not mistaken in this surmise I will, with your approval, dwell briefly on this rather delicate subject. I may say, also, that I am deeply religious at heart, although not in the Orthodox meaning, and that I give myself to the constant enjoyment of belleving that the greatest mysteries of our being are still to be fathomed and that, all the evidence of the senses and the teachings of exact and dry sciences to the contrary notwithstanding, death itself may not be the termination of the wonderful metamorphoses we witness. In this way I have managed to maintain an undisturbed peace of mind, to make myself proof against adversity, and to achieve contentment and happiness to a point of extracting some satisfaction even from the darker side of life, the trials and tribulations of existence. I have fame and untold wealth, more than all this, and yet - how many articles have been written in which I was declared to be an impractical unsuccesful man, and how many poor, struggling writers, have called me a visionary. Such is the folly and shortsightedness of the world!"

Fermented Urine: The Buddha’s Medicine

Fermented Urine: The Buddha's Medicine

compiled and annotated by Brother Promise


The Buddha recommended his disciples to use fermented urine as their go-to medicine.


Puti = fermented

Mutta = urine

Bhesajja = medicine

Putimuttabhesajja = Fermented urine as medicine


Though some commentators explained the Pali expression putimuttabhesajja to mean fermented cow's urine, nowhere is the word cow (gavi or go) mentioned in the original texts. Others have explained the word puti to mean "that which is repulsive" and implied that the Buddha recommended fresh urine therapy-- drinking one's own fresh urine "although it is repulsive". But puti clearly means fermented, putrid, decomposing. For instance the word "corpse" in Pali is putikaya, that is a rotten, decomposing body.

https://palidictionary.appspot.com/browse/p/p%C5%ABti


What follows are quotes of the Buddha from the Pali canon, the standard collection of early Buddhist scriptures.


Pūtimuttabhesajjaṁ nissāya pabbajjā tattha te yāvajīvaṁ ussāho karaṇīyo "Going-Forth has fermented urine medicine as its support. For the rest of your life you are to endeavor at that."

Mv.I.77.1

https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/Mv/MvI.html

Note: "Going-Forth" here means becoming a Buddhist monk or nun.

The Buddha taught his monastic disciples to use fermented urine as their go-to medicine.

"Mendicants, these four trifles are easy to get hold of and are blameless. What four? Rag-robes … A lump of alms-food … Lodgings at the root of a tree … Fermented urine as medicine…"

Anguttara Nikaya 4.27

https://suttacentral.net/an4.27/en/sujato


****


“These four, bhikkhus, are trifling things, easily obtained and blameless. What four? A robe made of cast-off rags is a trifling thing, easily obtained and blameless. Food gathered on alms round is a trifling thing, easily obtained and blameless. The root of a tree as a dwelling place is a trifling thing, easily obtained and blameless. Medicine consisting of putrid urine is a trifling thing, easily obtained and blameless. These, bhikkhus, are the four trifling things, easily obtained and blameless. When a bhikkhu is content with these things that are trifling and easily obtained, I say of him that he has the requisites for recluseship.”

"As you live contented your fermented urine as medicine will seem to you like various medicines—ghee, butter, oil, honey, molasses, and salt—seem to a householder or householder’s child. It will be for your enjoyment, relief, and comfort, and to reach [Nirvana]."

terminalia chebula [see https://haritaki.org/haritaki-benefits/]

"Suppose there was some fermented urine mixed with different medicines. Then a man with jaundice would come along. They’d say to him: ‘Here, mister, this is fermented urine mixed with different medicines. Drink it if you like. If you drink it, the color, aroma, and flavor will be unappetizing, but after drinking it you will be happy.’ He wouldn’t reject it. After thinking, he’d drink it. The color, aroma, and flavor would be unappetizing, but after drinking it he would be happy."

Anyone who makes use of

Leftovers for food,

Putrid urine as medicine,

And rags from the rubbish-heap as robes,

Is at home in any direction.

A Urine Therapy Testimony: Liver Cancer and Piles Gone! Trans. Dr. Chapman Chen

As recorded in An Experienced Physician's (2010) book Auto-Urine Therapy, an Indian man named Chitalia suffered from liver cancer, piles and continuous fever in the 1970s. Western-style doctors confirmed that he had at the most half a month to live. Thank God, a neighbor handed him a book on urine therapy. Following the instructions in the book, he drank his own urine in large quantities and washed his piles with urine lavishly. Within months, he completely recovered, much to the astonishment of his doctors. Below please find this gentleman's testimony:   Self-introduction My name is Nanubhai Kalidas Chitalia. I am 53 years old. I live at present on the fourth floor of Kapadia Building No. 2, Near G. T. School, Malharrao Wadi, Kalbadevi, Mumbai. I believe that the story of my illness and my recovery to the extent of being able to lead a completely normal life, is of considerable interest, and may prove a source of inspiration to many who have lost all hope. It may rekindle the vital spark in the hearts of those who have lost the will to live.   The First Omen One unlucky day in February 1976, while I was shaving myself, I discovered a small lump under the lobe of my right ear-a hard movable lump that shifted up or down under pressure. No similar lump was found on the left side. I showed it to my family doctor, who did not attach much importance to my complaint. He commenced treatment, attributing the lump to 'weakness'. As there was no improvement, I approached a consultant Physician. 'Deficiency of vitamins/ he diagnosed, and prescribed injections and medicines. A month passed without any improvement.   Diagnosed with Cancer Another doctor was consulted. He listened patiently and attentively, and went through the details of the injections and medicines. He suspected cancer and advised me to go to the Tata Hospital* I saw Dr J. J. Vyas of the Tata Hospital on 19 March 1976. He works in association with Dr Paymaster. He examined me thoroughly, and administered certain tests. There was no pain when the lump was pressed. The test reports came in : I had cancer. The hospital card was issued to me on 19 March 1976, and bore the number AH-3603.   Radiotherapy Treatment for cancer was commenced. 200-watt irradiations were given on alternate days, 20 in all, over a period of about a month and a half. A check showed no appreciable improvement. Another course of ten 200-watt exposures was commenced. This time there were indications of irritation on my neck. My throat began to feel parched. The sense of taste was lost. The irradiated area was scorched.   Some skin was excised. There was some relief, though it proved to be temporary.   Bad Habits I had contracted some bad habits in my childhood. Including smoking 20-25 biris or cigarettes, chewing 4 to 5 betel leaves with tobacco and drinking 5 to 6 cups of strong tea every day, I weighed 62 kilograms. But after contracting cancer, I began to lose weight. There was no discomfort after the treatment at the Tata Hospital. Things were all right till near the end of the year 1977.   Liver Cancer Discovered In December 1977, a lump was noticed on my abdomen. I began to have fever, the temperature ranging from 101° F to 103*F. I lost appetite completely. Lassitude invaded my body. I went to the Tata Hospital again in February 1978, and saw Dr Vyas. The family doctor had been treating me during this period, but the fever did not respond to the treatment. There was another round of tests and investigations. I was told that I had cancer of the liver. There were growths on three sides of the liver. No operation or radiation therapy was possible.   Futile Western Medicines A course of medicines was initiated. Ten injections costing Rs 50 each were given, on alternate days. As there was no improvement, ten more injections, costing Rs 140 each this time, were given. Despite all this, there was no improvement! I got weaker and weaker. My weight dropped to 30-32 kg. I had no appetite. There was a nauseating bad taste in my mouth. On the top of all this, I developed piles. Lumps, fever and piles! I was getting desperate. There was persistent, nagging pain. Dr Vyas gave his final opinion, 'Take rest now. There is nothing more we can do for you/ Treatment was discontinued.   Our family doctor suggested removal of the piles by an operation. But I was in extreme distress because of the pains inflicted by a triplet of diseases. Dr Vyas called for another consultation at my home. After a detailed examination, he asked the members of my family to 'finish all important tasks expeditiously'. As we belong to the Vaishnav sect, the donation of a cow in alms was attended to immediately. Preparations for the ultimate journey were diligently taken on hand. These included pooja worship in the Haveli temple and other religious ceremonies. The proposal of operating for piles was rejected summarily. When death was imminent, what was the sense in having the operation?   Light at the End of the Tunnel These events took place in April 1978.   The spirit was impatient to escape from the body. But my will to live was not yet prepared to submit so easily. My will power was continually inducing me to entertain no other thoughts except those of survival. And one day it was as if the Messiah Himself came to our door. Our next-door neighbour Ramdasbhai stepped into my house, and very gently placed a book in my hands. It was 'Manav Mootra' (Human Urine) by Ravjibhai Patel. Like a drowning man clutching at a straw, I began to read it avidly and with rekindled hope. I went straight to the chapter on piles. I saw light at the end of the tunnel. As death was staring me in the face why shouldn't this free treatment be tried? Accordingly, I commenced auto-urine therapy for the treatment of piles.   Piles Gone! I began to wash the piles 8 to 10 times a day with fresh urine. There was some improvement in about 15 days.   One day two of the excrescences dropped away while cleaning! My surprise and joy knew no bounds! The third one also fell out after four days. The bleeding stopped, the pain simply disappeared. As I had succeeded in freeing myself from one of the three disorders, my confidence grew, and my faith in this therapy deepened. I reported this development to the doctor who had recommended an operation. He could not give credence to such an unconventional cure, so he came and examined me. He was astonished when he saw the results.   Urine-drinking Started Now I decided to commence treatment of the other two complaints, fever and the tumours of the liver, and began drinking my urine on the auspicious day of Dasserah, 1978. I began with half a glass, that is about 4 ounces, of fresh urine in the morning. Meanwhile I continued to take the medicines prescribed by the TataHospital authorities. I had been suffering from asthma, which was inherited from my parents. After eight to ten days of auto-urine therapy, I noted assuagement of the symptoms of asthma. So I increased the frequency of my intake of urine to twice a day. Again in a period of 8 to 10 days, I began to recover my appetite.   The sense of taste which had been lost completely was regained to some extent. I began to feel a little stronger and more active. I became more enthusiastic, and increased the frequency of the intake of urine from twice a day to three, four and more times a day. About 24 ounces of urine were now to be taken everyday. The fever now freed me from its clutches, thus greatly augmenting both my joy and my enthusiasm. I began to drink plenty of water. I began to pass 7 or 8 glassfuls of water in a day, and my total intake reached 48 ounces a day.   A Sudden Attack of Colic About one and a half months from the commencement of this therapy, I had a sudden severe attack of colic at night. I ran to the lavatory. I was feeling so sick that I decided not to lock the lavatory from inside, and asked my wife to stand near the door. I passed very foul smelling stool in a few moments. A highly malodorous liquid containing fibrous materials, red in colour resembling that of flesh, was forcibly expelled in great quantity, followed by black lumpy matter. The smell was so intolerable that it was not possible to continue to sit or even stand Ihere. All at once I felt extremely weak. My wife cleaned me up, and led me to my bed. I was fast asleep in five minutes. Because of my various diseases, I had never before slept so soundly. I began to feel better from the next day.   Cancerous Tumors Gone! After another 15 days, I had the severe abdominal pains once again, and foul smelling lumps were passed in the stool as before. Such lumps continued to be excreted for the following ten days or so, in smaller amounts. After that I began to feel much better. The cancerous tumours could not be detected on examination of the abdomen. My intake of food increased, and so did my weight. I had stopped taking the medicines prescribed by the doctors at the Tata Hospital. After about two or two and a half months, I had recovered completely. The doctor who had been treating me was struck with wonder.   "You are still alive?" After about six months, I went to the Tata Hospital to see Dr Vyas. He was stunned on seeing me. He could not trust his eyes. He had put my file away on the shelf six months ago, when he had found that I had only 10 or 15 days to live. He looked at me incredulously, and asked, 'You are Chitalia? You yourself! You are still alive? I laughed and said, 'Yes, sir, I am the very same Nanubhai Chitalia, alive and kicking. I am not a ghost!' He called for my file immediately, and examined me. He called his assistant too, and recounted to him all that had happened. He also apprised Dr Prafulla Desai, the Head of the Institution, of all the details. Dr Ashok Mehta, Dr S. R. Rao, all gathered there. They went through my records. They simply could not understand how those tumours had disappeared.   How about the Proof? I told them about the auto-urine therapy, with all the details. But the doctors asked, 'What is the proof that it was auto-urine therapy that has effected the cure?' Their medical science had reservations about the efficacy of this therapy. I challenged them to place four of their patients in my charge, assuring them that I would cure them while they stayed in that very hospital. They were not legally in a position to permit me to undertake such an experiment.   Thinking of the great responsibility which would rest on their heads in case anything should happen to any of the patients, they expressed their inability to take up the challenge.   Perfect Health with Urine Therapy Today at the age of 53 years, I am perfectly healthy, take normal food, and am holding a job. There is no trace of disease in my body. I do not take any medicines whatsoever now.   True, drinking of urine continues. I drink my own urine seven or eight times a day. I am greatly indebted to the gentleman who lent me the book 'Manav Mootra'.

Vyas)。他與裴斯德(Dr. Paymaster)醫生合作。他徹底檢查我,做了某些測試。腫塊撳時不痛。測試報告出來:我生癌。 一九七六年三月十九日,醫院發卡給我,編號AH-3603。   放射治療 癌症治療開始。 在大約一個半月的時間內,隔日(共二十次)照輻射二百瓦。 檢查顯示並無明顯改善。 再來十次二百瓦放射治療。條頸有發炎跡象;喉嚨開始感到烤乾。味覺失去,放射部位灼傷。   切了些皮膚。 好了一點,但原來只是暫時的。   不良嗜好 我少年時養成了一些不良習慣,包括日日食二十到廿五支煙,噍四五塊檳榔葉溝煙草,飲五六杯濃茶。原本六十二公斤重,生癌後開始減肥。 在塔塔醫院接受治療後再無不適。 直到一九七七年底前,一切似乎無礙。   發現肝癌一九七七年十二月,發覺個肚有腫塊。 開始發燒,體溫從華氏一零一度到一零三度。 完全失去食慾; 全身疲倦無力。一九七八年二月,我再去塔塔醫院見韋雅斯醫生。 期間,家庭醫生一直醫著我,但治療對發燒無效。 再來一輪測試檢查。 醫生同我講:我有肝癌;肝三邊生瘤;不可能做任何手術或放射治療。   西醫無能為力 開始化療。隔日打針,共十針,每針承惠五十盧比。 由於無改善,再打十針,每針一百四十盧比。 儘管如此,仍無改善! 我越來越虛弱,體重下降到三十至三十二公斤。 毫無食慾,口中有陣臭味,令人噁心。 另加痔瘡。 團塊、發燒、痔瘡! 我越來越絕望,痛不欲生。 韋雅斯醫生下終極定論:「好好休息,我們無能為力了。」治療停止。   家庭醫生建議開刀移除痔瘡。但三重病苦,我極端困擾。 韋雅斯醫生親自出診。 經過詳細檢查,他要我的家人「還有何要事,儘快辦辦吧。」由於我們屬印度教毗濕奴派,即刻佈施了牛乸一隻。 大家積極為我準備人生最終一程。 其中包括參拜哈維利神廟以及其他宗教儀式。開刀割痔瘡的提議我們二話不説就拒絕。死到臨頭,開刀還有何意思?   一絲曙光 以下的事都在一九七八年四月發生。   三魂欲離體, 但我的生存意志仍然頑強,除了求生別無他念。 有日彷彿救世主駕臨。鄰居藍達斯巴到訪,輕輕將本書放在我手中。 那是拉維吉·彭岱(Ravjibhai Patel)的著作Manav Mootra(人尿)。 就像溺水的人緊緊抓住稻草一樣,我開始狂讀此書,充滿希望。 我直接揭到講痔瘡的那章。 我在黑暗中看到曙光。橫死直死,為何不試下這免費療法?我於是開始以自尿療法醫痔瘡。   痔瘡脱落! 我開始每日用自己的新鮮尿洗痔瘡八至十次。 約十五日後已有改善。   有日清洗時,肛門有兩具贅生物跌落來! 我驚喜不已! 四日後,第三塊都脱落。 出血停止,疼痛直頭消失。 由於三疾好了一疾,我對這種療法的信心大增。 我向建議手術的醫生報告這一發展。 他無法信這種非常規療法,所以他來檢查我。 看到結果,他非常驚訝。   開始飲尿 我決定開始醫其他兩種病,即發燒和肝腫瘤;一九七八年十勝節吉日開始飲尿。從半杯開始,大約四安士,早晨的新鮮尿。同時,繼續食塔塔醫院開的藥。我一直有哮喘,這是遺傳病。經過八到十天的自尿療,發覺哮喘症狀緩解。我於是將飲尿次數加到每日兩次。八至十日內,食慾又開始恢復。 味覺本已完全失去,今又大致恢復了。體力開始增強。我更加興奮,每日飲尿次數由兩次加到三、四次以上。如今日日飲尿約廿四安士。開始擺脱發燒的魔爪,心中大喜。開始飲大量的水,日日七八杯,共四十八安士。   肚屙排毒 開始尿療法約個半月後,有晚突然嚴重腹絞痛。 連忙跑去廁所。感覺好病,於是決定不鎖廁所門,叫老婆企向門口。 不一會,我屙出勁臭的屎,異常惡臭的汁液,含纖維料,鮮紅如肉,大量飆出,跟住係黑色塊狀物。陣味臭不可當,根本無法繼續在那裡坐著甚至站著。 頓時成身軟煞。老婆幫我清洗後,扶我上床,不到五分鐘後就呼呼入睡。多年來久病纏身,好耐無這般好睡過。第朝,開始覺得好轉。   你重未死?! 又過了十五日,我又勁肚痛,好似之前般屙出惡臭屎塊。 接下來的十日左右,這種屎塊繼續排出,不過份量減少。 其後,感覺開始好好多。 檢查腹部無法發現癌性腫瘤。胃口增加,體重亦增加。經已停止食塔塔醫院醫生開的藥。 大約兩個或兩個半月後,完全康復。 一直在治療我的醫生目瞪口呆。 大約六個月後,我去塔塔醫院睇韋雅斯醫生。其見到我好驚訝,難以置信。六個月前,他將我的檔案放在架上,斷定我只有十到十五日命。 他望著我,問道:「你真係戚他利? 你還未死? 」我笑道:「係呀,醫生,我係戚他利,如假包換,唔係鬼!」 他即刻取我檔案,同我檢查。 又打電話俾其助手,同其講發生何事。 他又通知醫院負責人德西醫生(Dr. Prafulla Desai)。麥戴醫生 (Dr Ashok Mehta)、羅醫生(Dr S. R. Rao),全部來齊。 他們瀏覽我的病歷,根本無法明白那些腫瘤如何消失。   有何證據? 我告訴他們自尿療法的所有細節。但是班醫生問:「有何證據證明自尿療法醫好了你?」他們的醫學對這種療法是否有效存疑。我挑戰他們:將他們的四名病人由我指導,保證他們留院期間我會醫好他們。他們根據法律不能讓我做這樣的實驗。 考慮到病人萬一出任何差錯,他們要負重大責任,他們表示無法接受我的挑戰。   身體健康,繼續飲尿 我今年五十三歲,身體完全健康,飲食正常,全職工作。我體內並無疾病痕跡,無需食任何藥物。   無錯,我仍然繼續飲尿。日日飲自家尿七、八次。非常多謝那位鄰居借我人尿一書。   (Bhoomiputra,1-2- '84) -  Nanubhai Kalidas Chitalia   Article link: https://www.hongkongurinetherapy.com/%e5%b0%bf%e7%99%82%e8%a6%8b%e8%ad%89%ef%bc%9a%e8%82%9d%e7%99%8c%e7%97%94%e7%98%a1%e4%b8%8d%e8%a6%8b%e4%ba%86%ef%bc%81%e5%8d%b0%e5%ba%a6%e5%90%8d%e9%86%ab%e8%91%97%e3%80%82%e6%9b%be%e7%84%af%e6%96%87/        !   來源:An Experienced Physician (2010).

Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha drank her own URINE on television!

Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha drank her own URINE on television!

Yes, really!

On the ITV daytime show, the panellist were discussing the new trend Urine Therapy. It has been reported that by drinking your own urine it will detox your entire and cure it of any illnesses.

So Nadia decided to take it upon herself to try it out... of course, she made her producer do it first though.

Speaking about the new trend, Nadia said: "My sister's friend gargles with it [urine] whenever she gets a sore throat and she never uses antibiotics. My sister puts it on her wrinkles."

When Andrea McLean asked her co-star if she's try it out, the 53-year-old star admitted: "We do get asked to reveal a lot and talk a lot and do all sorts of things by our producers and so I said I'd do it if Ashley [their producer] does and he said he would.

"He never imagined I'd make him do it."

After their producer downed his shot of urine, Nadia went on to do it also and it's safe to say that some viewers (along with the presenters) were horrified. One person tweeted: "Loose Women has reached a new low.. drinking their own urine on daytime telly 🤢 #LooseWomen"

Another commented: "Day three of being snowed in and I have just watched The Loose Women drinking shots of urine live on television 😐 #ytho"

“It’s like bitter green tea” Emilia Fox discusses drinking her own urine on This Morning

"It's like bitter green tea" Emilia Fox discusses drinking her own urine on This Morning

WHILE some of her fellow Bear Grylls: Mission Survive contestants were left vomiting after drinking their own urine recently, Emilia Fox likened the taste to green tea today.

Emilia Fox opened up about her time on Bear Grylls' Mission Survive today on This Morning

The actress said her time in Costa Rica was amazing despite it being both physically and emotionally exhausting, during an interview on This Morning.

When asked why she took part, prior to being eliminated last week, the 40-year-old said: "It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The idea of going to the Costa Rican rainforest and learning some amazing skills, I found really attractive."

And when it came to drinking urine, the Silent Witness beauty said it was just mind over matter.

"I just didn’t think about it too much. I just did it. And actually drinking your own wee, it's like drinking bitter, green tea. Tom [Rosenthal] and I just had a laugh."

Emilia's cousin Lawrence, who also joined her on the ITV show, got trench foot as a result of the constant rain and soaking wet conditions.

When questioned about the actor, she said: "They are fine now I'm pleased to say. The night he got hyperthermia and hyperglycaemia was horrific. He was completely delirious.

"I felt so responsible to Bill and his boys. At the end of the day it is a TV show, but that is real life and it was horrible to see him like that."

The British star was also launching her Think Infrared Defence campaign today, to encourage the nation to be more aware of how the sun’s rays can damage your skin.

Emilia also launched her Think Infrared Defence campaign

Speaking about the cause, Emilia said: "I have very fair skin and I have a lot of moles. I had to have a mole removed from my shoulder a few years ago… it did turn out to be benign.

"It has made me extremely conscious of how damaging the sun can be and how important it is to invest in the best sun protection. This research shows that people in the UK don’t understand the sun’s damaging rays, so we’re telling people to Think Infrared Defence this summer and to visit ThinkIRD.com to find out how best to protect themselves and their families."

A brief history of athletes drinking their own urine

Taking the piss: a brief history of athletes drinking their own urine

An NFL player confessed this week to drinking his own urine during the pre-season, but Ben Jones is hardly the first athlete to recycle his bodily fluids

Ben Jones, an offensive lineman with the Houston Texans, made headlines this week when he confessed to drinking a cup of his own urine to win a bet against his team-mates. “We were having a good time, and whatever makes the team better,” the fourth-year center recalled. “I was just enjoying it – and anytime I can get a laugh out of it, I’ll do it.” Naturally.

Jones, who is described by team-mate Charles James as “a pretty nasty guy”, is hardly the first sportsman to find value in recycling his bodily fluids. Yet many of the Alabama native’s predecessors have consumed urine not in search of the anarchic jollity of a sophomoric sight gag, but in fact a competitive edge.

The great Mexican champion Juan Manuel Márquez famously showcased the practice ahead of his 2009 fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. “This is something I have been doing for the past six or seven fights, and it has given me good results,” Marquez, who has held world titles in four weight classes, said during an episode of HBO’s documentary series 24/7. “If you drink or inject yourself with vitamins, you release them every time you go to the bathroom. Why not put them back in your body orally?”

A ringing endorsement it was not – Marquez lost a hugely lopsided decision – but it hasn’t stopped others from giving it a shot. See the mixed martial artist Lyoto Machida, who told a Brazilian magazine that drinking urine was a longstanding family tradition: “My father does that for a long time and bring it to us. People think it’s a joke. I never said it in the United States because I don’t know how the fans will react. I drink my urine every morning like a natural medicine.”

MMA fighter Luke Cummo, who soared to fame after appearing in the second season of The Ultimate Fighter, is another proponent of pee drinking. Notorious on the show for idiosyncrasies such as insisting that his bed point north so that he could align his own energy, or chi, with that of the earth, Cummo also advocated the consumption of his own waste. He reasoned that urine “contains minerals, hormones and elements that bind moisture to protein”, and said that his practice of drinking it was all part of the body’s recycling process. He also insisted the alternative application of human urine is a more common practice than Americans think, a fact to which any regular on Craigslist’s Casual Encounters listings can attest.

Certainly, urophagia, the practice of drinking one’s own urine, also known as urine therapy, has deep roots in other cultures. In 1978, the Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai, a longtime practitioner of urine therapy, spoke to Dan Rather on 60 Minutes about the practice. Desai stated that urine therapy was the perfect medical solution for the millions of Indians who cannot afford medical treatment. According to claims by members of the China Urine Therapy Association, more than 100,000 people in mainland China are current practitioners.

Urine therapy is not limited to merely drinking urine, however. Former MLB standout Moisés Alou, a six-time All-Star and career .303 hitter, revealed that he’d urinate on his hands to toughen them up. Alou, one of the few major leaguers who didn’t wear gloves while batting, was joined by former New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who once quipped, “You don’t want to shake my hand during spring training.” Even erstwhile Cubs hurler Kerry Wood mentioned trying the technique to remedy blisters on his pitching hand, although he added that this was as a last resort. “Someone tells you something works,” Wood said, and we are given a brief glimpse into the life of a pro athlete, willing to try anything to gain that edge.

But what are the purported health benefits of urine, which is 95% water but also contains minerals, proteins, vitamins and antibodies? Yoshizo Machida, Lyoto’s father and Japan’s answer to a wrestling dad, contends that ingesting your own urine acts as a “natural medicine” that flushes out the system, aiding in digestion and preventing the build-up of harmful bacteria. Other urine-drinkers swear by its immune system boosting properties and skin-softening abilities.

Still, drinking your urine has no documented benefits. Skeptics say the 5% that isn’t water contains things the body is trying to get rid of. “Think about it like drinking ocean water,” says Jeff Giullian, a nephrologist at South Denver Nephrology Associates in Colorado. “It’s going to dehydrate you and do significantly more harm than good.”

Bear Grylls, the adventurer and host of TV show Man vs Wild, has been filmed several times drinking his own urine in order to avoid dehydration. “Can it save your life?” he asked rhetorically during a recent episode. “Yes, in some situations. Although you read about these people who do it for fun at home. I’m not like that. I’m weird, but I’m not that weird.”

Which more or less settles it. Even if the physiological benefits of Jones’s wee pint are dubious, its value as a comic set piece remains beyond dispute.

Urine Therapy is a Real Thing and So Many People Are Drinking Their Own Pee

Urine Therapy is a Real Thing and So Many People Are Drinking Their Own Pee

We’ve all heard of weird health crazes (drinking your own breast milk, getting a blood facial, eating the placenta) but nothing sounds as vile as pounding down a glass of your own urine. Considered to be alternative medicine, human urine has been used for years in parts of Asia and some claim it can cure ailments, cancer, allergies, and even infections. There are numerous Facebook pages that promote urine therapy and even an entire association (with over 100,000 members or so they say) in China focused on drinking urine.

According to The Pan African Medical Journal, drinking your own urine has been in practice since the Roman Empire then continuing onto the Medieval times. It’s been a practice of survival when fresh water wasn’t accessible. Today, it’s considered a miracle worker.

British naturopath John W. Armstrong is credited as the man to popularize urine therapy in the 20th century. He was first inspired to use human urine to treat stings and toothaches after he read this passage in the bible, “Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.” In 1918 he was prescribing urine therapy to his patients and even published the book, The Water of Life: A treatise on urine therapy which became one of the leading papers in the urine therapy world.

What exactly is urine? 

Urine is made up of around 91 to 96% water, with the remaining percentage being salts, ammonia, and bodily waste products your body is ridding itself of. According to WebMD, it’s normal to pee six to eight times a day, sometimes up to ten times if you’ve been drinking liquids all day. Clear and light colored urine indicates you are sufficiently hydrated while golden color urine is a sign of dehydration.

How To Perform Urine Therapy 

The Pharmaceutical Journal shares that the usual “prescription” of urine therapy is to drink a cup of mid-stream urine taken from the first pee of the morning. This morning urine is usually the strongest since it has been in your body since the night before. Some urine-drinkers say that symptoms of nausea, headaches, and vomiting are pretty common during the first few days.

Sarah Miles, the famous British actress known for her roles in Hope and Glory and The Servant, has publically stated that she has started her morning with a glass of urine for the past 30 years to cure her allergies. Madonna once shared that she peed on her feet in the shower to prevent athlete’s foot.

The benefits of urine therapy are all over the place from curing cancer to boosting your immune system. There is yet to be solid scientific evidence of urine drinking from credible sources but that doesn’t stop people from drinking their own pee. Currently, there are over twenty different urine therapy groups on Facebook, some with thousands of members.

The bottom line: just start your morning with a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. It’s a lot tastier than re-drinking what you had last night. No list of health benefits could persuade me to drink piss.
