Ratree Cheepudomwit, of the Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Development Department, said hundreds of urine drinkers attested that consuming a daily cup worked wonders for their overall health and helped slow the ageing process. She said that in June she queried 250 members of Santi Asoke, a strict indigenous Buddhist movement believed to have thousands of followers, and 204 respondents said they had learned from ancient Buddhist manucripts that drinking one's urine improved health. "Of the respondents, 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them, including for example reduction of dandruff, grey hair, sinus problems and cancer," Ratree told AFP. The medical elixir was not easy on everyone's system, as about one in 10 urine drinkers suffered diarrhea afterwards, but the practice should not be viewed with disgust, she said. "Other groups of people who drank urine were Buddhist monks who practised in accordance to scriptures which are more than 2,500 years old," she said.
No, but I think I'll treat myself to one of those new Cokes that have half the sugar. (or something like that) They're pretty good... better than diet Coke. I'll pass on the urine, thank you.
a bunch of excess nitrogen that your body didn't want in the first place... oh well. Better drinking your own urine than someone else's, I guess. I would imagine it would taste horrible, though. (just guessing) There are drinks like the aforementioned Mountain Dew - and beer - that look about the same going in as they do coming out. The quantities are about the same too.
I rather die from cancer........... This remind me of that episode of South Park where Cartman got everyone to crap out of their mouths.
This is great news, as I have been unsuccessfully trying to market my urine for years!!! This is just the pub I was looking for. I'm calling it B-ball's Snake Oil and our slogan will be "Straight from the Tap"
