At the end of the winter of 1996 something historic occurred During that February in

India the First World Conference on Urine Therapy took place Scholars around the

world gathered together to discuss the age-old practice of urine therapy Although

urine therapy had been around for thousands of years it had fallen into obscurity over

the last century Now urine therapy was officially back in business So what exactly

was this alternative practice that dealt with ones own bodily fluid And how does it

help What are the claims of effectiveness What does the scientific and medical worldhave to say about it How does it work Does it work These were the questions that

What is urine therapy

The basic definition of urine therapy is using (your own) urine internally or externally

as a way to aid or sustain your heath Urine therapy which includes drinking injecting

massaging with- andor bathing in- urine is an ancient practice that is used today not

only in times of sickness but also in times of good health for preventive health

maintenance It has been claimed to have proven helpful in a great number of varying

illnesses ranging from a simple cold and a throat-ache to tuberculosis and asthma

from minor skin problems such as itching to major skin problems such as eczema

psoriasis and even skin cancer But you probably ask How can your own urine benefit

your health Besides isnt it toxic

Urine as a lifesaver

During the NBC Nightly News on October 16 1992 Tom Brokaw reported that In

Egypt rescue workers found a 37-year old man alive in earthquake rubble He survivedalmost 82 hours by drinking his own urine His wife daughter and mother would not

and they died (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) Weve all heard stories of

individuals who have either lived or died by being trapped in places without food or

water for days In those stories the survivors were always the ones that drank their

own urine The ones that died probably could not overcome the misguided thoughts

that urine is an unhealthy waste product of the body But its not urine is simply a

substance that the body does not need at the time and a substance that the bodysecretes And sometimes its a lifesaver

Whats in urine

Urine 95 of which is water 25 of which is urea and 25 of which is a mixture of

minerals salts hormones and enzymes is not a toxic waste product Urine is a blood

byproduct and though it contains some body waste it is non-toxic In 1975 Dr AH

The small amount of toxins that are found in urine are not abundant enough to be toxic

to the body When you drink your own urine it does not go directly to the blood

stream First it goes into the digestive system where its ingredients are sorted out

Then the useful ingredients are recycled while the toxins are rejected When the level

of toxins becomes too high the toxins stimulate the intestines into flushing themselves

out to eliminate any stagnated excrements accumulated in the colon Although we

could probably filter out the toxins before drinking the urine the toxins are needed

because they stimulate a cleansing reaction in the body Urine which remember is a

byproduct of our blood becomes more purified the more it is recycled Thus the

cleaner the blood is the cleaner the urine is and vice-versa And this is how urine

therapy advocates conclude that urine therapy has a cleansing effect on the blood

A closer look at the details

The toxins of urine are also necessary to vaccinate and protect the body from future

illnesses The main theory behind urine therapy after all isnt that it straight out cures

diseases but instead it is geared more towards building immunity to diseases much

like vaccinations The small amounts of possibly toxic substances which can be found

in urine largely seem to have a positive effect on the immune system An important

task of the immune system is to rid the human body of diseased or unusable

substances that have developed during the course of an illness and when these

substances reach healthy tissue the blood becomes stronger the activity of

leukocytes (white blood cells) increases and the patient probably recovers This

phenomenon is known as auto-inoculation or self-vaccination and can be seen as

mother natures method of healing an illness without external intervention Urine

therapy therefore can be seen as a form of self-vaccination certain bodily substanceswhich have been removed from the body some of which may have been produced as a

result of illness are re-introduced into the body in small amounts These substances

are re-absorbed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin and the

immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately

How to use urine therapy

Basic rules

1 Midstream urine should be used the exception being in a fast

where urine is being passed every ten to fifteen minutes The

first flow should always be midstream

2 Urine should be sipped like tea and not drunk like water This will

prevent excessive problems in the form of loose stools and other

eliminative processes

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

6 Urine passed during the night before three am should not be

used

7 The quantity used is left up to the individual

Initial adjustment phase

1 Prepare the mind by making a resolve to at lease attempt the

process and examine your reactions thoughts and feelings

2 When you feel mentally prepared to attempt the actual practice

collect some fresh urine and start by rubbing your hands with it

Feel its texture smell it and see whether it can actually clean

your skin as well as some people claim After about five minutes

wash it off with cold water and feel the skin to see whether the

urine has had an effect Do not use soap after rubbing

3 The next phase of adjusting the body and mind is to

put one drop onto the tongue Taste and smell play an important

part in assessing its nature

4 Eventually you should build up the quantity you take in until you

can drink a full glass of midstream urine and feel neutral in body

and mind Then you will be ready to start more advanced curriculums

What are the claims by urine therapy advocates

So what does all of this information mean According to urine therapy supporters it

means that urine is not only non-toxic but it is also anti-bacterial anti-fungal and

anti-viral Supposedly a renowned heart specialist of Bombay India once issued an

appeal through a newspaper to members of the city inviting them to write to him about

their experience of urine therapy and especially about any cases of detrimental effects

The mans purpose was to demonstrate that drinking urine is harmful to ones body

and ineffective medically Shortly after the man received hundreds of letters in

response to his appeal however not a single letter of those hundreds reported

negative effects

Urine therapy advocates claim that to this day despite the countless number of

experiments performed using urine therapy not a single case has been recorded

finding unfavorable effects In fact they say that urine therapy might be a remedy for

polio rabies and tuberculosis AIDS growths and cancers fatigue anemia all sorts of

urinary diseases for weight-loss colds and flu candida diabetes heart disease

digestive problems prostate trouble arthritis glaucoma rheumatism cataract

venereal disease leukemia malaria diphtheria chickenpox scarlet fever rheumatic

fever bronchial asthma orchitis brights disease jaundice scurvy dropsy burnsrashes warts bed-wetting menstruation trouble kidney disease mucus colitis

pyorrhea gangrene etc (httpwwwgeocitiescomHotSprings1158URINEHTM) In

fact the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175

known diseases an extraordinary amount for any type of medical practice

Examples of scientific hypotheses involving urine therapy

Urine enzymes and heart diseases

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea

10 Oktober 2015 1298309819Urine therapy

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

6 Urine passed during the night before three am should not be

used

7 The quantity used is left up to the individual

Initial adjustment phase

1 Prepare the mind by making a resolve to at lease attempt the

process and examine your reactions thoughts and feelings

2 When you feel mentally prepared to attempt the actual practice

collect some fresh urine and start by rubbing your hands with it

Feel its texture smell it and see whether it can actually clean

your skin as well as some people claim After about five minutes

wash it off with cold water and feel the skin to see whether the

urine has had an effect Do not use soap after rubbing

3 The next phase of adjusting the body and mind is to

put one drop onto the tongue Taste and smell play an important

part in assessing its nature

4 Eventually you should build up the quantity you take in until you

can drink a full glass of midstream urine and feel neutral in body

and mind Then you will be ready to start more advanced curriculums

What are the claims by urine therapy advocates

So what does all of this information mean According to urine therapy supporters it

means that urine is not only non-toxic but it is also anti-bacterial anti-fungal and

anti-viral Supposedly a renowned heart specialist of Bombay India once issued an

appeal through a newspaper to members of the city inviting them to write to him about

their experience of urine therapy and especially about any cases of detrimental effects

The mans purpose was to demonstrate that drinking urine is harmful to ones body

and ineffective medically Shortly after the man received hundreds of letters in

response to his appeal however not a single letter of those hundreds reported

negative effects

Urine therapy advocates claim that to this day despite the countless number of

experiments performed using urine therapy not a single case has been recorded

finding unfavorable effects In fact they say that urine therapy might be a remedy for

polio rabies and tuberculosis AIDS growths and cancers fatigue anemia all sorts of

urinary diseases for weight-loss colds and flu candida diabetes heart disease

digestive problems prostate trouble arthritis glaucoma rheumatism cataract

venereal disease leukemia malaria diphtheria chickenpox scarlet fever rheumatic

fever bronchial asthma orchitis brights disease jaundice scurvy dropsy burnsrashes warts bed-wetting menstruation trouble kidney disease mucus colitis

pyorrhea gangrene etc (httpwwwgeocitiescomHotSprings1158URINEHTM) In

fact the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175

known diseases an extraordinary amount for any type of medical practice

Examples of scientific hypotheses involving urine therapy

Urine enzymes and heart diseases

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea

10 Oktober 2015 1298309819Urine therapy

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

and they died (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) Weve all heard stories of

individuals who have either lived or died by being trapped in places without food or

that urine is an unhealthy waste product of the body But its not urine is simply a

The small amount of toxins that are found in urine are not abundant enough to be toxic

to the body When you drink your own urine it does not go directly to the blood

stream First it goes into the digestive system where its ingredients are sorted out

Then the useful ingredients are recycled while the toxins are rejected When the level

of toxins becomes too high the toxins stimulate the intestines into flushing themselves

out to eliminate any stagnated excrements accumulated in the colon Although we

could probably filter out the toxins before drinking the urine the toxins are needed

because they stimulate a cleansing reaction in the body Urine which remember is a

byproduct of our blood becomes more purified the more it is recycled Thus the

cleaner the blood is the cleaner the urine is and vice-versa And this is how urine

therapy advocates conclude that urine therapy has a cleansing effect on the blood

A closer look at the details

The toxins of urine are also necessary to vaccinate and protect the body from future

illnesses The main theory behind urine therapy after all isnt that it straight out cures

diseases but instead it is geared more towards building immunity to diseases much

like vaccinations The small amounts of possibly toxic substances which can be found

in urine largely seem to have a positive effect on the immune system An important

task of the immune system is to rid the human body of diseased or unusable

substances that have developed during the course of an illness and when these

substances reach healthy tissue the blood becomes stronger the activity of

leukocytes (white blood cells) increases and the patient probably recovers This

phenomenon is known as auto-inoculation or self-vaccination and can be seen as

mother natures method of healing an illness without external intervention Urine

therapy therefore can be seen as a form of self-vaccination certain bodily substanceswhich have been removed from the body some of which may have been produced as a

result of illness are re-introduced into the body in small amounts These substances

are re-absorbed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin and the

immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately

How to use urine therapy

Basic rules

1 Midstream urine should be used the exception being in a fast

where urine is being passed every ten to fifteen minutes The

first flow should always be midstream

2 Urine should be sipped like tea and not drunk like water This will

prevent excessive problems in the form of loose stools and other

eliminative processes

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

The small amount of toxins that are found in urine are not abundant enough to be toxic

to the body When you drink your own urine it does not go directly to the blood

stream First it goes into the digestive system where its ingredients are sorted out

Then the useful ingredients are recycled while the toxins are rejected When the level

of toxins becomes too high the toxins stimulate the intestines into flushing themselves

out to eliminate any stagnated excrements accumulated in the colon Although we

could probably filter out the toxins before drinking the urine the toxins are needed

because they stimulate a cleansing reaction in the body Urine which remember is a

byproduct of our blood becomes more purified the more it is recycled Thus the

cleaner the blood is the cleaner the urine is and vice-versa And this is how urine

therapy advocates conclude that urine therapy has a cleansing effect on the blood

A closer look at the details

The toxins of urine are also necessary to vaccinate and protect the body from future

illnesses The main theory behind urine therapy after all isnt that it straight out cures

diseases but instead it is geared more towards building immunity to diseases much

like vaccinations The small amounts of possibly toxic substances which can be found

in urine largely seem to have a positive effect on the immune system An important

task of the immune system is to rid the human body of diseased or unusable

substances that have developed during the course of an illness and when these

substances reach healthy tissue the blood becomes stronger the activity of

leukocytes (white blood cells) increases and the patient probably recovers This

phenomenon is known as auto-inoculation or self-vaccination and can be seen as

mother natures method of healing an illness without external intervention Urine

therapy therefore can be seen as a form of self-vaccination certain bodily substanceswhich have been removed from the body some of which may have been produced as a

result of illness are re-introduced into the body in small amounts These substances

are re-absorbed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin and the

immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately

How to use urine therapy

Basic rules

1 Midstream urine should be used the exception being in a fast

where urine is being passed every ten to fifteen minutes The

first flow should always be midstream

2 Urine should be sipped like tea and not drunk like water This will

prevent excessive problems in the form of loose stools and other

eliminative processes

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

6 Urine passed during the night before three am should not be

used

7 The quantity used is left up to the individual

Initial adjustment phase

1 Prepare the mind by making a resolve to at lease attempt the

process and examine your reactions thoughts and feelings

2 When you feel mentally prepared to attempt the actual practice

collect some fresh urine and start by rubbing your hands with it

Feel its texture smell it and see whether it can actually clean

your skin as well as some people claim After about five minutes

wash it off with cold water and feel the skin to see whether the

urine has had an effect Do not use soap after rubbing

3 The next phase of adjusting the body and mind is to

put one drop onto the tongue Taste and smell play an important

part in assessing its nature

4 Eventually you should build up the quantity you take in until you

can drink a full glass of midstream urine and feel neutral in body

and mind Then you will be ready to start more advanced curriculums

What are the claims by urine therapy advocates

So what does all of this information mean According to urine therapy supporters it

means that urine is not only non-toxic but it is also anti-bacterial anti-fungal and

anti-viral Supposedly a renowned heart specialist of Bombay India once issued an

appeal through a newspaper to members of the city inviting them to write to him about

their experience of urine therapy and especially about any cases of detrimental effects

The mans purpose was to demonstrate that drinking urine is harmful to ones body

and ineffective medically Shortly after the man received hundreds of letters in

response to his appeal however not a single letter of those hundreds reported

negative effects

Urine therapy advocates claim that to this day despite the countless number of

experiments performed using urine therapy not a single case has been recorded

finding unfavorable effects In fact they say that urine therapy might be a remedy for

polio rabies and tuberculosis AIDS growths and cancers fatigue anemia all sorts of

urinary diseases for weight-loss colds and flu candida diabetes heart disease

digestive problems prostate trouble arthritis glaucoma rheumatism cataract

venereal disease leukemia malaria diphtheria chickenpox scarlet fever rheumatic

fever bronchial asthma orchitis brights disease jaundice scurvy dropsy burnsrashes warts bed-wetting menstruation trouble kidney disease mucus colitis

pyorrhea gangrene etc (httpwwwgeocitiescomHotSprings1158URINEHTM) In

fact the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175

known diseases an extraordinary amount for any type of medical practice

Examples of scientific hypotheses involving urine therapy

Urine enzymes and heart diseases

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

because they stimulate a cleansing reaction in the body Urine which remember is a

byproduct of our blood becomes more purified the more it is recycled Thus the

cleaner the blood is the cleaner the urine is and vice-versa And this is how urine

therapy advocates conclude that urine therapy has a cleansing effect on the blood

A closer look at the details

The toxins of urine are also necessary to vaccinate and protect the body from future

illnesses The main theory behind urine therapy after all isnt that it straight out cures

diseases but instead it is geared more towards building immunity to diseases much

like vaccinations The small amounts of possibly toxic substances which can be found

in urine largely seem to have a positive effect on the immune system An important

task of the immune system is to rid the human body of diseased or unusable

substances that have developed during the course of an illness and when these

substances reach healthy tissue the blood becomes stronger the activity of

leukocytes (white blood cells) increases and the patient probably recovers This

phenomenon is known as auto-inoculation or self-vaccination and can be seen as

mother natures method of healing an illness without external intervention Urine

therapy therefore can be seen as a form of self-vaccination certain bodily substanceswhich have been removed from the body some of which may have been produced as a

result of illness are re-introduced into the body in small amounts These substances

are re-absorbed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin and the

immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately

How to use urine therapy

Basic rules

1 Midstream urine should be used the exception being in a fast

where urine is being passed every ten to fifteen minutes The

first flow should always be midstream

2 Urine should be sipped like tea and not drunk like water This will

prevent excessive problems in the form of loose stools and other

eliminative processes

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

6 Urine passed during the night before three am should not be

used

7 The quantity used is left up to the individual

Initial adjustment phase

1 Prepare the mind by making a resolve to at lease attempt the

process and examine your reactions thoughts and feelings

2 When you feel mentally prepared to attempt the actual practice

collect some fresh urine and start by rubbing your hands with it

Feel its texture smell it and see whether it can actually clean

your skin as well as some people claim After about five minutes

wash it off with cold water and feel the skin to see whether the

urine has had an effect Do not use soap after rubbing

3 The next phase of adjusting the body and mind is to

put one drop onto the tongue Taste and smell play an important

part in assessing its nature

4 Eventually you should build up the quantity you take in until you

can drink a full glass of midstream urine and feel neutral in body

and mind Then you will be ready to start more advanced curriculums

What are the claims by urine therapy advocates

So what does all of this information mean According to urine therapy supporters it

means that urine is not only non-toxic but it is also anti-bacterial anti-fungal and

anti-viral Supposedly a renowned heart specialist of Bombay India once issued an

appeal through a newspaper to members of the city inviting them to write to him about

their experience of urine therapy and especially about any cases of detrimental effects

The mans purpose was to demonstrate that drinking urine is harmful to ones body

and ineffective medically Shortly after the man received hundreds of letters in

response to his appeal however not a single letter of those hundreds reported

negative effects

Urine therapy advocates claim that to this day despite the countless number of

experiments performed using urine therapy not a single case has been recorded

finding unfavorable effects In fact they say that urine therapy might be a remedy for

polio rabies and tuberculosis AIDS growths and cancers fatigue anemia all sorts of

urinary diseases for weight-loss colds and flu candida diabetes heart disease

digestive problems prostate trouble arthritis glaucoma rheumatism cataract

venereal disease leukemia malaria diphtheria chickenpox scarlet fever rheumatic

fever bronchial asthma orchitis brights disease jaundice scurvy dropsy burnsrashes warts bed-wetting menstruation trouble kidney disease mucus colitis

pyorrhea gangrene etc (httpwwwgeocitiescomHotSprings1158URINEHTM) In

fact the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175

known diseases an extraordinary amount for any type of medical practice

Examples of scientific hypotheses involving urine therapy

Urine enzymes and heart diseases

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea

10 Oktober 2015 1298309819Urine therapy

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

The small amount of toxins that are found in urine are not abundant enough to be toxic

to the body When you drink your own urine it does not go directly to the blood

stream First it goes into the digestive system where its ingredients are sorted out

Then the useful ingredients are recycled while the toxins are rejected When the level

of toxins becomes too high the toxins stimulate the intestines into flushing themselves

out to eliminate any stagnated excrements accumulated in the colon Although we

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

substances that have developed during the course of an illness and when these

substances reach healthy tissue the blood becomes stronger the activity of

leukocytes (white blood cells) increases and the patient probably recovers This

phenomenon is known as auto-inoculation or self-vaccination and can be seen as

mother natures method of healing an illness without external intervention Urine

therapy therefore can be seen as a form of self-vaccination certain bodily substanceswhich have been removed from the body some of which may have been produced as a

result of illness are re-introduced into the body in small amounts These substances

are re-absorbed into the blood through either the intestines or the skin and the

immune system is then given the chance to react appropriately

How to use urine therapy

Basic rules

1 Midstream urine should be used the exception being in a fast

where urine is being passed every ten to fifteen minutes The

first flow should always be midstream

2 Urine should be sipped like tea and not drunk like water This will

prevent excessive problems in the form of loose stools and other

eliminative processes

3 The first flow of the day is the most important and the best time

of the day to drink it is between three and four am

4 Drink at least one liter of water per day

5 Pungent and salty food as well as excessive protein should be

avoided

6 Urine passed during the night before three am should not be

used

7 The quantity used is left up to the individual

Initial adjustment phase

1 Prepare the mind by making a resolve to at lease attempt the

process and examine your reactions thoughts and feelings

2 When you feel mentally prepared to attempt the actual practice

collect some fresh urine and start by rubbing your hands with it

Feel its texture smell it and see whether it can actually clean

your skin as well as some people claim After about five minutes

wash it off with cold water and feel the skin to see whether the

urine has had an effect Do not use soap after rubbing

3 The next phase of adjusting the body and mind is to

put one drop onto the tongue Taste and smell play an important

part in assessing its nature

4 Eventually you should build up the quantity you take in until you

can drink a full glass of midstream urine and feel neutral in body

and mind Then you will be ready to start more advanced curriculums

What are the claims by urine therapy advocates

So what does all of this information mean According to urine therapy supporters it

means that urine is not only non-toxic but it is also anti-bacterial anti-fungal and

anti-viral Supposedly a renowned heart specialist of Bombay India once issued an

appeal through a newspaper to members of the city inviting them to write to him about

their experience of urine therapy and especially about any cases of detrimental effects

The mans purpose was to demonstrate that drinking urine is harmful to ones body

and ineffective medically Shortly after the man received hundreds of letters in

response to his appeal however not a single letter of those hundreds reported

negative effects

Urine therapy advocates claim that to this day despite the countless number of

experiments performed using urine therapy not a single case has been recorded

finding unfavorable effects In fact they say that urine therapy might be a remedy for

polio rabies and tuberculosis AIDS growths and cancers fatigue anemia all sorts of

urinary diseases for weight-loss colds and flu candida diabetes heart disease

digestive problems prostate trouble arthritis glaucoma rheumatism cataract

venereal disease leukemia malaria diphtheria chickenpox scarlet fever rheumatic

fever bronchial asthma orchitis brights disease jaundice scurvy dropsy burnsrashes warts bed-wetting menstruation trouble kidney disease mucus colitis

pyorrhea gangrene etc (httpwwwgeocitiescomHotSprings1158URINEHTM) In

fact the list of diseases for which urine therapy is said to be effective is around 175

known diseases an extraordinary amount for any type of medical practice

treatment in treating liver cancer He gave 2-25 grams of pure synthetic urea to 18

patients with liver cancer four to six times daily in capsules syrup or as powder Out

of those patients eight had primary carcinoma and ten had tumors with liver

metastases In the primary-cancer group two patients were alive after 57 and 36

months In four patients death seemed to be related to an interruption of urea

treatment where they reportedly stopped their treatment after feeling better And twopatients died of apparently detached illnesses The average survival period with the

urea treatment was 265 months five times greater than any previous reports without

or without the urea treatment

In the metastatic group the efficiency of urea treatment could not be judged by

survival since the tumor tissue outside of the liver was more than likely not affected

While being on the urea treatment all of the patients had a reduction of their liver

enlargement Six patients were still alive at the end of the study Two patients who hadliver metastases from breast and colon were healthy at 19 and 13 months

respectively One patient was in good condition after 17 months and the other patient

who had a general disseminated disease and a moderate liver enlargement was in fair

condition at 40 months After his study Danopoulos concluded that the results

justified formal trial of urea in primary liver cancer and also in metastatic cancer since

the results indicated a regression of liver cancer with oral urea treatment (Danopoulos

ED et al 1974) Professor Danopoulos also began combining urea with creatine

hydrate another component of urine and in this way reportedly treated other kinds of

cancers successfully

So what can we conclude

Although few people realize it pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of

dollars from sales of drugs made from urine constituents Today research is happening

nonstop in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine I order to make new

drugs and new discoveries Pergonal for instance is a fertility drug that grossed $855

million in sales in 1992 (httpwwwbiomedxcomurine) Elements like Urokinase and

urea which have become gods to the medical and cosmetic world respectively have

started to make the marketing and medical population view mans bodily fluids a little

differently Obviously urine has some valuable components but does that make urine

therapy a valuable alternative medicine

Not necessarily One must be critical of the various intriguing claims made by urine

therapy advocates on the world wide web Why Because very little intense authenticmedical information and research exist Sure there are many people who have come

forward with miraculous stories of having been healed using urine medically and in

survival situations There is the 1990 story of the four Sri Lankan commandos who had

drifted in a boat for over a 1000 miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed at

sea and had survived by catching turtles and drinking urine There is the story of the

male cook in the Philippines who survived 14 days under the ruins of a collapsed hotel

by drinking his own urine (httpwwwall-naturalcomurinehtml) There is the story of

the 92-year-old grandmother who is cured of gangrene and the young man who iscured of tuberculosis but thats all the advocates have to offer for evidence of the

efficacy of urine therapy stories Unless this information is being held back to the

public for some reason there is no hardcore scientific and medical evidence Of

course the efficiency of urine therapy is difficult to study because most people would

probably not want to participate in such a study which leaves the world to continue to

wonder Just how plausible are those claims

One thing that we must learn is that urine is not in fact useless and an offensivewaste product We should lose our foul prejudices about urine but to go as far as

swearing that urine is the Savior of all medicine is as deranged as saying those

(in)famous two words Got urine

One of the useful components that urine contains are enzymes Urine contains many

enzymes one of which is called Urokinase While doing research on this enzyme

scientist found that Urokinase causes vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerine in its

ability to strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle

Today Urokinase is used in drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for

unblocking coronary arteries The existence of enzymes such as Urokinase in urine

might explain why urine therapy is said to be effective against arteriosclerosis heart

attack pulmonary embolism etc

Urine urea and liver cancer

Another important ingredient that urine contains is urea Scientists estimate that 25of the urea in an adult finds its way into the intestines where it is decomposed into

ammonia by intestinal bacteria Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver where part

of it is converted into urea and another part is converted into glutamine an extremely

useful amino acid Because of its healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal

canal glutamine is essential in the maintenance and construction of specialized tissue

such as in the brain the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous

membrane of the intestinal canal The most important function of glutamine though is

its ability to strengthen the immune system and could be an important key inexplaining why urine therapy is such a successful method of treatment Another

noteworthy application of urea can be found in the treatment of cancer by Professor

Evangelos Danopoulos who used urea in treating breast cancer liver cancer and

several other kinds of cancer Danopoulos noticed that the urea seemed to disrupt the

ability of cancer cells to group together and apparently killed the cells by upsetting

some of their normal metabolic activities He experimented with injecting urea mixed

with a saline solution in and around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer

He conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight liver

cancer and reported positive results In 1969 Danopoulos did a study on oral urea
