Drinking Urine? What Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Companies Hide!

Drinking Urine?! Maybe you've already had your daily dose and it wasn't even human urine!!!

Medical researchers have discovered:

"Urine is the main component of the amniotic fluid that bathes the human fetus.
Normally the baby 'breathes' this urine-filled amniotic fluid into its lungs. If the urinary tract is blocked, the fetus does not produce the fluid, and, without it, the lungs do not develop."
(G. Kolata, "Surgery on Fetuses Reveals They Heal Without Scars", The New York Times, Medical Section, 16 August 1988)

"One of the most important functions of the kidney is to excrete material and substances for which the body has no immediate need..."
(A. H. Free, and H. M. Free, Urinalysis in Clinical and Laboratory Practice, CRC Press, Inc., USA, 1975, pp. 13-17)

“Utica, Michigan - Realizing it is flushing potential profits down the drain, an enterprising young company has come up with a way to trap medically powerful proteins from urine. Enzymes of America has designed a special filter that collects important urine proteins, and these filters have been installed in all of the men's urinals in the 10,000 portable outhouses owned by the Porta-John company, a subsidiary of Enzymes of America.
Urine is known to contain minute amounts of proteins made by the body, including medically important ones such as growth hormone and insulin. There is a $500-million-a-year market for these kinds of urine ingredients.
This summer, Enzymes of America plans to market its first major urine product called urokinase, an enzyme that dissolves blood clots and is used to treat victims of heart attacks. The company has contracts to supply the urine enzyme to Sandoz, Merrell Dow and other major pharmaceutical companies. Ironically, this enterprise evolved from Porta-John's attempt to get rid of urine proteins-a major source of odor in portable toilets.
When the president of Porta-John began consulting with scientists about a urine filtration system, one told him he was sitting on a gold mine.
The idea of recycling urine is not new, however. 'We thought about this,' says 26 Whitcome of Amgen, a Los Angeles biotechnology firm, 'but realized we'd need thousands and thousands of litres of urine.'
Porta-John and Enzymes of America solved that problem. The 14 million gallons flowing annually into Porta-John's privies contain about four-and-a-half pounds of urokinase alone. That's enough to unclog 260,000 coronary arteries."
("Now Urine Business", Hippocrates magazine, May/June 1988)

"Many studies show that urine helps prevent and cure cancer. "Bringing Cancer Cells into Line" was a report at the 1966 "Federation of American Society for Experimental Biology", which showed how Uric acid, Directin, H-11, and 3-methylglyoxal in urine negatively affects cancer."

"Antineoplastens, which are peptides and amino acid derivatives destroy tumors, as discovered by Dr. Burzynski." (Oncology News, of the Academy Professional Information Services July-Aug., 1990)

"Studies show urine helps circulation as well. Doctors announced to the American Heart Association meetings back in 1967 that urokinase dissolves clots, after having studied 200 people who had them."

According to Science Digest, in July 1958, "urine dilates arteries similarly to nitroglycerin, bringing blood to the heart, thus relieving angina."

"Doctors Alexander Glazer and Stocker, from University of California have showed that bilirubin in urine reduces damage from cancer, the effects of growing older, coronary disease, as well as anti- inflammatory ("Express" (U.S.A.) 1.3.87.) Retine and antineoplastens in urine are also helpful against cancer."

"Lars Hanson and Eng Tan proved that urine successfully provides antibodies needed for the things they studied: cholera, Salmonella typhus, diphtheria, tetanus toxoid, and polio. Who knows what else would have shown up if they had tested even more diseases. This study was done in 1965 at the Rockefeller Institute."

“An article, titled “Autouro- therapy”, published in the New York State Journal of Medicine (vol. 80, no. 7, June 1980), written by Dr John R. Herman, Clinical Professor of Urology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, points out the general misconceptions regarding urine and its medical use:
Autouropathy (urine therapy) did flourish in many parts of the world and it continues to flourish today, There is, unknown to most of us, a wide usage of uropathy and a great volume of knowledge available showing the multitudinous advantages of this modality,
Urine is only a derivative of the blood, If the blood should not be considered 'unclean', then the urine also should not be so considered. Normally excreted, urine is a fluid of tremendous variations of composition.
Actually, the listed constituents of human urine can be carefully checked and no items not found in human diet are found in it. Percentages differ, of course, but urinary constituents are valuable to human metabolism.
Look up urea in a medical dictionary. In Mosby's Medical and Nursing Dictionary, urea is defined not as a useless body waste but as a systemic diuretic and topical skin treatment. It's also prescribed to reduce excess fluid pressure on the brain and eyes.

Uric acid, another ingredient of urine, is normally thought of as an undesirable waste product of the body that causes gout. But even uric acid has recently been found to have tremendous health-promotion and medical implications."

Medical researchers at the University of California at Berkeley reported in 1982 that they have discovered that:
"Uric acid could be a defense against cancer and ageing.
It also destroys body-damaging chemicals, called free radicals, that are present in food, water and air and are considered to be a cause of cancer and breakdowns in immune function.
Uric acid could be one of the things that enables human beings to live so much longer than other mammals."
(O. Davies, "Youthful Uric Acid", Omni magazine, October 1982)

I'd like to start off by letting my readers know the reason I have chosen to write about urine therapy. It is such an unusual, many would say "radical", treatment that is completely unaccepted by most. If you've read about my rare autoimmune disease then you are aware that my treatment, that has put me into remission, is hormonal. My body will only accept bio-identical hormones. Bio-identical estriol to be exact. Due to the pharmaceutical manufacturing companies' need to produce drugs and hormones that are synthetic, altered, or chemical for patent purposes, doctors had no way of being able to treat me with this unaltered bio-identical hormone. All of the hormones they prescribe (including ones derived from urine) are altered in one way or another for money making purposes. There are 2 sources of bio-identical estriol. One source is my own urine, one that would not cause severe life threatening reactions in me. Fortunately for me, I was able to find 1 other source of this life saving hormone that, so far, has not caused any severe reactions and has currently put my condition in remission. This hub is for others that modern medicine can not help. It is for informational purposes, so that others facing this same kind of dilemma can make informed and possibly life saving choices about their health and quality of life.

There are many scientific and medical facts about the health benefits of urine that most people are completely unaware of, hence my references stated above. Drinking urine and applying urine to your skin are some ways of benefiting from it's use. Then again, there are prescription medications providing the benefits of urine. Yes, prescription medications, which I'm sure many are repulsed by the thought! The pharmaceutical manufacturing companies sure do know the facts about urine. We have been raised and have had it drilled into our minds by society that urine is dirty, toxic and bad. This is absolutely not true and there is obviously tons of scientific medical evidence to prove this!

Urine drinking called urine therapy, shivambu, or amaroli and applying urine to the skin is a very common practice in many countries outside of the US. It is personally and medically used to treat diseases, cancers, aging, hormonal imbalances, infertility, depression, anxiety, skin disorders, burns, auotoimmunity, allergies, athsma, stomach disorders, and infections. This is not the whole list of medical problems that urine is used to treat but I’m sure you get the idea. As a matter of fact, pharmaceutical manufacturing companies are so aware of the benefits of urine through scientific studies and medical evidence that they have been deriving prescription drugs from urine for years. Some of the drugs are not even from human urine. A brief list of some prescription drugs derived from urine are as follows:

Urokinase, Kinlytic Urokinase, Abbokinase- used for pulmonary embolism, cardiac infarction, blood clots, and cancer
Ureaphil- a diuretic
Ureacin- treatment for cervical problems
Premarin and Prempro- very common treatment for menopause symptoms in women (from the urine of pregnant horses)
Menopur, Menogun, Repronex, Pergonal, HMG Massone - treatment for fertility disturbances (Menotropins)

Let’s first understand where urine comes from. The liver, lungs, and skin are responsible for removing toxins from within the body. Blood first goes through the liver where toxins are removed, and fresh, clean blood then makes it’s way to the kidneys. Tiny tubules in the kidneys squeeze vitamins, salts, minerals, hormones, neurological chemicals, and antibodies from the blood that are not needed by the body at that specific time. These are excess things in the CLEAN blood that are not needed at that SPECIFIC TIME. This is why urine is referred to as waste, it is not toxic waste, just excess that the body doesn’t need at that specific moment. These things are either reabsorbed depending on what the body needs or removed in sterile clean, urine. Unless there is infection in the kidneys, bladder or urinary tract, then urine is completely sterile and contains valuable bio-identical things that the body reabsorbs or can use later by drinking urine. Because these things have already been through bodily processes, the body can use them immediately at another time without having to be processed by the body again. By drinking urine, the body can use what vitamins, minerals, antibodies, hormones, etc. that it needs at that specific time, discard what it doesn’t need and then start the cycle all over again.
Urine is sterile and urine is safe in the absence of infection. So safe that it was used during times of war to prevent and treat infections like gangrene when there was a shortage of antibiotics. Not only is healthy urine sterile and safe but it is also antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral.

Urine’s main components are uric acid, urea, ammonia, creatinine and hippuric acid. Salts like sodium chloride, traces of mineral ions like chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, sodium, oxalic acid, alcohol, enzymes, antibodies, and hormones.

All of these components are in the simplest form and immediately available for use by the body when you drink urine or apply it to your skin. Your own fresh urine is a blueprint of your own body and what it needs. Minute amounts of antibodies found in urine can trigger or calm immune responses helping to prevent allergies and stopping asthma attacks when no other treatment is available. This is just one constituent of urine and it's capabilities as a treatment.

Do you really think that pharmaceutical manufacturing companies want us to know any of this? Especially know that some very popular drugs come from the urine of horses?! Look at all the billions of dollars they would lose if everyone knew drinking urine or applying urine to skin could prevent, cure, and/or treat many common illnesses and ward off signs of aging.

Understandably, urine drinking is not for the fainthearted that live in countries where it is practically unheard of and thought to be completely repulsive. BUT, in some countries it is common practice, and cures, and heals many illnesses. The scientific medical evidence of urine's benefits and healing capabilities has been proven time and time again, enough to make popular prescription medications. Some may not agree with urine therapy, some may be disgusted, and some may think it's down right wrong but I'll bet some of those people have already had their daily dose of urine and don't even know it. There's an awful lot of women on Premarin or Prempro for menopause symptoms with the majority having no idea it came from horse urine!

"Urokinase, an enzyme present in urine, prevents the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, and is even capable of dissolving clots already formed. When such blood clots obstruct the flow of blood in the blood vessels of the heart a heart attack may be precipitated. Dr. Mezel of the Edgewater Hospital of Chicago, IL USA, injects urokinase into the bodies of victims of heart attacks thus aborting the attack and saving the life of the patient."

"Dr. Salaria, an eminent surgeon of Ahmedabad, Gugjarat, India, too makes it a practice to give an injection of the patients own urine before undertaking surgery so as to forestall any risk of overburdening or harming the heart during or after the operation."

"The Nobel Laureate Albert Sczent Georgyi has carried out a number of experiments testing the effect of methyl glyoxal, a constituent of urine, on cancer patients, and has had considerable success in several cases."

"In 1982, studies published by Dr. William Linscott (in 'Basic and Clinical Immunology') showed that when antigen receptors (or renegade white blood cells) are reintroduced into the body, the body actually developed antibodies to these antigen receptors, and the antibodies then stopped the allergic response."

"Dr. Dharmadhikari of Pune in Maharashtra state, India, has tried auto urine therapy on more than 200 patients, and has carried out scientific investigations related to this therapy. Here are the conclusions he has arrived at as a result of these researches:

The body begins to absorb more oxygen from the atmosphere after the commencement of auto-urine therapy, and the metabolic reactions are speedup. The results of a large number of experiments support this conclusion.

The commencement of auto-urine therapy is invariably followed by a slow but definite increase in the number of red blood corpuscles in and the hemoglobin content of the blood.

Dr. Dharmadhikari believes that these changes in body functions play a very important part in curing disorders. In the book 'Yoga' published by the Bihar School of Yoga, Monghyr, a knowledgeable and learned doctor has ascribed the efficacy of urine to the following reasons:

Urine supplements the essential nutrients and makes up the deficiency of any nutrient in the body.

Urine contains highly active enzymes, that have a salutary effect on all the physiological reaction taking place in the body.

Urine contains valuable salts necessary for the body. (The well-known and widely prevalent 'Biochemic' therapeutic system uses just twelve salts to cure any and every disease).

The hormones contained in urine are of great benefit to the body.

Urine possesses bactericidal properties. It therefore destroys the disease-causing bacteria in the body, especially those infesting the digestive tract.

The substances present in the urine augment and sharpen the body's natural powers of resistance to disease.

The substance called 'urea' present in urine is a diuretic and increases the efficiency of the kidneys.

Urine is a tonic that strengthens the body, and an 'elixir' the confers longevity."
