Urine Therapy (ew)

[Going less Crazy]

I was wondering what you guys think of this... that is drinking your own urine in the hope to cure your own bodies problems, more particular to us would be allergies.  Yes it sounds disgusting but I am willing to do it in the hopes of finding a "cure".  Just search the internet for information about it.

I've read that if you ingest your own urine with antibodies to a certain hormone, or sperm or whatever POIS is (if it is an allergy) that is in your own urine, than your body will process it and essentially your body will notice the "problem" and correct itself or it will develop antibodies to these antibodies and essentially you will be cured... But you know all of this hocus pocus internet stuff.  But its (urine therapy) been around for thousands of years as well.  I know this is probably the most disgusting treatment but literally I'd drink a pool full of urine if I could be cured of this problem (I'm sure all of us will haha).

So was wondering about your thoughts.

I really don't believe any of the claims about this kind of therapy. You can give it a try if you want since it's not necessarily bad for you. I'll skip this remedy for now. Plus, I'm not that flexible! Wait...maybe I am...nevermind.

Seriously though, I personally don't believe this therapy to be useful for any illness, but that's just me. It's good that you asked about it. In my opinion, there are no bad or weird questions. We're all learning together, and we are all in this POIS mess until there is a cure, soon hopefully, but we'll see.

Well guys, as bad as this may seem, I actually started doing this 2 weeks ago, about 1/8 cup every morning, but now I'm reverting to just doing it at night.  The first cup tastes pretty bad but than you get kind of used to and it doesn't taste that bad any more.  I can't really say anything about it yet, but I feel pretty good, hopefully my immune system "adjusts" to this "POIS", but again I don't even know if this is complete bullcrap haha which it might be but I'm willing to do anything.  This symbolizes how bad POIS can be, POIS is so bad that I'd drink my own piss for it to go away... haha.

It's okay GLC. Like you said, it just shows how bad POIS can be and how desperate you (and all of us) are to get rid of it. What about cranberry? Are you still drinking the juice, and if so, does it still help you a lot like it did before? Give some fruit juices a try, or try smoothies. The last few days have been very bad for my cognitive ability since I went at it like a dozen times within just a few minutes on Friday. I've noticed smoothies and fresh juices help a little. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Lol at the cranberry juice, it did help I believe, but that was so long ago. One theory of why that works is because cranberries or cranberry juice contains quercetins which help suppress histamine and histamine production. I am still trying UT but so far nothing has really changed that I know of. I will still try it (willingly) and update.

If I have POIS and wake up in the morning and do this I have a lot of relief of symptoms.  I wake up and drink about a cup or so of urine in pois.  Yes it's nasty but really all it is is hormones and the like.  I'm going to start doing a cup a day.

Morning urine helps and I take half cup.  I know I have relief every time I try this.  Last time I woke up and did this I finally felt a sense of calm and could fall asleep after a bad night of POIS, easing pois symptoms greatly.

I would love to see if somebody tried this besides me.  If I have POIS and wake up in the morning and do this I have a lot of relief of symptoms.  I wake up and drink about a cup or so of urine in pois.  Yes it's nasty but really all it is is hormones and the like.  I'm going to start doing a cup a day.

Make sure it is morning urine if you do give it a go and at least one cup.  I know I have relief every time I try this.  Last time I woke up and did this I finally felt a sense of calm and could fall asleep after a bad night of POIS, easing pois symptoms greatly.  Again make sure it is morning urine first stream.  I'd just like to see if it works for anybody else.

That's interesting. Right now I don't have the courage to try it. I 100% believe you when you say it helps you. GLC discovered the pois forums a few years before I did, even though I myself was constantly looking for more info about my symptoms to no avail, so again, I definitely believe him when he says this helps him out. Maybe someone else will give it a try and let you know. Like you said, it's not bad (I see it on outdoor survival stuff all the time too), but I am not as courageous as you to try it right now. Thanks for letting us know what helps you. - Prancer

Thanks Prancer.  Yes it shouldn't be harmful.  I'm going to start trying this one cup a day but be more committed this time. I will update.  I can only hope it'll help someone else.  Hopefully my commitment this time will provide a more accurate picture.

From Columbia University's "Ask Alice program":

"People who have an autoimmune disorder (including HIV/AIDS), kidney problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other major medical problems need to shy away from drinking or swallowing urine because of the possibilities for infection."

I don't think 1 cup every morning will be that harmful.  I may even just do half of a cup.  Plus I think my immune system is way overactive so I might have a small chance if any of infection.  Urine is supposed to be sterile and antibacterial?  From what I've read... But still willing to try anything for a cure or relief.

[demografx]

You might have a small chance of infection. That doesn't mean other readers of your posts are that fortunate. Please refrain from universally recommending.

Many thanks.

Sorry if it came off that way.  I tend to get excited.  On second thought I will reduce to half cup.  A full one seems rather large.

Thanks, GLC.

Interesting to note, I have been doing this and last morning after I did it I developed a mouth ulcer.  It seemed to come on right after I "performed" the therapy.  So this either tells me that there is some component in my urine ,either a hormone or whatever, causing this reaction.  So instead of half a cup a day I will be reversing this into a type of SLIT treatment using my own urine.  Starting off with 1-5 drops than gradually increasing.
  Sounds exciting right guys , no its messed up.  Only in a POIS world would I ever consider doing this.

On another less exciting note.  It is possible that the mouth ulcer was caused by the small amount of rice chex I have been eating in the morning although this ulcer came right after "drinking".  I do that first thing than I eat breakfast.  So I'd think the chex from the previous day would be out of my system... But still probable.

As far as it helping me with my own symptoms, it's fair to say I'm a little pissimistic. *winky wink*

Uh oh, urine trouble now.
