Urine therapy
- Monday, November 23, 2009 -
I just got to see this video on this urine therapy and I went to do some research. In the past, doctors advise people to drink there own urine to heal themselves. Of course you won't see this therapy going on in this modern days. Here's the link to the article that I have read and decide to share with you guys:
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/psychology/health_psychology/Urine_Therapy.htmThe article says that if you drink your own urine, it will help build your immune system. Urine therapy, therefore, can be seen as a form of self-vaccination: certain bodily substances which 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.
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 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 this is how urine therapy advocates conclude that urine therapy has a cleansing effect on the blood.
Urine saves lives. Survivors from natural disasters were always the ones that drank their own urine. Those who didn't make it probably have the misconception that urine is a waste and is toxic.
Well after reading this, will you be able to overcome your own fear and drink urine? (if needed- like you're in a situation where there is no water...)
