Cup of urine a day keeps ailments at bay Thu Sep 2,11:11 AM ET
BANGKOK (AFP) - Drinking urine can eliminate sinus trouble, turn grey hair black and even cure cancer, a Thai academic said, citing a study of local Buddhists who engage in the unorthodox practice.
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 aging 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 manuscripts 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 practiced in accordance to scriptures which are more than 2,500 years old," she said.
I..I..I'm uh..disgusted. There it goes away the phrase that says "They would drink even their own piss!", ok, it isn't actually a known phrase, really I just made it up, but STILL, we will not be able to use it not even once. I could have used it in many circumstances, example: If someone is a compulsive lier and wants to keep his story, you could have said, "he would just drink his own piss" to prove it. But now, no. We can't. Cause someone just had to drink it and kill my phrase.
The article says 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them..the other 13% committed suicide right after they discovered some cups had been mistakenly wrong labeled. Why Good God, why?
8/13/05 - It's probably not a great idea not to go to your medical appoitment when you get the best job they could have probably offered you, just because you want to mantein that perfect record of never taking a blood test.
