Editor,
For at least 9,000 years in Mexico, 5,000 years in India and for centuries in other places, millions have drunk their urine for health. Writers from England, France, Germany, India, Israel, the Philippines, the Netherlands and the U.S. have praised the practice.
We all began drinking our urine when we were in out mother's womb. The womb's amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is largely the baby's urine.
Our urine is filtered blood. As the blood circulates, the liver first removes the poison to be cast off the intestines and then the clean blood goes to the kidneys. The kidneys balance the blood's good elements and remove any surplus not needed at the moment.
The leaves fallen from a tree are not waste, not poison to the tree. Trees grow best when they feed on fallen leaves. Urine is not waste, not poison to our body. Our urine is our golden fountain of life - our unique, perfectly living, medicine containing hundreds of vitamins, hormones, minerals and enzymes.
Drinking our urine purifies our blood, kills bad germs, provides nutrients and signals our body how to heal and balance our whole system precisely. It is the best medicine for kidney problems.

Urine therapy is the simplest, safest and most effective natural healer, and it is free. Drinking urine and massaging the body with urine have helped or healed multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, male impotency, herpes, hyperactivity, tuberculosis, heart problems, depressions, schizophrenia - almost all physical and emotional illnesses. It is a powerful natural tranquilizer.
The American Indians of the Northwest territories used urine for daily skin care, washing themselves all over with their urine each morning.
Our first morning urine is richest in hormones. Urine is great for open wounds as it is usually more sterile than distilled water.
For best results in urine therapy, consume no booze, meat, dairy, cooked food, junk food, coffee, cigarettes, table salt or drugs of any kind. All people who take pharmacy or illegal drugs should start off with first a few drops of urine by mouth or use urine for massage and compresses in order to avoid problems from drug residue in urine.
The more urine we drink, the more intensely our body detoxifies and the faster healing becomes. In severe cases, fasting on total urine passed and purified water can work best. The healthier we are and the healthier we eat, the better our urine tastes.
I strongly recommend Golden Fountain: The Complete Guide to Urine Therapy by Coen van der Kroon, The Water of Life by John W. Armstrong and Your Own Perfect Medicine by Martha Christy.
I only eat raw plant foods. I have drunk my urine - one to five cups every day - since Nov. 10, 1999. I wash my body and hair with urine. At 61, I am in better health than I was at 21.
