has anyone tried it and did it work?
Answer:i've heard a lot about it, but i dont believe it works like they say it should.
my reasoning is this: when you take liquids or food in, your body filters out what it cant use. if you have stuff that would be toxic to your body, or a chemical that you may already have too much of, your body will naturally filter that out and get rid of it. and theres only 2 ways for that stuff to exit your body. drinking your urine will re-introduce to your body what it has already filtered out.
you would be so much better off just drinking a lot of water.
Do you have a bunch of friends that believe in crystals or somehting? No this is wrong. Hippies are ok but only the weed portion of their habit should be emulated.
I tried it once, didnot like it! It taste like piss!!!!
I know many people who have tried it and it worked for them. I personally cant get past the thought of drinking pee. It just grosses me out.
Some cultures embrace this type of therapy. Although urine is simply excess and not waste material it is possible to consume. However, there is so little research (and I am not one to be opposed to alternative therapies) that I would generally frown upon it.
