Comments
Urine is 95% water
It is clean (not sterile)* at the point of production in the kidney
It becomes quickly contaminated:
- As it travels through the uretha, picking up the bacteria within
- And as soon as it is out of the body
It has been used for health purposes for generations
Many base their use of urine on the bible passage Proverbs 5 : 15
- 'Drink waters out of thine own cistern'
There is no scientific evidence that urine therapy works
Individuals perishing from dehydration may have to consider urine as a source of hydration
Army manuals advise against this practice
It is advisable to discuss symptoms and concerns with the healthcare giver
* Definitions
