Medical
Research into Urine Therapy
The following are the average quantities of the various
substances in 100 millilitres of urine as reported in 'Introduction
to Biochemistry' by Dr. Pharon:
Substance Milligrams
1] Urea nitrogen 682.00
2] Urea 1459.00

7] Amino nitrogen 9.70
8] Ammonia nitrogen 57.00
9] Sodium 212.00
10] Potassium 137.00
11] Calcium 19.50
12] Magnesium 11.30
13] Chloride 314.00
14] Total sulphate 91.00
15] Inorganic sulphate 83.00

Some other important constituents of urine are as follows:
- Enzymes
- Amylase
(diastase).
- Lactic
dehydrogenate (L. D. H.).
- Leucine
amino-peptidase (L. A. P.).
- Urokinase.
Hormones
- Catechol
amines.
- Hydroxy-steroids.
- 17-Catosteroids.
- Erythropoietine.
- Adenylate
cyclase.
- Prostaglandin's.
- Sex
hormones.
Miscellaneous
There is a strong possibility of there being several other
beneficial substances not yet know to science, in addition
to the above substances, present in urine.
Urokinase, an enzyme present in urine, prevents the formation
of blood clots in the blood vessels, and is even capable
of dissolving clots already formed. When such blood clots
obstruct the flow of blood in the blood vessels of the
heart a heart attack may be precipitated. Dr. Mezel of
the Edgewater Hospital of Chicago, IL USA, injects urokinase
into the bodies of victims of heart attacks thus aborting
the attack and saving the life of the patient.
Dr. Salaria, an eminent surgeon of Ahmedabad, Gujarat,
India, too makes it a practice to give an injection of
the patients own urine before undertaking surgery so as
to forestall any risk of overburdening or harming the heart
during or after the operation.
The hormone erythropoietine, one of the substances usually
present in urine, stimulates the bone marrow to increase
the rate of production of erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles).
This is the reason why a patient of anaemia derives substantial
benefit from auto-urine therapy.
Another hormone present in urine, adenylate cyclase, co-ordinates
the actions of all hormones in the body through the production
of a substance known as cyclic A. M. P..
Prostaglandin is a hormone that is essential for the contraction
of the muscles of the uterus. Many scientists are of the
opinion that this hormone can act as a contraceptive.
Urine contains sex hormones, insulin and growth hormones
as well.
The Nobel Laureate Albert Sczent Georgyi has carried out
a number of experiments testing the effect of methyl glyoxal,
a constituent of urine, on cancer patients, and has had
considerable success in several cases.
In addition to the above, one must not lose sight of the
high probability of the presence of urine in many substances
which are as yet unknown to science.
All the beneficial substances are present in urine in
very finely divided and highly potentised forms. As a result
they are quickly absorbed from the stomach and the intestines
within a short time following the imbibing of urine. And
despite the extremely small quantities in which they are
present in the urine, they have been found to be of great
benefits to the body.
Dr. Dharmadhikari of Pune in Maharashtra state, India,
has tried auto urine therapy on more than 200 patients,
and has carried out scientific investigations related to
this therapy. Here are the conclusions he has arrived at
as a result of these researches:
- The body begins to absorb more oxygen from
the atmosphere after the commencement of auto-urine
therapy, and the metabolic reactions are speeded up.
The results of a large number of experiments support
this conclusion.
- The commencement of auto-urine therapy is
invariably followed by a slow but definite increase
in the number of red blood corpuscles in and the haemoglobin
content of the blood.
Dr. Dharmadhikari believes that these changes in body
functions play a very important part in curing disorders.
In the book 'Yoga' published by the Bihar School of Yoga,
Monghyr, a knowledgeable and learned doctor has ascribed
the efficacy of urine to the following reasons:
- Urine supplements the essential nutrients
and makes up the deficiency of any nutrient in the
body.
- Urine contains highly active enzymes, that
have a salutary effect on al the physiological reaction
taking place in the body
- Urine contains valuable salts necessary for
the body. (The well-known and widely prevalent 'Biochemic'
therapeutic system uses just twelve salts to cure any
and every disease).
- The hormones contained in urine are of great
benefit to the body.
- Urine possesses bactericidal properties.
It therefore destroys the disease-causing bacteria in
the body, especially those infesting the digestive tract.
- The substances present in the urine augment
and sharpen the body's natural powers of resistance to
disease.
- The substance called 'urea' present in urine
is a diuretic and increases the efficiency of the kidneys.
- Urine is a tonic that strengthens the body,
and an 'elixir' the confers longevity .
Ayurveda and other ancient works on medicinal science
have accorded their approval to the drinking of urine as
a therapeutic measure. Ayurveda regards urine as an effective
antidote against the harmful confluence of excesses of
the three humours.
It is believed by some researchers that urine acts like a
vaccine, promoting the generation of antibodies that fight
and over the agencies that cause disorders, thus resisting
and curing diseases.
