Welcome back to Zylka's facial care corner HAHAHA

[Zylka]

Look what I came across on another site:

Has anyone had experiene with topically applying urine to get rid of acne? What about drinking it? I did a little internet research on this and found a few success stories but I couldn't find too much info on the way to go about drinking/applying urine. Some people even claimed drinking urine gave them more energy, made them feel better and healthier, etc.

I'm referring to drinking one's own urine of course

Of course! How silly of us to think otherwise... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...and shortly after, giving it full credit as a real consideration - a link to the complete and fantabulous URINE THERAPY

Now the world is full of crazy ideas along this same lines (Civilian terrorism and "allowing woman to drive", for example) - but could this in any way have true medicinal benefits? Acupuncture is an odd example which is increasingly gaining in popularity and support... so why not this?

Uh

Supposedly pissing on your toes gets ride of athlete's foot. I believe the claim is the uritic acid kills the fungus.

[:) Smiley]

Get's rid of athlete's foot... but makes your feet smell even worse.

[Ted Striker]

I think that they put piss in alot of women's lotions and stuff.

Isn't it called urea on the label?

"Urea is the chief nitrogenous waste of mammals. "

[Al B. Sure!]

what affliction was it where you're supposed to urinate on yourself barring any real medical treatment? burns?

and who was the guy who drank his own urine and was said to piss clear urine?

[Shi Huangdi]

Urine is poisonous, your body is disposing of it for a reason. Don't drink it.

[Ted Striker]

too late

[Al B. Sure!]

i got a serious question while on this topic... lately, i've been having a lot of what appear to be air bubbles in the water after i expel my urine... at first i thought i was urinating too hard (urine hitting the toilet water too fast or something) but thats not it...

[Asher]

I think you're full of hot air.

Albert: The bubbles are most likely coming from the fact that you are airating it when it hits the water in the toilet thus creating bubbles.

I can't believe the mods closed the drawas thread.

[st_swithin]

You piss on cnidarian stings. You can also use vinegar to neutralise the burn.

Urine is sterile - no bacteria, so it can be used to clean wounds and burns if clean water isn't available.

Drinking urine in small quantities isn't particularly harmful to your health provided you take plenty of other fluids. Drinking too much urine dumps the nitrogen waste products that your kidneys removed from your bloodstream back into your body. The eventual result is AFAIK kidney failure and death.

Personally, I can understand and would use urine to clean a wound in an emergency but drinking the stuff? - that's sick.
