    Ziya, thats just someone else making the same claims, it's not a source of information. I want to see research, statistical analasys and data, not unfounded, unsupported claims that drinking piss "balances your airs", whatever that is.

    Most would say because urine is waste being released from the body which meat is not.

    But it wouldn't surprise me if there are items found in the urine that could be of use. Just like hCG comes from a pregnant woman's urine which is the only example I know of off the top of my head. Of course people don't drink urine for the hCG, it's extracted. hCG is used in men as a hypogonadism and fertility treatment as well as a few other uses that are controversial and not well tested.

    Just keep the urine out of my water bottle and I'll have no problem with you drinking it lol.

    Good to read latest reply. This thread shouldn't be a battlefield of Atheist Vs. Religious people.

    What? Please explain any scientific "reasoning" behind the health of drinking cow urine.

    Who does? Please. I've got to see a link to that. Does anybody know of even one person who makes this claim?

    Has there been any double-blind testing of these properties? It sounds far more like the placebo effect than any real curing abilities in urine, but I'm willing to open my mind if there is something more than claims and ads to back it up.

    Ah, I see. A few people take the example of Ghandi, and do it because he and Nero did it. IMO, these people are thundering lunatics and incredibly credulous. Without some serious scientific backing it is silly to believe such superstitions based on this.

    Now, do you know of even one person personally who believes that drinking this is good for you? I do know that some sex freakos will do it because they are freaks, but that isn't quite the same thing.

    exactly these are the types of idiots who sleep with crystals next to thier bed and praise homeopathy. i.e the types of people to whom evidence and reason aren't important so long as they have been tricked in to "believing" something.

    So, you are okay with people drinking their own piss for sexual satisfaction but not okay with it if they drink it for health purpose (even if its on based on a belief). I am not arguing on the merit of urine for health here ... but whats your point?

    I'm okay with people doing whatever they want. It doesn't change that IMO they are thundering lunatics.

    As I said, without some serious scientific testing and backing, this speaks of snake oil. No wonder that bad magician dude can convince people he's a messiah in India...

    Completely agree with you except for the part that it happens only in India. Bad magician dudes have great business running in most of the third world countries. IMO its got to do with the lack of education in those parts of the world. Nothing else.

    True that. And I don't blame people in India for this drinking thing. It's been a regular practice there for a long time. I can see people thinking that drinking communion wine is a healing elixir, in fact I know people who think it is.

    It's just that, IMO, some testing needs to be done to verify the claims, or to debunk them.

    I feel bad for the people who would fall for those silly tricks though. I mean, ash pills and poorly hidden eggs in towels?

    Please use the multi quote option when quoting.


    Preconceived notions in most cases will not help.

    There is scientific reasoning and proof that cows milk is good for health.

    There is reasoning and proof that actually cows milk is good for the calf and not to us.

    There is scientific reasoning for the carcinogenic nature of milk.

    What's the scientific conclusion ??? :rolleyes::rolleyes:


    Approximations, generalizations and rounding of are all parts of science.
