This [horse piss] you refer to is premarin pregnant mares urine.
Medical research have some evidence of healing purposes and are still hoping to show it will prevent heart disease, cancer and broken bones of elderly people. This research is on going in America.
It is cruel how the urine from the pregnant mares is collected and how these mares are farmed for this purpose.
Kept in conditions of abuse without exercise continuously pregnant tied with standing room only the urine is milked for the mares with a bag contraption placed around the genitals. The mares are all standing in a pee production line.

It is not possible to us to know if mrs. Thatcher did that really. Just this person can answer yes or not.
In any case, she was a chemist, as I know, so she had the scientific level to know the synthesis of urine and the meccanism of action of the active ingredients( or where to look and find it).
If she was also an amateur of the Asian philosophy and the auyverdic methods then it is possible that she did.
Nowadays, there is the possibility to isolate the components of urine or any other natural substance and condense these components and transform them to a medicine, a pill, a scirop ecc.
So, there is no need anymore to take the natural substance as it is present in nature (ie. drink urine) that is also disgusting!
It is more than sure that mrs. Thatcher knew also that. Can you understand now why only this woman can answer about her choices?

most likely not but i would look up the properties of the urnine to see if there are any high concentrations of any kind of beneficial substance in it to see if it would have ANY benefit at all. Some cultures eat the feces of different kinds of animals that don't fully digest their food and therefore may have some unique nutritional properties. It's odd but true. Check out what's in the piss.

Don't know if it's true but the estrogen pill Premarin is derived from pregnant mare's urine. So this is what you might have heard about. Women were given estrogen more frequently years ago to cope with menopause.

While it would explain the way she looked... horse piss to my knowledge has no proven benefits... apparently, according to inyanga's, baboon piss may cure TB
