I have read that drinking your own urine is a really excellent thing for general health. Does anyone know if this is true. I havent tried yet but i'm assured it works. Any sensible comments would be appreciated.

Yes, I drink a glass full of my first pee in the morning - that is the best time.

Not me - but a good number of people believe it has health benefits:
In countries such as India, Thailand and China, it is considered normal by some groups to drink your own urine for health and cosmetic purposes. This health branch of drinking urine is considered to be labeled as Urine therapy. Also, an old method of teeth-whitening during the Renaissance involved the consumption of urine, though it needn't be, and wasn't always necessarily, that of the user.
Morarji Desai, former Prime Minister of India (1977-1979), practiced urine drinking

I don't see how that could possibly be good for you. I mean your urine consists of acid that your body doesn't need. That's why it's released from your body in the first place. When you eat food or drink something, your body processes it and then you get rid of the bad stuff. So no, I don't think that's true. Who is assuring you this is true?

Only thing I know is pee has ammonia so I don't think it would be good unless you were without water and dehydrating and there was nothing else to drink. It might save your life but it couldn't be good. If you are surfing and get stung by a jellyfish the ammonia in your pee helps heal the stings, that's all I know.

Maybe in small amounts but I still wouldn't try it.Urine is mostly nitrogen & look what pure urine does to your grass....it burns it.I've drank moonshine that burns like a mutha fukka but it is still a far cry from urine.

That's just nasty! But if you are serious about wanting to try, simply consult your physician before you do.
