Hi! Yes, I heard about it becuase many people in our locality was intrigued by that controversy. According to them, they heard it from the chinese people to drink your ealy morning urine to cure almost all your ailments and my dad ask me that question also. Well, I am on the medical field and I believe that the alleviation of symptoms are mere placebo effect. Urine is an ultrafiltrate of our plasma(blood) that contains solutes(excess electrolytes) and nitrogenous wastes. There are no substances in the urine that could possibly cure ailments. I specifically know all the chemical and microscopic component of urine becuase I worked as a laboratory scientist before. So, It is really up to you if you want to try it, but if you want to try it, please make sure that you are free of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases or else your mouth may harbor gonorrhea sticking in your tonsils. This actually happened to a patient.

I have heard of this however its not recommended
there have many myths about what urine is good for like using it as a toner first thing in the morning to help get rid of skin infection. there are survival times when one can extract the water from ones urine, but logic tells me that urine is a way for the body to remove toxins and unneeded minerals why would i want to out them back in ,,,, and btw ewwwww its like drinking a bum

I've heard of it but would not want to try it. I thought that some pervert made this up and is laughing away at all the people he convinced to try it.

That is a bunch of crap and I've never heard of it.
Urine is nothing but chemical wastes from the body. All you are doing is putting garbage back into your system that your body is trying to get rid of.
