Not initially, the ammonia comes after time. If you drink fresh, no problems.

Urine is released normally into the gastrointestinal system by the liver, whereupon it's metabolised by urea-splitting bacteria.

The ammonia is absorbed by the digestive system and back into the blood, where once again the liver must convert the ammonia into urea.

There have been studies showing that supplemental urea given to volunteers improved glycine status in people on low protein diets.

OLD urine contains ammonia and should be used externally to cure psoriasis, acne, eczema, etc. Daily topical application of old (2-3 days) will cure various skin conditions in 2-3 weeks.

Fresh urine should be consumed orally to cure many things.

I have a number of seemingly unrelated health problems. All of these have been diagnosed as "chronic" and there is no cure. I've been to many doctors, changed my diet many times and have tried every alternative therapy out there.

On a whim, I tried urine therapy. Not only is it clearing up my skin, its reduced inflammation in my joints and I'm hopeful it will keep me out of a wheelchair.

Have I convinced myself that it is working? No; it is working!
