Dear Demi, I can only speak for myself, I gave up taking echinacea tablets one day and started doing ut the next the rash tha I had was gone in a matter of days, one can only say it depends on the symtom and the severety of the case.

This may be late, with the question being so old, but I feel I have something to give to persons enquiring about Urine Therapy.

I have been subject to headaches, joint ache, sickness, and viral infections for many years, and as a last resort, 10 days ago, whilst looking for herbal anti biotic alternatives, I chanced upon a website suggesting UT.

I have tried everything else, to gain health, and all have made no difference at all - I could time the occurance of headaches to the minute - if I stayed in bed after 7 am, or slept in the day, or ate the wrong food, or smelled the wrong smell, a headache of very persistant kind, with massive, life altering pain would occur. Headache so bad, to make me whimper and hide. NOT migrane. I have got that on occasion, and it is different.

Since reluctantly ingesting a minute quantity of urine the first day, and feeling good about it, I now take as much as it takes to make me feel good - usually one to two ounces. Within ten minutes of each dose, I no longer have the discomfort I had, and can do something that day.. In 10 days, I have gone from sickly to healthy.

I have issues about my body that are being addressed for the first time in 50 years, and now feel good. Interestingly, as a very welcome side effect, I can now maintain an erection, and have successful sexual contact. That is a first for over 6 years.

My eyes have 'cleared up' and sparkle, my skin is more elastic, and less dry, my breathing is easier, and I have fewer rashes, spots, or other blemishes.

The concept is freaky, but I have conducted 4 days of none stop research, and have found nothing sustained condemning the therapy - all boards, websites or other resources that claim danger, do not validate their statements, and if on a board, the reply ability is disabled. By far the vast number of resources praise the therapy. The hardest thing to find out, is what is the maximum dose? I have been experimenting with large amounts, and still feel really good.
