Re: First day of 2nd fast I feel absolutely awful....
Urine is certainly not poisonous to us. There are toxins expelled through it but they are processed by the body in some way as to make them harmless to us. Urine therapy works on the principle that what comes out in our urine is like a homeopathic road map to the cures of what ails us.
So just as in homeopathy you can take a spider venom for example, dilute it and spin that diluted potion around x amount of times to create an anti venom, so our own bodies create their own diluted homeopathic solution naturally and we call it urine.
That's the theory as I understand it. :)
Whatever the case, I still believe that we can achieve far more by restricting intake and letting our body do what it does naturally than by adding anything to our body. Medicines of any sort can only be targetted, and usually very poorly targetted and more often than not having harmful side effects to parts of our system that it isn't targetting. While fasting our body can deal with everything it needs to in order of importance to a properly functioning system. We don't know nearly enough about our body to second guess that process as yet so I don't think we should be playing around with it.
