Re: drinking slightly older urine

When I first started UT several years ago I was using it externally and I was using two and three day old urine as recommended by some of what I was reading at that time.  First off, I found no benefits from external application (I was doing this before I could stand to drink it) on my hair/dandruff and athlete's foot problem.  No benefits at all.  I also found that old urine stinks to high heaven and stains literally everything that it comes in contact with - even glass and porcelain.   Then when I began drinking my urine I found all the benefits that topical application didn't provide so quit hanging onto the stinky stuff.

By drinking old urine you are drinking ammonia and ammonia has been a cleanser for centuries before modern cleaning methods but don't know if I'd like to ingest it.

Even though urine isn't really antibacterial you will find those who claim it is.  In reading Golden Fountain by Van Der Kroon (first book I read on the subject) he was travelling in India or Southern Asia and got a bad cut on his toe/foot and it became infected.  The locals had him wrap gauze around the sore and taught him to keep that gauze continuously soaked in urine and his infection went away and his sore healed up.  (This is also recommended today by many who are committed to UT.)  So he and others have made the claim that it is antibacterial but that doesn't explain why one can get a bladder infection that isn't cured by urine but does go away with antibiotics.  So - what healed Van Der Kroon?  It has to be something in the urea.  Don't have the foggiest notion what it can be.
