Urine is not, as many believe, the excess water from food and liquids that goes through the intestines and is ejected from the body as "waste". It is much different and much more. When you eat, the food you ingest is eventually broken down in the stomach and intestines into extremely small molecules. These molecules are absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and then pass through these tubes into the blood stream. The blood circulates throughout your body carrying these food molecules and other nutrients, along with critical immune defense and regulating elements such as red and white blood cells, antibodies, plasma, microscopic proteins, hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all manufactured at different locations in the body.
As the blood circulates, it passes through the liver where toxins are removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste. Eventually, this now purified "cleaned" blood makes its way to the kidneys. When blood enters the kidneys it is filtered through an immensely complex and intricate system of minute tubules called nephron through which the blood is literally "squeezed" at high pressure. This filtering process removes excess amounts of water, salts and other elements in the blood that your body does not need at the time.
These excess elements are collected within the kidney in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution called urine. Many of the constituents of this filtered watery solution, or urine, are then reabsorbed by the nephron and delivered back into the bloodstream. The remainder of the urine passes out of the kidneys into the bladder and is then excreted from the body.
The function of the kidneys is to keep the various elements in your blood balanced. When your body doesn't need something at a particular time, it is excreted - not because it is toxic or poisonous or bad for the body, but simply because the body does not need that particular element at the time.
Medical researchers have discovered that many of the elements of the blood that are found in urine have enormous medicinal value, and when reintroduced to the body, they boost the body's immune defenses and stimulate healing in a way that nothing else does....
I don't know much about urine therapy, have had a close friend heal herself with UT, yet have never tried it myself ... but wonder about something you said.
Perhaps you might explain it to me.
"When your body doesn't need something at a particular time, it is excreted - not because it is toxic or poisonous or bad for the body, but simply because the body does not need that particular element at the time."
I don't understand why one would consume their urine at a time when the body is excreting it "because the body does not need that particular element at the time".
Or would you suggest storing the urine for when the body needs it (i.e. is not excreting it)?
(( "When your body doesn't need something at a particular time, it is excreted - not because it is toxic or poisonous or bad for the body, but simply because the body does not need that particular element at the time." ))
This paragraph is meant to dispel the notion that urine is toxic or unclean, which is the perception of most people not familiar with the subject.
(( "I don't understand why one would consume their urine at a time when the body is excreting it "because the body does not need that particular element at the time"." ))
One consumes urine in order to assimilate other compounds in the urine i.e. antibodies, protein, hormones etc, and use them to gain health. The antibodies, in particular, are used to fight infections or disease.
Humans readily take artificial antibiotics for an infection but don't use the antibodies produced by their own immune systems, which is very specific to each body.
As for the extra elements found in urine, it's not an issue at all. Most people eat more than what the body needs anyway. This leads to overwork of the digestive organs.
BTW, you can easily reduce the amount of food you eat by chewing *more* thoroughly, with every bite. Try chewing the same food for at least 10-15 times (count them).

Do you know what urine means?
