Ms. W.M., The Netherlands 
"I discovered urine therapy in India, where I lived for 
quite some time. I regularly came across a man at 
the bank where I did my banking. One day he did 
not show up, and I heard from others that he had 
typhoid, a serious, debilitating and often fatal illness. I regularly inquired after his health, and heard that 
with each attack it was expected that he would die. Some time later, however, I saw him at the bank 
again, and he was in the pink of heaith! Only later did I hear from him how he had 
regained his health. I had told him that my own 
children were seriously ill, and he told me that he 
had cured himself of typhoid with urine therapy. My four children all had a blood disease known as 
mononucleosis. They were weak, fatigued and 
listless, and constantly ran a fever. I had my two 
youngest children urinate into a brown bottle, and 
later gave this to them as medicine, without letting 
them know that they were drinking their own urine. My nanny was a great help -she even encouraged 
me to try this method. She came from Kerala, a statE 
in the south of India where, as she told me, many 
fishermen also used urine. They often cut themselves 
on the fish, causing rather nasty infections, in which 
case urine can be used as an effective remedy. For a 
few days, I had my children fast and massaged them 
every day for a few hours with urine. At first it was 
difficult, as my husband was completely against this 
method. Some time later, I had my children repeat 
the fast for a period of ten days, and they respondec positively. Their health greatly improved: they 
regained their healthy appetites, performed much 
better at school and were more creative. Apparently, 
they were cleansed on many inner levels. Of course, I also decided to try urine therapy. Ever 
since I was eighteen, I had suffered from bronchitis, 
sinusitis, and chronic anaemia. After trying urine 
therapy, I felt much better. Furthermore, the 
laboratory technicians were astonished at the 
sudden rise in my haemoglobin percentage, which 
had increased to the accepted standard! I later stopped using urine therapy, until I 
discovered that I had a tumour in my breast which 
was likely to become malignant. Initially, nobody 
wanted to help and support me in treating the 
tumour with urine therapy. The alternatives were 
chemical medication and probably a breast 
amputation. I wanted to prevent this at all costs. At that time, I met Elly, a Dutch woman living in 
an ashram in India. She supported me, and I went 
with my family to the ashram where I regularly drank 
my own urine. I decided not to constantly check and 
see if the tumour was still there, and at one point I 
discovered that it was gone. At that time, I had only 
drunk my urine, without massaging myself with it. I also used urine to heal wounds. I treated 
somebody with third-degree burns with urine 
therapy, and practically no scars remained. I also 
successfully applied urine compresses when my 
children had scrapes or were bitten by jellyfish or 
insects. I used to be a nurse, and know quite a bit about 
medicine. I worked in the operation room, in district 
nursing and in private nursing, and have seen 
allopathic medicine fail many times, which makes it easier for me to work with urine therapy. In India, I 
worked quite a lot with natural medicine. Whenever 
I heard about a therapy that helped improve health, 
I researched it and tried it out. In this way, I have 
become acquainted with a number of different 
therapies. But urine therapy beats them all! Nothing 
is better than urine therapy." Ms. LT., The Netherlands 
"I am forty years old and work as a journalist. The 
first three months that I worked with urine therapy, I 
wrote a book, moved, and kept my routine going as 
a single working mother. This should give you an 
idea about the enormous amount of energy I 
possessed. At the time, there was also an influenza 
epidemic in the Netherlands and almost everybody I 
knew had been sick, myself excluded. One night it 
began, starting with a pounding, infected feeling in 
my nose and gums (a weak spot), a dry throat and 
teary eyes. I figured it was logical that I break down 
once the greatest pressure was over. I gargled and 
rinsed my gums with fresh urine and doubled the 
daily dose of urine I normally drank. A day and a half 
later, I was completely recovered, and did not even 
have a runny nose any more. The flu, or whatever it 
was, had not intensified. In the initial phase, perhaps the most remarkable 
effect of urine was on my moods. Drinking my own 
urine helped me break down barriers I never thought 
I could, and gave me a delightful feeling of inner 
freedom. It was something like, 'If I can do this, I 
can do almost anything.' Like go to Australia, or 
whatever. That feeling of freedom has remained." Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 93 Mr. E.J.P., The Netherlands 
"Around 1975 I heard and read about urine therapy 
for the first time. That was in Bombay, India. Much earlier, when I was eleven years old, I had 
heard about and seen this remarkable rituai in which 
freshly discharged urine is consumed, for example by 
animals (goats and certain apes use this method 
during illness). It certainly was interestinQ that this ancien( 
exceptional knowledge should once again enter my 
life in the form of a book by Ach. ::Jrya Jagdish B. He is 
an Indian publisher who had made it his mission in 
life to promote and popularise this excellent, 
personal therapy. In this same period, the Indian 
prime minister Morarji Desai made no bones about 
the fact that drinking urine was the secret of his 
virility and energetic attitude towards life. If I 
remember correctly, this man was well into his 
seventies and still functioned as prime minister. I 
recently heard that he i~ now in his nineties and still 
leads an active and healthy life. Although I was familiar with this fantastic therapy 
and had heard that it can help cure illnesses such as 
. cancer, leukaemia, gangrene and many other 
infections, I could not bring myself to directly try out 
this method. This happened approximately four years later. In 
all that time, I still had r.ot found anybody who was 
experienced in this method, and so I had to rely on 
my f~eling which told me that this knowledge was 
indeed valuable. Fate placed me in a situation in 
which I was put in an isolation cell for alleged 
dealing in hash while on vacation in Northern 
94 A Source of Inspiration Europe. In order to get released from the isolation 
cell and into the hospital, where a friend of mine 
was hospitalized, I decided to see what would 
happen if I drank my own urine. If it made me sick, 
my experiment would be a success; if not, I would 
have to try something else in order to be taken to 
the hospital. The first morning, I immediately spit out the first 
sip of urine before it even touched my tongue, and 
threw away the rest of the urine. Disgusting, I 
thought, I'll never do that again. The next morning, motivated by my desire to get 
to the hospital as quickly as possible, I tried drinking 
my own urine for a second time, once again with 
the same unpleasant result; mental blocks can 
sometimes be obstinate barriers. The third day, I finally succeeded in swallowing a 
full sip of urine. I sat quietly in order to analyse what 
might happen. The taste was not as bad as I had 
expected -a lightly salty aftertaste which 
disappeared rather quickly. Incidentally, I have drunk 
more disgusting tasting liquids prescribed by the 
doctor in order to improve my health. Approximately five minutes later, I quite urgently 
had to defecate. No sooner had I sat on the toilet 
than I defecated quickly and easily, which was 
remarkable since I had been suffering from 
constipation from the unhealthy prison food. Five 
minutes later I defecated again, and finally felt 
relieved. Since that morning, I have repeated this ritual 
every day and have not suffered from constipation. Remarkably enough, a dozen small warts which I 
had had my whole life on my hands also disappeared after eight days, as if they had suddenly 
fallen off. A few pustules arose here and there, one 
of which burst open after a ripening process of 
approximately eight days, releasing one and a half 
teaspoons of pus. Obviously, a cleansing process had 
started in my body. After a number of weeks in 
which I ritually drank my morning urine, I noticed 
that changes were slowly beginning to take plnce in 
my body. Now, after using urine for fourteen years, I 
can confirm that I am 99% less susceptible to all 
kinds of epidemics, flus, infections and other 
miseries to which I used to be very susceptible. You 
do not have to be sick in order to start urine therapy. In theory, urine therapy increases yot1r resistance to 
illness, and sometimes small irregularities come to 
the surface and can be dealt with. I hope this story sheds more light on the positive 
effects of urine therapy and wish every researcher 
success with his or her research and findings with 
this 'ultimate survival' method." Ms. M.v.L., The Netherlands 
"In my opinion, Shivambu Kalpa (urine therapy) is 
the most miraculous and effective way to treat all 
physical ailments and illnesses. The best thing about 
this therapy is that it not only eliminates the 
symptoms, but also works on the cau~ es. That's how 
I see it truth, simplicity and lov• 
I was first introduced to this merapy 
approximately twelve years ago. In the Babaji's 
ashram in India where I was staying, I came across 
an Australian man standing on a ladder, painting the temple walkway. His feet were on eye level, and I 
could see that they were covered with wounds and 
sores. I called to him, "Hey John, you've got to do 
something about those feet of yours." He answered, 
"Yes, yes, I piss on them." I said to him, motherly as I 
am, "Come on, John, don't be angry, I have some 
powerful calendula ointment." He answered once 
again, "No, no, I simply piss on them." After calling 
f)ack and forth to each other, he came down from 
the ladder and explained his therapy to me. I did not 
believe a word of what he said, and kept going on 
about my calendula ointment. "There is a book in 
the library you should read," he said. I was 
completely baffled when I read it, but I felt, I knew it 
was good. After a week, his feet were as clean and smooth 
as a baby's bottom. I used urine when I had a sore 
throat and for small scrapes, and started to tell 
people about urine therapy. Later, however, I more 
or less forgot about it and started using other 
medication again. A few years later, I hiked through 
the jungle in the 'wrong' shoes, as I had lost my 
good shoes. When I got home, my right foot looked 
terrible~ the big toe was completely open and full 
of dirt. I tried calendula. The second day, my foot 
was terribly swollen and was very painful. The local 
doctor said that I either had to take antibiotics or my 
foot would have to be amputated. I suddenly 
remembered John anC: his wonder drug. I placed a 
cloth soaked in my own urine on my toes and foot, 
up to the ankle, and wrapped a plastic bag around 
the cloth. I was a sight! But I knew it would work. Within a few hours, the pain was gone, although 
the wounds on my toes and the swelling were still 
Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 95 there. The doctor panicked and became angry with 
me. But I did not want to take antibiotics. The first 
two days, I changed the urine cloths every two hours 
and drank the rest of the urine. Within a week, my 
foot was better. The doctor was still angry, but 
surprised as well. I gave him Armstr011g's book on 
urine therapy. Actually, he was already familiar with 
the therapy, but as an Indian doctor he thought 
working with antibiotics was 'more impressive'. Since 
then, this doctor has cured many people with 
Shivambu Kalpa (urine therapy). In the last ten years, I have worked a great deal with 
urine therapy and have achieved spectacular results. Earaches, eye infections, fever, burns (also sunburn): 
urine therapy has helped heal all of these ailments. It 
changed the life of a German girl, whom I met in 
India. Whenever the temperature rose even just a little, 
she would be covered wit~ eczema. I once asked her, 
"Why do you always wear long-sleeve shirts and long 
skirts when it is so hot?" She rolled up her sleeve and 
said, "That's why." A terrible case of eczema covered 
the skin on her arms and legs. Following my advice, 
she started to rub her own urine onto her arms and 
legs. The pain and itching disappeared immediately, 
and after a few days, her arms were only red. She 
plucked up the courage to drink urine, and gained so 
much faith in her healing that she even started 
drinking extra water so that she would produce more 
urine. After two weeks, the eczema had completely 
disappeared. And it has not come back since! Urine therapy has convinced me of the healing 
power we all possess within ourselves, not only 
metaphysical but also physical. Thank you, my body, 
for the magical power of your water. I bow in respect 
for the water of life!" 96 A Source of Inspiration Mr. V.M., Germany 
"I'll say it straight off: I do not have any great, 
miraculous recovery to report. When I was a child, I 
tasted my urine out of curiosity. It tasted sharp and 
burned a bit, and I could not imagine that I would 
ever drink it again. Nevertheless, I heard from a good friend about 
the positive effects of urine, and after a long period 
of doubt, I tried it anyway. I woke up one day and 
knew right away that today would be the day. So I 
urinated into a glass, smelled it and emptied the 
glass in one draught. I was amazed. It tasted and 
smelled neutral. The only thing I found to be 
unpleasant was the temperature. The following 
morning, I decided to drink another glass of urine; 
however, the smell made me dump the urine 
immediately in the toilet. Only some time later did I consider drinking urine 
once again _,_ I had diarrhoea, my partner had left me 
and I felt generally weak. The situation could not get 
much worse, and so I drank my own fresh urine the 
whole day. After only two or three glasses, I felt less 
exhausted and from that moment on, things started 
improving. Whenever I had trouble drinking urine because of 
the taste, I held my nose, drank the urine and rinsed 
with water. Since then, I drink my urine every day 
and massage my whole body with it. My dry skin is 
not flaky any more, and I do not have to go through 
life with skin cream, which was impossible before I 
started using urine. Furthermore, urine leaves skin 
with a pleasant, slightly sweet, warm scent. It is interesting to perform a ·urine-test' every morning regarding the colour, smell, taste and 
substance. In this way, you can learn more about 
your body, feelings, food, etc. It is also exciting to 
hear new stories about this 'unusual liquid' and to 
try out new recipes. For example, when I heard that, long before 
Christ, people used urine to do the laundry and keep 
the house clean, I tried an experiment myself. I 
mixed fresh urine with urine that was approximately 
112 year old (it smelled like pure ammonia) and used 
this mixture to wash the windows. It not only 
dissolved the dirt on the windows, but also the paint 
spots and a number of other spots which I had not 
.been able to clean with any other cleanser. The same 
ithing happened when I cleaned a mirror with old 
!urine. Moreover, it did not smell dirty, my hands 
•were smooth, I could water the plants with the 
'cleaning water without a guilty conscience, and my 
windows were perfectly clean! · Because I have never been seriously ill, I unfort­
unately do not have any spectacular recoveries to 
report, at least not from myself. Even so, I strongly 
believe that urine therapy is good. This is why I 
continue to use urine." Ms. H.P., The Netherlands 
"I have suffered from rheumatism for years, especially 
in my hands. My son told me about urine therapy and 
suggested I use urine compresses. This surprised me, 
but I started treating my hands daily with urine. The 
result was extraordinary. Besides the fact that my 
hands felt much smoother, the most remarkable thing 
was that the pain practically disappeared" Ms. A.O., The Netherlands 
"My hair was dried out due to a perm and colouring. After rubbing four-day-old urine into my hair and 
letting it soak in overnight, I noticed that it had 
become softer and more manageable. I also 
massaged myself with fresh urine for a week, and 
then started drinking it with orange juice. The first 
few days, I felt quite healthy, but subsequently 
began to feel less fit. My sleeping pattern changed -
I sometimes needed a lot of sleep, sometimes very 
little. I also felt depressed from time to time. I see 
this as a purification process." Ms. D.V., The Netherlands 
"I would like to tell you about my experiences with 
urine therapy. I am 60 years old, have three children 
and am convinced that the cures for many illnesses 
are often simple and obvious. For more than a year, l·had been suffering from an 
allergic reaction to cosmetics and often had a 
terrible rash. I repressed the rash with hormonal 
ointment. Last summer, I stopped using the 
ointment and tried urine therapy. 1 August: I started drinking my own urine (at first 
with an aversion, but I quickly got used to it). I drank 
almost all of my day-and night-urine and rubbed it 
into my arms as well. (Urine has such a beautiful 
colour!) After swimming, I rubbed urine all over my 
body. Result: my dried out skin covered with rashes 
became soft and smooth. 7 August: The rash began to change: spots 
disappeared, and returned; the rash started to burn 
Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 97 more, then less. I started rubbing four-day-old urine 
into my skin (it stank!). The skin on my hands, which 
was old and wrinkly, became soft and smooth. 10 August For months, one of my teeth hurt 
whenever I drank cold water. The pain was now gone! For a year, I had suffered from dizziness due to an 
1nner ear infection. This condition improved 
considerably. Every day, I rubbed urine into my skin 
and hair, which became soft and shiny. I was less 
stressed out and had a powerful feeling of in11er 
peace. 13 August: The rash did not disappear quickly 
enough for me, so I placed a compress of old urine 
on my arms and covered it with plastic. The next 
morning, the rash was gone! I could not believe my 
eyes. Over the course of the day, the rash ·returned 
and started to burn again ~md my day urine also 
tasted bitter. I stopped swimming and wrapped the 
compresses around my arms every evening. Every 
morning, the spots looked better. 17 August: I was nauseous at night and the 
following morning. I also felt diarrhoea coming on 
and was terribly tired I stayed in bed, slept a lot, 
drank extra (herbal) tea and did not eat. I had a bit 
of diarrhoea and the nausea was gone. From this 
point on, I drank my urine three times a day, covered 
my arms in the evening with urine compresses and 
washed myself in the morning with urine. Besides 
the spots, my skin looked terrific. I noticed that I 
sometim?s breathed deeply, a cross between a sigh 
and a gasp. This felt like a kind of release, as if 
everything was falling into place. I also cut salt out 
of my diet. 19 August: After six days of compresses, the rash 
98 A Source of Inspiration was almost gone! I did it without the use of ,, 
hormonal ointment. My entire system was more in i 
balance, and I suspected that this would influence 
my total development (physical and spiritual). It is 
incredible that our bodies produce a medicine, 
always at our disposal. 25 August My arms were completely clean and 
the skin looked beautiful. A number of wartlike 
growths on my hands and face, which had arisen 
during the period I had used the hormonal ointment 
a year earlier, also almost completely disappE:ared. Swollen moles on my face shrank. A lump on my 
forefinger joint disappeared. A wart under my arm 
almost completely disappeared. The old urine also 
smelled better. I feel much better since I started using urine 
therapy. I can imagine that the pharmaceutical 
industry is not thrilled with this therapy, but that is 
their problem·. Hopefully, people will quickly realise 
that medication does not have to be expensive, and 
that we always have it at our side. What has 
happened to me in four weeks is incredible, and so 
concretely observable!" Mr. D.v.K ... The Netherlands 
"I started using urine therapy when I stopped 
smoking. I had read that urine therapy has a 
detoxifying effect, and that was just what I needed. I 
carefully started drinking the urine in small sips 
(literal:y shivering with disgust), massaging myself 
with five-day-old urine, and even sniffing it into my 
nostrils. The whole day I thought I smelled urine everywhere- a strange experience! After a few days 
my kidneys started to hurt, as if somebody were 
wringing them out by squeezing them. I regularly 
suffered from shooting pains and after a few days 
my urine contained fine grit. The grit could have 
been caused by the contraction of the kidneys, but I 
cannot be sure of this. After a week, I had enough of this arid so I 
stopped. After eight weeks I cautiously started 
again: the first few mornings I only rinsed with urine 
and thereafter started to gargle. From time to tirtle I 
drank a small sip; I started to massage my face with 
fresh urine, and later with old urine. After two days, I noticed that the urine had an 
unusual effect on my skin. My pores, which were 
often oily, were much clea-ner and my skin softer. This second attempt at using urine therapy went 
much better. After a.few days, I started drinking 
urine. I also drink some of my last urine before going 
to bed, and this seems to make my morning urine 
lighter in colour and milder in taste. After five days I started to have bad breath, and I 
sometimes had a grey film on my tongue. I had the 
feeling that my body was being cleansed (apparently 
through the breathing process). This was 
inconvenient when I was in the company of oth~r 
people: I constantly had to use breath fresheners or 
mouthwash. After a week, my lymph glands were swollen, 
especially in my right underarm. For years, I had a 
small, hard lump under my arm. This had become a 
soft bump half the size qf a hard-boiled egg. It was 
painful and frightening. I felt uneasy about the swollen areas under my arms and slept poorly. Two nights later, however, I 
felt much better. The bump under my right arm was 
still swollen, but it had decreased in size. On +t,e 
other hand, I had severe pain under both 0f my 
arms, and from time to time in my groin. I started a 
urine fast. Two days later, I still had a grey film in my mouth 
and probably still had bad breath. I took a break 
from urine therapy: for one day, I did not drink urine 
or massage with it. Strange -it seemed like I was 
more tired, as if a kind of clarity disappeared. The swelling under my arm had almost completely 
disappeared! I felt a bump the size of a pin-head 
instead of a large bean. Fantastic! A day later, the small bump had completely 
disapp~ared. I fasted the entire day on urine and a 
few glasses of water. Another nard bump in my 
underarm was becoming softer. The hard bump 
suddenly shrank to one third its size and it was as if I 
had a marble under my arm. Ten days later, I started drinking a cup of urine 
every morning and used it to wash my face and 
underarms. My skin was still grainy, my pores clearly 
undergoing a cleansing process. Sometimes when I 
looked in the mirror, I really noticed how good my 
skin looked. The rest of the day I also regularly drank 
my urine, particularly before going to bed. My urine 
is now alm9st always light in colour (also in the 
morning) and smells and tastes milder. The large lump is practically gone, and the small 
bump has not even left a trace. I believe that my 
body has found a balance and has got used to my 
daily dose of urine." Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 99 Ms. J.P., The Netherlands 
"I have been using urine therapy for almost a year 
and have achieved the following successes: 
I successfully treated an earache by putting a wad 
of cotton soaked in urine in my ear. I was able to rid 
myself of infections by soaking a plaster in old urine 
and placing this on the infected area. I got rid of 
neck warts by wiping them off with old urine. The 
pain from stinging nettle disappeared with the 
application of fresh urine. Yellow skin and calluses 
improved. I made it through the entire winter 
without a stuffed nose or the common cold. If I feel 
a cold coming on, I sniff urine, the mucus breaks up 
and after fifteen minutes I'm back to normal. Dry 
skin is a part of the past. Fasting on urine is easier 
and more effective. Hair becomes soft. Fever or flu 
lasts only twenty-fouF hours. To fight constipation, I 
drink one-day-old urine. Furthermore: I rinse off with urine after 
showering. Once every few months I use henna with 
old urine for my hair. I give myself enemas with fresh 
or old urine. Old urine on a wad of cotton helps to 
cleanse the face. I also take foot baths in old urine (I 
save the urine in an earthenware pot with a lid). Urine therapy has helped me get rid of a virus 
(CMV). Once a week, I am massaged with urine. Afterwards, I sleep soundly." 100 A Source of Inspiration Mr. J.K., The Netherlands 
"I started us1ng urine therapy a month ago, first 
externally and later internally. The first few days I 
only drank one sip, and have now increased that to 
two cups a day. Up until now, I have benefited 
tremendously. The eczema on both of my legs and 
hips was cured within one week. A wart on my 
forehead and warts on rry hands were gone after 
two weeks. To my amazement and relief, an internal 
lump on my scrotum has completely disappeared. It 
was not that difficult for me to start using urine 
therapy; I just had to get used to the idea." Mr. H.V., The Netherlands 1 
"Last year, I started washing my hair with urine. I still 
do, because my limp, soft hair has more body than : 
when I use shampoo. I have been drinking urine for six months. The first 
time I drank it, I mixed my urine with water because 
I thought it was disgusting, but since then I have got 
used to the taste and even think it tastes good. I am in good health, but two or three times a year 
I have the flu and have to stay in bed for a few days. I started drinking my urine particularly during these 
periods to see if it could help strengthen my 
resistance to the flu virus. I was greatly disappointed 
when I felt the flu coming on. I thought, "I was 
wrong- it doesn't work." However, I rested up for 
one afternoon and felt fine. This happened again the 
second time the flu was going around. I stayed in 
bed for one day, took it easy and felt completely healthy. This never would have happened so quickly 
in previous years. Three weeks ago, I accidentally spilled boiling oil 
onto my hand. I immediately ran ice cold water over 
my hand. "I need a miracle drug," I thought, "but 
what?" Of course: urine! Fortunately, I had not 
urinated in the previous few hours, so that was no 
problem. I hesitated- shouldn't I let the urine cool 
down? When I placed my hand in the bucket of 
urine, it felt healing. I later applied Propolis to the 
burned area, an ointment which contains Urea Pura 
and Allantoin (both of which are found in urine). I 
had second-degree burns. Because I was afraid that 
the burn would leave a large scar on my hand, I 
wrapped a bandage soaked in urine around my 
hand at night and covered this with cling film. I 
never sawS wound heal so beautifully!" Ms. I.M., The Netherlands 
"A year ago, I was constantly fatigued and sick, had 
little resistance to illness and was susceptible to every 
flu that went around. I regularly suffered from 
stomach cramps, neck and shoulder disorders and 
forgetfulness. My general practitioner could not find anything 
wrong with me. I went to an orthomolecular doctor, 
who ran a blood test and discovered that I had 
fungus in my blood, including candida. The fungal 
infection interfered with my kidney and liver 
functions, the g3ll production was too low and there 
was too much calcium ~n my blood. The doctor prescribed an anti-candida diet, nutritional supplements and vitamins. I had heard 
about urine therapy, and decided to try it instead I 
fasted on urine and spring water. Four days later, I had my blood tested again. My 
doctor was dumbfounded, as the fasting cure so 
clearly improved the quality of my blood. My 
immune system started to fight the fungus. New 
blood photos showed that the calcium was no 
longer present in my blood and that the intestinal 
flora had improved. I continued the cure for three weeks and ate 
bread without yeast. vegetables and fruit and every 
morning I drank a glass of urine. I kept getting 
better, had much more energy and needed less 
sleep. After these three weeks I switched over to the 
anti-candida diet plus one glass of morning urine per 
day. I never felt better! Besides the practise of drinking urine, what we eat 
is also very important, certainly in fighting candida 
disorders." Ms. M.L., Ireland 
"I recently heard about you and the therapy you 
work with. I want to let you know that in this part of 
Ireland where I live, till recently baby's were washed 
with urine. Also, children were often told to use their 
pee whenever they got wounded or cut in the fields. Unfortunately also here 'modern' life takes its toll 
and people start to think their old methods are 
primitive." Persol)al Experiences with Urine Therapy 101 Mr. G.K. I, India 
"About four years ago I got attracted towards this 
therapy and was thrilled by its wonderful results. I 
was suffering from amoebic dysentery since the last 
20 years and my physicians had assured me that it 
will accompany me forever! I was also having 
eczema since more than 40 years. To my utter 
surprise I got rid of both major diseases by this 
wonderful remedy 'Auto Urine Therapy'. You will be 
further surprised to know that there are some side 
effects too; but not of the usual harmful nature, 
which you very often suffer in allopathic treatment. I 
suffered from falling hair and dandruff. I always used 
to have cracks in my feet and even on my lips in all 
the seasons. Likewise I had stomatitis (ulcers in the 
mouth) once in a few months regularly. I got rid of 
all the above complaints and ailments unknowingly, 
as beneficial side effects of this therapy! I have 
grown younger by many years, and today I am 
having vigour stamina and energy which I didn't 
have thirty years before! My wife says, I was not so 
young, energetic and sexy even in my young days! All these benefits on a wholesale basis were achieved 
by Auto Urine Therapy of few months." (From: Wonders of Uropathy, G.K. Thakkar, see

102 A Source of Inspiration Mr. J. W, United States 
"At the International Conference on Complementary 
Medicine in Madras, I was sitting next to a physician 
from Israel who had come to India with an interest 
in working with lepers. Literature on urine therapy 
was passed to us which mentioned that urine had 
been used successfully in the treatment of leprosy. Naturally, he was interested in learning more about 
it. And of course there is really only one way a 
person can know about something like urine 
therapy. We both laughed... · 
It just so happened that I was coming down with 
travellers diarrhoea. So I thought I would put the 
unmentionable therapy to the test. I did and I have 
to admit that first cupful is etched in my memory. Needless to say, I didn't die, I got over my problem 
very quickly and will never know for sure if it was the 
urine that did it. After that first shot, the rest was 
downhill. I can testify with absolute confidence that the 
practice of drinking my morning overflow has 
benefited me greatly not only physically but in mind 
and spirit. It has made a steady and profound 
improvement in my health. I am not as moody as I 
used to be and this has been corroborated by my 
friends. I've been without any viral conditions since I 
began, but more importantly I am confident that 
this practice will help keep me healthy." (From: Widening Circle; A Newsletter from John M. 
Wynhausen, Doctor of Chiropractic, 1992) Mr. R.L., The Netherlands 
"Since I heard about urine therapy through 
. Armstrong's book, I often used it for oncoming 
colds, the flu, throataches- and it worked!" 6.3 Immunity-Related Diseases: 
Cance~ Allergies, AIDS 
Urine therapy and cancer 
Urine therapy has proven effective in the treatment 
of many cases of cancer. This does not make urine 
therapy into a miracle cure for cancer. Cancer is a 
severe, chronical disease and a lot of commitment, 
trust and patience are required to achieve any physi­
cal healing results. Urine therapy can be very help­
ful in either alleviating some of the symptoms and 
reducing pain, and sometimes it actually seems to 
promote complete healing of the physical manifes­
tation of the disease, the tumour itself. There are many case-histories of people healed 
from cancer with the help of urine therapy, to be 
found throughout the literature mi. urine therapy. In most of these cases, an intensive form of treat­
ment was followed: fasting on urine and water com­
bined with long massages with old urine. The reasons for urine therapy being so effective 
in treating cancer are not yet fully known. Never­
theless, it has become clear through scientific re­
search that there are many substances to be found 
in urine which have proven anti-cancer properties 
(see Chapter 5. A Natural Pharmacy: Medical and Scientific Aspects of Urine Therapy). Apart from that, 
urine therapy seems to enhance the strength of the 
immune system and since cancer is related to a 
weakening of the body's natural immunity, this 
immunity enhancing factor could be considered to 
be quite important. Part of the explanation of urine 
therapy as such an excellent natural cancer treat­
ment seems to be found in its immense nutritional 
benefits. Urine contains innumerable easily assimi­
lable nutrients, the ingestion of which helps the 
body saving its energy it would otherwise spend 
on metabolic processes needed when eating and 
drinking normal food and drinks. These nutrients 
are absorbed both in the intestines and though the 
skin through the required body massages. The testimonials given below may serve as an 
illustration to these remarks ori urine therapy and 
its healing effects on cancer. Ms. T.A., Australia 
"In 1988 I myself had cancer in the bowel, liver and 
lymph system. For the cancer in the bowel I had 
three operations within three months, after which I 
was only skin and bone. For the liver and lymph 
glands I was offered chemotherapy, which I 
declined. All the anaesthetics, antibiotics and post­
operative drugs had weakened the immune system 
to rock bottom, and because of this I had already 
started to lose great bunches of hair. I had asked God, in prayer, to bring me anything I 
needed to get well again, and the very next morning 
I was given by a friend a "Water of Life" book, which 
Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 103 in medical terms is uropathy or urine therapy, 
written by J.W Armstrong. Such is God's immediate 
response! I thanked the Father within me, and I knew that 
what I had read would totally heal me, if I now 
applied it to my own situation and condition. I 
decided not to tell my doctor or anyone until I felt 
totally healed. I did not want any discouragement or 
negative influence. I kept up with meditation and 
relaxation, my usual wheatgrass juice, mixed with 
lettuce juice to make it more palatable, and other 
veggie juices. Plenty of salads and greens, no meat, 
no cooked foods, no dairy products, oils or fats for 
three months, to heal the liver. Daily rubbings of my 
whole body, including hair and scalp, with urine. As 
J.W Armstrong wrote, and as the Bible says, "Anoint 
thy body!" The skin is an absorbing organ for the 
lymph glands. I would do this in the afternoon, and 
shower the next morning. I also drank my own 
"Water of Life" in between meals, early morning and 
during the night, up to seven glasses per day. Nine months later I went to the doctor, looking 
and feeling well, which was a great surprise to him. He thought I had already died. A blood test showed 
no remaining trace of cancer any more." Mr. J.W., United States 
"The seeds of my venture into urine therapy were 
planted during the Christmas holidays before leaving 
on my trip to India in early January 1991. I read a 
very stimulating account by Professor Evangelos D. 
Danopoulos, M.D. who had successfully treated liver 
104 A Source of Inspiration and other cancers using urea and creatine, major ~ 
components of urine. Professor Danopoulos writes: 
"The story of my use of urea in the treatment of 
cancer began in 1954 when I discovered that urine 
has anti-cancer effect. After long research I 
discovered that the anti-cancer agent in urine is 
urea. In 1969, I began to treat cancer patients with. oral urea with notable success in primary liver cancer 
or more often with liver metastases. Also it was soon 
found that injections of 15% to 50% urea in normal 
saline into and around skin cancers and malignant 
breast tumours were most effective." He goes on to 
relate the further development of using urea and 
creatine to successfully treat other types of cancer." (From: Widening Circle; A Newsletter from John M. 
Wynhausen, Doctor of Chiropractic, 1992) 
Ms. I.A., Israel 
"In 1988 a tumour was discovered on my liver. Since 
· I was already familiar with urine therapy and had 
often used it, I immediately decided to start drinking 
my urine. After a period of fasting of almost 4 weeks 
on predominantly urine and water and occasionally 
some juices, the whole tumour was gone. In this 
period I also worked on non-physical levels to 
support the healing process. The doctors concluded their diagnosis must have 
been wrong. Nobody will ever know for sure 
whether it was just an abscess or cancer, because I 
had refused to do a biopsy on me. Anyway, I 
recovered quickly and in the last week of my fast I 
even often swam a couple of kilometres a day. I believe that God has separated urine from the 
faeces so we can take the urine in again -fresh, 
pure and sterile-whenever we need it; as a 
preventative, but also to remind us that not 
everything is the way we think it is .... "

Ms. R.Y., Belgium 
"I started urine therapy as a result of a breast 
tumour I had had for a number of years. I drink six 
glasses of urine daily and rub it into my skin. From 
time to time I do a fasting cure for two or three 
days. A couple of times the cure caused me to vomit 
terribly. I also use urine compresses at night. The initial results were surprisingly convincing. The 
tumour reduced in size, the skin in that area regained 
its colour, the condition of my blood improved and 
according to a Touch for Health measurement, my 
energy on all levels was strong (it was previously quite 
weak). My skin and hair have noticeably improved. My 
eyes have improved and so have my ears, as I inject a 
few drops of urine into my ears and massage them. The only thing I miss is the laxative effect of urine, 
and so I sometimes give myself an enema. Now, however, I seem to miss noticeable progress, 
even though I continue to use urine therapy. For one 
week, I had a strong aversion to urine and doubted 
whether it could help me. That has passed, and I 
now realise that working with urine therapy is not as 
simple as I initially thought. I regularly tell others about urine therapy, 
particularly for external skin problems. People are 
more willing to try urine externally than internally. Whenever I hear their reactions, I often think: If urine 
works as well internally as it does externally, then it is 
a fantastic remedy." Mr. X., India 
"The patient was around 60 years. There were ulcers 
and fissures on the tongue and in the mouth. In a 
corner of the mouth, there was a small tumour, 
which was diagnosed as cancer. Cobalt-ray 
treatment was given. This was followed by a terrible 
feeling of burning and soreness inside. The patient thought of resorting to _Water of Life 
treatment and came to me. I examined all reports 
and the details of the treatment given. I then 
prescribed this treatment To take self-urine into the 
mouth, rinse the mouth with it and then to spit it 
out; this, five times a day, every time for 5 to 7 
minutes; and then to drink the remaining urine every 
time. The patient had a little inflammation around 
the throat and under the ear. Urine was to be 
rubbea very lightly on these parts every morning and 
evening. One month's treatment showed a 
noteworthy improvement, with less inflammation. The pain ahd soreness in the mouth had lessened, 
and in that month the patient maintained status quo 
in weight, without losing it as he had been doing. The experiment was continued." (From: Auto Urine Therapy; Science & Practice, Vaidya

Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 105 Urine therapy and allergies 
Nowadays, an immense part of the population 
seems to suffer from allergies in one form or an­
other. Allergies range from relatively simple forms. (such as mild reactions on dust particles) to more 
complex forms (such as migraine, hay fever certain 
asthmatic conditions) and extremely complex forms 
(such as combined food allergies and multiple aller­
gies in syndromes like M.E. (chronic fatigue syn­
drome)). Also many skin disorders are related to 
allergic reactions (e.g. sun allergy, certain rashes, 
allergic eczema, neurodermitis, etc.). Treatments with allopathic chemical medicines 
have, certainly on the long term, often proven inef­
fective. They can suppress certain symptoms tem­
porarily, but the symptoms usually come back even 
stronger or at other locations in the body. Nowa­
days, because of the increasing complexity of allergy 
conditions, doctots often cannot even find out any 
more what their patients are allergic to. At the same time, urine is scientifically shown 
to contain a wide range of anti-bodies. These spe­
cific anti-allergen antibodies are made by the body 
itself. When they are re-introduced back into the 
body, the allergic reaction is stopped. Urine therapy 
provides several very simple forms of doing this. With urine therapy there is no need to identify the 
allergy-causing factor. The practice of injecting urine to treat allergies 
has in several scientific research projects as well as 
through many years of practical application proven 
its tremendous value and effectiveness (see Chap­
ter 5. A Natural Pharmacy: Medical and Scientific As-
pects of Urine Therapy). · 
106 A Source of Inspiration Given below are some testimonials from people 
with allergy related disorders. Ms. T.M.K., The Netherlands 
"A year ago, I started drinking one glass of morning 
urine per day on an empty stomach. I still do, not 
because it tastes good but because this has caused a 
number of symptoms from which I was suffering to 
diminish and even disappear. The first few sips were nothing like broth, like 
everybody says. It simply tasted disgusting -salty, 
bitter and lukewarm. I followed a healthy diet, so 
that was not the cause. Even so, it was not too 
disgusting to drink, and I was sufficiently motivated. I have had M.E. (chronic fatigue syndrome) for a 
good four years. Besides being chronically fatigued, I 
often contract infections (particularly of the 
bronchial tubes), suffer from muscle and joint pain, 
and have splitting headaches which last for up to 
five days. The past few years, I was sick every six 
weeks for three consecutive weeks - a nasty cold 
complete with infected canker sores, followed by 
bronchitis. This year, since I started drinking urine, I have had 
the flu a few times, but without that horrible stuffed 
nose and bronchitis, and only had one infected 
canker sore. The muscle and joint pain gradually 
diminished and is now completely gone! My 
headaches have not disappeared, but they do not 
last as long, are less severe and occur less often. The 
fatigue has not decreased, but I do sleep better. · 
I must add that none of this can be proven scientifically. Maybe these healing processes 
spontaneously and magically occurred -who 
knows? I clearly remember that the first few weeks after I 
started drinking my morning urine, I had an unusual 
vibrating feeling in my head, as if a current of energy 
had been released. It was a very relaxing feeling. This 
lasted a few months, and I later heard that other 
'urine-drinkers' experience this as well. The most 
amazing thing is that the head colds have 
completely disappeared. My intuition tells me that 
urine therapy definitely helped cure me of those 
nasty head colds. I believe that my body lets me know when I have 
drunk the exact amount of urine that I need. I 
·always get the feeling, "Hold it, stop! Enough is 
enough." If I keep drinking to see how my body will 
react, I usually start to gag. I practise urine therapy as a kind of ritual, with a 
fixed order of doing things. For e>~ample, I could 
never leave the lavatory with my glass of urine and 
drink it in the living room or wait until it has cooled 
down -I would not be able to drink it. I stay seated 
on the toilet and drink my urine lukewarm until I 
reach the 'enough is enough' point. I sometimes 
drink a few sips of water afterwards. Drinking a glass 
of spring water or weak herbal tea in the evening 
makes the urine taste milder. To your health!" Ms. B.A., England 
"I had been suffering from migraine for twenty 
years. Because I also suffered from rheumatoid 
arthritis, I was often taking painkillers. Then I started 
drinking my urine. A few months later, my arthritis 
had disappeared and so did my headaches." Ms. E.C., The Netherlands 
"For a long time I have been suffering from strong 
hay fever attacks. Among the symptoms are itching 
and swollen eyes, asthmatic conditions and constant 
sneezing. I started to clean my eyes every morning with 
some cotton wool soaked in urine. From that 
moment on, the itching and swelling of the eyes 
disappeared, the sneezing stopped and the asthma 
attacks have become bearable." Mr. L.C., Germany 
"I was regularly suffering from sun allergy. Since I 
heard about urine therapy, I just rub my urine on the 
affected skin parts and usually the allergy rapidly 
disap~ears and the skin stops itching." Personal Experiences with Urine 17terapy 107 Mr. X., India 
"The patient, whom I am going to talk about, was 
about 40 years old. He had been getting attacks for 
the preceding 10 years. The attack began with a 
dripping nose and sneezing and was then followed 
by breathlessness. This had been diagnosed as some · 
kind of allergy. Whenever there was an attack, the 
doctor would give the patient an injection of 
adrenalin, and the patient would feel relief. This 
cycle was often repeated. I decided to give him Water of Life treatment. The 
patient agreed to abide by .the restrictions in diet 
which I suggested him. I prescribed two things: 1) To 
drink his urine twice daily in doses of 10 oz, once on 
an empty stomach and next at night, before going 
to bed, and 2) To heat fresh urine and massage the 
chest, the back, the neck, etc. with it. I also 
prescribed rapeseed oil to be taken internally. Considerable relief was felt at the end of a 
month's treatment." (From: Auto Urine Therapy; Science & Practice, 
Vaidya Pragjibhai Mohanji Rathod, Bhavnagar (India) 
1988) 
Urine therapy and AIDS 
A number of personal experiences from people with 
HIV follow below. I have already mentioned that a 
urine therapy support group exists in New York 
City with some 700 members. (Also in Los Angeles 
recently such a support group has been started.) This 
group has become so large partly due to the inspi­
ration from Ouique Palladino, a man who believed 
108 A Source of Inspiration that his remarkable remission of AIDS symptoms 
was caused by his use of urine. He has conducted a 
great deal of research on the scientific foundation 
of urine therapy and in doing so four1d and made 
available extremely useful information. Although 
his enthusiasm was great and the improvements 
remarkable, Ouique died four years ago frQm AIDS. His story would not be complete without these 
data. Following the urgent advice of a doctor, 
Ouique decided to take medication for a short pe­
riod of time in order to fight an acute infection. Because he knew that drinking urine and taking 
allopathic medication do not mix, he temporarily 
stopped urine therapy. Due to further complicati­
ons, Ouique decided to use AZT. He died a few 
months later. Urine therapy did not cause Ouique Palladino to 
go into permanent remission. His story demon­
strates, however, that the use of urine therapy can 
bring about considerable alleviation of certain 
symptoms, and therefore an improvement in the 
quality of life. The other short reports from people 
with AIDS who believe they were helped by urine 
therapy are only an indication of the possible posi­
tive effects of urine therapy in the fight against 
AIDS-specific symptoms. The case histories given 
below are by no means meant to suggest that urine 
therapy provides a cure for AIDS! Further research 
and good documentation as to where and to which 
extent these beneficial effects of urine therapy can 
be relied upon, are desired and necessary. Mr. Quique Palladino, United States 
"She didn't lil<e me at all -laughing and snickering 
at her and her partner, as I sat there on the 
hardwood floor. After all, who would take anyone 
seriously talking about drinking one's urine to cure 
any disease ... ! My main concern at the time was how was I 
going to handle this diagnosis of full-blown AIDS 
and with what level of "spirituality" was I going to 
handle an oral, palatal, Kaposi's Sarcoma lesion that 
was supposed to spread relentlessly throughout my 
body. I was told just two months prior that the 
prognosis could be about two years, more if 
fortunate, and to seriously consider preparing a 
"livirig will" ... 
For obvious reasons, I seemed to be much more 
tolerant to the idea of applying urine topically for all 
sorts of conditions. Eczema, boils, burns, cuts, 
infections, and lesions to poison ivy, hives and fungal 
infections are just a few that are alleviated or 
eradicated. I was always a strong advocate of herbal 
remedies and other gentle and natural forms of 
dealing with diseased conditions of the body, so 
douching for yeast infections, taking enemas, 
gargling, and soaking an appendage, all with one's 
own urine, seemed to awaken some ancient, 
primordial, almost hidden secret from deep inside 
me. Then I remembered my father's account of an 
Italian immigrant who drank a cup of his urine every 
day at break time in the factory, swearing it was the 
safest and most effective way to heal a large 
stomach ulcer. Then an article in Time (October 24, 1977) came to mind about how India's ex-Prime Minister, Morarji 
Desai, startled a meeting of India's Tuberculosis 
Association by informing his audience that "self­
urine" therapy was a cure for cancer and cataracts 
and that he had cured his own brother of tuberculo­
sis that way. Yes, and he has been drinking a glass­
full of his own urine for the "past five or six years." My right foot was the epitome of necrosis. For 
months the doctors had prescribed many different 
medicated creams for a voracious case of athletes 
feeVringworm. Nothing seemed to work; after all, 
the root of the problem is the immune system not 
functioning at full capacity. When Margie spoke 
about how wonderfully she had cleared up a terrible 
vaginal yeast infection in just three days by simply 
douching with her own urine in a solution of Golden 
Seai, the wheels started turning. I couldn't wait to 
go home to put my urine on the foot. That evening 
was the first time in many months that that tingling 
itch did not drive me into a frenzy! I actually got a 
full night of sleep! Stopping the applications only 
yielded regression of the foot condition, so I willingly 
sprayed the foot every morning ... 
Not only did the ringworm condition totally 
disappear after a few weeks, but the dry, cracked 
and painful skin all around my toes and bottom of 
the foot had totally changed in colour and texture! New skin had grown in and was soft as a baby's. It 
had a beautiful new flushed, almost orange-like 
colour and just did not appear to be my own skin! I 
was convinced that there was something to this 
liquid we all produce in our bodies and would have 
been very foolish not to pursue it any further. I anxiously began to research the field of the use 
Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 109 of autogenous fluids and shortly thereafter, decided 
that recycling my own urine was really a harmless 
form of auto-toleration based on theories not much 
different than those in the science of homoeopathy. I then graduated to drinking up to 8 ounces of my 
urine daily. I learned that the morning urine is the 
most potent (in beneficial effects as well as in 
consistency), for during the night when the body is· 
totally relaxed, more healing and hormonal 
processes take place. Over the next 7 months, the 
Kaposi's Sarcoma lesion became increasingly smaller 
until it has disappeared totally! The mouth ulcers 
that used to plague me, stinging during meals, have 
not returned even once. I· used to have monthly 
outbreaks of genital herpes, but I am elated to say 
that autogenous uropathy has produced a state of 
tolerance even against the herpes virus that sooner 
or later, in conjunction with Epstein-Barr (EBV), 
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Papilloma Virus would 
have surely complicated my existence and further 
weakened my immune system ... just a matter of 
time. I have never felt better in my life and I no 
longer fear for my life. For those with any AIDS-related sensitivities or 
concerns, auto-urine treatment, whether by injection 
or by drinking, seems to enhance or stimulate the 
immune system, mostly of the T-cell population. Being HIV antibody positive is not necessarily an evil; 
rather, it is a sign that the body is fighting and 
reacting to the antigen. Recycling those specific 
antibodies in your urine can increase the body's 
ability to use those antibodies, helping to return the 
body to the healthy balance on its own, achieving 
restored cell-mediated immunity. I am convinced 
110 A Source of Inspiration that antibiotics, vaccines, serums, boosters, and 
inoculations of many types only exacerbate any 
imbalances and complicate the ability of the body to i 
fight its own battles. i 
Being a PWA (Person with AIDS) should have · 
brought me many infections, major and minor, but 
after a year and a half I have not even had the flu or 
a common cold. My energy level, although it was 
never really depressed, has actually increased and my. body requires much less sleep than over the previous . 7 years of my life. I strongly believe in the holistic adage that "What ·: 
cannot be cured by the forces of the body, cannot 
be cured by the forces outside the body." What : 
relationship can be more streamlined, more intimate, ,1 
more holographic than the actual vibrations of your ~ 
own body fluids!" (From: "Urine-Therapy, Drinking from Thine Own 
Cistern", Ouique Palladino, NVA Coalition

Ms. R.G., The Netherlands 
"More than two years ago, a friend told me about 
urine therapy. I immediately started a fast for a few 
days and afterwards felt much better. Moreover, I 
had gained a great deal of faith from this 
experience: I suddenly realised what a great influ-i 
ence attitude has on health and well-being. ; 
Although I knew I was HIV-positive, I did not think! about the possible consequences. At one point, I 
started suffering from itching around my vagina; my doctor told me that this symptom often occurred in 
people who were HIV-positive. The doctor gave .me 
an ointment, but I soon stopped using it, as I could 
not stand the idea of being dependent on an 
ointment. I realised that since urine flows in and 
around that area anyway, perhaps it could help take 
away the itching. Apparently, the thought alone was 
sufficient- the symptom quickly disappeared. Some time later, I started suffering from sinusitis 
again, an old and familiar ailment. At that time, I did 
not drink my urine every day. Over a period of a few 
weeks, the sinusitis developed into a nasty, chronic, 
common cold. I could not shake this cold, and 
constantly had a splitting headache. My 
homoeopathic remedies were ineffective, and so I 
stopped taking them and at the same time started 
drinking my urine. At that time my urine was quite 
dark. A friend told me this indicated a loss of vitamin 
B, and so I started taking extra vitamin B and C. This 
was the only 'extra' remedy· that I took. I dripped old 
urine into my nose and supplemented the treatment 
with meditation and breathing exercises, such as 
pranayama. I gradually got better, and after a while 
all of the symptoms disappeared. This was a rough period for me. I was confronted 
with my fears, especially my fear of death. Afterwards, however, I was not afraid any more. I 
was very peaceful, had more faith, and developed a 
new attitude towards life, all of which I nurtured 
with meditation. I learned to let go of my 
expectations, even of meditation. Of course, at times 
my faith also failed me. Six months later I developed a number of spots 
under my arms. It seemed to be a kind of allergy, and it itched like crazy. I scratched many scabs open 
and it was very painful. When I started to dab the 
spots with urine, the scabs closed up in no time and 
the spots disappeared. Since then, I use urine for 
every scrape and wound, and it works excellently. I 
massage urine into my face, and blemishes 
disappear quickly. Whenever friends ask me how 
come I look so good, I just answer, "Urine does it!" I also plan to get my T-cell count tested regularly 
to see if anything has changed. I trust urine therapy based on what I have heard 
and read, but most of all based on my own 
experiences. I realise that only my own experiences 
can teach me anything, not within a month or a 
year, but possibly over a longer period of time." Mr. E.J.P., The Netherlands 
"I think we can also expect a lot from this method in 
the fight against AIDS. I have seen AIDS patients 
start urine therapy in spite of such trying 
circumstances, and these experiences are certainly 
encouraging. Two years ago, a friend of mine w~s 
examined for a stomach ulcer and was diagnosed as 
having 'full blown' AIDS (she had a T4 of 80; 
according to her doctors, she had three to six 
rryonths to live). She reacted badly to AZT and could 
not tolerate other medication. Two to four months 
after starting urine therapy, the spots on her skin 
disappeared, including the candida fungus which 
had turned her throat entirely white. Her energy 
returned, probably due to urine therapy combined 
with a healthy combination of plant-based remedies 
Personal Experiences with Urilte Therapy 111 which strengthened her resistance. Now, more than 
two years later, she is entirely capable of maintaining 
her household and caring for her child. These last 
two years have certainly not been easy, partly due to 
the fact that the doctors did not cooperate. They 
kept warning her that without AZT, and considering 
her general condition, she would not live longer 
than six months." Mr. B., United States 
"I am a PWA (person with AIDS) and I have been 
doing urine therapy for three months. My fatigue 
and dizziness dissipated within the first month. I 
experienced intense eye itchiness. A few drops of 
fresh urine stopped it immediately. If I forget to take 
the urine one day, the next day I will pay for it with 
fatigue. Also my lymph gland swelling is reduced by 
50%." (From: Urine-Therapy: It May Save Your Life, 
Dr. Beatrice Bartnett, Margate Fla. 1989, p.22) 
Mr. l., United States 
"I have been doing urine therapy for four months 
now. I am a PWA. My only symptom was a low T-cell 
count. My last test showed my T-cell count went up 
from 285 to 489." (From: Urine-Therapy: It May Save Your Life, 
Dr. Beatrice Bartnett, Margate Fla. 1989, p.22) 
112 A Source of Inspiration Mr. D., United States 
"I am a PWA. Three months prior to starting urine 
therapy I experienced heavy night sweats. end I 
needed 18 hours of sleep daily! Also my skin was 
very dry and ashy looking. All these symptoms got

Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi 
7.1 Introduction to the Indian Text 
Professor Athavale, an Indian Cultural History and 
Sanskrit scholar, discovered the textShivambu Kalpa 
Vidhi, an ancient document which discusses urine 
therapy. This is a manuscript from the extensive 
collection of His Holiness Shankaracharya of 
Dwad<a. As discussed in Chapter 3, this document was 
written for those who studied yoga and meditated, 
within the Eastern ~philosophy and ideology. The 
imagery used in this document is aimed at these 
people, and may seem exaggerated to the modern 
Western reader. However, this religious aspect aside, 
the text is full of valuable and practical informa­
tion and is of great interest. For the following translation I used the three al­
ready existing translations from R.V. Karlekar, 
Arthur Lincoln Pauls and from the book Auto-Urine 
Therapy (see bibliography): I relied on Arthur Lin. coin Pauls' commentary in his bookShivambu Kalpa 
for some lucid explanations of certain parts of this 
document. This ancient text saggests using old, boiled down 
urine for massage. The text states that the external 
use of urine which has not been boiled down can 
114 The Water of Auspiciousness even have harmful consequences. However, research 
and experience have demonstrated that this is not 
the case and that fresh urine as well as urine which 
is not boiled down, but which is at least four days 
old, produces excellent results during external use. This is also true for boiled down urine, as suggested 
in this text. 7.2 The Entire Document on 
. Urine Therapy from the 
Damar Tantra 
Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi 
Verses 1-4 
Oh Parvati! (The God Shiv a speaks t~ his wife Parvati.} Those who practise this method can enjoy the fruits of 
their meditation and this method. For this, certain ac­
tions have been recommended along with certain types of 
utensils. The Shivambu is to be drunk from pots made of 
gold, silver, copper, brass, iron, tin, glass, earth, bam~oo, 
bones, leather, or a bow/made of plantain leaves. The urine should be collected in any one of the above 
mentioned utensils and should be drunk. However, 
earthen pots are the best for ~se. Shiva, one of the most important gods from the Indian 
pantheon. In India, urine is often called Shivambu by urine 
therapists, which means as much as 'the water of Shiva' or 
'the water of auspiciousness'. Verse 5 
The follower of the therapy should avoid pungent, salty 
ingredients in his meals. He should not over-exert him­
self He should follow a balanced and light diet. He should 
sleep on the ground, and control the senses. Verse 6 
Such a trained man gets up in the early morning when 
three quarters of the night has passed, stands facing the 
east and passes urine. Verse 7 
The first and concluding flow of the urine is to be left out, 
and the intermediate flow of urine is to be collected. This 
is the best method. Verse 8 
The follower of the therapy should only use his own urinei 
it is called Shivambudhara. However, just as the mouth 
and the tail of the serpent contain poison, similarly the 
first and the concluding flow of urine are not wholesome. Verse 9 
Shivambu is a divine nectar!

92 A Source of Inspiration 6. 2 Some Personal Stories 
Ms. W. M. , The Netherlands 
"I discovered urine therapy in India, where I lived for 
quite some time. I regularly came across a man at 
the bank where I did my banking. One day he did 
not show up, and I heard from others that he had 
typhoid, a serious, debilitating and often fatal illness. I regularly inquired after his health, and heard that 
with each attack it was expected that he would die. Some time later, however, I saw him at the bank 
again, and he was in the pink of heaith. Only later did I hear from him how he had 
regained his health. I had told him that my own 
children were seriously ill, and he told me that he 
had cured himself of typhoid with urine therapy. My four children all had a blood disease known as 
mononucleosis. They were weak, fatigued and 
listless, and constantly ran a fever. I had my two 
youngest children urinate into a brown bottle, and 
later gave this to them as medicine, without letting 
them know that they were drinking their own urine. My nanny was a great help -she even encouraged 
me to try this method. She came from Kerala, a statE 
in the south of India where, as she told me, many 
fishermen also used urine. They often cut themselves 
on the fish, causing rather nasty infections, in which 
case urine can be used as an effective remedy. For a 
few days, I had my children fast and massaged them 
every day for a few hours with urine. At first it was 
difficult, as my husband was completely against this 
method. Some time later, I had my children repeat 
the fast for a period of ten days, and they respondec positively. Their health greatly improved: they 
regained their healthy appetites, performed much 
better at school and were more creative. Apparently, 
they were cleansed on many inner levels. Of course, I also decided to try urine therapy. Ever 
since I was eighteen, I had suffered from bronchitis, 
sinusitis, and chronic anaemia. After trying urine 
therapy, I felt much better. Furthermore, the 
laboratory technicians were astonished at the 
sudden rise in my haemoglobin percentage, which 
had increased to the accepted standard. I later stopped using urine therapy, until I 
discovered that I had a tumour in my breast which 
was likely to become malignant. Initially, nobody 
wanted to help and support me in treating the 
tumour with urine therapy. The alternatives were 
chemical medication and probably a breast 
amputation. I wanted to prevent this at all costs. At that time, I met Elly, a Dutch woman living in 
an ashram in India. She supported me, and I went 
with my family to the ashram where I regularly drank 
my own urine. I decided not to constantly check and 
see if the tumour was still there, and at one point I 
discovered that it was gone. At that time, I had only 
drunk my urine, without massaging myself with it. I also used urine to heal wounds. I treated 
somebody with third-degree burns with urine 
therapy, and practically no scars remained. I also 
successfully applied urine compresses when my 
children had scrapes or were bitten by jellyfish or 
insects. I used to be a nurse, and know quite a bit about 
medicine. I worked in the operation room, in district 
nursing and in private nursing, and have seen 
allopathic medicine fail many times, which makes it easier for me to work with urine therapy. In India, I 
worked quite a lot with natural medicine. Whenever 
I heard about a therapy that helped improve health, 
I researched it and tried it out. In this way, I have 
become acquainted with a number of different 
therapies. But urine therapy beats them all. Nothing 
is better than urine therapy. " Ms. LT. , The Netherlands 
"I am forty years old and work as a journalist. The 
first three months that I worked with urine therapy, I 
wrote a book, moved, and kept my routine going as 
a single working mother. This should give you an 
idea about the enormous amount of energy I 
possessed. At the time, there was also an influenza 
epidemic in the Netherlands and almost everybody I 
knew had been sick, myself excluded. One night it 
began, starting with a pounding, infected feeling in 
my nose and gums (a weak spot), a dry throat and 
teary eyes. I figured it was logical that I break down 
once the greatest pressure was over. I gargled and 
rinsed my gums with fresh urine and doubled the 
daily dose of urine I normally drank. A day and a half 
later, I was completely recovered, and did not even 
have a runny nose any more. The flu, or whatever it 
was, had not intensified. In the initial phase, perhaps the most remarkable 
effect of urine was on my moods. Drinking my own 
urine helped me break down barriers I never thought 
I could, and gave me a delightful feeling of inner 
freedom. It was something like, 'If I can do this, I 
can do almost anything. ' Like go to Australia, or 
whatever. That feeling of freedom has remained. " Personal Experiences with Urine Therapy 93 Mr. E. J. P. , The Netherlands 
"Around 1975 I heard and read about urine therapy 
for the first time. That was in Bombay, India. Much earlier, when I was eleven years old, I had 
heard about and seen this remarkable rituai in which 
freshly discharged urine is consumed, for example by 
animals (goats and certain apes use this method 
during illness). It certainly was interestinQ that this ancien( 
exceptional knowledge should once again enter my 
life in the form of a book by Ach. ::Jrya Jagdish B. He is 
an Indian publisher who had made it his mission in 
life to promote and popularise this excellent, 
personal therapy. In this same period, the Indian 
prime minister Morarji Desai made no bones about 
the fact that drinking urine was the secret of his 
virility and energetic attitude towards life. If I 
remember correctly, this man was well into his 
seventies and still functioned as prime minister. I 
recently heard that he i~ now in his nineties and still 
leads an active and healthy life. Although I was familiar with this fantastic therapy 
and had heard that it can help cure illnesses such as. cancer, leukaemia, gangrene and many other 
infections, I could not bring myself to directly try out 
this method. This happened approximately four years later. In 
all that time, I still had r. ot found anybody who was 
experienced in this method, and so I had to rely on 
my f~eling which told me that this knowledge was 
indeed valuable. Fate placed me in a situation in 
which I was put in an isolation cell for alleged 
dealing in hash while on vacation in Northern 
94 A Source of Inspiration Europe. In order to get released from the isolation 
cell and into the hospital, where a friend of mine 
was hospitalized, I decided to see what would 
happen if I drank my own urine. If it made me sick, 
my experiment would be a success; if not, I would 
have to try something else in order to be taken to 
the hospital. The first morning, I immediately spit out the first 
sip of urine before it even touched my tongue, and 
threw away the rest of the urine. Disgusting, I 
thought, I'll never do that again. The next morning, motivated by my desire to get 
to the hospital as quickly as possible, I tried drinking 
my own urine for a second time, once again with 
the same unpleasant result; mental blocks can 
sometimes be obstinate barriers. The third day, I finally succeeded in swallowing a 
full sip of urine. I sat quietly in order to analyse what 
might happen. The taste was not as bad as I had 
expected -a lightly salty aftertaste which 
disappeared rather quickly. Incidentally, I have drunk 
more disgusting tasting liquids prescribed by the 
doctor in order to improve my health. Approximately five minutes later, I quite urgently 
had to defecate. No sooner had I sat on the toilet 
than I defecated quickly and easily, which was 
remarkable since I had been suffering from 
constipation from the unhealthy prison food. Five 
minutes later I defecated again, and finally felt 
relieved. Since that morning, I have repeated this ritual 
every day and have not suffered from constipation. Remarkably enough, a dozen small warts which I 
had had my whole life on my hands also disappeared after eight days, as if they had suddenly 
fallen off. A few pustules arose here and there, one 
of which burst open after a ripening process of 
approximately eight days, releasing one and a half 
teaspoons of pus. Obviously, a cleansing process had 
started in my body. After a number of weeks in 
which I ritually drank my morning urine, I noticed 
that changes were slowly beginning to take plnce in 
my body. Now, after using urine for fourteen years, I 
can confirm that I am 99% less susceptible to all 
kinds of epidemics, flus, infections and other 
miseries to which I used to be very susceptible. You 
do not have to be sick in order to start urine therapy. In theory, urine therapy increases yot1r resistance to 
illness, and sometimes small irregularities come to 
the surface and can be dealt with. I hope this story sheds more light on the positive 
effects of urine therapy and wish every researcher 
success with his or her research and findings with 
this 'ultimate survival' method.
