The holy man of 
every faith have replied that the intellect is meant to work in 
co-operation with Nature. It means that God has bestowed every 
human being with intellect for the purpose of helping Nature. This 
world would become full of happiness if intellect is used for 
cumrnon welfare and trr~ service of others. If it is used for selfish 
motives only, the world would turn into a jungle. An altruistic mind 
keeps equilibrium and beautifies Nature. On the contrary, 
selfishness disturbs the equilibrium, makes Nature rough or ugly and 
brings calamity, not only to human beings but to the entire living 
creation. The intellect works in accordance with the past 
impressions of rhe mind. If the mind behaves well with 
discrimination, purification and austerity, the intellect can well be 
directed towards the welfare of humanity. On the contrary, if the 
mind is selfish, ambitious, greedy, sensual and of hot terripera ~nent, 
it will dirP.ct the intellect for the destruction of humanity. We can conclude from the above discussion that intellect helps 
Nature if it works in unison with Nature's laws. Then only, it is URIN'· THU<·\P\-1 'I~I·.RN IR. 'Il)ll•ON: 7 1 Hl fRAI) I f!UNS Of c

"First of all clean your mouth and attend to nature's Lall and 
then drink urine. By doing so for a month, not only are the diseases 
destroyed but the body gets purified and cleansed internally." After this, there is a description of results achieved by its constant 
use for twelve months to twelve years. These details are not -
necessar~ for our purposE:. Our aim is confined to physical health 
only. Elsewhere is has been mentioned in ShivambuKalpa: 
"By taking urine through nose every mornir .g, all diseases in the

seven days and in case he adopts it without taking the meal, he 
should fast for eight days and then break the fast. During the fast, he 
should drink all the urine passed 0t1t during the day, every day." Lamas in Tibet have been freely using urine. It is by the miracle 
of urine only that they have been able to keep their bodies healthy 
for hundred and fifty years or even longer. late Sir Morris Wilson 
had come to know of its use by Lamas, before his making his 
expendition to the highest peak of the Himalayas, i.e. Mt. Everest. While climbing, he had been drinking urine and was also rubbing it 
on the body. Thus he could safeguard his health against all minor 
and major ailments, bear the onslaughts of severe high-altitude 
weather and maintain his vigour and vitality. Travellers in deserts and on the seas were accustomed to the use 
of urine. Those in the deserts used to take urine when their stocks of 
food and water were exhausted and thereby they could reach their 
destination safely. Similarly, it has been described in the annals of 
sailors that passengers on ship were induced to take their own urine 
wben the ship lost its way during the storm and the stock of drinking 
water and food ran ou,. They could thus avoid death until they came 
across another ship or reached ashore. But man is after all human. He has many weaknesses . Only a few 
can overcome them. The rest behaving responsibly, spoil their 
health through minor and major bad habits or indulgence. The 
farther man goes from Nature, the more he spoils his health. Thus, 
alienation from Nature has reached its clil1lilX in this age of 
artificiality. Nothing can be worse than the present state of human 
health. The seeds~ of such consequence were sown when ~n 
abandoned the use of urine and began to use various artificial &ugs 
which gradually us,ped the palce of the original substance, i.e., 
urine. Physicians of those times lived in the lap of Nature and their 
venture some naturf induced them to carry out many experiments. 12 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
Thus they could create the system of Ayurveda. In the beginning 
herbal preparations may have been used with urine. as the main 
substance. But, in the course· of time, it appears that urine was 
discarded and water, honey, ghee, or milk took its place. At last, the 
place of urine was taken up purely by herbal preparations. The only 
benefit gained from this was that at last, direct contact with Nature 
was still maintained. Urine as a valuable gift of nature was, however, 
generally forgotten. Allopathy is so advanced today and it has 
dominated the society to such an extent that Ayurveda, if associated 
with it, would be forgotten. ~ut fortunately, some forgotten valuable 
cures are still found in use among the village people. The village 
provei"b, "This person would ~t urinate on even an injured finger", 
is still prevalent in the rural society. It implies that urine has a strong 
curative effect on any wou11d. I have observed myself that itinerant 
ironsmiths who live on village borders in mobile hutments and do 
the manual labour, make their bullocks drink their auto-urine and 
such bullocks become very robust and have full stamina. Suer 
instances show that urine has high power of nutrition, too. The question naturally arises as to why urine, so valuable fc•· 
health, has been given up in the present age. The only answer to th , 
is that our views regarding the values of life have altered. We have 
1)10ved away from Nature and have forgotten the use of natural 
means. It is a sign of the socalled progressive scientific age! Still, 
however, there are a number of men who like to be benefited by this 
gift of nature. In India, as well as in foreign lands, there are a number 
of persons who, though quite ignorant of the modern cultural 
developments, keep themselves hail and hearty by using such gifts of 
Nature. Their ignorance has proved a boon to them as the reside 
away from the poisonous effects of modernism. There are many 
ascetics, saints, mystics, monks and other seekers of truth, in India 
and elsewhere who have deep faith in such natural means of health. The system of urine therapy works quite in harmony with Nature 
and is almost flawless. Moreover, it does not hurt the religious 
sentiments of any ~rson as it encourages one to lead a restrained THE TRADITIONS OF URINE THERAPY-WESTERN TRADITION: B

patient under the pretext of its examination, mixed it with medicine 
in proper proportion, and obtained the desired effect. The patients 
were cured rapidly. In this way, he cured thousands of patients, 
suffering from different diseases and earned good fame. Nobody 
knew this method of treatment except his assistant! In the beginning of the nineteenth century a wonderful book was 
published in England, its title being One Thousand Notable 
Remedies. Some of the prescriptions found in it are given below : 
1. The best and surest medicine for curing all the internal as well 
as the extenral ailments is one's own urine. One should drink 
one's own urine continuously for nine days in the morning. It 
cures leprosy and makes the body healthy. 2. Similarly, the application of urine cures dropsy and jaundice. 3. An ear douche with warm urine, removes deafness and many 
other troubles of the ear. 4. An eye-wash with urine removes pain, inflammation and many 
other diseases of the eye; the vision becomes clear and sharp. 5. Hands washed with urine and massaged with it are cured of 
paralysis, worms, itching and become flexible at the joints. 6. A fresh wound is healed when washed with urine. 7. Itching and burning sensations are cured by the massage of 
urine. B. Piles and other troubles subside if anus is washed with urine 
several times. A book, Soloman's English Physician, was pub! ished in 1695. It 
gives wonderful facts about urine. Some of them are as follows: 
"The urine of human being and some of the animals is useful in 
many ways. The urine is the part of blood in the form of serum. Blood reaches the kidneys through veins. Its watery portion is 
separated there and is converted into urine through the process of 
fermentation. The urine of man and woman is warm and non-acidic THE TRADITIO NS OF URINE THERAPY-W ESTERN TRADITION : 15 
It melts the foreign matter accumula ted in the nervous system and 
works as an antiseptic, protecting the body from putrefactio n and 
degeneration . Taken internally, it removes the trouble of liver, 
spleen, and diseases of gall-bladder, dropsy, jaundice, plague, 
irregularities of menstruation a• ,J all types of poisonous fevers. "The skin becomes soft and clean if rubbed with fresh and 
lukewarm urine. Wounds inflicted by poisonous weapons are 
healed. All the acute and chronic deseases of the skin are cured. The 
, temperatu re due to fever goes down by rubbing urine on the whole 
-body. It is the best cure for tremor, fits and paralysis. It removes-the 
pains of spleen when applied or rubbed on the stomach. "Urine contains some alkalies which are volatile and are highly 
beneficial. They absorb acidity and root out a big number of 
ailments. They also cure the di;;orders in the intestine, kidneys and 
uterus. The urine is invaluable and the best cure for facial swelling, 
giddiness, nervous tension or breakdown, weakness, headache, 
paralysis, lameness, deafness, partial unconsciousness or 
insensitivity, cold, diseases of the head, brain, senses and joints: It 
also cures leucorrhoea and other diseases of the uterus. Unne 
removes the obstruction in kidneys and uterus, breaks the 
kidney-stone and throws it out. It is a special cure for ne_phritis, 
urinary obstructions and all other diseases connected w1th the 
urinary system." Urine therapy was prevalent in France also. In the beginning of 
the eighteenth century, the dentists of Paris used to apply it for 
curing dental troubles. Thus urine therapy was known in the past but 
was forgotten during the middle ages. But our ignorance about the 
utility of urine is being removed gradually. In this age of modern 
science also, a good number of experienced and reputed doctors, 
have begun to believe that urine has a wonderful po:'er .of 
maintaining physical health. Jean Rostand, the wellknown b1olog1st 
has found out glands in the human body and has proved that their 
secretions called hormones are wonderful nutrients for the organism. Since then, physicians have begun to appreciate the effecacy of 16 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
urine. A part of the hormone secretions is filtered in the kindneys 
and comes out along with urine. If applied again internally or 
externally, it can cure many ailments. Thus the latest discovery of 
biology proves that urine is not a useless fluid but a valuable 
substance. It is a wonderful tonic. The English physician Alis Barker 
holds that our body prepares a substance more powerful than any of 
the medicines and it contains all the elements which dest~oy the 
poisonous germs of the body. this substance is our own urine. Doctor T. Wilson Dichmann, P.H.C., M.D., a well-known physician 
of England writes in a journal, "The composition of urine varies with 
every patient according to his bodily condition. Urine is the best 
remedy to cure all the diseases except the structural breakdown or 
deformity. The number of medicines exceeds three thousand. Urine 
saves the doctor from the likely mistake in the selection of 
appropriate medicine. As a matter of fact that which cannot be cured 
by inner strength fails to be cured by the outer one. Ciril Scott in his book, Doctor, Diseases and Health has given a 
beautiful description of the Urine Therapy practised by a J.P., late 
W.H. Buxtor of Harrogate city, Leads, (England) in the following 
words: 
"Mr Buxtor used to drink his urine regularly. He had also written 
a number of articles on the uses of urine. He lived a long life, got rid 
of his pernicious cancer by applying urine packs and by drinking it. He cured his other diseases also by this simple treatment. He had a 
strong belief that urine is the best germicide in the world. He used to 
drink three tumblers full of urine as preventive against any future 
ailment. He held that drinking of urine is not only harmless but is 
positively useful. He used to put urine drops in his eyes to safeguard 
vision. He has prescribed urine treatment for wounds, swellings and 
eruptions and held it as a unique laxative." Nowadays urine is being utilised in the preparation of cosmetics 
also. The chemists of England have prepared the best types of 
bathing soaps and quality creams from it. It means that the THE FUNDAMENTALS OF URINE THERAPY: 17 
application of human urine had already been in vogue of which we 
were unaware. It is just possible that in course of time the physicians 
would utilise urine secretly in the treatment of their patients and 
2arn money as well farne thereby ! CHAPTER VI 
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF URINE Tt-~ERAPY 
It has been stated in tile foregoing chapters that the application of 
auto-urine as the potential remedy of all ailments was in vogue in 
the past and ·is being practised even now. Generally, the views, 
sayings, methods and practices of the common people exhibit great 
wisdom. Such wisdom is evident from the common popular sayings 
also; they also indicate that the urine treatment was prevalent 
among common people. "Having drunk urine, he is intiringly after 
him!" or "This fellow is not ready even to urinate on an injured 
finger!" The former saying points at the energy obtained by taking 
urine and the latter its healing capacity to heal a cut. The village 
people of India are accustomed to cut jokes in their marriage songs. The women from the bride's side cut jokes with the bridegroom, 
"Your mother has nursed you so far only on urine. Henceforth you 
should take milk and butter also for your nourishment." When a 
baby suffers from diarrhoea or dysentery, the grandmother advises 
the mother of the baby, "The baby is suffering from diarrhoea cr 
dysentery, so give him his urine to drink. Do not wait for any other 
medicine -" 
"All these ~ayings and practices contain wisdom. They are full of 
commor, ::cnse. It is the gift of past experiences and is preserved in 
the tradition coming down from generation to generation. The 
so-called civilized people at large, but they well display common 
sense and wisdom in every walk of life. They are unable to 
"Jr.der:tand the high-sounding phraseology and the intricacies of 18 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
religion or philosophy but can display practical Knowledge in their 
speech. They may not know the scholarly definition of universal 
love but they express the essence of love in the folk-sayings 
like--"Do not make any difference between yourself and others," 
"Live like brothers," "Do not behave unto other as you do not like 
them to behave unto you", "Return evil with good". These sayings 
represent their character and wisdom. These current sayings well 
express the fundamental principles of universal love or unity of all 
souls. Unity of souls is the fundamental principle of universal love, 
and in well expressed in these simple and plain language. Similarly 
the fundamental principle of urine therapy also is well expressed in 
the common quotes given above. What is the fundamental principle? Let us try to understand it. The unviverse is composed of the five elements: viz. the earth, 
water, fire, air and sky. Human body also is composed of the same 
five elements. Every organism is constitued of all the five elements 
in appropriate proportions. A person falls ill when the balance of the 
elements is disturbed through his or her own faults. In order to 
restore health, the balance must be restored. This function can be 
performed easily by auto-urine only. The proper maintenance of 
human organism rests on urine just as the earth's balance rests on 
the ocean. Urine occupies the same place in the maintenance of 
human organism as that of ocean in relation to earth. As water can 
assimilate the rest of the elements so can urine do with respect to all 
elements constituting the body. Urine is, therefore, a natural gift to 
all the liveing beings to cure their ailments.The same principle 
applies to the human beings as well. Thus I do not hold urine as an 
ordinary medicine but consider it to be the nectar of life. My view 
may appear rather starnge to many people but it is not so strange 
as it may appear. It has been recognised now that penicillin contains 
a number of ingredien ts injurious to human body. Even then the 
scientists hold it as a panacea ! I would request scientific-minded 
people to make an experiment with this real nectar of life in the 
form of urine. I assure them that their efforts will not be in vain as THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF URINE: 19 
the application of urine is in no case harmful while its success is 
certain if properly used. Some sympathetic physicians hold that urine could serve ~ gr:at

since the medical profession has fallen into the hands of t~e

of the professionals if we wish it to be saved from them. CHAPTER VII 
THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF URINE 
n day I was going in a car with two friends. A discussion 
vne · h One of the started about my present activities about unne t er~py._ . d f 
friends said, "Raojibhai, we should mak~ a a sCientific stu y o

exam-ination? 't is itself a science. Its benefits are quit~ evident. I was surprised at this decisive answer. One who _claims_ tha~ a 
subject in itself is s::ientific may not know v.'hat SCI·~~ce ISd T e 
above reply expressed the opinion of a responsl, ,f' an a 20 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
thoughtful man and it indicated his firm faith in urine therapy. I was 
not only encouraged with that reply but at the same time, it set me 
a thinking about the urin therapy and its profound sigr.ificances. I 
have become a student agai" in this subject after seventy-two years 
of age. I do not possess any co'nsiderable literature on the subject. Only i few references here and there have inspired me to undertake 
this work. I believe that a great deal of material can be found on it in 
the old literature of Ayurveda. but the students of A~·urveda also are 
blindly following. the modern medical science or they have lost the 
courage to challenge the so-called modern scientific medicine. Truth 
has been obscured by the dark curtain of such euphemism. Urine · 
which is highly useful anct quite pure is denounced as dirty and 
poisonous by the so-called scientists as they wish to grind their 
own stone. Let them do as they like. I an anxious even at the risk Qf 
my life to propagate what can be proved a boon to humanity. My 
propagation of urine therapy will by quite reasonable and will have 
a scientific approach. While engaged in !luch a propaganda , I have received a lette: 
from Mr. Jhaveri, a resident of Rander (Surat). He is eighty years old. He has studied the theory of the five e~ements in detail and has 
written in English a big voulume and a number of articles on this 
subject. After coming to know of my present activities, he wrote to 
me affection<He ly -"While deliberating on five elements 1 have 
come to the conclusion that the earth cannot exist without the sea. After going through your book on urine therapy, I have realized a 
new fact which I did not recognize til now and it is this: Urine is the 
support of every living organism, whether human or sub-human, just 
as the ocean is the support of the earth. The earth cannot exist 
without urine. The urine therapy is a science in itself; it is 
self-evident." A fact based on right self-experience should be called 
knowledge at first hand. But when the same is testified by many it 
can be called .S(i~nce . It is .obvious that urine occupies the same 
place in tht human body as does ocean in relation to earth. The THE SCIENTlFIC VIEW OF URINE : 21 
element of water is so powerful that it can absorb the other fou. This is why it supports every small and big part of the ?ody. The 
entire organism is maintained by this element ~f :'ater. Th l~ element 
is not lifeless but is full of life. This is why It IS present In all ~h~ 
cells of the body and possesses the power to protect and n_ouns f 
them. As a matter of fact, nature has allotted it the function o 
protecting the body from diseases. But urin~ is far more than mere 
water and so it acts as the healer of the organism. In spite of this very apparent truth about ur~ne, the old prejudice 
about it cannot be removed easily. The votanse _of allopathy hold 
that urine is a waste matter of the body and contams toxiC elements 
. . . s to the body Its use is therefore harmful. Some naturopaths lllJUriOU . • · h' t 
also in this country hold the same view. They, In t IS respec, 
endorse the views of the allopaths. I only ask all of them whether 
they have investigated its properties .scientifically ? On .the contr~ry 
the fact is that many a doctor and Valdya are already usmg the unne 
of certain animals for treating several diseases. I do not want to discuss here whether the ap~ lic~tion of ur~ne is 
scientific or not. If there is no objection in dn nkmg th~ .u~me of 
cow, goat, camel and donkey, there is no reason for prohibiting the 
intake of auto-urine. All the professiona l doctors generally advance 
the self-same reply that urine is a waste substance ~f the human 
body. This is absurd. The human organism does not. differ from that 
of animals like the cow, goat etc. Shri Bapalal Valdya, a .learne? and experienced Vaidya of Gujarat, has proved _a~ the basiS of .his 
own experience that auto-urine is far more benefiCial t~an t~e ur~ne 
of a cow, as cows in India are given dirty food,. are kept In dirty 
places and their is collected in dirty post or ut:nslis. Those "':'ho do 
not know anything about the properties of unne, have no nght to 
denounce urine as a poison or as a waste product of the body. Can 
they be called scientists ? . On scientific investigation, it has been proved that urine cantams 
a number of constituents that are useful and nourishing. D~ctor 
Fehren states in his world-famous book, lntrouction to Biochemtstry, 22 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
that human urine contains nineteen ingredients in different 
proportions. They will be discussed in details in the next chapter. According to dieticians and biochemists, all these ingredients are 
extremely useful to the health and nourishment of the body. One of 
them is urea which as the highest percentage, i.e. the quantity of 
urea is 1459 milligrams in 3400 milligrams of urine. It is highly 
nourishing to the human body. It may be admitted for a while that the chemical urea when 
mixed with a medicine can make up its deficiency in the body. But 
it cannot make up all the deficiencies of other alkalies. But alomst 
all of them are present in urine. So is it not advisable to utilize 
urine and to get full benefit of all the alkalies contained therein ? My 
purpose for this discussion is to establish the fact that the urine is in 
no way harmful even according to the medical science. Auto-urine 
is a living solution and contains the substances which build, 
nourish and enliven the flesh, blood and the tissues of the body. Ayurveda describes urine as anti-poison and a tonic. there is no 
laboratory in the entire world can prepare a pure anti-poisonous 
and harmless solution like urine. It can be prepared in a laboratory 
like the living organism only. Another characteristic of urine is that 
it is a germicide and harmless. The germicides such as 
tincture-benzoin, acids, etc. are not harmless internally. But urine is 
quite free from all such dangers. Any disease of the body pulls down health and pushes out 
health-preseNing elements of the body through urine. So the urine of 
a diseased person contains this health-preserving ingredients of 
which urea is very important. It also contains ingredients which 
cause the disease. By drinking his urine, the patient gets both of 
these. The health-preserving elements help him to regain his health 
and the others act as anti-bodies. As in Homoeopathy, the other 
elements fight the disease as the like kills the like. Recently, in 
Germany, doctors prepare vaccines from urine and even from the 
excreta of human beings. If this allopathic practice is scientific, 
urine therapy must be more so. THE ANALYSIS OF URINE : 23 
It is necessary to remind here that the patients should be advised 
to have auto-urine only as far as drinking is concerned. The urine of 
other person, however healthy he or she may be, would ~r~ve 
harmful. We can say, in conclusion, that auto-urine of every ltvtng 
being, man or animal, is a complete scientific medicine. CHAPTER VII I 
THE ANALYSIS OF URINE 
So far, 1 have written in favour of urine. Naturally, I cannot hope 
that everybody will accept my views. I have not studied Biology, 
Anatomy, Chemistry or any other subject related to medical science. 1 know that the researches of biologists and anatomists have not yet 
reached any final conclusions. The scientists generally m_ake_ a 
discovery and hold that it is final. After some time, a new sCtenttst 
comes forward with a new discovery which not only obscures the 
former but throws it into oblivion; and the new discovery seems to 
be regarded as complete and final ! In every branch of science 
whether Chemistry, Physics or Biology, the same routine continues. The medicine which was regarded yesterday as one of the best and 
most useful is declared today as useless and worthless. But 
auto-urine is free from such a fate. Its place is permanent and 
impregnable. Auto-urine is a wonderful and complete gift of God. It 
is priceless and a sure remedy for almost all diseases. In my experience, I have found auto-urine full of merits only, 
without a single demerit. How can I point out its demerits when 
there is none? But the chemists have found out both merits as well 
as demerits therein, though they are not unanimous on this point. Each one of them is blowing his own trumpet. They do contribute 
to the world of knowledge by their new discoveries and inventions 
and they do render service to humanity for which they are amply 
rewarded . A new discovery displaces an old one. But truth never 24 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
loses its importance and never becomes old. Love never becomes 
old. Faith can never be old. The soul is never old because it is 
timeless, indescribable and inapprehensible. These are truths to be 
realized within and realization is impossible without faith. It is 
wrong to censure faith by naming it as ignorance or blind belief. Faith is after all an inner awareness of reality, it cannot be c;~nalysed 
or grasped with inteller:t. My faith and interest in the merits of urine .... 
are not blind. They are based on logic as well as on experience. They are quite open to intellectual inquiry. The demerits attributed 
to urine are not its own. They are super-imposed by its wrong and 
unsystematic use. , Now we should try to knwo the ingredients of urine as found out 
by scientific methods. Dr. Fehren in his Introduction to Biochemistry 
gives his views on urine. First of all he discussess the number and 
quantity of the elements contained in the urine of a healthy person. He writes that a hundred c. c. or four ounces of human urine contains 
the following elements in proporations shown against them: 
Ingredient Milligrams 
1. Urea (Nitrogen) 682.00 
2. Urea 1459.00 
3. Creatinin (N) 36.00 
4. Uric Acid (N) 12.30 
5. Amino (N) 9.70 
6. Ammonia (N) 5].00 
7. Uric Acid 36.90 _, 
8. Sodium 212.00 
9. Potassium 137.00 
10. Creatinin 97.20 THE ANALYSIS OF URINE : 25 
· Ingredient Milligrams 
11 . Calcium 19.50 
12. Magnesium 11.30 
13. Chloride 314.00 
14. Total Sulphate 91.00 
15. Inorganic Sulphate 83.00 
16. Inorganic Phosphate 127.00 
17. P.H. 6.40 
18. Total acidity as c.c. ------------
19. N/1 0 Acid 27.80 
The above anayisis shows that all the alkalies found in urine are 
highly useful to the human organism . It may be pointed out here 
that the quantity of alkalies is not always the same even in the urine 
of a healthy person. It varies from time to time. Different types of 
dfets positively affect these quantities. armstrong, the author of The 
Water of Life, has written on the basis of his own experience that 
sugar in urine does not necessarily always indicate diabetes. Once 
he himself took sweets in his diet along with sweet drinks. After 
fourteen hours his urine was full of sugar, and doctors declared that 
he was suffering from diabetes, but actually he did not. This mistake 
is usually found among medical practitioners. So we can say that a 
person with sugar in his urine cannot always be called a patient of 
diabetes. The author wants to point out from his experiment that the 
constituents of urine vary according to the diet. A person in the habit 
of taking sugar in the form of sweets and drinks is found with an 
increased quantity of sugar in his urine and he may get diabetes. But 
a number of patients get sugar absorbed in their blood without any 
trace of it in his urine. The change brought in the urine through 
improper diet sometimes puts even expert physicians in a quandary. My own experience shows that the seasonal changes also affect 
urine and its constituents. 26 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
Modern doctors hold that all the substances coming out with 
urine are useless and injurious to health. The above analysis based 
on a chemical examination of urine clearly shows their ignorance. On the contrary, all its ingredients are useful otherwise some 
dodors as mentioned before, would not have mixed it with 
medicine and prescribed it for internal use. Minerals chemically 
refined, are mixed with medicine and are prescribed for different 
diseases. Nature has already equipped human body with a good 
number of useful substances. To denounce them as harmful· is not 
wise. In other words, it can be said that these medical practitioners 
under the cover of their certificates can declare anything as good or 
bad according to their convenience. They can even dare to make a 
right or a worng statement and mislead the public as they like. They 
cannot do so in the case of urine successful ly for long. It has been 
already proved that it possesses such properties as would increase 
and purify the blood as well as build, enliven and strengthen tissues 
rendered lifeless by disease. Urine is generally described as having one demerit, i.e., its 
unpleasant odour. Its taste also is considered so bad that the very 
idea of drinking it creates nauses. People indicate their disgust 
against it by various facial expressions ! This difficulty is put 
forward by those only who have never made an attempt to drink it. My own experince says that some medicines are far more distasteful 
and have much more foul smell. I used to shudder while taking 
them. Vitamin is a. digestive medicine and I used to take it after 
meals. It was abnormally distasteful and had a very foul odour 
and so even the person pouring it into a tumbler felt a vomiting 
sensation ! My condition while actually drinking it could well be 
imagined ! Nevertheless I took it regularly twice a day and became 
accustomed to the dosage. The taste of urine is not so bad. Any 
person in the habit of taking chemical salts will not feel a distaste 
for it. The urine of a health person appears and tastes like rain water. It is a bit saltish. In summer, the quantity of urine is reduced. It is 
condensed and becomes thick reddish-yellow and a little THE ANALYSIS OF URINE : 27 
unpalatable. It is saltish, sour and bitter and we feel reluctant to 
take it. But we take daily a number of medicines which have a far 
more foul smell and are quite unpalatable. After all, likes and 
dislikes for particular taste are subjective in natures and depend 
upon the habits of our tongue. We are almost always misled by this 
tiny organ and invite physical ruin. It is necessary to be free from 
the slavery to tongue at least for health. Urine is the substance 
which can prove highly useful to the body in case one does not 
lose command over tongue for a moment. It is a folly to overlook 
the benefits of such a substance and follow blindly the likes and 
dislikes of the palate. The smell of urine can also be defended by 
the same argument. The law applicable to tongue holds good in the 
case of the nose also. A Chinese does not feel the smell of urine or 
stools, because he has been accustom ed to the through their daily 
uses in agriculture. I myself am unable to distinguish the smell of 
roses but I can appreciate that of Champa and Mogra. How 
pleasant is the smell of the melted ghee but a Zulu woman of South 
Africa feels nauseated by it. She draws back and twists her nose 
saying, "Naugagabi -it gvies a bad smell". But the same woman likes 
to put on clothes or lether skirts soaked in castor oil day and night, 
which mixed with perspiration smells so bad that nobody can even 
stand beside her. It means that there is nothing like an absolute good 
or bad smell in itself. On the contrary they are only relative. Similarly pleasantness and unpi;;asantness of smell is associated 
with the habit of the sense of smell and it can be so trained that 
wrong dislikes can well be given up for the sake of health. If urine is a natural gift for health, why does not the child possess 
an instinct to take it from the very birth ? It can be said that all other 
living beings do possess that instinct from the very birth and use it 
whenever necessary. The animals have another instinct also. They 
do not take their food when ill. They do not touch ariy food as long 
as sickness continues and take it only when absolutely free from it. Kind nature has provided human being with the power of discretion. But alsa ! he does not preoperly use it. He is sometimes misguided 28 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
by wrong logic and sensual mind. Consequently man is moving 
away from natt:re. Any drunkard usually hesitates to take wine in his 
first attempt. He feels natural reluctance and it arises from natural 
instinct. But the instinctive reluctance is gradually suppressed and 
ultimately he becomes a habitual drunkard. Similar might have been 
his habit of taking herbs. In the beginning they might have 
a2peared to him tastEful and palatable. At the same time he found 
them convenient in utilising them and found them beneficial too. But in the course of time he began to create a science out of their 
use, a11d he totally neglected to uti I ise the natural gift, I.e. urine as a 
medicine, because he was too much habituated with use of herbs. Moreover, the same argument which is advanced by the doctors 
against the uses of urine and in favour of allopathy was adopted by 
them in favour of herbs. We know now how plausible is the argument of modern medical 
practitioners about urine. If man moves away from nature as he is 
misled by the glamour of mod2rn medicine, he must suffer the 
consequences. He has to taste the bitter furits inasmuch as he 
behaves in disregard of narturalla'-"(s . Armstrong and myself have experienced that urine taken 
internally passes through all d:gestive organs and is well fihered 
there through. With every f1.uation, its purity incerses on each 
repe~ted intake of urine. Eve. ybody can have this experience by 
keepmg one day's fast on uri .. 2 and water. Urine then purifies the 
body and removes foreign accL!mulated matter. It renews the glands 
and nerves rendered I ifeless by disease. As a matter of fact, urine 
not only sets in order the lungs, gall-bladder, stomach, brain, heart~ 
etc., but removes many incurable diseases also. In short, we can 
obtain best results by keeping a fast on urine and water. CHAPTER IX 
A SURE CURE OF ALL DISEASES 
I have repeatedly stated in this book that urine i-s not a medicine 
for any particular disease. It is a gift of nature to gtt rid of many 
physical ills. People ask how can there be "One· and the same 
medicine for one and all diseases?" Disease~ differ from one another 
in their causes .and symptoms. The dtsease.s, caused: by the 
aggravation of vata (gas), pitta (bile) and kapha (pte~i, are cured by 
different medicines. Can urine have the ingredints to· cure all the 
three ? If urine is beneficial in one case, it cannot b@ so in another 
and opposite case. Such a question from ·a laymarh. tan well be 
excused as they have no medical knowledge. iut wflen it is raised 
by medical practitioners ~ith high de8rees a~ wsftions,.it can be 
concluded that they are doing so with some mala fide intention or 
a selfish motive of discouraging the use of urine. They have not at all 
cared to study the principles underlying the urine therapy. It is true th<.t there cannot be the same med'icine icir atl diseases. The urine of cow does cure may diseases and V~idyas use it. Similarly the system of Ayurveda prescribes the tJrine o( eight or 
nine animals for curing many diseases. It may be' used with-benefit. Such a practice cannot ~ accepted as scientifk. . Tnt! urir,e of an 
animal is useful to itself only. Th~ use of auto-urine ooty, t:n:!refore, 
is scientific. However healthy an cui:mal may be, it cannot be said 
with surety that its urine will be positively beneficial to others. shri 
Bapalal Vaidya, while writing about his own exper~nces ·(See part 
IV of the book) states that he cured a wound on the neck of his mare 
by the ointment of ashes and human urin~. The urine of cow, camel and goat may cure some of the 
diseases of the human body. As the diet of the human beings and 
the domestic animals is more or less similar as it is vegetarian, their 
urine contains similar properties. Consequenly, their urine is useful 
i.• certain conditions . I am sure, if Shri Bapalalbhai had used the 
t;J. T.-5 29 i I I 
~ 
~ i i 30 : AUTO~URINE THERAPY 
urine of the mare herself in the above case, healing would have 
been faster. But it must not have been possible to obtain its own 
urine instantly. Consequently, he used whatever urine was available. A number of Vaidyas do under statnd the utility of human urine but 
they dare not overcome the nausea against it prevalent in society. They hesitate to use 1t openly. Many of them are not aware that this 
utility is confined to ::t.;to-urine only. But how can the utiltity of auto­
urine in the case o( animals be ascertained ? The fact could be 
· known only if the anim~ls can describe their experience themselves! The poor dumb anin,als when sick, abjure food and cure themselves 
by licking their own urine. I have said nowhere that urine of animals 
of human beings is useful to others. It is the fundamental principle of 
urine therapy that only the patient's own urine, i.e., auto-urine must 
be used. The urine of another person, however healthy he or she 
may be, is forbidden. It should not be given at least for drinking. The same rule applies in the case of animals also. After this clarfication, it must be perfectly clear that urine in 
general is not a medicine for all diseases; but auto-urine alone is so 
useful. It is a sure cure for all types of illness. The urine of very 
person contains such properties as are useful to himself only and to 
none else. On ihe contrary, it may prove harmful to others. There is 
every danger of infection and the patient may catch a di~ease from 
the other person through his urine. Consequently, only auto-urine is 
useful to a patient, and the use of the same is scientific. After the above discussion, can a question be raised whether 
urine can be held as the only medicine for many diseases ? As a 
niatter of fact, the property of urine vary with every individual. So 
there arc as many medicines as the number of living being as. auto-urine differs from person to person. Every being has got his cure 
ready within him in the form of urine. This cure and its method of 
application have long been forgotten. We have to revive it by new 
experiments on patients. The Vaidyas and doctors who regard 
restoration of the health of the patient as their sublime duty, can 
undertake it and serve humanity thereby. THE METHOD OF URINE THERAPY : 31

treatment should be adopted out of embarrassment. The eruptions 
may be r'ubbed with some pressure. When urine penetrates into the 
body through rubbing, minor ailments disappear automatically. Ringworm, itch, eczema and other skin disases disappear within a 
fortnight. An important instruction about rubbing is that no bath 
should be taken within two hours of the rubbing and no soap should 
be applied during the bath. In case of serious and chronic diseases, 
the body is generally poisoned by doses of strong medicines or 
injections and so a fast on urine and water is essential. The patient 
according to his condition and constitution may use cold or 
lukewarm water for bath. Armstrong lays great emphasis on rubbing of urine. One may 
keep as many fasts on water and urine as he likes but without 
rubbing one cannot have the desired result. Rubbing together any 
two things generate heat. The heat produced by rubbing of urine 
opens the pores of the body. If rubbing with water also generates 
heat and opens the pores, what is the use of rubbing with urine ? The answer is clear. In a fast on urine, the heart and kindney have 
to work abnormally; naturally the palpitations of heart increases. Armstrong felt that the palpitation in his first fast, undertaken 
without rubbing, was almost doubled. The heart has to do more 
work in order to assimilate urine. Massaging with ruine increases the 
rate of blood circulation and eases the palpitation of the heart. While thinking on this subject, Armstrong struck upon the 
Command in the Bible, "Wash the face and head, when thou 
observest fast." (New Testament, Vl-11) He interpreted this 
exhortation to mean rubbing the head, face and neck with urine ! Though his interpretation is far-fetched, yet it proved to be true 
inactual practice. After rubbing urine on the head, face, neck and 
the entire body, the criculation of blood increased and the 
palpitation of the heart went down. Not only this but he felt himself 
strong enough to continue the daily routine of rubbing urine even 
during the later days of his long fast. lri. addition, his skin got 
sufficent nourishment and became healthy, soft and birght. 34 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
(2) ~he Method of Drinking: We generally abhor urine. People 
have go~ a strong prejudice against its taste and odour. It is 
worth~htle to quote here a couplet of poet Pritam, "The courageous _ 
who d1ve d~ep .into the sea may get pearls and others standing 
ashore a_nd ID?ktng on get nothing." Only a person who takes 
~ourage m.to h1s hands, gets rid of the disgust of urine and can drink 
1t, can d~nve benefit, th~re is no. simpler, cheaper and surer remedy 
fa~ a~l d1se_ases then unne. It IS advisable to get accustomed to 
dnn.kln~ u~tne during the days of rubbing as shown above. In the 
begmntng 1t should be rubbed on teeth and used for gargling. It will 
accrue other benefits too; loose teeth will be strong agian. After a 
few days of cleaning mouth, one should close his eyes and drink 
ab.out four ounces of urine. There will be no difficulty in the seconds 
dr~nk. It should be borne in mind that one should drink one's own 
unne only, how~ver bad ·in colour, taste and smell it may be. One 
should ~o~ hes1tate at the very sight of its appearance and strange 
colour; 1t IS useful in its natural form. This fact would become more 
clear as he reads further the subsequent chapters of this book. In some ~xce~tional cases, a patient has to be given extra urine 
also. If a pat1ent IS unconcious or is suffering from a snake bite or is 
n~t in a position to take auto-urine, he has to be given to drink the 
un~e of any healthy person. For instance, Armstrong met with a 
pat1ent who could not pass urine. l.n that case he gave the patient 
his own urine to drink. Thus the latter was enabled to pass urine. (3~ The Method of Fasting: A fast on urine is essential in the case 
of senous and chronic diseases. Armstrong used to give his treatment 
by ?eginning ':ith a long fast. The duration of the fast may be 
deoded accor~mg to the condition of the patient. During the fast, 
one ~hou ld ?nnk eve_ry drop of urine. If a person takes only the 
day-t1me unne, he will have to increase the duration of the fast to 
·make up the_ deficiency_. In such a case, urine passed duri~g night 
can b~ used for rubbig. Water also can be taken during the fast

stopped for a while and on restoration of normal condition, the 
remaining urine should be taken at once. Rubbing with urine should 
not be missed during the fast because there would be no desired 
result without rubbing. During the fast on urine, the palpitation of heart and beating of 
the pulse go up. One need not lose one's heart because of this. In 
the course of time, the movements of heart and pulse, would be 
automatically normal. If rubbing is continued regularly and 
vigorously, the palpitation will not increase too much and the 
patient will not feel any weakness. As the alkalies contained in food 
exist in their pure form in urine and provide sufficient nourishment 
to the patient, he cannot feel any weakness due to hunger. He gets 
nourishment in proportion to the urine taken in. The urine washes out accumulated waste matter, layers of 
harmful toxins, the injurious substance sticking in the intestines, 
mucus deposited in the chest, lungs and stomach and other foreign 
deposits. They come out by way of vomiting, or by loose motions. There is nothing to be alarmed at these reactions. One should think 
that the poisons deposited in the body are thus coming out and the 
body is becoming more and more clean. All such _actions and 
reactions should be viewed with a cool mind. Nature should be 
allowed to do her work. One should not lose heart and resort to 
medicines, internal or external. No medicine should be taken to 
suppress or remove the reaction. In case, confidence is lost in this 
method, other treatment should not be taken l:mless this treatment is 
already discontinued. During the urine treatment, particular caution 
is necessary for at least a week after breaking the fast than even 
during the fast. Control on diet and habits is necessary for a number 
of days even after the fast. Ordinarily, the fast should be broken with 
a sip of boiled mung water or juice of orange or sweet lemon. Sour 
lemon should not be taken. In its place boiled water of mung is 
better. juice may be prepared from dates and black grapes biJt not 
for diabetic patients. In the evening about five-seven dates or about 
two ounces of grapes (seedless) may be soaked in half a pint of 36 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
water. On the following morning they may be crushed and squeezed 
properly. This juice should be filtered. through a clean cloth before 
giving to the patient. At noon, the patient may be given fruit juice 
and in the evening juicy fruits like papaw, chiku, etc. The next day, 
the same men'u may be followed at noon and in the evening in 
increased quaAtity. On the third day, he may be given the juice of 
orange or sweet lemon in the morning, lentil soup mixed with a 
pinch of salt at noon and cow's milk in the evening. Thus the diet 
can be increased according to the appetite and the digestion of the 
patient. The mouth may have a mild swelling when salt is taken after 
a gap of ten days or ~o. There is nothing to be anxious about it as it 
would subside by itself. (4) The Method of Urine Pads : In the case of big boils, the 
wound caused by a weapon, any inflammation, burn, swelling by 
cancer or other eruptions, or the inflammation of the eyes, a pad of 
fourfolq doth soaked in urine should be placed on the affected part. The pad should be kept wet by pouring urine on it at some intervals 
and this may be contir.ued for hours according to necessity. This can 
be applied during fast also. In this process the antibodies of urine 
would enter into the body and would destroy the disease from 
within and witOOut. lf auto-urine is insufficient, urine of a healthy 
man can be u~d for external application. But in no case urine oftlie 
opposite sex qe used, i.e. a male patient should be given the urir,c of 
a healthy male only while femal patient that of a health)' female 
only. ·

        The holy man of 
every faith have replied that the intellect is meant to work in 
co-operation with Nature. It means that God has bestowed every 
human being with intellect for the purpose of helping Nature. This 
world would become full of happiness if intellect is used for 
cumrnon welfare and trr~ service of others. If it is used for selfish 
motives only, the world would turn into a jungle. An altruistic mind 
keeps equilibrium and beautifies Nature. On the contrary, 
selfishness disturbs the equilibrium, makes Nature rough or ugly and 
brings calamity, not only to human beings but to the entire living 
creation. The intellect works in accordance with the past 
impressions of rhe mind. If the mind behaves well with 
discrimination, purification and austerity, the intellect can well be 
directed towards the welfare of humanity. On the contrary, if the 
mind is selfish, ambitious, greedy, sensual and of hot terripera ~nent, 
it will dirP. ct the intellect for the destruction of humanity. We can conclude from the above discussion that intellect helps 
Nature if it works in unison with Nature's laws. Then only, it is URIN'· THU<·\P\-1 'I~I·. RN IR. 'Il)ll•ON: 7 1 Hl fRAI) I f. UNS Of c. d can serve the world in the benefical to all ltvmg nemgs an ·. d

"First of all clean your mouth and attend to nature's Lall and 
then drink urine. By doing so for a month, not only are the diseases 
destroyed but the body gets purified and cleansed internally. " After this, there is a description of results achieved by its constant 
use for twelve months to twelve years. These details are not -
necessar~ for our purposE:. Our aim is confined to physical health 
only. Elsewhere is has been mentioned in ShivambuKalpa: 
"By taking urine through nose every mornir. g, all diseases in the
