38 THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF AUTO-URINE : 39 
rei ief to a patient of heart trouble. Allopaths had adopted a dogmatic 
theory that as urine is expelled from body, it is harmful and is a 
poision. I declare this statement as totally unsound and fallacious. Drinking of urine has been seen to be continuously practised in 
the history of mankind but never has it proved harmful in any way. In different lands, followers of different religions and people 
belonging to different <:astes and creeds have been using this nautral 
fluid in their own way but never have they said anything against it. On the other hand, drinking of urine has been adopted as a custom 
in some places. There is a branch of the religious seet of Vaishnavas 
in Bengal where a couple is blessed by a Guru and along with other 
instructions, is asked to drink auto-urine every day. Whenever either 
of the couple suffers from some physical disease he or she is 
believed to have broken the vow of urine-drinking. For its 
atonement, both of them are required to go on a day's fast on urine 
only. If necessary they take plan water during the period of fast. Thus the disease in the body, if any in completely eliminated. Such 
a repentance has been given the name of jala-kriya. It can well be seen now that apart from not doing any harm to 
the body, urine-drinking eliminates any disease and is a sure check 
for new ones. Urine and dung of cow are considered sacred and are utilized 
without any hesitation. Is human urine in any way inferior to the 
urine of a cow, sheep, goat, deer or horse or even donkey ? Shri 
Bapalal Vaidya of Surat, declares that human urine is far better in 
taste and is more hygienic than cow's urine. He cured himself of 
eosinophilia with urine application for a period of five weeks. Then 
why human urine be condemned as harmful ? Thousands of patients 
who restored their health by urine therapy are living testimonies of 
the efficacy of the urine treatment. This establishes the dictum that a 
grain of experience is thousand times more valuable than heaps of 
mere theorization. It is true that all the elements in urine are not necessarily useful. 40 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
But at the same time, they are quite harmless. Human health, in 
nautraf course, can be easily kept sound. By iff-dieting and faulty 
living man invites diseases. As a disease attacks the body, nutritive 
elements in the body are washed out, through urine. Most of it is 
urea. It is quite surprising that doctors condemn urine which 
contains most of urea and at the same time prescribed artificial urea 
to the patient ! Besides urea, urine also contains, traces of alkaline 
hormones. The doctors are ingnorant about them, and so they do not 
try to replenish them ever artificially . Moreover, hafmfuf toxins in the body, due to the disease, also 
form part of the urine composition. But in accordance with the 
principle of Homoeopathy, i.e., "poison kills poison", the same 
antibodies taken in auto-urine kill the previous poison in the body 
and serve a very useful purpose. In this way urine also acts as an 
'antibody' or 'antigen'. Auto-urine whatever its composition, acts as 
a healer for the patient. However, I do not cl~im complete knowledge of the subject and 
am no authority on it. But I have strong faith in this therapy an6i after 
witnessing thousands of cases, I dare declare : "Auto-urine is useful 
to the patient. It is a fact and not a fallacy. Actually our wrong notion 
indeed is harmful." · CHAPTER XII 
DANGER-SIGNALS AND CAUTIONS 
The actions and reactions during the course of urine treatment 
have already been mentioned along with cases. In spite of that I 
receive many letters asking questions about them. People go throu~h 
the book without properly understanding the points clearly stated m 
it. That is why they repeatedly ask the same questions, though they 
have been already discussed in the book. So it is worth while to 
write about the danger-signals and cautions in this chapter. Rreaders 
are requested to go through them attentively before the 
commencement of the treatment. 1. After five or seven days of rubbing of urine, the patient may 
have itching sensation but he should not be alarmed. He 
should contiune the rubbing and the sensation will gradually 
subside. 2. 3. Sometimes the accumulated heat of the body comes out and 
small white pimples with red points appear on the body. The 
excessive heat begins to come out only after rubbing urine. It is 
the sign of organic purification. Pimples appear in prop~~ion 
to the accumulation of heat in the body. In such a cond1t1on, 
urine may be rubbed on them ~ith some bearable pressure, so 
that pimples get open and urine enters into them. After an hour 
or two the patient should take bath with lukewarm water. Soap, in no case, should be used. The disease is rooted out only when the accumulated poison is 
eliminated. There are three exits of this poison-through month 
in the form of vom1ting, through pores in the form of pimples 
and heat eruptions, and through the anus in the form of 
frequent stools. All the three reactions are possible whi!e 
undergoing this treatment. The poison may come out slowly 1n 
the form of cough and cold. In that case, vomiting may not 
41 42 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
occur. Similarly, loose motions may not occur in case 
accumulated toxins are eliminated in several ordinary motions. In case they are not washed out through some such way, there 
is every possibility of vomiting and loose motions during the 
period of fast. There is nothing to be worried about these 
reactions. Nature should be allowed to have her way; it is 
positively beneficial to do so. In spite of relatives persuasion, 
no medicine or injection should be taken to stop these 
reactions, because that would be extremely harmful. The 
reactions will subside automatically during this treatment. There is nothing to be alarmed even when there are no 
reactions due to one's peculiar constitution. Sometimes, many minor troubles appear along with the main 
disease. I quote here a case to clarify the point. Mr. Kantilal Shah, 
the chief reporter of Gujarat Samachar (Ahmedabad) was suffering 
from piles. Consequently, he had fissures on the soft part of the anus 
and as a result, pain and burning sensation were unbearable. He 
resorted to this treatment and started massage with urine. He had an 
allergy. The rubbing on foot resulted in pimples on the face. He was 
alarmed and telephoned me. I advised him to stop the rubbing and 
continue dringking urine twice or thrice' a day. The pimples 
disappeared in a week but the allergy continued. This is a disease 
caused by constipation which also could be got rid of. I advised him 
to continue the drinking of urine and he followed my instructions. Consequently, the toxins accumulated in his system were 
eliminated. His bowels were cleared and he experienced a light 
body. At the same time, the allergy also disappeared. Shri Shamalbhai, the organizer of Gram-Rakshak Dal in the Kaira 
district got itching on the nose and it became red. He began the 
urine treatment. He had itching on the whole body along with acute 
allergy. In addition, he had diabetes also. He did not care for all 
these troubles and began the treatment without taking instructions. He was accustomed to taking saccharine in tea and he continued the 
same during the urine treatment and kept no control over his diet. In DANGER -SIGNALS AND CAUTIONS : 43 
three days, his whole body became allergic in addition to ha~ing 
pimples. In this condition, he informed me from Bors~d." I ~dv1sed 
him to have patience and not to take any medicine o~ 1nJect10~. He 
was further advised to rub urine with pressure. He d1d accordmgly 
and he got relief in two days though after suffering a gre~t d~al. Urine is a natural complex chemical substance and sacchanne IS a 
chemical compound . No homogeneity is possible between such 
mutually contradictory substances . The above two example are sufficient to caution the patients 
adpoting the urine therapy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1 0. Important Precautio ns : 
Utilize urine only scientifically as shown in the foregoing 
chapters. Do not use any medicine during urine treatment. Do not get alarmed by the reactions like vomiting, loose 
motions, etc., during urine treatment. Start urine treatment only after giving up habits like smoking, 
snuffing, wine-drinking and at least these habits must be well 
controlled. Give up use of condiments at le~st during the urine treatment. Eschew white sugar as far as possible and utilize treacle 
instead. Give up white flour and its preparations. Do not utilize tinned food and fruits. Do not use polished rice and use hand-pounded rice as far as 
possible. Do not use pasteurized milk. 11 . Do not use vegetable ghee. 12. Do not eat too sour, too pungent and too salty foods. i

REVIVAL 
OF 
URINE THERAPY 
(Summary of "Water of Life" by Armstrong ) 
U. T.-6 CHAPTER I 
MR. ARMSTRONG AND REVIVAL OF URINE THERAPY 
We do not know much about the life of ]. W. Armstrong who 
revived urine therapy. He was not for publicity. Urine therapy 
appeared to him very useful. He applied it first to himself and then 
cured thousands of patients thereby. He was not eager to publish his 
experiments, but on insistence of his friends, he prepared the 
book, Water of life which gives an account of extremely serious and 
complicated cases in a brief and clear style. In order to grasp his 
ideas the book should be read repeatedly and thoroughly. He has 
cured thousands of patients with urine therapy. The disease of 
leprosy is generally absent from England. Natural he did not get 
any chance to handle this disease but he has treated all types of 
other diseases with wonderful success. His parents came from an 
ordinary family. In his book, he has mentioned his father curing the 
ailments of cow, horse, dog and other animals with the application 
of their own urine. He took up this therapy, not as a profession but 
as a hobby. In india, we use a bamboo-pipe to give doses of urine 
by inserting it into the mouth of the animals but he did this with a 
horn. Armstrong has given, a vivid description of the treatment of 
brids and animals by narrating the experiences of his father.· The 
conditions in which an ordinary person like Armstrong initiated this 
therapy and the measure of his success give us an idea of his strong 
religious belief, moral courage, patience, equilibrium of mind, 
unshakable faith in Nature, absence of a desire for wealth and fame, 
altruistic bent of mind and other noble qualities. The sound common 
sense couched in his writing can be seen on every page of his book. He experimented on his own body and cured himself of 
tuberculosis of the third stage. A description of his experiments is 
given below in his own words: 
"Although I should prefer to avoid the first personal pronoun, it is 
not possible to do so in the circumstances if I am to carry 
47 48 : AUTO~UR INE THERAPY 
conviction. For, as already implied, one ounce of experience 
outweighs a ton of arguments. "My first patient was myself. It happened in this way. During 
last ~ar,. at the age of thirty-four I presented myself for medical 
examination under what was called the Derby Schem d · d b e, an was 
reJecte . y four examining doctors on the grounds that I was 
consu~~tlve. Moreover, I was urged to put myself under the care of 
a ph:'sloan. Cons~q_u_ently, I consulted a specialist. He, however, 
cons1dered my cond1t1on as not serious he told · , me 1t was more a 
catar_rh~l ca_se and advised plenty of fresh air, sunshine and 
nouns~mg diet. I follwed his advice and in one year put on two lb. of Weight. Nevertheless, not being satisfied with my condition 1 
consulted another specialist who informed me that both m I 
. were affected and despite what the previous specialist ha/sa~~g~ 
was consumptive and must keep up my strength on a diet rich 'in 
sug_ars and starches. Fi~ally, diabetes set in and I was placed on an 
entirely new and drastic regime which consisted of fasting on six 
gla~ses of cold water (sipped) every day for four days of every week 
whd_st on t~e fifth and the two following days, was permitted a 
restncte~ ?let to whet my appetite, not to mention the fact that 1 
was enJomed to chew every morsel of it to such a degree that it 
only produced a very so~~ mouth, aching teeth, swollen gums and 
sv:oll~n ton~ue. In add1t1on to these discomforts, 1 was inflicted 
Wit~ msomn1a, fr~yed nerves and great irritability of temper. The 
reg1 me ~as contmued for sixteen weeks without a break, and 
altho~?h 1t resulted in the disappearance of my cough and catarrhal 
cond:t1ons and also of painful sciatica from which 1 had suffered, 
n?netheless the cure seemed more unpleasant to me than the 
disease. _Th~ final upshot was that after two years of this teratment. I lost faith m doct?rs an~ began series of ventures on my own, 
although much agamst the1r advice. "I will not prolong this story by giving all the details. Suffice it to 
say, t~ere came a momen.t when feeling weak and ill, 1 ·recalled the 
text~ In Command V of the Holy Bible, which runs, 'Drink waters of MR. ARMSTRONG AND REVIVAL OF URINE THERAPY : 49 
thine own cistern', a text which in its turn, reminded me of the case 
of a young girl whose father gave her own urine to drink when she 
was suffering from diphtheria with the result that he cured her in 
three days. Other cases also came to my mind (jauncjice was one) 
which had been cured by the same means. Nor was this all; I 
remembered that the doctor had told me that lungs had been 
damged, after examining my urine. Thereupon I asked him in my 
then innocence: 'If I am losing vital tissues and sugar through my 
urine, then why not drink the urine and replace these elements in 
that way ?' to which he had replied that the organs could not 
assimilate dead matter of urine. This, however, as I have proved 
since, was nothing but a theoretical fallacy. "And here to digress for a moment. I grant that it is unwise 
dogmatically to assert that any given text of scripture means only 
this or that, for other people may read into the Bible some other 
interpretation. Nevertheless, I believed and still believe that the texts 
1 have quoted, and many others also bear reference to that vital 
fluid which is within our bodies; and believing it I acted in 
accordance to that belief to find in the end that it proved to be my 
physical salvation. Fortified by my faith, in what I thought to be the 
courrect interpretation of ,the text, 1. fasted for forty-five days on 
nothing but urine and tap water ahd this, despite the doctors' 
assertion that eleven days without food was the limit to which a 
human being could go. I also rubbed urine on my body-a very 
important factor in the cure with which I shall deal in Chapter XVII. 1 finally broke my fast and though it gave me no discomfort beyond a 
ravenous hunger, I nevertheless ate cautiously for. a time and 
continued to drink my own urine, noticing that its changes in 
temperature, quantity, taste, etc., depended almost entirely on what 
1 ate or drank, and the amount of exercise I took. "At the end of the treatment I felt that I was an entirely new man. 1 weighed 140 lb. ; I was full of vim, looked about eleven years 
younger than acctually I was and had my skin like that of a young 
girl. I was thirty-six at the time and am now over sixty. Yet by SO : AUTO-URINE THERAPY

Though declared as incurable by Allopathy, Armstrong hAls GENGRENE : 51 
cured a number of gangrene patients with urine treatment. So a brief 
account of his experiments would certainly be interesting. Armstrong was first approached by a woman patient of 
gangrene in 1920. Her age was 53 years. She had been treated by a 
well-known doctor of Bradford who was also a dietician. The 
woman suffered from anaemia; her lungs were also badly affected, 
one leg was almost dead and patches of different size were visible 
on both the legs. The eyes were jaundiced , the colour had become 
pale like that of a Eurasian lady. Armstrong was first reluectant to 
take up her case as in his opinion she required a treatment of more 
than two and half months, but at last, he undertook her treatment. The experiment was so successful that Armstrong himself was 
amazed and came to realize that gangrene was not incurable as 
considered generally in Allopathy . The patient fasted on urine and 
tap water. In addition, urine was rubbed on her entire body along 
with pads on the affected parts. In ten days intestines and kidneys 
resumed their regular functions. In the beginning the number of 
patches increased but their pain was reduced. Breathing became 
regular and easier. Sleep was sounder and the leg become normal in 
eighteen days of fasting. The application of urine renovated the skin 
so that there was no sign of a single patch. As soon as the above patient was. discharged after complete 
cure, another came in. She was a woman of forty years. Her right 
leg was so septic that doctors had advised her to get it out off. The 
disease started two years ago with a swelling on the ankle. She tried 
various systems and doctors but the disease went from bad to 
worse. She was suffering also from constipation, piles, eczema and 
sleeplessness. The dead part of the leg had become hollow in places. In spite of so many troubles, she did not lose heart and agreed to fast 
on urine. After the fast on urine for five d·ays her wounds were found 
. in the process of healing and the skin was softer. The mouth trouble 
disappeared the very next day. After sleeplessness of several weeks; 
she got a sound sleep on the third day. After a week, her intestines 
and kindneys began to function properly. The poles were cured. CHATER Ill 
GROWTHS AND CANCER 
There are several types of cancers. It affects various parts of the 
body, and is considered an in curable and dangerous disease. Its 
tumour grows, within the body, known as 'growht', which appears 
as swelling outside the body. But all the swellings on the body are 
not malignant. Cancer means sure death. According to the dodors, 
growth or cancer develops due to the deficiency of natural alkalies 
in the diet. In 1912, the late Dr. F. Forbers Ross of London, a fully 
qualified physician, wrote a book, Cancer-Its Genesis and 
Treatment . On the basis of 22 years' practice, he had come to the 
conclusion that malignancy and other growths are due to a diet 
deficiency in natural salts especially potash. By putting patients on a 
more balanced diet and administer ing potash salts in an assimilable 
form, he cured a large number of cases of this dreaded disease. But 
the orthodox doctors with vested interest, say that cancer can be 
treated only by the knife or radium ! Even thirty per cent of cancer 
patients are not cured by knife or radium. This fact is established 
by the researches of late Dr.Rabag liati of Breadford. He operated on 
about five hundred patients for growth and had to admit at last that 
rarely had any patient survived after operating for cancer and 
growth. Armstrong refers to an experienced nurse in his book. She had 
nursed over fifty cases of cancer and growth in the course of her 
profession. Before long, she herself developed malignant growth. Doctor wanted to perform an operation but she refused to submit to 
the knife. She had witnessed that however painful a growth may be 
before an operation, the pain is comparatively milder than when 
the cancer recurs after operation. The tumour of cancer redevelops 
with an increased pain. There are many cases in which after the 
operation of cancer in certain part, it developed in another part and 
when operated even there, it developed in a third place. The pain 
54 GROWTHS AND CANCER : 55 
goes on increasing each time. The conventional treatment of cancer 
has been proved an utter failure, even than, no other treatment is 
recognized in the medical ~orld. This is very deplorable. The 
centres of cancer research are not prepared to accept the successful 
findings outside the surgical field. Many modern physicians are 
dissatisfied with this state of affairs. This is mentioned only to throw 
some light on the present state of treatment of this pernicious 
disease. No diagnosis of the disease is necessary in urine treatment 
because urine is not a medicine for a particular disease but is a 
means to regain health. The patients disappointed at the diagnosis 
of cancer by doctors used to come to Armstrong. They were 
prescirbed urine methods as were prescribed to any other patients 
and were fully cured. In spite of various difficulties, Armstrong 
successfully treated some patients who were declared incurable. Mrs. R., aged forty years (1923), was pale and emaciated. Her 
height and weight were below normal. She had lumps about the size 
of a hen's egg in both of her breasts. Late doctor Rabagliati 
diagnosed the tumour as cancerous and urged for an immediate 
operaion to which she firmly refused. She fasted on urine and 
drank about 7 lb. of water daily along with it. Her husband rubbed 
her from head to foot with his own urine for two hours a day. Packs 
soaked in urine were placed over both her breasts day and night. Within ten days she was cured. She returned to the doctor Rabagliati 
on the twelfth day after her last visit to him and he could not find 
even a trace of abnormality on her breasts. Anemia also vanished 
and perfect health was restored. In 1925, a middle-aged woman had a growth visible near 
armpit. Tow surgeons advised her operation. Her daughter 
requested them to allow the patient a few days of rest so that she 
may develop stamina to undergo operation. Her request was 
accepted. After a week, arrangements were made for operation in a 
hospital. The daughter had derived much benefit herself from urine 
teratment and so she persuaded her mother to give the treatment a CHATER Ill

trial in the interim period. In five days, not a trace of the growth 
was left. Two days before the patient's appointment at the hospital 
for operation the family doctor called in. He was indignant at having 
his advice and arrangements flouted in this 'careless' manner. But 
when having thoroughly examined the patient, he found her 
condition entirely normal, he could 'Y nothing. Subsequently, he 
called in his colleagues who were to operate her. They too were 
greatly astonished . The woman was alive with sound health when 
this book was writeen in 1944. The author has mentioned the case of another woman just to 
show that operation cannot uproot the disease. That woman came 
io him in ·1927. She was forty-five, stout and had growth of some 
size in her left breast, the right having been operated two years 
before for a similar growth. She disliked second operation. With a 
fast on urine for 19 days along with rubbing, the growth disappeared 
altogether. The fast was continued further to reduce her obesity. After 28 days she was examined . Not a trace of growth was to be 
found. The extra-fat had vanished and she appeared young and 
beautiful like a maiden. The case of one more patient deserves mention. It shows that the 
urine teratment can cure a number of complaints which have no 
apparent connection with one another. The young lady had a 
swollen right breast near the centre where a nasty lump was 
present. There were two large ulcers under the armpit. She had been 
asked by the family doctor to enter the hospital for examination 
prior to surgery. But she declined, rememering that her mother had 
been operated for a similar growth on the advice of the same doctor 
and had to be buried subsequently. Moreover, she herself, having 
suffered from chronic peritonitis had her appendix excised, without 
any rei ief. She started fasting on urine but had to break it at the 
interference of relatives. Nevertheless, firm in her resolution she 
convinced them and resumed the fast after three days which 
continued for 19 days. There was marked improvement within 10 
days and on the 19th day no trace of the painful agony was to be GROWTHS AND CANCER : 57 
seen_ on her breast or in the armpit. But the trouble of peritonitis 
contlonued due to appendix having been excised. So, a little later, 
the courageous lady, fasted for 35 days and achieved the desired 
result. This case history shows that nature is a far more efficacious 
healer than are so-called scientific methods which involve 
mutilation. The author advises without any hesitation urine 
trea~me~t for all sorts of suspicious growth on any part of the body. But 1f th1s treatment is adopted at the eleventh hour, one may have 
to pay the penalty for delay. A young man aged twenty-eight was diagnosed as either having 
the cancer of the gullet or venereal disease. He could live only three 
more ?ays ! That was the doctors' verdict. He was completely cured 
by unne treatment. The patient lived for a number of years 
thereafter. An old lady of sixty-two, when diagnosed was found to have the 
cancer of bowels. She refused operation advised by the doctors. Her 
weight was under 84 lb. and it was rapidly decreasing. She was 
cured by urine teratment in three weeks and lived a long life of over 
84 years. A middle-aged lady· of forty-two .years had a cancer of breast 
Doctors strongly advised her excision, but was given only a faint 
hope of cure. The patient refused operation. There was complete . cure by fasting on urine and she lived 21 years thereafter. Another middle-aged woman developed rope -cancer in 1935. Surgeons pressed for immediate operation but offered no hope of a 
permanent cure. She was cured by the urine fast, etc., in 20 days. Not only was she cured but looked younger and beautiful. A reference has already been made to late Dr. Rabagliati. Armstrong holds him as a simple, enlightened and broad-minded 
physi~ian. When he himself observed that a good number of patients 
suffenng from growth and cancer were cured by urine treatment 
completely and even in a short time, he openly made a very 58 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY

patients declared by doctors as hopeless and or to live no anger 
than only a few days! BRIGHT 'S DISEASE : 59 
Mrs. C. aged forty years was declared by doctors to live no more 
than two days ! Breathing was difficult. Urine was scanty. Her 
normal weight should have been 144 lb. but she weighed roughly 
280 lb. after the commencement of the disease. In spite of the 
doctors' hapless verdict for her, Armstrong did not get disheartened 
thought her physical condition was very serious and painful. In the 
first instance, she passed 2 oz. of urine. It was smelling, warm, 
thick, cloudy and with a mixture of blood and pus. Its drinking was 
so effective that the patient passed 200 oz. of urine in the next 24 
hours. It is wonderful that when taken internally urine has the 
unique power to uproot and expel from the body accumulations of 
poisonous matter in any part of the system. Gradually her urine 
became normal, tasteless and odourless. In addition to urine, Mrs. C. used to sip 108 oz. of tap water. In 
24 hours, after the third day, she was not troubled by thirst. From the 
fourth day onward all anxiety vanished on the 23rd day of her fast a 
little carrot juice flavoured with lemon was given to the patient on 
the request of her nurses. The reaction was terrible. Within two 
hours, a rash appeared on each arm and there was much irritation. At the same time, the flow of urin~ was impeded and swelling 
appeared" on the abdomen. At once pads of urine of one of the 
nurses were placed over the abdomen and both the arms were 
gently rubbed with same fluid. For hours, the abdomen absorbed 
the moisture from the urine pads and the flow of urine restarted. Gradually, the patient recovered. Mrs. C. was, therefore, rubbed twice a day with urine of one of 
her nurses. By the 48th day, the patient had recovered so much that 
she broke the fast with orange juice the next day. After one week 
she weighed 119 lb. and was on her feet walking the room. Although recovered she continued to drink and massage with her 
own urine. All this resulted in a wonderful change in skin, hair and 
complexion and general appearance. Mrs. C.'s case attracted the attention of the people at large. They 
are generally unstable in their opinion. When a tf-10ughtful person a 60 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
chronic patient that he can be cured by urine treatment, the patient 
readily agrees and then at once goes to a doctor f? : consul~ation_! How can a professional agree to such a propos1t1on ! W1th th1s 
mentality they neither understand the seriousness of problems nor 
do they try to apply this therapy. Selfless worker_~-are, therefore, 
needed for the revival of this forgotten science of unne therapy; they 
can only actively work to propagate this priceless and sure 
treatment among the poor patients. Only then can the common 
people adopt it. The case of Mrs. c. gained such popularity that a good number 
of similar patients came to Armsrong. Out of them, two ca~es are 
worth mentioning . Mr. B. had been diagnosed as a pat1ent of 
Bright's disease. When he came to Armstrong in 192?, he ~ad 
already been treated by two doctors for some time dunng wh1ch 
his weight had increased from 280ib. to 420 lb. In June 1920, he 
began fast which lasted for 49 days. By the f~urth day of his fast,_ he 
was passing urine as clear and tasteless as ra1_n-~ater. ~h~ swelling 
of his body began to diminish with an aston1sh~ng rap1d1ty. ~t the 
end of seven weeks his anaemia had disappeared. He now welg~ed 
1 OS lb. instead of 420 lb. and appeared young and healthy. Like 
Mrs. c. he too became an ardent devotee of urine therapy. He. gave· 
up his over eating and other bad habits and began taking restncted, 
proper and balanced diet. A man of sixty, after two years' of constant medical super~ision 
and treatment for heart trouble, developed Bright's disease. F~nally 
given up as a hopeless case by his two doctors, he ~ent to a 
specialist. His condition was extremely senous at that t1me. ~he 
eyes were bulging out tongue was dreadfully swolle~ and protrud~ng 
from the mouth, and his lips had swollen to three t1mes the ~ormal 
size. Even the specialists declaring the case as hopeless sa1d that 
nothing more could be done. In such · ~ co1~dition Arms tr~ng 
undertook the case. The patient passed 40 p1nts. 1.e. 50 lb. of unne 
within five days. His health was completely restored and he 
resumed his business in six weeks. CHAPTER V 
HEART-DISEASE 
The physicians hold that the prttients of heartdisease can with 
care and a well-balanced die! 'ivn tiil ninety, but cannot get rid of 
the disease as it is incurable. Armstrong has proved with his 
experiences that urine therapy can completely cure the disease. Mr. P. was a middle-aged man. He was undergoing medical 
treatment for his heart trouble for a year and was about to undergo 
an operation of the solar plexus. His condition was so serious that 
he fainted quite often. Lately he suffered from these attacks so 
frequently that he carne to be known in the vicinity as 'poor Mr.P.' In such a condition, he approached Armstrong. In the beginning 
he felt disgust for urine and hesitated but soon this feeling vanished. He was also told about the method of rubbing urine and Armstrong 
with his own urine, rubbed him for about two hours. Thereafter Mr. P. was given a bath with warm water. The same 
treatment was continued the next day. He felt so well that he gave 
up the idea of entering nursing home for operation. He was given a 
simple and light diet only once. After one month oftreatme n the was 
so well improved that he was able to return to his business. In· 
twelve weeks he attained complete ·health. Neither a sign of 
heart-disease nor that of suspicious lump in the solar plexus was 
felt. His former doctor cheerfully and ungrudgingly admitted the 
truth of his recovery by urine treatment. Not once since the day he 
began the treatment, did Mr. P. have the heart attack. So little did he 
fear a recurrence that he consigned his drug-tablets to flames ! One notable patie1t of heart-disease was cured by the urine 
treatment. This patient was not treated by Armstrong but by a 
naturopath. The patient. Mr. R. was also a patient of dropsy along 
with heart -disease. His feet, legs and abdornen were much 
swollen. His heart was much dilated. Doctor took a s~rious view of

FEVERS 
There are many types of fevers. The attack of fever deserves a 
welcome ' The fever of the body is an attempt on t~e p~tbof natu;~ 
to elimina~e poison accumulated in the body. It s ou e . cur 
with natural treatment. It is wrong to stop f~ver at ~nee With the 
whip of medicine. It should be allowed to do Its function and whhen 
its work is over, it should be removed by proper means. T at 
method .is fast. d. · and give inJ·ections . As a Doctors prescribe strong me !Cines d' 
result fever subsides temporarily and the patient feels imme late FEVERS : 63 
relief. But after a few days, fever reappears in the form of serious 
diseases. All this is due to the poisons permented throughout the 
body on account of having taken medicines and injections. There are so many instance: where simple fever has been cu~d 
by a shourt fast without taking any injections or doses, yvhereas 
simple fevers become serious and acute by taking strong medicines. A few cases of fever cured with urine treatment by Armstrong are 
worth noting. A young lady of seventeen was striken with fever. She ·was very 
weak. Her temperature was 105° F. One M.D. physician was called 
. in. He said that if recovery took place at all, the victim would be 
ill for six months and then would take further nine months for 
convalescence. Patient's father believed in urine therpy; so 
Armstrong was called in. At first, Armstrong found the patient 
difficult to deal with. But the patient finally consented to a fast on 
urine and plain water. This was the sixth day of her fever, here 
temperature had remained 105° F., and she repidly emaciated. Her 
urine was thick, foul and concentrated. But 24 hours after starting 
urine treatment, the temperature came down to 1 01° F. and the 
uri.ne was cleare. In three days the temperature went down to 99° F. 
and in five days to 97° F. Doctors were much puzzled by such 
magic cure. Fast was broken at the end of 18. days. The patient's 
skin was as tender as that of a tender child. Within a few days of 
breaking the fast, she was up and doing her work feeling perfectly 
well. She continued taking her own urine and maintained her health. Some years after she married and became a mother. Malaria : This is considered an infectious disease characterized 
by paroxysms of intermittent fever. All forms of malaria are due to 
parasites liveing in the blood injected by mosquitoes. Quinine is 
thought to be the on'ly remedy for malaria. But actually it only 
suppresses malaria which getting a chance revives again. Thus its 
total eradication is not possible with such medicines. Armstrong 
says that by urine therapy it is cured once and for all. He claims that 64 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY

ORCHITIS 
Orchitis is the most agonising complaint in which testicles swell 
and sometimes have ulcers. It may be caused by injury, gonorrhoea 
or may occur during an attack of mumps. A young man of nineteen became a victim of the disease. The 
doctor who was called in took a very serious view of this case. The 
patient, then, came to Armstrong. His bowels had not functioned for 
a week; so also his kidney did not work for 72 hours. One side of 
his body was so much swollen as though half a football had been 
inserted under the flesh ! His testicles were as large as tennis balls; 
and the penis was elongated and was as soiid as lead-pencil, 
twisted round like a crokscrew and had turned balck. The victim's 
groans and writhings in agony were heartrending. Although for 
three days he had not taken anything except plain water, the 
swelling and distortion had increased. As he was unable to pass 
urine, Armstrong was obliged-to give him his urine to take. . Two hours after the first draught, the penis appeared a little 
normal and some urine drops came out. About 2 oz. of urine passed 
in this way. It was thick, muddy and as concentrated as gruel. Nevertheless, he drank it without a grimde or a murmur. Four hours 
later, he passed nearly a pint of the same ugly looking and smelling 
urine, which he drank without making a long face. The acids of the 
stomach had so much deposited on the tongue that the patient did 
"1'1ot feel any taste of such urine. Two hours later, the patient had a very copious· and offensive 
stools, the equal of which Armstrong had not seen in his 27 years' 
experience ! During the evacuation, some urine was passed which 
the patient drank subsequently . He was now nearly free from pain, 
eight hours after he had taken the first draught of urine, Pads soaked 
in old urine were placed on his chest, abdomen and head and his 
65 66 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
feet and hands were wrapped in. the same way. He passed more 
and more u~ine and drank every drop of it. His bowels respon.ded 
to the treatment and worked freely and painlessly. T~e evacu~t1o~s 
were now clear. On the fourth day, he passed 22_ p1nts of unne 1n 
24 hours, all of which he drank. In this way, considerable 
improvement had taken place when came ~ set-back. Ar~strong 
had to go out of station. In his absence, a fnendly doctor mduced 
the patient to take a table-spoonful of grounded whe~t in water. The 
result was disastrous. The flow of urine ceased and m 16 hours all 
the previous iymptoms reappeared, though in a slightly less 
aggravated from. There was nothing else b~t to repeat the treatm~nt 
over again. The patient finally broke h1s fast ?f 16 d~ys With 
orange juice. For one week, he was kept on .s1mple, l1ght and 
digestible food. Then the patient was back at h1s work completely 
cured. When Armstrong wrote this book that young man was 40. He 
lived on a well-balanced diet, drank his own urine and enjoyed 
perfect health. The late Dr. Rabagliati was sq impressed by thi~ ca.se that ~e 
wrote and sent a detailed accountof it to four med1cal JOurnals m

THE TREATMENT OF BURNS & WOUNDS 
It was Armstrong's good fortune to prove that urine could cure 
even serious wonds. In an accident, Armstrong suffered a grave 
laceration and injury to his toes, ankle and foot. The toes forced 
back into .the fleshy part of the foot and the toenails were torn off. Naturally the shock and pain were very severe. All the same, he THE TERATMENT OF BURNS & WOUNDS : 67 
rejected the help of a medical frined as he was resolved to prove the 
effects of urine treatment on the wounds. After having the portions of 
his foot put into place by some osteopath, he fasted for four days on 
urine and water and applied pads saturated in his own Urine to the 
affected parts. These bandages were kept moist by repeated 
soakings. On the fifth day when the bandages were finally removed, 
the results were astonishing. All the traces of the injury had 
disappeared and the fl;!et were healthy and supple. Wounds of persons by accidents or other.vise not healing under. medical or other treatment and for which amputation was the only 
suggestion by doctors, were head led by Armstrong by urine therapy. In 1918, a youth came to him. He had received a bullet shot in 
the arm an year ago. The wound was about ten inches in length and 
about half an inch in width. He used to visit a local dispensary 
every week but there was no improvement. At times, the wound 
was ulcerous and suppurating. His medical advisers were afraid that 
it might ultimately turn gangrenous. So they applied ·poisonous 
ointments and dressings. Having got sick of orthodox methods, the 
patient resorted to other treatments from which he derived some 
benefit but the wound would not heal. In spite of objections from 
his wife, he eventually went to Armstrong. All the dressings were 
first removed. His wounded arm was then washed three times a 
day with old urine. Along with it, the rest of the body was given 
gentle massage for a long peroid with old urine. The patient fasted 
for three days on his own urine and water. Short spells of sun-bath 
were given. At the end of seven more days nothing remained of the 
fissure except a very faint scar as thin as a golden thread. Since that cure scores of such patients came to Armstrong and 
were healed miraculously. Armstrong on the basis of his 
experiments, claims that cases of simple and poisoned wounds 
treated at once take four to six days to heal whilst those first 
medically treated and almost rendered gangrenous, take from ten to 
twenty days to heal by urine therapy. 68 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
Burns : The statistics of cases of burning in America is worth 
nothing. In a given year about eight thousand of them almost half 
the number of which were children under five, died of burns. Thousands of others who survived the effects of burns, were 
destined to suffer from unsightly scars. For years, the burns were 
treated with boiled tea-leaves. In 1925, one doctor extracted tannic 
acid from tea-leaves and the same was applied for treatment of 
burns. Thus the treatment was rendered more scientific but the 
problem of scars was not solved. Tannic acid was then replaced by picric acid. Later the surgeons 
tried surgical methods; They took healthy skin from another part of 
the body, usually the buttocks, and grafted it on to the burnt 
portions. But sometimes, the wound left by the removal of the 
healthy skin turned septic and consequently the patient suffered 
considerable pain. Armstrong had to say that in such cases surgery 
was misused as they could have been treated successfully with 
natural means like urine therapy. Armstrong has given an important extract from a letter to him by 
Doctor George. S. Cotton : "Your literature regarding urine therapy 
was received here. I have put the urine therapy to the test and the 
results have been astonishing. In the treatment of burns, wounds, 
etc., urine therapy cannot be beaten by any other treatment. It 
appears to me tllat you are furthering a great truth which should be 
broadcast to the suffering humanity." CHAPTER IX 
SOME MISCELLANEOUS CASES 
It is self-deception to consider any disease as a minor one. No 
disease is minor. In case a disease is not traced at once, gradually it 
takes a serious form and sometimes turns fatal. The urine therapy is 
equally efficacious in. minor cases qS in those of serious nature. SOME MISCELLANEOUS CASES : 69 
Armstrong gives a detailed account of such smal or serious diseases 
successfully cured with urine treatment. 1. Menstruat\on Trouble: A woman suffered from too prolonged 
and too frequent menstruation. She first tried allopathy but with no 
avail. Then she tried herbalism from which though she obtained 
partial relief, was physically weakened. Once she had her monthly 
course for as long as a fortnight. She decided to try urine therapy. Although at first her urine was heavily charged with menstrual 
blood, she was nevertheless heroic enough to take it. Within three 
days, the urine became normal. She continued the fast for 28 days, 
during which she was rubbed with urine of a healthy person for 
several hours every day. The result was a complete cure, not only of 
the menstrual trouble but also of long standing catarrh and 
increasing tendency to deafness. 2. Nephritis : A young woman was a patient of nephritis with 
other distressing symptoms. For several weeks, she had been under 
the treatment of two doctors. At last, she visited a specialist who 
told her mother that the case was hopeless one. The patient was 
then brought to Armstrong. To encourage and induce her to take 
urine, Armstrong went so far as to drink himself a little of that 
offensive looking fluid that she passed. After a fast of 30 days on 
urine and cold water and daily rubbings, the patient was cured of 
her grievous complaint. Never did any other malady develop 
subsequently. When she came to Armstrong she weighed 106 lb. For 
four months after the cure, she continued to use urine internally and 
externally along with a balanced diet twice a day. As a result she 
weighed 136 lb. which would be the normal weight for a woman of 
her height and build. . 3. Obesity: A married lady aged 30 weighed 174 lb. She was 
childless. Though she lived on an ill-balanced diet, she was not a 
glutton. She masticated her food properly and drank water after or 
in-between the meals only. Previously she had tried various 
alterations in her diet but without any effect. She had fasted on plain 
water only but as soon as she would resume food, her weight would 70 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
increase even more rapidly than prior to the fast. Finally she 
consulted Armstrong. With his advice, she fasted on urine and 
water for 14 days with daily rubbings. As a result, her weight 
dropped to 140 I b. She then started taking a well-balanced diet 
twice a day only. By dint of living in this way and taking her own 
urine daily, her weight remained about 150 lb. and although she 
past 50, she appeared about 33 only. 4. An Interesting Case : A male patient about 58, had been in a 
hospital for several weeks for observation and treatment. At the end 
of the term, his case was declared incurable and he was advised to 
keep in touch with his local doctor. He was given a special drug 
for disgestion to take whenever necessary. At the request of one of 
his patients, Armstrong agreed to treat him. He could see that if the 
patient was to die, it might not be due to the disease so much as 
due to the powerful poisonous drugs that were given to him. His 
eye-balls were much dilated. He was thin but not to the extent of 
emaciation . He was a careful eater and was regular in his habits. He had never been subject to colds and never suffered from 
constipation or diarrhoea. His only vice had been the use of snuff 
but he had discontinued the habit for one year. Armstrong 
examined the patient for a few minutes only and water with his own 
urine. He and his wife were further told not to get alarmed if any 
actions or reactions start during the fast. His stools and vomits were 
to be kept for the inspection of Armstrong . The patient began with urine treatment. The vomiting started 24 
hours after he had taken his first draught of urine. Two large 
buckets were filled with the foul matter he had vomited. There was 
great looseness of the bowels and much catarrhal discharge from 
the nose. In fact, he was obliged to use a dozen handkerchiefs 
which were not only soiled with ropy muculi but also with snuff. The fast was continued and in a week, all discharge ceased. The fast 
was broken in 1 0 days and the patient was cured, (In 1944 at the 
time of writing the book) he was over 70. This case is very inte~esting as it serves to show that with urine SOME MISCELLANEOUS CASES : 71 
therapy, it is quite unnecessary to diagnose the dis~ase in order t~ 
treat it. It is further interesting as it shows that a forergn matterft sn~ 
in this case, remains deposited in the tissues for months a er rts 
inhaling had been discontinued. 5. Janudice: Jaundice is merely a sympo~m of ~o~e chronic or 
acute affection of the lever and is not a drsease. rn rts~f. In 1919, 
Armstrong had his first and most difficult case of Jaun~lce. ~t that 
t. he had hardly started his career as a urine theraprst. Thrs case 
rme, f · and tap water took 10 days to clear up with a ast on unne . . . Armstrong did not have a chance to treat many cases of Jaund~ce 
but in those he did, he noticed the remar~able fact t at 
discolouration of the skin began during the very frrst twof or tre~ 
days of the fast and at the end gave ~lace ~o a colour as res a~ 
healthy as the complexion of a dairy-mrnd .. Ergh~ t? ten days ~-sual ~

he came to Armstrong and according to his suggestion, started 
fasting on urine and water. Within a few weeks, his condition was 
much improved. There was no pain and the urine was of normal 
colour. After three months, Mr. G. D. returned to the hospital for 
examination and he was told that there was nothing wrong with his 
kidney. The X-ray gave, again, a clear proof of healthy kindey 
without a trace of the stone. Armstrong cured a good number of patients of various acute 
disease, the detailed account of which is given in his book, The 
Water of Life. The brief account of his book should serve the 
reader's purpose. He who wants a full account, should read the

URINE THERAPY 
ON 
THE SUCCESSFUL TEST OF THE COMMON 
PEOPLE CHAPTER I 
EXPERIMENT ON SELF 
I came to know of urine therapy during my own ailment. I read 
the book on this new system and deliberated on it. But I felt that 
mere reading or writing or preaching has no value. I had gone to Mount Abu for rest in the summer of 1954. There I 
had the first attack of asthma. The heart failed to perform its proper 
function due to weakness. Consequently, the trachea got filled 
with water and my heart began to pant like an engine causing 
further weakness. Wrong habits, intemperate living or irregularity of 
diet, cause a disorder in the digestive system which affects the heart 
and the latter becomes weak and unable to perform its function 
properly. My disease began with hyperacidity due to some of these 
casues which later on affected the heart. Though hyperacidity was 
cured by medical treatment, the weakness of the heart continued. In February 1958, the attack of the disease was so serious that 
doctors and relatives had given up all hopes of my life. The ...yill of 
Providence was supreme and I did not die. But due to the weal ''ess 
of the heart, asthma, cough, phlegm etc. still persisted. The doctor 
diagnosed it as the asthma of the heart. Consequently, he warned 
.me not to take part in any social activity. I heeded to the warning 
but the phlegm and cough did not stop. It was so intense that I 
could not take any rest nor get any peace. On 8th february 1958, I rang up my doctor Shri jashubhai Bhatt 
and acquainted him of my condition. Next day I went to the Sheth 
Lallubhai G. Hospital. The doctor examined me. He screened. my 
heart and lungs and found some moisture in the right lung which 
was the cause of cough and phlegm. The condition was not serious. He prescribed an injection of Naphthol in order to drain out the 
water deposited in the lungs and said that I should pass about 60-70 
oz. of urine by this treatment. This would clear the lungs and cough 
75 76 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
an~ phlegm would subside. The conditon of the heart was not 
senous. On t~e t~ird day I took the same injection and passed about 
80 oz. ~f u:me m 24 hours but cough and phlegm did not abate. Meanwhile rt so _happened that Shri Juthabhai Shah of Harijan 
Ashram, Sabar~atr, came to see me. During the conversation he 
talke~ about U~lne trea_tment. In February of antecedent year, when I 
w~s m .a hosprtal, a fnend had written to me that I could be cured 
wrth unne treatment. But I was helpless at that time. After . almost one year the same proposal came again. Shri 
Juthabhar. gave me a copy of The Water of Life to read and also 
~elated hrs own experience thereof. I went through the book It 
mterested m~ ~ore and more as I went through its pages: It 
appeare~ as rf rt wa~ discussing my own case.

38 THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF AUTO-URINE : 39 
rei ief to a patient of heart trouble. Allopaths had adopted a dogmatic 
theory that as urine is expelled from body, it is harmful and is a 
poision. I declare this statement as totally unsound and fallacious. Drinking of urine has been seen to be continuously practised in 
the history of mankind but never has it proved harmful in any way. In different lands, followers of different religions and people 
belonging to different <:astes and creeds have been using this nautral 
fluid in their own way but never have they said anything against it. On the other hand, drinking of urine has been adopted as a custom 
in some places. There is a branch of the religious seet of Vaishnavas 
in Bengal where a couple is blessed by a Guru and along with other 
instructions, is asked to drink auto-urine every day. Whenever either 
of the couple suffers from some physical disease he or she is 
believed to have broken the vow of urine-drinking. For its 
atonement, both of them are required to go on a day's fast on urine 
only. If necessary they take plan water during the period of fast. Thus the disease in the body, if any in completely eliminated. Such 
a repentance has been given the name of jala-kriya. It can well be seen now that apart from not doing any harm to 
the body, urine-drinking eliminates any disease and is a sure check 
for new ones. Urine and dung of cow are considered sacred and are utilized 
without any hesitation. Is human urine in any way inferior to the 
urine of a cow, sheep, goat, deer or horse or even donkey. Shri 
Bapalal Vaidya of Surat, declares that human urine is far better in 
taste and is more hygienic than cow's urine. He cured himself of 
eosinophilia with urine application for a period of five weeks. Then 
why human urine be condemned as harmful. Thousands of patients 
who restored their health by urine therapy are living testimonies of 
the efficacy of the urine treatment. This establishes the dictum that a 
grain of experience is thousand times more valuable than heaps of 
mere theorization. It is true that all the elements in urine are not necessarily useful. 40 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
But at the same time, they are quite harmless. Human health, in 
nautraf course, can be easily kept sound. By iff-dieting and faulty 
living man invites diseases. As a disease attacks the body, nutritive 
elements in the body are washed out, through urine. Most of it is 
urea. It is quite surprising that doctors condemn urine which 
contains most of urea and at the same time prescribed artificial urea 
to the patient. Besides urea, urine also contains, traces of alkaline 
hormones. The doctors are ingnorant about them, and so they do not 
try to replenish them ever artificially. Moreover, hafmfuf toxins in the body, due to the disease, also 
form part of the urine composition. But in accordance with the 
principle of Homoeopathy, i. e. , "poison kills poison", the same 
antibodies taken in auto-urine kill the previous poison in the body 
and serve a very useful purpose. In this way urine also acts as an 
'antibody' or 'antigen'. Auto-urine whatever its composition, acts as 
a healer for the patient. However, I do not cl~im complete knowledge of the subject and 
am no authority on it. But I have strong faith in this therapy an6i after 
witnessing thousands of cases, I dare declare : "Auto-urine is useful 
to the patient. It is a fact and not a fallacy. Actually our wrong notion 
indeed is harmful. " · CHAPTER XII 
DANGER-SIGNALS AND CAUTIONS 
The actions and reactions during the course of urine treatment 
have already been mentioned along with cases. In spite of that I 
receive many letters asking questions about them. People go throu~h 
the book without properly understanding the points clearly stated m 
it. That is why they repeatedly ask the same questions, though they 
have been already discussed in the book. So it is worth while to 
write about the danger-signals and cautions in this chapter. Rreaders 
are requested to go through them attentively before the 
commencement of the treatment. 1. After five or seven days of rubbing of urine, the patient may 
have itching sensation but he should not be alarmed. He 
should contiune the rubbing and the sensation will gradually 
subside. 2. 3. Sometimes the accumulated heat of the body comes out and 
small white pimples with red points appear on the body. The 
excessive heat begins to come out only after rubbing urine. It is 
the sign of organic purification. Pimples appear in prop~~ion 
to the accumulation of heat in the body. In such a cond1t1on, 
urine may be rubbed on them ~ith some bearable pressure, so 
that pimples get open and urine enters into them. After an hour 
or two the patient should take bath with lukewarm water. Soap, in no case, should be used. The disease is rooted out only when the accumulated poison is 
eliminated. There are three exits of this poison-through month 
in the form of vom1ting, through pores in the form of pimples 
and heat eruptions, and through the anus in the form of 
frequent stools. All the three reactions are possible whi. e 
undergoing this treatment. The poison may come out slowly 1n 
the form of cough and cold. In that case, vomiting may not 
41 42 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY 
occur. Similarly, loose motions may not occur in case 
accumulated toxins are eliminated in several ordinary motions. In case they are not washed out through some such way, there 
is every possibility of vomiting and loose motions during the 
period of fast. There is nothing to be worried about these 
reactions. Nature should be allowed to have her way; it is 
positively beneficial to do so. In spite of relatives persuasion, 
no medicine or injection should be taken to stop these 
reactions, because that would be extremely harmful. The 
reactions will subside automatically during this treatment. There is nothing to be alarmed even when there are no 
reactions due to one's peculiar constitution. Sometimes, many minor troubles appear along with the main 
disease. I quote here a case to clarify the point. Mr. Kantilal Shah, 
the chief reporter of Gujarat Samachar (Ahmedabad) was suffering 
from piles. Consequently, he had fissures on the soft part of the anus 
and as a result, pain and burning sensation were unbearable. He 
resorted to this treatment and started massage with urine. He had an 
allergy. The rubbing on foot resulted in pimples on the face. He was 
alarmed and telephoned me. I advised him to stop the rubbing and 
continue dringking urine twice or thrice' a day. The pimples 
disappeared in a week but the allergy continued. This is a disease 
caused by constipation which also could be got rid of. I advised him 
to continue the drinking of urine and he followed my instructions. Consequently, the toxins accumulated in his system were 
eliminated. His bowels were cleared and he experienced a light 
body. At the same time, the allergy also disappeared. Shri Shamalbhai, the organizer of Gram-Rakshak Dal in the Kaira 
district got itching on the nose and it became red. He began the 
urine treatment. He had itching on the whole body along with acute 
allergy. In addition, he had diabetes also. He did not care for all 
these troubles and began the treatment without taking instructions. He was accustomed to taking saccharine in tea and he continued the 
same during the urine treatment and kept no control over his diet. In DANGER -SIGNALS AND CAUTIONS : 43 
three days, his whole body became allergic in addition to ha~ing 
pimples. In this condition, he informed me from Bors~d. " I ~dv1sed 
him to have patience and not to take any medicine o~ 1nJect10~. He 
was further advised to rub urine with pressure. He d1d accordmgly 
and he got relief in two days though after suffering a gre~t d~al. Urine is a natural complex chemical substance and sacchanne IS a 
chemical compound. No homogeneity is possible between such 
mutually contradictory substances. The above two example are sufficient to caution the patients 
adpoting the urine therapy.
