Could Urine Therapy be helpful to your health?

There is anecdotal evidence that there is some benefit, but until there is a large-scale study in a reputable journal that confirms it, I would stay away.\n\nAs for the dangers, there is no bacteria in urine unless you have a urinary tract infection.  The kidneys and lymph system make darn sure of that.  The rest of urine is really made up of water, nitrogen-containing compounds resulting mostly from protein metabolism, and various electrolytes such as sodium, chlorine, and potassium.

According to MedLine:\n"Due to the high mortality rate in the elderly population and the risk of permanent kidney damage, prompt treatment is recommended.\nAfter obtaining a urine culture to identify the bacteria, antibiotics are selected to treat the infection."\nThis doesn't sound like something you want to fool around treating yourself.

The answer could be a yes or a no! Urine is sterile before it exits the body. As soon as it exits the body its not longer sterile because it has come into contact with bacteria from the unrinary tract and the vagina/penis (which normally have some bacteria residing in them weather harmful or not).

I've used them.  They work really well at flushing out your system, and can be beneficial not only toward weight loss, but may have some benefits toward treating minor arthitis.  One complaint is that it can make urine smell really pungent from the vinegar.  Other than that, the pills are not bad.

Water and time.  \n\nThere are no "magical" detoxifying products that whisk away drug particles from your system.  All these "detoxification" products you can buy are really only diuretics (they make you urinate).\n\nLet me reiterate this:  Those detoxification products you can find for sale?  They're pretty much bullhsit.  Drinking a lot of water and drinking some tea (which is a diuretic) will accomplish the same feat.\n\nThe only thing of significance that some products offer is an extra amount of crap to make it appear as if your urine is not diluted (usually some creatinine).  This way, when you are tested the urine will not come back as "diluted".  However, most testing laboratories do not go the extra step unless your urine has obviously been watered down.

No as what your body cannot use it will excrete in your urine.

Actually it's not good at all.  Holding in urine can cause a bladder infection or urinary Tract infection.  Holding excrement in the colon for long periods of time and doing it often can lead to possible colon cancer.  Don't do it.  If you gotta go, you gotta go.

No,its not. When you have a UTI you should take the medications prescribed by your doctor, and drink plenty of cranberry juice & water. Both of those help flush your body out.

The reason being is that it helps to prevent urinary tract infections. Ask your GP about it, they will tell you the same thing.

Actually it is usefull for our body specially the kidney to drink lots of water, and also not to get dehydrated specially if you workout or stay in the sun for hours

Not necessarily.  Drink more water.  If the color of your urine is still abnormal, consult your gynecologist.

The answer is yes...you should be treated. Even if you do not have symptoms (such as increased frequency of urination, pain while urinating or cloudy urine), the presence of WBC and a significant bacterial growth found in your urine are reasons enough to get you started on antibiotics. \n\nGet your doctor's opinion on the best antibiotic for you :)
