The Internet is a storehouse of information, from the mundane to the really bizarre. That’s why separating the chaff from the proverbial wheat can be extremely challenging.
However, one health “enthusiast” has claimed that his own urine helped him improve his vision and better his oral health. He even has his own YouTube channel where he expounds on the benefits of using one’s own urine for health.
The man, named Steven Williams, also has a documentary detailing this unusual health lifestyle called Urine Aid.
He explained: “I’ve tried using aged urine with eye-droppers and I dropped them into my eyes.
“That really is quite painful, it stings a lot. But it’s very effective for reducing cataracts and getting rid of things like that in the eyes… like stye.
“While we’re talking restoring vision, I always get a little cup like this, fill it up with urine which I’ll do now; a little bit of fresh urine.
“I prefer fresh urine, it makes dry eyes moist so it’s great for dry eyes.
“Just hold the cup up, hold it over the eye and just start blinking. Roll around the eye, look up, and down and just do that for a few minutes.
“If it runs on your face don’t panic because it’s really good for the skin. Once you’ve finished I tend to throw it out and start a new batch for the following eye.”
He continued: “When I’m at the swimming pool, what I do is fill up my goggles with urine.
“I sneak into the toilet. I pop it on my head like that which starts a little suction. And then when I’m in the pool I just slip them on to the top of my eyes like that.
“I pretty much do my laps and my eyes are getting a really good soaking. That’s a good 10 to 15 minutes of dosing. So at that time I get a good wash-out and clean the eye out in that way.”
Which is another way of saying that you shouldn’t go swimming if he’s around?
And if you ask Steven what his advice would be to whiten one’s teeth, you got it, it’s urine. Just gargle it and you’re good to go.
He explained: “After about five to six minutes it gets a very lathery texture to it. You can feel it getting thicker. Sometimes I have to spit a little bit out just release the pressure in the mouth.
“And in about ten minutes, it is like soap. Really thick and foamy and lustrous.
“It’s making my teeth smile whiter.”
“You don’t have to use a toothbrush, you don’t have to use toothpaste. Three times a day, just a little bit of urine cleans my mouth.”
As expected, not everyone has bought into this rather unorthodox health practice.
Shamir Patel, who founded Chemist 4 U and is a leading pharmacist, warned: “There is no scientific evidence backing up claims that drinking urine is beneficial.
“Urine is made up of fluid and waste products that your body no longer needs.
“When you empty your bladder, urine will exit your body through the urethra which can be home to some types of bacteria. Sometimes this bacteria can grow out of control and contaminate the urine.
“Drinking urine can introduce bacteria and toxins into your bloodstream. Pouring urine into the eyes can also introduce bacteria and toxins which could cause infection and damage vision.”
In case you still want to try it out, don’t say you weren’t warned.
