Drink Your Way to Health

Sounds inviting, doesn't it? But just wait'll you hear what you have to drink. This page provides a thorough introduction to the emerging practice of "urine therapy." This unique "healing modality" actually goes back hundreds of years, and involves drinking small amounts of your own urine mixed with distilled water and vodka (which acts as a kind of pee-pee preservative). That's quite a cocktail! What does it do, you ask, besides disgust your loved ones? Advocates of urine therapy say imbibing your nutrient-rich waste enhances the body's immune defenses and stimulates healing. So this holiday season try hoisting a tankard of pee instead of egg nog. Your friends are sure to tell you "urine" in the pink in no time at all.
