La Paz (EFE). Bolivian President Evo Morales today deplored the country's continued habit of using urine to try to cure diseases and said he asked to his gov. officials to end this practice in rural areas.
The President said that the issue of urine for some is "funny", but his mother cured him with urine and the practice persists in rural Bolivia in the absence of medical personnel.
If someone beats you so badly the only remedy is piss soaked clothing, I'll just let it heal on its own.
Urine is considered to be an invaluable source of nourishment and healing that perhaps has been too controversial or not financially rewarding enough for it to be talked about and encouraged as a potent medicine. One’s own urine, a living food, contains elements that are specific to one’s body alone. The body is constantly producing a huge variety of antibodies, hormones, enzymes and other natural chemicals to regulate and control its functions and combat imbalances that one may not be aware of. Clinical studies have proved that the thousands of critical body chemicals and nutrients that end up in urine reflect the individual body’s functions. When re-utilized, these chemicals and nutrients act as natural vaccines, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic agents as well as hormone balancers and allergy relievers. The information that urine contains therefore cannot be duplicated or derived from any other source. Just as nature produces no two people who are exactly the same, there are no two urine samples in the world that contain exactly the same components.
