Oh,also if you suffer from hair-loss you may want to try the following remedy prescribed in the excerpt below.<gg> [Besides you can't blame the old man for trying to be eco-friendly can ya?] "Urine therapy in the West Apart from these effects within meditational context, the use of urine is very practical as far as curing all kind of ailments and diseases is concerned. This practice has been known all over the world and in many cultures. The Greeks and Romans were acquainted with the use of urine as a medicine. But also later in history there are many references to urine as being helpful to combat illnesses. A good example can be found in a major German encyclopedia (Johann Heinrich Zedler's Grossen Vollst„ndigen Universallexikon, 1747), in which the author offers the following tips concerning the use of urine as medicine: "Useful substances can be found in human as well as animal urine... Human urine has strengthening and curative characteristics concerning many deficiencies: "For example, a mixture of potato&endash; and sulphur&endash;powder, mixed with heated, old urine helps against hair loss. One should rub this mixture into the scalp; this slows down loss of hair (calf's gall can be added if necessary). "One can best heal injuries to the eyes with honey dissolved in the lightly boiled urine from a young man. One should wash the eyes as often as possible with this fluid. "All kinds of throat inflammation can be helped by gargling with urine to which a bit of saffron has been added. "Trembling hands and knees can be helped by washing and rubbing one's own warm urine into the skin directly after one has urinated. "In the beginning stages of dropsy, one should drink one's own morning urine on an empty stomach for a prolonged period of time. This also helps against jaundice." In this century it was the Englishman John Armstrong who was the urine therapy pioneer with his work and with his book The Water of Life, famous both in West and East. Armstrong realised that the powerful medical world entertained other ideas about the usefulness of urine. Even so, he was exceptionally persistent in his conviction and enthusiasm concerning urine therapy, probably because through urine therapy, he cured himself of tuberculosis which had been declared 'uncurable'. Armstrong began urine therapy after a long and agonising journey in which doctor after doctor proved unable to cure him of his TB symptoms. On the contrary, his condition only worsened. He decided to try urine therapy for two reasons. First of all, a quotation from the Bible stimulated his curiosity: "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well." (The Book of Proverbs 5:15) Secondly, he had childhood memories of his mother smearing urine on his face which was swollen from a bee sting, and of his grandfather treating animals with urine. Recently, a lot of books have been published on urine therapy, especially in Germany, and some of those books have been written by regular doctors. This shows that there is a development towards a little bit more understanding and acceptance from people working within the regular medical field. The aauthors of these books show, just like Armstrong did, how versatile the application possibilities of urine are. It works wonders in many minor problems and diseases such as ear- and eye infections, burns and bruises, allergic conditions (hay fever), fungus infections of the skin, warts, etc.. But it also can help the immune system to cope with more serious conditions such as chronic colds, flu, stomach problems, bronchitis, etc.. Furthermore it has proven very helpful in the treatment of a number of very serious, immune related diseases, such as chronic and severe allergies, asthma, cancer, M.E. and AIDS. In these cases it did definitely not always led to long term healing results, but it often alleviated symptoms to considerable extent and sometimes indeed resulted into remarkable improvement of the disease condition." ÿ
