Usually only the sick are advised Urine Therapy. You know the disease process in the human physical body often starts at the digestive level. The body cannot consume and assimilate even beneficial elements. However the digestive juices do act on the elements while the food remains in the stomach. This renders the nutrients partially digested. As they cannot be digested in any other manner, because they do not go into the bloodstream, the body rejects them as urine. However when the urine is reingested these partially digested nutrients are now easily digestible. I too was sceptical like you when I came across this concept, as you guessed, during Sri Morarji Desai's time. But I did feel that a person like Sri Desai would not adopt any procedure without proper verification. Later I came across certain articles by naturopaths and ayurveds and also an acknowledgement of the practice by doctors of the biochemic system of medicine, discovered by Dr. Schussler. In India certain systems have continued since a long time just because people have been benefitted. Near my ancestral village there existed a practice of branding people with a red hot iron in certain places of their body depending on the disease they had. My Grandfather as well as many village elders had those marks in their bodies which I could recognise as accupressure/accupuncture points. In Orissa also very near the capital city of Bhubaneswar exists a place, Kalupada Ghat, where such iron brandings, combined with herbal elements are used to treat fractures. People go to these vaidyas to get their broken bones set right after allopathic procedures fail. Even doctors have benefitted from this procedure though they admit that the process is exactly opposite of what modern medicine recommends. I think the proof of the pudding lies in the eating (or drinking !!). Only when we are benefitted by an unorthodox system of treatment do we change our views. We all know how the fish medicine of Andhra Pradesh is being opposed by rationalists but the Govt can do little to check the practice as patients are being benefitted. Therefore as I said, we should learn to depend upon clinical evidence also. A classic case is homeopathy. The modern scientists admit that it works but oppose it on the ground that they do not understand how it works. This is the scientific myopia that needs a cure. Regards, Jagannath.
