REPORT # 3 - TITLE: THE ANTISEPTIC AND BACTERIAL ACTION OF UREA,

1935, by John H. Foulger, M.D., and Lee Foshay, M.D., Journal of

Laboratory and Clinical Medicine. From the Departments of

Pharmacology and Experimental Bacteriology, University of Cincinnati.

 

The researchers in this study, Foulger and Forshay, found that urea

was extremely effective in curing or preventing a wide variety of

bacterial infections and, unlike sulfa drugs, which were widely used

at the time, had no deleterious side effects:

 

" ...In an account of the action of urea...Ramsden (1902) made the

very interesting observation that urea prevents putrefaction... The

first detailed study of urea as a bactericide, (destroys bacteria),

is that of Peju and Rajat... No great attention was paid to the

bactericidal action of urea until Symmers and Kirk (1915), (who)

found urea of undoubted value as a wash in the treatment of

Diptheria carriers (and) the treatment of wounds. That urea was

innocuous (harmless) to human tissues was adequately proved.

 

" In one case with a chronic staphylococcus blood infection, urea

(powder) was sprinkled between the layers of tissue and the wound,

then closed with sutures. Healing followed with no sign of

infection. ...Infected wounds, dressed with urea powder, gave better

results than similar wounds treated by similar methods.

 

" Unaware of the work of Symmers and Kirk, one of us (J.F.) selected,

as material for a clinical study of urea, a few cases of Purulant

Otitis Media (middle ear infection)... All of the cases which had

failed to respond to other local medicaments responded to urea.

 

" A boy of ten developed Otitis Media and Hemorrhagic Nephritis

(kidney inflammation) about the third week of hospitalization for

scarlet fever. Urea treatments were started. The ear discharges at

once became less foul. At the same time the blood gradually

disappeared from the urine.

 

" The results so far obtained suggest that urea may be of

considerable value in the treatment of purulent discharges of many

types, also in the treatment of suppurating wounds producing foul

odors. This latter use of urea has been reported recently by Millar

(see next report).

 

" The cheapness and harmlessness of urea should encourage other

investigations of its clinical use. "

 

As an added note, Foulger and Foshay also discovered, as did other

urea researchers later, that destroying strong bacterial strains,

such as those which cause staph and strep infections, required

longer exposure to urea than did some other types of bacteria, which

is something to keep in mind when using Urine Therapy to combat

staph and strep infections.
