I was recently watching TABOO on National Geographic channel. They did an episode on people in Melbourne who drink their own pee!!!!

These people thought that it was better for you. They would even put it on their skin!!!!

Has anyone seen this episode and have any thoughts?

People all over the world drink their own urine. I know a guy in Mexico who drinks his own urine, he says its good for his arthritis or something. I also know people who put marijuana dipped in alchahol on their skin.. I don't know what that does.

Urine therapy is a somewhat controversial alternative healing method that's been around since ancient Roman times.

i can't see how something that carries the wastes out of our body could possibly be good to put back in our body...

I've heard a long long time ago that urine has some healing properties, but it's not an adult urine, but urine of babies.

People used to drink urine for its teeth whitening properties. Back in the day, if you had white teeth everyone knew you were drinking urine.
