Jai Om, Sunrise. I do not know of anyone drinking old urine or even
recommending it, but I can guess it might be harmful. Urine Therapy
is hard enough as it is, without adding stinky aged urine to an
already distasteful cuisine. If you doubt me, preach urine therapy in
public, and you will probably receive a negative reaction. Now try it
after taking aged urine both internally and externally. The crowd
will appreciate you even less, and when you go home and try to kiss
your lover, even she will show less appreciation than before.

So, in addition to the possibility you might poison yourself, there
is the certainty that your social status will go down as well. Only
for masochists, but many agree with Armstrong, the father of modern
Urine Therapy, that it is good to use aged urine topically (I
wouldn't), but the consensus is: Aged, rotten urine is not to be
taken internally. The properties absorbed by skin, are different from
what is absorbed by the Alimentary Canal. "What is good for the goose
is not necessarily good for the gander." E. Coli is found naturally
in most human intestines, but Heaven help the critter who has E. Coli
in the tummy. "The square peg does not go in the round hole."
Location, location, location... Sai Ram
