URINE THERAPY FROM BIOMEDIX.COM

Urine therapy can be a very effective healing modality. Sometimes
when all else fails, urine therapy will turn a person around. We will
be covering some of the reasons why this may be so, and in that
regard will lightly touch on homeopathy and isopathy. Both of these
concepts are often discussed by holistic practitioners. You will get
a deeper understanding of isopathy as it is touched on here if you
take the Rot & Rust Tour in one of the educational sections of this
website.

YOUR BODY'S OWN MEDICINE

Sometimes you may find, that as much as you try to eat right, to take
the appropriate nutritional supplements, to exercise, to drink plenty
of pure water - you still just don't get better or solve your
particular health challenge. When you cannot find a practitioner in
your sphere that is able to get to the core of what ails you, these
are the times when you may need a little extra help. In that light
I'd like to review homeopathy/isopathy and your body's own medicine.

Homeopathy

In definition, homeopathy is: A therapeutic method, which clinically
applies the Law of Similars and uses medically active substances at
infinitesimal doses.

Ok, so lets say you get sick with the flu. By using the Law of
Similars, you would give yourself an additional dose of some same or
similar flu virus, and this would stimulate your immune system to go
into battle. That's using the Law of Similars. However, in
homeopathy, you never take the similar substance full strength. You
take an infinitesimally smaller amount. Actually, it is so small as
to be unmeasurable by physical scientific instruments.

To get to such a small level, the original substance goes through a
dilution process. For example, suppose you were making a flu remedy.
You would take, for instance, 99 drops of distilled water and add one
drop of flu virus. You would vigorously shake that solution 50 to 100
times (homeopaths call this succussing). Then you would take a drop
of that solution and add it to another 99 drops of water and shake
again. Then take a drop of that solution and do it again, and again,
and again, etc. By the time the homeopath is through with this
process, any scientific laboratory could analyze the solution and all
they would say is that the substance is just water. BUT, and this is
a big but, the power of the remedy is in the vibrational imprint that
has been stamped on the water itself by the original flu drop and
through each successive generation. And this is where we get into
quantum physics and subtle energy, areas where our physical sciences
are not yet capable of going.

When the body is given a homeopathic remedy, it is stimulated into
action, not because of the physical or chemical nature of the
substance, but because of the energetic nature. The body receives new
vibratory information and acts accordingly. Now to anyone trained in
the physical sciences, this is not provable. But whether you believe
this yourself or not is irrelevant, the fact is, homeopathics can be
a very powerful healing resource when used correctly.

Isopathy

In the Rot & Rust educational tour in the microscopy section, we have
a discussion about the colloids of life in the blood. These are
hypothetical constructs which say if the terrain of the blood (i.e.
the bloods pH balance, mineral balance etc.) gets shifted, the
elemental forms, the colloidal particles known as the protits or
somatids, will change their shape to adapt to the new environment.
What they change into can be pathogenic (disease producing) to the
body.

This is the biological aspect to the disease process in the body as
espoused by some thinkers. When Professor Enderlein (ref. Rot & Rust)
was doing all of his research in this area, he believed the
developmental life cycle of an internal parasite to be real. He knew
that disease was brought about by a shifted internal metabolic
balance. To get well, you had to rebalance that metabolism.
Understanding these concepts, in relation to also theorizing a
totally biological nature of disease, he developed biological
preparations to speed the healing process. Today these preparations
are made primarily by companies most notably out of Germany.

As biological preparations, they work on a supposedly unique level.
If microbes do indeed evolve in the blood to a pathogenic level,
then to get well, you would want to de-evolve those same
microorganisms back to a stage where they no longer present a
problem.. The primary way to do this is through diet (i.e. rebalance
pH). But in severe situations, you could accelerate the process
biologically. This is where Enderlein's remedies would come into
play. He theorized that if you have a microbe at one late
developmental stage in the body that is causing problems, you could
introduce the earlier stage of that same type of microbe and they
would mate and become a lesser form. This is how his isopathic
remedies work (iso meaning equal or same).

Enderlein's so-called protit was seen as a colloid of life--a
progenitor to later stages of development if the pH of the blood gets
thrown off. To de-evolve the later pathogenic stages, the re-
introduction of new cultured young protits back into the blood, would
see the pathogenic forms become lesser, apathogenic forms. This is
the basis for Enderleins isopathic remedies. It claims to promote
gentle and effective self healing through biological means.

Understanding these two concepts of homeopathy and isopathy, is going
to lead to a further understanding of just what the power may be that
is behind the effectiveness of the medicine your own body produces.

The Product of Your Own Metabolism

The first time I was exposed to the concept that the body makes its
own medicine, it was through a friend who was introduced to it
through an eastern Indian "guru" type of fellow. I thought it was
interesting but a wacky kind of idea and I never thought about it
again - until I came across a book. The book is entitled, "Your Own
Perfect Medicine" by Martha Christy. She has an interesting story to
tell.

Ms. Christy was sick. Very sick. For a very long time. Pelvic
inflammatory disease, ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease, chronic
fatigue syndrome, Hashimoto's disease, mononucleosis. She had severe
kidney infections, two miscarriages, chronic cystitis, severe
candida, endometriosis, adrenal insufficiency, serious chronic ear
and sinus infections, food and chemical allergies. And that wasn't
the half of it. She had every conceivable medical test, her share of
surgery, and drugs - plenty of them. Then she tried all forms of
alternative therapy. Homeopathy, herbs, mega-vitamins and liv-cell
treatments in Mexico. After traditional medicine failed to work, she
and her husband spent over $100,000 trying to get her well with
alternative approaches. Nothing worked.

And then one day, her husband brought home a little book that told of
how individuals had been cured of even the worst diseases with a
seemingly strange and little-known natural therapy. Soon afterwards,
she began the therapy herself. From the first day she began, she
received almost instantaneous relief from her incurable constipation
and fluid retention. Within a week, her severe abdominal and pelvic
pain was gone.

The chronic cystitis and yeast infections (internal and external)
soon disappeared and her food allergies, exhaustion, and digestive
problems all began to heal.

After a few more months, her colds, flu, sore throats and on again
off again viral symptoms disappeared. Her hair which had fallen out
by the handfuls after her fifth surgery became thick and lustrous.
Her weight normalized, and her energy and strength came back. After
nearly 30 years of non-stop illness, Martha Christy was whole again.

What was this therapy that she had discovered? What was this therapy
that has helped seriously ill patients gain complete remissions from
their afflictions? What was it that she actually did?

Well, here it is. She orally and medicinally re-consumed her own
urine.

Whoa! Gag! She did what?

That's what I thought when I first heard about this. But I also
absolutely needed to know more. What I discovered is that urine is
not the substance we think it is. In her book, Martha Christy
explains what urine is....

In Layman's Language

Urine is not, as many believe, the excess water from food and liquids
that goes through the intestines and is ejected from the body
as "waste". It is much different and much more. When you eat, the
food you ingest is eventually broken down in the stomach and
intestines into extremely small molecules. These molecules are
absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and then pass
through these tubes into the blood stream.

The blood circulates throughout your body carrying these food
molecules and other nutrients, along with critical immune defense and
regulating elements such as red and white blood cells, antibodies,
plasma, microscopic proteins, hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all
manufactured at different locations in the body.

As the blood circulates, it passes through the liver where toxins are
removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste.
Eventually, this now purified "cleaned" blood makes its way to the
kidneys. When blood enters the kidneys it is filtered through an
immensely complex and intricate system of minute tubules called
nephron through which the blood is literally "squeezed" at high
pressure. This filtering process removes excess amounts of water,
salts and other elements in the blood that your body does not need at
the time.

These excess elements are collected within the kidney in the form of
a purified, sterile, watery solution called urine. Many of the
constituents of this filtered watery solution, or urine, are then
reabsorbed by the nephron and delivered back into the bloodstream.
The remainder of the urine passes out of the kidneys into the bladder
and is then excreted from the body.

The function of the kidneys is to keep the various elements in your
blood balanced. When your body doesn't need something at a particular
time, it is excreted - not because it is toxic or poisonous or bad
for the body, but simply because the body does not need that
particular element at the time.

Medical researchers have discovered that many of the elements of the
blood that are found in urine have enormous medicinal value, and when
reintroduced to the body, they boost the body's immune defenses and
stimulate healing in a way that nothing else does.

A Nutrient Rich Powerhouse

In 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A. H. Free,
published his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in
which he remarked that not only is urine a sterile body compound
(purer than distilled water), but that it is now recognized that
urine contains literally thousands of compounds. Among the urine
constituents mentioned in Dr. Free's treatise is a list of nutrients
that will knock your socks off. Here's just a few...

Alanine, Arginine, Ascorbic acid, Allantoin, Amino acids,
Bicarbonate, Biotin, Calcium, Creatinine, Cystine, DHEA, Dopamine,
Epinephrine, Folic acid, Glucose, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Inositol,
Iodine, Iron, Lysine, Magnesium, Manganese, Melatonin, Methionine,
Nitrogen, Ornithane, Pantothenic acid, Phenylalaline, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Proteins, Riboflavin, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, Urea,
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Zinc/

Stories have been told of individuals who have both lived and died by
being trapped in places without food and water for days. Those that
survived did so because they drank their own urine, those that
perished did not. The ones that died probably could not overcome the
mis-informed thoughts that urine is a waste product of the body. It's
not. It's just a substance the body secretes that contains elements
not needed at the time.

Despite what you may have been led to believe about urine,
pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the
sale of drugs made from urine constituents. Research is happening
every day in labs attempting to isolate specific elements of urine so
they can create new drugs and patent the substances. For instance,
Pergonal is a fertility drug made from human urine. 1992 sales of
this drug were reported at $855 million while it costs a patient
$1400 a month to consume. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in
drug form and sold as a miracle blood clot dissolver for unblocking
coronary arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best
moisturizers in the world, is packaged in expensive creams and
lotions. Take the M out of Murine eye drops and what do you have?
Yep. It's made from carbamide - another name for synthetic urea.

A Powerful Healer

To get some understanding of how urine can be such a powerful healing
substance in and of itself, let's take a look at how urine therapy
has been known to completely eliminate allergies.

We read where researchers have discovered that allergic responses are
caused by "renegade" white blood cells that inappropriately attack
substances even when they may be no threat to the body. So it is the
activity of these renegade white blood cells, called antigen
receptors, that needs to be corrected in order to cure the allergy.

In 1982, studies published by Dr. William Linscott (in Basic and
Clinical Immunology) showed that when these antigen receptors (or
renegade white blood cells) are reintroduced into the body, the body
actually developed antibodies to these antigen receptors, and the
antibodies then stopped the allergic response.

Realizing that the urine of allergic individuals contains the allergy
causing antigen receptors, researchers thought that to re-introduce
the urine back to the allergic individual would mean antibodies would
be produced which would then stop the allergic response. And that is
exactly what happens. Allergies have been completely turned around
with urine therapy.

Using urine in this way to cure the allergy, is one form of isopathic
treatment. You're using the same substance that is causing the
allergy, to be reintroduced to the body to have the body manufacture
its own antibody to it. If you grasp this point, you may be able to
see the ability of this therapy to be used in just about any illness
the body may experience.

More Electrons for Your Body

Most of the time when a measurement of any given urine sample's
oxidation and reduction reading (the ORP value) is taken, it often
shows the urine in a reduced state. Chemically this means that there
are more electrons (the charge is reduced in the negative direction).
We like to say that the flow of life moves on the flow of electrons.
If there are a lot of electrons in the urine, then where are they
coming from? Yep, from you. So if your papa ever said, child, you're
pissing your life away--might there be more to that statement then
meets the ears? Free electrons can be given to free radicals to fight
oxidation so perhaps urine therapy also works along these lines.
Something to think about. Or maybe it is just that things are better
the second time around - they've already been processed somewhat
once.

Concepts From the Isopathic Thinkers

To take this isopathic idea a bit further, let's come back to the
theories of Guenther Enderlein and his biological perspective. As
you'll recall, Enderlein developed remedies that were based on his
observations that how we get sick is a function of the blood pH
getting thrown off causing microbes in the blood to grow into
pathogenicity. His biological remedies involved re-introducing the
small colloids of life, or the protits, back into the body to mate
with the pathogenic forms so they would de-evolve back into a non-
pathogenic state. Mmm….

Now let's take this idea in relation to urine therapy and expand it
to meet this biological framework. Urine therapy has been able to
cure seemingly incurable disease states. Why is that? Well here's an
idea. The colloids in your blood that are the protits/somatids, are
very small particles. In fact they are so small as to be unfilterable
by something like the kidneys. Though researchers haven't been
looking, perhaps one of the invisible constituents of urine are these
colloid particles that naturally just get passed through the kidneys
out of the blood. When one consumes their own urine through the
process of urine therapy, they are receiving a dose of these pure
colloids. These biologically proceed to support the immune function,
and possibly lead to taking the pathogenic microbes in the blood back
down to apathogenic states. In this way, urine truly becomes the
body's own perfect medicine. Now Enderlein's theories have never been
proven using modern scientific procedures to verify his ideas, and at
some levels has been completely dis-proven, but nevertheless people
still believe them. Maybe the power of belief in this instance
overcomes what factually may not be real.

Open Minds Can Open Doors

Don't take this therapy lightly. Multiple sclerosis, colitis, lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, pancreatic
insufficiency, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis,
adrenal failure, allergies and so many other ailments have been said
to be relieved through use of this therapy. After you overcome your
initial gag response (I know I had one), you may realize that there
might just be something to this and if you are searching for health,
this is an area to investigate. There are numerous reports and double
blind studies which go back to the turn of the century supporting the
efficacy of using urine for health.

The recurring points to all of the medical research done to date on
urine indicates that it is completely sterile. If it becomes
contaminated it happens after it leaves the body. Urine is a by-
product of blood filtration, not waste filtration.

Urine contains compounds that are very specific to the individual
from which it comes. It is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral,
antineoplastic (anticancer), anticonvulsive, and antispasmodic. It is
totally non-toxic.

With research that could fill volumes, you may be wondering why you
haven't heard of this before. Well, urine is abundant (everyone has
their own supply), it's free, and it can't be patented. Reasons
enough?
