International Symposium on Self Healing Process of Mind and Body
4th World Conference on Urine Therapy
Sep 14-17, 2006
The organizing committee of Korea and Japan had a meeting on Jan 16,
2006 in order to discuss changes in both conference time and place.
The following is a summary from the meeting:
We were planning to hold the conference at the Natural Campus of
Sunkyunkwan University with strong supports from the Institute of
Biotechnology of Sungkyunkwan University and Suwon city. However, we
will not be able to host the conference as we planned because of
misunderstandings and some intentional hindrances from some of
faculty members in the Sungkyunkwan University. As such, the
organizing committee decided to change venue and time of the
conference. Although it is very disappointing to lose their supports,
we have a faith that our conference will be held successfully in
better place with the help of other supporters.
Why we want to host the conference in Korea?: A brief history of
urine therapy in Korea
Dong-eui-bo-gam, a famous Korean medical therapy book which was
written about 400 years ago, described about urine therapy in detail.
Also, Korean folks have practiced urine therapy for a long time. The
number of peoples practicing urine therapy is more than two million
today. Moreover the number of doctors who recommend urine therapy is
rapidly increasing in Korea. Especially, Judge Hwang at Ul-San
district court is now trying to reform Korean medical law through a
campaign since he has observed many problems in current medical laws.
Actually the reason we planned a session regarding a medical law
reform in the conference was to hear his special seminar
The conference will be held in September
Actually September is a better period of time for conference because
it is one of the best periods of time in terms of weather conditions
in Korea. It is also better time to travel to Korea because flight
fares in September will be cheaper than summer.

Accommodations
Traditionally Korean peoples share a room for a retreat or training
camp with other participants. Therefore, we are planning to follow
the Korean tradition by allocating basically 8 persons into one big
ONDOL room with a floor heating system. The room has toilet and
shower room. Although it will be little bit painful to those who are
used to sleeping in bed, we believe it will be a great opportunity to
experience Korean culture during the conference. Moreover, it will
help the attendee to interact and communicate with peers who love to
practice urine therapy. Allocation of room to each attendee will be
determined by the organizing committee based on the order of
registration. If you wish to use a room by your own, you need to pay
extra charge per day as listed below.
4 persons ONDOL room: 50,000Won
