The pleasant rewards of urine therapy, April 26, 2008
This review is from: Urine Therapy! Confessions Of A Mad Pee Drinker (Paperback)
This is a perky little book, rather compelling and to the point. I enjoyed reading it very much. Other books on Urine Therapy are more extensive and detailed, and we probably don't need many more of those, but this one gives us a more intimate revelation of one woman's personal experience with the process, especially the benefits.
I have read four or five other books on the subject a year or two ago, and all were worthwhile. But none of them ever mentioned the taste, the flavor of fresh urine, except for one that said it had a faint salty taste. When I started sipping urine more then 20 years ago, I vaguely remember licking a drop on my finger and perhaps yes, there may have well been a faint salty taste. But as I increased the amount from day to day its tart flavor predominated. It seemed to be a cousin of lemon juice or dilute vinegar, which are acidic; the one from citric acid, the other from acetic acid. Urine, of course contains uric acid. But it was more than that. Urine had its own distinctive flavor which I enjoyed very much, and was the main reason why I never stopped sipping it. Often,, after each morning's sip, I'd think, "This is delicious! I'll have another."
Since I like vinegar & olive oil as a salad dressing, it just occurred to me that I might try chilled urine & olive oil on salad! Over the years I've found that the flavor does vary a bit from time-to-time depending on our intake. Following a meal of beef the evening before, the urine has an unpleasant, bitter taste for example, and similarly, after a meal with asparagus, the flavor of asparagus pleasantly permeates the urine. I've tried it warm and cold, and each had its own enjoyable qualities. So when I discovered the therapeutic qualities of urine I did not hesitate to consume, without qualms, larger amounts daily.
I have read how some cultures seem to have accepted urine therapy for thousands of years, especially the people of India and China. One wonders how it ever got started. My vision of someone accidentally or deliberately peeing on their fingers and then licking them is not too convincing. I have a suspicion, though, that in the course of oral sexual activity one was more apt to have one's tongue come into contact with a bit of urine and was surprised at how tasty it was, and then.....
So if one can screw up the courage to taste that first itty bitty drop he or she will be handsomely rewarded.

Awful Book, September 11, 2010
This review is from: Urine Therapy! Confessions Of A Mad Pee Drinker (Paperback)
Save your money...the catchy title and the author name of "P.P. Powers" are the only things original or interesting about this book. It is very short and a high school student could do a better job of research etc.
I was definitely not impressed. The J.W. Armstrong book The Water of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy is an excellent, informative, and enjoyable read that is worth every penny!
