Have any of you ever heard of urine therapy? Its when people drink, thier own urine, and even use it topicaly. Could this be a good idea for acne? Urine is said to be antibacterial, antifungal, ect, and contain many nutrients, minerals ect. I heard that models use it to make their skin look good. Although, i tried it, and it didnt work. because acne has to be stopped at the source, which like Wai says, could be excess water retention. But this should be further looks into i think. Many people say that they have cured acne, and many other diseases by fasting on all of their urine, and only urine for long periods of time...

urine contains waste materials that need to be excreted from the body
For instance, if you could not, you would eventually die because of these toxins not being deported from your body
A major 'toxin' that is excreted by urinating, is ureum, which is formed from the more toxic substance ammonium, inside the body.
a limited amount of ureum is re-utilized to form non-essential amino acids, but their supply always exceeds the requirements

Also envrironmental toxins are released in the urine
Not a good idea to re-uptake them

What the medical world has learned the past decades, is that when you fight bacteria with any means, the effects are eventually always adverse; no matter whether you use drugs or 'natural'means to fight them; the bacteria eventually always overcome this resistence; they simply adapt, and come out stronger...
Bacteria are not the cause of acne, but the result of the accumulation of sebum in combination with an increased water pressure.

urine indeed contains minerals. These minerals are the ones the body wants to get rid of; excretion of minerals through urinating is an important way to prevent too high levels of minerals (the other is by adjusting the absorption rate)
So, not a good idea to re-uptake these...

maybe 1 or 2 do, but i can tell you from years of experience that models normally don't

even if that would work, it would still havoc your body because of the overload of toxins...

I have used it to wash clothes, gets them really clean, much better than bleach. I have heard that it does wonder on marble and other stones. Urine was used for a very longtime for cleaning floors, making sheets white. I have heard of people bathing in it, and I have tried it myself.
