What are the logistics for the urine therapy/urine fast? There is no specific information about the steps, just the overall idea. Do you only use your first pee, bottled and saved until run out or do you just use fresh throughout the day? Also, if you use the former how do you store it? Fridge or just bottled sitting out?

I am curious to try this out but want to make sure I am doing it right.

You're supposed to abstain from meat for a few days before hand. While on the actual fast I think you're to drink urine all day up until about six. You're only supposed to drink fresh urine so drink it as you pass it. Also, remember to keep yourself hydrated with water as well. When coming off the fast keep it light (homemade veggie broth) and work your way back up to fulls meals.

I haven't tried one yet this is just the jist of what it says in my book. Are you going to be trying it any time soon? If you pm pee pottery pete he might have better info as he's done several.

Anyone interested should do their OWN research, because depending on your circumstances (environment, diet, health, sex, etc.) urine therapy will/will not produce the outcomes you were hoping for. But here's a good website that'll give you a good idea of urine therapy...now all you have to do is read, reread, and take action. Take care 🙂

PS: MANY people give up after a short time because they break out, feel weird, see no difference, or are just plain lazy to make a worthwhile effort. Typically people break out at first because your body is essentially purging out the toxins, and therefore the acne. But whatever, do your research and don't depend on person A's outcome, since we're all different we're not all going to see the same results for everyone. OK? This worked for MANY people because they tend to be healthy to begin with.

Hey PePotteryPete. I was wondering if you are 100% clear. I am not sure if urine therapy works. I have been applying urine twice a day,

I use mid stream urine, I catch in morning in a bottle, use half of it in the morning, and the rest at night before I go to sleep and do the same the next day. I dont use any other topicals, (I have given up on topicals, waste of money and dissapointment). I have been applying urine for about 2.5 weeks, and have seen no difference what so ever. I am really dissapointed as I thought this would work, I had really high hopes. Did your acne clear using urine topically? Please help. Regards

The thing with urine therapy is you have to ingest as well. One day I woke up and said 'fuck it,' I've lived with acne for 10 years now and NOTHING has worked. So I drank my own pee (after much exhaustive research) practically out of lost hope and started a urine fast. In all I think I did 4 urine fasts (and 3 water fasts) just in the past year. My last urine fast was in June (7 days), and since then I would say 90% of my acne is gone. Now mind you, I had acne all over my upper back, neck, chest, and face. My chest, back, and neck are clear, but I still get a few zits on my face though. This is something I don't mind at all because it's not nearly as bad as it was before, and also I don't get any cystic acne anymore. Plus I can show off my body again without worries.

I'm thinking if I do another fast for 2 weeks I would be completely clear, but I have school and work so I can't afford to lose days anymore. Anyway, have any open mind and do your research on it. The combo of urine fasts AND a mostly raw diet is what pretty much saved my skin from any further acne breakouts. These days I do occasionally eat crappy foods (chinese, pizza, etc) but since my body has adapted to healthier foods, it doesn't react negatively like before. All in all it's a worthwhile (albeit a little long) process, but for me urine fasting was totally worth it. I plan to do the occasional fast twice a year, just to keep my body in check. Hope this helps.

really battling acne for 10 years? Doesnt it just get old? You need to try something else in my opinion its not just going to stop over night.. I battled it for 5 years.. Im on Accutane right now and I can honestly say I have NO side effects other than chapped lips and dried skin..

And to clear up 'Labgirl'...

"Actually urine is a waste product. It's the product of out bodies' excratory systems...."

Yes. Yes it is. Just because the internal organs don't want it, it doesn't mean the external ones don't.

An example is fertilizer. I'm sure eating chicken shit won't help us. But it helps plants thanks to the nitrogen and phosphate. Each organ craves different nutrients.

"chemically there isn't much in urine would could cure acne.......the slight antimicorbial action and the excess of water soluble vitamins don't do much......the solutes in urine are just that solutes.....in water....."

Urine is just constituted of vitamins. And if you knew what solubility meant, you'd know it was a good thing. You mention that urine is mostly made of water. Well thanks to the excremental hypothesis of the quasi-superficial epidermal, it will filter the 'solutes'. If it were fat soluble, then it wouldn't go as far, like your somewhat-inefficient retinoid derivatives.

"Water soluble molecules have a hell of a time pasing through the epidermal lipid barrier......fat soluble molecues penetrate with greater ease......so exactly what does applying to to skin do????"

But that's the point. The barrier removes the covalent bond with water. A nice, clean filter.

"That's where the good stuff is......lipid soluble metabolites like the metabloites of vitamin A, like trans- retinoic acid, cis-9-retinoic acid, cis-11-retinoic acid, and cis-13-retinoic acid (Isotretionin) are found in feces.....not urine.......But who in their right mind would put feces on their face???...... "

The good stuff? Oral retinoids will yank your neurotransmitters 5-hydroxy-tryptamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, epinephrine, GABA, acetylcholine, and all the rest considerable amounts for the rest of your life. Providing you're at the threshold limit for it to work on you. Thyroid levels go down, which slows metabolism. Synapses shrink to pathetic sizes, hence the migraines. I won't bother going further.............

OMG!!!!! Frist of all the epidermis doesn't filter out solutes from solution.....they say in solution and the solution must pass through the epidermal lipid barrier, since water and water soluble molecules can't pass though the lipid barrier easily they need to pass through the corenocytes of the stratum corneum......which have thick cell envlopes that make penetration almost impossible.........Um and when I said "good stuff" I was referring to topical and oral retinoids.......retinoic acid blows allantoin out of the water in efficiency........

 

And this is what urine contains:

Alanine, total ..... 38 mg/day

Arginine, total ..... 32 mg/day

Ascorbic acid ..... 30 mg/day

Allantoin ..... 12 mg/day

Amino acids, total ..... 2.1 g/day

Bicarbonate ..... 140 mg/day

Biotin ..... 35 mg/day

Calcium ..... 23 mg/day

Creatinine ..... 1.4 mg/day

Cystine ..... 120 mg/day

Dopamine ..... 0.40 mg/day

Epinephrine ..... 0.01 mg/day

Folic acid ..... 4 mg/day

Glucose ..... 100 mg/day

Glutamic acid ..... 308 mg/day

Glycine ..... 455 mg/day

Inositol ..... 14 mg/day

Iodine ..... 0.25 mg/day

Iron ..... 0.5 mg/day

Lysine, total ..... 56 mg/day

Magnesium ..... 100 mg/day

Manganese ..... 0.5 mg/day

Methionine, total ..... 10 mg/day

Nitrogen, total ..... 15 g/day

Ornithine ..... 10 mg/day

Pantothenic acid ..... 3 mg/day

Phenylalanine ..... 21 mg/day

Phosphorus, organic ..... 9 mg/day

Potassium ..... 2.5 mg/day

Proteins, total ..... 5 mg/day

Riboflavin ..... 0.9 mg/day

Tryptophan, total ..... 28 mg/day

Tyrosine, total ..... 50 mg/day

Urea ..... 24.5 mg/day

Vitamin B6 ..... 100 mg/day

Vitamin B12 ..... 0.03 mg/day

Zinc ..... 1.4 mg/day

[in 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A.H. Free, published his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice]

Have fun finding a medication with that amount of ingredients for the same price. :dance:

Could you do me a favor and tell me exactly what each of those substances does to the skin (nevermind the fact that most of them can't penetrate beyond the upper layers of the stratum corneum)....and exactly how each of those actully influences comedo formation and sebum production.........

And they seen to be in such a low concentration ....how in the world would they do anything?.........and I dount that that list is all that urine contains........it depends on if you smpke or drink alcohol.....injest caffine......and how much water you drink.....whatever medications you are on and you diet in general.......

I know what retinoids do....but I'm not sure about all that other stuff....(I have put allantoin on my skin.....it helps heal wounds).....Please explain.......

K thanks....

 

Why chat about all this mumbo jumbo scientific shit in an alternative treatment post? I don't even suffer from acne and I use piss on my face because it makes your skin look great. The bottom line is, piss is free and does a great job for just about everything. The only reason it isn't commercially recognised is because it would put so many people out of a job. Think about your GP - Is he/she going to say "Hey, use piss on your face, it's really effective and doesn't cost a thing" or are they going to say "Use this retonoid for however long then come back and see me ... because I know it will hardly work and you are making sure I get paid my 80k a year"? It's kind of a no brainer in my opinion. And anyway, back to the real point, why come onto this lads post just to slate him and what he does?

Well I'm glad for you that it's working. But I would still never try it. Just like you probably wouldn't ever try pee. No point trying to convince each other.

I honestly don't know why people feel the need to say something rude or negative about it. It's almost as though it actually makes them mad that we're trying something that they can't wrap their heads around. Thanks for sticking up for us, lol. 🙂

Just thought I'd pop in for a quick update ^_^

 

I've been using UT for about a week now. My skin feels so soft ^_^

 

Some of you may know that I've tried the caveman regimen. It DOES work, and I DO consider this part of an all-natural regimen. The reasons why I'm not going through all the flaking and rashes is because A) I'm too much of a wuss, and B) I'm a girl, and I feel extremely self-conscious. So I'm not abandoning it.

 

Anyway, I have extremely sensitive skin. I broke out and got chemical burns when I finally got so frustrated with my very mild yet stubborn acne and used a harsh product, and ended up with moderate acne all over my face. My skin has always been this way. Every day I drink a lot of water and moisturize everywhere, yet I can be driving, and if the A/C is blowing on my hands, they can dry out severely.

 

Crazy, huh?

 

Well, Urine is both beneficial and pH balanced, so no harm done.

 

 

I find it more and more bearable to drink as the days pass, and as long as I keep my diet clean and low sodium, it has little flavor. The crap from the water we drink is filtered in our bodies and the toxins are removed through our feces, so urine is purer than water. It also hydrates significantly better.

 

I apply fresh urine several times a day on days that I stay home. I will decrease application as time goes on and before I go back to school.

 

This is probably the most disgusting part of the regimen, and it's only optional. I think it speeds the process.

Basically, I take 2 c of Urine and boil it down to about 1/4-1/8 consistency. The smell is appallingly disturbing, but it's worth it.

At first your skin will look worse. This is the purging most people experience around the 2 week point, but accelerated. That's what happened to me.

 

How do I know that my skin was purging and not breaking out?

 

-They were all old zits coming to a head

-My skin still somehow managed to glow

-Blackheads on my nose are practically disappearing

 

 

I won't say this will cure me, or that it will cure you, because I don't want to jinx it or jump the gun xD But I still feel pretty good about it.

Back with an update.

Background, I am in my 40s have very bumpy skin and get a few additional hormone caused pimples twice monthly. They are generally under the corners of my mouth and on my temples and upper back. I have very sensitive skin and cannot use most acne products or aggressively wash. I use Cetaphil only.

I started using urine on my face 5 days ago, at a time when the end of the month zits were expected and a bad mid month break out was just clearing. It has also been quite a bit warmer this week than previously.

I chose to pee right on a cotton pad and apply it directly to my face. Very simple. I do this in the evening only. The first two nights, I was conscious of it being there and washed it off after a few minutes. After that I just left it there and went to bed.

I find it to be slightly drying and need to use a lot of lip balm even though I am careful to keep it away from my mouth. I dont smell it at all, wet or dry and dont smell it in the garbage can either. (where I throw away the pads after use)

I fully expected to come back here and say I found zero benefit. The pimples that were almost gone cleared up completely, and no new zits have emerged except for one on my chin that has decided to retreat. Some of the little bumps have turned into hard balls and cleared.

My face isnt completely clear but there is noticeable improvement. I intend to continue at least a couple of weeks.

Congratulations!!! Good luck and keep us posted!

For my own little update...

I woke up this morning with almost all of my existing acne as only tiny little pustules. 😮

So little inflammation!

This might be the answer. I think I'm past the purge, and for clear skin maybe? :pray:

Good on you for keeping an open mind and trying this supposed 'extreme' method. I hope that it will pave the way for something greater in the future. Just keep remembering that it's not just the external factors that will make a difference, but also internal (mental, spiritual) workings that will help you combat these pesky little disturbances that invade your life. I've read your other posts in other forums within acne.org, and I must say that you truly seem like an honest, compassionate person. :)

 

UPDATE: I'm going to start this again real soon. During the winter break I will do a 2-week urine fast. So yeah 14 days of nothing but drinking my piss. I've done it for 10 days before but this time I will be MUCH more mentally prepared. I'll try to keep a log.

Remember when the Canadians used urine on their mouths to survive when the Germans used the gas attack on them. Probably not, since most of you dont study Canadian history(no offence).

 

Urine has cures for some things we don't even know urine cures yet. I'm glad to see someone is trying this. Let me know how it goes.

Ok. So this is for anyone who is struggling with acne that is willing to try this new urine therapy technique. I am a real guy age 19 who has struggled with moderate acne for 4 to 5 years. Everytime I looked in the mirror I wondered why me. Everyday I see other teens with clear faces who eat worse than me, drink more sodas than i do, and don't shower and wash their face as much as I do. For the past few months I have been aggressively addressing my medical condition. My parents have done what they could by taking me to dermatologists where I have been given pills and gels. It worked for a while but then lost it's effectiveness to fight my acne. I have tried home remedys such as apple cider vinegar and salt water. They may help you more than me, but i didn't see too much of a difference. When it comes to using your own urine to clear up acne it takes some adjusting too. I won't lie to you, I was very hesitant at first because it seemed unclean and just wrong. But I got tired of dealing with breakouts and honestly was willing to try anything to have a clear face. I use a cloth to dab small amounts of urine onto my acne and immediately it seemed to help reduce the size and amount of acne on my face. Please don't let others keep you from trying things to heal your irritating acne. Their oppinions do not matter. What does is what your face looks and feels like. I am still experimenting but I would recommend urine therapy if you are tired of moderate to bad acne. Staying away from fried foods and fast foods is always a good idea if you have consistant acne. If you live at a beach go swimming often as saltwater always heals. Colgate toothpaste seems to help as a overnight mask for me as well. A very important player in using your urine in my opinion is to have clean urine. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and that alone will help cleanse the toxins throughout your body that cause acne. Obviously I would not advise meeting up with your friends smelling like strait urine. That would not be to pleasant. When you have time at your house try it. I don't have body acne so I don't know if helps with that but you could try. It isn't that disgusting after your first try. It might help you, or it may not, but I can assure you I would rather try using my urine to ease my acne than to just deal with an annoying problem like acne. Remember don't ever let acne keep you from having fun because we know you only live once. It isn't your fault and will eventually go away. Hope this helped and good luck!

UT has been found to work very well for people with acne and cystic acne. It really doesn't disgust me at all to find that people put urine on their face to help treat their acne. I just started using it and my face stung a bit for the first few minutes but, it calms down afterwards. As for the smell, I put two cotton balls in my nostrils and wait for the urine to dry. Therefore you won't be able to smell the urine while it is still wet.

 

Many high profile people us UT and I wouldn't knock it. Many Brazilian MMA fighters use it, including Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva. Two of the best in my opinion.

Two of the best...period. I'm glad to hear two of my biggest sports heroes are all for UT. Also one of my favorite commentators, Joe Rogan, has done UT. When I say UT (urine therapy), I mean actually drinking your own piss btw.

I've been doing this on and off but I'm definitely gonna go at it again, with more focus and energy! But nowadays I do UT strictly for health benefits and spiritualism.

So is it recommended to stop using the facial cleansers i'm currently using while i give UT a try?

 

there is some BP in the regimen i am on now, and i haven't much results. pretty standard for any type of facial products i use *sigh*.

 

 

edit - how do i go about starting this? doing some googling there seems to be differences of opinions. should i drink my urine in the morning (all of it or some? add anything to it?) and apply it to my face?

 

when i do that do i let it sit and soak in and not rinse it off at all?

does the smell linger?

would i be able to cloak it with my aftershave moisturizer?

should i drink urine twice a day, morning and evening? apply it twice a day to my skin?

 

anybody who has does this, care to share how you started and what you are doing?

 

edit 2: i drank urine last night before going to sleep, wasn't too bad, but my morning urine today was ugh didn't drink it. doing some more googling it seems morning urine is the best to drink for urine therapy?

 

 

 

any help is appreciated.

I've been a lurker on this board for awhile and now that I've found a solution to my acne...I decided to sign up and share it with u ppl.

 

Here's my story with UT:

 

First of all, I have mild to moderate acne (more to the mild side).

I'm currently a freshman in college...but I just started getting acne near the end of senior year (april/may ish). just right in time for prom... :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, I've tried a lot of drugstore cleansers/medication, but that made my skin worse.

Went to the doctor's and she told me I didn't need accutane, so she prescribed minocycline.

Took that for a month. Also used Retin-A with it...

Didn't notice any changes except that the topical gel (Retin-A) made my spots go darker.

 

By about July, I got really frustrated and decided to look up some home remedies.

Tried the ACV+honey+sugar thing...that didn't work.

Tried the olive oil thing...that didn't work.

Tried the asprin mask...that didn't work.

 

Finally, I saw Urine Therapy, right here on the acne.org message boards.

My first reaction was like "there is no way I'm going to do that"...

A few weeks later I decided to try it.

I've been using UT for about...2 1/2 months, and I'd say my acne is all gone.

I'll give you my regimen, and then a few quick notes about UT.

My Regimen

1) Wake up

2) Wash face with a mild cleanser

3) Put urine in a small container

4) Put on gloves (lol..I don't know why I do this...it feels cleaner this way)

5) Get makeup remover pads and spread it onto areas that are affected

6) Let it soak in

7) Change clothes, eat breakfast, etc.

8) Rinse off before going out (I sometimes forget to do this step, but no one notices..:)

9) Come back home, and repeat steps 2-6

10) Before I go to bed, I also repeat steps 2-6

 

So basically, I do UT three times a day.

I do not drink the urine though...I only use it topically.

 

Quick Notes:

- I do not have the courage to tell ppl about UT. People have been asking me what I've been using, but I tell them I just changed my diet, got more sleep..etc. which is half the truth

- When on UT, you MUST have a good, proper diet. Cut away all those greasy, fried, microwaveable stuff. And eat lots of veggies. AND drink lots of water.

- I've heard from other ppl that their pee smells. Mine doesn't...and I believe it's because of the clean diet I'm eating

- I've also read from this forum that some ppl on UT might get back lots of acne by week2 (or something) but that never happened to me

- UT doesn't work for red marks, or old acne scars unfortunately...

 

that's all for now.

I'll add more later if I feel there's something missing.

So don't be afraid people.

Everyone should try it. It's just another home remedy.

And don't get discouraged if it doesn't work for you.

As for me, right now I'm trying to get rid of my red acne marks.

and I hope they go away sooooon.

i did this and noticed that it really work and bort the acne to head.. meaning that i had white heads on my skin were it was red and a pimple was goin to form... i'v been doing this for a while now... prob bout 3 weeks and it kinda works ... so would recommend it ...

 

yeh so going bak to UT...

yeh soo i fort about the idea of urine and fort wat would i hav to lose and that i should be brave and just try it...

so yes i been trying it now for about 1 week i would hav to say... and would hav to say that makes very nice... it makes it glow... i mean i have acne in certain areas... i don't have it on my forhead at all an in some areas on my cheeks and stuff i don't ... but along my jaw lines have VERY bad acne... so yeh the area that i don't have acne showed much more clarity.. like it evened out my skin...

atm i don't know wat to say about it... i mean it only been a week and i had quite a lot of acne around my jaw line like more has occurred... but i remember something my doctor said to me ages ago when i got some perscribed medicine form him.... he said that it would get a little worse before it gets better because all the pimples that are going to come out like a week later are coming out now... so i guess u hav to be patient...

 

im very please about coming across this discussion of UT as i wasn't sua if i was doing the right thing of puttin urine on my face !!! so i gives me a sense of hope i guess i could say... :rolleyes: ... so i had to join an post this...

 

also... can anyone also giv a advice on wat cleanser would be the best to use... atm im not using any cleanser as i was using proactiv bt not anymore... 1/ because its to expensive 2/ it didn't really work .... so im jus currently using a face clothe that i soak with hot water an rub my face with (should i even do that !! :shock: )....

Had no idea urine therapy had it's own review page here at acne.org. Check it out and quit 'pissing' on others who try this method (you know who you are):

I tried UT a couple of weeks ago because I'm tired of being 25 yrs old and still having acne. Here's a little history: I used to always get cystic acne and recently I found out that sugar is a major (or the main) contributor. In May I tried an organic skin care line. After a month of using that I broke out with blackheads all on my temples and starting breaking out on my neck right under my jawline (both of which has never happened). I thought maybe it was 1/2 gallon ice cream I ate within a week or so (no added sugar, so I supposed the dairy did it). It's October and I still have some temple blackheads and a little bit of neck acne. I'm thinking maybe the oils from the skin care did it. ?? I quit the skin care and figured I might as well try UT. I'm getting married in 8 months so I'm trying to find something fast!

I broke out! :( Really bad on my forehead (I used to never get it on my forehead) and a LOT along my jawline. I never used to have so many red bumps all over my face.

My question is... do people normally experience an initial breakout? I tried UT for 2 wks and quit because my acne worsened rapidly. I know it probably takes longer than that to find a solution but I couldn't handle it.

The first morning after I tried it I felt my face and RAN to the restroom because the bumps I had went down!!! But it was all downhill from there. :(

I haven't done UT in a few nights and my face has calmed down. I really wanted it to be my miracle cure. haha.

I wouldn't knock Urine Therapy people. It helps with acne a lot if applied topically. It has helped cleared up my severe cystic outbreaks, made my face smoother, and has helped fade the red marks. It has no side effects what so ever (unless you chose to drink your urine in the morning, which will cause a slight stomach ache.) Urine has such a bad stigma to it that people find it gross. But it is sterile and is great for the skin. I'd chose UT over accutane anyday (which accutane may cause some side effects that can be fatal.)

Oh, I remember doing this a few years back. I did it for a month and a half I believe.

That's when I had really bad acne. It didn't work for me. Just remember, don't eat asparagus while doing this. Unless you like the smell. :D

So i've been struggling with acne for a number of years now.. i'm 18.. and i guess i've finally had enough of products that don't work.. i've tried clearasil, neutrogena acne stress control.. proactiv and numerous others.

none of them fully cleared my acne and i have moderate acne and really bad breakouts every month.

i guess i stumbled on using urine for acne on this site so i decided i'd try it since i was soo fed up with everything else.

i've been using it for a week now and my skin is soo much better, pretty much almost clear and i haven't seen it like this in so long, it feels great.

basically i really encourage anyone who has been struggling with it to try it.. fresh urine or one - 3 day old urine works too? even though the smell gets really bad.. but point is it honestly clears up your skin and evens out the tone of it.

i also changed my eating habits.. i stopped eating greasy foods and try to eat an apple a day and stay away from a lot of dairy products.

that might of helped too.

so i definitely recommend this :)
