Your Own Perfect Medicine
by Martha Christy
You may think that when it comes to alternative health therapies -
you've heard it all.

But there is one natural therapy you've probably never heard of -
even though it's one of the most powerful, most researched and most
medically proven natural cures ever discovered.

No matter how hard it may be for you to stomach, the fact is that
knowing the truth about this incredible natural substance will be one
of the most crucial health facts you'll ever learn. And one of the
most remarkable things about this incomparable natural therapy is
that the medical community has already been aware of its astounding
efficacy for decades, and yet none of us has ever been told about it.
Why? Maybe they think it's too controversial. Or maybe, more
accurately, there wasn't any monetary reward for telling people what
scientists know about one of the most extraordinary natural healing
elements in the world.

But no matter why the medical establishment has chosen to keep his
invaluable information a secret, it's time that every man, woman and
child be told about the only health tool in the world that is always
available to everyone and never out of reach - physically or
financially. So I want you to sit back, open your mind and get ready
to hear the incredible medical facts about human urine - the facts
that will change your life.

What You Don't Know Can Hurt You
Every one of us has a right to know that our bodies produce an
invaluable source of nourishment and healing that we can utilize to
heal ourselves and to maintain our lives and our health in both
everyday circumstances and in emergencies and life-threatening
situations.

Two news articles from the past that recently came across my desk
vividly illustrate the absolutely tragic consequences of the public's
lack of information and our completely unfounded misconceptions
regarding our bodies' own perfect medicine:

Tom Brokaw, NBC Nightly News, October 16, 1992:

"In Egypt, rescue workers found a 37-year-old man alive in earthquake
rubble. He survived almost 82 hours by drinking his own urine. His
wife, daughter and mother would not and they died."

Associated Press, July, 1985:

I don't think there's any question that these women and the child
would not have died had they simply been aware of the truth that not
only would their own urine not harm them, but would, in fact, have
provided a power-packed combination of liquid nutrients and critical
immune factors that would have sustained them in good health until
help arrived.

The Medical Proof
For almost the entire course of the 20th century, unknown to the
public, doctors and medical researchers have been proving in both
laboratory and clinical testing that our own urine is an enormous
source of vital nutrients, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical
antibodies that cannot be duplicated or derived from any other
source. They use urine for healing cancer, heart disease, allergies,
auto-immune diseases, diabetes, asthma, infertility, infections,
wounds and on and on -- yet we're taught that urine is a toxic waste
product. This discrepancy between the medical truth and the public
information regarding urine is ludicrous and, as the news releases
you've just read demonstrate, can mean the difference between life
and death to you and to your loved ones.

When I contracted a crippling, incurable disease early in life, I
used every available conventional medical and alternative healing
method over the course of many years without success. When an
acquaintance suggested I try "urine therapy" I though she'd lost her
mind, but with no options left, I swallowed my prejudice and decided
to give it a go. To my own (and everyone else's) amazement, my
healing was so rapid and so profound with urine therapy that no
question remained in my mind that someone in the medical community
had to know more than they were telling about this incredible body
substance. And as a matter of fact, they did know more - a lot more.

After many months of haunting university libraries, scanning
countless microfiche files and poring over piles of medical journals,
I had amassed a small mountain of astounding research studies,
findings and files on the use of urine in medicine and healing, I
discovered, among numerous other things, that urine, far from being a
toxic body waste, was actually a purified derivative of the blood
made by the kidneys which contains, not body wastes, but rather an
incredible array of critically important nutrients, enzymes,
hormones, natural antibodies and immune defense agents.

At the end of it all, as I sat tiredly in my chair eyeing the stacks
of research papers covering my desk, I realized that the medical
community had pulled off one of the biggest hoodwinks in history.
Take for instance the doctor who reported that "urine acts as an
excellent and safe natural vaccine and has been shown to cure a wide
variety of disorders including hepatitis, whooping-cough, asthma, hay
fever, hives, migraines, intestinal dysfunctions, etc. It is
completely safe and causes no side effects." (J. Plesch, M.D., The
Medical Press, 1947); or the oncologist who reported that "a patient
with intractable ovarian cancer was treated with Human Urine
Derivative and is now completely well and enjoying the rest of her
life." (Dr. M. Soeda, University of Tokyo, 1968). These remarkable
findings were published in medical journals - but did you ever hear
about them?

And what about the immunologist who, after extensive clinical and
laboratory research stated: "It was rapidly appreciated that
undiluted urine administered orally was therapeutically effective for
Immune Therapy and was initiated when it became obvious that an
allergic condition had become uncontrollable." (Dr. C.W. Wilson,
1983, Law Hospital, Scotland). Or the Harvard medical researchers who
discovered that active "antibodies to cholera, typhoid, diphtheria,
pneumonia, polio, leptospira and salmonella have been found in the
unconcentrated urine of infected individuals." (Lerner, Remington &
Finland, Harvard Medical School, 1962). What abut the Scandinavian
researcher who, in 1951, conclusively proved that human urine can
completely destroy tuberculosis? It's a deadly disease, and is now
resistant to antibiotics. Isn't it time someone told us that our own
urine is medically proven to be anti-tubercule?

Then there's the research into wounds and burns using urea (the
primary solid component of urine). As only one research study among
many reported: "In America, urea has been used for the treatment of
various infected wounds and it has been found to be extremely
efficient...even the deepest wound can be treated effectively....
Urea treatment has been successful where other treatments have
failed. For external staph infections we found urea preferable to any
other dressing...there are no contra-indications to its use." (Dr. L.
Muldavis, 1938, Royal Free Hospital, London).

Now these medical reports are only a few of the more than 50 research
studies I compiled and published in the book Your Own Perfect
Medicine, but they certainly give an indication of the importance of
what we've never been told about urine by the medical community. As
far back as 1954, the Journal of the American Medical Association
(July issue) reported that "More scientific papers have probably been
published on urine than on any other organic compound." Another
publication revealed that "more than 1,000 technical and scientific
papers, related only to low molecular weight substances in urine,
appeared in medical and scientific literature in one single year."
All this fuss about a substance that we're told is nothing more than
a body waste?

I think one of the most interesting pieces of information on urine I
came across was the fact that the amniotic fluid that surrounds human
infants in the womb is primarily urine. Actually, the
infant "breathes in" urine-filled amniotic fluid continually, and
without this fluid, the lungs don't develop. Doctors also believe
that the softness of baby skin and the ability of in-utero infants to
heal quickly without scarring after pre-birth surgery is due to the
therapeutic properties of the urine-filled amniotic fluid.

Reports on the extraordinary external benefits of urine abound as
well. Medical studies relate remarkable cases of stubborn
or "incurable" chronic, severe eczema that miraculously disappear
with urine therapy. Because urine is both anti-viral and anti-
bacterial, it's ideal for treating cuts, wounds and abrasions of all
kinds. Acne, rashes, athlete's foot and fungal skin problems respond
dramatically to urine soaks and compresses as well. (You'll find
complete instructions for using urine therapy internally and
externally in Your Own Perfect Medicine.)

For home use or emergency treatment care for wounds, poisonous bites
or stings, and even broken bones, urine is an incomparable, proven
natural healing agent that provides instantaneous therapeutic
benefits under any circumstances.

For years, people have said to me, "Well, I have heard of people
surviving by ingesting their own urine, but I thought it was just a
myth." Myth it isn't. Medical fact it is. As Dr. John R. Herman
remarked in his article which appeared in the New York State Journal
of Medicine in June, 1980: "Auto-uropathy (urine therapy) did
flourish in many parts of the world and continues to flourish
today....there is unknown to most of us, a wide usage of uropathy and
a great volume of knowledge available showing the multitudinous
advantages of this modality. Actually, the listed constituents of
human urine can be carefully checked and no items not found in human
diet are found in it. Percentages differ, but urinary constituents
are valuable to human metabolism."

Your Body's Own Super-Nutrition Therapy
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 thousands of compounds, and as new, more sensitive
analytical tools evolve, it is quite certain that new constituents of
urine will be recognized." Among the urine constituents mentioned in
Dr. Free's revealing treatise is a list of nutrients that will knock
your socks off. As Dr. Free comments, the ingredients listed below
are only a few critical nutrients found in urine:

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

As you read over this extraordinary list of nutritional elements, you
can begin to understand why the stories you may have heard of people
surviving on their own urine are true. But what about other elements
in urine that you've heard about?

Clearing Up the Misconceptions
If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is, he or she
would invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste. No so, say
medical researchers at the University of California at Berkeley who
in 1982 reported they had discovered that "uric acid destroys body-
damaging, cancer-causing free radicals and is considered to be one of
the physiological factors that enable human beings to live so much
longer than other mammals."

But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff
that causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers
discovered many decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body
waste, is an incredibly versatile, far-reaching and effective
medicinal agent. In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea
is one of the most potent non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered.
In one particular study, the rabies and polio virus [sic] were killed
so quickly and efficiently by concentrated urea, that even the
laconic researchers themselves were surprised: "Urea is such a
relatively inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic poison
such as are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising
that rabies and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions"
(McKay & Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936).

In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities.
Because of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic (anti-
tumor) properties, it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs and
is extensively studied for use in cancer treatments. The urea
compound drug, glicazide, is used successfully by the medical
establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-
dependent diabetics.

As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and
accepted treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess
cerebral and spinal pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even
premenstrual edema and many other disorders in which excess fluid is
a problem. As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient
who nearly died form complications following brain surgery: "Urea was
administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20 minutes
from the start of injection, her blood pressure had returned to
normal....from this time on her recovery was uneventful. In this
case, urea was definitely life-saving, because prior to its
administration, the patient's survival was unlikely. In many similar
instances urea was found to be life-saving" (Dr. M. Javid, University
of Wisconsin).

The Physiological Answer to a Therapeutic Mystery
The medical findings on urine and urine constituents are
overwhelming, and yet it's difficult for most people to understand
why our bodies excrete elements that are so obviously valuable to
human health and well-being.

The commonly-asked question, "If your urine is so good for you, why
does your body excrete it?" is best answered by looking into how our
kidneys function. As your blood moves through the circulatory system,
it flows through the kidneys at a rate of about 1200 ml of blood per
minute. Inside the kidneys, the blood is continuously filtered
through a huge system of minute tubules called nephron which sift out
excess water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salts, and hundreds of
other elements including vital antibodies, urea and uric acid.

A large portion of these key physiological elements are reabsorbed
into the bloodstream, but a certain amount of critical blood
constituents are pooled by the kidney into a liquid which doctors
refer to as a "plasma ultrafiltrate" (we call it urine). Much of this
sterile, nutrient filled ultrafiltrate, or urine, is reabsorbed and
some remains in the kidney for a period of time and is eventually
released into a tube called the urethra which empties the urine into
the bladder where it is finally excreted. Now you're probably
wondering why the body excretes valuable nutrients, water, hormones,
enzymes, etc. that are critical to body functioning. Doesn't it make
more sense to retain these elements? If urine is a collection of such
life-sustaining elements, why does the body get rid of it?

The answer is that the kidneys excrete a portion of urine as a way of
removing certain key elements in your blood that are simply not
needed at a specific point in time. For instance, you've just been
out jogging. You come home and have one or two big glasses of water
to drink. Now at this point you've probably taken in more water than
your body actually needs. But not to worry -- your kidneys will
balance the amount of water delivered into your bloodstream by your
copious water drinking and through the urine will excrete whatever
amount of water from the blood that isn't needed at the time.

Now water is certainly a life-sustaining element the body cannot do
without. So why is it excreted from the body? The answer is obvious.
There are times when there's too much water in your system and it
needs to be excreted.

It's a physiological fact that in order for us to function normally,
the amounts or concentrations of every element in our blood must be
carefully and strictly controlled and this is done by the kidneys.
Too much water in the blood is fatal. Too much salt in the blood is
deadly. As wonderful a nutrient as vitamin C is, too high a
concentration of it or any nutrient could kill you. This is why the
kidneys excrete valuable elements from the body -- too much of any
good thing isn't good for your health.

The same is true of urea. People who have heard of uremic poisoning
are surprised when they read the medical research showing urea to be
a widely-used, FDA-approved medicine. But just like any other element
in the blood, urea only becomes dangerous to the body when the
kidneys are damaged or diseased and can't properly balance the amount
of urea (and all other substances) in the bloodstream.

Your kidneys aren't doing damage to your body by getting rid of
particular excess nutrients, they're just simply excreting the
precise amount not presently needed by your body at a given time. And
the same goes for practically every nutrient, enzyme, hormone,
antibody, etc. that are critical to your survival -- the kidneys keep
what your body needs at a certain time, and excretes what it isn't
momentarily using into your urine. And as medical scientists and
doctors have discovered, these urinary ingredients extracted from the
blood can be therapeutic magic bullets.

A Billion Dollar Industry
Despite what the public has been led to believe about urine,
pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the
sale of drugs made from urine constituents. Pergonal, a fertility
drug made from human urine, earned a reported $855 million in sales
in 1992, and sales ($1400 a month per patient) have increased yearly.
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 has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in
expensive, glamorized creams and lotions. Ever used Murine ear drops?
They're made from carbamide -- another name for synthetic urea.

When you look at the real facts, the tragedy of the general
disinformation campaign on urine is surpassed only by the irony of
our unwitting, and often incredibly expensive purchases of what we
all mistakenly but firmly believe to be our bodies' "useless"
and "offensive" waste-product, urine.

New Acceptance for a Misunderstood Therapy
Because of the nearly all-pervasive public misunderstanding about
what urine is and how it can be of immense medical benefit to us, the
often amazing anecdotal stories of healing and survival via urine
have been routinely ignored, ridiculed or have been written off
as "old wives' tales." But when people learn the real facts, these
stories take on a significance that not even doctors are now willing
to ignore.

Since the first release of Your Own Perfect Medicine, rather than the
doubt and derision I expected to encounter, I was amazed at the tens
of thousands of people who have willingly accepted the information in
the book. Many people (including doctors) have come forward to tell
me about their own experiences or about news stories they've read
that tell about using urine medicinally and in survival situations:

Dr. David G. Williams, Alternative Newsletter, August, 1994:

"Several months ago I watched the movie Alive. It's the true story of
a South American soccer team whose airplane crashed in snow-capped
mountains in the dead of winter. The team was stranded for a couple
months and survived only by eating the flesh of those who had died
either during the crash or later from injuries. A portion of the
movie focused on two individuals whose initial wounds progressed into
serious infections.

Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt
to comfort them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the
intense suffering of these people made me wonder if there was more
that could have been done to save them. I now feel it's very possible
that these two people, and thousands of others around the world would
still be alive if they had been aware of the therapeutic effects of
urine.

With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the
additional antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and
more."

Dr. William Hitt, Clinica Hitt, Mexico

January, 1995

"Experience has shown that intramuscular injections of urine are the
best methods for handling a myriad of immunological illnesses
including psoriasis, basal call carcinoma, asthma and many other
disorders."

Reuter Report

August 14, 1990

"Four Sri Lankan commandos who drifted in a boat more than 1,000
miles to Thailand after they had been ambushed and given up for dead
were given a rapturous welcome when they returned home. 'They managed
to survive on the boat by catching turtles and drinking urine,' a
military officer said."

Kyodo News Service, Tokyo

July 30, 1990

"A male cook was pulled out of the rubble of the Hyatt Hotel early
Monday morning, 14 days after a powerful earthquake devastated the
northern Philippines, officials said. Dry, with only minor bruises on
his body, he told reporters he survived by drinking his own urine."

At a time when new viruses and bacteria are outwitting even the best
efforts of space-age medicine, and increasingly frequent natural
disasters put basic necessities out of reach, the facts about the one
medical and survival tool that the FDA can't regulate and that's
always there when you need it most, may well become the greatest
survival lesson any of us will ever learn.

One Woman's Experiences
Just wanted to say how grateful I am to Martha Christy for writing
her book. I was skeptical at first - who wouldn't be? But I have been
suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for 7 years (I'm 34) to the point
where I have been nearly disabled at times; hospitalized because of
the pain at times; and unable to function as a mother to my newborn 3
years ago.

I started with "MY" own perfect medicine about 16 months ago, and
within 3 days... yes THREE DAYS my aches were dramatically decreased,
my swollen joints began 'unswelling' and over the past 16 months
my 'sed' rate has dropped from an alarming 90 - 100 to about 27;
almost normal!!

Just wanted to let you know that Perfect Medicine is RIGHT ON in my
opinion. Now, if we could just get others to understand. No one in my
family understands even the concept of it... so needless to say not
even my husband knows I'm doing this. They all just think "it's a
miracle" that I'm feeling so much better. Well, it is a miracle. My
OWN miracle!

By the way, I have also used the therapy to relieve dry skin patches
on my legs and face, and minor acne problems. Have also sprayed it
into my hair on nights when my husband works... and left it over
night. When I washed in the morning, my hair was soft and shiny, and
the dry spots were much smoother. And minor acne all but disappears
over night. I swear by this stuff!!!

Sincerely,

Denise
