amaroli, babies do it, why not me?

[Guest guest]

here's an exerpt from the link i put in the post

on urine ingestion that addresses that

rationalization.<br><br>Another misleading claim being made by urninophiles is

that amniotic fluid is nothing but urine: fetal urine.

If it is good for the fetus, it should be good for

all of us. Here is what urine expert Martha Christy

has to say on the subject: . . . 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<br>to the therapeutic properties of the

urine-filled amniotic fluid.<br>Some of the chemicals found in

amniotic fluid are not going to be found in most urine

samples. It is misleading, to say the least, to claim

that<br>amniotic fluid is "primarily" urine. It would be more

accurate to say that they are both primarily water. I

don't know what doctors she is talking about, but most

parents will tell you that when their babies came out of

the womb their skin was anything but beautiful.

Comparisons to wrinkly<br>prunes are quite common. So is

comparison to one's skin after being in the swimming pool

for a long time. The baby's skin becomes soft only

after it has been out of its liquid environment for

some time. There is a reason for that, according to

Kim Kelly, a naturopathic doctor and nurse from

Seattle. Newborns don't produce oil from their sebaceous

glands until several weeks after their birth, which is

why they often appear to have dry, flaky skin. Rather

than amniotic fluid contributing to soft skin,

according to Kelly, babies in the womb are protected by

vernix, a creamy substance that serves as a barrier

between the baby and the amniotic fluid. So, unless your

urine is full of vernix, using it as a skin lotion is

unlikely to work as a moisturizer.
