Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 - the kneeling fool >If you repeat this for a week or so and then check the quality of the skin where the urine has been massaged and compare it with untreated skin, touch it and feel its softness, examine it with a magnifying glass, you will be astonished! sodium bicarbonate, vinegar, orange juice, and a host of other, far more caustic, substances have a similar effect - that of breaking down outer/dead skin cells, causing them to be shed more easily, revealing new, live, killable skin cells underneath... One thing I'm really curious about, Neal (real curiosity here, as in, I do want to know your answer), is how you equate painful arthritis with health? Pain isn't something that should be ongoing, it's purpose is to serve as a warning (eg, fire burns, the pain tells you to remove the area from the fire before more damage is done), and it should dissapate as healing occurs. Ongoing pain, chronic pain, is debilitating, and not at all conducive to health. I've had chronic pain for years, nearly a full decade. Yes, I can ignore it, but then it just gets louder and more insistant, and I've learned that it's capable of knocking me flat out, so now I don't push. I do what I can to remove the source of the pain (am slowly learning what those sources are, and how to do it), because, after all, that's the message of pain - remove the source of damage. Anyway, this was one of my random thoughts that occured during some late night reading, and it stuck with me, so I thought I'd ask. The train went something like, you practice urine therapy frequently (I'm guessing every day, but I'm not sure I recall you actually stating a frequency?), urine is often acidic, and urea is something that can crystalise, arthritis is often caused by a buildup of acid and/or crystals in the joints, therefore, etc. Was very tired at the time ;o) I'd love to hear your take on this, when you have time.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Questions - 1) Elchanan, you mentioned you had chronic pain for a decade. May I ask your story? I love hearing other people's stories, their successes, their journey..... 2) Regarding arthritis and/or pain signifying health. Odd I mentioned nerve damage already today. I do think that some pain cannot be helped, such as nerve damage. It can be minimalized, though. IN terms of arthritis, though, I know of people who had massive success with very severe rhuematoid arth (sp?) and the like, through raw vegan food, etc. I am not an expert on it and I could be wrong, but I thought arthritis could be reversed, or severely minimalized. I know not all of us are herb-friendly (which means something totally different here in Oregon - LOL), but Cat's Claw/Samento, for example, is a huge aid with this, I've read many times. And of course wheatgrass..... Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, you state then that you believe fresh urine to be caustic, based on what? Remember we are talking about fresh here. And I am curious here, I find it 'odd' (no offense intended) that you describe the cells underneath as 'killable'. > One thing I'm really curious about, Neal (real curiosity > here, as in, I do want to know your answer), is how you > equate painful arthritis with health? Have I done that? I do have painful arthritis and I do not have health problems. If someone breaks a leg and it heals but no longer functions correctly due to this damage is that ill health? > Pain isn't > something that should be ongoing, says who? > it's purpose is to our interpreted purpose, i.e. the one that is taught in our society > serve as a warning (eg, fire burns, the pain tells you to > remove the area from the fire before more damage is > done), and it should dissapate as healing occurs. I agree. > Ongoing > pain, chronic pain, is debilitating, and not at all > conducive to fitness, not health. > health. I've had chronic pain for years, > nearly a full decade. Then I've got well more than a decade on you there. > Yes, I can ignore it, but then it > just gets louder and more insistant, when that happens I just give it full attention, all attention, as in a meditation. But it hasn't been necessary for at least a year. It can actually be a very good point of focus for meditation because it really is what is happening right now this moment! > and I've learned > that it's capable of knocking me flat out, so now I don't > push.

Yes, I do exactly this too. > Anyway, this was one of my random thoughts that occured > during some late night reading, and it stuck with me, so > I thought I'd ask. I don't consider myself unhealthy just because I have constant pain. The pain is a result of physical damage but the biggest problem with it is the mental stories that arise because of the pain, at least they used to be. But pain has been an incredible teacher too. As I see it, believing that we should be pain free is a result of the marketing for medication and continuing treatment by wrongly called 'Health Services'. > The train went something like, you > practice urine therapy frequently (I'm guessing every > day, but I'm not sure I recall you actually stating a > frequency?), Yes every day, the first thing that goes into the stomach and its a great start to the day, the body feels full of energy, full of 'living'. > urine is often acidic, and urea is something > that can crystalise, and gout, which I had before I started drinking is also a build up of crystal, yet it went away after starting U.T. > arthritis is often caused by a > buildup of acid and/or crystals in the joints, therefore, > etc. That is not my understanding. It is that arthritis is a result of IIRC geophages actually consuming living tissue through a process of mis-learning, hehe, hey! that's the story of man isn't it!
