Urine Therapy

LI am sitting on the toilet contemplating a cup of my own urine.

I have been feeling unwell for a couple of weeks. My lymph nodes are inflamed  acclimatizing to the combination of cold virus, new Thai bacteria from the air and the soil of the garden and from the light brown canal water that we wash ourselves in.  I am colonising myself with thousands of new comensual bacteria and my glands are supervising the process. And they are plain worn out.  Not to mention processing the antigens from the salivary glands of numerous friendly mosquitos. Too friendly.

So in the circumstances 2 weeks to recover from a cold virus isn't too shabby. If it weren't for a comment that I heard from another mother at Pun Pun.

"I drink a small amount of my urine 3 times a day when I am sick, Never thought I would . If you had asked me about it 5 years ago I would have laughed at you and now.... I  drinks small sips when I feel a sickness coming on and I feel great the next day! "

"No way!" I thought

And then I watched with interest as her child recovered in 3 days  from the same bug  that had floored my kids for 2 weeks.

So now ,  here I am. Contemplating  my wee-wee. My lymph nodes straining against the load , my throat on fire, my mind impatient to get well and get on with life.

In the end the mosquitos make my mind up for me. Watching them weave toward me through the smoke tendrils from the mosquito coil. I down my drink and run out of the bathroom.

Two days later, and several more sips, My lymph nodes are normal and I feel great. :-)
