DO NOT DRINK URINE TO SURVIVE - This Is Why!

In a survival situation drinking urine is not really a feasible thing to do because of many reasons. First off, you would need to be hydrated and have clear or slightly yellowish colored pee. Meaning that you would have to have captured your urine before the need arose. If you are showing any type of signs of dehydration at all then drinking urine is not advisable. Television Survivalist Experts are at odds when it comes to your daily dose of vitamin P. Bear Grylls, Mykel Hawke, Ruth England and Mr. Stolen Valor himself Joe Teti have all chugged down the golden bladder juice. Included in this article on the left hand side are Urine Color Charts that depict hydration levels. This indicates when you should consume fresh clean water to hydrate not piss! Urophagia is the practice of drinking urine for health benefits. There's controversial disagreement between those that favor the practice and those that say their is no benefit. My point is simple; by the time you realize your thirsty enough to drink your own urine it's already to late in a real life survival situation. I teach my audience, listeners and readers that if you have the proper survival training for finding water, purifying chemically, filtering, treating with ultra-violet light, solar energy or simply by boiling; you should never need to sip on piss. Only one circumstance that might justify drinking bladder juice comes to mind. Your body needs water to digest protein. If you were starving and had no water, but needed water to digest your food, then possibly that would justify the means. However, I would still venture to stand my ground that Knowledge is power and skills developed will prevail, avoid drinking bladder juice. Unless you seriously think drinking vitamin P will make you like Bear Grylls, Mykel Hawke, Ruth England and the infamous stolen valor man himself Joseph Teti.

Urophagia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urophagia is the consumption of urine, which is the liquid by-product of blood filtration in the body. There are various reasons that humans may consume urine. Urine was used in several ancient cultures for various health, healing, andcosmetic purposes, practices which are still used by some people of these cultures today. Urine therapy is a form ofalternative medicine. Thai people had been practicing urophagia for a long time.[1] Other reasons for urophagia include attempting survival, if no other potable fluid is available, though numerous credible sources (including the US Army Field Manual) advise against it. Also, some people consume urine as a sexual activity, and members of at least one culture consume urine for ceremonial purposes. Another use is occasionally found in the Middle East: tasting urine from a female camel to find if the camel is pregnant.

Reasons for urophagia[edit] Further information: Urine therapy and Urolagnia Attempting survival[edit] Some survival instructors and guides,[2][3] including the US Army Field Manual FM 21-76 "Survival",[4] advise againstdrinking urine for survival. These guides state that drinking urine tends to worsen, rather than relieve dehydration due to the salts in it and that urine should not be consumed in a survival situation, even when there is no other fluid available.

(March 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Basic physiology suggests that the urine produced in the first hours or day after being cut off from fluid supplies may be a useful source of fluid. Under conditions of dehydration, the kidneys need only 0.5 L of water per 24 h to excrete the 'waste' i.e. the salts and organic material that needs to be removed from the blood.[5] Under normal conditions a healthy adult will produce some 2 L of urine, of which 1.5 L can be considered 'free water' while the other 0.5 L is needed to remove waste. Thus theoretically, drinking one of L normal human urine is equivalent to drinking 0.75 L of water. As dehydration proceeds, urine will become more concentrated and approach the limit of 0.5 L/24h where it is no longer useful as a 'beverage.'. However this theory neglects to include the need for additional water in order to reprocess the removed waste contained in the urine, which includes a substantial amount salt.[citation needed] Some people in dire straits have drunk urine, but it's unclear if this actually helped or hindered their situation. FamouslyAron Ralston used the technique when trapped for several days with his arm under a boulder.[6] Urophagia in Muslim world[edit] In Islam, some local Bedouin tradition knows a medical use of camel urine. This is based on an alleged hadith, according to which prophet Mohammed recommended it to some sick people. [7] In recent times researchers in Saudi Arabia claimed to have observed an effect of camel urine against cancer.[8] [9] However, in July 2015 WHO warned against drinking camel urine because of a danger of MERS infection.
