PREFACE
We feel great pleasure in placing before the discriminating public
this book on 'auto-urine therapy', a subject that has assumed great
importance in connection with the maintenance of health, and that has
recently occasioned widespread discussions.
The human body possesses a structure that is perfect in all
respects and wonderfully well-organized. Its internal processes are on
the other hand so intricately interconnected as to virtually defy
analysis. The body is constantly engaged all the twenty-four hours of
the day in producing chemical substances and in carrying out
chemical reactions which are beyond the capabilities of even the
largest and most well-equipped laboratories in the world. Each organ
is incessantly carrying out a number of essential activities. None of the
computers of even the latest designs can equal or approach the
capability of the human brain. One can say the same thing about each
of the organs of the body. No laboratory in the world has so far
managed to produce even a single drop of blood! Truly, it is not
possible that in the foreseeable future, man will be able to understand
completely the wonderfully intricate functioning of the body.
Scientists had assumed that urine is a totally useless and
obnoxious 'dirt/ liquid that has been rejected by the body. This has
been and is even now being hammered into the brains of people.
Frequent repetition lends credibility to even the most blatant lie. This
is the reason why people have acquired false notions about urine, and
have come to regard it with disgust.
Lord Shiva has extolled the virtues of urine in His composition
The great Indian physicians of yore have also identified the merits and
demerits of the urine of various, animals, and in fact have utilised
urine successfully in the treatment of various diseases, as has been
documented in ancient works. Allusions to the use of human urine are
found not only in ancient Hindu scriptures, but also in those of other
religions.
We can recall instances of the use of urine for therapeutic
purposes which we have personally witnessed some 50-60 years
back in our villages. The first person to present this subject in a
modern systematic scientific manner was the learned American, John
Armstrong. He has demonstrated to the world the efficacy and
propriety of auto-urine therapy, by using it in the treatment of almost
all diseases. He has established that auto-urine therapy is
beneficial in any of the diseases that afflict mankind. Self-urine
possesses not only the virtue of curing diseases, but also an
astonishing power of maintaining and enhancing health. No
other tonic can rival it in efficacy. And it is so easy to obtain this
remedy! There is no need to go anywhere, no need to get the
disorder diagnosed. No physician has to be consulted, no
expense has to be incurred. It is ready to hand where and when
you want it!
In the past this was not looked down on, but as other
therapeutic systems came into existence, the tendency to
regard it with disgust became stronger. With the development
of the Western allopathic system, all other therapeutic systems
including auto-urine therapy came to be neglected.
Allopathy proved to be a limitless source of wealth to its
practitioners. In consequence, it acquired prestige and status.
Now if such a free treatment as auto-urine therapy gains wide
acceptance, what would happen to their source of income? And
where can one exhibit one's skill and competence? People
have also been fascinated by the glitter of various equipment,
instruments, methods of testing and treatment. They have
become so entangled in the rounds of tests and treatments,
that they have no inclination for the consideration of simple and
straightforward remedies. But how long is it possible to keep
the sun hidden? The time has come now for this universal
remedy to come into its own, for all men to start treading the
path to perfect health, for getting rid of misguided disgust and
for reducing all afflictions of mankind to the minimum.
It should by no means be assumed that auto-urine
therapy will keep us perpetually free from all disorders. If the
rightdiet is not taken, if irresponsibility and insalubrious habits
are not abjured, if all rules nf fond, drink and sensible ways of life
are constantly contravened, no remedy on earth can ensure the
continuance of a healthy condition. The three r's of rules,
regulation and regularity are the sine qua non of health.
If diseases and disorders are to be reduced in this world,
care will have to be taken to take preventive measures. And
perfect health cannot be attained simply by medication. Even
an infallible remedy like auto-urine therapy will prove
powerless. It is not the limitations of auto-urine therapy that are
responsible for all this, but the uncontrollability of the human mind. If,
however, our way of life is governed by sound rules of diet and
lifestyle, this infallible remedy is most certainly capable of helping us
to get rid of any minor disorders that may arise.
Moreover, this is a science that is easy to study. The semi-literate
and even the illiterate can easily master it. And when such a simple
and effective system is accessible to us, why should we futilely run
about looking for anything better?
Get rid of the disgust of urine that has established itself in our
minds due to misguided conceptions. Consider the matter with a calm
and clear mind. Try the therapy out scientifically. There is no
possibility of failure. Auto-urine therapy will definitely yield results that
cannot be obtained by any other system in the world. We merely urge
you to give an opportunity to this harmless and marvellous remedy
before trying any other one.
Accord some respect to this system as a science. Study it again
and again. Rise above prejudices. If we can persuade you to do this,
we shall deem the publication of this book worthwhile.
Our dear readers are cordially invited to write to us their
experiences and results obtained by practising auto-urine therapy.
We are grateful to Shri Ravjibhai Patel, Shri Jagdish Shah,
Vaidyashri Pragjibhai Mohanji Rathod, Dr. Shri Mugatlal Thanki and
Dr. John Armstrong for some of the case histories narrated in this
book.

1. INTRODUCTION
We are accustomed to entrust our health to physicians; or
to leave it in the hands of Fate. This is why the question of the
maintenance of health has not so far been even partially solved;
on the contrary, it keeps on growing more complex, and
intractable.
Today the whole world is living under the shadow of the
threat of disease. Anyone may contract any disease at any time.
Indefatigable and unceasing efforts are being made to
overcome diseases that have already been contracted. Every
system of therapeutics is busy discovering various ways to bring
diseases under control, and enormous amounts of medicines
are being manufactured accordingly. Many therapeutic systems
have been evolved to this date. The sole purpose of each of the
systems is to secure freedom from all diseases for all mankind.
But the prevalence of diseases has not been reduced in spite of
all those efforts, and in fact there are as yet no signs of success
in this direction. Today in fact physicians are being
overwhelmed by the numbers of patients, and of diseases. This
is the situation everywhere. It appears that our hopes of
eliminating diseases by medication are illusory.
The extent of our present ignorance about health can
hardly be matched by our ignorance in any other field. We have
become no more than mere listless and inactive spectators in
matters relating to preservation and maintenance of health. Not
only do we refuse to actively consider or take adequate
measures for the maintenance of our health, but it does not
even occur to us that this is something which we should apply
our minds to. Our total indifference towards health is really
shocking. We have placed all questions of health in the hands
of Fate. If we are blessed with normal health, well and good; if
not, we shall resort to treatment with drugs and medicines. Such
an attitude
2. HISTORY OF AUTO-URINE THERAPY
There exists a large amount of evidence to show that auto-
urine therapy was in vogue even in ancient times.
Drinking of his own urine by a patient is mentioned in
Ayurveda and other ancient works. Some of the references are
quoted below:
Summary:
1. In matters of our health, we have become silent
spectators. We make no effort to understand our bodies,
the processes going on in them, and the origins of
disorders.
2. Even minor disorders cause us to panic, and we start
knocking at the doors of doctors in desperation.
3. In fact the remedy for nearly all disorders of man is right at hand
and easily available to him : his own urine.
ylate cyclase
(f) Prostaglandins
(g) Sex hormones
(3) Miscellaneous :
(a) Copper ( b ) Urobilinogen
As a knowledgeable qualified doctor has pointed out, there
is a strong possibility of there being several other beneficial
substances not yet known to science, in addition to the above
substances, present in urine.
Urokinase, an enzyme present in urine, prevents the
formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, and is even
capable of dissolving clots already formed. When such blood
clots obstruct the flow of blood in the blood vessels of the heart
a heart attack may be precipitated. Dr Mezel of the Edgewater
Hospital in Chicago, U. S. A., injects urokinase into the bodies
of victims of heart attacks thus aborting the attack and saving
the life of the patient. Dr Salaria, an eminent surgeon of
Ahmadabad, too, makes it a practice to give an injection of the
patients' own urine before undertaking surgery so as to forestall
any risk of overburdening or harming the heart during or after
the operation.
The hormone erythropoietine, one of the substances
usually present in urine, stimulates the bone marrow to increase
the rate of production of erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles).
This is the reason why a patient of anaemia derives substantial
benefit from auto-urine therapy.
Another hormone present in urine, adenylate cyclase, co-
ordinates the actions of all hormones in the body through the
production of a substance known as cyclic A. M. P.
Prostaglandin is a hormone that is essential for the
contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Many scientists are of
the opinion that this hormone can act as a contraceptive.
Urine contains sex hormones, insulin and growth
hormones as well.
The Nobel Laureate Albert Sczent Georgyi has carried out
a number of experiments testing the effect of methyl glyoxal, a
constituent of urine, on cancer patients, and has in addition to
the above, one must not lose sight of the high probability
of the presence of many substances in urine which are as
yet unknown to science.
All these beneficial substances are present in urine in
very finely divided and highly potentised forms. As a result
they are quickly absorbed from the stomach and the
intestines within a short time following the imbibing of
urine. And despite the extremely small quantities in which
they are present in the urine, they have been found to be
of great benefits to the body.
Dr Dharmadhikari of Pune in Maharashtra state has
tried auto-urine therapy on more than two hundred
patients, and has carried out scientific investigations
related to this therapy. Here are the conclusions he has
arrived at as a result of these researches :
(1 ) The body begins to absorb more oxygen from the
atmosphere after the commencement of auto-urine
therapy, and the metabolic reactions are speeded up. The
results of a large number of experiments support this
conclusion.
(2) The commmencement of auto-urine therapy is
invariably followed by a slow but definite increase in the
number of red blood corpuscles in and the haemoglobin
content of the blood.
Dr Dharmadhikari believes that these changes in the
body functions play a very important role in curing
disorders.
In the book 'Yoga' published by the Bihar School of
Yoga, Monghyr, a knowledgeable and learned doctor has
ascribed the efficacy of urine to the following reasons :
(1 ) Urine supplements the essential nutrients and
makes up the deficiency of any nutrient in the body.
(2) Urine contains highly active enzymes, that have a
salutary effect on all the physiological reactions taking
place in the body.
Summary :
1. There are numerous valuable constituents such as salts,
enzymes, hormones, etc., in human urine.
2. The natural resistive powers of the body are augmented by these
substances with their healing properties. As a result, old ailments
are cured and new ailments averted.
3. Not a single instance of harm or of untoward effects caused by
drinking one's own urine has so far been recorded.
4. AUTO-URINE THERAPY : OBJECTIONS AND
CLARIFICATIONS
(In Question-And-Answer Form)
(Thalidomide Tragedy)
Do only thalidomide and penicillin cause such side-
effects? Are all other drugs safe ? No doctor can answer
these questions in the affirmative. The American Medical
Association has published a list of 72 drugs that are
potentially harmful. The list includes sulpha drugs,
soporific drugs, sedatives, anti-rheumatic drugs, cortisones,
analgesics, diuretics, drugs that prevent fainting fits, drugs that
affect the thyroid gland, anti-coagulants, etc.
It is worth noting the undesirable side-effects of cortisones,
a group of drugs widely used for the treatment of disorders of
the joints, rheumatism in particular. Continued use of these
drugs over long periods may cause duodenal ulcers, a relapse
of tuberculosis, diabetes or psychosis. Treatment of children
suffering from rheumatism or allied disorders with steroids often
leads to extreme softening of the bones, sometimes to such an
extent that the bones give way even under the strains caused by
the simple act of walking. The breasts of men taking steroid
drugs get enlarged. Many women who had taken these druus
during pregnancy have given birth to girl babies with male
genitalia!
These doctors who play around with nature and even the
human chromosomes, totally disregard the side-effects of their
own drugs. But they do not hesitate to criticize and decry auto-
urine therapy of which they have no experience and which they
have not studied. For them to raise the bugbear of imagined
side-effects of auto-urine therapy is not better than the
proverbial stone throwing by those who live in glass houses.
Objection 4 : The reason that there are no untoward
effects of drinking urine is simply the fact that the human
body is like a very durable machine with a vast capacity to
absorb abuse and the unlimited capacity of the kidneys to
throw out toxins.
Clarification : This is a criticism levelled mainly by
doctors. The capacity of the kidneys to deal with toxins is
indeed unlimited. It is the allopathic medical science that has
derived the maximum benefit of this capacity of the kidneys.
The very thought of the terrible toll of innocent lives that
allopathic drugs would have taken if the kidneys did not
possess this miraculous capacity is sufficient to send shivers
down our spines. One must always be mindful of the fact that
when one points an accusing finger at someone else, the
three remaining fingers are pointing at ourselves.
Objection 5 : H urine is so beneficial and useful
to the body, why does the body eliminate it?
Clarification : Let us consider a dam in the course of a
river. If the water level rises above a certain limit, the
excess water begins to flow out of the specially
constructed flood gates of the dam. Ttiis of course does
not imply that water is of no use, and serves no purpose in
the dam. In exactly the same way excess water and salts
are permitted to flow out by the kindneys. If more water is
drunk, more urine is formed, and if less water is taken
less urine is formed.. This is the experience of every one
of us.
Summary :
1. The belief that urine is no more than a fluid vehicle for substances
that are useless, alien and toxic to the body, cannot be justified.
2. As urine does not come in contact with the external atmosphere,
no pathogenic bacteria contaminate it.
3. The allegation that drinking urine causes serious disorders
in the long run is unfounded.
4. Auto-urine therapy has been tried successfully on so
many persons that it is no longer necessary to carry out
experiments on lower animals to establish its efficacy and
harmlessness.
5. 'Auto-urine therapy is just a deceptive hoax aimed at
discrediting the modern drugs/ This allegation is totally
unjustified. When all other systems, all other remedies
have failed, people take resort to auto-urine therapy. People
who have tried all other therapeutic systems, who have
reduced the resistive powers of their bodies to the point of
extinction by pouring various poisons in the form of drugs
into their stomachs, and who have despaired of life itself,
have adopted auto-urine therapy as a last resort, and have
freed themselves from the disorders.
6. Auto-urine therapy offers many advantages as compared to
other systems. It is simple, convenient, it involves no
expense, it can be practised anywhere any time, and needs
no prior investigation to arrive at an exact diagnosis for
treatment.
7. The belief that the taste or smell of urine is disgusting is merely
the result of our prejudices and cultural influences.
5. AUTOURINE THERAPY : METHODS AND
PROCEDURES
Prior preparation : Some prior preparation is desirable
before the commencement of auto-urine therapy.
It is also necessary to resolve questions regarding the
manner, timings and frequency of taking the treatment.
The first thing to do is to read a few authoritative books on
auto-urine therapy for detailed information about the system, its
efficacy and its scientific nature, as well as the exact methods
to be adopted. This will have the effect of gradually reducing
the intensity of feelings of disgust in our minds.
Those who find it difficult to overcome the feelings of
disgust towards urine should begin by massaging the fingers,
palms and feet with urine.
A day or two later, they should massage the gums and rub
the teeth with fresh urine, gargle with it and try to drink a little of
it.
The feelings of revulsion inspired by urine will subside in
two to four days time by adopting the above measures, and the
possibility of nausea while drinking urine or of vomiting after
drinking it will be greatly reduced.
These preliminary measures may be taken at any time of
the day.
When preparing to drink one's urine, one must reject the
initial portion as well as the last portion, and collect only the
middle portion in a cup or glass, and drink it while it is fresh.
You will find that it is free from any sharp or unpleasant smell.
No food or drink should be taken for half an hour or so after
drinking urine.
Auto-urine therapy for maintenance of health : If the
purpose is simply maintenance of health, drinking a cupful (150
to 200 ml) of one's own urine once in a day is quite adequate.
The urine passed on waking up in the morning is relatively
more salty and possesses a strong odour. People who are
not accustomed to drinking urine may not find it easily
acceptable. Such persons should make a beginning by
taking for a few days the urine passed in the evening when
the stomach is empty. The best time for this would be
between four o'clock to six o'clock in the evening.
Alternatively it can be taken at the time of going to bed,
provided one has taken one's evening meal comparatively
early.
Once one has got habituated to drinking urine in the
evenings, one can begin drinking it in the morning on an
empty stomach. Normally there is no difficulty in the
change-over at this stage. But if the urine is still felt to be
too strong, it can be diluted with a little water.
Within a very few days of beginning the ingestion of
urine, the urine will begin to get progressively purer, and
its pungency and saltiness will begin to decrease. Once
one is accustomed to it, even the morning urine can be
drunk as easily as one drinks water. An influx of new
vigour in the body will also be experienced within a few
days of the commencement of the auto-urine regimen, and
even work of a very strenuous type will not cause fatigue.
People who drink their own urine regularly fall ill very
rarely. They can continue to enjoy freedom from diseases
like the 'flu or hepatitis, etc., even during epidemics of the
diseases, because the natural powers of the body to resist
diseases are greatly strengthened.
Common disorders like colds and coughs : Prompt
relief can be obtained in case of such common disorders
as colds and coughs by drinking a cup, or a cup and a
half, of fresh auto-urine once in the morning. If necessary,
the treatment can be repeated twice or thrice in a day.
(Equipment for
taking enemas)
Method : Place the enema can at a height of about a
metre from the floor, or suspend it from a nail in the wall at
this height Open the tap and allow some water to flow out,
so as to remove air bubbles from the tube. No>v lie down
face up on the floor. Place a support under the hip so that
the trunk inclines downwards from the hips to the head.
Lubricate the anal orifice well with oil or bathing soap.
Lubricate the end of the catheter also in a similar way.
Now insert the catheter into the rectum through the
anus to the extent of 10 to 12 centimetres (3 to 4 inches).
Open the tap gradually, allowing the water to flow gently.
Keep the rate of flow moderate.
1
The presence of ketone bodies in the urine can be detected by
chemical examination of urine by Rothera’s or Garhardt’s method.
Termination of urine-fast and diet for the succeeding
period : The breaking or termination of a fast is perhaps of
greater importance than the fast itself. It may happen that the
benefits of fasting are not apparent during the period of fasting.
But the benefits will become easily discernible within a few days
of the termination of the fast.
Extra care has to be exercised and additional precautions
need to be taken at the time of termination of fasts. Patience
and self-control are also equally important. The benefits
conferred by the fast can be consolidated and renewed fasting
is not required only if all these factors are accorded due care. At
the crucial time of the termination of a fast, it is necessary to
bear in mind that the digestive system has been slowed down
during the fast to the point of being rendered almost inactive.
The glands associated with the process of digestion have
become dormant. The intestines too have become shrivelled to
some extent. Great care must be taken in imposing the strain of
digestion once again on all these organs. Each of the organs
must be given a chance to reactivate itself in a certain definite
sequence.
In the opinion of experts, fasts should be terminated, i.e.
'broken', with a very small amount of the sweet-sour juice of
oranges or other similar citrous fruits. A fairly long interval must
separate two successive ingestions of even these small
quantities of the juices. The intervals can then be decreased
and the amounts of the juices taken can be increased
gradually. A bowel movement three to four hours after the
termination of the fast with the juice is desirable.
For the first three or four days only liquid diet such as fruit
juices or the juices of the ereen leafv vegetables should be
taken, and that too in fairly small quantities, which must be
gradually increased. After four or five days of this regimen, it is
permissible to include soft and juicy fruits, boiled vegetables,
milk, buttermilk, small quantities of dry fruits, etc., in the daily
diet. Normally a fairly long period should be allowed to elapse
before resuming the normal diet of cooked food.
Being in a hurry to recoup the energy and the weight
lost during the fast by taking more concentrated, more
nutritious and fatty food is not only absurd, it is
thoughtless and positively harmful. Diet following a fast
must be rigidly controlled. As a thumb rule, it can be
stated, that the number of days taken in gradual
resumption of normal diet should ideally equal or exceed
the number of days for which the fast lasted. Harmful
effects may ensue if this rule is not strictly adhered to.
The necessity of fasti ng is itself due to a fai lure to
observe regularity, propriety and proportion in food habits.
If the same lack of control in the food habits is to be
exhibited after the fast as before it, the body will once
again become a storehouse of insalubrious wastes and
toxins, giving rise to serious diseases.
Fasting is nothing but a purificatory, health-restoring
and temporary expedient. A person who is regular in his
food habits and leads a life of moderation and self-control
would rarely need long periods of fasting. For such
persons, fasting for one day or missing one meal every
week or fortnight would be quite adequate.
Some people may experience weakness or lassitude
for a week or so after the terminaion of a fast. But this is
generally only a temporary phase. When blood sugar
levels that have been lowered during the fast rise to
normal values as stocks of sugar build up to original
levels, these feelings of weakness will disappear by
themselves.
If on termination of a fast, the body temperature rises
and one feels feverish, this must be interpreted as an
indication of undue haste in terminating the fast and
resumption of normal diet, or some lapse or
carelessness at some stage. But this is no cause for
worry. All that is required is an immediate reduction in the
amount of food being taken, or resuming the fast for a day
or two.
Work involving physical exertion should be resumed only
gradually, after resting for a week following the termination of a
fast. While resuming one's activity, one must pay due attention
to the condition of one's body and the experiences one had
during the fast.
Other applications of auto-urine therapy : There are two
main divisions of auto-urine therapy: drinking urine, and
massaging with urine. But urine can be employed for
therapeutic purposes in other ways too.
Ailments of the eyes and the ears can be successfully
treated with urine drops.
Eyes can be cleaned and the conjunctive strengthened by
the following procedure : fill a katori or a specially designed eye-
cup up to the brim with urine. Immerse each eye in the urine by
bending over the cup, and open and close the eye several times
while it is under the surface.
If a piece of cloth soaked in urine is placed over the stings of
insects or bites of other animals, it will assuage the pain and the
burning sensation, and the severity of the poison will also be
reduced. It is necessary to change the cloth frequently. If the
poison or venom is virulent, it would be advisable to drink urine,
in addition to the external application.
Application of cloth soaked in one's urine to cuts, wounds
and sores helps them to heal quickly. The cloth should be
removed before it dries.
The use of urine diluted with water for taking enemas and neti
has already been discussed.
Summary:
1. Drinking one cup of one's own urine in the morning is
adequate for the maintenance of health.
2. Minor and acute disorders should be treated by drinking one or
one and a half cupfuls of one's own urine three times a day.
3. In cases of major and chronic disorders/ there should be total
abstention from food, and all the urine passed during 24 hours
should be ingested.
4. The benefits accruing from drinking one's own urine are acce-
lerated and augmented by massages with stale (aged) urine.
5. Wounds and sores should be treated by application of strips of
cloth soaked in urine. Disorders of the eyes and ears should be
treated by instillation of drops of urine.
6. No adverse effects are caused by any variations in the amounts of
urine ingested or applied.
6. AUTO-URINE THERAPY : SOME PROBABLE
UNTOWARD EFFECTS
4. ASTHMA
[Dr Natvarlal Shah, M.B.B.S. of Thasara, Dist. Kaira,
has written to us narrating how he managed to free
himself from chronic asthma, which had been troubling
him for 15 years, with the help of auto-urine therapy. His
account is being given here in its entirety.]
To
The President
The Auto-Urine Therapy Association,
Ahmadabad.
Sir,
I have come to know through my friend Dr Chhotubhai
Patel of Navagam that a meeting of your association is to be
held at the Ayurvedic College, Surat, under the chairmanship of
Shriyut Bapalal Vaidya.
I am therefore placing before the association this account
of my experience of auto-urine therapy in treating myself for
asthma. -
I am 47 years old. For fifteen years I have been having
attacks of asthma, which recur every monsoon. The trouble
starts as soon as there is an increase in the atmospheric
humidity, and continues with varying intensity throughout the
rainy reason. Sometimes the trouble becomes so severe that I
am confined to bed for days together. It is not at all possible for
me to venture outside my house while it is raining. I have tried
numerous Ayurvedic and Allopathic drugs and injections, often
obtaining temporary relief, but without any permanent benefit.
Last year, that is in 1960, the complaint persisted even
after the end of the monsoon, i.e. even in November and
December, though in a milder form. A mild attack of asthma
would come on every night, and I would have to take a tablet of
Uridrinal every morning and evening for relief.
In December 1960 i sent for a copy of your book 'Manav
Mootra' and studied it thoroughly. Under the influence of the
book, supported by the sincere and well-meaning persuasion of
two or three friends, I commenced auto-urine therapy from 31 -
12-'60, adopting the following procedure.
(1) Drinking of Urine: For the first ten days, I drank
three to four ounces of my own freshly passed urine every day in
the morning, noon, and evening. For a month after that, I
continued the treatment, though with a reduced frequency,
drinking it only in the mornings and evenings.
(2) Massage: I got my whole body massaged with
urine for two hours every day early in the morning as
recommended in the book, and would bathe in warm
water (without using soap) one or one and a half hours
after the massage.
The massages were continued for exactly one month.
(3) Diet: For the first 9 days I fasted, taking
nothing
except urine and water. For two days after that, I took
raisins
and dates soaked in water overnight and then mashed into
the
water, in the mornings. At noon and in the evenings I
took
cow's milk and ripe papaya. After two days of this
regimen,
I began to take very light food, starting with khichdi
prepared from rice and moong dal (split green grams),
boiled in large amounts of water to give porridge-like
thick liquid. After two more days I changed over to normal
light foods. I take only manually de-husked rice rather
than the machine-polished rice usually sold in the market.
(During the course of the treatment, I used to take no
other milk except cow's milk, and no spices at all.)
(4) After one month's treatment as described
above, I have recovered completely now. There is no
trace of the asthma. I do not take, and am no longer
required to take, any drugs or tablets for asthma. Though
usually it is only during monsoons that the suffering
caused by asthma would become severe, nevertheless
some mild trouble would persist longer, and I was forced
to take tablets over longer periods because of the
continuing discomfort. But the discomfort has not
persisted after the treatment, and so there is no need for
me to take the tablets. Nor did I take any tablets or medicines
during the course of the treatment.
(5) Some physical ailments that caused trouble during
the therapy:
(a) Boils began to erupt, beginning from the third day of
the treatment, mostly below the waist. They continued to erupt
for about a month and a half. I did not take any Ayurvedic or
Allopathic treatment for the boils. When they became very
painful, I applied cotton soaked in my own urine to them, and
bandaged them up, which used to relieve the pain.
(b) I felt rather uneasy one day during the period of
fasting, but the feeling passed, and there was no serious
inconvenience.
(c) I took papaya during the two days following the initial
fast. The very day I took the fruit first, I had a prickly sensation in
my throat in the evening, which persisted through the night. Later
in the night I began to cough. Early next morning a difficulty in
breathing was experienced, in addition to the cough, but soon
phlegm began to be expectorated, and the discomfort
decreased. The whole sequence of discomfort and relief was
repeated the next day. I thought deeply about this trouble, and
decided to discontinue the ingestion of papaya. The cough
subsided that very evening; the difficulty in breathing did not
recur the next morning.
After that I began to change over to solid food. For two days
I took only semi-liquid khichdi of the consistency of porridge in
the mornings, and only cow's milk in the evenings. The third
evening I had a rotla (flat pancake) of bajri (millet) with the milk.
That night the cough recurred. Early next morning at about 3
o'clock along with the cough, I began to experience difficulty in
breathing. The difficulty was severe enough to force me to sit up
in bed. In about two hours the phlegm began to be loosened,
thus affording some relief. This experience, the next evening I
substituted wheat pancake for the millet pancake. This change
has a favourable effect: that night I was troubled less by
the cough, and did not experience the difficulty in
breathing the next morning. Accordingly I decided to
continue taking khichdi or rice and dal in the mornings and
wheat bhakhris (pancakes) with milk in the evenings. I
have had no such trouble since then.
I have gradually changed over to normal diet by now.
(Though, of course, I continue to avoid taking chillies and
fried preparations.) I take only manually de-husked rice.
This, then, is my experience with auto-urine therapy. I
am convinced that it is of great benefit in the treatment of
asthma. Of course, in the matter of diet, changes
appropriate to the constitution of the patient should be
made in each case.
I suppose I must have a constitution with bile as the
predominant humour, and that must be the reason why
papaya, millets and similar items of food did not agree
with me.

5. INDIGESTION
Shri Laljibhai Heerabhai Patel, aged 43, hailing
from Aslali but now residing in Ahmadabad, read
accounts of my experiences concerning auto-urine
therapy, and decided to tackle his own troubles in his own
way, using his own ideas as to how to apply the principles
of the system. It was some two months after he had
recovered that he came to see me with one of my
acquaintances, and described the methods he had
adopted and the benefits he had obtained. Later on he
sent me a written account of his method of application of
urine therapy.
This gentleman, Laljibhai had been suffering from
weakness of the intestines and impaired digestive
function. Every year he would need treatment by a doctor.
One or two months' treatment would put him right, but soon the
same troubles would start again. The frequent treatment had
caused him considerable economic and bodily harm. Ultimately,
last Diwali, he decided to discontinue all treatment. But his
health deteriorated once again in the following summer.
Meanwhile my article narrating my experiences came to his
notice. He began to apply the principles explained therein,
without asking for my advice or instructions, to his own case,
and in exactly one and a half months, he recovered completely.
"I had a touch of asthma as well." he wrote. "Auto-urine
therapy has cured me of that too. The only thing that is required
in such matters is full faith in the system, and self-control. I feel,
on the basis of my own experience, that if I had followed the
advice and instructions given by respected Ravji Kaka in his
article regarding the system, it would not have taken so long for
me to get cured."
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
6, CHRONIC COLD
36year old Gulab Bahen Pathak was suffering from
chronic cold. She also suffered from sore throat. She had
frequent bouts of coughing, and lassitude such as
caused by mild fevers was also experienced most of the
time. She had to rely on medicines to be able to cope
with her daily chores. Insomnia was another one of her
complaints. Often when she could not sleep, she used to
work at her embroidery and knitting till late in the night.
One of her acquaintances suggested that she try auto-
urine therapy. She consulted her nephew, who was a qualified
doctor, about this. The doctor laughed the suggestion off,
advising her not to try such ridiculous remedies, but to consult a
specialist instead. She followed his suggestion, and underwent
treatment as advised by the specialist for about four months.
During the treatment, she found herself getting better for a time,
but relapsing back to the same old level of ill health, with the
same symptoms manifesting themselves again. Now she was
fed up. Gradually her health was deteriorating. She
decided to disregard the advice of her nephew, and to try
auto-urine therapy. She came to me for guidance. I
examined her thoroughly, and gave her a list of books on
the subject, with the intention that she should familiarise
herself thoroughly with the principles of the therapy and
thereby confirm her resolve. She obtained the books.
Within two days she had studied them and digested the
information. She embarked on a course of auto-urine
therapy in accordance with my instructions.
The cold became more severe the next day, but as
she found that she could sleep a little better, her faith in
the system was sustained. A definite improvement could
be observed in about a week. The cold was now much
less severe, and the cough and soreness of throat had
almost completely disappeared. She had also begun to
sleep well. All her ailments were cured within a month.
She derived an additional benefit from the treatment. As
her thin body filled out because of the increase in the
amount of blood in the body, her beauty had been
enhanced.
7. TUBERCULOSIS
Note : The very first person on whom Dr J. W. Arm-
strong tried out his system of auto-urine therapy was he
himself. How he managed to cure himself of tuberculosis
which had reached its last stage is narrated here in his
own words :
"Although I should prefer to avoid the first person
pronoun ['I'] in this book, [I feel that] it is not possible to do
so in the circumstances if I am to carry conviction. For
one ounce of experience [of a system] outweighs a ton
of arguments!
"My first patient was myself. It happened in this way.
During the last war, at the age of thirtyfour, I presented myself
for medical examination under what was called the Derby
Scheme, and was rejected by the four examining doctors on the
grounds that I was consumptive. Moreover I was urged to put
myself under the care of a physician. Consequently I consulted
a specialist. He, however, treated my condition as not very
serious, told me I was more a catarrhal subject than a
consumptive one, and advised plenty of fresh air, sunshine and
a nourishing diet. I followed his advice, and in one year put on
28 pounds (about 13 kg) in weight. Nevertheless, not being
satisfied with my condition I consulted another specialist, who
informed me that both my lungs were affected, and despite what
the previous specialist had said, I was consumptive and must
keep up my strength on a diet rich in sugars and starches.
Finally, because of such intake of foods, diabetes set in, and I
was placed on an entirely new and drastic regime, which
consisted of fasting on six half-pints [about Si litres] a day of
cold water (sipped) during four days
of every week, whilst on the fifth and two following days I was
nprmitted a "snack" which onlv served to whet my appetite, not
to mention the fact that I was enjoined to chew every morsel of it
to such a degree that it only produced a very sore mouth, aching
teeth, swollen gums and a swollen tongue. In addition to these
discomforts, I was inflicted with insomnia, frayed nerves, and great
irritability of temper. The regime was continued for sixteen weeks
without a break, and although it resulted in the disappearance of my
cough and catarrhal condition, and also of painful sciatica from which
I had been suffering, none the less the treatment seemed more
unpleasant to me than the disease. The final upshot was that, after
two years of this treatments, I lost faith in ooctors and began a series
of ventures on my own, although much against their advice.
"..... ..... [When I became] very weak and ill, I recalled the text in
I)roverbs V [in the Bible} which runs, 'Drink waters out of thine own
cistern', a text which, in its turn, reminded me of the case of a young
girl whose father gave her her own urine to drink when she was
suffering from diphtheria, with the result that he cured her in three
days. Other cases also came to mind (jaundice was one) which
had been cured by the same means ....”
[I remembered other facts, too. My doctor had told me after
examining my urine some years previously, that my lungs and
pancreas were diseased and wasting.] "I even remembered
saying to him in my then innocence: 'If I am losing vital tissue
and sugar through my urine, then why [should I] not drink the
urine and replace these elements in that way?' To which he
had replied that the organs could not assimilate 'dead matter'.
This, however, as I have proved since, was nothing but a
theoretical fallacy!
"..... ..... I grant that it is unwise dogmatically to assert that any
given text of Scripture [Bible] denotes this or that, for many
people read into the Bible exactly what they themselves wish to
find there. Nevertheless, I believed, and still believe, that the
text I have quoted, and many others also, bear reference to that
vital fluid which is within our own bodies' and believing it, I acted
in accordance with that belief, to find in the end that it proved to
be my physical salvation. Fortified by my faith in what I thought
to be the correct interpretation of the text, I fasted for forty-five
days on nothing but urine and tap water-and this, despite the
doctor's assertion that ele~en days without food was the limit to
which a hu~an being could go! I also rubbed urine on my body-
a very Important factor in the cure. I finally broke my fast on raw
beef, and though it gave me no discomfort beyond a ravenous
hunger, ! none the less ate cautiously for a time, and continued
to drink my own urine, noticing that its changes in temperature,
quality, taste, etc., depended almost entirely on what I ate or
drank, and on the amount of exercise I took.
IIAt the end of the treatment I felt, and was, Ian entirely new
man'. I weighed 140 pounds [about 63 kg], was full of vim,
looked about 11 years younger than I actually was, and had a
[smooth] skin like a young girl's. I was thirtysix at the time, and
am now over sixty. Yet by dint of drinking every drop of water
that I pass, living on a well-balanced diet, and never eating
more food per diem [per day] than I consider th~ body requires, I
look and feel much younger than most men ot my age, and [I]
keep [myself] free from those major and minor ailments to which
the body is said to be heir.
", .... Being convinced that knowledge [which we have acquired]
must not be selfishly 'hidden under a bushel', but should be
shared with one's fellows, I began to advise and supervise the
fasting of others [on urine] on the same lines [along which I had
regained my health]."
(Water of Life: Dr John Armstrong)
8. PEPTIC ULCER
Shri G. B. Kelkar, a Maharashtrian gentleman residing in Shreemali
Society in the Navrangpura area of Ahmadabad, sent me an account
of his experience in May 1958. I present here extracts of the relevant
portion of his communication:
I used to have severe pains in the abdomen, and tremors of the
hands. A friend suggested that I try urine therapy. I decided to rub
urine on my palms. Two or three days' massage resulted in complete
cessation of the tremors. This gave me the confidence to continue
experimentation with this system. At that time I was suffering from
hyperacidity, and had developed peptic ulcers. I had been trying all
kinds of treatment for this condition (ailment) for twenty-five years but
there had been no improvement. I began to gargle with urine and to
massage my body with urine. Within a week I became noticeably more
energetic. This was an additional evidence of the efficacy of urine as a
therapeutic agent. It gave me an impetus to start drinking urine. I
began to drink a glassful of water a day, in three or four portions. The
relief I obtained as a result of this treatment in the short period of a
week was such as to defy description. I continued the practice for a
month. In consequence, today I am completely free from the incubus
of hyperacidity. The ulcers in the stomach have healed. My appetite
has been restored.
My experience has convinced me that urine is nothing less than the
elixir of life for those who desire to live a healthy and vigorous life till
the very end. Urine confers the gift of perfect health upon us. It guards
us against even the more virulent infectious diseases. And it costs us
nothing more than sincere belief and abiding faith. Thus it is a
medicine that is doubly beneficial to the poorer sections of the
population. And its benefits are not only quick but also permanent.
I am now 67 years old, but still strong enough to put in the normal
amount of work every day, which is undoubtedly the consequence of
auto-urine therapy.
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
9. DUODENAL ULCER
Shri M. A. Noorani, residing at 194, Nagdevi Street, Mumbai 3, is a
Muslim. Nevertheless, he has great faith and interest in auto-urine
therapy. He has been making laudable efforts to popularise the system
in Mumbai, by making books on the subject available to a
considerable number of people, and has induced many persons
to interest themselves in the system by providing detailed
guidance about the practical side of it. He presented the
following account of his experience at the Conference on Auto-
urine Therapy convened at Surat on 15 June, 1981.
"Allopathic procedures for the diagnosis of serious diseases
entail considerable distress and financial outlay on the part of
the patients, and despite all the suffering involved, they are very
often found by doctors to be inconclusive, thus failing in their
purpose.
"My son was suffering from duodenal ulcer. The
recurring abdominal pains caused by the ulcer necessitated an
operation. The operation was performed in 1950 in a hospital in
Mumbai. The pains started again in 1957. Many vaidyas ant'
doctors were consulted. Finally one of the doctors said that the
cause of the pains was intestinal TB. A course of 40
streptomycin injections and 6 tablets of Isonex a day was
instituted as advised by him. My son was to take complete rest
for the duration of the treatment. After thirty-five days of this
treatment, his feet were found to be swollen. The doctor was
consulted again. He advised immediate hospitalisation, as the
condition of my son was found to be critical. He was admitted
the very next day. Numerous injections and two or three blood
transfusions were given. The doctors tried their best for a month
and a half, but to no avai I. On the contrary, the swell i ng
spread from the feet to the entire legs. Finally the doctors
declared that there was nothing further that they could do, and
asked me to take the boy home. After that we had him treated
by a well-known Homeopath for about twenty days, again
without any improvement.
"Another Allopathic doctor was then consulted on
the advice of an intimate friend. The doctor was optimistic
about recovery after an examination. The boy was
therefore admitted toJiospital once again. But within just
five days, it is painful to me to have to relate, the
duodenal ulcer-for which he had been operated upon in
1950-burst, and he left this mortal world on 31 -8-'57.1
was deeply hurt and shocked, and depression set in.
"The event had a strongly adverse effect on my
health. I had just such a duodenal ulcer twenty-five years
prior to this event. No relief was obtained by medication, and
ultimately I had to have an operation. About a year and a half
after the demise of my son, I began to have pains in exactly the
same spot. The abdominal pains, bloody stools, retching, loose
stools after meals, indigestion, pain in the back and the base of
the spine, debility so pronounced that even climbing stairs would
make me pant, these and a host of other allied symptoms
developed. I was frightened by these developments, and
began to worry as to what I should do. The memory of my past
experiences discouraged me from approaching doctors. At this
juncture, some time in June 1959, one of my friends brought
Shri Ravjibhai Manibhai Patel's book 'Manav Mootra' to me, and
advised me to go through it. I read the book with great interest,
finishing it in two days.
"I decided to commence auto-urine therapy along the lines
indicated in the book, I have ascertained that the system does
not violate any of the precepts of Islam2, and on the basis of
my study of this question I can confidently state that the
practice of this therapy is neither morally wrong nor violative of
any religious principles.
"I began the treatment in strict accordance with the
instructions given in the book. I adhered rigidly to the
recommended diet too. Within the short period of forty days I
succeeded in freeing myself from all the distressing symptoms”
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
10. APPENDICITIS
Shri Kalidas Shankarbhai Valand of Dabhoi (Dist.
Baroda) reports in his letter :
About four years ago I had acute appendicitis. I was
operated on in the famous Dufferin Hospital at Baroda. But the
pain persisted even after that. Later I was treated by some
2
That auto-urine therapy does not violate any of the principles and precepts of Islam, is
explained in detail in die book 'Manav Mootra'. Anyone interested in the question can
satisfy himself on this point by studying the discussion given therein.
doctors in Dabhoi; there was, however, no relief. A one-
year course of treatment including medicines and
injections under a well-known doctor in Baroda also failed
to effect any improvement.
A doctor in Anand was consulted, but his treatment
also proved ineffective. A jury (meeting for collective
consultation) consisting of a doctor residing at
Mahemedabad, a specialist and a surgeon, both from
Ahmadabad, was convened at the residence of the
Mahemedabad doctor. Treatment as prescribed by the
jury was tried for a time, once again without any
improvement. Ultimately all the doctors came to the
conclusion that another operation should be performed. I
was admitted to the nursing home of a prominent
surgeon. There infra-red rays were tried, which did afford
me some relief from the pain, but in about a month the
pain returned in all its former intensity. I was taken back to
the nursing home and the same treatment was instituted,
this time, however, without any resultant benefit. At last I
requested the doctor to operate, but he said he would like
to check by screening whether an onpration was needed.
I was given a barium enema, and every part of the
system examined thoroughly by screening.
11. COLITIS
Abdominal pains are due in most cases to unsuitable diet.
Shri Yogendra Parikh, B. 5c. (Agriculture), of Khadi
Gramodyog Prayog Samiti, Harijan Ashram, Ahmadabad 13,
began to have severe abdominal pains which might have had
their origin in some such irregularity. He tried various
treatments for the pains, and maintained records of all the
types of treatments he tried. Allopathic and Homeopathic
treatments proved ineffective. At last he came to know of Urine
Therapy. He consulted Doctor Adal Behram. M D of Mumbai,
an acquaintance of his, about this system, and began treating
himself with urine. He wrote out a precise account of his
ailment and presented it at the Conference on Urine Therapy
held on 12th and 13th March 1960. As his account is 9lear and
precise in its details, I reproduce it here in the belief that it will
provide valuable guidance to many sufferers afflicted with
similar ailments :
I was feeling pysically ill at ease because of the intense
heat which is usual in Ahmadabad in April. I contracted influenza
on the 1st of April. After recovering from this illness I fell a victim
to enteric malarial fever in the first week of May. The fever lasted
over a week, during which period the weather continued to
be extremely hot, as a result I began to have as many as
five motions a day. The seasonal work pertaining to trees
and growing cotton plants was over, and I was now
engaged in analysis work that easily took up twelve to
fourteen hours of my time every day. The number of
motions per day increased. I began to suffer from
flatulence and abdominal pains, and began to pass blood
with stools.
As it became obvious that medical assistance was
required, I consulted a doctor who was a friend of mine.
He advised me to give up wheat, oil and chillies, and gave
me medicine. This medicine lasted for about fifteen days,
at the end of this period, having found no improvement in
my condition, I went back to the doctor. He changed the
medicine, and I began a course of injections of Emetine.
Despite this treatment, my condition kept worsening. So
on the 19th of June I went and had myself admitted to the
Civil Hospital. There, under the supervision of three
experienced physicians, the Emetine injections were
continued, and my blood, stool and urine were tested.
Amoebic dysentery had been suspected, but the reports
were negative. Blood was being passed with stools, but the
tests failed to reveal a cause. So the doctors examined the
stools again and again to cover all possible-causes of
colitis. Crystoids tablets were given in an attempt to get rid
of worms, if there were any, in the stomach or the
intestines. This resulted in a great increase in the number
of motions a day, but no definite indication could be found.
Sigmoidoscopic examination was used to ascertain the
cause of colitis. In the preliminary examination on the first
day, bleeding piles were tentatively diagnosed. The next
day, as a possible surgical case, I was examined again by
means of the sigmoidoscope by another doctor. He came
to the conclusion that I had ulcerative colitis. Some of the
lining of the colon and a sample of my blood were sent for
detailed examination, but the cause of the ulcerative colitis could
not be established. My case was no longer considered to be a
surgical one, but on the recommendation of another doctor who
was taking a friendly interest in the case, my doctor kept me
under his direct observation. During this period I left the hospital
and went to a private nursing home. Meanwhile the amount of
blood being passed with the stools showed a great increase,
and my weight went down from 127 pounds (about 57 kg) to 100
pounds (about 45 kg). The loss of blood from the body was
made good with the help of two blood transfusions as advised
by the doctor. This seemed to have a beneficial effect. No blood
was passed in the stools. But the effect proved to be temporary.
In two or three days after the second transfusion, there was a
relapse. During all this time, treatment with tablets of
sulphaguanidine and spasm indon, as well as injections of
ACTH, strementin, streptopenicillin, and biesteme forte were
contipued. When some improvement in health became evident, I
consulted Dr Nayar. He instructed me to take light food suited to
my constitution, and prescribed injections of Vitamin B. In the
end I asked him, "Even after all these investigations and
treatment, it appears that no one has really any clear idea as to
what the cause of my illness was. The reports give no definite
indication. What is your opinion?"
"Worry and anxiety can also by themselves cause
ulcerative colitis," he replied. "If therefore you can free your mind
from the burden of anxiety, you will be able to get rid of this
ailment much faster."
As I was going through the formalities of discharge from the
hospital, Dr N. C. Shah had a word of caution for me : "What we
have done is to arrest the progress of the disease. There is
every likelihood that there will be a relapse. Once that happens,
I am afraid there will be very little left that we shall be able to do
to help you."
All the members of my family were living in Mumbai. I was
feeling relatively well. So I went to Mumbai, In order to find out
the cause of the disorder if possible, and partly for my mental
satisfaction, I went to Dr Patel for a thorough examination.
All I got from this investigation was physical pain.
I found myself unable to decide whether to take
Allopathic treatment or Homeopathic treatment, and
decided to draw lots. I prepared two slips, one favouring
Allopathic, and the other favouring Homeopathic
treatment. I folded them up, put them together and picked
up one at random. It said 'Homeopathy'. So, I made up my
mind for it.
I called DrAdal Behram, who has been our family
doctor for years, and let him know my decision. He is a
Homeopath, and started a course of Homeopathic
medicines. Among these were tablets of Graphites, Merc
Sol, Nux Vomica, Merc Corrosive, Carbo Veg. etc. Before
this treatment, when I had arrived in Mumbai, my weight
had gone down to 94 pounds (about 43 kg). This means a
loss of 33 pounds (15 kg) in a month! The stools were
extremely viscous. Blood had again begun to pass with
the stools. Abdominal pains and flatulence persisted. I
had been having curds for such a long period that I had
developed a dislike for it. I had no appetite, and whatever
I forced myself to eat was thrown up again in vomits.
This was my condition when the Homeopathic
treatment was instituted. Mine was a chronic case. Dr
Adal Behram put me on a diet of the watery liquid that
separates from milk when it is coagulated, and the juice of
Bel fruits. From this simple fare I progressed stage by
stage to greengram soup and apples, and in 12 to 15 days
to porridge, khichdi and curry. The Homeopathic treatment
began to prove effective. The rapidity of improvement
during a month of the treatment led my doctor to
anticipate a relapse, though hopefully the last one. The
expectation was indeed realised. The rainy season
brought a cold, with concomitant fever, and blood began
to pass once again. But I got well again in a fortnight
Before leaving for Ahmadabad, I went and saw Dr Adal Behram.
During my stay in Mumbai, I came across a book on Auto-
Urine Therapy. I had been reading books on various therapeutic
systems, mainly on Ayurveda, in the hope of obtaining more
information on my ailment. So it was natural that I would glance
through the book. It gripped my attention and aroused my
curiosity. I finished the book at one sitting.
Accordingly when I went to see Dr Adal Behram on the eve
of my departure for Ahmadabad, I mentioned this book, as well
as 'Water of Life' by Dr Armstrong. He said, "I have met some of
his followers. I would advise you too to try out this system. I
believe it will be even more efficacious in your case than the
Homeopathic treatment/' I naturally asked why he had not given
me this advice earlier. He said, "I did not say anything about it,
mainly because I felt that your people would find the idea
revolting, and that you would not be prepared to give it a trial."
"Must all the urine that is passed be drunk?" I asked.
"No," said the doctor. "Drink a cupful three times a day.
Initially you had better dilute the urine with an equal quantity of
water. Later you can go on reducing the proportion of water.
"What about diet?" I asked.
"Light and simple," was the answer.
Dr Behram then told me that he himself had been
practising the Therapy, and used to recommend it to those of
his patients who in his opinion would be open to such a novel
system. He himself had been a practitioner of Allopathy for 22
years. After that he went to London to conduct research on
diabetes. While there, he began to study Homeopathy, and
began various investigations in the system. He earned a degree
in Homeopathy. Then he went over to France, where he
continued his investigations, and obtained another degree. On
his return to India, he.gavt up practice in Allopathy, began to
practise Homeopathv exclusively, and is working at present as
the Principal of the Homeopathy College in Mumbai.
After my return to Ahmadabad, I had one more
relapse in the unhealthy rainy season. Once again I
began to pass blood in stools, and to lose weight. I put in
a phone call to Dr Adal Behram, discussed the question of
Urine Therapy once more with him, and commenced the
therapy. My wife Neelam, too, had read the book on Auto-
Urine Therapy. With her encouragement and moral
support, I fasted for three days, during which I drank urine
three times a day as advised by the doctor, and had my
whole body massaged with urine in the manner described
in the book, on all three days. On the second day of this
regimen, the colour of urine changed. Now it was clear as
water, though it had a rather salty taste.
During this three-day period of fasting, the number of
motions increased to 7-8 a day. More blood was passed in
the stools. But by the end of a week, the proportion of
blood had fallen almost to zero. The number of motions
per day gradually reverted to normal during the second
week, and at the and of the third week i was on my feet and
resumed daily activity. I am perfectly well today. As far as diet
is concerned, I avoid taking fried and spicy preparations;
apart from this restriction, I can take all foodstuffs without
suffering any discomfort.
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
12. DYSENTERY
Shri Bhikhalal Nathalal Kothari, a resident of
Ahmadabad (Madan Gopal's Haveli, House No. 250/2,
Nadawada Pole, Astodia) reports in his letter dated 14-3-
'61 as follows :
I had been suffering from abdominal pains for the
past 10 years. The pains became more severe with the
passage of time. Many specialists were consulted. I was
given hundreds of injections. As for tablets and medicines,
their number is beyond reckoning. Expenses far beyond my
means were incurred. Despite all these measures, my health
continued to deteriorate.
All the food I took would pass undigested through the
system and would get eliminated in the stools. I was afflicted
with dysentery. My weight went down from 176 pounds (80 kg)
to 126 pounds (about 57 kg).
I had to take medicines worth Re 1 every day just to keep
alive. [This was when the rupee was worth a rupee, and not 12
paise.] I was at my wits' end, not knowing what to do next. It
was at this time that a friend gave me a copy of 'Manav Mootra'
with a recommendation to go through it. I read it thoroughly with
the closest attention.
I commenced auto-urine therapy from 1 -5-'60. For a
month I massaged my body with urine. I fasted on urine for two
days, drinking up every drop of urine passed. The result was
favourable. Ten months have passed since then. My weight is
now 170 pounds (77 kg). I have not had an occasion even to
cast a glance at medicine. Now I drink about 40 oz (about 1.1
litres) of urine a day in three doses. I feel quite well now. If at all
there is anything wrong with me at any time, I can quickly bring
it under control with urine and fasting.

14, DIARRHOEA
Sudhabahen had been suffering from diarrhoea for two or
three years. She also used to have abdominal pains
frequently. All this time she had constantly been under
treatment. When she got tired of Allopathic treatment, she
would change over to Ayurvedic treatment. After a time she
would be fed up with Ayurvedic treatment, and abandon it to
try Homeopathy. This went on for a long time. Usually she
used to obtain some temporary relief by such treatment. But a
time came when no medicine could have any effect. The
diarrhoea could not be brought under control. She could not
digest any food. She became extremely weak. As a last resort
she decided to try Auto-Urine Therapy, and approached me for
guidance.
On examination, it was found that her intestines had
become extremely weak. The body had become emaciated.
Despite the weakness, however, she was put on a urine fast. In
addition to drinking her own urine for four days, other
therapeutic procedures such as massages with urine,
applications of clay packs wetted with urine over the abdomen,
waist baths, etc., were also adopted. All this helped to give rest
to and strengthen the digestive organs. After four days, she was
given diluted orange juice thrice a day, in addition to the urine.
These juice-cum-urine fasts were continued for some
days, along with the external treatment, which was also
continued. Later she was allowed coconut milk, sweet-
lime juice, very thin de-fatted butter milk and such other
liquid foods as welL After fifteen days of this regimen, her
intestines had regained a large proportion of their
strength, and the abdominal pains had become a thing of
the past.
Gradually she was allowed solid food. To begin with,
fruits that do not contain fibres were given; then other
fruits, raw vegetables, sprouted cereals and pulses, etc.,
were successively introduced into her diet as found
appropriate. Sudhabahen was delighted to find that she
could now digest all these foods. Cooked food was now
included stage by stage in her daily fare, which was also
digested without any ill effects.
Now Sudhabahen is free from all complaints.
17. GLAUCOMA
Shri Bhikhaji Kalaji, aged 41, residing in the
Jamalpur area of Ahmadabad, who earns his living by dint
of hard labour, working day and night at hauling goods
from place to place in a handcart, came to me and handed me a
written statement on 3rd November, 1958. He used to have
sharp shooting pains in his temples. Headaches was a frequent
complaint. His vision had been impaired, making it difficult for
him to see clearly in the even ings or at night. His eyes used to be
bloodshot and watered continually. He had been troubled by
these symptoms for about a year. How much can a man earning
his living by hard labour afford to spend on treatment? Still, he
had spent some 500 rupees over the year. He began to worry
about a possible loss of sight. He consulted a reputed
Ophthalmologist. The Ophthalmologist told him that a toxic
liquid was accumulating in the eyeballs behind the pupils, and
that an improvement was possible if the liquid were to be
drained out. The poor, ignorant labourer was dismayed. He
began to worry as to what would happen to his wife and his
young children if something went wrong while needles were
being poked into his eyes for drawing out the liquid, and he went
blind. About this time be came into contact with the
Superintendent of the Municipal Store, Shri Ambalal Patel.
Ambalal Patel had personal experience of Auto-Urine Therapy,
with the help of which he had cured himself of headaches and
pains in the eyes. He, therefore, suggested that Bhikhaji should
try the same therapy. The handcart plier took his advice. He
began to wash his eyes two to three times a day with his own
urine, and to drink three to four ounces of urine twice a day. He
experienced relief from his pains in a week or so. So he
continued the experiment with greater faith. One month's
treatment cured him completely of headaches and pains in the
temples. His vision improved, pains in the eyes decreased, the
redness in the eyes disappeared, leaving the eyes clear, and he
was now able to see clearly even in the poor light of late
evenings.
He got his eyes examined by the same Ophthalmologist
again, after this treatment. After carefully examining the eyes,
the doctor pronounced them to be completely cured.

18. GANGRENE
Dt. 12-12-'63
'Jain Hind' greetings from Prof, Shankarbhai Bhaijibhai,
writing from the township of Old Jithardi. l am in receipt of
the invitation to the Conference. Please accept my thanks
for it. The musk deer keeps wandering everywhere
looking for the source of the aroma of musk, though in
reality the source is in its own navel. In an exactly
analogous fashion, man in his ignorance keeps wasting
time and resources in searching for external means to
restore his health, even though Nature has endowed him
with an infallible means to cure disorders produced by
any cause whatsoever, and to restore him to perfect
health, in the form of his own urine. Often enough the
external means and medicines prove successful in the
treatment of common disorders. But in cases of serious
intractable disorders, man is fated to suffer in futile
wanderings, looking for cures at the expense of time,
energy and wealth-a truth which I have learnt the hard
way through my own experience.
It was about eight months ago that my troubles
began. Even a short walk with my shoes on would cause
my right foot to heat up. After a time, a bunion developed
on that foot, the skin got discoloured as if by suppuration,
and then began to darken. This process was accompanied
by excruciating pain, which became unbearable as time
passed. My doctor adjudged the condition to be
gangrenous. Two weeks of treatment with medicines and
injections as prescribed by him failed to show any
improvement. Two surgeons in Baroda were consulted.
The final diagnosis was gangrene, caused by obstruction
in the artery of the leg, resulting in poor supply of blood to
the big toe. There was a chance that an operation might
correct the condition. If that failed, the only alternative
would be amputation of the leg above the knee. Gambling on the
possibility that an operation 'might correct' the condition, I had
the operation performed. During the succeeding week, which I
spent in the nursing home, I did feel better. I was discharged
after the incision healed. The pain was less severe now, but the
progressive emaciation of the calf muscles was not arrested.
Medication and injections were continued after the operation as
advised by the doctors, but no notable improvement took place. I
went back to the surgeon. He advised me to continue the tablets
and injections for some more time, if they proved to be of
benefit, well and good. If not, amputation would be the only
alternative left. I began to feel that I would not get any peace till
the leg was amputated. The sharp shooting pains did not allow
me to sleep. I could not take adequate food. I had lost my
appetite. I began to consider seriously what I should do next.
I knew about your book ‘Manav Mootra’, but had not taken
any interest in this therapeutic system so far. But now I sent for
it, and its perusal heartened me. I gave considerable thought to
the matter for a few days, and then, some two months ago, I
visited the research centre. Under the guidance of Naranbhai at
the centre, I fasted completely for five days. The course of
treatment I followed consisted of drinking all the urine passed
during the day, and using the urine passed during the night for
massaging the body and wet applications on the toe. As the pain
was lessened by these measures, I began to entertain hopes
that Auto-Urine Therapy would effect a complete cure. The nail
of the big toe and the skin on the lower part of the toe had
turned black. Dr Maganbhai, who supervises the Urine-Therapy
Centre, advised me to get it excised, and at my request, he
excised them himself. Deciding that I would continue the
treatment at home, I consulted Naranbhai for advice regarding
the measures to be taken at home. I have continued Urine
Therapy after returning home, but now I allow myself simple and
light food twice a day. I use very little salt in my food even now.
Auto-Urine Therapy has effected a fifty to sixty per cent
improvement in these last two months. My general health
has also improved. I am confident that in about two or
three months more, a complete cure will be effected by
this therapy.
Note : This gentleman visited the Centre again on 1 -
4-'64, and submitted to an examination to demonstrate
that he has recovered completely. This case is the first of
its kind in India.

19. WOUND
Dr Armstrong was on one occasion introduced to a
42-year-old soldier whose account of his woes in
substance was as summarised below :
A year prior to his meeting Dr Armstrong, he had
been wounded in the arm near the elbow by a bullet.
The bullet had been removed, but the wound had not
healed. He used to go to the out-patients department
of the hospital every week for getting the wound
cleaned up and dressed. He used to experience
intense pain during the dressing. Frequently there
was suppuration in the wound despite the ongoing
treatment. The doctors feared that the wound might
ultimately turn gangrenous.
Dr Armstrong advised him to try Auto-Urine Therapy.
In spite of the objections of his wife, he got himself
admitted to Dr Armstrong's nursing home. He was fasted
for three days on his own urine (supplemented by water).
The wound was treated by application of wet packs
soaked in urine for the duration of one hour three times
every day and his whole body was massaged lightly with
three-day-old urine.
After three days the patient was allowed a little liquid
food. The urine applications and massages were
continued.
Only ten days' treatment with urine effected a complete
healing of the wound! What could not be achieved by medical
treatment and antiseptic ointments over a period of one year
was accomplished by means of Auto-Urine Therapy in just ten
days-an unforgettable miracle of healing.

20. LEPROSY
Shri Kanjibhai Mohanlal, aged 32, was working in the
weaving section of a textile mill in Ahmadabad. He had been
suffering from great pain in the right hand and arm for four
years. The skin of the hand had developed red patches which
were painful.
In the initial stages of the disorder, he consulted a skin
specialist whose consulting rooms were situated on Relief Road
in Ahmadabad citv. He diaenosed lenrosv and prescribed
certain tablets and a course of ten injections. This treatment
failed to effect any improvement. On the contrary, the pain
intensified.
Later he consulted the skin specialist at the Gulab Bai
Hospital. This specialist, too, wrote out a prescription for a
course of medicines and injections. Kanjibhai used to go to a
nearby physician Dr Pushpendra Bhatt for the injections. This
course of treatment too failed to bring about any improvement.
To this patient, who was by now completely disheartened
by the repeated failures, Dr Pushpendra Bhatt sent for perusal
of Ravjibhai Patel's article on Urine Therapy. He was impressed
by the article, and began to treat himself by the method
described in it. Initially he fasted for three days on urine
supplemented by some water. After that the urine massages
were also included in the treatment. In the short period of only a
month or so, he noted considerable improvement.
One day he went to see Ravjibhai. Offering his thanks, he
gave an account of his experiences. In conclusion, he
said, 'The muscular pain in my right hand has
disappeared completely. The right arm, which had
become rigid, can now be flexed without discomfort. I was
not able to work with the right hand, but now I can do so
with ease. And though still there is a partial lack of
sensitivity in certain area of the skin, I am confident that
the sensitivity will be fully restored. I have derived great
benefit from Auto-Urine Therapy. The sore discolored
patches on the skin have also healed/'
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
21. PSORIASIS
Shri Popatlal Govindji Lakhani, originally hailing
from Porbandar, had been practising as a solicitor in
Mumbai for twenty to twenty-five years, and is now
residing once again in Porbandar after retirement. He
suffered for almost twenty-five years from psoriasis. He
has sent me a detailed description of how painful the
disease was, and how a cure was effected through the
agency of Auto-Urine Therapy. I present here a slightly
abridged version of his account. His account was written
on 30-7-'60.
Respected Ravjibhai,
Slightly over twenty-five years ago, I contracted
psoriasis. This is a disease that is very slow in its
development in its initial stages. A blister similar to that
caused by a burn or the pinching of a shoe is formed. The
only difference is that unlike the one caused by a burn,
this blister is not filled with fluid. The outer skin of the
blister keeps peeling off and is continually replaced by a
new cover. Such blisters go on spreading almost
imperceptibly. They generally form on the skin over joints.
In my case they began to be formed on both legs just
below the knees. The skin felt as if it was drying up, and there
was uncontrollable itching. I took it to be eczema, but later as
the diseased area spread, I got more and more worried. On
scratching, fine silvery powder would come off. It was extremely
difficult to keep myself from scratching the affected parts. At that
time I was practising in the High Court in Mumbai. I consulted Dr
Rebello, who was a specialist in skin diseases. It was during this
consultation that I came to know that the disease is called
psoriasis. He prescribed injections, medicines and ointments. I
learnt that this disease is incurable, and though with luck, it can
be controlled and its spread arrested, a cure was out of the
question. Treatment as prescribed by Dr Rebello did arrest the
spread of the disease. Later my patience having been
exhausted, or perhaps because I had become used to the
discomforts caused by the disease, this treatment was
discontinued. But as the condition got progressively worse,
I came to try Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic and other
treatments as advised from time to time by various persons. In
fact, Ayurvedic treatment as prescribed by Vaidyaraaj Gadre,
who lives in a lane near Zaoba Temple, effected an almost
complete cure. But this happy state of affairs did not last long.
Soon the same skin areas began to itch with the same intensity,
causing once again the same harassment and the same
embarrassment. For the last few years, I had been applying
coconut oil to the skin on my hands, face, head, abdomen (i.e.
all areas affected by psoriasis), and that helped to keep the skin
soft and the itching under control. This ritual of application of
coconut oil had to be gone through three or four times a day.
Any omission in this matter would bring swift punishment in the
shape of increased discomfort. The skin on the back of the
hands would crack, blood would oose out, and such other
afflictions would start troubling me once again. But I had learnt
to tolerate all this, consoling myself that 'this disease is, after all,
incurable/ What with psoriasis affecting my hands, feet and face,
I presented a very ugly sight.
Last night, as I was discussing with my family how
psoriasis had tormented me, and how there had been a
sudden and almost miraculous cure, the memories of the
whole history of my disease over a period of exactly
twenty-nine years came flooding back to my mind. I have
suffered greatly from this disease. My skin had become so
vulnerable to the disease that even a slight bruise caused
by rubbing against a wall would cause it to bleed, and that
area would thenceforth become affected by the disease. I
find myself unable to express the agony caused by the
disease in words.
In spite of having been harassed for the span of more
than twenty-five years by the disease, and reduced to
desperate straits, I had sincerely given up all intentions of
treatment or hopes of improvement in the conviction that
the disease was incurable. But something happened,
which was to change this situation. I happened to see
your book at the residence of Dr Dattani of Porbandar. He
had begun a study of the book with the intention of
treating cases of cancer by the methods recommended
therein. I borrowed the book and read it through with close
attention in two days. I discussed it with him. I thought of
trying out the system on myself, primarily to enthuse his
cancer patients to adopt this method of treatment and to
inspire them with confidence and faith in the therapy.
On the 12th of June 1960,1 began to collect my
urine in bottles. When three half-litre bottles had been
filled with it, I began urine massages. As recommended
in your book, I got my whole body massaged with urine
that had been aged and warmed till comfortably
lukewarm. This was on the night of the 16th of June. To
my delighted astonishment, on the very next day, the
17th June, in the morning, I found my skin considerably
softer and smoother, the tendency of the skin to peel off
was found to have been reduced, and, as you have stated in
the book, the skin of the whole body was found to be smoother
and healthier after a bath. That day I brushed my teeth with
urine, as you have suggested, to prepare myself for drinking
urine. I began drinking 'Shivambu' from the 18th. On the 19th I
requested Dr Dattani to examine my body. He was even more
delighted than I had been at the improvement, and
experienced the thrill of success in the experiment to an even
greater extent in his professional capacity.
I have continued the drinking of 'Shivambu'
uninterruptedly from the 16th of June, 1960. I massage my
body from the top of my head to the soles of my feet with urine.
For an hour after that I engage in physical activity requiring
exertion, and follow it up with a bath. My skin is now
completely healthy. There is no peeling, and I do not recollect
having been troubled by the itching after the 16th of June. I am
convinced that psoriasis has finally bidden me good-bye.
However, I have not discontinued the massages as I cannot
bring myself to forego the sheer pleasure, and the smoothness
of the skin, that the massages bring. Constipation and other
minor ailments too seem to have been banished by
'Shivambu'. I feel fresh and energetic. I have a good appetite.
A sense of Joy and cheer pervades my mind.
I have been narrating my experiences and my successful
application of Auto-Urine Therapy to a large number of persons.
Some of them have begun to experiment with it in their own
cases, and have reported successes. The results in my own
case have amazed all my friends and relatives. And as for me,
when, if ever, am I going to have another more direct experience
of the miiaculous workings of the Almighty's will?
(Manav Mootra : Ravjibhai Patel)
23. FEVER
Narendra Gandhi, a young man of 25, used to have fever
every ten to twelve days. The temperature would rise to 102° or
103°, and the fever would persist for three days or so. The
fever would subside on treatment, but it could not be eradicated
permanently. This state of affairs continued for about two and a
half years. His body had become emaciated under the effects
of the powerful toxic medicines he was required to take.
Various medicines and injections had been tried under the
instructions of doctors. He had X-ray photographs taken and
blood and spittle examined, but to no avail. A doctor suggested
tonsillectomy. So Narendra had his tonsils removed. But the
fever kept recurring. No one had been able to find out the root
cause of these fevers. Tired of all these futile treatments,
Narendra came to me. "Doctor," he said, "it has not been
possible to diagnose my malaise properly. Are you willing
to take up my case? Do you think Auto-Urine Therapy will
help?"
I replied with a smile, "There is no need of a
diagnosis in Urine Therapy. All you have got to do is to
drink your own urine regularly, with faith. You will
certainly get cured."
He was made to fast for two days on fruit juices, and
then he was put on urine fasts. The second day after the
commencement of the urine fast, he contracted a severe
cold, and he had a bitter taste in the mouth. Narendra got
frightened. But I consoled him, and encouraged him to
continue the experiment, assuring him that there was no
need to worry, and that he was definitely going to get
well.
The cold disppeared completely in two days. On the
seventh day the bitter taste in the mouth was gone. As he
was fooling extremely weak i began to give him fruit juices
in a addition to the urine which he was to drink.
To his great surprise, it was some twenty days before
he had the next attack of fever, and even that attack was
so mild as to be no more than a vestigeal remnant. The
temperature rose only to 100° F and dropped to normal on
the very next day. When he came to see me after some six
months, he had a rosy complexion. "How are you keeping
now?" I asked. "Very well indeed," was the reply. "I have
not had fever since we parted."
24. HEADACHE
Somabhai Patel had been having headaches for five
years. Though the headaches were never very severe, he
used to have a feeling of heaviness in the head. He was
unable to concentrate on his work. He was for this reason
in a constant state of agitated concern.
He underwent numerous tests and treatments, consulted
numerous specialists, had X-rays of his head taken, got his
sinuses cleaned, had a CAT-scan at a famous hospital in
Mumbai. Treatment would bring temporary relief, but as soon as
the effects of the medicines wore out, the headache would come
back, which meant that the headache was suppressed rather
than cured.
Once when he visited a friend, he chanced to see a book
on Auto-Urine Therapy. Reading it awakened the desire to try it
out in his own case. He came to me for guidance in the methods
of the system. I advised him to try simple fasts and
magnetotherapy, but Somabhai insisted on Auto-Urine Therapy.
Within ten days of initiating the treatment with a cupful (200
ml) of urine three times a day, the first signs of improvement
became apparent. The pain gradually lessened after that, and
after sixteen days of the treatment, there was no trace of the
trouble.
The wise one should leave out the first and the last portions of
the urine, and collect only the middle portion. This is considered
the best procedure. (7)
Just as there is poison in the mouth and the tail of the serpent, 0
Parvati, it is even so in the case of the flow of Shivambu. (8)
Conti nuation of the practice for six months makes the practitioner
highly intelligent and proficient in the scriptures, and if the duration is
seven months, the practitioner acquires extraordinary strength. (13)
A man who has continued the practice for a year becomes the equal of
the sun in radiance. He who has continued it for two years conquers
the element Earth. (16)
If the practice is continued for three years, one conquers the element
Water, and if it is continued for four years, the element Ligj,t is also
conquered. (17)
He who continues the practice for five years conquers the element Air,
and he who continues it for seven years conquers pride. (18)
Continuation of the practice for eight years enables one to conquer all
the important elements of Nature, and continuation of it for nine years
frees one from the cycle of birth and death. (19)
One who has continued the practice for ten years can fly
through the air without effort. One who has continued it for
eleven years is able to hear the voice of his soul (his inner self).
(20)
He who has continued the practice for twelve years will live so
long as the moon and the stars last. He is not troubled by
dangerous animals such as snakes, and no poisons can kill
him. He cannot be consumed by fire, and can float on water just
like wood. (21)
O Goddess! I shall tell you now about other variants of the therapy. Please
listen attentively. He who takes powdered amrita (gaduchi, Tinospora
Condifolia) mixed with Auto-Urine habitually for six months, is freed from
all disorders, and acquires happiness. (22, 23 contd.)
He who takes Shivambu daily and excludes salty, sour and bitter foods
from his diet acquires divine accomplishments quickly. Freed from all
ailments, and possessing a body comparable to that of Shiva Himself,
he disports himself like the gods in the Universe for an eternity. (30,
31)
He who regularly takes the juice of the leaves of the neem tree
by itself as well as mixed with Shivambu, attains the state of a
Yogi, and acquires splendour comparabie to that of the gods.
(32)
And he who drinks his own urine to which honey and crystal sugar
have been added is relieved of all diseases in six months. His speech
becomes pleasing and he becomes clear-headed. (40)
Therefore urine that has not been matured or aged should never be
used' for massaging the body. On the other hand, 0 Goddess, if
properly matured urine is used for the purpose, all attainments are
within one's grasp. (51)
The urine and faeces of one who drinks Shivambu regularly can impart
a white colour to gold. The practitioner who uses a mixture of Shiro-
emtit. dew and Shivambu for massaging his body acquires great
strength, and freedom from all ailments, (53)
The Yogi who drinks his own urine every morning regularly for three
years, and abjures salty, hot and bitter foods for that period wi II conq
uer I ust, and be the master of his desires. (54)
One who follows this practice for three years acquires great
strength and valour; he becomes a veritable god on Earth. He
becomes omniscient, acquires all spiritual attainments, can expound
even the Scriptures and Sciences which he has not studied, and all
the three worlds are visible to him. (61)
The practitioner who drinks Shivambu with the powder of the five parts
of the Sharapunkha (Oevnaa~ plant, acquires pre-eminence among
the Yogis, and enjoys spiritual ecstasy. (62)
He who licks a grain of the juice of white Kaner (Nerium Odorurn) and
then takes a drink of Shivambu every day will be free from epilepsy
(and mental disorders) within a year. (74)
The juice of the leaves of Keveli should be mixed with the juice of
Bhringaraaj leaves, and taken with honey, crystal sugar and
ghee. The mixture is like a thick paste, and has to be licked.
One who takes this mixture regularly will be free from the signs
of old age, and his hair will remain black. (80)
If the practitioner of the system massages his body thrice during the
day and thrice during the night with Shivambu, longevity will be
conferred upon him. (86)
Even if he drinks Shivambu only once a day and massages his body
with it once a day, he becomes capable of great exploits. If this
practice is followed for three years, his body will acquire radiance, he
will become the master of all arts and sciences, he will acquire veracity
and felicity of speech, and he will live so long as the moon and the
stars continue to exist. (88, 89)
