The water of life ? A 21-year-old man in #Wuhan, #Hubei province claims to have cured his thyroid condition by drinking his own #urine. The man “Xiao Liu” had been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the Wuhan-based PUAI hospital in 2010 and resorted to the unorthodox therapy after being failed by more traditional approaches. I took medicines for 18 months, and stopped because they werent working, he said. Like many of the world’s best ideas… Liu first learn about the medicinal properties of urine sipping online. Liu is now a card-carrying member of the China Urine Therapy Association - a Hong Kong organization founded in 2008. Its founder, Bao Yafu, quaffs down urine with gusto. The 79-year-old retired engineer said he has researched the healing powers of pee for the past two decades. Doctors, however, claim that there is still insufficient evidence of its effectiveness and a physician at PUAI, where Liu was initially treated, dismissed the practice as unscientific. Netizens on Sina Weibo were not convinced. Many Chinese people misunderstand the diet therapy. Nutrient food plus proper physical training can shape you body and be healthy. @Bamboo1985 As far as I know, some seniors of martial arts master in Southern China used the treatment. They drunk their urine to heal internal injury. @Nideqinghcunwenliaihaoxiang Different world value decides different action. I prefer dying to drinking urine. @Yizhitiaotiaohu Adapted from ECNS
