Tips & Warnings

• Avoid drinking urine in the presence of a bacterial infection of the urethra or bladder.
• Collect the first urine of the day for the most benefit.
• Drink only fresh urine since urine left standing is a breeding ground for bacteria.
• Stop urine consumption and see your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you experience persistent vomiting.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one that is licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
