You want to know where all these “health” cranks will take you?
If you have a rash…pee on it…
If you have a cut or scar….pee on it.
Want clearer skin….pee on it
Want to feel better….drink your pee
Fasting….drink your pee….
Eye problems?…..take a glass dropper snd pee in it. Every night before bed drip it in your eyes. And in the morning when you wake! Watch your eye strain vanish! Wanna go a step further? How about programming it! Write on a label “Heal eyes/Clear vision”
Notice how in desperate situations when we are stuck in a desert or on a boat we drink our urine and it keeps us alive!! If it was some toxic poison it would kill us! Instead it gives life to go on!! Wake up…. Your urine is the most potent remedy to all your issues and you ignore it. Drink it.
Please don’t do any of that…except that I guess it’s OK to write whatever you want on a label. It just won’t do anything.
If you’re stranded on a desert island, drinking urine won’t keep you alive — it will make your situation worse.
The most common reason for drinking urine in movies and pop media is to stave off dehydration. If someone is lost at sea or deep in the desert, they are sometimes depicted as drinking their own urine to preserve moisture. This is highly unlikely to actually help.
The average adult’s urine contains a significant amount of salt, which gets much more concentrated if you become dehydrated. Dehydrated individuals can quickly reach excessive levels of sodium in their urine.
Consuming more sodium is linked to increasing your thirst. Higher levels of sodium in your body quickly lead to feeling thirstier. By drinking urine, which contains a high concentration of sodium, you can quickly develop a negative feedback loop in which you feel thirstier despite drinking liquids.
Sweating can increase the risks associated with drinking urine. Typically, sweating releases water and salts from your body. When you’re also losing salt in your urine, your electrolyte levels stay balanced. However, when you’re re-consuming the salts from your urine, you are concentrating salts inside your body and making your thirst worse. The field manual for the US Army explicitly recommends avoiding drinking urine as a form of hydration, even in emergency situations.
I think the US Army Field Manual is evidence-based, unlike anything Damien Michaels Extreme says. I predict that Damien Michaels Extreme stinks.
Last week’s God Awful Movies podcast was about the sequence of moving pictures with sound entitled “Urine Good Health,” which pretty much expands on the above list like a grade-school essay.
There is no survival situation in which drinking your own urine is not contra-indicated. It’s full of stuff your body is trying to get rid of; and the only way it can do that is by concentrating it into a stronger and stronger solution. Even then, it can only go up to a maximum concentration, and you are going to be losing moisture through breath and perspiration.
Some first-aid/wilderness survival manuals suggest urinating on a wound as an emergency rinse, given that you will likely already have antibodies to any bacteria or viruses in your pee (so don’t pee on anyone else’s wound, or let them do so on yours).
I rejoice to report I have not had occasion to test this advice.
Addendum to my # 3: Some also advice licking your own wounds, on the same rationale.
Whether this should precede or follow auto-urination remains unclear.
If you hate it then you shoulda put your pee on it!
If you hate it then you shoulda put your pee on it!
Don’t be mad when it swells cause you infected it!
Cuz if you hate it then you shoulda put your pee on it!
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Eye problems?…..take a glass dropper snd pee in it. Every night before bed drip it in your eyes. And in the morning when you wake!…
Your eyes will be gummed shut and bright red from pinkeye.
Sounds like someone got inspired by a pet rat but didn’t pay much attention to what the rat was actually doing. Maybe someone should correct them? They can start a little club where instead of peeing on their wounds they could pee on each other to say hello.
And they proliferate the ignorant insanity of roadkill f*cking kennedy jr. These rtwingnuts want to kill people with their crackpot rants. Now, they are trying to increase the age allowed for covid vaccines to over 75 WTF!
I’d add to this: if you find a flaming rtwing xtian terrorist, don’t waste your urine by pissing on them to put the fire out.
Did this advice come from Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog?
Sounds like it.
Drinking lots of your own pee seems like one unpleasant way to collect your own Darwin award.
I doubt he would be the first, though. See e.g. Case Report: Severe Hypernatremia From Ingestion of One’s Own Urine
I remember reading somewhere that urinating on a wound was a possible irrigation method, if clean water is in short supply.
Urine isn’t sterile, as people often say, but barring a UTI, STI, or some sort of kidney problems, it is most likely free of pathogens.
Otherwise, if you are going to be away from clean water, make sure you bring some with you. Try to avoid being in a situation where you feel you need to drink urine to survive…
I had a rash. I peed on it. It made it much, much worse. And much harder to get rid of.
To be clear, I don’t have much choice but to pee on a rash in that area. Every since I got the everloving-shit beaten out of me, I’ve had leaking problem. I’ve though about seeing a urologist, but I doubt there’s anything they can do for me, and I really hate taking my pants off around other people.
Anyway, don’t pee on a rash. Or a wound. Or put it in your eyes. Or drink it, unless it’s in a safe, sane, and consensual environment and that’s your thing.
I mean watersports is a thing (well a few things really from vanilla to less so) but it ain’t medical advice… or a good healthy idea all the time.
Whatever floats your boat but a uric acid sea really is a yellow sea you may not always enjoy swimming or sailing or wind surfing in..
Just ;like the Lunar seas (mare) do not make for good diving especially when clad in bikinis.
No doubt his breath does.
@1: Gonna have to give that one a listen.
Unfortunately, I now have that damned Dave Chappelle R. Kelly parody song stuck in my head. 🎶I want to piss on you🎶
Reminds me of a joke attributed to W. C. Fields: “Water!? Never touch the stuff…fish fuck in it” or “piss in it” depending on your company. ,.
Learning to make a simple ‘solar still’ from a sheet of plastic, a small rock and any available container can avoid the need to drink one’s own urine even if marooned without fresh water (it also works on sea water).
Although how long do we keep trusting the Army Field Manual ?
Are we sure the next edition is not going to have some RFK or Pete Hegseth inspired recommendations in there ?
Better urine than feces.
Pierce R. Butler@3–
Urine is not completely sterile, but it is effectively sterile, by which I mean it is almost unheard of to acquire an infection from exposure to human urine. (NB: animal urine is a critical vector for leptospirosis.) I suspect the advice to use urine to wash a wound is only helpful if clean water is limited, and I am pretty confident that the concentration of antibodies in urine is not sufficient to convey much antibacterial benefit to skin wounds. In most people, the urine antibody level is extremely low. Our bodies are adapted to retain as much protein as possible and (excuse the anthropomorphisation and the crudity) don’t want to piss away all those useful molecules.
Surely this joker’s taking the piss.

@1 Richard Smith
GAM also had a delicious segment about Dave Murphy on their episode about Level. From what I recall, he was a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey who watched 9/11 happen from a distance, became a 9/11 truther, went “off the grid”, started drinking and washing in his own urine, and became a Flat-Earther.
