Rating:  - I've been pissing away the water of life, apparently
According to Van Der Kroon (or should I say Van Der LOON), the cure-all tonic you've been searching for is a just a toilet bowl away. Thats right, pee - the magical substance which flooded my pants every time I laughed too hard as a kid, can cure everything from acne to ulcers. Now the sophisticated nature lover can flood their body with one or two cancer-fighting molecules by drinking their own wizz instead of being bothered to brew those difficult tea bags which only contain a million times more cancer fighting free-radicals and are lacking of that tangy body processed urine taste. You can also help save the environment and wash less glasses by just lying on your back and peeing in a beautiful backwards arc right back into your mouth.
On a more truthful note, its depressing that people actually believe this. There is zero medical evidence, with the exception that the human body does pee away excess vitamins that it cannot process. But leave it up to Eastern medicine to come up with the ultra-conservationist attitude: instead of just eating additional vitamin containing foods, you can just drink your own homemade Mountain Dew. Next time an unpopular kid with acne is looking for an easier cure, just suggest putting urine on their face... how could that possibly be fodder for a lifetime of painful teasing?
For true alcoholics, drinking your own urine might be okay after a night of binge drinking to get your money's worth, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. Besides, everyone knows that urine isnt good for your skin. (...)
Rating:  - Urine Therapy for health, beauty, longevity, sexual potency.
I was enormously impressed by this book. Its author strikes me as a responsible and highly intelligent person who has made an important discovery and wishes, for humanitarian reasons, to make it known to the world.
Kroon first became interested in urine therapy in India after sustaining a serious injury to his foot. When instead of healing, the foot gradually grew worse, someone suggested that he use urine compresses. Having nothing to lose he decided to give it a try - and it worked! He then set about researching the subject, both in India and the West, and 'The Golden Fountain - The Complete Guide to Urine Therapy' brings us the fruits of his research and his years of practical experience.
Although not a large book it's packed with an enormous amount of fascinating and valuable information, too much to even begin to adequately describe. After a brief Introduction, Kroon takes up the history of Urine therapy in both the West - where it was used to cure innumerable complaints in earlier centuries - and in the East.
Urine, we learn, has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-cancer properties. Also, by strengthening the immune system and correcting the imbalance which underlies most disease, it can in many cases help to cure just about anything, and it has other valuable properties too.
A chapter on Applications is included which describes the various ways urine can be used, both internally and externally, to promote health, beauty, longevity, and even sexual potency! Detailed instructions are given on drinking, bathing, gargling, douching, eye and ear drops, sniffing, massage, compresses, rubbings, foot and hip baths, scalp and hair massages, and other applications.
Chapter 5 is devoted to the 'Medical and Scientific Aspects of Urine Therapy.' In it we learn that urine, far from being the nasty stuff most of us suppose, is a veritable natural pharmacy. It is a sterile liquid, filtered from the blood by our kidneys, and consists of energized structured water plus upwards of some 200 substances.
Among these substances are such things as amino acids, proteins, enzymes, vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, B6,B12, ascorbic acid, etc.), hormones (gonadotropin, vasopressin, cortisone, testosterone, oestrogen, etc.) urea, allantoin, DHEA, H-11, HUD, Interleukin, prostaglandin, and so on.
Some of these are in fact being extracted from urine by today's pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, repackaged, and sold to us under various names - though without of course telling us where they came from. Chapter 5 concludes with a 60-item bibliography of the scientific literature.
The book then moves on to a section of personal testimonies from people around the world who have experienced the remarkable health-promoting powers of urine therapy. Their general attitude is pretty well summed up by one gentleman from India who wrote: "Urine therapy is the gift of God - a panacea - for human beings and animals" (page 80).
Kroon's is a remarkably rich and interesting book, contains much about the How's and Why's and Wherefore's that I haven't been able to touch on here, and it can be heartily recommended to all open-minded readers. The book is also extremely well written, has a useful general bibliography, and contains a number of interesting photographs, including one of the author.
His glowing complexion would be the envy of many, and you'd be hard put to find a more vibrant, healthy-looking and bright-eyed individual. One begins to feel that, if this is what urine therapy can do for one's health, well-being, and appearance - it might just be worth a try!
Rating:  - Not such a great idea.
Look, don't pee on yourself. It's common sense. If you get some kind of sexual pleasure out of being urinated on and drinking urine, well, go to it and have a good time, I guess. But don't pretend that it's some kind of 'therapy.' Be honest with yourself.
I suppose that this book is a good place to start if you already like to piss on yourself and you're looking for a good explanation in case your husband finds out. Yep, just keep this book handy and whip 'er out when anybody tries to tell you you're a pervert. This book is just a classic case of new age therapy techniques gone way too far. Next thing you know, they'll have you pulling feces out of public toilets and shoving it up your nose; it's not a far cry from what Van Der Kroon is actually suggesting.
Rating: - Superb
My great-uncle Howard used to entertain us as children with tales of his travels in the Levant and near-East in the 1920s. We were shocked and disbelieving of his account of an iman in Ankhara who used to slash in his own face every morning after his dawn ablutions - now I see that he was not being mischievous. I must say that while I still prefer a cup of oolong in the morning, Coen van der Kroon's excellent guide to urine therapy makes fascinating reading.
Rating: - It hits the spot!
This book was given to my as a gag gift, but I actually took the time to read it and all I can say is "wow"!
I used this therapy to help break my heroin addiction, and now I use it to maintain a positive, healthy lifestyle. There have been no relapses, and cravings I've felt in the past just aren't there this time around. If you have any type of addiction, from food to sex, this is the book for you.
Modern science may be a wonderful thing but take it from me - nothing beats a nice cup of your own urine.
