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
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
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.

physicians
(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, coordinates 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
(Thalidomide Tragedy)
Do only thalidomide and penicillin cause such sideeffects? 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,
needs from the urine in the stomach, and what it does not need
will be disposed of by the digestive system in the usual way.
It has been observed in many cases that giving the urine
of another healthy person to a patient suffering from anuria, or
lack of urine, results in the removal of the obstruction and leads
to a free flow of urine.
Objection 7 : Auto-urine therapy has not been tried in
experiments on animals, nor have its advantages and
disadvantages been studied scientifically in such
experiments, as is usual in medical research.
Clarification : Modern drugs are highly potent and their
effects are drastic. It would therefore perhaps be logical to try
them out on animals in preliminary studies; but urine is not such
a powerful and potentially lethal chemical as to necessitate
experimentation on animals in a preliminary study. And to those
who insist on such studies it may be pointed out that some
animals instinctively do lick their own urine or that of others of
their species. Many of us have been witnesses to such
occurrences.
It cannot be assumed that a substance or a drug will have
the same effects on human beings as it has on other animals.
Let us not forget that thalidomide had been tested on animals
and was found to be harmless in those studies. This very drug
had to be withdrawn from the market overnight, when women
who had been using it during their pregnancies began to give
births to terribly defective babies, leading to a massive agitation
demanding the banning of the drug. This is an incident that has
become known all over the world. The victims of this drug are
even today leading helpless and dependent lives.
No one can confidently state that the drugs approved as
safe today will still prove safe five, ten or fifteen years from now.
Dr Dale Friend, head of the Department of Pharmacology at the
Bridham Hospital in Boston, states unequivocally : "No drug can
be considered entirely safe." The implication of this statement is
style.
Objection 9 : Is it not likely that the benefits attributed
to auto-urine therapy are actually due to auto-suggestion or
faith?
Clarification : Really speaking, this is an argument that
applies more appropriately to allopathic drugs. The string of
letters following the doctor's name signifying highly impressive
degrees, his attractive personality set off by the westernised
dress, the dispensary or the consulting room with its carpet,
curtains, air-conditioner, etc., the waiting room humming with the
sotto voce conversations of the patients, all these are sufficient
to make a deep impression on the patient. The patient really
comes to believe that his disease will necessarily have to flee. If
such confidence were not inspired, there would have existed
only a small hut where the palace or success of allopathy stands
today. Dr William Osier, whose name is inscribed in golden
letters in the recent history of modern therapeutics, has stated
very unambiguously that the history of modern therapeutics is in
reality the history of the placebo', i.e. of tablets that contain no
therapeutic agent or drug but are given to the patient to reassure
him that he is being given medicines. Thus even Dr Osier
acknowledges that faith has been more effective than drugs in
the cures effected by allopathy. And perhaps no other person
can express an opinion about drugs with greater authority than
Dr Osier.
No practitioner or adherent of auto-urine therapy can
inspire the faith and confidence that an allopathic doctor can
inspire with his pomp and parapharnalia.
The patients who resort to auto-urine therapy have usually
tried the allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic and other systems
beforehand. To say that all these patients have been cured
merely by faith is to argue that faith is a more effective curative
agency than the drugs and treatments of all these systems. The
implication is that all these patients could have been cured
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.

Summary:
1. Auto-urine therapy is indisputably beneficial in the
treatment of numerous disorders. But it would not be
proper to claim that it is a fail-proof remedy for all
disorders.
2. Treatment with self urine is inadvisable in disorders such
as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney failure.
3. In case the condition of the patient is found to
deteriorate after commencement of auto-urine therapy,
consult an expert in this system of therapy.
torture to her.
Bakula used to mumble now and again that it was better
that God should grant her death rather than make it necessary
to take those injections. But we had to force her to take the
injections, for her own good, as directed by the doctor. One day,
having come to the limits of her endurance due to the constant
stress of worrying about cancer on the one hand and the torture
of the injections on the other, Bakula attempted suicide. Her
condition brought tears of pity to our eyes. After all, we were not
her enemies. But we had no alternative except the treatment
prescribed by the doctor. But finally we decided not to force her
to complete the remaining two courses of ABVD. As there was
no possibility of freeing her from the clutches of cancer if the six
courses were not completed, there was now nothing to do
except wait for the inevitable end.
But either the prayers of my father bore fruit, or the luck of
the children exerted its influence. Whatever the reason, we
chanced upon the miraculous means of snatching Bakula back
from the very jaws of Death.
In a periodical run by the Bania (Vanik) community, an
account of how a cancer patient, Nanubhai Chitalia, was granted
a new lease of life, had been published. One of our well-wishers
recommended that we go through the account. My father-in-law
took Bakula with him to see Nanubhai Chitalia at his home in the
Kalbadevi area of Mumbai. Nanubhai asked her to take courage,
recounted his own experience, and persuaded her to forget her
disgust and courageously embark on a course of auto-urine
therapy. He gave her detailed instructions as to how to go about
it.
Bakula prepared herself for the treatment in February 1985.
It was not at all easy for her to bring herself to drink her own
urine. But death was staring her in the face. There was also the
worry about the children and me. She was prepared to do
anything for us, if not for herself. She stopped taking spicy and
fried foods, and began to drink her own urine three times a
day. The effects were miraculous! What the doctors in
Ahmadabad and Mumbai could not do, what could not be
achieved even after spending thousands of rupees, was
effected easily and inexpensively by auto-urine therapy.
After about ten days, Baku la's fever subsided, her
appetite was restored, and she began to put on weight.
Gradually, as the months of March, April and May passed,
the hair which had been lost began to grow again, the
sunken cheeks began to fill out, her face acquired a new
radiance, her weight began to increase, and she began to
feel energetic. Bakula had returned to us after knocking at
the portals of death, and her health had been restored to
such an extent as to enable her to turn the tables, and
start taking care of the children and the family, who had
been taking care of her. Her weight used to be around 44
to 45 kg before her illness. It had dropped to 34 kg during
the illness. But now, in January '86, it has gone up to 51
kg!
Really, I wonder why people waste money on
doctors and treatments in cases of minor ailments, when
auto-urine therapy is available, which can effect a cure
even in cases of such terrible diseases as cancer?

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,
5.
INDIGESTION
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)

CHRONIC COLD
7. TUBERCULOSIS
Note : The very first person on whom Dr J. W. Armstrong 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.
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 bodya 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.
At 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
II
fasting of others [on urine] on the same lines [along which I had
regained my health]."
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.

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
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

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 oneyear 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.
The doctor returned on 'N. A. D.' report, and said, "There
is nothing wrong with your digestive system. I am
therefore discharging you from the nursing home.' I asked
him, "What am I to do now?" To which his reply was,
"Consult a physician. This is not a matter for surgeons."
The pain, of course, persisted. I returned home.
Treatment was resumed under the guidance of a
physician. A course often injections of Avofortin was
completed. It gave me complete relief. There was no pain
for about six weeks or so. Then it started again.
Meanwhile I chanced upon a copy of your book 'Manav
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
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,
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.

'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
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
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.
cupful of urine three times a day. At the end of the third week,
the first sign of improvement was exhibited : The sticky fluid
stopped oozing out of the skin. This encouraged me. My
aversion to the taste of urine had also decreased. I increased the
dosage. After another month, the affected areas stopped itching.
At the end of two months, scabs began to be shed from the
blackened and embrittled skin. The colour of the skin began to
lighten. This process was extremely slow. The skin took four
months to be restored to its healthy condition. My delight knew
no bounds.
As I became more enthusiastic about urine therapy, I began
to use urine as eye-drops too. My vision began to improve.
Before this treatment, I was not able to read fine print without
glasses. Now I could read such small letters without the use of
glasses.
My hair began to turn grey. The treatment had the effect of
restoring its black colour. This was a matter of boundless
wonder and delight for me. I have come to believe that one's
own urine is a nectar on earth. Regular ingestion of urine has
reinvigorated and rejuvenated my body.
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

used to have a feeling of heaviness in the head. He was
