Whitening of teeth in Ancient Rome.
editThe Urine article states that "Urine was also used for whitening teeth in Ancient Rome" and links to this article with the internal link #Rome. If there was ever mention of this in Urine Therapy, it has now gone. 92.3.210.86 (talk) 14:48, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Please mention that urine therapy is in NO way safe or is actually proven to do anything. It's been documented that its rather harmful. 122.151.223.169 (talk) 17:15, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

pretty interesting npov
editit feels like one of the interesting articles where much of the real discussion is hidden in the archives .. the intro phrase "No scientific evidence exists to support any beneficial health claims of urine therapy." seems just plain wrong - written by ideology and pecuniary greed. later down it becomes even more interesting as "untreated" seems the keyword - someone like a ****** company has to extract urea for it to become really beneficial .. jokes aside i tried if for myself today as I had doubts as well - soaked my hand in fresh one for 10 minutes after having strong blue blemishes and my hand significantly improved .. I know that is non scientific - primary source material is never allowed .. the pharisees may rejoice .. Ebricca (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Drinking someone else's urine
editThe article mostly just discusses the supposed benefits of drinking one's own urine, but surely there have to have been claims regarding the benefits of using someone else's urine instead. For example, the idea of specifically utilizing a younger person's urine (for anti-aging purposes), or the urine of someone of the opposite sex, etc. I found one source for something like this (a Thai cult whose followers drank the urine of their leader, a self-proclaimed holy man), and will add a mention of it shortly, but please be on the lookout for more examples. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:210 (talk) 04:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
