I suppose if you spend all your time resending articles about urine drinking, it starts to sound all kinds of normal after a while, as long as you are a nutcase. ...I know you won't believe me, but I try not to judge sanity any more. I've done so much crazy shit in my own time on the planet, that even when I know someone is nuts, as long as he's not dangerous to me, I just nod and smile. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 11, 2022 Share #55 Posted January 11, 2022 ...did you know that back in the Olden Tymes of Medicine, physicians (or preferably you hired an assistant and outsourced it), would taste your urine to see if it tasted sweet, thus diagnosing diabetes ? No, I'm probably the only one in this thread who is old enough to remember that. Anyway, to my point (and I do have one), if you're healthy and without some sort of UTI, your urine should be sterile when it comes out of your pee pee. It's probably a lot safer to drink than a lot of public water fountains, The ones that get used a lot and don't get cleaned much, anyway. Diabetes Testing: Evolving From Taste To Test Quote Diabetes was first identified as early as 1500 BC, and in 600 BC physicians recorded that ants were attracted to sugar in patients’ urine. During the Middle Ages doctors used uroscopy - a practice where they studied urine to diagnose medical conditions. They consulted intricately designed urine flavor charts that described the sight, smell and taste of urine. The one disease that they diagnosed correctly was diabetes because of the sweet taste of a patient’s urine. Quote In 1674, an English doctor named Thomas Willis described diabetic urine as “wonderfully sweet as if it were imbued with honey or sugar.” The first clinical test for sugar in urine was developed in 1841 by Karl Trommer, which involved subjecting a urine sample to acid hydrolysis.

Made me wonder how one starts drinking their own urine, is it in coffee or tea? https://gearjunkie.com/biking/arrowhead-135-race-2014 Puzak nearly became one of the stats with just a couple miles to the end. His water was gone, he could barely move. But he had to pee. He put some snow in a water bottle, unzipped and urinated inside. The slosh melted and made some liquid, then Puzak drank it. “It saved me,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabetes Testing: Evolving From Taste To Test The direct descendant of this practice can be found in the National Wastewater Surveillance system that tracks Covid. National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) – a new public health tool to understand COVID-19 spread in a community | CDC They no longer hire people to directly taste your pee, but they do diagnose the prevalence of various disease by testing. UCONN has a system in place where they are able to test and identify the presence of too much disease in the waste from each individual dorm. This helps them in determining if a particular portion of the campus population needs to be locked down or not. Obviously there is always someone around looking to stir up shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida isn't that much different from the average any more outside of political stuff that is not meant for this forum. Florida is among the higher percentage vaccinated states (darker = higher): The Mayo Clinic's "Hot Spot" for total case rates doesn't show any cold spots anymore, though some very-high vaccination rate states like Maryland and Oregon are a little lower than avg. but still high (black = 17,500 cases/100,000 population or more, other colors less): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believing one is immune because of a vaccine and that one no longer has to be careful around others is a recipe for disaster. But I don't care. I'm going to a crowded restaurant tonight and a family gathering tomorrow is the stuff of bad dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
