		<description>[quote]vitualis said: &quot;In the &quot;survival&quot; situation, drinking your own urine will only work for a very short period of time - possibly one or two days.  After that, the concentration of urea and salt in your urine will be above serum levels - i.e., you&#039;ll need more water from your body to get rid of the electrolytes in your urine than the actual water you&#039;ve consumed.  This is basically why drinking seawater does not help with dehydration.  Worse still, urea is quite nauseating and if you vomit after drinking your pee, you&#039;ll lose even more water.

If you are in a survival situation and you have to drink water to stay alive it would work for longer than a few days if you were not eating. You will not build up higher consentrations of anything in your urine if you are not bringing anything more into your body.</description>

		<description>People hear about Indians drinking their urine...but what they don&#039;t hear, is the Ayurveda that goes into it. Apparently, they consume certain herbs which causes them to excrete err...medicated urine, which they consume without any problems.
They&#039;d be thoroughly amused when they hear that their western counterparts drink raw urine :)  Yuk! Come on guys! Pure water is the best thing for us.</description>
