The miracle drug that works when all treatments, Eastern or Western, fail-'amaroli.' The term used in India is 'shivambu.' In English, it's called auto-urine therapy, the practice of drinking your own urine.
Auto-urine therapy is a wide spread practice that has fallen into obscurity within the past century. Often used to preserve health, cure disease, or perfect morning yoga meditations, this practice requires drinking a small amount of one's own urine from the first morning release.
According to Berne and Levy's Physiology, urine is made up of Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, Pi, urea, and creatinine, all nontoxic ions and compounds. When pharmaceutical companies realized the potential of urine years ago, they make billions from separating proteins, hormones, and other small substances found in urine and marketing them as expensive health products.
Auto-urine therapy may even be the future of cancer treatment. According to a research study published by Dr. Joseph Eldor in "Medical Hypotheses," cancer cells secrete antigens-particles from a tumor-that are capable of triggering the body's immune system to attack the tumor. Some of these antigens wind up in the urine. If a cancer patient ingests his or her own urine, the immune system is then provided with very specific information about the tumor. With that information, the body is able to learn what the cancer cells look like and instigate a tailored attack.
Australian researchers point to melatonin as the biochemical connection between amaroli and yoga meditation. According to Mills and Faunce in "Melatonin supplementation from early morning auto-urine drinking," in Medical Hypotheses, at night when there is no light, the pineal gland causes the secretion of melatonin. This chemical has been shown to induce a sleepy state and decreased awareness of pain in lab rats, guinea pigs, and people. Incidentally, melatonin is also found in morning urine, and is possibly the reason why amaroli-practicing yogis are able to comfortably settle into one position for two hours and achieve a deeper inner peace from their meditation.
