A man from Essex County, England claims that drinking his own urine has helped him shed some weight.Dave Murphy, 54, said his special “urine therapy” has helped him lose 112 pounds. .


Murphy spent 30 days in 2012 drinking his own pee. Murphy told the news outlet he used to drink the liquid body waste cold after letting it cool in the fridge but now downs it warm, twice daily. .

“After drinking my urine, I feel healthier and fitter than I’ve ever done before and I’ve lost eight stone (112 pounds) in weight,”said Murphy, a father of two adult children. Since drinking his first glass of pee, Murphy said he’s noticed a lot of improvements. .


Besides the weight loss, Murphy said he has a lot more energy and his bowel movements have improved. The man also claims he’s saved money on food costs because of all the urine he’s consumed. .


He’s also used his own pee as a moisturizer and face wash. Murphy said pee is also an anti-aging agent.


“Urine is a cure-for-all. If people could just change their mentality and preconceptions about this therapy, then anyone can feel the huge benefits,” he said.
