Man drinks his own urine every day – and it’s led to furious bust-up with housemate

A bloke who loves drinking his own urine is keen to help others reap the benefits of what he believes is a natural cure – but not everyone is so convinced by the practice

Drinking urine has been touted as a natural cure-all by one devoted drinker – despite having a bust-up with a housemate over the “smelly” habit. Brother Sage, 68, drinks his own own urine every morning, after first taking up the practice nearly 20 years ago.

As well as using urine passed during the night for a morning beverage, he has been known to age it for up to three years, before using it as a foot soak or and eye bath. And he offers a course for up to £280, for anyone wishing to unlock the secrets of their wee.

But not everyone is so keen on the habit , including his housemate who was left disgusted, when the smell wafted into their shared kitchen.

Brother Sage still stands by the practice though – as he claims his followers have given their kids wee to drink and “watched their health be returned”.

While no concrete scientific evidence confirms drinking urine offers any health benefits, the practitioner believes it can heal cancer, viruses, and sunburn.

Brother Sage, from Colorado, US, said: “I do get the naysayers or the ones who are doubters but I’ve learned to be compassionate with people because they don’t know what this is yet. They’re going based on theory and information from doctors, television and school.”

Explaining his practice, he added: “I wake up in the morning and I’ll drink what I saved in the night.

“Most people will drink it first thing in the morning and people who are fasting or on detox will do ‘looping’ which means everything they collect will be drank throughout the day.

“The cleaner you can get your diet, the better it’ll look, taste and smell.”

But he warns you should be mindful of your environment, after he locked horns with a housemate – meaning he now needs to find another location to practice his “urotherapy”.

He revealed: “It’s a good idea if this is your lifestyle to check in with potential housemates so they know you do this in your room, bathroom or in the house, so there won’t be that moment of ‘surprise, I do urine therapy’.

“That created a hiccup in the house I’m in and I’m just readjusting where I do my practice now and starting to look for a new location. The bedroom and my bathroom are too close to the kitchen so smells go down the hallway.

“I’m [now] either practicing out in the yard, go to a nearby location or hot springs and spend three days just having a good time with it, then it’s out of my system. When there’s something so near and dear to you, it feels like a compromise not being able to do the practice.

“We had a lovely talk – a heart to heart – and there’s no hard feeling. We just need to make some adjustments.”

Brother Sage has published his teaching in five books, and he claims he is is helping to build an international community of practitioners.

He says “urotherapy” has even “healed” MS, cancer and Alzheimer’s in others – though there is little scientific evidence to back up his suggestions.

“I started urine therapy in 1994. It was [initially] a total spiritual connection for me and nothing to do with health. As the years progressed, I realised there were some things I wanted to improve with my health. I increased the use, dosages. There are over 24 topical uses on the skin, eyes and ears,” Brother Sage said.

He also claimed: “People are healing everything because there are no such things as incurable disease when you understand how the body operates.

“They’re healing everything from mosquito bites, sunburns, wasp stings, to gum conditions, viruses, diabetes, MS, cancer and Alzheimer’s. We’ve got a woman working with a 21-year-old man with autism who is seeing results.

“The most unusual thing is people are feeding it to their pets and their kids and watching their health be returned.

“We realised that [urine] is a universal panacea remedy. You can use a man’s, a woman’s and cross it over. A dog’s, a child’s, a human, non-human – it works regardless.

“Some people have constipation and challenges in their intestines. What they’re doing is an entire GI flush.

“Some are doing aged urine enemas but if you want to clean the entire GI tract, drink an entire litre of urine and within 20 or 30 minutes you’d better be near a toilet because waves of bowel movements will start happening.

“It sure saves people from the embarrassment of going to a professional colonic lady.”

Brother Sage is currently preparing to deliver his 12th course on urotherapy – to help teach people the basics of the practice.

“I have students in the UK. There are people out there building a community,” he said. “I’ve noticed this community has created best friends for life and opened up relationship that people never would have had.”
