In the spring of this year, I discovered the health benefits of drinking Green Clay with Jade Allegre. I knew about the clay for external use like most of us do, but I had no idea about taking it in any other way. Since then I have used it for many complaints with great results.

When in the summer I got a really bad flu with excruciating headaches, high temperature and back pains for the first 3 days as well as a complete loss of energy and loss of taste buds, I drank only green clay and water.  10 days later I was up and well again.

Then immediately after the flu, I got the shingles on my right wrist and again I drank the clay and painted the red and blotchy area of the shingles with it as often as necessary, as soon as the clay had dried. I didn’t suffer at all in any way apart from some itching of the wrist that the fresh clay always calmed instantly. The shingles lasted one month. I was thrilled to have managed without going to the chemist.

As I was resting a lot, I had time to read and got the little book of John W.Armstrong (born around 1880s’)  The water of life, A treatise on urine therapy. This gem of a book was first published in 1971.

Here is what the editors have to say about it: “In this revolutionary treatise, John W. Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural damage) can be cured by one simple means. The therapy is an entirely drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured by the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine.

It may seem strange to take back into the body something that is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable minerals salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the humane body.

The water of life includes intriguing case studies that show how urine therapy has been successfully used to treat cases of the common cold, rheumatism, arthritis, mucus colitis, obesity, prostate trouble, pyorrhoea and many other disorders and diseases.

As a young man during the First World War, John W. Armstrong was diagnosed as suffering from TB. Following two years of unsuccessful medical treatment, he started a course of urine therapy and was cured withing two months. As a result of this success, he was encouraged to set up his own practice and includes many of his patients’ remarkable case studies in this book.

Page 7, foreword from the author dated 1944:

“…..As the therapy to be outlined in the book is an entirely drugless system of healing and is a specific health and not for any given disease, diagnosis plays no practical part in the treatment. Thus, although the chapters are headed with the names of various disorders, it is merely for the sake of literally expedience and to show that they have proved amenable to the general treatment”

Here is a taste of his writing:

“Chapter V  Gangrene : case histories

Gangrene described in simple language as “death of a part” is regarded as hopeless of cure by the orthodox physician. “Gangrene has set in” is a phrase invariably accepted as the last stage which precedes the almost immediate decease of the victim. Where gangrene sets in after a finger, toe or limb has been amputated, it is often fatal, especially in the case of persons past middle age. All the same, I have proven that gangrene can be easily cured.

My first acquaintance with the ravages of gangrene was in 1891 when I was a schoolboy of ten. My closest schoolmate had complained of face ache for some days before being taken to a local dentist for the extraction of a tooth far back in the jaw. Unfortunately, some of the jaw came away with the molar, and gangrene set in. Drugs and ointments were applied to reduce (or perhaps better said suppress) the swelling, and the boy died ten days later.

It so happened that at the same time as my schoolmate was suffering, I also had a swollen cheek. By the remedy my mother applied (she was a farmer’s daughter, by the way) was a very different one from the “scientific” ones the doctors had applied to my young friend. True, my own swollen cheek was the result of having been stung by a lot of bees, owing to my having disturbed a colony of those interesting little creatures. All the same it was very painful, till my mother completely cured it by first bathing my face in urine and then binding it up with pieces of linen wrung out in the same healing fluid. My cheek was normal in a few hours.

This treatment was suggested to the parents of my schoolmate with the gangrenous jaw – but merely to be rejected with scorn and expressions of disgust. I have since come to know that urine compresses combined with urine-drinking and fasting could have saved my unfortunate friend.

About a year later a young man of our acquaintance died of either gangrene, medical treatment for the condition, or perhaps both. While he was ill, I used to go and read to him; and during one of my visits, the doctor called. He was a very loquacious practitioner, and after a few cheering stock phrases, added that whoever found a cure for this dreadful affliction would merit a crown of gold. Had he “read, marked, learned and inwardly digested” the old book I have already quoted, on the value of urine for “any green wound” he might have known that a cure had already been found years ago. As it was, I little thought then that it would be given to me to prove the truth of that sentence, and much less did the thought occur to me that it would not be a crown of gold I should receive, but metaphorically speaking, a crown of thorns! For although the story is not relevant to this book, I have had to suffer for my doctrines and their demonstration.

The first case of gangrene I ever treated was in 1920, the patient was a lady of fifty-three. She had been in the care of a well-known Bradford physician who was an authority on fasting and dietetics. Anaemia had developed, the lungs showed signs of grave disturbance, and there was a gangrenous condition in one foot, with a number of skin eruptions of varying dimensions on each leg. There was also a jaundiced condition which had turned her complexion to that of an Eurasian, and the white of her eyes yellow. Her abdomen was distended and hard, and her body had become thin and scraggy almost to emaciation.

Although the doctor was quite willing that my method should be tried for at least a month, I was loathed to advise upon the case, for I felt that no period of less than sixty or seventy days would restore the patient to health. However, to my surprise, some encouraging developments occurred fairly quickly and gave me the first opportunity of observing that gangrene is far from being that hopeless condition which the public end the doctors have been led to believe.

By dint of fasting the patient on her own urine and water, and rubbing urine into her body and applying urine compresses, at the end of ten days the kidneys and bowels were working “overtime”, and although the eruptions had increased, they were less irritable. The breathing became normal and easy, the patient slept better, and above all, the gangrenous foot began to show signs of healing.

By the eighteenth day of the fast the foot was quite normal; The urine had formed new skin, and there was no trace whatever of the livid abrasions. The foot had healed without even leaving a scar.

Yet need we be surprised, once we understand that urine is not dead matter, but so to say, flesh, blood and vital tissues in living solution?

As the result of this cure, I was invited to take on another case of gangrene. It was of a woman in the early forties. Her right leg was in such a state of putrefaction that her medical adviser had urged amputation of the limb.

The trouble had become nearly two years previously with a swelling at the ankle. This had been ascribed to her occupation which entailed much kneeling on a hard stone floor. She had submitted herself to many treatments, both orthodox and unorthodox, but her afflictions merely increased. She suffered from severe constipation, piles, eczema, anaemia, insomnia, tic nerveux, general depression, sore mouth and tongue, face ache, eruptions at each corner of the lips- and above all, more cavities had occurred in the gangrenous leg.  In spite of her tribulations, however, she was a woman of great spirit and I had no difficulty in persuading her to fast on all the urine she passed, and up to 6 and a half pint a day of cold water, which she always sipped.

During the first 5 days of the penance the eruptions began to disappear, and the skin in every part of her body began to look healthier in every respect. The face ache vanished by the second day, on the third night she slept soundly after weeks of insomnia, and by the end of the first week, the bowels and kidneys were working “overtime” and the piles were cured. In a fortnight there was no sign of the gangrene and new skin had grown in place of the cavities. The diseased leg, which previously had become twice the size of the other one, was now completely normal- not even a scar remaining anywhere to remind her of what she had suffered! I subsequently put my recovered patient on an exclusive diet of grapes, bananas and raw tomatoes for a week in small quantities, added fresh unpasteurised milk for the second week, and in the third week finally got her back on a normal diet.

According to my experience gangrene is often much quicker in response than many other major or “killing” diseases, a matter which may be seen from a few brief care-sheets which I now will add. I should mention that nearly all these cases were treated after the physicians had urged amputation.

Mrs. E. Gangrenous feet and toes following upon paralysis after vaccines had been administered. 48 days fast. Urine healed feet and toes in the first 20 days.

Mr. D. Diabetic gangrene of left forearm. Fasted 48 days for the diabetes. Arm completely normal after 18 days. No scar.

Mrs. J.W.B. (60 years old) gangrene of first and second joints of thumb, caused by hammer-blow in mason work. Treated for 18 weeks as an outpatient at Leeds G.I. Bone removed up to first joint. Discoloration spread towards wrist. Fasted according to my method, applied urine compresses to whole hand, wrist and arm. Cured in one week.

Miss C.A. (aged 10 in 1930) Anaemia, gangrene of both legs following suppressive treatment for psoriasis. Large areas of skinless and livid flesh in both calves. Fasted 18 days. Cure complete. No more anaemia, no more psoriasis, no scars from gangrenous legs. Grew 1 ½ inches during fast. Is now a member of the A.T.S. in H.M. forces. Height above the average.

Mrs. B. Gangrenous finger, also severe conjunctivitis following a year’s use of atropine. Fasted 12 days for gangrene, then a week later undertook a second fast for the conjunctivitis which cleared up the 23^rd day. Age 38 in 1927. Still looks much the same age.

Mr. J.I. (aged 54 at the time). Thumb cut by fish-bone. Doctor attended him the same day. Gangrene ensued. Surgeon’s decision to amputate rejected. Fasted 14 days. Body rubbed with urine, finger poulticed in very strong old urine. Improvement after three days of treatment. Cure complete after twelve days.

Mr. N. (age 55 at the time) Tubercular gangrene of both legs. Surgeons wanted to amputate the limbs. His wife refused. Condition of patient very emaciated. Great depression after much drugging. Fasted 42 days according to my method. Now walks as well as any man, and enjoys the exercise.

Mrs. L. (age 48 at the time) Gangrene of both legs and feet after spilling a large vessel of boiling fat over them. Treated with plasters for three weeks by the physicians. Result disastrous. Fasted 28 days, with the usual treatment I advocate. Marked improvement after 10 days. Return to normal health after a fortnight.

Many other cases could be cited. But as I do not wish to swell the bulk of this book with an unnecessary number of case-sheets when a few should be sufficient to convince any but the most prejudiced. I will forebear, I think I may say that what I have here put forward should explode the dogma that gangrene is incurable.

We will now provide evidence which should explode another medical dogma- namely the “incurability” of cancer.”

Then what follows are a stream of chapters like this one above, and relating to various diseases.

I am blow away by the reality of this therapy, the amazing scope for speedy recovery without surgery. I am also appalled by Big Pharma’s denial of this for over 100 years.

On page 9 of the Water of Life: “Disease….becomes a vested interest, and consciously or unconsciously, the doctors foster it as such. It is quite a common observation that doctors produce disease. Moreover, the whole system and philosophy of our dealings with disease is mistaken” DR. W. H. WHITE, M.R.C.S.,L.R.C.P.

Hippocrates, the great priest of medicine, advised the physicians to accept the help of the laity in the treatment of disease, but his advice has seldom been followed. Like the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of health has to be taken by storm. J. W. A”

As I was finishing the reading of John W. Armstrong’s book, I was eagerly looking for a French version but to no avail. I found a German book on the same subject translated into French, Spanish and Italian and it was another very good one, form Dr Christian Tal Schaller and Me Johanne Razanamahay, “ Testez l’urinotherapie” which means “Try urine therapy” AMAROLLI. 3^rd edition.

Here is what the editor says about it (this is my translation): “Urine is the most extraordinary medicine there is!

Known by traditional medicines for millennia, urine (called AMAROLI in India) has been the subject of hundreds of scientific publications which attest to its powerful therapeutic virtues in all diseases.

At a time when more and more people are becoming aware of the limits and dangers of chemistry, this astonishing natural medicine is being rediscovered throughout the world. Already more than five million Germans and two million Japanese use it, as well as a huge number of Indians.

 After the success of the book Amarolli (which was translated into several languages) the authors went to several world congresses which brought together doctors, researchers, cured patients and therapists from many countries who shared their enthusiasm for this “ inner ecology” which contributes to the birth of a conscious and healthy humanity.

 In each of us lies a wonderful inner doctor who can cure all ills! »

————————————————–

The idea of drinking my urine for my health fascinates me as much as it disgusts me. I will have to work to get rid of my repulsion, my preconceived ideas, my prejudices, my education, in order to make a medicine of it. Not easy I must say!

 But since I absolutely want to share about this, I’m going to drink my urine …..

Done! It was less difficult than I thought and I am clear that if I needed it, I feel more than willing to use it without hesitation.
