The Golden Fountain: The Complete Guide to Urine Therapy

"The most complete book on Urine Therapy to be published" -from the Foreword by Swami Pragyamurti Saraswati Practiced for thousands of years in the East, urine therapy - the application of your body's urine as an agent for the promotion and management of good health - has gained popularity in the West as more people seek effective, affordable, and holistic alternatives to modern medicines. Dutch auto-urine expert Coen Van der Kroon first encountered urine therapy when he cut his foot at an ashram in the mountains of India. Conventional antiseptics and treatments did nothing for the injury, and the infection steadily worsened until he was advised to wrap his foot in a cloth soaked in his own urine. To his great relief, the treatment worked; the wound healed rapidly. This event served as an awakening for him, beginning his journey of learning and sharing the positive health benefits of urine therapy. Van der Kroon combines his years of research with a wealth of personal experience to document the history and implementation of urine therapy. He introduces and explains its fundamental principles, explores its history, lists many practical applications, and documents recent research and literature on the subject. Remarkably, the medicinal properties of urine have been shown to work as a natural remedy for a variety of bodily ills ranging from skin conditions to the common cold to cancer. Complete with an extensive bibliography and numerous illustrations, this user-friendly guide is a thorough primer for the curious, and an informative resource for those already versed in this practice and its benefits.
