Drink This Daily. Turn Gray Hair Black? Drink one cup of urine a day and it will turn gray hair black, eliminate sinus trouble, and even cure cancer, according to a Thai academic from the Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Development Department. AFP News Service reports that Ratree Cheepudomwit, who really believes this is something we should all do, conducted a scientific study of Buddhist monks living in Bangkok who engage in this rather unorthodox practice. Cheepudomwit told AFP that hundreds of urine drinkers have attested that consuming a daily cup worked wonders for their overall health and helped slow the aging process. (If this is the cure, turning gray isn't all that bad!) For the study, she interviewed 250 members of Santi Asoke, a strict indigenous Buddhist movement that is believed to have thousands of followers. Fully 204 of the respondents said they had learned from ancient Buddhist manuscripts that drinking one's urine improved health, reports AFP. "Of the respondents, 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them, including for example reduction of dandruff, gray hair, sinus problems, and cancer," she explained to AFP. Not surprisingly, drinking this elixir doesn't agree with everyone's system. About 10 percent of the urine drinkers suffered diarrhea afterwards. Still, Cheepudomwit insists the practice should not be viewed with disgust. "Other groups of people who drank urine were Buddhist monks who practiced in accordance to scriptures which are more than 2,500 years old," she said. Don't try this at home, kids.

Company Making Fake Urine for ResearchersBy DAVID TWIDDY LENEXA, Kan. (AP) - In Kevin Dyches' mind, the future is yellow. Dyna-Tek Industries, a company Kevin and his wife, Sandra, bought five years ago, has developed synthetic urine for the research industry. One of their first customers is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which made a big purchase this summer and has hinted it could be a major buyer long into the future. Other research institutions and laboratories are also looking into Dyna-Tek's product, called Surine. ``We have been very blessed with this,'' said Dyches, who handles finances and marketing for the three-person company discreetly tucked away in a suburban Kansas City office park. ``It was pretty discouraging until about a year ago.'' While the business plan might induce stifled giggles, synthetic urine is a serious matter in the laboratory industry. Researchers, drug-testing labs and other institutions buy thousands of gallons of the real stuff, mostly to calibrate the equipment used to test regular urine samples for drugs or other substances. Researchers periodically check the accuracy of their equipment by introducing samples that have been intentionally spiked with chemicals. But human urine has its limitations. It's unstable, decaying rapidly if not kept refrigerated and must be frozen when shipped. It can smell, it foams and donors must be screened carefully for drug use or disease. Also, different body chemistry guarantees that no two people's urine is exactly alike, an irritation for researchers who rely on consistency. In the end, a fully synthetic urine has remained a laudable goal in scientific circles. ``I think in the next few years, synthetic urine will replace human urine'' in laboratories, said Fred Klaus, purchasing manager for Redwood Toxicology, a Santa Rosa, Calif., drug testing company that tests about 30,000 urine samples a day and is thinking about testing Surine. ``If you end up with something like Surine that's very stable and easy to maintain, you're going to go to that because that's one of your savers.'' David Ashley, the CDC's emergency response and air toxicants branch chief, said his agency has a long history of handling human urine, but a new joint program with state health departments for monitoring harmful substances in the environment would require large amounts of urine quickly. ``We're faced with the very large challenge of producing material for all of those labs that will be consistent across the board,'' Ashley said, adding that his agency bought 33 liters of Surine. If the CDC's experience with Surine is favorable, he said, it could increase that amount to up to 400 liters.
