Urine therapy is satanic
Sometimes it is difficult to know who to support in a fight.


While many unorthodox healers have hailed the potency of urine therapy, one of their own, Dr. Ayodele Akindipe, has described it as most abhorable indulgence with very harmful effects. Akindipe’s consternation with the practice is worsened by the fact that many Nigerians have become addicted to drinking their urines, thanks to the curious gospel that has been spreading like a wide fire in recent years.

Akindipe, who is a natural healer, told Daily Sun that the level of urine consumption in the country is a manifestation of crass depravity, abject poverty and desperation. "I think it is getting to a level of addiction, just like alcohol consumption," he said, wondering why normal people should turn round to drink their own waste products of metabolism when lunatic persons and animals would not consume their own.

Noting that urine may soon become a costly commodity sold in supermarkets, he said that the consumption as a form of medication had become so rampant that "if adequate care is not taken, we will end up having mad people lining the streets to beg for people’s urine. That is if urine does not become a costly commodity in our super markets across the country."
Akindipe said he got to know of the level at which people consume urine in the course of his practice. During the past months, he said, he was shocked and dismayed to find out that urine therapy has become the vogue for patients who came to his office with the ailments like cancer, diabetics, hepatitis, measles, kidney and heart problems.

They will tell you they have been taking the urine, which I think is a mad-drug, for five, seven, nine, 10 years or more and yet they are never cured, and can never be cured with it. Only cow urine is known to be used in the cure of psyche problems. Even then, it is not drunk, it is merely rubbed on the body of the patient because, according to him, cow urine wards off evil spirits.
