manual wheatgrass juicerPrimitive Superstition or Miracle Cure? And Would You Do It?

Today I'm going to do something really outrageous and talk about a taboo subject, so if you're easily shocked then you'd better look away. . . Still with me? Good. You won't regret it.

You've probably read in the media from time to time about primitive tribes in remote parts of the world using their own urine for various purposes - sometimes even going to the extreme of drinking it.

If you've just shuddered at that then don't worry - nearly everyone in the West today would do the same. We've been conditioned to believe that the human body's waste material has to be removed from our presence and our thoughts as quickly and unobtrusively as possible. So much so that we scarcely think about it.

But more and more people are realising that there may actually be something to be said for using what is after all a perfectly natural product in order to take advantage of any benefits that it may hold for us. After all, human waste can be used as fertiliser in the same way as horse manure.

I'm going to take just one example - foot complaints. And corns, calluses and chilblains in particular. There are all kinds of so-called remedies available for them in the shops, including herbal and natural remedies. Just a little research brings up several, such as:

1. In the early stages of a corn, massage the area with a little lanolin to soften it prior to applying a pad

2. If two corns or calluses on adjoining toes are rubbing together to separate them with pieces of foam or lambs wool (not cotton wool as this tends to harden)

3. For temporary relief, soaking your feet in warm water containing Epsom salts

4. If you have a lot of callused tissue, soaking your feet in very diluted chamomile tea (this stains your feet but it does wash off easily), or alternatively in comfortably warm water for 5 minutes and then using a callus file or pumice stone to lightly abrade the affected areas and remove the top layers of skin, followed by applying some hand cream

5. Taking the pressure off a callus by putting cotton wool over the area and covering with felt padding, removing at night and when bathing to avoid excessive moisture and to let the skin breathe.

There are many more remedies if you look hard enough, but what I'm going to suggest to you is that if you are ever unfortunate enough to find yourself with corns, calluses or chilblains, simply immerse your feet in a bowl containing your own urine.

It sounds distasteful, as I said, and goes against most things we in the West have been brought up to believe. But almost certainly our remote ancestors used this cure (just as we know they cured animal skins and made them softer and longer lasting by soaking them in urine). And if it was good enough for them, I'd say it's good enough for us.

I know from first hand information that this cure works almost instantly for chilblains. It probably takes a little longer, with a few more soakings required, for corns and calluses. And I somehow wouldn't be surprised if it worked for several other ailments as well.
