Drinking two glasses of my own aged urine every day has ‘cured my depression’
FROM Vogue Williams to Neil Morrissey – droves of celebs have been unwillingly forced to drink their own urine on Bear Grylls’ survival shows.
But there’s now a bloke out there who has started drinking two glasses of his own pee every single day voluntarily – yep, voluntarily.
Harry Matadeen, 32, from Farnborough, Hampshire, drinks 200ml of his aged urine – which can be a few weeks to a month old – topped up his fresh pee on a daily basis.
He also massages his own aged urine into his skin in morning and maintains that it is ultimate anti-ageing product.
As a result, Harry claims he feels healthier, happier and smarter than ever before.
It comes despite the fact top experts have said there is absolutely “no therapeutic value” to drinking your own urine.
Professor Henry Woo, a urological surgeon at the University of Sydney, said: “There is absolutely no scientific evidence to suggest that urine therapy has any therapeutic value.
“Those who drink their own urine do nothing more than make a mockery of themselves.”
Harry first began drinking his own urine four years ago after feeling depressed and not feeling physically healthy.
I felt an instant uplift in energy

He said: “I had found out about urine therapy when I read A book called Your Own Perfect Medicine by Martha Christy.
“I had always been open minded and obsessed with self help and getting healthier, so my interest in book reading led me to that particular book title.
“After reading it, I was so excited to try urine therapy.
“I was convinced it was worth an experiment. I drank my fresh morning urine and when I did dark clouds of depression were lifted from me, like a veil lifting and a parting of the red seas.”
Harry then joined various urine therapy groups on Facebook to learn more about the even greater healing powers of drinking his aged urine – rather than the fresh stuff.
Although he first struggled with the taste of his aged urine, Harry says he now loves the flavour.
He said: “I soon learned from Facebook urine groups that there was something even more powerful than fresh urine. They called it ‘aged urine’.
“Urine is considered aged at only four days old and each day after you let it sit and ferment naturally its power to heal you grows and grows.
“After trying my aged urine, I felt an instant uplift in energy.
“I became obsessed with it and that’s an understatement. I never minded the taste of my own fresh urine.
“Aged urine admittedly wasn’t the most pleasant taste at first but I didn’t really care and grew to love it.”
Now, Harry drinks around 100-200ml of his aged urine – which can be anything from a few weeks to a month old – and he also moisturises with it.
“The urine I drink is usually a few weeks to a month old, and I top it up daily with some fresh urine,” he said.
It’s a top end moisturiser

“On a daily basis I try and drink small sips, usually around 50 to 100ml and I also massage my own aged urine on my face a little every morning as it’s a top end moisturiser.
“I try my best to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle and aged urine is the ultimate supplement drink.”
Since discovering the power of aged urine therapy, Harry says his depression has been cured and people often think he’s a lot younger than he actually is.
He added: “To me its been nothing but very powerful!
Is there any nutritional value in wee?
THE Sun’s nutritionist Amanda Ursell said there is no nutritional value in drinking your own wee.
“You are weeing out the excess stuff that your body doesn’t need, after all the goodness has been absorbed,” she said.
“And your kidneys have very carefully filtered it out, so why would you then go and drink it?”
Amanda said that surviving on little else other than urine would put people at risk of serious nutrient deficiencies.
She added: “Every nutrient, vitamin and mineral has a corresponding deficiency disease if you don’t get enough of it.”
So if you are using urine to replace foods, you’re likely to suffer a whole range of health problems rather than curing any ailments.
“I started fresh urine therapy owing to not feeling physically healthy and depressed, it worked wonders in removing my depression just the fresh urine but the aged urine was next level and the boost in energy was incredible!
“It’s made my brain feels sharper and my previous depression just went away.
“People are frequently surprised when they find out I am 32 years old, and most think I look in my twenties!”
Harry is now hoping to educate more people about urine therapy and has penned two books on the subject.
He said: “I envision in the near future that every household across the world will have aged urine bottles, for daily disease prevention or an energy boost or for healing wounds and bruises. Yep it does this too!
“To that end I shall continue to promote aged urine therapy, and I’m more than happy to be known as that guy drinking pee!
He added: “My message to others is that we shouldn’t rely on getting to the stage of sickness to look after our health later.
“We shouldn’t rely on doctors and drugs, but we should start taking care of our health today and everyday for the rest of our lives, and in that way we can prevent worries like cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, heart disease and strokes.

“We can reduce our risk of getting these all significantly with one therapy, called aged urine therapy. We have all that we need inside of us.
“It is our own perfect medicine you know. Be open minded and try it yourself. Never knock something without trying it.”
