Urine Therapy

OK, so this is pretty gross for most people. I found myself at the party earlier today chatting to a woman from the American continent (not the US or Canada), I won't elborate anymore for fear of this getting back or recognized. This woman is a pyschologist. This woman drinks piss.

So I've never met this woman before and within minutes she's telling me of the merits of drinking your own piss. She swears by it and, pointing to her two young boys running around near my daughter, says that they both drank hers until they were old enough to, well, er, I guess whizz in their own mouths. No, it's not quite like that. They collect a few drops whilst relieving themselves and then drop it in the mouth.

I actually felt that I was dreaming. I couldn't believe that she was telling me this. Is this the action of a normal, sane mother? I've heard of this before but thought it was the preserve of Indian politicians, super models and people into taboo sexual practices like Shirley Manson of pop group Garbage. Some research on the internet has thrown up the following:

It's a strange world.
