Urine cannot cure sinusitis – Thailand’s Medical Services Department

[webfact]

 

The Thai Medical Services Department has asked the public not to share social media reports claiming that dripping urine into the nose every day can cure sinusitis, describing it as fake news.

 

Although there are numerous chemical substances in urine, such as sodium chloride, calcium and urea, the department said that there is no current or credible medical evidence to support a claim that it is efficacious in the treatment of sinusitis.

 

It also said that people who fall ill and need treatment should see a qualified medical doctor.

Members of the public can get medical information from the Medical Services Department by logging into the department’s website at www.dms.go.th or by calling 02-590-6000.

And people need to be reminded of this?

Taking the p!$$ ?

In other news, feces is not a cure for acne.

Should gargle with it,  as a breath freshener after eating

What, you never told a little lie to a naive young lady?

Not quite the same as peeing on your feet to treat tinea.

Maybe not in this case, but urotherapy is apparently a thing. Personally haven’t done it—it does sound gross—but know folks that have… dabbing pee and fixing a festering wound when nothing else worked, eg. Also wouldn’t take the words of some medical body as gospel, whose vested interest is to make money pushing pharmaceuticals. The body should know how to sort itself… proper fasting has some big benefits etc.

I am laughing so hard. 
 

Just have someone pee in your nose and it will be all better.

 

hahahaha…

I've heard some absolute rippers since relocating to Thailand 22 years ago but this one is a real pisser.

They haven't worked out, yet, how to collect commissions on urine.

Yes, in the land of fake everything - yes.

Great headline. Thank you, you saved me trying to pee up my own nose.

pi$$ing on foot fungus worked for me in getting rid of it

It's a good thing she wasn't told to drink it as she might not look so pretty.

Nothing surprises me in Thailand from eating ginger and smoking to preventing Covid 19, to the doctor who told Teenagers to skip 10,000 times a day, as it made them taller.

 

There are countless more I could quote that I have heard in Thailand. The best though was slapping the breast 100 times, to make them grow.

[Mark Nothing]

It sure can.  I snort daily and no longer have blocked sinuses.  It is such a pleasure to be self sufficient. It works first time, everytime.  Free.  No side affects. Lots of literature about it for those who desire an alternative.

[Artisi]

is that where the saying "taking the p1ss" comes from?

Proper long term fasting has many good points going for it, usually dismissed out of sheer ignorance by the medical profession.  How could not filling someone with a cocktail of drugs be beneficial?

Ephedrine was the best cure, then it was banned, so we switched to pseudo-ephedrine, this got banned in Thailand so the switch was made to phenylephrine, each switch was about a quarter as effective s its predecessor. Now the best one can do is temporary relief with oxymetazoline (iliadin),

There's nothing unnatural about drinking one's own feculence.

I get this prescribed in Europe and also got it on prescription from Chiang Mai Ram Hospital (recently last year or two?) - when was it banned? Do you mean it can't be bought without a prescription anymor?

 

But it is a GREAT de-congestant.

 

It was banned as an over the-the-counter medicine in Europe and the US because it is can be used as a pre-cursor to amphetamine.

 

But In several countries (e.g. Canada, Quatar and Singapore) it CAN be bought OTC.

I have been using urotherapy for years.  Drinking and topical application of urine.   It has far exceeded my wildest expectations. All of my ailments vanished.  Positive health flourished. 

 

What is gross is those masquerading as experts providing this type of self serving hogwash recommendation.
