A man who drinks his own urine has revealed his latest health fad – and it’s not for the weak-stomached.
Harry Matadeen, 36, from Hampshire, previously made headlines claiming drinking aged urine has “cured” his depression and worked as an anti-aging product on his skin.
Now, the holistic ‘healer’ has experimented further with his own pee – creating ‘urine enemas’ which he inserts into the rectum for a “deep cleanse”.
Vegan Harry insists the results are “powerful”, with the high alkaline levels of the aged urine “flushing the colon of impurities” and claiming it gives him renewed energy.
“Every time I do it, it majorly heals the gut,” he told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“The aged urine is extremely alkaline and this alkalinity flushes the colon of impurities, and decades-old faeces that gets stuck.”
Harry uses a 30-50ml syringe purchased from Amazon and fills it with his own urine – which he first ‘ages’ for a month.
He said: “I do it in the toilet and go upside a bit, and stick either the enema plug up the bum or the syringe.
“The benefits are [it] alkalises your gut, clears out deep-seated stuck faeces lining the colon walls, and also kills a load of parasites that like to hide there and feed off our energy, draining us.”
Despite Harry’s claims, GP Dr Ross Perry, Medical Director of Cosmedics skin clinics, disputed the alleged benefits.
Dr Perry told NeedToKnow.co.uk.: “Any benefits are most likely placebo or psychological as aged urine has no basis for any nutrient benefits as it is a waste product.
“As for enemas, these have been a well-known practice for a long time and, again, have no proven medical benefit other than a placebo effect – and when done properly don’t cause any harm.
“The fact it’s done with his urine makes no difference as it’s the water that’s doing the flushing and that part of the gut does not absorb nutrients so it’s pointless from that aspect.
“The urine might irritate the bowel given the toxins which supposedly occurs when on using other enema solutions such as those with coffee to help aid the flushing process.
“My advice is it’s best to avoid.”
Harry also drinks his aged urine, guzzling 200ml of it every day – something he has been doing since 2016.
He previously told NeedToKnow.co.uk: “It was beyond my wildest imaginations how powerful it was when I drank it.
“From the moment I drank the urine, it woke up my brain and removed my depression.
“I felt a new sense of peace, calm, and determination.
“I thought ‘Wow I can make it for free and always keep myself in this happy state’.”
Harry says his urine is “super clean” and ages it for up to a month before drinking it – as well as topping it up with some fresh wee.
He said: “Fresh urine is never as bad as you imagine – it is neutral smelling and not a bad taste unless you are really toxic.
“But the aged urine is always smelly and the taste is a refined and acquired one.
“I’ll just say it takes some getting used to!
“I actually like the smell and taste of my aged urine now, due to neuro-association of what benefits and joy it gives me after I take it into my system.”
