BRAVE Dave Murphy has spent the past 30 days quite literally on the p*** - consuming nothing but his own urine.

The 49-year-old has even been washing in wee and watering his plants with the stuff.

And he says the bizarre "therapy" has worked wonders for his waistline, made his skin softer, cured aches and pains, healed cuts and even improved his bald patch.

The former computer programmer said: “I was sceptical at first, but I thought I’d give it a try, and I was shocked by the results.

“Most people think your wee is a waste product - it’s not. It’s part of your regulatory system, your kidneys regulate the amount of hormones, enzymes, vitamins and minerals in your blood.

“Wee is a snapshot of exactly what your body needs but happens to have too much of at that moment.

“I’ve been on urine therapy for the last 15 months and I’ve just finished a 30 day urine fast, which means I’ve had nothing to eat for 30 days.

“I wanted to prove that you could live just off urine.

“When I started urine therapy the very first day I had it I suddenly got a feeling of wellbeing, this great feeling of energy.

“I had nerve damage in my foot after an achilles tendon operation three years ago. Three days into the urine fast, it had disappeared.

“After 30 years of asthma and spraying those steroids down my throat, I was told during a medical that I had the lungs of a 70 year old and now my lungs have regenerated.

“My limb flexibilty has returned, I can get into the full lotus position for the first time since I was sixteen.”

The changes in him have been so profound that his sister and several of his friends have started following the therapy too.

Dave, from Basildon, Essex, added: “It will heal you, whatever is wrong with you, it will heal.

“One of the things I do every day is wash my body with it. I’m absolutely convinced by it. My skin is soft and more elastic and my wrinkles have started to fade.

“Ever since I started rubbing it in, my hair started to grow back.

“It’s been 30 days without food and I’m as fit as a fiddle, with plenty of energy and in the best shape of my life.

“I won’t stop now.”
