Is pee the fountain of youth?

A 34-year-old vegan in England swears the byproduct of “relieving” himself relieves more than just his bladder.

Harry Matadeen has claimed he drinks his own urine daily, saying that the stomach-churning practice has “cured” him of his depression and made him look 10 years younger.

Matadeen said he used to suffer from depression and severe social anxiety, which he claimed was cured almost immediately after beginning urine therapy during the summer of 2016 in an “open-minded” and “desperate” attempt “to heal.”

“It was beyond my wildest imaginations how powerful it was when I drank it,” he told Jam Press.

“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,” he said. “I thought, ‘Wow, I can make it for free and always keep myself in this happy state.’ ”

Matadeen reportedly guzzles 200 milliliters (about 6.7 fluid ounces) of his own liquid waste every day. His daily drink often consists of month-old urine topped off with a splash of fresh pee.

Matadeen swears that drinking 200 milliliters of his own urine curbed his depression and social anxiety.

The holistic health nut swears pee is “super clean” and has even self-published several books on urine therapy, including “Aged Urine- Discovery of the Century” and “Aged Urine: Re-Discovery of the Century.” 

“Fresh urine is never as bad as you imagine – it is neutral-smelling and not a bad taste unless you are really toxic,” Matadeen insisted. “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!
