I can't believe this is taking hold.
===========================

At a busy and expensive alternative health centre in Bangkok, one patient told of a remarkable cure. In January she had an operation for colon cancer - but refused the recommended chemotherapy.

Now she says she has eliminated her cancer through diet, prayer - and daily urine therapy.

"I started drinking my own urine after hearing from a monk that if you have any kind of disease, urine drinking will help," she said.

Her doctor, Dr Banchob, started recommending urine therapy a few months ago, instructing patients to collect their own urine in the morning and drink it untreated, starting with small amounts and progressing to a glassful a day.

He now says he has seen some remarkable cures - from cancer to back pain.
