Great Post Dr L. I agree melatonin is likely to be the principle compound responsible for anti aging properties
I once had a book (sorry, all I remember is the name Amaroli) which detailed how urine analyzed from a high degree yogi actually contained never before seen hormones and proteins. It was claimed that many have cured the un-curable and restored their body to health with the practice. It was also claimed, that to be offered the urine from a high yogic priest is to be given a health restoring elixir.
Since reading that, I’ve met many people who practice this art, but for obvious reasons don’t advertise it. One guy attributes his getting over testicular cancer to amaroli. Countless others profess to its benefits, but a common element with all these people seems to be that while practicing they live fairly healthy lives, and usually don’t take drugs.
I have known extreme methods of elimination and cleansing, after doing the ‘Chinese Water Torture’ for 3 years. It involved quickly drinking 2 litres of water upon waking at sunrise followed by an hour of uninterrupted (no wee) Chi Kung. You weren’t allowed iced drinks at any time, and you couldn’t bath in hot water (fun in winter holidaying in NZ). Although I knew about amaroli while doing this training, I stuck with the water.
At the time I was studying Tai Chi from a guy who had the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. People always remarked on how crystal clear and bright they were. He claimed amaroli had changed the rosary of his eyes from dull to bright within a month.
On the subject of healing, you can’t beat urine instantly applied to a burn. It sterilizes the wound and accelerates healing. Undoubtedly the same principles responsible for blister healing.
There are several traditional practices where urine is recycled to prolong the experience. Active metabolites are often eliminated in the urine, and some as mentioned are not active unless they are re-administered.
It is interesting to note that such an aversion to urine is shown only by (domesticated) humans. While many would claim this is the result of intelligence and education, others would argue we are simply out of touch with intuition. We are raised from an early age to avoid contact with urine, so it is little wonder we feel revulsion towards it.
In an odd way, replenishment from mineral losses in urine could be beneficial while on MDMA. For the highly curious, the daring and those into WS, but I don’t think for most BL’s.

The ancient Indian scripture called Thirumandiram has this to say about urine therapy:
The urinary liquid within the body
Is unto a picot of small well;
Dipped into sea vast
If that is fed once a day
In way appropriate,
Life will know distress none;
Well may you seek it!
If this divine water clear is taken inside
The body glows in a year;
No harm befalls it;
Prana control will realized be;
The mind will centre in Letter "A" (Pravana)
And will uplifted be
And the body into gold will be turned.
Drink of this divine water
A hundred pepper measure (drops)
No medicine beyond this, know men;
But rub it clear on crest of head
Your greying vanishes away
And fresh black hair shoots forth.
The water on the banks of body
Is unto a mirage on the sea
Away, Away, from it - thus they say
The men who know not truth;
They who can drink the midstream
Rid of foam and wave
That arises first and last,
Will immortal be;
And all greying and wrinkling disappears.
Oh! Damsel of flowing tresses and slender forehead!
Hear you a miracle this!
In this water hidden in the body
Mix pepper amla, turmeric, and neem
Soft will your body be;
And dark thine hair on head.
