NEW DELHI, Apr 29: There is no scientific evidence to prove that urine therapy can treat any disease, said health experts on Tuesday, after Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal vouched for its benefits for his knee injury.
In a recent media interview, the veteran actor claimed that he "sipped his urine like a beer first thing in the morning" to heal his injured knee.
"I did for 15 days and when the X-ray reports came in, the doctor was surprised," Mr Rawal said.
"As an oncologist, I must emphasise that while anecdotal experiences like Paresh Rawal's are fascinating, they should not be mistaken for medical advice. There is no scientific evidence supporting urine therapy as a treatment for any diseases whether musculoskeletal injuries or cancer," Dr. Abhishek Shankar, Assistant Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, Dr BR Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital at AIIMS, Delhi, told IANS.
