MEDICINE WARS: THE IMPACT OF URINE THERAPY IN VIET NAM, PART I

PART I: THE OPPOSITION
"THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS"

This is about an American book about Urine Therapy, which was
translated into Vietnamese, and then published in Viet Nam,
sponsored by the Vietnamese Red Cross, and made part of a TV program
about being your own doctor - a fundamental survivalist prerogative.
I was told that the book was banned, because it was "too popular".
God bless the honorable and courageous Vietnamese people.

Excerpts from newspapers and magazines: KHOA HOC PHO THONH (General
Science), SAIGON GIAI-PHONG (Saigon City Liberated), TUOI TRE
(Youth), kept by and in District 5 Red Cross, Ho-Chi-Minh City. In
most cases, the name and date of the paper are not quoted precisely
(are abridged). Only the most meaningful lines are chosen and
translated..

1. AUTHORITATIVE VOICES OF STRANGERS

A. Alarm Cries

"It is important to pay attention to the real fever caused in the
population by Urine Therapy (UT), which is spreading widely in many
cities and provinces, especially in the Mekong Delta. Unless it is
held back, in due time there would be a regrettable disaster." - Kim-
Son, Truong-Vuong Hospital.

"Urine Therapy is an anti-scientific book. Please everybody not
believe in those anti-scientific things, contained in this widely
propagated book." - Dr. Nu Hieu, Army Clinic 108

"It is regrettable that a book, which had not been subjected to
scientific test, even in the country (USA) where it came into
existence, has been propagated so extensively. ..from 3,000 copies to
70,000. Some people estimate that the actual number might be double
that!" - Quoc-Te reports

"We found out the original text in English. This book is among those
written by lay people, not graduated from any academic school of
medicine. The book sells well indeed beating all records of re-
impression within a brief lapse of time." - Prof. Ngo-Van-Quy

B. Concert of Angry Branches and Services

Opthalmology: "...In brief, if a person suffering from eyesore,
gets healed by urine, it means that the disease will disappear by
itself, without needing any medical care." - Dr. Nguyen-Cuong- Nam,
Bien-Dien-Phu Clinic.

C. Condemnation by Health Authorities

"This book on Urine Therapy was published by District 5 Red Cross,
re-impressed by the Municipal Editor up to 10,00 copies and soon
afterwards to 40,000. Within some months, the book was diffused in
every southwestern province, and far to the center and north of our
country (Viet Nam). Many provincial editors are now preparing its re-
impression. In that perspective, the effects on the public health
will be incalculable. " - Ho-Chi-Minh City Health Service, in its
meeting on March 23rd, 1989. Reported by Kim-Son. Published in Tuoi-
Tre Chu-Nhat, March 26, 1989.

"A document causing seriously harmful effects." - Estimation by the
Techno-Scientific Board of the Municipal Health Service.

In the afternoon of March 23rd, 1989, the Techno-Scientific Board of
the Health Service held a meeting to give an estimation of Urine
Therapy. Dr. Duong-Quang- Trung, Director of the service, presided,
gathering over 20 professors, doctors, and pharmacists in service in
municipal hospitals. Hereafter are summarized the main opinions,
advanced in this meeting:

"We have received the original text in English, from which is some
detailed information about its author, which was...omitted from the
Vietnamese translation. " - Dr. Do-Hong-Ngoc, Director of Health
Education Propagating Center.

"By all means, there must be a stop to the harm, due to applying
this Urine Therapy. We propose to the Municipal Culture Information
Service to cease subsequent reprinting of that book, and, if
possible, to withdraw all copies of it from sale." - Dr. Duong-Quang-
Trung.

D. Condemnation by the People's Committee of Ho-Chi-Minh City

"The Municipal Administrative authorities decide to forbid
publication and withdraw from the market, six vicious books on
sale. On May 20, 1989, the People's Committee of Ho-Chi-Minh City
issued decisions forbidding the diffusion and withdrawing from sale
six books, the contents of which are not sound...(5 titles on sex,
and) Urine Therapy. It is known that those six are among 20 books
the contents of which are considered as not sound, causing bad
effects to readers." - T.V.N. reports. Tuoi Tre, May 23rd, 1989.
------------ --

Here ends "Part I: The Opposition". With all due respect to these
officials, who rank so high in the scientific community, it is this
honest Swami's educated opinion, that Urine Therapy already has
plenty of clinical trials and case histories to warrant even more
scientific experimental research on this promising self-medication.
This information can be found in The Tantrayudha.

In Part II, we will hear from the courageous advocates of Urine
Therapy. As long as one adheres to Scientific Method and does not
suppress evidence, we will get the right answer. But alas, there
are, once again, those proverbial medical vested interests to
overturn any honest objectivity or rational enquiry.
Jai Om. - Sw. Tantrasangha

The following is from three documents, taken and translated from the
first four pages of the Vietnamese version of this American book on
Urine Therapy:

1. Editor's Words

"This book on Urine Therapy has been presented by District 5 Red
Cross to the Municipal Editor, in its good will of having it
published and propagated widely among the population. This is indeed
a simple way of curing diseases scientifically, with little expense,
and it is highly efficient and efficaceous, being applicable for a
host of illnesses.

"In our country, from most ancient times, there has been handed down
an ancestral method of treating diseases through urine. Still visible
today are mothers who, after delivery, every morning drink a bowl of
urine from a son of hers. Our combatants, formerly captured and
confined in jails, drand urine as a tonic and as remedy against
various diseases. Uncle Ho's (Ho Chi Minh's) sodiers, in their long
campaign and hard battles, used urine to appease thirst and strenthen
their legs.

(Other than this American book on Urine Therapy), "It seems that
there is not yet a similar book, dealing systematically in theory and
in practice, with this method of self-healing.

"Willing to expand our ancestors' knowledge in traditional medicine,
in our high esteem for ancient prescriptions still applicable today,
thus contributing our humble part to preventing and curing diseases
of the population, we decided to publish this translated book. We
hope it will give give readers a new and valuable document for study,
reference, and application, in order to heal themselves and many
others.

"We look forward to receiving readers' opinions." - Ho-Chi-Minh
Municipal Editor. (Not the original "Uncle Ho". Possibly referring to
Ho Chi Minh City. - editor.)

2. In Lieu of Preface

"It makes us glad and highly enthusiastic that many diseases, even
serious ones, can be cured if patients know how to apply Urine
Therapy as directed in this book. Its author uses analytical and
synthetical methods to present to us the nature of urine and the
proper method of using it to cure diseases.

"We met many patients who ascertained they had cured themselves
successfully by using their own urine.

"As a humanitarian institution, benefitting from the generous help
of the District 5 Print Firm, we reprint and offer to the public this
book on Urine Therapy. We aim to present a method of self-healing,
which is not expensive and is most efficient. We hope to contribute
to the realization or our guide-line, 'Doctor at Home - Medicine
Indoors', in the vast program of first aid to the population of
District 5 (Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon).

"We are confident that our readers will study carefully this book,
apply it to heal themselves, and make known their experience to
other people. If there are any diseases that our readers have
cured, and their way of treating it, please inform us of that by
writing to: Red Cross, 251 Tran-Phu (formerly Nguyen-Hoang) Street,
District 5.

"Their precious contribution will help us organize a symposium,
gathering facts, proof, and further developing this method of good
health." For District 5 Red Cross - Truong-Van-Hai, President.

3. Words of Gratitude

"I am 58 now. I fought in the resistance army, combatting the French
up and down the mountains and forests on Truong-Son Range. Only as a
prisoner I came to cities, to be subjected to tortures which caused
chronic diseases. Dysentery, most painful and long-lasting,
devastated my digestive system for almost 30 years. Also in recent
years, there was heart and artery problems, rather serious.

"A friend, who knew my pains, advised me to try Urine Therapy. At
first I was reluctant, as many others are. Why to use again such an
old remedy, while there is now modern medicine and many modern
remedies? Alas for me, continuous suffering in heart and digestion
tormented me for a long time. I had to carry lots of pills and
bottles, when going out. I dared not eat unusual food, keeping away
from eggs, shrimp, and crabs. I had to be careful not to make strong
movements.

"Receiving this book, yet in typed manuscript, I read it through,
and after some days' hesitation, I tried to put it into practice. At
once, I felt much relieved. After twenty days' treatment, I felt
completely recovered. My health improved in a spectacular way. I
continued to benefit from this remedy, 'given by the good Heaven'. I
also recommended it to sick friends, who successfully cured
themselves too.

"For such a long time, I had taken so many drugs, spending a lot of
money. I had to appeal to both Oriental and Occidental medicines,
even to some traditional recipes, without any success.I know there
are many countrymen, friends, and soldier comrades, who participated
in the resistance war and suffered from chronic, indomitable
diseases, having to live in bad conditions, having no money to buy
the rare remedies at high prices.

"I found that urine is a universally efficient remedy, given free,
applicable to all people - in cities as well as in the countryside;
to the rich and to the poor; intellectuals and simple people; old
and young - to cure themselves from their own illnesses. It is also
useful to healthy people: It protects and improves one's health. An
overdose of urine does not cause any harm. The important factor in
treating chronic diseases, is the necessity of self-control in one's
way of living: There must be simplicity in eating and drinking.
Especially recommended is the practice of self-massage over the
entire body with urine. Generally speaking, one should correctly
apply every instruction in the book. Some people, who got rid of
heart and artery problems by the practice of Urine Therapy,
said that it is nearly an angelic panacea.

"On the basis of my success and in the cases of many friends of
mine, who recovered from most serious diseases, I wish that this
book on Urine Therapy be propagated very widely, in order to relieve
sick people of their misfortune. My sincere gratitude, January 1989 -
LE-BA, District 5 Red Cross."

PART III: THE HONORABLE CHUONG THI, PLEADING FOR URINE THERAPY
"FROM OUT OF HIS BELLY WILL POUR RIVERS OF LIVING WATER." - OUR
BELOVED LORD JESUS CHRIST

This is about an American book about Urine Therapy, which was
translated into Vietnamese, and then published in Viet Nam,
sponsored by the Vietnamese Red Cross, and made part of a TV program
about being your own doctor - a fundamental survivalist prerogative.
I was told that the book was banned, because it was "too popular".
God bless the honorable and courageous Vietnamese people.

Ho Chi Minh City, 1989. The President of the Municipal People's
Committee.

Dear Sir,

As a member of the Oriental Medicine Association (certificate of
membership 1970), I have sought the honor to submit to you this
request for re-considering the Urine Therapy case and re-
establishing this world-wide method of self-healing ourselves from
diseases.

In May 1989, your predecessors in Session III forbade the book on
Urine Therapy, on the basis of opinions given by doctors of the
Municipal Health Service. There were three main charges: Absurdity
of treatment without diagnosis; the author not being an academic
doctor of medicine; and the great harm caused to the common people.

1. The great harm?

One death case reported by Dr. Duong-Quang- Trung. Three other cases
of death reported by Dr. Le-Quang-Tan. All of the four victims had
been suffering from severe diseases before using Urine Therapy -
apparently advanced cases..

Anyway, the number of Urine Therapy victims was too small in
comparison with hundreds of patients who healed themselves by Urine
Therapy.. These people wrote down their happy experiences, and sent
this information to District 5 Red Cross, before the day the book
was forbidden.

In this state of things, there was no "great harm" at all. Please
let District 5 Red Cross publicize the result of its collection of
beneficiaries' testimony in favor of Urine Therapy.

2. The author of the book is not an academic doctor of medicine?

The existence of Urine Therapy the world over, is a fact. In many
countries, such as France, England, Germany and Russia, there have
been scientific books and reports on Urine Therapy. There are
several Urine Therapy Clinics in India.

From this world-wide documentation, the author made it his job to be
a synthesizer- reporter, just like a bee collecting the best of
flowers to make honey. He is quite trustworthy, because of the
brevity of his style and the good balance between the two parts of
his booklet: theory and practice.

Instead of condemning his work, you had better send researchers to
India, to benefit from other doctors' knowledge.

3. To treat disease without diagnosis is absurd?

Our national TV and radio are broadcasting a long program of general
medicine, "Doctor at Home - Medicine Indoors", helping adult people
to be their own doctor, pharmacist, and nurse, all at the same time.

In brief, the three charges against Urine Therapy are not sufficient
for condemning it.

CONCLUSION

As conclusion of the above considerations, you representatives,
elected by the people, have every reason for:

1. Revoking the decision of May 20th, 1989, issued by your
predecessors.

2. Favoring and urging the research, started by District 5 Red
Cross, gathering healed patients' experiences in favor of Urine
Therapy. Let the results be published, periodically.

3. Encouraging researchers to go abroad, especially to India, to
profit from the knowledge of other countries about Urine Therapy.

4.Promoting the program of "Doctor at Home - Medicine Indoors",
insisting on oriental and traditional medicine, thus fulfilling the
instructions of the World Health Organization of the United Nations,
in favor of local and traditional medicines, and on the use of
foodstuffs as remedies.

By revoking the condemnation of Urine Therapy and reinstating this
therapy, you will be able to say, as did former Indian Prime
Minister Morarji Desai:

"Personally, I know of many cases of serious diseases, cured
successfully with Urine Therapy. This is a very simple, inexpensive,
and quite harmless health method. It is indeed an inestimable gift
to a country as poor as India now."

Respectfully, CHUONG-THI

NOTE TO READERS

The above pleading letter, prepared in Aug. 1990, was in fact dated
July 24, 1991, and sent in its Vietnamese version. What to do next,
if the rulers in Ho Chi Minh City remain deaf to this supplication?
Please give your advice. Thanks. - Chuong-Thi
