Drinking camel's urine will make you healthy.

I can just see the advertisments now..

"Drink bob the camel's piss! 30% more salt and it won't stain your teeth! Remember.. Bob's piss, recomended by 4 out of 5 dentists!"

(followed by a smiling camel whizzing into a cup held by a smiling teen with good teeth.)

That is a funny one about drinking camel's urine. I have seen it a couple of times on F.R. It is true that in Mohammed's time the tribesmen followed their camels and drank their milk and urine, they were living that Beduin lifestyle.

In Australia, stockmen and explorers used to drink their horses' urine. Living in a desert country, and being out in places where there is no one to help you - you help yourself - they made the discovery that the urine of a healthy animal is sterile. If you don't believe it's possible, I'll take you on a trip to Willcannia, or some place like that, and leave you out in the sun for a while. See if you don't change your mind (grin!)

Old timers in the bush, if they didn't like the taste of some drink, would spit and say "tastes like horse piss." (It is true isn't it Byron. Come on mate - back me up!) Unbelievably, some of them were speaking from experience.
