The Head of a Chinese Herbal Medicine Firm Analyzes Urine


I would now like to introduce one more book on urine written by Yasuo Fujii, the president of Ryukakusan, a Japanese pharmaceutical firm. The book, entitled Oshikko Kenko Shindanho(Health Diagnosis Using Urine), was published in 1980 by Daiwa Shobo. It was the first book on urine therapy published in Japan. I recommend it highly, as it is very easy for laymen to understand about urine.

The breakdown of urine provided in Armstrong's book will be described later, but as Fujii's analysis is even more detailed, I will include it here in its entirety.

"The most effective means of detecting the warning signals our bodies send out is my monitoring the changes in our urine. But most people miss the opportunity to check the auto-regulatory mechanism that governs their health, as they pay little attention to urine, which they consider it dirty and filthy.

At hospitals, the volume, color, smell, and various other factors of urine are measured by different types of advanced equipment and reagents and expressed in extremely detailed numerical values. The constituent elements of urine that can be easily checked via current medical technology easily surpasses 200 items. It includes calcium, sodium, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, lead, magnesium, sulfuric acid, phosphate, zinc, nitrogenous compounds. Elements in urine that are closely linked to proteins include albumin, gamma globulins, amino levulinic acid, 21 types of alpha amino acids, urea, xantheine. The carbon and hydrogen-related elements contained in urine include alpha ketones, citric acid, hippuric acid, lactic acid, and pyruvic acid. Vitamins include the ascorbic acid, choline, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and amine found in Vitamin C, and Vitamin A, among others. The list goes on and on, so I will stop here."
