The taste of urine varies from day to day--sometimes it's salty, other times acidic, sometimes it smells like ammonia. But sometimes it has a very mild smooth taste. The changes in taste do not necessarily correspond to how much alcohol one has had or how tired one may be. It can be very salty even after eating properly, getting a good night's sleep and feeling fine on awakening, although the opposite is also true. I'm not sure what the most ideal taste is. I only know that the taste changes virtually everyday.
As for my condition as I said before, I was on the borderline of good health, so I really didn't notice any exceptional changes in my health. But I did have tar-like stools that appeared to be built-up residual from my intestines. As a result, I felt as though my abdomen had softened up a bit. And my liver, which was a constant source of concern for me after having swollen up from my continuous drinking, softened to a point where I no longer had to consider stop drinking or at least cut back for my liver's sake.
Moreover, my stiff shoulder and the swelling on my neck disappeared. I had not done any exercises per se, so my neck was still flabby, but the swelling vanished nevertheless. Later the pressure points on my neck throbbed in pain when I had moxibustion and acupuncture, but that, too, disappeared in about two months.
Miyamatsu urged me to continue despite the fact that other symptoms were sure to surface. So I persevered and monitored these changes in my condition as they appeared. I have not cut back on my smoking or drinking.
