RE: EGGS COOKED IN BOYS' URINE Actually, there IS something to this, as known in Ayurvedic and Tibetan traditional medicine. Kids' urine (boys' or girls') is actually very rich in excreted HGH, or "human growth hormone" -- which is a naturally-produced chemical endocrine, plentiful in youthful bodies. HGH is marketed (in its synthetic, non-urinary form) as "rejuvenating supplement" in health food stores: [Commercial link removed by weblog owner.] In fact, it's been reported that the ancient Chinese emperors, whose physicians were intuitively "wise" to the healthful benefits of HGH in kids' urine, kept a retinue of highly-privileged boys "on tap", whose "work" was to produce this precious nectar for the emperor to drink. (Most folks don't realize that normal human urine is a STERILE, isotonic liquid, which can be drunk safely, and also used to clease wounds in an emergency. It is not inherently a "dirty" or "risky" substance, unless a urinary tract infection is present.) The "boys' urine preference", then as now -- and as expressed in the "eggs" item -- is really just culturally endemic to the "favoring of boy children" throughout Asia. Girls also produce HGH, but lack the neat, clean and well-defined "delivery spigot" which makes collection so easy and effortless, if boys are set to the "production" task! That's apparently why these folks are showing up outside the schools with "washbasins" in hand. Not to mention the fact that boys everywhere in the world are quite delighted to "pee outdoors", at the drop of a dare, without much coaxing or persuasion. Give boys an official adult "permission to pee outdoors", and offer them a few coins for their "assistance", and you've got 'em lined up around the block! Girls, of course, are naturally much more shy and reticent about "going pee-pee outdoors". Aren't other cultures absolutely fascinating, in how differently (and non-prudishly) they view natural human phenomena such as peeing, compared to the uptight attitudes which vex us in the English-speaking world?

HGH is dismembered by the digestive processes. To take it you need to inject it. Except in narrow circustances it isn't helpful or wise to take it. Excessive human growth hormone will leave you look like an old movie star who was only hired for his ugliness: Rondo Hatton.

Well, to be perfectly fair, this "injection" versus "capsulization" debate is a disputed matter. The subject was, indeed, discussed at the provided informational link, which was deleted by the site owner. Believe me, I have no commercial interest in this product. I'm simply reporting what I know from a general background in wholistic health matters. There is also the issue of the body's homeopathic response to small doses of a natural substance, such as might be contained in the aforementioned boys' urine. According to homeopathic practice, such "priming" of the body's own systems (including the endocrine system) can stimulate a beneficial autologous response. Not taking sides -- just pointing out that the question of "health benefit", even from small (i.e., homeopathic) doses of HGH, is far from clear-cut. Actually, I'm amazed (and pleased) to get any response to this posting at all! Thanks for the feedback.

No "HGH" is being sold in health food stores! Get your fact right. How dumb!

If folks really took the time to understand what is in some of the packages and bottles in health food stores (or Wal-Mart or Eckerds) they'd buy a great deal less of it. The HGH 'precursor' racket has been thriving steadily for a good many years now.

Why just boy's urine? I've learned that all urine (especially the first midstream of the day) contain much HGH as well as lots of vitamins, minerals and other hormones - all healing to the body. Does the urine of children contain significantly more? And why cook eggs in it?

"The HGH ‘precursor’ racket ..." HGH precursors do exist, the only "racket" is selling them in pill form, since it requires large quanties (as in a couple tablespoons on an empty stomach at bedtime) for them to work. Having said that, too bad it's asian boys, I'd love an excuse to get one of my asian women classmates to pee for me :-)
