A 34-year-old vegan in England swears by the by-product of his body for his eternal youth. Harry Matadeen has claimed that he drinks his own urine daily, saying that the stomach-churning practice has helped him beat depression and made him look 10 years younger.

Matadeen said he used to suffer from depression and severe social anxiety, which he claimed was cured almost immediately after beginning urine therapy during the summer of 2016 in an “open-minded” and “desperate” attempt “to heal”. “It was beyond my wildest imaginations... how powerful it was when I drank it,” he added.
