Thanks so much Wendy and Dr. Lisa.

We are really excited to have you. We met you about almost a year ago in Las Vegas. We were both at the Biohack Yourself premiere. It was just, you know, really great to finally sit down next to you, have you talk to us about the things that you're doing and we thought it would be great for you to come and talk to our audience about subjects like urine. Everybody that we hear talk about urine. It's really controversial, right? It's something that people are really like. It's either they think it's gross or they think it's like woo, woo. But it really is scientific. So can you just talk about it a little bit and let us know how it's utilized and how you do it?
Jonathan Otto (2:39)
Absolutely. Well, it's, it's very interesting that it is obviously disregarded as just a waste product. And whether that's by the medical community or just lay people, people generally have not associated urine with medicine. But that wasn't the case for forebears, people, societies, entire civilizations, not, not, not the odd one or two. But almost universally, whether it was Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Ayurvedic with Indian, these were, these were widespread practices, both topical and internal use. And then in modern medicine, it became a subject of much study from the 1700s, which would, wouldn't necessarily be considered modern medicine. 1800s. Now we're getting closer. Early 1900s, all through the medical textbooks, the Oxford Medical School, the British Medical journal, the science magazine, these sources all were quoting and referencing major studies that were happening in urine. Which makes sense. Then why Fast forward to today. The thing that people don't regard as the medicine yet so many medications are based upon it. Some examples of those would be murine for ear infections, which is a synthetic form of urine called carbamide mixed with hydrogen peroxide, which is also naturally from urine itself. And then you've got your kinase, which is the clot busting drug and used for cancer as well, as is urea, also from urine. Your kinase is the enzyme from urine. Urea is, is because urine is filtered blood. Urea is, is the aspect of urine that is highly absorbable. What that means is that you're able to moisturize skin and so hence why people are using it on their skin. And then you Fast forward to 2022. The Wake Forest University took an NIH grant, funded a urine derived stem cell study, which you wouldn't even associate stem cells with urine, but it makes a lot of sense considering that's where stem cells are coming from. Amniotic fluid, which is actually baby urine is, is the major source for stem cells which are getting injected directly into people's knees or through IV or localized to put new stem cells into the body. In this study from the Wake forest, they found 100 million stem cells in a 24 year, 24 hour urine sample. Originally it was only 140 stem cells, but when it was left to age for three weeks, it proliferated at a rate of 1 times 10 to the power of 8, which equated to a hundred million over the course of three weeks. So there are stem cells in urine, there are enzymes, there are hormones, there are natural, various antigens and peptides. All these are natural substances and versus synthetic. And they have tremendous medicinal benefit, as was cited in the clinical studies where it was being used for tuberculosis or malaria or used for the rabies. Actually rabies, that was a common usage, cancer. It shows up in a lot of clinical studies for cancer in the early 1930s, 40s, 50s, tremendous success with these compounds taken straight from urine and in other cases just the straight form of urine being used ingested or injected or used rectally. So anyway, then now just open another can of worms. But yes, that's urine therapy in a nutshell.
