Cow Urine Medicines Touted As a Cure All

From constipation to cancer, diarrhea to diabetes, they offer to cure
nearly everything with medicines made from cow urine. India's Hindu
nationalists, who were ousted from power last May, have a new job:
promoting cow products that many Indians believe have great therapeutic
value.
A stall at the headquarters of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata
Party showcases more than two dozen tonics, potions, pills and a
line of cosmetics. The products are sold under the brand name
Goratna, or "jewels of the cow."
"It's very good, very effective. You must try some of these,"
said S.P. Sharma, a BJP official, as he offered to buy a pack
of face cream he said helped his daughter get rid of pimples.
"My daughter tried all kinds of things. Nothing worked," Sharma said.
"But this one is working wonders for her. Last week, I bought one
pack and today I am buying one more."
The Goratna offerings use five key cow products, butter, milk, curd,
urine and dung. Purushottam Toshniwal, the general secretary of
the cooperative that manufactures the cosmetics, said workers
there followed a "solid scientific process" based on India's ancient
herbal remedies, known as ayurveda.
Ayurveda has seen a big boom in India in recent years, with
everything from shampoos to spa treatments advertised as
ayurvedic. Indians "are realizing modern medicines are no good.
Moreover, they make a big hole in your pocket," Toshniwal said.
Although many Indian scientists and doctors believe in the efficacy
of some ayurvedic medicines, few agree there is proof that cow urine
enhances their impact.
Cows are sacred to India's more than 800 million Hindus, and
Hindu nationalist parties have often used cows as a symbol
to further their political goals.
The most expensive item on the stall is sanjivani ark, a transparent
urine-based potion sold as a cancer treatment. It costs $1.80 for a
month's dose, and comes packed in plastic bottles with no expiration date.
"There is no expiry date for ayurvedic medicines. Because there is
no chemical in it," said Manoj Kumar, who manages the stall.
Kumar said the response has been very good since the stall
opened last week. The best seller has been kamdhenu ghanvati,
a multipurpose pill that Kumar says cures liver diseases, diabetes,
hemorrhoids and asthma.

Oh, that's nothing. DoktorPee has been selling like groatcakes since
about 1979 or so. Cures and CAUSES all sorts of things. PhiloPee is the
most potent, pure OverMan stuff, cleans off corroded battery terminals,
puts the dowsers in your trousers, all kinds of neat things. StangPee is
blue; I dunno what its supposed to do and I am scared to find out, but
its really hard to get, so it must be hot stuff. Kids really go for
little bags of NuMoPee and trade them as gifts on St. Laurence Harvey
Day. Saddam sprayed NenPee on the Kurds; that's BAD pee.
You can have some HueyPee cheap, if you like. Its really fresh, too.
Open wide.

To cow pee, I say bullshit, sir!
And whilst the Hindoos may hold Old Bossy in high esteem,
I sincerely doubt that you could find a HazMat Company that
would handle your leavings in Level4 bio-gear and lead panties
at any price, although you might be able to bottle your pee and
sell it as Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Soda.

We call that Evian over here; I get a month's supply for $1.29 at the
quickie mart.
I'm sure most SubGenii are familiar with the joke by the famous comedian
what's-his-name, who talks about how when he was a kid we didn't have
bottled water. Water came from the tap. For free. Free water. All of a
sudden they were selling Evian water in bottles at trendy restaurants
and clubs. Water! The joke goes something like this:
Two Frenchmen are talking in a smoke filled café. One turns back to the
other and replies, "'How stupid do _I_ think The American's are...?'
... I could sell them WATER!"
Remember when radio was free...?

If they could put a box over your house, they'd sell you sunshine!
There are lots of tapes with Enron officials joking about gouging
electric power prices. Where's the outrage?
I don't understand why they aren't horse-whipping them through the streets!
I dunno.
Nobody got particularly pisses off at the S&L ripoff. Then the retirement ripoff.
It's not rape! Just gining them the slow fuck! If they want vaseline, they can pay for it!
People get the kind of government they deserve.
The hindoo cow urine party would be better than the republicans.
