Woman Drinks Her Own Urine on TLC's Strange Addiction

Addicted to her own urine 

And you thought "Fear Factor" was bad?

A woman who appeared on TLC's "My Strange Addiction" is turning stomachs with her strange addiction - drinks her own urine in what she believes it is a fool way proof to cure her cancer.As she is a cancer survivor, she believes that has helped her keep her in remission. 

However , she hasn't been to a doctor in six years , from the first time she drank her pee four years ago. Carrie said , "I didn't throw up and it wasn't horrible ". Sometimes it tastes like plum champagne ," she adds , proving just how sophisticated her palette is.

The 53-year-old , who is known as Carrie says, in a preview to the show that for the past four years , she has also washed her eyes with it , poured it in her nose by using a neti pot and brushes her teeth with it.Besides , she also combs it through her hair and used it as face lotion.

"It's tastes like water to me," she told her friend.

While the show has received attention each week highlighting strange and stomach-turning addictions, Carrie's pee problem seems to have made some viewer question the show and its subjects.

"I suppose one could argue that eating you dead husband's ashes is grosser than drinking her own urine ", but there is something uniquely horrifying about this lady pour "aged" urine through her nasal cavity with a neti pot ,then tilt her head back so the snot-tinged piss will pool in the back of her throat".

Carrie's not the first person who come up with this strange supposed cure - it's been a health fad for centuries with a loyal following. 

British newspaper ; The Independent , reported on 2006 that Egyptian medical texts ,as well as Chinese and Indian documents mention drinking urine as cures. Advocates of the current drinking - urine movement reportedly say it can boost energy levels, cure diseases and improve sexual function.

Most doctor doubt about the practice of the health benefits , warning it can cause dehydration and can damage your body.

"There are no health benefits drinking your own urine, and in fact, I think it could be quite detrimental", says Helen Andrews, the British Dietetic Association. He also told The Independent , "each time  you put it back ,it will come out again even more concentrated and there is no good for your health as it could damage the gut. If you are stranded ,your body will try to conserve as much water as it can.Drinking your urine would be like drinking seawater".

Carrie's not the only on this week's episode with issues about what goes into her digestive system.

Another woman on the episode declared her addiction to eat something dirty.

"It just tastes like potato chips," she said.

Introduction to addiction and case #1: Mother of two reveals very 'Strange Addiction': Drinking paint

WHAT IS ADDICTION ?

People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful. Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol, but may include virtually anything, such abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate - in other words, addiction may refer to a substance dependence (e.g. drug addiction) or behavioural addiction (e.g. gambling addiction).

When a person is addicted to something they cannot control how they use it, and become dependent on it to cope with daily life.

SOME TERMS ON ADDICTION 

• Addictive personality                                                                         A concept that was formerly used to explain addiction as the result of pre-existing character defects in individuals.
• Process addiction                                                                         Addiction to certain mood-altering behaviours, such as eating disorders, gambling, sexual activity, overwork, and shopping.
• Tolerance                                                                                          A condition in which an addict needs higher doses of a substance to achieve the same effect previously achieved with a lower dose.
• Withdrawal                                                                                      The unpleasant, sometimes life-threatening physiological changes that occur, due to the discontinuation of use of some drugs after prolonged, regular use.

Alabama, US. Heather Beal, a mother of two, admits that she has guzzled close to three gallons since she first started the practice three years ago. 

'As it's going down your throat it feels very nice and warm, almost like a thicker version of warm milk,' she says. "But obviously, it's got that very strong chemical taste, which is perfect to me."

Ms Beal says that she prefers paint in marker form, and goes to the hardware store to feed her habit. Every day she pries the cap off one paint marker and drinks the contents.



'I drink paint from markers because I have looked for other paints, both in quart or gallon form, and haven't found any that satisfy my desire,' she explains.

She says that her bizarre habit began after her mother died, and that until now no one has seen her drink paint - especially not her children. 

Constant cravings:
She says that she is addicted to paint in all forms , from gallons to markers.

Ms Beal demonstrates how she is able to eat the residue on the surface of the paint marker.

Later in the episode Ms Beal seems to get a wake-up call 

after she visits a doctor and learns that sh/e has done damage to her kidneys.

After someone asked her what she would feel like if one of her kids drank paint, she vowed to kick the habit - and in a recent interview with TLC she claimed she has stayed clean.

Other noticeable signs in people using inhalants include nosebleeds, runny nose,  reddened eyes - and sudden violent behaviour may result because of the effect inhalants have on the brain. Most inhalants depress the central nervous system in a similar way to alcohol, but inhalant abuse can also  cause relaxation, euphoria, slurred speech, hallucinations, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, users of inhalants may lose the ability to walk, talk or think
