EFFECTS OF UREA:
1. Diuretic.
2. Migraine: Urea has been used, in doses of 20 grains, 3 times daily for a week, then twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by a 20 grain dose daily for an indefinite period.
3. Wounds and Ulcers have successfully been treated with external applications of Urea.
4. Anti-tumor and Anti-cancer: Urea is said to destabilise the fibrin of solid tumors, making them more vulnerable to chemotherapy and natural immune responses. It also inhibits angiogenesis. When used in 28 patients with advanced Lip cancers (along with curette), response rate was 100%. Of these, 4 patients had recurrences, 3 of which again responded to treatment (Danopoulos et al. 1982). Other researchers have not been able to replicate these findings, although their studies were used with 4 doses per day instead of the 6 used in the original studies.
