Paresh Rawal Slammed by Liver Doc for Promoting 'Dangerous' Urine-Drinking Practice

Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has found himself at the centre of controversy after making a shocking health-related claim. In a recent interview with Lallantop on April 27, Paresh Rawal shared that he once drank his own urine for 15 days to recover faster from a knee injury. The actor, known for his wit, said, "If I had to do it, I thought, I will sip it like beer."

His revelation soon sparked a major debate online. While some were surprised, many medical professionals quickly stepped forward to warn people about the dangers of such practices. One of the loudest voices against Rawal’s claim was Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, famously known as "The Liver Doc" on social media.

Dr Philips issued a strong warning, asking people not to blindly follow such advice. He said, "Please don't drink your urine (or others) because a Bollywood actor says so. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking urine provides any health benefits."

He further explained the risks involved, saying, "In fact, consuming urine can be harmful, potentially introducing bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances into the bloodstream. Your kidneys work very hard to remove toxic stuff out of your body through urine. Don't insult it by putting it back in. Urine is NOT sterile. Urine is a potent combination of salts and chemicals that your body is attempting to remove. These chemicals can cause significant health problems if you consume them."

The Liver Doc did not hold back his criticism. He even mocked Paresh Rawal by calling him, "the perfect example of the Indian WhatsApp Boomer Uncle," and added, "He's saying this to stay alive in the media."

Despite the backlash, Paresh Rawal’s statement has definitely ignited conversations across social media. However, health experts continue to remind everyone that unscientific methods like urine therapy can do more harm than good.

At a time when misinformation spreads easily, doctors urge people to rely on proper medical advice rather than celebrity-endorsed hacks. While Rawal’s experience might have been personal, promoting such practices without scientific backing can lead to dangerous consequences.
