Was listening to the two transcriptions from KMUD with Dr. Peat on urea and I was wondering who has had some success with urea, oral or topical.

I must have missed the part where taking it orally was discussed. Which article or I interview was this @ecstatichamster?
It was discussed in this interview, don't know exactly at what mark-
There was a forum thread where some mentioned taking urea orally, too (same interview)- KMUD: 2-20-15 Uses Of Urea
Okay, inspired by this thread (and the 950+ grams of Urea I still have), I decided to do a little experiment. I have a couple old scars, so I got a big bandage, put a little coconut oil on it, and put a decent amount of Urea crystals on it. I'll leave it for a while, and update on any improvements. The crystals seem to start to dissolve into the skin on contact. Not sure if the CO is really necessary, I just thought it would hold the crystals in place (and it did do a pretty good job).
Oh, also tatsted a few crystals. Actually, at least in a small dose, it was basically neutral to bitter. No exactly pleasant..... but pretty far from vile.
Dr. Peat says it doesn't have a flavor when you use it orally. Weird @tankasnowgod
I've used a range of doses from a tsp a few times per day to the dose Ray suggests for serious illness on that show (120G per day).
My experience was that in higher doses I got headaches, but also lost belly fat literally overnight. My urine was very cloudy, which might be related to poor liver function at the time. Glycine has been useful for headaches (not related to blood sugar) for me.

I'm not sure if urea would convert to uric acid in the body or not. Just wanted to urge caution because increasing uric acid can up your risk of kidney stones and gout. I am currently taking inosine, which raises uric acid. For a while I took it with no issues, but then I had to lower my dose a few times after having slight feelings of pressure in the kidneys, a little blood in the urine, mild joint stiffness. I also drink a lot of water, and take a bit of baking soda dissolved in water because I read that it helps dissolve uric acid stones.
Vitamin C also helps to lower Uric Acid, and both substances seem to have some overlap in the body. I'm beginning to think that high uric acid is C sparing, especially when C intake is low-ish
This is true. When I've been on my vitamin dose, as determined by the C-Flush Test, I would test lower on uric acid. From a non-vitamin C week of 385, uric acid would go down to 325.Vitamin C also helps to lower Uric Acid, and both substances seem to have some overlap in the body.
