  1. Hello,

    Lately my urine is bright yellow. I don't know why but its
    almost flourescent when put against a white background. Any
    idea what it means?

    Thanks

    Any idea what it means?

    Have you recently started taking any nutritional
    supplements, especially containing B vitamins, in particular
    the powerful detoxifying vitamin B2 (riboflavin)? If so,
    what you are seeing is artificial food coloring, synthetic
    textile dyes, fluorescent dyes added to laundry detergent,
    etc. being released from your body. It's completely
    harmless, in fact, it's a good sign. It will clear up in a
    few days, unless you've got a really bad case. If you need
    major detoxification, add a single-component riboflavin
    supplement will speed things up a lot. At first, your urine
    would become even more brightly colored, but eventually it
    will clear up after the last toxins are released.

    VERY IMPORTANT -- don't stop taking the riboflavin until
    your urine runs clear. Riboflavin releases the toxins and
    helps them run out of the body in the urine. If you suddenly
    stop taking the riboflavin mid-stride, there will be high
    levels of toxins that were released into your bloodstream,
    but they will be trapped trying to get out of your body.
    That could have uncertain consequences! You can get
    riboflavin at pretty much any supermarket or drugstore these
    days. Don't worry about brands -- all riboflavin is the
    same. The cheapest generic riboflavin is as good as any
    other. Hope this helps!

  3. Might mean that you take vitamins.

    You wouldn't, by any chance, happen to be taking a B-vitamin
    supplement? Riboflavin will do that.

    Thanks!! It never occured to me! I have been taking some
    multivitamins and antioxidants because I've been feeling
    really tired lately. Among other vit's it has 25mg of
    riboflavin, 25mg of b-6 and 50mcg of b-12. It hasn't helped
    much but I've only been taking it for a week now. Mystery
    solved! 🙂

    food coloring, synthetic textile dyes, fluorescent dyes

    your body.

    This is fascinating information, and you could be right, but
    why does B2 make the urine only change to bright yellow?
    After all, there are various coloured dyes, so wouldn't the
    urine change to all sorts of colours depending on artificial
    food colours consumed i.e., in some cases wouldn't the urine
    would go red, green or blue if say coloured cordials,
    lollies were consumed.

    How reliable is this information i.e., that B2 helps the
    body eliminate artificial food colourings? I had always
    thought the bright yellow urine colour was because
    vitamin B is water soluable and any excess gets
    eliminated pretty quickly (vitamin b tablets are yellow),
    hence the yellow urine.

    always assume my body doesn't need it if it keeps getting
    passed out in my urine.

    Yellow is the color you get if you mix all the colors
    together. In a very bad case, you might get brown, but
    usually it will be yellow which is a dilute form of brown.

    It's like if you collected every color of paint turned in
    for recycling and mixed them all together -- you'd get
    brown, and if you diluted that brown paint mixture with
    white paint, you'd get yellow.

    That's what the pharmaceutical companies want you to
    believe! They spread the myth that excess vitamins are
    passed into the urine, and that any money you spend on
    nutritional supplements is wasted. That's because they would
    be put out of business tomorrow if everybody were taking
    vitamins for health.

    Think about it! Your body saves as fat every extra calorie
    you eat. Why would your body not save something even more
    valuable, like vitamins? The notion that excess vitamins are
    lost in the urine makes no sense! All vitamins are stored in
    the body. Hope this helps! :-)

    Yes, I thought of this later. Blue or red added to already
    yellow urine merely changes the shade i.e., to more green or
    lemon coloured or more orange coloured in the case of red
    artificial coloring.

    even more brightly colored, but eventually it will
    clear up after the last toxins are released.

    I've never taken vitamin b for very long because of this
    highly coloured urine thing, which is a bit off putting.
    I always assume my body doesn't need it if it keeps
    getting passed out in my urine.

    That's what the pharmaceutical companies want you to
    believe! They spread the myth that excess vitamins are
    passed into the urine, and that any money you spend on
    nutritional supplements is wasted. That's because they
    would be put out of business tomorrow if everybody were
    taking vitamins for health.

    Of course this makes sense and I wouldn't be at all
    surprised.

    This is fascinating information, and you could be
    right, but why does B2 make the urine only change to
    bright yellow? After all, there are various coloured
    dyes, so wouldn't the urine change to all sorts of
    colours depending on artificial food colours consumed
    i.e., in some cases wouldn't the urine would go red,
    green or blue if say coloured cordials, lollies were
    consumed.

    Yellow is the color you get if you mix all the colors
    together. In a very bad case, you might get brown, but
    usually it will be yellow which is a dilute form of
    brown.

    It's like if you collected every color of paint turned
    in for recycling and mixed them all together -- you'd
    get brown, and if you diluted that brown paint mixture
    with white paint, you'd get yellow.

    Yes, I thought of this later. Blue or red added to already
    yellow urine merely changes the shade i.e., to more green
    or lemon coloured or more orange coloured in the case of
    red artificial coloring.

    I'm not saying they're aren't variations in urine color due
    to diet or other factors. I had a friend who was given a new
    orange sofa from her parents, and her urine was always that
    exact same orange color. She thought it was cool that her
    urine mached her sofa, but I thought it was kinda creepy,
    myself. You don't know anything about what that orange color
    is, and it sure ain't natural.

    100% reliable. Sonic.net has a review committee of
    experts that perform fact-checking on all Usenet
    postings transmitted from this site. Not all sites
    perform this service, but the more reputable ones do.

    But sonic.net is an ISP. Surely you wouldn't expect them
    to research information to this level, and where did the

    You'd have to ask Sonic.net where they get their experts
    from. I know the selection has to be approved by their
    lawyers, because they once got sued by the Church of
    Scientology, and they had to prove that L. Ron Hubbard
    really was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was
    in the U.S. Navy.

    It's actually much worse than that. They have secretly
    bought up all of the sources of coral calcium, so that they
    will be able to take it off the market. Already prices have
    doubled here in the U.S., and a friend of mine who works at
    a health food store says her boss is stockpiling a whole
    warehouse full of it. By next year, prices could be ten
    times higher.

    I couldn't rule it out. I suppose it could be just a

    wouldn't think so.

    A fabrication? Sonic.net does not allow posting incorrect

    Google for that.

    What's so hard to believe? That someone would stockpile

    capitalism. It happens all the time. Like the current
    situation in the oil business.

    But what standard of proof would be enough for you? Whatever

    the witnesses being silenced, who would dare to place
    themselves at risk by speaking up?
