The story of Nathan for You is fictional. It's designed to be humorous and engaging, not based on real events or people. The characters and situations are made up to entertain the audience.
One success story could be in a medical research setting. Scientists were able to substitute a synthetic urine component for a missing or deficient one in patients with certain kidney disorders. This substitution helped to regulate the patients' fluid and waste balance more effectively, leading to an improvement in their overall health and a reduction in symptoms related to the kidney problems.
I don't really know who Nathan Bartlett is in this context. He could be an ordinary person whose story is being told, or perhaps he's someone with a unique or remarkable story.
The 'Funeral Home' segment was quite something. Nathan Fielder proposed to a funeral home that they offer a new service, a 'reverse - mortuary' where people could come and practice being dead. It was a completely absurd idea. He set up a fake marketing campaign for it, with brochures and testimonials. He even had people come in to test out the experience. It was all a big joke, but he played it so straight - faced that the funeral home owners and the public were both caught up in this strange fake story. He used the shock value of the idea to draw attention to the funeral home in a very different way.
There have also been reports in some alternative medicine practices, although not widely accepted in mainstream medicine. In some traditional healing methods in certain cultures, urine injections were part of a holistic approach. People claimed that it helped in improving their overall well - being. However, it should be noted that these claims lack scientific validation on a large scale.
One possible consequence is kidney damage. The kidneys are designed to filter out waste from the blood to form urine. When you drink urine, you're forcing the kidneys to re - process those toxins, which can overwork and damage them. Additionally, there can be problems with the digestive system. The substances in urine can irritate the stomach and intestines, causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms can further weaken the body in a survival situation where every bit of strength is crucial.
One horror story is about a group of hikers who got lost in the desert. One of them, in a desperate attempt to survive, drank his own urine. But it made him extremely sick. His body couldn't handle the toxins that were being re - introduced, and he had violent vomiting and diarrhea, which further dehydrated him and made his situation even worse.
Well, for starters, injecting urine is a very unnatural and dangerous process. But more importantly, drug testing facilities have multiple safeguards in place. They can analyze the sample for a whole range of substances and characteristics. For instance, they might look at the pH level, the presence of certain metabolites, and the physical properties of the sample. An injected urine sample is likely to deviate from the normal parameters and thus be flagged as a fraudulent sample, which is why there are no success stories.
Using urine injection to pass a drug test is unethical and often illegal. It also poses serious health risks. So, there should be no so - called 'success stories' in the right sense. Most legitimate drug tests are designed to prevent such cheating methods, and engaging in this behavior can lead to severe consequences if discovered.
Medical treatment is a major application. For patients with kidney diseases where the normal urine production or composition is disrupted, urine substitution can help in maintaining the body's internal balance. For instance, if the kidneys are not filtering out enough waste, a substitute can assist in removing toxins.
