Modern proponents use pseudoscience to explain the benefits of the various, mostly exaggerated, components of urine.

Madiba picked one of the more far-fetched causes imaginable: the Springboks, the national rugby team, who would host the sport´s World Cup in 1995. Available from Penguin Press (2008)
