I realize urine always has an ammonia smell, but lately it's had a stronger ammonia smell. Could be a good sign that my body is flushing out toxins from spirochetes?

Looking for thoughts and if anyone can relate.

I never smelled ammonia, but I did smell cat pee and it was in my sweat too. Horrible! But haven't had that for awhile.

It does.make sends.that the body would be detoxing. Keep flushing and doing the usual detox things like lemon water, milk thistle, body brushing, Epsom salts baths, etc...

Actually, a healthy person should have NO smell to their urine, and it should not be cloudy either.

The ammonia smell you have to your urine (I have it VERY strong!!) is due to the toxins, mainly ammonia, of course.

While it does show that your body is processing out the toxins, it also means you have an overload of them, so I would encourage you to increase your detoxing.

My ammonia smell can get so strong that it actually can be an overwhelming smell of burning plastic. I didn't realize it was connected to the ammonia until it finally started to ease up, and that's when I made the connection, that it was a super strong ammonia smell.

I increased my detoxing of my kidneys and liver and that has seemed to help some. At least I now have more times of just the "cat pee" smell rather than the burning plastic smell.

First of all if you are on Gabapentin, your pee is going to smell. There is no getting around this.

If your not, then Modified Citrus Pectin was what I believed worked for me but I took it along side high doses of Monolaurin.

4 grams of each daily and some times more at night. I went through 2 bottles and somewhere along the near end of the second bottle I noticed a big difference, a lot less of the ammonia like smell.

So actually recall that I once said 30 days but it was closer to 60 days treatment before positive result.

I am waiting for the new bottles to arrive and am still better in this respect.

My pee smell was so bad the first round of antibiotics, it smelled like perm solution!! I can say it is ammonia I smell now, but it is an odd smell.

Tick41 -

Yes, as others have mentioned, there can be a few reasons for strong urine smell. Mine always had a higher "ammonia" smell - usually due to my liver and kidneys really working hard. I like to kick up the water intake and detox when this happens... Pee should also be fairly clear or yellow - not orange or any other color. This is also a signal that you need more water, first-and-foremost. You need to detox more.

Or sometimes it would have a hoppy smell (like beer/grain hops or yeast) and was very cloudy ---because I was either really overloaded w/ yeast/fungus or on an intense antifungal program, which was flushing a lot of gunk out.
