Drinking camel urine was actually prescribed by the prophet Muhammad. http://www.answering-christianity.com/urine.htm
So, it's no surprise that Muslims find confirmation of the truth of this previously embarrassing saying of their prophet's to drink camel urine for some medicinal purpose.
It's kind of one of those medical discoveries where you wonder who was the first person to try it out; such as taking glycerin (explosive ingredient) to relieve angina* or injecting botox (one of the most dangerous pathogens known to man) into your cheeks to cover the signs of aging.
* Actually, workers at Alfred Nobel's explosives factory who suffered from angina noticed that when they went to work, their chest pain was relieved. Doctors soon correlated their breathing in of glycerin at work to the decrease in chronic pain they suffered from.
It wasn't until the 80's that scientists actually learned both of Nitric Oxide's presence in the body and its role and understood the mechanism behind taking glycerin in reducing a sufferer's pain.
