New Gurus: 2. Taking the Urine
Will Blunderfield is the son of a doctor. So how did he end up swapping traditional medicine for extreme wellness practices?
Will Blunderfield grew up, he says, an unhappy, unhealthy kid. Now he feels great β as a βwild naked manβ who drinks his own urine.
Across the world, wellness is a multi-billion pound industry, even though some of its practices are unproven, extreme or even harmful. So why are so many people unimpressed with what 21st century medicine can offer them, and turning to internet gurus instead?
The New Gurus is a series about looking for enlightenment in the digital world.
