She is 45 years of age; 5 feet, 1.5 inches tall; and 123 pounds. Millie's quest for health includes yoga, a vegan diet, and topical applications of her own urine, as well as a daily glassful. She has practiced Shivambu (sometimes spelled ?Sivambu?), which is the drinking of one's own first morning urine?200 cc in her practice?as a curative and preventative measure, for over 15 years. Millie applies urine to her skin as well, for the same reasons.
