I seem to recall reading about a diet practice that was hyped up in the 70's that involved shots of pregnant women's or pregnant horse's urine... I forget which... could that possibly be it? For some reason I think this falls under "bariatrics" but I don't know WHY I think that. I remember driving past a bariatric doct's office once and asking my mother what that was and I think she said something about shots for weight loss... I read about the urine shots in a book... maybe I put 2 and 2 together in my head and came up with 10. :-) (i.e., i could be totally wrong here...)
