Abul Kasem said
11. Muhammad told sick persons to heal themselves by drinking camel urine.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 82, Number 797:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of people from ‘Ukl (or ‘Uraina) tribe —-but I think he said that they were from ‘Ukl came to Medina and (they became ill, so) the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and told them to go out and drink the camels’ urine and milk (as a medicine). So they went and drank it, and when they became healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This news reached the Prophet early in the morning, so he sent (some) men in their pursuit and they were captured and brought to the Prophet before midday. He ordered to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be branded with heated iron pieces and they were thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said, “Those were the people who committed theft and murder and reverted to disbelief after being believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah and His Apostle”).
Social Drawback: Now Muslim usually tries to humiliate people of other religion that they drink Cow Piss , etc. But they are themselves following a similar way to medicate themselves.

Let us understand it with the understanding of Companions of Prophet peace be upon him, أبا مجلز asked Abdullah bin Umar ra regarding the urine of his she-camel, Abdullah bin Umar ra replied اغسل ما اصابك منه Wash that whatever touched you[Al Muhalla by Ibn Hazam 1/179, Ibn Abi Shaiba 1/212)
So companions used to stay away from the urine of she-camel, The hadith does not mean that we should go and drink the urine. The hadith also says they became healthy. Now let us see what science says
a) What is Premarin(e)?
Premarin® stands for Pregnant Mares’ Urine (PREgnant MARes’ urINe); PMU for short (we spell it both ways, with an “e”, PREgnant MARes’ urINE which is the older name used in Canada, and without — which is the more popular recent spelling, and the one that is a U.S. registered trademark).
Premarin (including Prempro, Premphase, Prempac, and Premelle) is a drug made up of conjugated estrogens obtained from the urine of pregnant mares — put out in many forms (pills, creams, injections, patches, vaginal rings) and is used to reduce the symptoms of menopause in women or women who have had a hysterectomy. It is also prescribed to nearly eliminate the risk of osteoporosis (the brittling of bones) and reduce the chance of heart disease in women over 50.

Abul Kasem should make a rebuttle of premarin website.

d) Camel urine a cure for cancer
Cancer cures do not generally conjure up visions of camel’s urine, but a Saudi doctor has just won a prestigious award for using it to do just that.
Faten Khorsheed, from King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, was chosen as having one of the six best innovations out of 600 entrants in the Asia Cup at the ITEX technology and education expo in Kuala Lumpur, the daily Saudi Gazette reported on Wednesday.
Khorsheed uses micro particles in camel’s urine to treat cancer, the newspaper said.
There are those that believe camel’s urine can help to slow the ageing process and increase beauty, but there has been little scientific evidence to back this up.
Khorsheed was one of eight winning Saudi inventors to scoop awards at the annual ITEX expo, the newspaper said.
Entrants stand to win awards for their innovations ranging from “bronze” up to “gold”.

I) and Lastly It is mentioned in Ash-Shifa” of Qadi ‘Iyad, translated by Aisha Bewley, p 348-351 SECTION 3:The Prophet’s states with respect to worldly matters
We will examine the Prophet’s worldly states with respect to his beliefs, reports and actions. As for worldly beliefs, one aspect of his state in this regard is that it was possible for him to believe something concerning the matters of this world based on one interpretation when the opposite was true, or to be subject to doubt or supposition regarding them. These matters are not the same as matters of the Shari’a.
Rafi’ ibn Khadij said that the Messenger of Allah came to Madina while they were pollinating the dates and asked, “What are you doing?” They told him and he said, “Perhaps it would be better not to do it.” So they left it and there were less dates. They mentioned that to him and he said, “I am a man. If I command you to do something in your deen, then do it. If I tell you something from opinion, I am but a man.”‘ Anas added, “You know better the affairs of your world.” Another variant has, “I had an opinion, so do not blame me for having an opinion.”
In the hadith from Ibn ‘Abbas we find, “I am a man. What I tell you from Allah is true. In what I say from myself, I am but a man. I can err and I can be right.” This is what he said about himself regarding his opinions about the affairs of this world. That is not the case with any words which came from him or his ijtihad when laying down the Shari’a or making a sunna.1
