Sabili himself drank some camel urine in the video, saying he needed it to protect him from the air pollution in Tehran. He advised his viewers to drink camel urine three times a day for three days and said that the urine is best drunk while in its “initial, hot temperature.” Videos of a cleric giving coronavirus patients at a hospital in northern Iran a perfume to smell as a cure for the virus also went viral on social media last month. One of the coronavirus patients visited by the cleric died a few days later. The cleric, who is also a follower of Islamic medicine, was later arrested.
