Christopher Topher Gardner advocates for Shivambu, or urine therapy, as a highly effective method for healing physical injuries. He shares personal accounts of using urine to treat severe hand lacerations from an auger bit and caustic cement burns, claiming the liquid contains a high concentration of genetically matched pleomorphic cells. The practice is presented as a way to reclaim biological authority and utilize the body's natural regenerative capabilities.

Cotenoir suggests that any creative act following alchemical laws can serve as a practice for inner unification, even without a laboratory. He discusses his book series, which moves from the "concrete" (Practical Alchemy) to the "abstract" (Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter). The goal is to provide a framework where physical work with herbs and tinctures supports spiritual development.
