No! Drinking camel piss will not cure anything! It's all the toxins and metabolic breakdown products that even a camel didn't want dissolved in as little water as the camel could possibly manage. It will make you sick and if you do it long enough it will kill you. The only thing that will cure is your coroner's boredom when he fills in the section marked "Cause of Death". Since The Prophet (Piss Be Upon Him) and his followers (Piss On Them Too) didn't know better than to drink camel urine you might want to view anything else they may have said with a smidge of scepticism.
Depending on your definition of "cure". If you don't die from some disease, maybe dying from something else would be considered a "cure" for the True Believer?
There are conditions that I wouldn't want to continue living under, but dehydration as the result of a strict camel piss only diet has to be one of the most agonizingly prolonged possible ways to check out. And it's going to make the funeral awkward.
