  Homeopath= Urine therapy cures many illnesses drink yours twice a day!!!

  by Witness 007 in

  have you looked up urine therapy on the net?

  many web-sites praise drinking your own urine as being extremely good for you.

  i thought this was nuts!!

  The Russians have been using a type of urine therapy for years to cure many of the so-called hospital superbugs such as MRSA. I think its a type of phage therapy:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

  Basically, they realised that some patients contracted illnesses like MRSA in hospital whilst others had immunity - therefore, their bodies must contain something which destroys the bugs, some of which would be excreted in their urine. The sluice water was tested and also found to be clear of the bugs, so something seemed to be happening.

  They drew 'liquid' out of the hospital sewer/sluice, cleaned it up (obviously - ewww!) and then diluted it (much like homeopaths do with their medicines). They then gave this to infected patients to drink over a number of days and many recovered.

  Unfortunately, this treatment is so cheap that the pharmaceutical/biomedical industry isn't interested in running full clinical trials, and the Russians can't afford to, so people are still suffering and dying possibly needlessly.

  I'm totally with BizzyBee and Noni

  Quit blaming other people for YOUR drink problem - go and sort your OWN life out and GROW UP!!

  Are you gonna spend the rest of your miserable existence whining about how badly done-to you are or are you eventually gonna shift off your idle backside and do something?

  No sympathy, no hugs, deal with it.

  I'm snowbirds friend and sister in Christ too

  Like Eliveleth, I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God rather than the literal word of God - His word (truth) is contained within and behind the written words if you like - that's what makes it for many of us, more than just another book.

  At the same time, I still respect the beliefs of those who hold to the literal interpretation of the Bible. I started out as a 'literalist' and I've since gained my knowledge through extensive theological studies. When my literalist beliefs were first challenged, I went crazy and point blank refused to accept it (like what the hell is this Gilgamesh epic etc etc!!), it took time and gentle coaxing before I'd even look at Biblical criticism again, but now I'm ok with it and I don't see any conflict between it and science - they are simply looking at the same universe from different angles.

  To use your analogy of the child growing in understanding, this is how all Christians are, we're at different stages of the journey - but what's important is where we're all headed!! If we're content to believe what we believe at any moment in time and we're better people for it, why try and remove or destroy that faith, we grow and move on as and when we're ready. What's the point of ridiculing it? I'd even say that in some cases certainly, people ridicule other peoples beliefs out of an element of anger or fear - it's bullying, "you don't think/act like us therefore we'll give you a label - stupid, ignorant fool" (as far as I can figure, this isn't what you're doing, Inkling)

  Which is the better course to take when teaching a child that Santa doesn't exist? Call them stupid for believing he does? Ridiculing them? Or trying to understand from their perspective first and gently reasoning with them?

  Food for thought...

  I'm planning on going so they keep me flagged as an 'interested one'. May start attending on some Sundays this year too.

  The only thing is that they'll have to put up with me wearing pants & sweaters as I don't possess nor would I be seen dead in a dress!

  Probably because they don't always teach British history in high school any more.

  My niece who finished school 2 years ago had to learn American history

  Soon, Britain will lose its identity as well as its culture...

  Ah... Mull of Kintyre, I agree, it was the bagpipes which made that song a hit.

  But my favourite is "We all stand together" - a sweet, silly song

  when we have found our path, we naturally want to start to walk down it.

  the reverse isn't true despite what we may believe.

  it is quite futile to learn how to walk when you don't know which path to walk upon.

  Interesting.

  I think the quote has it more right, my reasoning being that if I don't have a desire to do or learn something, then I'll never discover or develop the aptitude. That's not to say that the opposite view isn't correct though.

  Perhaps one begins stronger than the other - if you have aptitude but no desire, you'll just never do it, you may be happy doing something else but never realise how much happier you could have been. If you have desire without the aptitude, you could be happy, but not do the job as well as someone else. In either scenario, you could end up very unhappy and frustrated.

  Maybe desire and aptitude could be viewed as complementary to each other - one developing the other until both are near-perfectly balanced - then you're on exactly the right path rather than a parallel one!
