Comments on: NASA astronauts to drink their own urine today?

The latest NASA mission is trying out a new water recycling device.

They are not going to be drinking until mid next year. They want to make sure it actually works.

I have read about the economics for pharmaceutical companies to operate space stationed laboratories for growing cells with symmetric molecular structure because of 0 gravity environment. this is to contribute in developing better medicines for gene therapy. Laboratories in space will reduce the number of cells grown that could not be used or are less potent in correcting genetic disorders because of irregular structure. Everything comes at a price but some prices should be better than others (like a 250 Million dollar filtering system; a subcomponent of a shuttle). Besides souls are the reason for life including those of the homeless and the poor. life is the reason for science.

Hi everyone,
There are TRILLIONS of USA dollars being made in the USA RIGHT NOW by the sale of health care products, skin creams, sex hormones, cancer medications, ect, ALL of which use human urine or certain componants found in human urine. They even mix human urine with animal urine in some cases and sell it to you as "medicine".
The LAST thing they want you to know is that drinking your own urine is by far the healthiest thing for us to do. I must say, right here, that not every one is allowed to drink their own urine, and they are those poor souls with liver or kidney diseases, these people SHOULD NOT EVER DRINK THEIR OWN URINE.
However, i have read in a book or two that these two diseases can be CURED (they say) if the patient injects his own urine, 1cc a few times a day into his own bloodstream or muscle tisues (do your own research on this topic - and never ever ask a medical doctor because he will only mock you ). This, injecting urine into the blood stream in small amounts, they say, will cure the liver and/or kidney disease, and will allow the person to later begin drinking his or her own urine to prevent future sicknesses.
The best urine to drink is your first, morning, midstream flow - only if you DO NOT have liver or kidney disease. Our bodies are TRULY amazing, and the liver and kidneys produce a sterile, blood by-product called urine (in lay terms). THIS is the TRUE fountain of youth and health and they simply don't want you to know about it because they would lose too much money if they did tell you - no one would get sick.

So, $250 million dollars to have this "super duper high-tech NASA urine filtering machine" to make everyone believe that our own urine is so filthy and needs to be filtered only by a $250 million dollar machine is really not all that expensive, at all, when you really think about what this industry stands to lose if we knew the truth.
Granted, it's not safe to drink someone else's urine, so maybe this NASA machine makes the groups' urine safe for all on-board to drink, but, it is still a very silly concept because THEY KNOW damn well that we CAN drink our OWN urine and be healthy as the result. They mix the truth with a $250 million dollar machine.

If you want to learn more about Urine Therapy, simply google " the benefits of drinking urine" and see the pages upon pages from all over the world saying to do it.
If you're REALLY sceptical, google "the dangers of drinking urine" and see what pops up - other than what i've already mentioned, there are no dangers. Of course, no medical doctor will suggest that you do it, even though they should be aware that it is extremely healthy to do.

It's the same thing when your frost-free fridge is leaking water in itself. All that needs to be done is to pull out the little thing that catches the water and pass a Q-tip through it to clean out the gunk that has accumilated and is blocking the passage to the drain making the water back-up in the fridge.
The repair man will never tell you to do that yourself because if he did he wouldn't make the $75 service charge to do it for you. It's all about making money from uninformed people who are being blindfolded with deceptions and misinformations.

Stay healthy, and by all means - TURN OFF your TV news which the TV stations broadcast. Watch the news with a sceptical mind. Go to www.youtube.com and search for your news. The truth is much different from the trash they feed us on the nightly news and in teh brainwashing TV shows being aired.

Stay well,
Robbie
