In a shocking twist on alternative health practices, a California woman claims that an unconventional and somewhat taboo regimen involving her own urine has not only cured her ailments but has also led to significant weight loss.
A 32-year-old San Diego woman, Grace Jones, shares her unorthodox journey of self-healing and weight loss. Jones attributes her startling transformation, which includes easing her anxiety and shedding thirty pounds, to a regimen she refers to as “urine therapy.” This treatment involves not only drinking her urine but also applying it to her skin and even her eyes.
A typical day in Jones’s life now starts with a morning dose of her unique elixir. Jones claims that this therapy has brought about a significant reduction in her long-standing anxiety. But the benefits, according to her, don’t stop there. She has noted improvements in her eyesight, relief from eczema, a lift from depression, and better control of her high blood pressure. She also credits urine therapy with the substantial weight loss she has experienced and an improvement in her digestive issues.
Jones’s life, once riddled with physical and mental health ailments, has now seen a dramatic turn. She has traded her pain and struggles for a newfound vitality, all thanks to her unconventional treatment. She detailed her method, saying, “I ingest it, snort it, pour it into my eyes, and rub it on my skin and hands. I wee into a cup in the morning and drink it straight away. During the day, I pee into a jar and save it because the more it’s aged, the more potent the nutrients are.”
The practice doesn’t seem to disrupt her nighttime routine either. Jones adds, “I try not to drink it in the evenings because it gives me a lot of energy and keeps me awake. I’m completely off my blood pressure medication. It has helped my skin problems, my hair looks healthier, and I’ve lost 30 pounds. I no longer have depression, anxiety, or brain fog.”
While drinking her urine is undoubtedly a significant part of her regimen, Jones has also adopted a plant-based diet and given up alcohol. These lifestyle changes have collectively contributed to her weight loss and overall health improvements, flying in the face of conventional wisdom.
“I was skeptical at first, and it took me a while to get over the stigma of it. It tastes slightly salty and buttery, but it depends on what you’ve eaten and how you’re feeling. I wanted to get off my blood pressure medication, so I was searching for alternative methods, so when I saw someone on Instagram teaching urine therapy, I just fell into it,” she shared about her initial doubts and eventual commitment.
Jones’s unconventional approach to health and wellness has undeniably raised eyebrows among her friends and family. Despite the backlash and concern, she remains steadfast in her commitment to urine therapy. “I’ve told a couple of my friends and family, and some have said I don’t know what I’m doing or I’m crazy or sick, or I’m going to hurt myself because it’s toxic waste. I haven’t told my boyfriend yet because I don’t think his reaction would be positive. I’m just waiting for the right time. I have my own bathroom so I can keep it hidden,” she confesses.
The broader medical community remains skeptical about the supposed benefits of urine therapy. Dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, concedes that topical application of urine could potentially help with skin issues, but it would require a strict routine.
