A self-confessed ‘life enthusiast’ who starred on Australian Ninja Warrior has revealed he drinks, snorts and bathes in his own urine for its supposed health benefits.

Jack Wilson, 29, who is known for spruiking odd conspiracy theories and practises alternative medicine, believes urine has ‘ancient healing qualities’.

The Mount Isa tradie, who identifies as Indigenous and calls himself the ‘Deadly Ninja’, shared disgusting footage on Instagram on Sunday of himself urinating in a hollowed-out pawpaw and drinking the liquid.

Former Australian Ninja Warrior star Jack Wilson has revealed he drinks, snorts and bathes in his own urine for its supposed health benefits. The Mount Isa tradie shared a disgusting video on Instagram on Sunday of himself drinking his own urine from a hollowed-out pawpaw

Standing barefoot in his garden, Wilson said: ‘So, as you can see right here, we have a pawpaw that has been eaten by myself. It is now a bowl, a natural bowl.

‘And now… I’m going to show you how to put the most potent, powerful, healing energy antidote into it, and then consume it to heal anything in the body.’

As he began urinating into the bowl, Wilson looked back at the camera and said: ‘The fountain of youth. This is pretty much the golden elixir. Not even missing a drop.’

There is no scientific evidence that drinking urine offers any health benefits.

He then held the vessel up to his mouth, gave the urine a ‘blessing’, declared ‘bottoms up!’ and began drinking.

Wilson also snorted some of the liquid to ‘clear out the nasal passages’, before rubbing the urine onto his face and hair.

Why you shouldn’t drink urine 

Consuming your own urine can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and electrolyte imbalance, which speeds up dehydration.

In 1945, British naturopath John W. Armstrong published a book claiming drinking urine could cure all major illnesses; however, there is no scientific evidence to support this.

The logic is that urine contains compounds that can be ‘reabsorbed’ to improve the body’s ability to fight disease and provide other detoxifying benefits.

Professor Henry Woo, a urological surgeon at the University of Sydney, said: ‘There is absolutely no scientific evidence to suggest urine therapy has any therapeutic value.

‘Those who drink their own urine do nothing more than make a mockery of themselves.’

Although urine is often described as sterile, it is actually rich in bacteria that live naturally in the urinary tract.

While these are ‘good bacteria’ in the UT, they may be dangerous if consumed.

And drinking your own urine is particularly ill advised if you are battling a UT or bladder infection.

Although often touted as a survival strategy if stranded on a desert island, drinking your own urine actually dehydrates you further due to it being high in salt.

It also forces the kidneys to process toxins that have already passed through the organs, increasing the risk of infection.

When he was finished, he placed the hollowed-out fruit on his head like a hat.  

‘P**S IS BLISS. Learn or judge… Heal or die…’ he wrote in the caption.  

Wilson’s Instagram followers were horrified by the stomach-churning display, with some begging him to seek psychological help.  

‘Maaaaaate?? Was that for real??!’ one commented, while another added: ‘Brother, go get help please.’

Still wearing the pawpaw on his head, he declared: ‘Brothers and sisters. So, if you’ve seen the video. Pawpaw, bowl. You’re thinking, “F**k, he’s lost the plot.” I thought the same.

‘But I was following some people who were doing this practice called “urine therapy”, and all the amazing benefits for your skin, for your hair.

‘You know, to cleanse the system, for energy. To heal any diseases or any ailments or any dysfunctions in the body. I was like, “You know what? I’m going to give this a crack.”‘ 

He declared, 'Brothers and sisters. So, if you've seen the video. Pawpaw, bowl. You're thinking, "F**k, he's lost the plot." I thought the same. But I was following some people who were doing this practice called "urine therapy", and all the amazing benefits for your skin, for your hair'

Wilson, who does not have any medical qualifications, claimed he’d seen an improvement in the look of his skin and eyes after adopting the bizarre practice.

‘I felt it in my being, within my cellular DNA. Deep! I wouldn’t be doing it for fun. There’s something about this. I know it, I feel it. That’s why I don’t give a f**k what anyone thinks,’ he insisted.

He also encouraged other people who are ‘struggling with some sort of disease’ to try drinking their own urine.

‘We were born in p**s! We lived in p**s for nine months! Our own p**s and our mothers’ p**s. Think about that,’ he concluded. 

Wilson continued to promote his cause via Instagram Stories, encouraging his fans to re-share his content and to send him money so he can pay for Instagram ads.

Sitting on the floor naked under a towel, Wilson pleaded: ‘For anybody that believes in the p**s video, if you see the truth in it, support me. I have no money.
