Healing Crisis

A healing crisis is a temporary worsening of symptoms after beginning a CAM (Complementary and alternative medicine) treatment. You may also see it called a homeopathic aggravation, a detox reaction, or a cleansing reaction.  The part of your body that ached or acted up in the past might start aching or acting up again.  You may see symptoms again from a past illness.  These are typical patterns of a healing crisis.  I think many people stop urine therapy because they worry that because experiencing an adverse effect rather than improvement may have been from drinking urine.  I was one of those people.  But there is no need to worry.  No matter how long you keep drinking urine, there is no harm.

 

Then why do these things happen effect?  The following is an explanation.

There are many different kinds of substances that are contained in urine that act as activation agents.  They include urea, sodium, potassium, salt ions, ammonia, creatine, creatinine, magnesium and many other fine elements in minute quantities.

​

These minute particles were already in the bloodstream playing an active role in revitalizing the body.  The amount of some of these particles is too small to analyze and even detect, and the makeup and quantities of these particles vary between individuals.  The healing crisis is triggered and appears externally when these particles in urine stimulate cellular activation through bodily processes and expel the bad elements inside the body.  The power of the body activated by the effects of urine targets old causes of illnesses nestled inside and accumulated toxins or viruses.  Healing crisis is the reaction from severing the effects of these bad elements from the past.  It is not a harmful symptom from drinking urine, but a welcome response from doing so.

​

Some people exhibit healing crises, some do not.  Some of the more reported common reactions include:

​

• Body aches all over

• Diarrhea

• Body is sluggish

• Body itches

• Inflamed or infected rash

• Nausea

• Loss of appetite

• Headache

• Old wound / scar tissue pain

These effects may show up in the head, face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tooth, tongue, throat, chest, esophagus, stomach, intestine, anus, skin, or in entire body.

How long a healing crisis is exhibited depends on the person.  People have been reported to exhibit only for a day, 4-5 days, one month, three months, or even 6 months.  There does not seem to be a set trend.  Healing crisis seems to be common If one had a long illness or have been taking drugs for a long period of time.  There are cases where one might experience the crisis not just once, but two or three time repeatedly.  Rarely do we see it repeated over three times.

 

If the crisis reaction is severe, you may want to suspend urine therapy for about three days until the body conditions can stabilize and then recommence.  You can suspend every time you experience a strong crisis reaction or use a preventative measure by starting with smaller quantities of urine and gradually increasing the amount.

To see positive effects of drinking urine, including eliminating the targeted symptom, it has been reported that it might take 2-3 days at the shortest and finally after a year on the long side.  It is highly dependent on the individual.
