<\n\nThe New York Post\n\nCITY TAKES SON FROM PEE-BRAINED FOOD NUT<\/strong>
\nBy JENNIFER FERMINO<\/p>\n

February 5, 2007 — The baby son of a urine-drinking East Village health guru to the stars has been taken from his father’s care because the dad failed to bring the boy to a doctor for a fractured ankle.<\/p>\n

Instead, David Jubb treated the 20-month-old’s fractures by crafting a brace out of chopsticks.<\/p>\n

“He did not follow [Administration for Children’s Services] instructions to bring the child to the doctor,” said a Family Court source. Jubb, who said his devotees include Liv Tyler, Carol Alt and Donna Karan, insists he’s being railroaded by the ACS because of his unorthodox views on nutrition.<\/p>\n

And his “diet” is indeed different.<\/p>\n

Besides drinking his own urine, the Australian native claims he gave up food for years and existed on mostly air and light while practicing “breatharianism,” a kooky movement that’s considered a hoax by the scientific community.<\/p>\n

Jubb is the first to admit, “I’m not your average ham sandwich.”<\/p>\n

It all began when Jubb, who had full custody, took his son, Dakota, for a supervised visit with his mother, Jennifer Jarosik, at the ACS. They met there because Jubb has a restraining order against her.<\/p>\n

During the Jan. 8 visit, authorities noticed Dakota’s swollen ankle. They removed him into foster care two days later, when Jubb still had not brought him in for treatment.<\/p>\n

A week after that, the boy was handed over to his mother temporarily, the source said.<\/p>\n

“His mother is very unbalanced,” Jubb said.<\/p>\n

She could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

Jubb, who has a doctorate degree in nutrition, said he didn’t take the baby to the doctor because he planned on observing him.<\/p>\n

Mary Ann LoFrumento, a pediatrician contacted by The Post, said those type of fractures can look harmless to the naked eye because there might not be much swelling.<\/p>\n

“He could’ve been fooled into thinking it wasn’t that serious,” she said.<\/p>\n

Jubb said things also got testy when ACS officials began questioning him about the tot’s diet.<\/p>\n

“They were saying, ‘You’re not feeding him,’ ” Jubb recalled.<\/p>\n

He is raising the boy as a “lifefoodarian,” which means he doesn’t feed him meat, dairy, wheat, certain starches, cooked foods and many conventional proteins.<\/p>\n
