Arnold Ehret
1 Thanks Arnold
In first reading I hade problems to digest and accept author ideas. I think that the most denying part was in my mind. Because of lack of other joys, it made wrong food us something very satisfying and needed. Medicine for different depressions formed in everyday life tasks. After "master cleanser" diet (fast), which was not so positive for me and reading book again I found my understanding to reach deeper levels of food story. This system is also body friendly and teaches to be sensitive with what is going on in you. Author is maybe a little too sure in his expositions, but anyway, this book is a definitive push for me in improving my living and health.
2 New Perspective on health
Ehert utlises a very unconventional approach to wellness that is very simple and basic. This book has served as a useful pivot in my journey to wellness. Though written in the early 1900's many of Eherts's concepts are still expoused today in writings on the acidic/alkaline relationship to disease. Would encourage readers to approach with an open mind. The results I have had from this program have far exceeded any of the conventional kind.
3 Saved My Life! Best Book I've EVER Read on Fasting & Diet!!!
I was poisoned by the birth control shot depo provera. Immediately falling sick with symptoms I went back to the doctor. She told me no way was it the shot that was making me sick. She was concerned there was something wrong in my brain and from there I ended up at two different neurologists, a chiropractor, many nurse practitions, an ear nose and throat doctor and on and on. I was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia. (...)
No doctor could cure me. They all gave me various drugs, which I took willing.. (foolish me!!) but not one of them cured me. They only further POISONED MY SYSTEM!
I was cured by one thing and one thing only! FASTING AND A MUCUS FREE DIET! I have researched fasting and diet for healing purposes extensively. My stack of books on the subjects stacks waist high. This is by far, hands down, the book I recommend the highest.
If you've read Fast Your Way To Health and/or The Miracle of Fasting, this one is even better!! A+++
I URGE you to read this book! If you apply what he teaches you will change your life. You WILL regain a greater health than you have ever known!
4 This book teaches true health, which is true freedom.
In the last few centuries, no one has come close to a more safe and effective method of healing than Dr. Ehret. For centuries, man has abused his stomach, and therefore, has cut short his life span and quality of life. Dr. Ehret has revealed the truths that convey the idea: "you are what you really eat." This is a must have for every American, athlete, elder, chronically sick, and young healthy person in the world today. Discover what the dangers or our modern diets are and how they show themselves in our everyday lives by gray hair, cancer, cavities, and obesity.
5 Can you say racist quack doctor?
Here is what the doc says on page 72:
"The white race is an unnatural, sick pathological race. First, the colored skin pigment is lacking, due to a lack of coloring mineral salts. Secondly, the blood is continually overfilled by white corpuscles, mucus, and waste with white color, therefore the white appearance of his entire body...
The skin pores of the white man are constipated by white, dry mucus...his entire system is filled up and filled out with it. It's no wonder that he looks white, pale and anemic. Everybody knows that an extreme case of paleness is a bad sign."
6 Wonderful rejuvenating effects, but not a normal diet
I believe that the Mucusless Diet is a cleansing diet and not one that most people do well on permanently. It's a diet that one should use temporarily to possibly correct a health condition. I do not agree with his theory that eating protein is not healthy. It's a shame that Professor Ehret died at such a early age (from an unfortunate head injury) because it would have been interesting to see how long he would have lived.
7 Every modern man and woman should try this ...
I've had rumathoid arthritis for 15 years and the ONLY "treatment" with positive results was this diet of Ehret. No more pain killers, no more acne (thanks to cortisone etc.) no more depression and NO pain or swelling. All allergies disappeared and I can eat almost anything in moderation. Had candida (chronic) - this also disappeared after the fast and never returned thanks to this MUCUSLESS DIET of Ehret. I don't miss any animal proteins in my diet and have no cravings! My husband and daughter loves this diet - they feel so clean! Read the book - it will make all the difference!
8 Disease, aging, and death are reversible chemical processes
Reading between the lines of this simple yet profound book tells us that aging is based on the progressive accumulation of nonfunctional matter within the confines of the body which ultimately obstructs organ function until a key organ fails and death ensures. The origin of the nonfunctional matter within the body is from diet. If the foods we eat are not completely digested down to simple sugars and amino acids, and these incompletely digested fragments are absorbed, they only serve to obstruct the body's internal mechanisms. Aging is based on the progressive accumulation of nonfunctional matter originating in diet. If we can eliminate more nonfunctional matter from the body on a day to day basis than is formed, we have in fact reversed the aging process. Nonfunctional matter is eliminated from the body through two surfaces: the skin by sweating and the entire lining of the alimentary canal from the mouth to the anus, in particular fhrough the surface of the colon from the goblet cells. The substance of Ehret's book is the same as that found in the HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA which is a sanskrit text explaining the scientific basis of physical immortality. The key to making spiritual progress is the complete purification of the physical body. For the brain to function on a higher level the substance in the body that limits the electrical capacity of the brain must first be removed. The rest is then automatic.
9 Ehret unveils the common sense truth about perfect health!
If you want to know the hard-core, all inclusive truth about regaining your body's perfect health, do yourself the biggest favor you will ever do in this lifetime and read this book. Follow it as closely as possible and you too will reclaim what is your birthright.....PERFECT HEALTH !!!
10 Amazing!
What Prof. Ehret has to offer the world is not new but has been lost. I became a fruitarian after reading this book three years ago. Read it. You will be surprised.
11 One of the greatest Books !
I read this Book in 1970 and continue to be influenced by it. It released me from the fear of how disease occurs. His simplicity of style and intensity of his cause to help humanity make me wish more people would read his work, though the truths he discovered and conveyed are universal , and are being confirmed daily.
12 For Truth Seekers: On the body, food, obstruction, vitality
Reading this book I feel like a archeologist having just discovered in some anchient tomb, a manuscript containing the greatest secrets to life! Prof. Ehret uncovers in simple language the most fundamental aspects about the nature of the body, accumulation of obstructions, mucous and toxins and the resulting disease, by what ever name they may be called. Also how to go about cleansing the body while transitioning to a pure, natural diet that is meant for our bodies. The book appeals to our common sense and rings clear as an obvious but completely overlooked truth.
13 Cowabunga! A cure for all disease is found.
The "Mucusless Diet Healing System" is a book that teaches you an entirely new understanding of the human body as it relates to food consumption or nonconsumption, as the case may be.The body's eliminating functions are described in great detail. Thank you.
14 Turn of the century view of health,healing,+achieving them
While obviously not based on modern day science, he was indeed cutting edge in his time. Many of his ideas have withstood the test of time and science. Some however, like the 40 day fast- are not advised. He pioneered ideas like dairy products are not best for everyone (lactose intolerant) as well as that meat may clog you and slow you down,as some heart doctors say nowadays. He also points out that modern man has very little to lose by missing a meal now and then. Interesting reading from a pioneer of modern diet and medicine
