Hi Rose Goddess and Chuck Bluestein,
Nice to see you are writing about a pioneer of Fasting and the Fruit diet, Prof. Arnolf Ehret. Just finished readin his book, did a 4 day fast, broke it with fruit for 2 days after the fast, but then meat and regular pre-fast diet. I did manage to start a transitional phaser, whihc may take many months or years even before a full change over takes place. Thats what I liked most about his theory and practices, allowing time for the full change to occur. Interestingly, during my fast on 6 lemons per day with 2 litres of water and herb teas, I had my left knee kick back into place, whiole walking down the street on day 3 of the fast. I hope to cure my tendonits of my scapula, thanks to a Massage Therapist looking to cash in, on the next fast which may end up to be 3-6days, dependingon my to do list that week. This si totake place by the end of the month May 2010. Will let you know how I do….bye for now.
Steve

Here are a few highlights of what Wikipedia says about Arnold Ehret (1866 to 1922 died from an accident)

At 31, he was diagnosed with Bright’s disease (inflammation of the kidneys) by Dr G. Riedlin, and pronounced incurable by 24 of Europe’s most respected doctors.

He took a course at a university of medicine, physiology and chemistry.

Due to his new lifestyle, Ehret claimed to have cured himself of his diseases and to be able to perform feats of physiological strength, including a 1000 mile bicycle trip from Algiers to Tunis.

Having renounced the nitrogenous-albumin metabolic theory in 1909, he learned of a contemporary, Thomas Powell M.D. in 1912, who concurred with his belief that “grape sugar” (simple sugars in fruits and vegetables) was the optimum fuel source, body building material and agent of vitality, for humans, not protein rich foods.

His findings about food values and pH values, were supported by chemist, Julius Hensel,[48] and Swedish chemist, Ragnar Berg.

After collaborating with Henri Oedenkoven who owned Monte Verità,[38][39] Ehret opened a sanitarium in Ascona, Switzerland[40] and another ‘Fruit and Fasting Sanitarium’,[41] in nearby Locarno, treating thousands of patients considered incurable.

In 1994, Gary Null Ph.D. wrote: “Arnold Ehret was a man of unique insight with a prophetic understanding of how to cleanse and rebuild the body. It would take the world of orthodox medicine 80 years to catch up with him.”[85]

Wikpedia says “Ehret was a founder of naturopathy and pioneer of Ehretism. He claimed to have discovered that the human body is an “air-gas engine” that is powered exclusively by oxygen and that a diet consisting of fruits, starchless vegetables and edible green leaves (”herbs”), which he dubbed ‘mucusless’ foods, is the optimum food for human consumption.”

Starchless means the vegetables that are not complex carbs that need to be cooked. Arnold Ehret was an expert on fasting and diet. Wikpedia has some interedsting things about him. I read his book many years ago. For decades after his book most writers about health would refer to mucusless foods.

He experimented with his diet by cutting himself. On a diet with lots of meat and bread, his cuts would hurt a lot and take a long time to heal. With a better diet without meat but some starch vegetables, he had some pain and a shorter healing time. With the mucusless diet, the pain was minimal and the cuts healed extremely fast. The reason that he got into this was because he was dying and the doctors could not help him. He created a fasting center where he healed many people.
