Book Reviews of Mucusless Diet Healing System
Book Review: Disease, aging, and death are reversible chemical processes
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Fasting is for Cleansing, Not for Everyday Life
Summary: 1 Stars
What this book preaches is starvation, pure and simple. This is a very old book, wherein the author makes many unsubstantiated glowing statements, and unfortunately many people, including myself, were drawn into the craze of attempting to find the "superior health" that Ehret promised, only to be left with broken health because of having done so. My first introduction to the book came about 1963, although I did not really try to live Ehret's recommendations fully until about 1966. Being young and gullible I took everything Professor Ehret said as absolutely true. This was a big mistake. I believe this book came very close to killing me, as I am already prone to low-blood sugar, without starving myself.
This book and other fanatical ideas about eating were responsible for giving health consiousness a bad name when I was young, and I am concerned that even today there are those attempting to live the tenets of this book, who do their bodies a great harm, as well as ruin any chances of a normal social life.
Put another way, Ehret's book may do some good if the reader is not fanatical about it, and does not adhere to its tenets of near starvation for too long. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with occasional fasting, if properly researched and supervised, but fasting is for cleansing, not for everyday life.
Book Review: Saved My Life! Best Book I've EVER Read on Fasting & Diet!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Book Review: Mucusless Diet
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is fantastic BUT it doesn't have an all encompassing list of mucus causing foods and the internet doesn't help because you get both sides for every food there is. One says it's mucus causing and another says no although thru some research I've found a more encompassing list on the internet of alkaline and acid foods which seems to apply to mucus forming or non-mucus forming foods. In some of the recipes it gives you some food choices and then says etc...like you're supposed to know what the rest of the vegetables are you can substitute. I've eliminated dairy from my diet for about a month and have not had to take any allergy meds (which I took EVERYDAY my whole life) but I still have much mucus. It's aggrevating there's nobody to talk to about this diet or to share experiences with. If you'd like to talk email me: (...)Book Review: very simple
Summary: 5 Stars
I was introduced to Ehret's books as a teenager by a vegan friend and his family. I grew up a mixed eater and suffered a chronic cold and other health inconveniences. After a year of following his teachings I was a normal kid again with no health inconveniences whatsoever.
It's unfortunate the flowery style he used to write his masterpieces. He says quite plainly that everyone's experience will be different, but doesn't go deep enough into the properties of foods except to say that vegetables are less dissolving that fruits. To that end I would recommend Jethro Kloss' Back To Eden, a treatise devoted to the properties of foods and herbs.
Anyway, Arnold Ehret's Mucousless Diet Healing System and Rational Fasting should be mandatory reading for anyone truly concerned about what health is.
