Book Reviews of Rational Fasting (Ehret's Health Literature)
Book Review: Good value for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
At a time when I was trying to acquire everything I could about fasting, I was excited to get Arnold Ehret's "Rational Fasting". He says that over-eating and the consumption of high mucus producing foods are the true fundamental causes of all diseases, and that the natural remedy is fasting and a fruit diet. He has many worthwhile ideas on fasting, eating and nutrition. He was right on the money when he wrote in 1910/1912 that "the waste products of meat, fatty plaque-shaped particles, are deposited on the walls of the blood vessels where in time they form a thick lining, calcify and thus contribute to the hardening of the arteries. This hardening of the arteries, in many cases resulting in high blood pressure, is the chief cause of heart attacks and diseases of senility" (p.92). However, he thinks his mucus theory of disease is superior to the theory that bacilli invade the body from the outside. He thinks bacilli attack white corpuscles in the blood, instead of the other way around. For him, all disease is cause my mucus, an idea that not many of us would agree with today. He was ahead of his time when he wrote "Man is the sickest animal on earth in that no other animal has violated the laws of eating as much as man and no other animal eats as wrongly as man" (p. 77). The actual text of "Rational Fasting" is 93 pages. Pages 95-175 are 7 additional articles by Ehret. Worthwhile, though some ideas are dated. I'm glad I purchased it.
