A Message to Ehretists Dear Friends, After careful and intelligent study of the forgoing lessons, you now know that disease consists of an unknown, decayed and fermented mass of matter in the human body, decades old - especially in the intestines and colon. You likewise know how unwise and ignorant it is to think that knowing what to eat is, alone, a complete diet of healing.   None of the recognized authorities know the tremendous importance of a thorough and deep cleansing of the human "cesspool." All are more or less "fooled" by Nature when they advise eating of fruits, with stomach and intestines clogged up by mucus and decomposed protein foods, eaten from childhood on.   You have been taught the result: should these poisons -cyanide of potassium - be dissolved too rapidly and permitted to enter the circulation, severe sensations - even death may occur, and man's natural food, oranges, grapes, dates, etc. are blamed!   My teachings clearly prove that this hitherto unexplained ignorance regarding fruit diet is the "stumbling block" for all other food research experts, who have made personal experimental tests. Thousands of times have I heard the same cry - even from young and supposedly healthy persons - "I became weak!" And all experts with the exception of myself say,"Yes, you require more protein; at least eat nuts."   During my personal tests, involving this same problem, I tried to overcome this "stumbling block" hundreds of times. After a two year cure, in Italy, of Bright's disease with consumptive tendency, by fasting and strict living on a mucusless diet, I ate two pounds of the sweetest grapes and drank a half a gallon of sweet grape juice, made from the best and most wonderful grapes grown there. Almost immediately I felt as though I was going to die! A terrible sensation overcame me, palpitation of the heart, extreme dizziness which forced me to lie down, and I was seized with severe pains in the stomach and intestines. After ten minutes the great even occurred - a mucus foaming diarrhea and vomiting of grape juice mixed with acid smelling mucus, and then the greatest event of all! I felt so wonderfully well and strong that I at once performed the knee-bending and arm-stretching exercises 326 times consecutively. All obstructions had been removed!   For the first time in history I have shown what man was when he lived without "fired" foods - during the prehistoric times (called Paradise) eating fruits, the "bread of heaven."   For the first time in human history this "demon" in the tragedy of human life has been shown - and how he can and must be eliminated - before man can ascend to a Paradisaical health, happiness, immunity from disease and "Godlike" being.   If the Garden of Eden - heaven on earth - ever existed it must have been a "fruit orchard." Fro thousands of years, through a wrong civilization, man has been tricked into unconscious suicide, reduced to slavery, to produce wrong food, "earning his bread by the sweat of his brow." Unnatural foods cause sickness and death.   "Peace on Earth" happiness and righteousness as yet remain a foolish dream. During thousands of years, God, Paradise, Heaven-Sin, Devil, Hell - seldom found an interpretation that a clear, reasoning mind would willingly accept. The average unfortunate fellowman thinks of God as a good and forgiving Father who will allow him to enter Paradise in another world - unpunished for violations of His laws in Nature.   I have proven for the first time in history that the diet of Paradise is not only possible - good enough for a degenerate mankind, such as we now are - but that it is the Unconditional Necessity and the first step to real salvation and redemption from the misery of life. That it is a needed key to the lost paradise where disease, worry and sorrow - hate, fight and murder were unknown, and where there was no death, from unnatural causes at least.   "Man is what he eats: is a philosopher's greatest and trueest statement.   You must now see why civilization, all religions, all philosophy, with their tremendous sacrifice of work, time, money, energy, is and has been part guesswork. The magic formula for "Heaven on Earth" - of the Paradise - must read like this:   "Eat your way into Paradise physically." But you cannot pass the gate, watched over by the angel with the flaming sword, until you have gone through the purgatory (cleansing fire) of fasting and diet of healing - a cleansing, a physiological purifying, by the "Flame of Life" in your own body! During thousands of years no one has escaped the struggle of death caused by an unnatural life, and you will have to face it some day.   But you, I and others who have learned this greatest and most important truth of life, are the only ones in existence today who are in fact, and not in mind only, out of the road of darkness and unconscious suicide, and into the light of the new civilization - the light of physical regeneration - as the Foundation of Mental and Spiritual Revelation-like Progress to the light of a superior, that is to say, a spiritual world.   This will give an outline of the serious nature of my work - and the necessity for your help in carrying it through as the greatest deed you can perform - upon which depends not only your future destiny, but that of a suffering, unhappy mankind - on the verge of a physical and mental collapse. Arnold Ehret     The Transition Diet of Prof. Arnold Ehret who taught that 99.99% of all health problems are due to Diet                            Professor Arnold Ehret:   "They claim all cooking destroys food values, but it should properly be said: "Wrong cooking destroys healing value qualities (efficiency) of foods, and can even cause them to become acid-forming." The "raw food" experts, hint on the same wrong stress, as all others, i.e., higher food value. . . .   Now you may understand why the "Mucusless Diet" is a system in which every change in diet has certain duties to perform -- as a diet of healing to be applied systematically according to the condition of the sick.   You will now understand why and in what manner I differ from all others. The "Mucusless Diet Healing System" is not a collection of different menus for every disease; it is not "made-up" combinations of valuable and nourishing foods -- it is not like a medical prescription or a compilation of standard diets suitable for all diseases, but it is a system of dietetical changes and dietetical improvements -- a system of dietetical elimination of disease matter, waste, mucus and poisons; a system of slowly changing and improving the diet as a diet of healing towards -- and up to -- the ideal and natural food of man - FRUITS ONLY -- or fruits and green-leaf vegetables -- THE MUCUSLESS DIET."                      Now nearly one century later the findings of Prof. Arnold Ehret concerning the Mucusless Diet Healing System have been rediscovered and are now being practically applied to everyday eating and drinking in an individually specific transition diet.                Our bodies and our minds are being obstructed by excess waste due to eating the wrong foods at the wrong time.              A mucuslean and mucusless diet plus short fasts slowly eliminate these obstructing waste products allowing the body to operate with less resistance and friction enabling a life free from unneeded suffering, painful disease and untimely death.              Learn to heal yourself by slowly cleansing your body of obstructing mucus and toxic material. A special appendix in the back of the The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus explains how to do the Healing Transition Diet.
