 Arnold Ehret
received his degrees at 21 and taught college until drafted for
military service. Released after nine months because of "neurasthenic
heart trouble," Ehret resumed his teaching career at 31 despite
chronic ill health, suffering from kidney trouble with consumptive
tendency.
Under the care of 24 different physicians at one time or another,
Ehret finally turned to natural methods, vegetarianism and mental
healing, but still without completely satisfactory results. A sojourn
in Nice, living on a radical milk-and-fruit diet proved helpful
but only partially beneficial.
The following winter,
Ehret traveled to Algiers, living almost exclusively on the plentiful
native fruits. His condition rapidly improved and he was emboldened
to try short fasts, hopefully desiring to assist Nature in the cleansing
properties of fruit and climate. Success crowned his efforts, for
not only did he regain good health, but also unbelievable energy,
strength, and joy of living. He and a companion undertook an 800-mile
bicycle trip from Algiers to Tunis -- returning completely exhilarated
by their feat!
Through years of continuous
experimentation on himself and others; studying diets in Central
and Southern Europe and the Middle East, Ehret successfully developed
his MUCUSLESS DIET HEALING SYSTEM. Thousands of patients were taught
these methods of regaining health in what he called his "Fruit
Fasting" Sanitarium in Switzerland.
Coming to the United
States just before World War I (which conflict later necessitated
his remaining there), Professor Ehret embarked upon an immensely
popular lecture tour.
Who was Arnold Ehret?
was written by Fred Hirsch an associate and student of Professor
Ehret. Fred graduated from Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System
class of 1922.
At fifty-six, while
enjoying a superior state of health known to only a few people,
he met an unfortunate accident; suffering a basal fracture of the
skull which caused almost instant death. After Ehret died in 1922,
Fred Hirsch continued Ehret's life work. Fred maintained the club
and published Ehret's books.
Today this legacy lives on through the members of the Arnold Ehret
Health Club and Ehret Literature Publishing Company.
This article was written
by Fred Hirsch, an associate and student of Professor Ehret who
after Professor Ehret's untimely death, took over as the head of
the Health Club as well as publisher of his books. Fred Hirsch graduated
from Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System of 1922 and went on to
live a shining example of Ehretism. Fred tells us about Professor
Ehret's early days and his personal experiences in learning these
lessons for himself.
Professor Arnold Ehret
founded The Club at the turn of the century. Today the goal of The
Club is to assist people in their quest for better health through
Professor Ehret's teachings. The Club is where Ehretists and people
interested in their health can work with other similarly motivated
people to gain that edge. You are all welcomed to be a part of this
exciting club that was designed by Ehret to unlock the healthfulness
in all of us.
