What are mucuslean and a transition diet?

A mucuslean diet is when you are not following the Mucusless Diet Healing System completely. It gives the body an opportunity to become mucusless without the shock of going too fast. It is a way to stay with or return to a Mucusless life. Ehret said "you may slip back, don't worry and continue to strive for better health". A transition diet is when you are eating more and more mucuslean and less and less "'poison" as you are transitioning into a complete mucusless diet. It can take a transition diet a long time and much dedication to rid the body of accumulated waste and mucus. Please remember that Ehret is not just about food but also about a way of fasting, exercising, eating, and living.

Where is Teresa Mitchell?

We have no information on her although we believe she has passed. She came to the United States shortly after World War I. She was born in Hungary. She was a contemporary of Fred Hirsch, Ehret's associate. In my many meetings with Fred I never asked him about Theresa, something I regret.

ABOUT EHRET FAQ

Where and when was Ehret born?

Ehret was born in a suburb of Freiburg, Germany on July 29, 1866. We have his original birth certificate.

How and where did Ehret die?

He died leaving his lecture on the Mucusless Diet Healing System in Los Angeles, California about 11 PM on October 10, 1922 although his death certificate says October 11th . He was 56 years old. According to Fred Hirsch, his associate who was with Ehret when he died, Ehret was in excellent health. He died by slipping and falling backward causing a basal fracture which caused instant death. The night was dark, misty and the smooth curb was damp. He could have been distracted talking to a woman who had attended the lecture. Fred did not know the woman. Fred Hirsch is listed on Ehret's death certificate as informant. Fred died in 1979.

Did Ehret write an autobiography as some claim?

According to Fred Hirsch, Ehret did not write or dictate an autobiography. A fact that causes doubt that a supposed book is an autobiography is that Ehret was a writer. Why would he need a "ghost" to write for him? Fred did not have any knowledge of Ehret every dictating a book on his life to anyone. It appears that the book is fiction.

I am not sure about Ehret's fasting program?

If you have little experience with fasting you need to start slowly, perhaps one or at most a two day fasts until you know how your body responds. You also need to determine what you will use with your fast - plain water, water with lemon and/or honey, a few grapes or something else. Let your body tell you how it is responding. Often it is a quick diagnosis procedure with two to three fasts a month for a month or two. However. it could take a little longer. The number of fasts per month depends on you and how you feel. As your body become comfortable and you start to feel invigorated you can increase the fasting days or frequency, but don't go too fast. You will probably see some mucus in your bowel movements, a good sign.

Was Jesus mentioned in Ehret's writings?

Not to our knowledge. We have had most of Ehret's material read to us in an abbreviated fashion and we found no reference to Jesus. We do have a document hand written by Ehret, born Catholic, called "Religion" that has not been translated. We also have a copy of two pages of a letter Ehret sent to the Pope about the dietary requirements of the church when he left the church. Translations, a massive effort, are on hold until we find a person who is familiar with Ehret, can translate "Old German" written with a scratch pen.

What happened to Ehret's belongings when he died?

We have all of Ehret's personal documents (including his birth certificate), his library, his pictures and the like. We received them from Alvin Last who was predident of The Ehret Health Club until November 2011. He received them from Fred Hirsch. Ehret cured Fred; they became friends and worked together. Fred was with Ehret when he died from a fall when leaving a lecture.
