He interviewed Fred Hirsch and his wife Lucille in order to share Professor Ehret's experiences, teachings and inspirations. Of his best friend, Fred Hirsch had this to say: “Ehret's teachings of his philosophy are basically the love of NATURE itself: love of all outdoors. The love of flowers and trees, the love of all of the birds and animals. Ehret loved both the sunshine and the rain, – the cold and the warmth, the bright days and the cloudy days. And he sincerely taught that we must feel justly proud of our own physical bodies, CLEAN both internally and externally.”

In our desire to make Prof. Ehret's teachings more relevant to today's environment, I am happy and delighted to announce that Dr. David L. Duffy, MD with an active practice in Internal Medicine and Ambulatory Medicine will be writing articles for this Ehret Website. He will also write separate articles for each issue of the Club Newsletter. Club Newsletter articles will not be available on the Website. These articles will, among other things explore how Ehret and modern medicine relate to and compliment each other. There will be new articles about every eight weeks. Look for Dr. Duffy's latest on line articles.

Learn about Dr. Duffy and his Philosophy of Self‑Reliant Medicine. It is his philosophy that we are responsible for our own health. It is similar to Ehret's concepts about personal responsibility but targeted to be relevant to the present and how to implement Ehret's concept. Like Ehret. Dr. Duffy looks at the whole body and how it relates to our understanding of a way of nutrition, away of personal responsibility, and a way of life.

I am indebted to Arnold Ehret for revealing this powerful tool for healing. Does Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System cure cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and psoriasis? Is it a miracle cure for everything? I am sure that when applied correctly it can help everyone. However, it does not guarantee a miraculous cure. Ultimately we must look to God for healing. Arnold Ehret is a health pioneer who has pointed us in the right direction.

David L. Duffy, MD gives 5 ideas how Ehret might view supplementary vitamins and antioxidants. He also mentions certain lifestyles or conditions where they would be benificial. Overeating processed foods artificially creates a vitamin deficiency. Vitamin depleted, overprocessed foods are mucus producing and add to the accumulation of waste in the body.

David L. Duffy, MD sayes that the body is a living organism with a capacity to think, move, and feel. A person in normal health is able to function with occasional symptoms.

He asks the questions...How do we know when we have reached our ideal metabolism? How much dietary protein will we need? How much sleep? How much will we weigh?

He answers these and similar questions.We each must find our personal equation of diet exercise, faith and works.

In addition to the Mucusless diet, Arnold Ehret recommends physical activity to stimulate the circulation and loosen the "foreign matter" which has accumulated in the various tissues.

When a person is fasting and experiences the symptoms of elimination such as fatigue, he should rest. On good days he should exercise. Walking, dancing, and singing are excellent.

Ehret describes nine exercises to help you. Regaining health requires a cleansing, a physiological purification within one's own body. By following these principles and healing ourselves we may help a suffering, unhappy mankind.

Dr. Henry G. Bieler in his book Food Is Your Best Medicine (Random House, Inc. Feb. 1966, Chapter 10) analyzes the problem of cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and heart disease. He teaches the Role of Cholesterol, Heart and Endocrine Glands and Modern View of Heart Disease. Arnold Ehret and Dr. Henry Bieler lacked the benefit of modern biochemistry so their theories and explanations may seem simplistic and in some cases are incorrect but none the less benificial to all of us.

There are sometimes forgotten foods, which are good sources for many nutrients. Mucus forming foods are not listed. These are nutritional values for raw foods.. Ehret did allow cooking but to keep this within limits cooked nutritional sources will come another time. Also not every good raw source is listed for space reasons. Some things that we do not expect to have nutritional value such as horseradish are listed. Can't eat too much of it.

Also the chart shows things such as water chestnuts, kale and collards that are nutritional and by adding some of these not to common items, we can get more variety. Dandelion is interesting as it can be cooked, eaten as a salad and I am told, makes an excellent tonic wine. To use some of these vegetables, finely cut and dice them when making a salad.

Psoriasis is a skin disease in which new skin grows faster than old skin can be shed. Dr. Duffy teaches that a person with psoriasis has an overload of protein in his system. In the transition diet the patient should reduce the amount of dietary protein and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables. As the cleansing occurs and the psoriasis improves, the need for medication may be reduced. He has given us a frame of reference to analyze chronic illness and directs us in the healing process. It is up to apply these principles and receive the results.

Normal bone consists of deposits of calcium in the protein framework. Cells called "Osteoblasts" lay down the protein framework and promote calcification. Cells called "osteoclasts" have the capacity to break down bone. During life there is a dynamic balance between the breaking down and building up of bones.

Sciatica is a common form of back and leg pain that results from compression of the sciatic nerve, a large nerve that runs from the lower spine behind the hip joint and down the back of each leg.

Atherosclerosis is commonly called hardening of the arteries. It is the underlying cause of heart attacks, strokes, and poor circulation to the legs. This article examines the process whereby atherosclerosis develops and place it in the context of Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System.
