After this severe critique of all important dietetics, I must admit that I do not deny that all of them have, and have done, considerable good towards the development of the dietetic solution of the food problem and healing of diseases by diet.
Reviewing the entire development during the past 25 years, this fact remains: With the progress of chemistry, medical experts arrived at the following conclusion, "We now know exactly all of the elements contained in the human body, and therefore know what must be eaten for upbuilding—for replacement of used-up cells and for producing vitality, efficiency, strength, and heat."
You were taught in former lessons why these "conclusions" are wrong, and have produced the "protein" fad and later the "mineral salt" fad, and now the very latest fashion, i.e., the "raw food" fad. Without knowledge of the "great unknown," their conclusions must be wrong. This great "unknown"—unknown to the chemical and medical experts—unknown to the average person and health-seeker—unknown to the layperson dietitian—unknown to the general dietetic systems now in vogue—and this "great unknown," "O" in my formula "V" equals "P" minus "O"—the waste, the mucus—acids and poisons, the
OBSTRUCTIONS or "O"
in the sick, and also in the average so-called "healthy human body.
In other words: If human nourishment could ever be figured by mathematical and chemical formulas telling exactly what to eat, you will still be fooled by nature—just so long as any ideal food is mixed with, and put into, this waste of mucus and acids already in the human system through years of wrong living. Nature confuses you —so long as you fail to recognize her facts and her truths—but nature herself is not fooled. To the average layperson, raw food reacts more or less mysteriously—as long as it is mixed with your own mucus—as long as it stirs up mucus and its toxemias in the unclean diseased body and eliminates these poisons. All laymen and experts covering the entire dietetic movement up to the present time are puzzled, confused, ignorant, and still in complete darkness of the fact that, in general, the average person first becomes worse , sometimes developing boils and all kinds of sores—when they start what they believe to be a correct and best diet—living on a radical fruit, mucusless, or raw-food diet. 65
"Tell me what to eat," wail the sick, "I want a daily menu for my special disease" (like a drug prescription), and they then consider that as all sufficient. When the elimination sets in, they say, "These foods don’t agree with me," instead of recognizing that the transition diet has already started in a moderate way to dissolve and to eliminate the old waste in the body—with some disturbance, of course. You must make them realize the necessity of putting up with this temporary inconvenience, and consider themselves fortunate indeed to be able to continue with their daily work instead of undergoing an operation, which would mean months in a hospital. The foods agree with them, but they do not agree with the foods.
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 dietetic changes and dietetic improvements—a system of dietetic 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 humans—FRUITS ONLY—or fruits and green-leaf vegetables—THE MUCUSLESS DIET.
It is therefore a personally supervised, and in every case different, modified, scientific, systematical, progressive method of "eating your way to health," combined, if found necessary, with short or longer fasts.
It is a healing process which every sick person must undergo if they want to be perfectly healed; it is an exclusive dietetic "curing and healing, rebuilding and regenerating process" based on the use of harmless and natural food for humankind, "coined" and set biologically by the Creator in Genesis —"FRUITS AND HERBS," OR "MUCUSLESS DIET." Nature will do her part if we but give her half a chance. Try it out for yourself and watch for the results.
