3 years of transition diet

In these days of August 2010 about 3 years are spent since my encounter with the Mucusless Diet Healing System of the Professor Arnold Ehret. Durind these years I have applied more or less diligently the transition diet toward the building of a body less engrossed with mucus, waste and toxin deposits. The energy that I have got in return is much more than I will be waiting.
The last year I adopted only fruit diet during the lunch (no more breakfast or sometimes a glass of some juice), and raw vegetable and little cooked vegetable during the evening. I strive to eliminate completely cooked vegetables and beans.
I noticed that when elimination accelerate thanks to a good physical exercise (mainly cycling or sometimes swimming) and more fruit in the diet, I crave for 'wrong food' (as Ehret says at pag.116) once my favorite like cheese, black bread, potatoes, biscuits and chocolate. Too often in the last months during my dinner, after my tomatoes salad I give up my will and eat these much desired mucus leading food. This path is not easy, but a very good battleground for developing my will... so, keep on, is the rule, never give up!
A very good habit I have established since 1 and a half year are the daily aenemas (thanks to a suggestion of the "Cincinnati Guys"). These morning aenemas help me to quickly free the last part of my intestine, feeling great sensation of freedom and lightness at the highest levels that last all day long. Such cleaning often leads me to implement an all day fast without much effort.
I keep on trying to resist every day the battle of goods against the bad habits...but at the end I think time is come to eat only fruit.
This 3 year August anniversary has to be a good month to start the last challenge.

Washing intestine

Following a very interesting writing, extract from the beautiful ebook Life Style Without Food, about what to do during a fast, the detailed instruction on how to cleaning the intestine through enema, erbal laxative and various juices. I think that this person is very wise on that matter and a very advanced spiritual beeing. A must to read for a people who want and healthy and happy life.

Enema, about which many scientific papers and books were written, about
which many people think with disgust, and they've never made it, is very
beneficial for the human body. I wont tell everything about this topic here,
but if I was to summarize it in just one short sentence, I would say: The
deeper and the oftener (within the limits of the reason, of course), the
better.
The large intestine is the place, from which different substances are being
absorbed into the body, including all toxins oozed by putrefying mixtures.
Everything is directly absorbed by the blood and then circulates through the
whole body.
The internal side of the large intestine is covered with villi, thanks to which
the absorbing process can run smoothly enough. During the passing years of
life mucus-and-gum like substance precipitate on the villi. Other substances
of difficult to assay composition stick to it. Gradually something looking
like gum-insulation is being formed, which makes the proper absorbing of
the nutrients into the blood difficult or impossible.
Besides, this layer is a friendly environment for many bad bacteria, fungus,
mold and other parasites. Proliferating colonies of these parasites and their
excrements damage the bacterial flora (necessary for the intestine proper
work), poison the blood and, as a result, the whole body. This is how
originate a favorable basis for many illnesses of which suffer more and
more representatives of the terrestrial civilization, and which grows like an
epidemic (e.g. cancer, allergy, diabetes).
The doctors applying hydrocolonotherapy say that a matter can be washed
out from the large intestine, which is a residue from what the person ate
years ago. This happens because the layer of mucus and fecalith grows
thicker with the course of time, if the diet is not right. This layer constrict
the diameter of the large intestine and gradually makes it impossible for the
body to absorb anything except products of the putrefying matter.
Then the liver becomes intoxicated so much that it is unable to neutralize
all of toxins. Such a person is under the influence of poisons all the time.
This can be clearly seen on the face and the whole skin. Illnesses happening
often, feeling of tiredness, headaches, faster aging of the skin, dim or even
yellow eyes are all symptoms clearly indicating poisoned body, with the
origin coming from the large intestine.

Cleaning the internal side of the intestine brings back its proper functions,
which in turn makes the body healthy.
When one stops eating the intestine first slows down and then stops
working. Remains of the digested food remain in the intestine, it also is the
case with the mucus-and-gum like substance on the side and the fecalith.
New matter does not flow into the intestine, so the old one is not moved
out. The matter remaining in the large intestine changes into hard lumps,
which presence in there isn't beneficial for the body, for sure. It may be a
nest of parasites.
The remaining matter and the mucus gluing the villi in the large intestine
can be washed out with water — a simple and efficient method. This in
many cases brings back health or even saves the life of a person (whose
body had toxins, tumor, parasites). That's why flushing the intestine with
water may be so important. For sure it can be said, enema is life saving. In
case of many illnesses deep, well done washing of the large intestine is
enough to remove the cause of the illness and heal the person.
I use to frankly tell people (especially those who consider enema to be a
disgusting thing) this truth: You have the choice, because you can, you do
not have to, wash the intestine. However, if you wash out its contents, you
throw out rot from your body. If you leave it in there, you are putrefying
from the inside.
From the day that you stop eating, wash the large intestine at least once a
week. Every person decides for him/herself about the frequency of the
enemas, which suits him/her. A good procedure is to rinse the intestine once
a day in the first week of fasting, once in two days in the second week, and
twice a week later.
The intestine is washed with water until it is completely clean inside. This
may take from a week to a few months, depending on the skill of the
particular person. Especially the gum-like mucus needs a lot of work
because it tears slowly and resistantly. Usually many rinses are needed in
order to fully clean the internal side of the large intestine.
Of course, efficiency of the intestine purification mostly depends on the
skill of the particular person. Complete purity of the intestine, from the anus
until the point where the large intestine connects with the appendix, needs
exercising and enemas repeated many times.

People constructed apparatuses which helps to wash the whole large
intestine. There are efficient and usable ones among them. However if you
want to be independent from any apparatuses, you can learn to do ordinary
enemas.
Doing frequent washing of the intestine will work out the best method for
you. You can modify and apply in any way that suits you the advices
written here.
At the beginning you can imagine that the large intestine is a pleated and
very curved tube, like the one of a vacuum cleaner, and has the form of the
U letter put upside-down. So ask yourself: What should I do to wash out the
contents of this tube? What to do with the water and the body? What kind
of movements and positions of the body to do in order to wash out, with
water, the whole tube from the beginning to the end?
The large intestine is washed with water at the temperature from about
15oC to 45oC, although some specialists advice even hotter. Try first hot and
then cold enema in one sitting, do it alternatively. The water is poured in
from a few to more than a dozen times. Pour in as much water as you can
hold, but do not exaggerate. The slower you pour in the water, with breaks,
the more can hold inside. More water poured in washes better and deeper.
Of course, do not exaggerate because the intestine is not a balloon. From a
half to two liters of water can go in (some people can hold more) in one
enema.
When the water is inside, do some movements. When you keep in mind that
the large intestine is like a U-tube put upside-down, you can easily work
out helpful positions and movements. For example, you can pull the belly in
and out, shake it to the sides or down and up, massage it. You can also rise
your heels and immediately let them down hitting the floor (shaking the
belly).
After the time from a few seconds to a few minutes of these movements and
positions, push all the contents out. Your imagination can help also in case
of this activity. For example, in order to pull out all the water from the
ascending part of the intestine (on the right), you can put the feet on the
wall and then rise the belly up, even up to the vertical position. In this
position pull the belly in and out a few times. Then turn on the left site and
move the feet down. From this lying position (on the left), at the same time
rise the buttocks and pull in the belly, but keep the head down. Then squat
and throw out the intestine contents as much as possible.

Repeat theprocedure as many times as needed, so that all the water will flow out (2 to
5 times). Then you can, again, pour in water and repeat it all.
To master the described method of intestine flushing, one needs to exercise.
This is an efficient method for cleaning the intestine's sides, removing the
fecalith and bringing back the right functions of the intestine.
Some people wash the intestine with urine, herbal infusions, coffee, water
with lemon juice or other liquids. This may be a good idea in some cases,
especially when you want to give the body a painkiller (caffeine), a
medicine (herbs), a substance softening the gum-like mucus. In the past a
soap solution was used, but this is not a good idea as it irritates the intestine
and poisons the body. According the the principle, that the simplest
solutions are the most efficient ones, most often the ordinary water is
enough.
If you intend to make a dry fast, first carefully wash the intestine. Start the
washing at least a week before you stop drinking — this period is a fast on
water only. Before you stop drinking, the large intestine must be clean
inside. Thanks to this it is much easier to live without water, because the
body needs it much less, comparing with the time when the body is
removing toxins (which entered the body from the intestine).

On the second or third day of fasting you may want to cause diarrhea. For
this purpose one eats herbal or non-toxic chemical laxative. One of them is
magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts, about 25 grams). Also 100% pear juice
(about 1 liter bought in a store or produced by yourself) works well.
It is worth to remember that many people have abdominal pain after
drinking large amount of a pear juice. This can be quite painful, depends on
how long the person has been fasting before drinking the juice and what is
remaining in the intestine. After drinking the juice, strong spasms and
peristaltic movements occur in the intestine. If the intestine was not clogged
too much, the diarrhea will come within several minutes.
You can warm up about one liter of pear juice. Then drink it all within or
less than five minutes, but not too fast so that you do not cause vomiting.
Pear juice used in this way is effective for a few hours. This may be
unpleasant, the person may feel bad all the time (could be most of
afternoon) because of abdominal pain, headache, “hits of energy”, etc,
depending how sensitive he or she is. Pear juice works quite suddenly,
therefore one to three days before using it, you better wash the intestine
with water (so that it is not clogged because if it is, the pain and the spasms
are stronger).
Of course, this does not happen in such a way in case of every person. There
are people who, with full intestine, if they drink one liter of pear juice, feel
not more than just a little rumble in the belly (which indicates that the
intestine is so large). There are also people who have nausea and feel very
strong pain having drunk only two glasses of the juice — this method is not
for them.
I have described this method for those who would like to try it and
experience, how it works in their case. If you are not sure, how it will work
on you, you may start from just one glass of the juice and see, what will
happen. In the next try you may increase the juice amount if one glass
works too week.

There are other methods for cleaning the intestine, not only the large one,
also the small one. Simultaneously the whole digestive track and the gall
bladder are cleaned. The most known and efficient method origins from
yoga. Describing it very briefly, this is how.
Make about 1% solution of salt in warm water. Drink one glass of it and
make proper exercises, which push the solution until the anus. Then you
drink a second glass and repeat the exercises. You repeat this procedure
until the solution begin to flow from the anus. First it looks like a diarrhea,
then brown water and at the end it will be clear. Then, to finish, you drink
two glasses of clean water only.
This works better if it is done not earlier than in the third day of fasting. In
case of most people this works well even if the proper exercises are not
done. Instead of the exercises you can make some abdomen movements and
pressing. Think that you are moving the solution from the stomach, through
the intestines, until the anus.

The purpose of eating

Following I report a beautiful thought according to the Mucusless Diet Healing System of Arnold Ehret by a post of doc. Spira an american fruitarian in the Arnold Ehret's italian forum.

"Ehret proposes that the body is an air-gas engine that runs off of oxygen. Consequently, we are all breathaireans irregardless of what we consume. Given this, what is the purpose of eating? For most of us, if we were to stop eating for too long we would die. But would we die from malnutrition or would we essentially drown in our own waste/mucus? If one person can fast for a month without experiencing mucus elimination then we must consider what is going on physiologically. It would stand to reason that the cleaner and less obstructed the body is, the longer a person can 'productively' fast. Here, I use ‘productively’ to refer to a fast where the body is becoming cleaner with every breath. When someone is not using a rational methodology to fast, or is too obstructed, the he or she may be in danger of drowning in their own dross. Why? Because when the intake of food stops the body begins to loosen and throw off waste. If there is too much waste loosened up blood cannot receive sufficient oxygen. On the other hand, if there is not waste to be thrown off there is no longer a need to eat. Consequently, it would stand to reason that we eat only for the purpose of eliminating waste and not to accumulate or replenish proteins and vitamins.
I understand how hard it is for people in our condition to understand this without having lived it. We are in such a morbid situation it is hard for us to fathom going a year without food, much less existing without food all together. I myself did not truly realize that I was an air-gas engine until I witnessed a man effortlessly fast for 9 1/2 months. There was still doubt until I investigated myself by fasting for six months. As always, I am not saying that people need to be trying to achieve these kinds of fasts now. I would much rather hear about people being consistent with their transitions and enemas. At this point striving to become mucusless for a decade or two is more rational than trying to fast or do a strict fruit diet with a body that is not clean enough to endure it. So many people try to skip over the transition only to encounter terrible falls that scare them away from Ehret forever. It is important to try and use logical thinking to trace your way back to Breathaireanism. If you can fast for a day then it is possible to fast for a week, then a year, and so on. But this level of fasting will come naturally as the body gets cleaner and cleaner.
It is important to understand our physiological hierarchy to put the transition into perspective. Theoretically, the order of an ideal physiological hierarchy would be as follows: the cleanest body can comfortably exist on air alone for long periods of time. If you can exist on air for long periods of time then you should have been able to exist on fruit juice and air comfortably for long periods. If you can exist on fruit juice and air then you should have been able to exist on raw fruit comfortably for extended periods. If you can tolerate raw fruits then you should have been able to exist comfortably on raw mucusless fruits and green-leaf vegetables. If you can do this then you should have been able to exist on a combination of cooked and raw starchless fruits and vegetables. If you can eat cooked and raw starchless vegetables then you have probably come from a mucus-forming diet that includes any number of the following: rice, nuts, grains, legumes, starches, dairy, and meats. Think about the length of the transition technically. One week of eating 100% mucusless should turn into one month, then one year, etc. Fasting one day a week can evolve to fasting every other month to every other year. Breathaireanism is the logical conclusion of Ehret’s proposition, however the time that it will take to transition is undetermined. Ultimately, it will take decades of being mucus-free to become clean enough to stop eating."
