What Others Are Saying about the Writings of Professor Spira

"I am amazed at your story. You really give hope to us all!"
-Kim Raylee (Ehret Club Member)

"First, I must say, thanks for the internet! It is a very nice, comforting feeling to be
able to communicate with someone who has been successful with this diet, able to
keep it simple, and answer questions. Thank you!"
-Tim Wader (Ehret Club Member)

"You truly are amazing. You have done nothing but given all you can to help me
and I truly appreciate this. Thank you for feeding me."
-Samantha Claire (Pianist and Educator)

"I'm definitely impressed. As simple as you kept much of the language in the text,
the writings resonate (with me) on a much deeper level. The reading forced me to
reassess my personal perspective on the subject, and served to challenge all that I
previously held to be true. I have much (more) work to do! Thanks again!"
-Danny Michael (Natural Health Consultant and Dietary Scientist)

"GREAT work! This actually answered a lot of my questions on various things. I
think that it's a great source of material to reference for aspiring Ehretists
everywhere. A lot of the stories and such are great accounts that people can learn
from."
-Thomas Shaw (Mucusless Diet Practitioner and Raw-foods Advocate)
"A very good habit I have established for the past 4 years is the daily distilled
water and lemon juice enemas (thanks to a suggestion of Spira and the "Cincinnati
Guys"). These morning enemas help me to quickly free the last part of my
intestine, feeling a great sensation of freedom and lightness at the highest levels
that last all day long. It is a good habit like brushing my teeth! And it works great
for me!"
-Aldo Bassi (Arnold Ehret Italia Member)

"I enjoyed reading your article, Prof. Spira. You cover some key points regarding
cleansing the body. I’m currently rereading the Mucusless Diet and also just started
reading Rational Fasting. Listening to your videos has intrigued my interest in
Ehret’s teachings. I’ve been doing a high-fruit diet for several years now, but see
that I’m also eating some mucus-forming foods such as spelt and starchy veg's. I
guess I’m in that slow transition mode and I do instinctively realize it’s the best for
me, as I have not been good to my temple for most of my life. I feel blessed to
have come across this information at such a fairly young age and I thank you for
your contribution."
-Angel (Raw foodist and practicing fruitarian)

"Your personal rediscovery of your radiant, intended self is amazing! Living
examples, that's what people like you are, timeless individuals who live natural
truth and telebeam it to others. . . .Your book really "speaks" to the amazing
personal journey that you've undergone as well as your quest to influence others,
educate, restructure the domain of jazz performance, and guide and lead other
prospective Ehretists or those seeking greater health more generally. As long as I
have known you, I have felt it crucial that you document your insights. The result
is intimate, generous, and articulate. I enjoyed the balance of theory/research,
poetry and conversation, and the power this kind of assortment has to appeal to
different kinds of learners. It was really interesting to read through your coaching,
guidance, motivations, and relationship-building processes throughout your
conversations—really didactic and timely, illustrating the struggles that people
face—economic, familial, opposition from society, personal, emotive, and coping
strategies. I have to say also that reading through this really helped me to
understand your perspectives a lot better and piece things together that were a little
more scattered in my mind, beforehand. It's simply extraordinary and has
influenced me in ways I didn't expect and has shaped my own health trajectory."
-Cy (Living-foods advocate and future nurse)

"Thank you for the excellent work! As someone who has struggled with the yo-yo
approach to mucus-free foods, this was an eye-opening post. I appreciate it."
-Kenny William (Health Seeker)

"The people just finding out about the Mucusless Diet Healing System NEED
this—people like me . . . even after years on a raw transition we need to know it’s
OK to transition any way that we can. If you knew how much suffering, physically
and emotionally, not only from my own mind, but from the well-meaning raw
foodists—you need to be pristine in your diet" one of the (popular people) told me
as I was on my way to the ER with a pseudo-blockage. All I hear is raw—raw—
raw—and I thought I was cured, and I was just getting started. Your book is
already helping me in ways that I cannot express. I’m typing through tears. When I
tried to eat cooked vegan before, the paralysis got worse—it was because it was
not mucusless."

-Wendy Campbell (Detoxification Specialist and Raw-Foods Advocate)
