Biographie

Ehret est le fondateur du vitalisme en diététique, et pionnier de l'Ehretisme. Il dit qu'il a découvert que le corps est « un moteur air-gaz » et qu'il ne fonctionne que sur l'oxygène. Et que donc un régime consistant de fruits et de légumes, qu'il nomme régime et nourriture sans mucus, est l'alimentation optimum de l'humain[1]. Ehret pensait, comme Antoine Béchamp, que la santé est déterminée par le Milieu intérieur, donc le terrain[2], un terme utilisé par Louis Pasteur[3]. Il essaya de démontrer qu'une alimentation sans mucus était la clef de la santé ; et écrivit le traité Le système de guérison du régime sans mucus.

Jeunesse

Ehret est né en 1866, à St. Georgen im Schwarzwald, Pays de Bade, prés de Fribourg-en-Brisgau, Allemagne. Ses parents étaient vétérinaires[4] et ses grands-parents étaient médecins[5] - [6].

En 1887, âgé de 21 ans, il devint professeur de dessin[7], et fut appelé au service militaire mais fut déclaré inapte après 9 mois pour problème au cœur[6]. Après des études à Francfort[8], il enseigna dans une école technique pendant 15 ans[9]. À 31 ans, il lui fut détecté la maladie de Bright (une inflammation des reins) par le Dr Gustav Riedlin, une maladie établie comme incurable par 24 des plus grands docteurs en Europe[6]. Il passa du temps dans plusieurs sanatoriums en Europe pour apprendre les méthodes de guérison, incluant aussi le centre de Sebastian Kneipp[6].

Opinions sur la maladie

Ehret dit que certains aliments forment du pus et du mucus et sont la cause des maladies[10], « schleimlose » (sans mucus), les aliments sans mucus sont la clef de la Santé[11] - [12] et « le Jeûne (simplement manger moins) est la méthode de nettoyage du corps de la Nature pour contrecarrer les effets de la mal-bouffe et du trop manger. »[13] - [14] Le terme mucus, un acide glyco-protéique[15], vient du grec « myxa »[16]. En 1812, William Cullen appela mucus, une 'matière butyrique'[17] et en 1877, Gustav Schlickeysen observa une couche de mucus sous la peau humaine, dans Obst Und Brod[18]. Puis nommé 'mucin' par le Dr. Teofilo De La Torre en 1950[19], 'mucus' par Morris Krok en 1960[20], 'matière fécal impactée' par Norman Walker[21] en 1970 [22] 'matière mucoïde' par Robert Gray en 1980[23] - [24], et 'plaque mucoïde' en 1990[25] - [26]. En 2000, Daniel Reid ré-introduit le terme 'mucus'[27]. Gray fit remarquer la distinction entre le bon et mauvais mucus[28], et comment certaines substances laisse résidu que le corps mélange dans son mucus[29], au contraire d'une régime frugivore[30].

Le Jeûne

En 1907, Ehret basé à Fribourg, visita Monte Verità[31], une communauté Nature à Ascona[32] - [33] - [34] - [35] - [36] - [37], près du lac Majeur, aussi visitée par Lenine et Trotsky[38]. Après sa collaboration avec Henri Oedenkoven, propriétaire du sanitarium de Monte Verità[39] - [40], Ehret ouvrit un sanitarium à Ascona, Suisse[41] et un autre sanitarium 'Fruit et Jeûne'[42], vers Lugano (Massagno), s'occupant de milliers de patients considérés incurable[6], ecrivant un de ses livres à Locarno[43]. Vers 1909, Ehret s'engage dans une série de conférences et fut suivi pendant ses jeûnes par les autorités Allemande et Suisse.

En 14 mois, Ehret jeûna 126 jours sans nourriture[44]. Il fit un jeûne de 21 jours, un de 24 jours, un de 32 jours, et un de 49 jours commencé le à Kastan Panoptikum, à Cologne sous surveillance d'un notaire de la famille de la Cour Royal[6] - [45]. En 1909, il jeûna, au total, 105 jours[46]. En 1910, il écrivit un article pour le magazine végétarien sur son jeûne de 49 jours, qui connut l'intérêt du public, et fut publié dans le livre Lebensfragen (Questions de Vie)[46] - [47].

Revendications scientifiques

Dénonçant la théorie du métabolisme de l'albumine azotée en 1909, Ehret prit connaissance de son contemporain, Thomas Powell M.D., en 1912, qui confirmait ses croyances sur « le sucre du raisin » (sucres simples dans les fruits et les légumes) comme la source d'énergie optimale, pour la construction du corps et sa vitalité, au contraire des aliments riches en protéines[48]. Powell expliquait ses recherches dans le livre Fundamentals and Requirements of Health and Disease, publié en 1909[49]. Ehret prétendait que l'alimentation alcaline, et donc sans mucus, est le régime naturel de l'Homme . Ses recherches sur le pH des aliments, furent corrélées par le chimiste, Julius Hensel[50], et le chimiste Suédois, Ragnar Berg[51]. En 1911-1912, Ehret fit des conférences en Allemagne, Suisse et à Monaco, sur ses découvertes[52], ralliant à lui le support du Dr. Katz, le propriétaire d'un centre de santé à Stuttgart[53] qui écrivît un article sur Ehret dans le magazine Lebeskunst en 1911.

Son système sans mucus

Régime Transition

Le système de guérison du régime sans mucus est fait de fruits crus et cuisinés, de légumes et feuilles vertes, pour ré-alcaliniser le corps et refaire du sang neuf. Il faut une combinaison de périodes de jeûne courtes et longues, un menu qui amène doucement vers des aliments ne formant pas de mucus, et des irrigations coloniques[54].

Ehret dit qu'en utilisant son système de transition, tout praticien pouvait changer son régime, passant d'aliments formant du mucus au sans mucus, et specifiquement en utilisant des aliments vivants bio. Cependant, il recommandait d'être prudent pendant la transition, car une détoxification trop forte pouvait entrainer pas mal de symptômes et de maladies chez les personnes faibles. Quand la toxémie ou le mucus entre dans la circulation sanguine trop vite, l'élimination des toxines et l'assimilation des nutriments peuvent être entravées. Ceci fut confirmé plus tard par Jethro Kloss et Henry Bieler[55] - [56].

Principe du Vitalisme

Ehret était convaincu que le corps est un moteur à air, ne dépendant pas de l'énergie de la nourriture, et que le corps n'est pas fait pour assimiler des aliments entrainant la formation de mucus. Il établît l'équation Vitalité = Puissance − Obstruction (V = P − O) pour démontrer cela[57]. Ehret dit aussi que les poumons étaient la pompe du corps et que le cœur n'était qu'une valve, avec le sang contrôlant le cœur - un concept aussi mentionné par le Dr M. J. Rodermund en 1904[58]. Ehret croyait de plus que les globules blancs sont le résultat de la réaction aux aliments avec mucus[59] - [60].

Mythe du Métabolisme

Ehret maintenait que les nouveaux tissus sont principalement fait du sucre simple des fruits[61] et pas des protéines et graisses métabolisées. Ehret autorisait les noix et graines pendant la période de transition jusqu'aux fruits seulement, et même là, un tout petit peu, car classant les aliments riches en protéines et graisses, comme « pas naturel » ; écrivant de plus qu'aucun animal ne mange des graisses et que toutes les graisses entrainent de l'acidité, même celles d'origine végétale, et donc ne sont pas utilisées par le corps[62] Les ré-éditions du livre Le système de guérison du régime sans mucus publiées par Fred S. Hirsch, disent que les noix sont « sans mucus »[63]. Ehret renonça à la consommation de viande, d'œuf, de lait, de céréales, de légumineuse de patates et de riz, reconnaissant leur utilité pendant la transition[62]. Ehret, cita Ragnar Berg, les graisses et les protéines entrainent la formation d'acidité dans le corps donc à consommer avec modération, comme le prônait Otto Carque[64].

Hypothèse rigoureuse

En 2009, un docteur d'Harvard, David L. Duffy, publia : « Une étude dans le Journal Of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism avec des résultats montrant « qu'un régime fort en protéines et céréales, les métabolise en produisant des résidus au pH acide. Cela peut entrainer l'excrétion de Calcium et affaiblir les os. » Je pense aussi que cela entrave le relâchement de l'oxygène des globules rouges vers les cellules du corps. »[65] - [66]

Dairy products whether, milk, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, cream, yoghurt, kefir, ghee, and whey, along with flesh products – meat, fish, fowl and eggs, are the most mucoid forming of all foods. Soy beans are the most mucoid forming of all plant foods. Vegetarians who include soy products in their diet are paying pricely homage to the utterly false and highly injurious idea that their bodies cannot do without animal products.

  26. "Due to our poor eating and drinking habits, stress, pollution, intake of drugs, inappropriate medications and smoking etc, over time the colon may become impacted with a great deal of uneliminated matter which actually hardens and adheres to its walls.

  27. "In order to protect itself from the chronic toxic irritation caused by eating meat, fish, dairy, and cereal products, the colon secretes large quantities of mucus to entrap toxic particles before they damage the colon's sensitive lining. When this occurs at every meal, every day, ever week, throughout the year, as is common in Western diets, the colon ends up secreting a constant stream of mucus, which accumulates and gets impacted in the folds of the colon. This results in a narrowing of the passage through the colon and a constant seeping of toxins into the bloodstream by osmosis. When the impacting of toxic mucus in the colon reaches a critical pressure, it causes a pocket to balloon outward through the colon lining, causing a condition called diverticulosis. Colitis and cancer are the next stages of colon deterioration caused by these conditions." Daniel Reid, The Tao Of Health, Sex & Longevity, Simon and Schuster, page 60
  28. "Mucus is a normal body secretion. All mucous membranes continually secret mucus as a means of keeping the surfaces moist and lubricated. Ingesting any food, or even water, will give rise to an increased level at the back of the mouth of a healthy lubricating type of mucus. These facts are often presented as disproving the validity of the mucus theory. Yet it is easy to distinguish healthy mucus from mucus formed as a reaction to toxicity. Healthy mucus is clear and slippery. Unhealthy mucus is cloudy, thick and sticky and this is the type of mucus produced by mucus forming foods.", Robert Gray, The Colon Health Handbook, Emerald Publishing, 1991, page 30

He achieved this by following his own Mucusless Diet Healing System, i.e. a Herbivore/Vegan diet using foods that remove the undigested animal residues he calls "mucus" that gives the white blood cells their characteristic white color from their phagocytosis of Animal/Dietary Cholestrol in their "house cleaning" sanitary body maintenance duties."

Their presence in sufficient quantities, refutes the now current idea that the organic, mineral or tissue salts, are the energy producing elements. They exist only in infinitesimal amounts in all foods, and part of them are drugs. Neither are the number of calories ("heat units" by calorimeter tests), reasonable basis for selecting a proper diet. My over forty years of observation, experiences and research have proven conclusively to me that fruits and vegetables have all the tissue salts needed, and that the presence of actually well known ingredients in sufficient quantity are the energy and life supporting ingredients which make them the superior of all other foods, when the debris (mucus) from the "mucus-rich" foods is eliminated.", Professor.

"Medical science is still suffering from Liebig's old theory that the human or animal muscle works on proteins, whereas as a matter of fact nearly all heat and energy are produced by fats and carbohydrates.
