Table of Contents

Professor Arnold Ehret was a German healer, dietitian, philosopher, teacher, visionary, and one of the first people to advocate fasting and a plant-based, vegan, mucus-free lifestyle as a therapy for healing. For over 100 years, his written works and teachings have touched the lives of thousands of health seekers pursuing higher levels of health. He was also a cultural icon who had a great influence on the "Back-to-Nature" counter-cultural movement which first emerged in Victorian Era Europe, and then migrated to Southern California in the early 1900s. The movement fundamentally influenced the hippie counter-culture of the 1960s.

In the early 1900s, Ehret opened a hugely popular sanitarium in Ascona, Switzerland where he treated and cured thousands of patients considered incurable by the so-called "medical authorities." During the latter part of the decade, Ehret engaged in a series of fasts monitored by German and Swiss officials. Within a period of 14 months, Ehret completed a fast of 21 days, one of 24 days, one of 32 days, and one of 49 days. He became one of the most in-demand health lecturers, journalists, and educators in Europe as he saved the lives of thousands of people.

On June 27, 1914, just before World War I, Ehret left from Bremen for the United States to see the Panama Exposition and sample the fruits of the continent. He found his way to California, which was viewed as an "Eden of the West." The region was also undergoing a horticultural renaissance due to botanists like Luther Burbank, which greatly interested Ehret. The war prevented him from returning to Germany and he settled in Mount Washington, where he prepared his manuscripts and diplomas in his cultivated eating gardens. With the help of Fred Hirsch, he founded Ehret Literature and began to publish his masterful works.

Today, Ehret's works are increasing in popularity as people learn of the healing power of plant-based, vegan, and raw-food diets. Overall, Ehret believes that pus- and mucus-forming foods are unnatural for humans to eat. He asserts that a diet of fruits and green, leafy vegetables (i.e., mucus-free foods) are the most healing and powerful foods for humans. The world needs Ehret's work now more than ever. In an era where people consume genetically modified, mucus-forming frankenfoods daily, the simplicity and truthfulness of Ehret's teachings can transform humanity for the better.

In the Definite Cure of Chronic ConstipationandOvercoming Constipation Naturally , Prof. Arnold Ehret and his number one student Fred Hirsch explore the generally constipated condition of the human organism. Such constipation is not only in the intestines, but also in the tissues and cells. This constipation is derived from unnatural, uneliminated accumulations of waste that build up in the human body from childhood on. Within, the authors explore how to fundamentally and DEFINITELY overcome the chronic constipation that plagues humanity. In this version, minor edits have been made to correct existing errors and outdated, gendered syntax.

By Prof. Arnold Ehret

Chronic constipation is the worst and most common crime against life and mankinda crime unconsciously committed, and one whose full enormity is not yet fully realized. It stands accused of being one of the principal causative factors of all physical and mental diseases. I know as a fact, from my practical experience with thousands of chronically diseased, that the lives of humans, and the extent of their mental and spiritual capabilities, are largely influenced by the condition of the alimentary tract. It is certainly very important that the brain and nerves of men and women are supplied with pure blood, and are not dependent on blood polluted with impurities arising from an unclean alimentary canal. "Unclean" is too mild a word when we are dealing with the worst kind of a filthy condition.

It is a fact that humans, the product of the present "civilized" society of this much-vaunted "advanced" twentieth century, are born unhealthy because their mothers, during pregnancy, are almost invariably suffering from constipation. And I say further, that while in this state she usually eats two to three times as much as is necessary. This causes the so-called normal, more or less healthy person, to be somewhat encumbered from infancy. And to a much greater extent is the constipated onewho is loaded with such a mass of internal filth, that it can only be called "indescribable." His or her alimentary tract, reaching up from the mouth of the anus to his or her throat, is filled with a morbid mucusundigested, decayed, and retained food substances, all of which are in a state of fermentation and putrefaction. Their intestines have never had a perfect cleansing during their entire life. At the conclusion of each discharge, the anus must be artificially cleansed, which shows that the internal walls of the intestines must also retain, after each passage, quantities of this same filth.

A physician of Berlin, whose lifework was the performing of autopsies, stated that 60 percent of all the corpses contained in the alimentary canal various foreign materworms and putrefied fecesand he further stated that in nearly all cases, the walls of the intestines and colon were lined with a crust of hardened feces, making it evident that these organs had degenerated to a state of utter inefficiency. Progressive American physicians are rapidly awakening to the fact that retained fecal matter is one of the chief causes of disease. Autopsies are constantly revealing indescribable, filthy, astounding conditions. One physician published the following:
