For those interested in the mucusless diet and learning from a real pioneer of the raw food diet and nutrition and health, you can read his book mucusless diet as well as his books on constipation and fasting etc free here.

I have not read for some time but he mainly advocated fruits and above ground veggies to achieve perfect health but did have a transitional diet as you mentioned, Mira

It seems the mucusless diet recommended by Dr Christopher has some differences as they allowed some clean chicken or fish on occasion and did not allow sticky grains like rice, cooked flour and some others.

As far as Dr Schulze, I personally cannot afford to buy his products except on rare occasions but I have made many of the formulas as they are great using vodka and organic bulk herbs such as those sold at rose mountain herbs, local health food stores that sell bulk herbs or other online bulk herb sites. I do find local herbs and rose mountain to be cheaper than other options.

If anyone needs the formula for a specific Schulze formula, many are in his manual so email me with an email address and what illness you are dealing with and I will send that formula to you.

Even though the incurables program is time consuming, it is very effective and when people are dying and time is cut short or they are very ill and suffering greatly, one wants a comprehensive program like this. If it is not so crucial, then one can look for other treatments as many are out there. But I personally love Schulze and am hoping I get the motivation to go on it in January along with a 60 day of more juice fast which I was going to do last January and did not.

I do admit when I did the incurables before I was doing something every 15 minutes and still not done at end of day which Schulze said was common with his patients but I was doing a lot of extra tinctures for various health problems at the same time. I have only done it twice before.
though is is hard, he has had patients doing it even if they worked. I feel it and raw foods are the best healers out there and have probability typed his name a million tines in the last 15 years.

I hope sick people do not do it when they need to cause you mentioned it being complicated and time consuming as once one understands the basic components, it is not that complicated and one can mix some things to make it less time consuming if they must. While it is overwhelming g many do not need it for more than 30 or 60 days but if they have certain diseases like cancer, it behooves them to stay on it 6 months or more and retain some elements of it permanently to prevent relapse as it is harder to cure naturally after the first time according to Schulze.

Although Schulze is one I consider at the top, I do also take bits and pieces of other things I learned and believe in found ion my 35 years of intense research when dealing with a specific person trying to get better as needed practically all the time. I almost never recommend only Schulze but a very comprehensive program to try to get real results for those I counsel and this I am more than sure complicated and overwhelming. I do this as I want to give any one person all the info and options they need and also because I have found that people who pick and choose and take shortcuts do not get better or only have a partial healing. One must dedicate as much time and energy to getting well as they do to getting sick as some might heal on just a little but most need a lot more and that is what Schulze believe..not just doing this or that, but doing it all together in a true lifestyle change.

If it is not so pressing one can take their time, improving firs this and then that and making gradual changes but the truly sick have been building this sickness up for years if not decades.It is to them I often speak.

Many are not into natural healing like you or I but only seek out help when disaster strikes them. They often need a complete overhaul. They have to get away from that thinking of taking a pill to heal me like they do with drugs as natural healing works organically and gradually fixing underlying problems that can cause various illnesses seemingly not related but that really are.

Since the body is so adaptable to various toxins and unhealthy foods, it takes some time before the diseases and ill health start to show up and some people mistake lack of disease for health while optimal health is like that that Ehret achieved. Beyond one's wildest dreams. that is what I saw from an appendix in one of Ehret's book that I got decades ago that is not in the books now from his disciples explaining the fantastic changes in their health even though they had been say a vegetarian for decade and thought they were healthy till they came to experience the kind of health Ehret had.

Following Schulze's program with some things specific to the disease one is dealing with can achieve that kind of health for he used juice fasting for the very ill and dying and 100% raw vegan foods for the rest who had some sickness to overcome.

I have come to feel raw foods are the big healer whether juiced or whole with some tweaks needed for individuals gaging their own reactions.

I don't like the herballegacy products either sold by Dr Christopher's heirs and never ever recommend them though I do recommend his products made by others or oneself that are all organic or wildcrafted and follow his original formulas. I generally recommend people make their own tinctures which really is not that difficult or expensive and can be quit superior to much that is out there. In fact they studied it and after Schulze which I feel are the best on the planet found homemade 2nd best followed by herbpharm so these are the ones I use and recommend most of the tie when talking about herbal tinctures.

And tinctures are best absorbed and extract the most plant chemicals followed by herbal teas made with distilled or steam distilled water and last capsules which are not so good and rarely absorbed.

Yes I had read some bad things about colloidal silver and do not feel it should be used routinely although I used it to cure my cat's eyes and always have good luck with it and it is something easier to take for those who wont take things like garlic or grapefruit seed due to taste as it is colorless and tasteless. I probably need more info on it, I agree.

I feel if one does not sell stuff,. they are more free to give their true opinion and recommend things more that are not what they are selling which is good for the people seeking health a lot of times. Since I tend to be honest to a fault, I would probably not be good selling products as I must by character try to recommend that which I genuinely feel is best to the best of my knowledge and experience.

Thanks for the valuable info on how you do the liver cleanses and parasite cleansing. It sounds very good.

yes fruits are for cleansing and veggies for building but some diabetics cannot just take in fruit juices when fasting and should maybe dilute juices 50-50 with water although I as a diabetic did not. I used both fruit and veggies and on occasion even took commercial 100% juices when out. I also took in veggie broth and when out and hungry had hot and sour soup strained with all solids out.

During my 50 day fast on this, my blood sugar which often was as high as 500 or 600 plus became completely normal the whole time..in fact, it is the only time 15 or 20 years, my blood sugar had been normal.

this was completely against conventional doctor wisdom which says diabetics should not fast and definitely not drink fruit juice but then they also said meat or cheese did not affect it only carbs yet everytime I ate then after I became vegan (ie-slipped up) my blood sugar was through the roof. So I think one needs to not feel everything we had been taught is necessarily true especially some of that taught by doctors.

My doctor became furious when I said I was going on a 50 days juice fast and said why am I even going to her..she was extremely into natural and alternative health even though an allopath and had high recommendations but I did not believe her nor think her suggestion to never again in my life eat fruit or whole grains and to eat 6 or 7 small meals a day consisting of good proteins, good fats and veggies was right and we see that the dire consequences she expected for me juice fasting surprisingly lead to continual normal blood sugar the whole time I was on it.

I personally feel being a vegan mainly raw is a very healthy way to eat but I always stress whole foods not refined carbohydrates. I think only during transition is eating all that soy fake foods is acceptable while getting more on a natural whole diet once used to it to help people give up the foods they love. I know 100% raw foodists do not eat beans except sprouted but I also recall Dr Christopher recommended diabetes eat beans and greens and that beans are often recommended for diabetics as they are so low on the gylcemic index scale.

I feel people can have healthy diet eating animal products if keep in moderation and have had luck on various diets but this is just what I have come to believe since changing my diet 4 years ago..even long term raw vegans had changed and saw difficulties with long tern use of that diet and made adjustments.

I know my son's roommate is a vegetarian and my son said he hardly eats any produce and a lot of junk like potatoes chips so yes one needs to be aware of what vegan or vegetarian or even raw foods one eats; however, when asking people who might be eating sad to make big changes like this you aim for getting closer to a healthier diet and hope people will research and make changes with time to tighten it up though noone should be eating like my son's roommate.

I have found something is making my body not reacting as one hopes..even on 85 to 90% produce, my body is very acidic so not sure what is going on. Maybe some metabolic thing. I believe I have BOTH A PARATHYROID TUMOR WHICH LEADS TO OVER 20 PLUS SYMPTOMS i HAVE AND ALSO A GENETIC DISORDER WHICH LEADS ONE TO NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORBS CERTAIN IMPORTANT VITAMINS LIKE certain b vitamins and some minerals but my doctor said she never heard of it and thus cannot treat me and it is indeed quite rare but I have most of the symptoms and so does my brother so that could be contributing certainly.

Sometimes healing can take a while but at least through the help of others on here and this site and the internet we can get on a better track than we could back when I was younger and we had to look a lot harder to find the answers.

Also need to remember it is not only food but also things like reducing stress, being happy, good air and water and reduction of toxic chemicals and even some things we do not have control over that are making and keeping us sick. But I definitely feel if the original poster tried some of my suggestion, they would have a good shot of thinking more clearly.

Good luck on getting alkaline and with your health, Mira
