A different Spin

Food.

The most thought provoking books on man as organic environment and of what food actually consist is the writings of the late old Prussian German intellectual Professor Arnold Ehret. Specifically, his "Muculessless Diet Healing System" is considered by those familiar with this field of study as the Bible. It is a book that helped change my life. Ehret's "Thus Speaketh The Stomach" is a philosophic tour de force. His "Rational Fasting" in conjuction with the aformentioned books constitute an entire law system of the human biology.

Ehret actually describes the interactive agents involved in the brain's development and the human power of observation. He more than less pin points the cause of disease.

Additionally, Herman Aihara's "Acid and Alkaline" will alter the readers conception of the interactive agents of human biology.

"Organic food versus poisoned food" begs the question: "what in fact is food?"  This question carries one inevitably to the evolution of man and his emergence as a species.

For me personally, this led to making a reassessment of portions of Engels "The Role of Labor in the Transition from Ape to Man." Specifically the section dealing with the role of fire, meat and protein in the evolution of the brain. This led to reconceptualizing the idea of metabolism or if the human body is capable of coverting non-orgaic molecules into organic molecules on the basis of its internal integrity. If the human body could not effect such conversion then how could meat - an inorganic decaying substance at the point of death and then cooking, be responsible for the progressive development of the brain and the power of observation?

This of course led to restudying the history of alchemy and various obsolete alchemist formulations. Needless to say, I ended up with the belief that fire and meat do not account for the evolutionary leap in the transition from pre-man to man or rather to homo-sapien-sapien.

Ehret's insight - written during the early 1900s up to the early 1920s, and legacy constitute a revolution on the scale of the materialist conception of history.

I implemented Ehret's methods for a couple of years with extraordinary good results and to this day receive The Ehret Newsletter.
