What is PUS?
What is PUS?
PUS: from late 14 century deriving from the Latin “pus” (related to puter [putrid] “rotten”), from Proto-Indo-European*pu- compared to Sanskrit. puyati “rots, stinks,” putih “stinking, foul,” perhaps originally echoic of a natural exclamation of disgust.
Pus often refers to a thick white, yellowish, yellow-brown, or greenish opaque viscid liquid produced by suppuration and found in decomposing tissue, sores, etc., consisting of a liquid plasma in which dead blood cells are suspended.
When eaten, animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs, decompose into, and create, excess pus residue in the body. Many mistakenly believe that the presence of pus is only the result of the body responding to infection caused by bacteria or fungi. Yet, perhaps since many believe pus-forming substances to be necessary food-stuffs, the body’s natural effort to eliminate accumulated waste from pus-forming foods is not considered or understood. Cooked or raw pus-forming foods are some of the most dangerous and debilitating things that humans can eat. They have absolutely no ‘nutritious’ or sustaining power, and when eating they over-stimulate the body. This ‘stimulation’ is then mistakenly believed to be ‘energy’ or ‘vitality.’
Arnold Ehret on pus:
“More than fifty years ago, the most prominent pioneers of Naturopathy said: ‘Every disease is foreign matter—waste.’ I said, twenty years ago, and repeat it again and again, that most of these foreign matters are paste produced from wrong foods, decomposed—to be seen when it leaves the body as mucus. Meat decomposes into pus.” (Mucusless Diet Healing System)
ALBUMEN: Originally used to refer to the “white of an egg,” deriving from Latin albumen lit. “whiteness,” from albus “white.” It is a class of simple, water-soluble proteins that can be coagulated by heat and are found in egg whites, blood serum, milk, and many other animal and plant tissues. Albuminous refers to something consisting of, resembling, or containing albumen. See PUS.
Arnold Ehret on albumen:
“Metabolism, or the “science of change of matter,” is the most absurd and the most dangerous doctrine-teaching ever imposed on mankind. It is the father of the wrong cell theory and of that most erroneous, albumen theory, which latter theory will kill and stamp out the entire civilized Western world if its following is not stopped. It will kill you, too, some day, if you fail to accept the truth that a continual albumen replacement is unnecessary, and that you cannot gain vitality, efficiency and health by protein as long as your human “engine” has to work against obstructions, which are in fact the cause of death of all mankind of the western civilization.” (Mucusless Diet Healing System)

Excerpt from Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System
HOW IT LOOKS IN THE HUMAN COLON
It is of utmost importance that thru our diagnoses we must learn as much as possible the general appearance of the inside of the human body. Our diagnosis therefore consists in finding out the degree of quantities of individual waste matter of the patient.
Experts in autopsy state they have found that from 60% to 70% of the colons examined have foreign matters such as worms and decades of feces-stones. The inside walls of the over-intestines are encrusted by old, hardened feces and resemble in appearance the inside of a filthy stove-pipe.
I had fat patients that eliminated from their body as much as 50 to 60 pounds waste, and 10 to 15 pounds alone, from the colon — mainly consisting of foreign matters, especially old, hardened, feces. The average so-called “healthy” man of today carries continually with him, since childhood, several pounds of never-eliminated feces. One “good stool” a day means nothing. A fat and sick man is in fact a living “cess-pool.” A distinct surprise to me was that a number of my patients in such condition had already undertaken so-called “nature cures.”

Prof. Spira on Steve Jobs, Ashton Kutcher, Arnold Ehret, Radical Raw Fruit Diets, and the Transition
For some reason, people continue to misinterpret Arnold Ehret’s message. Although he emphasizes a transition diet which progressively moves toward mucus-free menus, people frame Ehret as the ‘fruit diet’ guy who recommends indiscriminate long fruit fasts. This is not true. Ehret urges people to use great caution while moving toward the fruit level, as it is the most powerful food and aggressive detoxifier. People also frame Ehret as someone who recommends radical fasting cures. This is also not true. Ehret said that he does not endorse long fasts for most patients. Further, the genius of ‘Rational Fasting’ and the ‘Regeneration Diet’ is that short-term fasting is used systematically with a mucus-free diet to gain safe and effective results.
Recently, Ehret has been getting some bad press with the death of Steve Jobs and hospitalization of Ashton Kutcher who, in an attempt at some misguided method acting, ate a radical fruit diet for his portrayal of Jobs in an upcoming movie. Let it be clear, Ehret would not have advocated a long-term fruit period, especially without a systematic transition and a clearing out of the intestines through natural laxatives and/or colon irrigation.
Here is what Ehret has to say:
Fasting When Used in Connection With the Mucusless Diet Healing System
As I have stated before, I am no longer in favor of long fasts. In fact it may become criminal to let a patient fast for 30 or 40 days on water—contracting the avenues of circulation, which are continually filled up more and more with mucus and by dangerous old drugs and poisons, and at the same time rotten blood from his old “stock;” in fact actually starving form necessary vital food elements . No one can stand a fast of that kind without disadvantage or without harming his vitality.
If fasting is to be used at all, then start at first with the non-breakfast plan; then follow with the 24-hour fast for a while; then gradually increase up to 3, 4 or 5-day fasts, eating between fasts for 1, 2, 3 or 4 days a mucusless diet, combined individually as an elimination adjustment, and at the same time supplying and rebuilding the body continually with and by the best elements contained in and found only in mucusless foods.
Thru such an intermittent fast the blood is gradually improved, regenerated, can more easily stand the poisons and waste, and is able at the same time to dissolve and eliminate “disease deposits” from the deepest tissues of the body; deposits that no doctor ever dreamed existed, and that no other method of healing has ever discovered or can ever remove.[Spira160]
This, then, is the Mucusless Diet Healing System, with fasting an essential part of it. (Mucusless Diet Healing System) READ MORE

Professor Spira’s Response:
It cannot be said with certainty how long Ehret remained mucusless and raw. Ehret is most known for his series of extended fasts which were scientifically monitored by Swiss government officials, where a fast of 49 days remained the world record for several decades. Suffice it to say, many people were completely blown away by Ehret’s monitored fasts. Yet, as with those of us who push ourselves physiologically to uncover deeper levels of unrealized human potential, many health seekers thought that they should be able to accomplish similar feats without years of transition or study. But Ehret’s demonstration was not meant to be a public spectacle–like a David Blaine trick–but to challenge and show that the fundamental reasoning upon which the burgeoning Western medical establishment was being based is fundamentally erroneous. His influence among medical professionals in Europe during the late 1800s was tremendous, as his work split early researchers into Ehretists and non-Ehretists. In addition to these officially monitored fasts, we have accounts of Ehret’s own experiences weaved into his articles/books about mucusless diet and fasting. One of the most notable accounts is of his 2 years of intensive fasting and fruit diet. During this period he traveled, I believe mostly by foot or bicycle, with a friend around Europe and Northern Africa. These accounts show off his physical prowess as he talks about advanced feats of strength and vitality. READ MORE->
Art of the Transition: A Response to Dr. Stanley Bass and Others
A response to Stanley Bass and Others on the Art of Ehret’s Transition Diet
The following is an excerpt from Prof. Spira’s new eBook Spira Speaks: Dialogs and Essays on the Mucusless Diet Healing System, find it HERE–When one does a Google search on Arnold Ehret, an article named “Fruit: Friend or Foe” by Dr. Stanley Bass used to appear toward the top of the results. In the article, Bass reflects on his experimentation with fruit dieting and fasting. After being influenced by local naturopathic doctors at a young age and reading many authors from the Back to Nature/Natural Hygienic Movement, such a John Henry Tilden, Bass began to fervently experiment with radical dietary changes. He did intensive fruit juice and water fasts without the necessary aid of a slow, rational transition. Later in his life he, then a nutritionist, learned of the Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System. However, his interpretation of Ehret’s dynamic system was that humans are fundamentally frugivores. As many of his raw-fruitarian aspiring peers before and after him, he disregarded the proposition of the TRANSITION DIET, and tried to implement radical periods of all fruit eating. He then experienced many negative symptoms, including bleeding of the gums, and ultimately the loss of teeth. Later, adopting more of a raw-foodist approach, he lived on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and avocados–the latter two being mucus-forming. It should be noted that at no point did Bass’s description of his radical dietetic endeavors resemble a rational and effective application of Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System
Many students of the Back to Nature/Natural Hygiene movement notice that many of the pioneering fruitarian thinkers went through intensive periods of elimination which sometimes scared them away from their pursuit of natural living, or even worse. Many of them reverted to the nutrition mythology of Western dietetic theory and blamed the fruit, or the lack of other nutrients, for their debilitating conditions. And today, many of those who claim to be ‘fruitarians’, raw-foodists, or vegans dive in to such diets head first, and feel great for while only to experience tremendous FALLS (i.e. intensive and potentially dangerous periods of elimination/

Below is an excerpt from my soon to be released Ebook on practicing a mucusless lifestyle. These are some general ideas to consider when beginning the transition diet.
Mucus Forming Foods:
- Meat, Poultry, Dairy, Grains, & Starches
- Meat, poultry, and dairy are the most dangerous mucus formers and should be avoided from the beginning. I used certain grains and starches, such as well-toasted 100% sprouted wheat bread and 100% wheat spaghetti as early transitionary mucuses, i.e. mucus-lean options.

The following is an excerpt from Prof. Spira’s new eBook Spira Speaks: Dialogs and Essays on the Mucusless Diet Healing System, find it HERE:
Whenever we are provoked by the erroneous concepts that we have been programmed to respect since childhood, we must have courage in the unknown. Simple logic will always save the day. I know plenty of people who have suffered and died from disease that were pus and mucus eaters, but I do not know anybody who died eating only fruits and greenleaf vegetables (mucusless foods). Since we already know what is at the end of the mucus path, it makes sense to explore the unknown. I find it essential to interrogate the historical origins of these erroneous medical and dietetic theories. Who created the protein myth and when? Who coined the term vitamin and why? What kind of diet did these elusive founding fathers of Western medical science have, and how did it affect the nature of their investigations? Consider the historical origin of the B-12 theory:
