Views On Disease
Ehret claimed that pus- and mucus-forming foods were the cause of human disease, "schleimlose" (slime-free) foods were the key to human health and "fasting (simply eating less) is Nature's omnipotent method of cleansing the body from the effects of wrong and too much eating." The term mucus, a glyco-protein acid, derives from the Greek "myxa". In 1812, William Cullen referred to mucus as 'butyraceous matter' and in 1877, Gustav Schlickeysen referred to a mucus layer beneath the human skin in Obst Und Brod. It was later termed 'mucin' by Dr. Teofilo De La Torre in the 1950s, 'mucous' by Morris Krok in the 1960s, 'impacted fecal matter' by Norman Walker in the 1970s 'mucoid matter' by Robert Gray in the 1980s, and 'mucoid plaque' in the 1990s. In the 2000s, Daniel Reid re-introduced the term 'mucus'. Gray further noted the distinction between healthy and unhealthy mucus, and how certain substances left an internal residue which the body suspended in mucus, in contrast with a fruitarian diet.

Famous quotes containing the words views on, views and/or disease:
“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
