Arnold Ehret - Scientific Claims

Scientific Claims

Having renounced the nitrogenous-albumin metabolic theory in 1909, Ehret learned of a contemporary, Thomas Powell M.D., in 1912, who concurred with his belief that "grape sugar" (simple sugars in fruits and vegetables) was the optimum fuel source, body building material and agent of vitality, for humans, not protein rich foods. Powell had set out his beliefs in the book "Fundamentals and Requirements of Health and Disease", published in 1909. Ehret claimed alkaline foods, which were also mucusless, formed the natural diet of humans. His findings about food values and pH values, were supported by chemist, Julius Hensel, and Swedish chemist, Ragnar Berg. In 1911-1912, Ehret conducted seminars and conferences in Germany, Switzerland and Monaco, about his discoveries, gaining support from Dr. Katz, the owner of a natural healing center in Stuttgart who wrote about Ehret in Lebeskunst magazine in 1911.

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or claims:

    The scientific mind is atrophied, and suffers under inherited cerebral weakness, when it comes in contact with the eternal woman—Astarte, Isis, Demeter, Aphrodite, and the last and greatest deity of all, the Virgin.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Who claims that the heathen’s view of the world is incorrect? Life gives you nothing! It is ruled by false gods! Nothing remains true to you but your own self; provided you remain true to it.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
