The word “without mucus”, or free of mucus, refers to foods that are not pus or form mucus within the human body. These foods are digested without leaving a thick, slimy, slimy substance called mucus in the GI tract. These foods include all kinds of fat-free and non-starchy fruits and vegetables. The term was coined in the early 20th century by the dietician and healer Teacher. arnold ehret in his book the Mucusless Diet Cure System. The mucusless diet consists of all kinds of raw and cooked fruits, non-starchy and cooked or raw vegetables, mostly green leafy vegetables. The Mucusless Diet as a Healing System is a combination of individually advised long and short fasts, gradually changing menus to raw foods that do not form mucus, and other therapies such as sunbathing, exercise, colonic irrigation, etc. Ehret notes that the accumulation of waste materials eliminated by eating pus, mucus, and acid-forming foods is the basis of human disease.
The following list is certainly not exhaustive, but these are some of the most common mucus-free foods. Eating more of these foods in the right combinations is an important part of the transition to a mucus-free diet.

transition diet
It is very important that people learn how to transition from the most harmful mucus-forming foods to those that leave the least amount of waste. Many people mistakenly believe that Ehret’s work is inherently, or only, raw vegan or frugivorous. However, Ehret emphasizes staying away from all mucus-forming foods above all else. Although the highest levels of the Mucusless Diet are raw foods without mucus, Ehret advocates the use of cooked foods without mucus, and even some items that form a little mucus, when necessary during the diet. transition diet. For more information on this transition process, see Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System: Annotated, Revised, and Edited by Prof. Spira.
