Prof. Spira, Ph.D.
In 2002, Prof. Spira was a 300-pound, 19 year old former high school football player who suffered from multiple ailments such as daily migraine headaches, frequent ear infections, sleep apnea, painful acid reflux, allergies, joint pain, yearly bouts of bronchitis, constant cold and flu-like symptoms, dry itchy skin, chronic constipation, ear infections, and bad body odour. After he lost his mother to a terrible string of chronic illnesses when he was in the 6th grade, he grew up assuming that he was genetically destined to be sick his whole life. While studying jazz trombone performance at the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music, he met a jazz drummer named Willie Smart (aka Brother Air) who told him about Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System.
He had no idea that the mucus-forming foods he consumed played a huge part in his lack of wellness. All he knew was that if he continued on this path of self-destruction, he would surely die. Within 6 months of reading the book, Spira lost 110 pounds and overcame all of his major ailments. He was able to throw away his CPAP unit (an oxygen mask that treats sleep apnea) and the medications he’d taken since childhood. Since his transformation, Spira has become a world-renowned authority on the Mucusless Diet and inspired thousands of people to use Ehret’s Healing System to overcome their illnesses through his writings, music, and one-on-one consultation and coaching sessions.
His vision for a mucus-free future
Prof. Spira has worked hard to revive the work of Arnold Ehret and has helped thousands of people learn how to transition toward a mucus-free lifestyle. In 2014, Spira started Mucus-free Life LLC, which currently publishes several books including Prof. Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System: Annotated, Revised, and Edited by Prof. Spira, Spira Speaks: Dialogs and Essays on the Mucusless Diet, Prof. Arnold Ehret’s Rational Fasting, Definite Cure of Constipation, and Thus Speaketh the Stomach. In spring 2016 he released the audiobook version of his acclaimed annotated version of Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet. In 2015 Spira sold thousands of copies of his books to health-seekers and his Annotated version of the Mucusless Diet frequently entered Amazon’s Top10 best seller’s list for Naturopathy, Health, Fitness, Dieting, Alternative Medicine, and Healing. (On a personal note I beg you, do not buy his stuff on amazon, please support him directly by purchasing right from his website and avoid the consumer parasite and censorship machine that amazon has become – this is my opinion only of course so do what makes you feel good). In Spring 2016 he released the first Audiobook format of his acclaimed annotated version of Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet and has recently released a revolutionary Mucusless Diet eCourse as well. He is the webmaster of www.mucusfreelife.com, facilitates popular public support groups for Mucusless Diet practitioners, and produces educational videos about the Mucusless Diet in his many videos which you will find in the BLOG section of his website. Spira is a highly sought after health consultant and coach specializing in Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System.
Prof. Arnold Ehret – the father of Fasting
Professor Arnold Ehret was a German natural healer, philosopher, dietician, teacher, visionary, and one of the first people on earth to advocate fasting and a plant-based, mucus-free lifestyle as a therapy for healing. For over 120 years, his written works and teachings have touched the lives of thousands of health-seekers pursuing higher levels of vitality and healing. His most famous books – Mucusless Diet Healing System and Rational Fasting – continue to increase in popularity as plant-based, vegan, and raw-food diets become more of a mainstream way of life. Prof. Ehret knew that pus-forming and mucus-forming foods were unnatural for human consumption and suggested that a diet of fruits and starchless vegetables (i.e. mucus-free foods) are the most healing and powerful foods for humans. He offers a sophisticated yet simple and safe transitional system for those who endeavour to stop eating pus-forming and mucus-forming foods and start to regain their health and life back from the toxic foods we all seem to crave.
Prof. Ehret’s work has inspired many prominent leaders in naturopathy, plant-based vegan diets, raw-foodism, back-to-naturists, artists, scientists, and even innovators of computer technology. Prof. Spira has since championed this cause in our modern times and is the foremost expert on living a ‘Mucus-Free Life’ in order to regain your health and vitality the way Mother Nature intended for us – her children.

- Dr. Sebi is the man who saved my life back in 2016 (Prof. Spira has since taken me to all new levels of health, happiness and vitality with his high vibration and easy to follow transition diet). Dr Sebi was a famous naturopath and herbalist who healed himself of asthma, diabetes, impotency, and obesity using Ehret’s principles. He is noted for winning a US supreme court case proving that he healed disease naturally and he often discusses the negative effects of mucus-forming foods. Dr. Sebi believed that plant-based food “is alkaline for the body, and that dead foods kill your body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate healing.” He’d grown disenchanted with western medicine and especially its reliance on pharmaceuticals. After unsuccessful treatments with conventional doctors and traditional western medicine, Sebi was lead to an herbalist in Mexico. Finding great healing success from all his ailments, he began creating natural vegetation cell food compounds geared for inter-cellular cleansing and the revitalization of all the cells that make up the human body. Dr. Sebi dedicated over 30 years of his life to develop a unique methodology that he could only obtain through years of empirical knowledge.

Please do yourself a favour and spend some time reading about Prof Spira and the amazing work he is doing in an attempt to bring happiness and health back to the masses. Too many people are stuck in the perpetual game of fad diets and constantly caving into their cravings for food-like products which are highly processed and full of chemicals. These products not only trick the brain into thinking it is delicious and good for you but slowly breakdown your entire system, making you age faster while your health steadily declines. Your body can live without meat, dairy, and mucus-forming foods but the parasites in your belly cannot so it is up to you to take control of your life by following his transition diet. Stop the cycle before it is too late.
