Down the rabbit hole / deepening the fruit experiment
I've still been experimenting, and reading widely on the topic. Fascinating threads. Thank you for the thoughtful responses. Still much healing happening, and purging of mucus. I've found that the attempt to eat mostly fruit, for me, has lead to simply eating a lot less, and fasting more as well, so that has fallen into the purview of the research. Also, an associate had 'Grave's Disease' and that cleared up by eating 90% fruit, and he no longer tests positive for that.
A few pieces of research that I thought some of you might find interesting...
I've been reading Hilton Hotema, Floridian, who thought that humans were originally breatharian, and that the 'fall' had to do with the consumption of varying foodstuffs. He's an interesting philosopher, in my opinion, and some of his ideas correlate with what I've found on this forum and in other sources.
"So long as man must eat, the best food is fresh fruits, berries and melons. These contain fluid of the best and purest kind, distilled by natural processes."
Hotema, Prof. Hilton. Man’s Higher Consciousness (Kindle Locations 2458-2459). Hauraki Publishing. Kindle Edition. (1060's)
"The Vegetarian has grown vain in his conceit. He has discarded animal products and feels that he has found dietetic perfection in vegetables, grains, cereals, legumes and tubers. Scientific investigation and his own deficient physical and mental condition prove that he is no better off than his flesh-eating friends. Unbiased investigation shows that the modern Vegetarian is travelling the wrong trail. The things he eats are not natural products, nor the natural food of man. They are definitely artificial. 1. Grains and cereals have been developed from insignificant grass seeds. By long ages of seed selection, careful breeding, intensive cultivation and constant fertilization, small grass seeds were developed by this artificial process into the modern grains and cereals. 2. Beans, peas, lentils, cabbage, lettuce, celery, etc., were developed in the same way from the grass family. 3. Tubers, which include potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, beets, radishes, etc., are nothing more than wild weed roots, developed by the artificial process above described. Years ago Knight, in his “Vegetable Food of Man, asserted that grains and cereals have been developed from insignificant grass seeds now unknown to botany. Dr. Emmet Densmore, in his “Natural Food of Man,” wrote: “Grains are the product of the temperate zone, not of those regions where there is no winter; and it was therefore a necessity of man’s sustenance when he was without agriculture, without tools, and without fire, and had to depend upon foods spontaneously produced by Nature, that he live in a region where foods were produced at all seasons of the year. This narrows or confines the inquiry of natural food to two articles— fruits and nuts” (P. 224).

Interestingly, Hotema found that foods were non ideal in relation to the 'mineral ash' they left behind, which he refers to here as 'earthy matter.'
"Evans gives over twenty pages of tables of the analysis of foods, which show that fruits and nuts have the least proportion of earthy matter, as compared with their nourishing properties, of any of the foods now used by man. Next in order are animal foods, then come vegetables, and last are the pulses and cereals, which are shown to have the largest amount of earthy matter."
Hotema, Prof. Hilton. Man’s Higher Consciousness (Kindle Locations 2444-2445). Hauraki Publishing. Kindle Edition.
So note the progression, from ideal food to most harmful...
1. Fruits and nuts
2. Animal Foods (meats and unpasteurized milk)
3. Vegetables
3. Pulses and cereals
So moving up in the tiers would promote healing, and it does seem to. And fasting, or even dry fasting, seems to produce the most dramatic healing. So that all aligns in some sense.
Johnny Lovewisdom wrote an interesting book circa 1998, from his mountain hermitage, The Ascensional Science of Spiritualizing Fruitarian Dietetics, after experimenting with fruitarianism, etc, for most of his life it seems. The book is full of religious thinking, and also some scientific points of interest. For instance, there are referenced studies of radioactive fallout, strontium 90, in plant tissues, and these are highest in shallow rooted vegetables and grasses, and the animals that eat those grasses. He links those to many diseases and death, and says that the government stopped putting out those reports after the 70's.
"Why is it that Dairy Products, Grains and Leafy Vegetables contain the greatest amount of Strontium 90 Radioactive Fallout? They are all the products of Chlorophyll concentrations in food."
Lovewisdom, Dr. Johnny. The Ascensional Science of Fruitarian Dietetics (Kindle Locations 1549-1550). Paradisian publications. Kindle Edition.
Because fruit trees often have deep roots, they are mostly spared of this, which I suppose is contingent on country of origin.
"The Roy Hoopes Report on Fallout in Food gave these figures: U.S. 15.4, Germany 13.6, United Kingdom 9.8, Vietnam 8.3, Japan 7.8, Peru 2.8, and Ecuador 1.2 on the daily intake of Strontium 90 microcures."
Lovewisdom, Dr. Johnny. The Ascensional Science of Fruitarian Dietetics (Kindle Locations 1554-1556). Paradisian publications. Kindle Edition.
So it is possible that fruit eating heals by virtue of providing nourishment while avoiding certain poisons.
"Continuing the data given by Roy Hoopes as to Strontium 90 in food there is in Kale 74.7, Whole Wheat 56.2, String beans 43.2, Mustard Greens 40.0, Spinach 36.5, Turnip greens 32.0, Sweet potato 13.5, Cucumber 13.3 Turnip 10.6, Beets 10.3, Cabbage 7.1, Broccoli 5.3, Carrots 4.1, Radish 3.4, Celery 2.8, Cauliflower and Coconut 1.7, Potato 1.4, Lettuce 1.4, Peaches 1.1, Apples 1.0, Tomatoes 1.0. The reason fruits have the least is because their roots go deep into earth not contaminated, but the surface soil is concentrated with fallout as seen in wheat and dairy products, followed by kale and other leafy greens which have the most chlorophyll. Milk had the highest figures on Hoopes’ lists."

Lovewisdom also goes into the 'earthy matter' for different foods, however he refers to it as:
"The calcium and mineral ash is .7%, .8% and .9% in cows, goats and sheep milk which is twice .45% human milk ash."

Longevity --- Fruits / Nuts
Dr. Marion Thrasher, in his book “Long Life in California,” stated that the Indians of southern California and Mexico, who subsisted on a simple diet of fruits, corn, acorns and vegetables, lived 120 to 150 years. He cited the case of “Old Gabriel,” who died of pneumonia in 1890 at the age of 150.

There are many stories like this. Arabs in the desert reaching 200 on dates and camel's milk. Etc.
Abkhasians often lived well over 100, sometimes to over 150, even into modern times (the 70's). In How to Live to Be 100, by Sula Benet, an anthropological study of the Abkhasians, I stumbled upon an interesting passage...
"Hippocrates reported that the people of the Caucasus lived on cherries, pine cones, apples, melons, and berries which grew wild in the woods. Even at that time the area was famous for longevity, and the Greeks may have sought dietary clues as to why these people attained such unusual ages. " Page 103.
“Among instances of longevity, we have the ancient Britons, who, according to Plutarch, ‘only begin to grow old at 210’. Their food consists almost exclusively of acorns, berries and water.”

(Note: Very similar diets.)
This may be interesting as well, as I've read about this figure in some of Laura's books...
"According to Voltaire and Francis Bacon, there appeared in Court in the reign of Henry IV and Louis XIII a knight with every appearance of physical and mental perfection, who looked like a man of 40. His name was the Count of St. Germain, and he remembered all the events of history covering a period of 150 years before Of him Bacon wrote, “Whenever he was invited out to suppers and dinners, he touched nothing but fruits and only a very little of them and he sometimes fasted completely for several weeks.”
Hotema, Prof. Hilton. Man’s Higher Consciousness (Kindle Locations 2818-2819). Hauraki Publishing. Kindle Edition.
These are interesting, anecdotal stories, because when I was young, experimenting with a range of diets, people would often admonish me, saying 'what are you going to live on, nuts and berries!?' That was somehow the proof that the diet was impossible. However, the programming was deep against a diet that may have been in some ways ideal.
Hilton Hotema also writes much on longevity, mostly positioning it so that the long lived people ate simpler, and less.
"In 1943 Santiago Surviate, an Indian, died in Arizona at the age of 135. In 1936 Zora Agha, a Turk, died in Turkey at the age of 162. In 1921 Jose Calverio died in Mexico at the age of 185. In 1795 Thomas Carn died in England at the age of 207. In 1933 Li Chung-Yun died in China at the age of 2 56. In 1566 Numes De Cugna died in India at the age of 370. He grew four new sets of teeth and his hair turned from black to gray four times."
Hotema, Prof. Hilton. Man’s Higher Consciousness (Kindle Locations 452-455). Hauraki Publishing. Kindle Edition.
It also abounds with stories like this:
According to the press of May 27th, 1937, Srimati Bala, of Bankura, India, age 68 had taken no food nor water since she was 12. The account said “She is always gay and looks like a child.”

So eating lightly, fruits, and then juices, eventually leads to not eating, in his mind. And the purer a body is, the longer one can fast and draw nourishment from the air / sunlight / environment. These are theoretical, of course. E'asha, speaker for Keylontic Science, agrees that humans were originally breatharian, however if we try that now, we will 'burn out our quanta,' evidently a finite source of energy that requires living in alignment with the natural laws here.
Moving toward Full Purification / Immunity
I've still been purging, purging, wondering when the purging ends. Much mucus eliminated from the head, and I know it isn't from what I'm ingesting currently, because days of dry fasting cause it to proliferate even more. I eat cooked foods to slow it down sometimes, and some practitioners have devised brilliant systems for this. Otherwise, some can remain ill much of the time during the detoxification process.
Ehret, fruitarian, wrote of an end to his purging, which I think has inspired others...
"After a two-years' cure, in Italy, of Bright's disease with consumptive tendency, by fasting and strict living on a mucusless diet, I ate two pounds of the sweetest grapes and drank half a gallon of fresh, sweet grape juice, made from the best and most wonderful grapes grown there. Almost immediately I felt as though I were going to die! A terrible sensation overcame me, palpitation of the heart, extreme dizziness that forced me to lie down and I was seized with severe pains in the stomach and intestines. After ten minutes the great event occurred-a mucus foaming diarrhea and vomiting of grape juice mixed with acid-smelling mucus and then the greatest event of all! I felt so wonderfully well and strong that I at once performed the knee-bending and arm-stretching exercises 326 times consecutively. All obstructions had been removed!"
Ehret, Arnold (2012-05-07). Mucusless Diet Healing System (p. 192). Book Publishing Co. Kindle Edition.
And his story is inspiring as well because he claimed to have achieved some level of immunity against disease generally.
"It has been over a year since I published my experiences in the journal Vegetarian Observer, in which I described staying in a malaria-infested area of Italy with a former student of mine. With pulse rates between 42 and 52 we intentionally sought out malaria infested areas, sleeping outside and going on long, strenuous hikes.
I have offered my knowledge about absolute immunity against tropical fevers to all government offices of Europe and America dealing with foreign and colonial affairs. I maintain- and I am ready to prove - that I am immune to cholera and will not contract it even when I eat unripe fruit. Furthermore, everyone who lives according to my dietary rules will also acquire total immunity. It is my duty and moral obligation to inform everyone about these findings, based on empirical personal, scientific exploration, in order to help those people who seek strength and resist deterioration through disease." The Cause and Cure of Human Illness, Arnold Ehret.
That's it for the moment. Thank you.
I'm probably in the wrong thread now...
