Excess mucous production and cutting out dairy products
A year ago, I switched to soya milk to try and reduce the amount of mucous my body was producing. I have now cut out all dairy products and am feeling better, but am not sure if I am doing the right thing?
You may not realise that soy is high in protein and so, like dairy products, still triggers the production of mucous in the body. The reason your symptoms have improved is because you have eliminated all dairy, and not solely because you switched to soya milk which, on its own, would have made very little difference.
As long ago as the 1920s, natural healers were treating mucous as a toxic waste product in the body and pointing the finger at high protein dairy and meat foods as being responsible for its build-up. To learn more about a system of healing that aims to eradicate this, invest in a copy of Professor Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System published by Ehret Literature Publishing in New York, and available in this country by mail order from the Nutricentre Bookshop on 020 7323 2382. The book includes lists of foods, including spinach and figs, that work in the body to help eliminate mucous.
