Living Foods Lifestyle (Hippocrates Diet): Dietetic variation of self-healing originated by Ann Wigmore (1904-1994). It is the centerpiece of the Hippocrates health program.

The Hippocrates Diet comprises seven categories of uncooked (living) foods:

(1)           specific fruits;

(2)           specific vegetables;

(3)           fresh juices extracted from fruits, vegetables, and sprouts;

(4)           specific sprouts;

(5)           nuts and seeds;

(6)           fermented foods such as sauerkraut and miso; and

(7)           unfiltered honey.

In The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program (1984), Wigmore stated that life energy is the active agent of enzymes and claimed that the diet stops unnecessary wastage of enzyme energy.

Chinese traditional food therapy (Chinese food therapy): Form of food therapy of ancient Chinese origin.

(See Chinese dietotherapy and Chinese System of Food Cures.)

Chinese System of Food Cures: Anthology of dietary prescriptions set forth by Henry C. Lu, Ph.D. The appropriateness of specific foods for particular symptoms, conditions, and diseases is based on three classes of food attributes: flavor, energy, and movement.

The system associates flavors - pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty - with different internal organs. Energies - cold, hot, warm, cool, and neutral - determine the ultimate effect of ingesting specific foods. Movement refers to the tendency of different foods to move in different directions in the body: outward, inward, upward, or downward.

Reducing strategy originated by mystical philosopher Anthony Norvell, author of Norvell's Dynamic Mental Laws for Successful Living (1965), Meta-Physics: New Dimensions of the Mind (1967), Cosmic Magnetism: The Miracle of the Magic Power Circle (1970), Mind Cosmology (1971), Occult Sciences: How to Get What You Want Through Your Occult Powers (1971), The Miracle Power of Transcendental Meditation (1972), One Hundred Thousand Dollar Dream and How to Make It Come True (1973), Universal Secrets of Telecosmic Power (1974), and The Oriental 7-Day Quick Weight-Off Diet (1975). Norvell died before 1997. The diet is a means of losing weight even if one eats as much as one wants.

According to Norvell's theory, brown rice is an amazing, God-given source of proteins that do not add to body weight.

Rainbow Diet: A theistic form of vegetarianism, chakra healing, and color therapy advanced by Gabriel Cousens, M.D., a practitioner of auricular acupuncture, crystal healing, and homeopathy. Cousens is the author of Conscious Eating, Sevenfold Peace, and Spiritual Nutrition and The Rainbow Diet (1986).

The Rainbow Diet's principle is that every colored food - except flesh, fast food, junk food, frozen food, and irradiated food - builds, cleanses, energizes, heals, and rebalances those glands, organs, and nerve centers associated with whichever major chakra is related to the food's surface color.

He further stated that death is a sham (p. 67).

mucusless diet: Centerpiece of Ehretism. The mucusless diet consists of all green vegetables and all fruit. In an essay titled My Mucusless Diet and Naturopathy, Ehret held that internal impurity (mucus) was the only disease, and that unusable food elements, mainly from mucus-forming foods, caused it.

Mucus-forming foods, according to one of Ehret's articles, include dairy products, eggs, fats, meat, and all starchy foods. In one of the 25 lessons that constitute the text of Mucusless Diet Healing System, Ehret, citing Genesis, called fruits and starchless greenleaf vegetables the natural food of man (see: Bentonite Clay)
