Alias claim

I found this link that seems to claim that "Ehret" was really a pseudonym for Benedict Lust and/or for Fred Hirsch. http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0201hyglibcat/020113Ehret/020113bibliographic.html

Anyone know this?

I just read the page and don't see anywhere on it where they say so... They say they published the books, not wrote them.
"Ehret is worthy of inclusion in this library, even if "Ehret" was really a pseudonym for Benedict Lust and/or for Fred Hirsch. It seems to me that there is something about "Ehret" that lends to antagonistic faction and disputiveness." [1]
Cheezerman 05:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A photo of Ehret and Hirsch appears in the book The Cause and Cure of Human Illness, along with many other photos of Ehret. If Ehret was a pseudonym of Beneidct Lust/Fred Hirsch, where is the proof for the assertion made by soilandhealth.org.Zanze123 (talk) 16:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Life of Arnold Ehret

Are there any non-primary sources for his early life? A lot of the information presented in the "early life" and "later life" sections sounds suspect to me, but I can't find any additional sources to verify the Child source which doesn't seem to satisfy WP:RS. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 22:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly do you question? What issue with the Child source? One of the German books in the publications section has a link - and the book contains correspondence to and from Ehret. There is a book about the Ascona Colony by Robert Landmann. Also one by Andreas Schwab. Ehret appears in both. The books contain photos of Ehret. Ehret wrote 2 articles in the journal Lebenskunst in 1911. There is also a testimonial by Paul Liberner of Bavaria in the magazine Lebeskunst, number 9, 1912. The magazine Die Sonne on July 15, 1912, nr. 14p 109 and 110 has an article by Dr Katz, owner of a Natural Healing Center in Stuttgart about Ehret. Ehret also appeared in the Vegetarischen Warte, date unknown. According to Gordon Kennedy's article Still Ehret, his father was a farmer who built his own farm machinery, hence cause and effect.

Scientific Claims

Can anybody clarify what the nitrogenous-albumin metabolic theory is and what Ehrets "findings about food values and pH values" are? The way it's written now is confusing and it feels unfinished. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Read Mucusless Diet book - for explanations of the metabolism theory, food values and pH values. See also Ragnar Berg's Tables. See also Thomas Powell's book Fundamentals on vitalism and Corwyn Samuel West's book The Golden Seven Plus One on lymphology.Zanze123 (talk) 16:18, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Every time I try to make suggestions on Wikipedia I feel like I am treated with disdain, but here goes ~ the statements about the side effects or possible adverse effects of detoxification don't appear to have a reference. What is the basis of these claims? Or am I missing something? It lists a lot of extreme outcomes. I just wondered. Thanks, don't shout at me, I'm going through a rough time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.180.169.250 (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edits

Hi Zanze123. I have taken an editorial proofreader's tour through the article and spruced up some smaller details. I have fixed some spacing and punctuation issues around refs, per MoS. (No spacing before a ref, and punctuation is always placed before, not after, the ref.) I also added default spacing around the headings. These are invisible changes, but they make it easier to find headings when editing. I fixed a few typos I noticed and a few refs that were incomplete. There are still several bare html links in the refs that need fixing. I'll let you do that. I also left a couple editorial notes for things that need to be done. Please look at the diff to my edits very carefully and notice those notes. Good luck. -- Brangifer (talk) 02:25, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed that Ehret's views are linked to many other alternative medicine advocates, many of whom are noted pushers of pseudoscience and fringe POV. There is no form of criticism included in the article, which means it is in violation of NPOV. Can you please include the POV of his critics? That will make the article more complete. -- Brangifer (talk) 02:28, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edits, criticisms and POV issues now addressed. Zanze123 (talk) 22:44, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV and language editions

This article could do with a review by an uninvolved expert to ensure that WP:NPOV is maintained, as I wasn't convinced that the style of writing or claims made is neutral. Secondly, I removed the list of translations/international editions. If it is included at all, this information should be a footnote to the English edition (where there is an English edition) in the Selected bibliography. Which brings us on to a third point, only notable/important works should be included here. Please add WP:RS to show this. This is not to criticise the whole article, and obviously a lot of work has gone into this. Thanks, Verbal chat 21:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted entire paragraphs without discussion. Please provide comprehensive justification on the Talk page for the paragraphs you deleted. Also explain why only notable/important works should be included when many other authors have all works listed whether or not they were all notable/important; and the same with international editions. ThanksZanze123 (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions.

1. Please put the pronunciation of Ehret.

2. The word "pulse" (beans, etc.) is extremely obscure in North America, and I suggest replacing it with "legumes".

Overall, a good article, in my opinion.77Mike77 (talk) 05:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:37, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

father and grandfather

a person living in st. georgen where ehret was born provided me with a birth document which i just inserted into the article. this document also states that arnold's father was a farmer, his grandfather a vet. i suspect the source with the biography is wrong. Maximilian (talk) 08:44, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, we need published sources, per WP:SOURCE. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Arnold Ehret, German birth document
i'm familiar with the dispute about published and unpublished sources. in the german wikipedia we tend to accept official certificates like, in this case, the handwritten entry in ehret's village birth registry. it's a public document. if most of the literature about ehret was published in the US (and not in germany), i assume that one author copied the (wrong?) birth date from the other, neglecting checking the original birth document. the 29th, to my knowledge, was the day of his baptism. Maximilian (talk) 15:29, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Death

The date should be changed from 9 to 10 October. So it's stated in Arnold Ehret Certification of Vital Records [1] Arnold~itwiki (talk) 20:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
