List of Pus, Acid, and Mucus Forming Foods

Posted on by Prof. Spira

What foods are pus, mucus, and acid-forming? In the Mucusless Diet Healing System, Prof. Arnold Ehret asserts that pus and mucus-forming foods are the foundation of human illness and should not be eaten. In short, pus and mucus-forming foods include meat, poultry, dairy, grains, starches, and fats. Yet, it must be understood that just knowing what these foods are is not enough. It is important to know how to rationally and safety TRANSITION off of the most dangerous pus and mucus-formers over a longer period of time.

The word “mucus” is from the Latin mucus which means “slime, mold, snot, etc.” Mucus refers to a thick, viscous, slippery discharge that is comprised of dead cells, mucin, inorganic salts, water, and exfoliated cells. It also refers to the slimy, sticky, viscous substance left behind by mucus-forming foods in the body after ingestion. The word “pus” is from late 14c. Latin “pus” (related to puter [putrid] “rotten”), from Proto-Indo-European*pu- compared to Sanskrit. puyati “rots, stinks,” putih “stinking, foul.” Pus often refers to a thick white, yellowish, or greenish opaque liquid produced in infected tissue, consisting of dead white blood cells, bacteria, tissue debris, and serum. It also refers to the substance that dead animal flesh is chemically changed to after being consumed or while rotting in one’s digestive tract. The ingestion of meat and dairy products create pus residue in the body, while starchy and fatty foods are mucus-forming.

The word “mucusless,” or mucus-free, refers to foods that are not mucus-forming. Such foods digest without leaving behind a thick, viscous, slimy substance called mucus. These foods include all kinds of fat-free, and starchless, fruits and vegetables.

All foods that are pus/mucus-forming are acid-forming. The word “acid” is from the early 1600s meaning “of the taste of vinegar,” from French acide (16c.) or directly from Latin acidus “sour, sharp,” adjective of state from acere “to be sour,” from PIE root *ak- “sharp, pointed.” In chemistry it refers to a class of substances whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals to form salts. From a mucusless perspective, pus and mucus-forming foods are understood to be “acid-forming” inside the human body. Such foods create an acidic internal environment that is detrimental to wellness.

In November 2014, we released the first revised and annotated edition of Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System. The following is a list of pus, mucus, and acid-forming foods is similar to the one in this new reference edition of the Mucusless Diet. This is not an exhaustive list, but the most common acid-forming foods.

It must be emphasized that not all of these foods are forbidden on the Mucusless Diet Healing System. Ehret’s “TRANSITION DIET” will show you how to use less harmful mucus-forming foods to get off of the worst ones gradually.

Pus and Very Mucus-forming foods should be avoided from the beginning if possible. But Moderately or Slightly mucus-forming items may be used effectively during the transition. See the TRANSITION DIET section of the Mucusless Diet or Spira Speaks for more details:

What are Deceptive Mucus-Formers?

Here is a list of foods that many people do not realize create mucus:

  • Rice (great for creating glue to bind books, bad for the transition to a mucus-free diet)
  • Avocados (fatty item that may be used on the transition, but are highly addictive. Although technically a fruit, if used it is best to combine them with a mucus-free combination salad or vegetables to aid elimination. However, it is recommended to stay away from them if you are not already stuck to them.)
  • Nuts (Mucus-forming, but may be used on the transition. It is best to eat with dried fruits like raisins to aid with elimination.)
  • Plantains (Starchy)
  • Tofu (Slimy and mucus-forming.)
  • Un-ripened fruits like green bananas (the riper the fruit you eat the better).
  • Corn (It does not eliminate well. When cooked, corn becomes mushy and slimy in the intestines.)
  • Corn chips (Some people use them on the transition, but they are very addictive and do not eliminate well)
  • Beans (They are starchy and mucus-forming. But, they may be used sparingly on the transition within close proximity to green-leafy salads)
  • Starchy Vegetables (Some vegetalbes are starchy and mucus-forming in raw or cooked forms, such as white potatoes. But, many other vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, become almost mucus-free (starchless) after proper cooking.

The Transition Diet

It is very important that people learn how to transition from the most harmful mucus-forming foods to the ones that leave behind the least amount of waste. To learn more about this transitional process, check out the TRANSITION DIET section of the Mucusless Diet Healing System.

    What about the gelatin used to wrap herbs and natural mucus free vitamins-could this be a source of disease and mucus?

      Yes, if that is the path one wants to take, plant-based caps would be the way to go. However, most mucusless diet practitioners pride themselves on being as “natural” as possible and avoid the use of processed supplements. They would rather “eat” the herbs on a salad than in a capsule.

    Prof Spira: Any feedback regarding Goji Berry, Spirulina, Chlorella and other sea algae “Super-foods”, from a mucus-less/acidic perspective?

    Reply
    • Spira says:

      Goji berries are mucus-free. I’m not fan of spirulina or chlorella. Most people use these items as “nutritional” supplements, and Ehret’s work challenges the foundation of such theories and approaches. They do not aid with the removal of cellular wastes, thus they would not be looked at favorably by most mucusless diet practitioners. The only sea vegetables that I find useful are dulse and kelp. I like to put dulse on top of my salads and periodically use kelp granules instead of salt.

    I’m hoping to find a diet and lifestyle to guide my wife and i back to much improved vitality. I am reading Ehret’s book and have found this website to help along with your book, but I am also counseling with a naturopath/herbalist who studied extensively Ayurveda and the food diets based on the 3 dosha body types.

    Could you tell me how you feel about Ayurvedic nutrition and if it is agreeable with your views?

    Thank you.

      Greetings Steve, sorry for the delayed response. Ayurvedic nutrition does not correlate with the mucusless diet very well. From what I’ve read, there are many foods that are considered to be the best that are considered the worst from a mucusless diet perspective. Although, the idea of a specialized transitional approach for each person is important in the mucusless diet, the way of thinking about food and why we eat is totally different from Ayurveda. From a mucusless diet perspective, mucus-forming foods need to be systematically transitioned away from over time. And pus-forming foods should be eliminated as soon as possible (meat and dairy). Overall, I’m sure there are some useful principles and wisdom that can be found within the system’s texts, although I disagree with much of what I read. Peace, Love, and Breath!

    I have be aware of the first book by the author . I was introduce to the muculess diet healing system over 20 years ago. I was in college . I started the practice and continue today with some personal changes. But there was then and still is a question about the statement the Professor made in the original book . He stated the ” white race was an unnatural sick ” race . His justification was related to the color and mucus . I don’t have my copy of the book now , so I don’t remember the page number ,but I am sure you will find the passage about mid way into the original book . I would like to know your opinion on he logic and reasoning for such statement.

      Greetings Adi! Thank you for your question. I do not have the space to get too deep into a discussion about the subject here in the comment section, however I will share a brief explanation from the Annoated, Revised, and Edited Mucusless Diet: “Ehret’s proposition is that skin color and other physiological traits primarily reflect the degree to which a person is internally encumbered with waste on the cellular level. It challenges the popular notion that the radical physical morphology of humans occurred based primarily on adapting to non-tropical climates further away from the equator.” My notes on the role of iron in the blood and my clarification of Ehret’s discussion of eugenics from the Annotated version are also helpful. If you want to have a serious discussion about this, I’d recommend joining our affiliate program and attending an online meetup. These are the kind of topics that we examine (affiliate info). Peace, Love, and Breath!

        Well Put. The explanation is more expansive and softer than the Prof , less crude . Thank you for the more gentle approach to the subject of internal and external factors related to skin color and nutrition , including geographical locations of our ancestors. I have always believed that Power equals Vitality Minus Obstruction , but was a little concerned about the statement in the original Mucusless Diet Healing System , Arnold Ehret.

    Enjoying your wonderful information. Please continue sharing. Just bought your e-books. awesome. My question – how do you properly cook a sweet potato. Thanks.

    Reply
    • Spira says:

      Thank you for the kind words! My favorite way to cook a sweet potato is to back it. I might put it into the oven at about 425 and let it bake for 40-60 minutes, or cut it horizontally (like chips) into thin round pieces, put it on a baking sheet with some oil and spices placed in the oven for about 15 minutes, take it out and flip with a spatula, and then put it back in for about 10 minutes.

    Hello Prof. Spira, thanks for your wonderful work !

    What do you think about lacto-fermented food like beet lacto-fermented juices ? It transforms the starch in grape sugar and was advocated by Ann wigmore ?
    What do you think about isotonic sea water (Quinton) ?

    Reply
    • Spira says:

      I am not a fan of cultured or “lacto-fermented” foods. They are acid-forming and to be avoided as far as I’m concerned. In nature, we prefer ripe fruit over rotten fruit. Why would we want rotten “cultured” foods unless our taste buds are craving something unnatural and acidic? And I’m not a fan of using sea water solutions, particularly for nasal irrigation. I used saline-based things in my nose before the diet, and on the diet there is no use for such a product.

        From our perspective, systemic cleansing and healing are necessary to overcome such issues. There are many people that have used mucus-free healing and fasting to overcome such issues.

    I am eliminating foodsthat cause me to have mucous such as dairy and wheat. I am now eating more re vegetarian but enjoy wild caught salmon but now come to find out is mucous forming.

    I am at a loss as to what to eat now! I only weigh 118 lbs and am not wanting to lose anymore.

    Maybe I will try eating the bark off of the trees around us.

      First, closely read the New Annotated Mucusless Diet Healing System: http://bit.ly/mucusless-diet-amazon. The foundation of what you need to know in order to heal yourself is in the book. And read it with an open mind and willingness to work. You must clean out your system, which can be down with mucus-free foods, short-term fasting, and a few other therepies. Check out the book, and if you feel you need some one on one coaching, check out our consultation services here: http://www.mucusfreelife.com/devalina/mucusless-coaching/.

      You can do it! Just got to commit yourself to make the change, follow the principles outlined in the book, and follow through! Let me know if you have any further questions.

    I would like to better understand the acid section. how can I determine if a substance is acidic and how does that affect the body? I understand that coffee should be avoided. I have gone through a huge struggle getting off it and find it more addictive then alcohol or even cigarettes. on the other hand I don’t feel like tea is addictive at all. With coffee I couldn’t stop myself from having another cup but with tea I can just have one cup and not crave anymore. so what makes tea acidic? is it the ph value or the caffeine that is problematic? what about things like cold brewed tea? that is supposed to have much lower acid content. and what about Japanese matcha green tea. I have a tin of relatively high quality matcha and it is much less bitter then regular green tea. the higher the quality of matcha the sweeter it is supposed to taste. to me it doesn’t seem acidic it tastes similar to drinking spinach juice or something like that. it also has like 10x more theanine than regular tea, witch is a substance that is supposed to counter balance caffeine. hope you get back to me. Im also curious about a bunch of Chinese herbs and tonics that are not classified in the diet. I would like to know how to determine if those are acidic.

      Greetings Antonio,

      Tea is much better than coffee and can be used on the transition. Herbal tea is the best, as it can be alkalizing if the right herbs are used. Conventional tea is just mildly acidic, but not the worst thing in the world to use at all. The caffeine is a stimulant that can harm the nervous system or endocrine glands over time, and it’s best to get your stimulation from fresh fruit or fruit juices. But, like I said, it’s okay for the transition and better than coffee. There are a lot of different types of tea and some may be a bit less acidic than others. In the long run, it is not something I would want to plan on using forever.

      You could get PH papers and do some of your own testing. Make the tea from an herb you want to check out and see where it is. Yet, results are not always perfect unless you have great equipment. And, it is hard to test how the acidity intensifies within the body (or in the case of acid fruits, becomes very alkaline when digested). So, I would get some PH papers and experiment a bit. But overall, a good rule of thumb I use with items in the herbal kingdom is to stay away from things that seem kind of addictive. That usually indicates to me that it is something that will be antagonistic in the long run.

      Peace, Love, and Breath!

    • Spira says:

      The oil, which extracts fatty-acids from the seed, may be mildly mucus or acid-forming. In small quantities it is probably not going to create a bunch of slime, but from a Mucusless Diet perspective, there is not really a good reason to take it. We are not concerned with “nutritional” concepts and supplements, as much as we are with using things that will help eliminate wastes. In the herbal realm, herbs that promote increased circulation and expectoration may be very useful, along with certain essential oils of leaves that particularly sooth the nervous system in cases where people are revitalizing endocrine glands.

    • Spira says:

      I’m not particularly a fan of mushrooms. They do not aid in elimination and have the potential to be acid-forming. Also, in general our body wants to eliminate fungus when possible. If not, we can have a host of issues. Overall, if they are put on a salad I don’t think it’s a big deal. But, I wouldn’t go down the “mushroom-steak” type of road. And on days while being totally mucus-free, I’d probably leave them off the salad.

    Hello. So, going on over a year now I’ve been dealing with digestive issues consisting of upper abdominal tenderness, (like when I lay on my stomach or push with my hands i experience some moderate pain), loose stools, constipation, my stool smells funny, undigested food particles, white coating on my tongue, more frequent urination, and a few others. I saw a doctor and I was advised to drink miralax and eat fruits and vegetables until I achieved a normal bowel movement. It helped remarkably, but I couldn’t stick to the diet long enough because I’m stubborn like most ppl. My diet prior to my digestive problems consisted of Convenience foods like soda, fast foods. Honestly all junk food. I’m 22, I work in the electrical field so I’m tend to buy a lot of foods that are on the go and already prepared. My main breakfast I used to buy from a gas station near my home on my way to work every morning was pizza and Mountain Dew. Every weekend I would go out drinking with my friends. So I strongly believe that constant soda, fast foods, coffee, and alcohol may have led to a congested, mucus filled, impaired, digestive tract. Garlic, fruits, and vegetables are the only things that improve my stools appearance, smell, and size. Once I start eating processed junk food, my stools immediately look bad again and my symptoms come back. Do you think I may possibly have an over abundance of mucus and that the mucus less diet will help repair my digestive tract? If so, how long does it usually take to fully repair and eliminate the build up up mucus and toxins from the body? I’m not planning on eating junk food immediately after healing myself but I want to be able to enjoy an occasional piece of pizza or a piece of cake at a family members birthday party instead of looking like some stuck up health freak that’s “too good for junk food”

      Greetings John! You can basically take the Mucusless Diet Healing System as far as you want or feel you need to. Many of my friends practice it as a lifestyle, but traditionally many people used it short-term to heal themselves of chronic illness. The length of time it would take for you to heal can not be determined ahead of time, as many factors are involved, including you physiology type, how aggressively you detoxify, etc. Definitely read the Annotated Mucusless Diet to check out the system. The key is learning to TRANSITION gradually, so that it does not feel like a shock to your system. If you ever need a private consultation to get a bit deeper into your specific case, check out our coaching packages HERE. Peace, Love, and Breath!

      Ginger is mucus-free. When added to juices or herbal formulas, it can aid in circulation to a certain degree. I’m a fan of adding it to fresh juices.
