Breuss diet

Breuss Diet is a dietary regimen developed by the Austrian naturopath Rudolf Breuss. The diet is based on a 42-day fast, during which the individual consumes only a specific vegetable juice blend and herbal teas. Breuss claimed that this diet could cure various illnesses, including cancer. However, these claims have not been scientifically validated and the diet is considered controversial.

History

The Breuss Diet was developed by Rudolf Breuss, an Austrian naturopath, in the mid-20th century. Breuss believed that diseases were caused by the body's inability to properly metabolize proteins, and that fasting could help the body heal itself. He claimed that his diet had cured thousands of people of various illnesses, including cancer.

Diet Plan

The Breuss Diet lasts for 42 days. During this time, the individual consumes only a specific vegetable juice blend and herbal teas. The juice blend is made from beetroot, carrots, celery root, potatoes, and radishes. The individual is also allowed to drink a specific blend of herbal teas, which are believed to support the body during the fast.

Criticism and Controversy

The Breuss Diet has been criticized by medical professionals for its lack of scientific evidence. There is no scientific research to support Breuss's claims that his diet can cure cancer or other illnesses. In addition, the diet is extremely low in calories and nutrients, which can lead to malnutrition and other health problems. The diet is also considered dangerous for individuals with certain health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
