About the author
Ben Klassen
6 books25 followersBen Klassen was a farmer, school teacher, hard rock nickel miner, electrical engineer, inventor, realtor, Florida State Republican Legislator and the founder of Creativity. His intense interest in the Laws of Nature, Race and Religion polarized into a new religion for the White Race, a task his wide and diverse background seemingly prepared him for over a lifetime.
Creativity is strongly reinforced by an overwhelming mass of substantiated evidence. They are based on the eternal Laws of Nature; they are based on the lessons and experience of history; furthermore; they are based on logic, common sense and reality, not myth and fantasy. No other religion can honestly make this claim.

"A SOUND MIND in a SOUND BODY in a SOUND SOCIETY in a SOUND ENVIRONMENT."
Interesting health book that takes a holistic approach and doesn't only focus on diet and exercise, but also such things as how modern shoes are detrimental to a natural gait and going barefoot to strengthen the structures of the foot. How tooth decay are largely a consequence of modern food in both man and animals. How you kan exercise your eyes in order to improve and keep your eyesight with age.
The recommendations in general are very good and are focused on prevention of disease and staying healthy and injurie free. "The causes of toxemia are numerous. Fortunately, we do not have to determine them. We need only to adopt our correct human dietary, expose our bodies to the sun as needed, breathe fresh pure air, get adequate rest and sleep, ingest only pure water, maintain emotional equilibrium - in short, we must observe the essential influences and factors of health. If we carefully cultivate health practices we, as with animals, will instinctively shun the causes of toxemia which bring on crises of disease. If we live healthfully we will enjoy freedom from disease. We will have superb health and what it begets: a long life and prolonged youth."
"The all-important rule to remember in exercising is to increase the various movements in progression. The first exercises should be relatively mild and short of duration. Each successive day you may use heavier exercises over a longer period of time. Starting to exercise perhaps five to ten minutes per day with light, simple movements, you may gradually, after a period of weeks or months, reach the point where you can exercise a half-hour to an hour a day. Of course no set rules can be laid down as to the rate of progression. This must always depend upon the individual. Some, who have always possessed reasonably strong bodies, can progress very rapidly. For others, particularly those who possess a history of weakness and disease, several months may be required before the heaviest forms of exercise, such as weight-lifting and gymnastics, should be indulged in for any appreciable length of time."
The book recognises the problem with industrialized food production and distribution. "By simply stopping the production of many modernized foods and increasing the use of unrefined foods the health of the entire nation could be raised to a much higher level, automatically solving many of the problems now keeping our doctors and dentists busy."
And advocates for fasting both for bodily health and mental clarity. "Fasting is of supreme importance in remedying the diseases of the body, that it is really the most rapid and effective means of doing this. It is often called "the fast way to health" and is recommended for those who desire to become well in the shortest possible time."
But there are also many falsehoods as well throughout the book such as most nuts having a "complete amino acid profile", that walking is useless as physical exercise to improve health, that you only need 20 to 50 grams of protein a day and how vitamin D is dangerous in "large doses" or that "creatine, is a distinct poison. The amount of this material found in a quart of beef tea is, according to the late Prof. Gautier, capable of killing nine guinea pigs if given in subcutaneous injections".
In my opinion the dietary recommendations given are the most questionable. To avoid all animal products and that "the really healthy plant eaters— those who possess the finest bodies and who are highly immune to disease— are the fruitarians. The fruitarian diet is composed of the products of the plant kingdom which are delicious and appealing to our taste in their natural uncooked condition. As fruits, vegetables and nuts are the foods which meet this qualification in an ideal manner they are the primary foods used by the fruitarian."
I think this kind of diet would be severely lacking in both fats and protein, not to mention death would be preferable to this type of extreme restrictive eating. "THE IDEAL DIET In view of all the preceding facts it becomes apparent that plant foods are not only capable of supporting life when used as the sole source of nutritive matter but that they are able to support life in a manner which permits the finest physical development and the greatest freedom from disease. Man is a frugivorous animal and thrives best upon the fruitarian diet. Throughout most of his history he appears to have used other diets but he hasn't lived well upon them. He has survived it is true, but we are interested in more than mere survival. We want optimum health, the very highest that can be built. To acquire that, we must recognize our nutritional needs and these call for a fruitarian diet." In no way is this diet conducive to optimal physical or mental health and performance. My guess is the only reason this sort of diet would show positive health effects in the short term is caloric restriction.
Ultimately it is more of curio but not really something to live by.
