Prof Spira

In 2002, Prof. Spira was a 300-pound former high school football player suffering from multiple ailments such as daily migraine headaches, allergies, regular bouts of bronchitis, sleep apnea, persistent heartburn, etc. After having lost his mother to a terrible string of chronic illnesses when he was in the 6th grade, he grew up assuming that he was genetically destined to be sick his whole life. While studying jazz trombone performance at the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music, he met a jazz drummer named Willie Smart (aka Brother Air) who told him about Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System. Within 6 months of reading the book, Spira lost 110 pounds and overcame all of his major ailments. He was able to throw away his CPAP unit (an oxygen mask that treats sleep apnea) and the medications he'd taken since childhood. Since his transformation, Spira has helped and inspired numerous people to use the mucusless diet to overcome their illnesses through his writings, music, and one-on-one consultations. Prof. Spira in addition to being a professional jazz trombonist, educator, author, and Ph.D. candidate in ethnomusicology at the Ohio State University, he is an expert on the works of Arnold Ehret and the Mucusless Diet Healing System. In 2013, Spira published his first book about entitled Spira Speaks: Dialogs and Essays on the Mucusless Diet Healing System, and in 2014 he released the first every annotated and revised version of Ehret's famous work. He is also the webmaster of www.mucusfreelife.com.
