Joseph Evers

Joseph Evers (* 1894 ; † 1975 ) was a German country doctor in Westphalia . He is the founder of the diet named after him and has published several books.

Life

The Evers diet was described around 1940. Evers claimed that processed and canned food & health a. is responsible for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). The Evers diet is “a variant of the lacto- vegetarian diet with a focus on raw food” and includes whole grains , fresh fruit and vegetables. This results in the intake of a lot of fiber and vegetable oils . In addition, Evers attached importance to a healthy lifestyle, such as staying in the fresh air, as well as sufficient exercise and Kneipp applications.

From studies of teeth and from human instincts , Evers concluded that humans are fruit and root eater. Evers developed two variants of his diet: the “cure regulation for severe (incurable) metabolic diseases” and the “Evers diet for the cured and healthy”, which also includes raw and lightly seared meat. The recommendations for diets have been changed repeatedly. According to Claus Leitzmann, the recommended consumption of raw milk is problematic for reasons of hygiene. The consumption of raw eggs is no longer recommended today due to the possible salmonella contamination and their arachidonic acid content .

There are no scientific publications to support Evers' claims about the effectiveness of his diet.

The former neurological “Klinik Dr. Evers ”in Langscheid was renamed“ Sorpesee Neurological Clinic ”after more than 60 years.
