Morris Krok (28 April 1931 – October 2005) was a South African author,〔Blatant raw foodist propaganda!, Joe Alexander, Blue Dolphin Publishing, 1990, page 47 "Morris Krok, from South Africa, is another outstanding rawfoodist author, very much of a spiritual bent."〕 publisher and health educator. == Biography == Background Morris Krok was born in Johannesburg〔South African Jewry, Leon Feldberg, Fieldhill Pub. Co., 1976, page 240, "Morris Krok. Director of Company. Born Johannesburg, 28 April 1931, son of Simon and Sarah Krok."〕 and brought up in Durban,〔Survival Into The 21st Century: Planetary Healers Manual, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Omnagod Press, 1979 - 323 pages, “In 1961, Dr. Morris Krok of Durban South Africa, published “Conquest of Disease,” where he reproduced a part of a speech by Dr. Moore, which was written up in: “Life Natural, Ganeshganar, Padukottai, S. Ry, India. Nov. 1960″.〕 South Africa. As a young man, he started to seek solutions for his health problems and was influenced by natural healing writers of the 20th century such as Vincent Priessnitz, Louis Kuhne, Harry Benjamin, Arnold Ehret, Dugald Semple,〔Dugald Semple, The Sunfood Way To Health, Health For All, 1956, 138 pages, "Your food determines in a large measure how long you shall live — how much you shall enjoy life, and how successful your life shall be."〕 George R. Clements, Walter Siegmeister,〔Creation of the Superman, Raymond W. Bernard, Health Research, 1996, Preface (Morris Krok), "This book reads like a fascinating story."〕 Essie Honiball〔The fruit hunters: a story of nature, adventure, commerce and obsession, Adam Gollner, Simon and Schuster, 2008, page 97, "Morris Krok's Fruit: The Food and Medicine of Man relates how he attended a fruitarian lecture with Essie Honiball, author of I Live On Fruit. Asked what one should eat, the answer is: "Fruit, of course."〕 and Johnny Lovewisdom. He also studied new age, occult, esoteric, yogic, spiritual and metaphysical writings from the East. Krok migrated to California to develop his work and writings, dedicating his life to the quest for knowledge about health, vitality and higher consciousness. A regular marathon runner, Krok died from cancer of the leg in 2005,〔http://www.vibranthealthandwealth.com/vibrance/articles/krok.html Who Was Morris Krok?, David Klein, Living Nutrition, Volume 20, 2007, "The man who had written Formula For Long Life and had a small cult-like global following had died of cancer at age 74."〕 blaming "his problem on his terrible diet in his youth and on cooked food temptations from family". Beliefs In the 1950s, a popular South African newspaper featured a story about Krok’s belief that fruit was the ideal food for humankind.〔Who Was Morris Krok? by David Klein Ph.D, Obituary, Living Nutrition, Volume 20, http://www.vibranthealthandwealth.com/vibrance/articles/krok.html〕 In the 1990s and 2000s, David Klein Ph.D., publisher of Living Nutrition, chronicled Krok's famous sayings including "Man will always get colds if he persists in eating large quantities of mucous forming foods in the form of starch, dairy products and animal fats." and "Health is the balance between assimilation and elimination.” in the magazine.〔http://www.livingnutrition.com/fwn/read.php?1,426,429 ‘Life’s Most Transforming Teachings: Morris Krok’s Quest, Morris Krok's Teachings by David Klein Ph.D, Living Nutrition, 9 October 2005〕〔Who Was Morris Krok? by David Klein Ph.D, Obituary, Living Nutrition, Volume 20, http://www.livingnutrition.com/backissues/contents.html#20〕 Central to Krok's thinking was that mucusless foods held the key to good health. In the article, ''A Yogic Perspective''〔''A Yogic Perspective: Light alkalizing foods - the key to endurance and good health'', Morris Krok, Living Nutrition, vol. 6, 1990s〕 he describes how "To heal and avoid illness, one must alkalinize the body through a diet of predominately raw fruits and vegetables." Writings Krok wrote books on detoxification, internal purification, natural living, self-healing, fruitarianism, fasting, living foods, raw nutrition, physical culture, hatha yoga, meditation, deep breathing, higher consciousness, radiant energy, life extension and vitalism. As well as being an author, Krok published several books by other authors including Johanna Brandt,〔The Grape Cure, Joanna Brandt, Durban: Essence of Health Publishers〕 Otto Abramowski〔Water Into Gold, Ernestine Hill, Angus and Robertson, 1965, 291 pages, "Dr. Otto Abramowski was the grandson of a Governor of Warsaw, and had been a surgeon in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, of which he told many a stirring tale."〕 and Theos Bernard, through Essence of Health Publishers. Golden Path Krok's book ''Golden Path To Rejuvenation'' described how a non-toxic diet and the osmotic pressure of rainwater could detoxify and purify the membranes and tissues of the body. Krok believed that internal purification, was the direct and most effective way for a longer and youthful life. He described how not everything humans eat is used by the body, showing how accumulated wastes and toxins caused by an unnatural diet and other substances, result in illness and premature ageing.〔''Experiences in Euphoria'', USA: Living Nutrition, Vol. 7, 1990s "euphoria can only be experienced more often if mucous-forming and toxic foods are not eaten, so that the 24 feet of small intestines and few feet of colon, become scrupulously clean. When these are kept clean, this cleanliness will spill over to the lungs, sinuses, nasal passages and eustachian tubes. What I infer from these experiences is that the wonderful feeling of euphoria, does not depend on a specific vitamin, mineral, supplement or food, but on the thorough natural cleansing of the entire body. Foods that are the big culprits are all starches, dairy products, eating too much of any cooked food, as well as of natural concentrated raw foods such as avocado, nuts, dried fruits and dates."〕 His internal purification programme was designed to help increase longevity and remain youthful.〔''Experiences in Euphoria'', USA: Living Nutrition, Vol. 7, 1990s, "If civilized man puts himself on an elimination program for an extended period of time, he will be shocked by the amount of stored slime that is dislodged and eliminated from the 30 feet of intestines and delicate bronchial tubes of the lungs. As he discovers the principle of detoxification, he will understand why no pill, special food or stretching exercise can clear the large thick, salty, toxic accumulations that foul the body..... The sticky, slimy and toxic substances contained in starchy foods, dairy products and animal foods will in a short time, neutralize hours of physical endeavor."〕 He believed internal cleansing in conjunction with plant foods was the 'golden path'. The book also explained the ''yogic vomit'' technique, a central part of the detoxification regime he endorsed. Legacy Krok was one of a series of 20th-century writers who wrote about fruitarianism, raw nutrition, fasting, detoxification, yoga〔Yoga World Wide, Meenakashi Devi Gitananda, Satya Press, 1972, page 52, "Yoga is expounded in various parts of Africa. Morris Krok and Swami Sahajananda are in South Africa."〕 and higher consciousness.
