BROTHER AIR (AKA WILLIE SMART JR.)

Mucus-free Life LLC

Brother Air (aka Willie Smart Jr.) is a professional jazz drummer, percussionist, long-term Mucusless Diet Healing System practitioner, fasting innovator, and visionary. Brother Air's health journey began when he attended a presentation given by the civil rights activist and plant-based eating advocate Dick Gregory when he was a teenager. Then, in the early 1980s, Brother Air met a group of people in Cincinnati practicing Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System. After almost 20 years of practicing the mucusless diet, he began to gain profound mastery of the System. In 2001 he did his first year of eating nothing but fruit, and then starting in November of 2003, he began doing periods of long-term juice fasting (8+ months per stretch). Yet, Brother Air does not advocate or teach long-term fasting, but how consistent practice of the principles of Ehret's Mucusless Diet is the key to longevity and taking the lifestyle to the next level.
