===Diet===

Klassen was a [[Orthopathy|natural hygienist]] who recommended a strict [[Fruitarianism|fruitarian]] and [[Raw foodism#Raw veganism|raw vegan]] diet known as "Salubrious Living" which consisted of organically grown fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables.<ref name="Ferber 2004">Ferber, Abby L.

This further means it must be organically grown without the use of chemicals."<ref name="Ferber 2004"/> Klassen argued that humans are [[frugivore]]s and distinguished his fruitarian diet to [[vegetarianism]]. In his book ''The White Man's Bible'', he stated that "we are not recommending a vegetarian diet but a frugitarian diet", which included nuts and seeds as a supply of protein.<ref>Klassen, Ben. (2008). [https://archive.org/details/thewhitemansbible1981 "The White Man's Bible"]. pp. 64-67</ref> However, Klassen himself did not follow all the rules of his health regime. Historian [[George Michael (academic)|George Michael]] has noted that "despite his advocacy of healthy nutrition, some of his associates claimed that in practice Klassen did not actually follow the "salubrious living" regimen, because he often ate [[red meat]] and [[ice cream]]."<ref>Michael, George. (2009). ''Theology of Hate: A History of the World Church of the Creator''. University Press of Florida. p. 74. {{ISBN|978-0813033501}}</ref> (Klassen believed in the full-implementation of Salubrious Living as part of the "advancement-stage" goals of Creativity with the diet being a personal choice for adherents and not as a prerequisite for membership in his group.)

Creativity Alliance continues to advocate Klassen's raw vegan diet and argues against the use of all [[drug]]s, including "artificial medications", in favor of "natural remedies".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230325174734/https://creativityalliance.com/home/salubrious-living/ "Salubrious Living"]. creativityalliance.com.
