The Apple Cleansing Diet

Easy three or four day "apple cleanse" that helps improve assimilation
and elimination for anyone regardless of whether they're in relatively
good shape or needing to launch into a more vigorous therapeutic
program.

By Margaret Grady, Dept. of Education, A.R.E. Clinic

Apple Cleansing Diet

Most people are toxic to some degree, and we have found that a good
cleansing routine with the apple-diet regimen is the first step toward
improving assimilation and elimination for anyone. It is good for the
liver, the gallbladder, and the colon.

If one is reasonably well, the detoxification will bring about a
feeling of well-being and provide inexpensive and effective insurance
against disease.

If one is not well, the apple-cleansing regimen is an excellent
beginning of a therapeutic program.

The cleansing apple diet is recommended for any case where toxicity
could be a cause or contributing factor to such problems as headache,
debilitation, neuritis, arthritis, constipation, incoordination of
assimilation and elimination, subluxations, anemia, stroke, pinworms,
etc.

Check with your doctor to see if there are any contraindications
before you begin this cleansing diet.

Apples Only

For three or four days, eat nothing but raw early-ripening apples,
like Jonathans, red or yellow Delicious, Oregon Reds, Arkansas Black,
or Sheep Nose. You may prefer organically-grown apples. You should try
to eat at least six apples each day.

Olive Oil

Cayce recommended that at the end of the third day of the Apple Diet,
you should drink down about 2 oz. of olive oil.

Supplemental Treatments

On the first or second day of the diet, it would be a good idea to
have a colonic if you can.

During the diet, it would also be a good idea to wear a castor oil
pack overnight. Also, steam cabinet treatments, exercise, and drinking
lots of water are all helpful in flushing out the toxins that are
being released. You don’t want to reabsorb them!

What to Drink

Apples have a lot of fiber and will absorb water... so be sure to
drink plenty of water!

You may drink some coffee if you desire, but do not put milk, cream or
sugar in it.

Tell him it's new-age bullshit and he's going to be very constipated
and probably very hungry.

Drinking olive oil?  Come on.

If your friend is so insistent, at least encourage him to use a
multivitamin (and perhaps a fiber supplement) while he's on this
"diet" so he doesn't completely wreck his nutrition for the duration.

An occasional fruit purge isn't unhealthy.  Doing it for the reasons
listed is crazy.  So the reason he's considering it matters.

Essential fatty acids.  Should not be an issue in such a short plan.
Might help reduce the hunger triggered by the fruit purge but for
such a short plan it's a bit pointless.  Sounds like it's to add
complexity to make the wierd claims sound better.

Thanks Doug and James for your response. I passed the information to
my friend. He'll think about his diet again. I suggested he eats a lot
of apples, and only apples, until the dinner time at which time he can
have proteins (fish, chicken, or meat) with good and healty veggies.

Why only apples?  I would say eat plenty of fruit, of all types, rather than
just one.

Clearly this is not something that you can or should do long term, but there
is very little "bad" that fruit can do, and you'll get something slightly
different from each.
