Edgar Cayce recommended eating apples for three days in order to detoxify and purify the body. After doing so, one should feel energetic and full of vitality. According to Cayce, the Apple Diet alkalizes the system and helps bring relief from chronic aches and pain. It is important to eat the right type of apples. Cayce referred to these as the "jenneting" varieties, which means apples which ripen on or before St. John's Day, which is June 24th.
“"Drink plenty of water, and follow the three-day diet with the big dose of olive oil." (1409-9)”
According to Cayce, raw apples should be eaten alone and not combined with other foods. When eating apples in order to detoxify the body, eat at least five or six apples each day, drink plenty of water and rest. It is as simple as that.
At the end of day three, follow up with two to three teaspoons of cold-pressed olive oil. If you are on an oil restricted diet, continue eating apples for another day or two instead.
Remember to rest. Do not attempt the apple diet when you will be busy. Choose a time when you have nothing to do other than rest and relax.
Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. It is advice given by Edgar Cayce while in a trance state. Follow your own intuition in regard to the Apple Diet.
So what is so special about apples anyway? According to contemporary research, apples are a source of fiber (soluble and insoluble), phytochemicals and Vitamin C, as well as quercetin and pectin. Quercetin is a flavonoid with antioxidant and inti-inflammatory properties. Pectin is a soluble fiber believed to help lower LDL cholesterol and help prevent chronic disease.
Apples are best eaten raw as when heated there is a loss of Vitamin C as well as beneficial enzymes. When juiced, most of the flavonoids and fiber are lost as well.
