liver and kidneys and “ . . . all toxic forces from any system . . . ” (820-2)

      Is a good eliminant for the body

      Gets “ . . . rid of the tendencies for neuritic conditions in the joints of the body . . . ” (1409-9)

      Increases eliminations and cleanses the alimentary canal

      DIRECTIONS

      According to the readings, raw apples are only to be consumed alone, with no other food; however, baked, cooked, or roasted apples are acceptable with other foods. Reading 935-1 states: “ . . . Apples should only be eaten when cooked; preferably roasted and with butter or hard sauce on same, with cinnamon and spice.” Why is this?

      Simone Gabbay, nutritionist and columnist for Venture Inward magazine, says it’s difficult to speculate; perhaps “because the raw apple has such a powerful cleansing effect on the body, it could interfere with the normal process of assimilation of nutrients from other foods.” (Nourishing the Body Temple, pp. 85-86) Elsewhere, the readings describe raw apples “ . . . taken alone as a diet for the eliminations . . . ” (1206-8)

      On December 12, 1926, a fifty-four-year-old woman asked: “Why are apples not good?” The response was:

      In this particular condition, and any condition of this nature {general debilitation, nervous tension, assimilation/elimination incoordination}, the apple produces an acid that produces portion of the bitterness in the system, by the action of regurgitation in the duodenum {first section of small intestine}, produced by the excretions from the pancreas being overcharged by this nature of apples in the system. We have given the reason.

      The strong, cleansing effect of this three-day apple diet is achieved in a fairly straightforward way. Eat as many apples—preferably organic—as you want or need for the three days. If the apples are not organic, they should be peeled. Cayce also stated: “ . . . Beware of apples, unless of the jenneting variety . . . ” (509-2) (See also Testimonials/Results and Additional Information.) Drink plenty of water during that time and coffee, if you wish, but without milk, cream, and/or sugar. While you may stay active during the time of this diet, you should not overtire or strain yourself with strenuous activities.

      On the evening of the third day, just before going to bed, take a dose of pure olive oil. Amounts in the readings range from two to three teaspoons to half a teacup, or half a glass. If you have a liver condition or gallbladder problems, drink only the minimum amount of olive oil. This is a one-time consumption of the oil.

      When you begin to eat again on the fourth day, don’t “ . . . overgorge the system . . . ” (1850-3); eat regularly and normally, but do not choose foods that are too rich or highly seasoned. Some individuals were advised to repeat the three-day diet monthly for two or three months, in order for it to be effective. Dr. Harold Reilly recommends taking colonics during the three days, particularly on the first day, or an enema at the end of the first or second day. If possible, get another colonic or enema in the evening of the third day. These hydrotherapy treatments may help prevent headaches, cramps, or other discomforts that the diet may produce when individuals are detoxifying; otherwise, one may begin to reabsorb the toxins being thrown off from the lower colon. Dr. Reilly also suggests taking a fume or steam bath (unless contraindicated), having a massage, and doing some general exercise during the three days.

      DIRECTIONS FROM THE READINGS

      For a twenty-nine-year-old woman with epilepsy (reading given on December 15, 1937):

      For this, then, as we find, occasionally—not too often—take the periods for the cleansing of the system with the use of the apple diet; that is:

      At least for three days—two days or three days—take nothing except apples—raw apples! Of course, coffee may be taken if so desired, but no other foods but the raw apples. And then after the last meal of apples on the third day, or upon retiring on that evening following the last meal of apples, drink half a cup of Olive Oil.

      This will tend to cleanse the system.

      Raw apples otherwise taken (except at such cleansing periods) are not so well for the body . . .

      543-26

      For a fifty-nine-year-old woman with debilitation and neuritis, stiffness on the left side of her face, and a swollen stomach (reading given on October 19, 1937):

      . . . the regular Apple Diet would be well for the body—but don’t try to work like a horse when you are on the apple diet! or else we will find it will be more detrimental than helpful! But these cleansings will prevent the accumulations of gas, the pressures that make for the neuritis through the portions of the body. But just be consistent.

      307-14

      For a twenty-four-year-old woman with nervous system incoordination, spinal subluxations, and poor eliminations (reading given on February 21, 1944):

      Here, one good eliminant for this body would be to go on the apple diet—at least every three months; that is, eat nothing for three days except raw apples, preferably the Jonathan variety or a kindred variety. Follow this with at least two to three teaspoonsful of Olive Oil; that is, after the three days. This is to change the activity through the whole alimentary canal.

      TESTIMONIALS/RESULTS

      Mrs. [639], who received her second reading from Cayce on August 21, 1934, when she was sixty-three years old, wrote a letter to Cayce dated March 21, 1935:

      “ . . . in your March 1935 Bulletin {former A.R.E. publication} under ‘Health Hints’ {regarding the apple diet} . . . Will you kindly advise me what the Jenneting variety apples are, where they grow, and where they can be purchased . . . ”

      639-2, Report #6

      (See also Additional Information.)

      On April 23, 1935, Edgar Cayce wrote that he had made some inquiries and thought it was the same variety as Delicious, Arkansas Black, and the Russet: “ . . . and there is one, of course, called the original Jenneting. Haven’t tried this out myself as yet but as I usually do am going to try it, for would never want to be the means of giving something for someone that I wouldn’t try myself.” (639-2, Report #6)

      She later reported on her experiences on April 19, 1936:

      “I have been taking the apple diet once a month for three months; I think it a splendid thing and I get along with it very well with the exception that the olive oil makes me so sick at my stomach. I am wondering how it would do to take it {the apple diet} every two weeks for one day and a half with ¼ glass of oil? Maybe that amount of oil wouldn’t affect me so badly. Mr. [550] took it the last time I did but the oil didn’t make him sick. I believe you wrote once that you had taken the diet for half the time prescribed and would like to ask if you used half the amount of oil in doing so.”

      639-2, Report #11

      On May 6, 1936, Edgar Cayce replied:

      “Perhaps you take too much of the olive oil with your apple diet. I only took half a teacup—that, it seems to me, is less than the glass, isn’t it? Have found excellent results with only a day of the diet, and decreasing the oil according to the days taken. Try that and see if you do not have good results.”

      639-2, Report #12

      In one instance, in a reading on himself, Cayce received this information: “Too much picric acid has been a part of the diet here.” (294-194) Gladys Davis made this notation: “I think EC had been on an apple diet for a day; had to stop, he was suffering so.” This reading on September 29, 1939, was given several years after the above correspondence.
