For some individuals the readings suggested that the person repeat the Apple Diet once a month for 2-3 months. For others the readings suggested a quarterly Apple Diet. In all cases, the readings counseled that the Apple Diet would be effective: “This is to change the activity through the whole alimentary canal.” (3673-1) Sometimes, the short term effect of detoxification is that you will feel worse. This is because toxins that have settled into the tissues are being drawn out into the circulation for elimination. Instead of choosing a commercially-produced modified fast, the Cayce readings offer us a natural and holistic Apple Diet. There was an alternative option for those on an oil-restricted regimen. This one recommended that for four to five days: in the morning, drink only citrus fruit juices slowly; for lunch eat only raw vegetables (such as lettuce, celery, radishes, mustard, spinach, cabbage, tomato, pepper, onion) if desired, a dressing such as mayonnaise (1621-1) or olive oil and apple cider vinegar may be used; and in the evening eat only raw apples. Please consult with a qualified health care professional before starting any fast or new diet program. About the Author: Josephine B.

She joined A.R.E. as part of the organization’s renewed focus on the health information, one of the most important, enduring legacies from the Edgar Cayce readings. Additional Information: While the diet was never suggested for weight loss, it was recommended for its internal cleansing action and ability to remove toxic forces from the digestive system. Cayce told one man that “three days of raw apples only and then olive oil and we will cleanse all toxic forces from any system.” The olive oil is to stimulate the gall bladder to release bile into the intestinal tract to enhance eliminations through the bowel.
