Apple Fast

Hi there KewlCat!

I have just been investigating Edgar Cayce 's Apple Fast. Apparently it does wonders for people that want to quit smoking. It is a great detoxifier for anyone...but seems to work particularly well with people with overloaded drugs, nicotine etc in their bodies. Here is what I found:

"If you all really want to quit, there is an excellent method which is often overlooked due to its origins.....It's called the Apple Fast, and came from the very effective psychic readings of Edgar Cayce .

Eat nothing but raw apples for 3 days, supplemented by extra-virgin olive oil - either a tablespoon/day, or a half cup at the end of the fast. The apples contain pectin, which leeches toxins from the blood stream and intestines. It will also leech anything with food value, so don't eat anything else, including vitamins (which serve only to assist in the absorption and digestion of other foods, and are useless by themselves). Drink only distilled water, for the same reason. It's called a fast because, by eating only apples, the body is fooled into a fasting mode, where it starts dumping toxins from the liver, kidneys, and other internal organs, into the bloodstream, where they can be leeched by the pectin. Nonetheless, be prepared to stink and feel grouchy on the 2nd day, due to the release of all the toxins into your system. Best to start on a Friday and finish on a Sunday. You won't want to be around people on the second day.
Eat a minimum of 8-10 apples a day. You'll be sick of them before you're done, but they will remove every bit of nicotine from your system. This method has been used to take people off of heroin WITH NO WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! When you're done, it will be like you never smoked, and the usual sensitivity of a smoker who's quit won't be there either. It won't bother you to be around it because it's no longer within you. The problem with most methods is that, without this cleansing, your internal organs continue to contain nicotine, which is released slowly for as long as 6 months to a year. When it hits the bloodstream in your tongue, you can practically taste it, and the desire is right there, off and on, for months. You can supplement the diet with one other thing, but only if you must, due to weakness, in which case you can add the juice of a lemon to distilled water with a bit of Grade B/C maple syrup (see Master Cleanse Fast). This will strengthen you. This method is an excellent cleansing diet in general, and will produce some weight loss. If you want to maintain the weight loss, stay away from starches in general, white flour, White Sugar , too much salt, and milk.
Break the fast gently, with some yoghurt to replenish the friendly intestinal flora, some cooked veggies a bit later, then follow your appestat (appetite thermostat) from there. Good Luck!

*so, KewlCat...that might be a VERY good way for you to start cleansing! What do you think? A three day apple fast, supplemented by a lot of warm water. Then maybe a rest period where you eat healthy food (many people really want to after they've fasted a bit, like June says). THEN if you're really certain that you want to tackle your health problems why not try either The Master Cleanse Fast and/or a Bowel Cleanse with Bentonite and psyllium? (that cleans out your bowel and WOW does it ever! Of toxins and old fecal matter that is NOT helping you by blocking the assimilation of the nutrients you're taking in!)

It sounds like after some of this cleansing you'll probably want to do a Liver Flush....I'm sure your period will start again once you do that. My friend hasn't had her period since May 2002 (going through menopause)...but when she did the Liver Flush she got her period that morning! The liver has something to do with estrogen...and many women find that they get their periods early when they fast and/or do the liver flush. Many toxins are held in the liver and with the stuff you've been putting into your body...you would do well to do some flushes. But do some cleansing first, see the benefits, then move forward!

You WILL feel better and be Healthy KewlCat!!! Stay determined. Feel like you're bringing in the new healthy You! Out with the old....in with the new healthy you...why not? It can be done!
