    Special thanks to Acala for giving up the use of all Apple products and an Honorable Mention to presence for being such an avid apple eater - it doesn't sound like he needs a cleanse.

    Get well, Lucille.

    I'm starting this now since I work overnight. Hope the apples give me the energy to survive the usual graveyard shift... I made it earlier this year, so time to see if I can do it again!

    Good luck to the rest of y'all doing this.

    Woooo!

    Gonna start on my first juicy apple now. Feels good to be doing this again, I remember after I finished the cleanse the first time I felt great afterwards. Can't wait to get that feeling in my system again. Might have to get some coffee myself to get through my shift in a few hours! Much better than the usual Monster energy drinks I wolf down...

    Day 1: 2 apples, 2 cups of black coffee, water

    Felt great all day, took a detox bath, slept like a baby,and woke up feeling refreshed. I had a cup of black coffee and a glass of water then I went for my run. I had an apple and another few bottles of water when I got home. I think I'm going to have some cinnamon on an apple for dinner.

    Keeping busy on the second day helps...I found the second day to be the hardest. Keep up the good work!

    Lucille? How are ya hon?

    Day One (yesterday): 3 apples, 4x16 oz of water, 1 8oz glass of Bolthouse Green Goodness, and all my usual supplements. Did fine until I had to make dinner, then I started feeling weak and deprived, what a baby, but I stuck it out. Had to take Excedrin Migraine for the caffeine withdrawal in the morning. And I took 1 Excedrin with sleep aid last night. I had mild stomach cramping in the evening, similar to the last time I did this.

    Sidebar: I hastily committed to this and forgot that I had juiced a couple of gallons of fruits and veggies for Mark and I this week, and had made dinner plans with friends for tonight. I also bought a gallon of raw milk earlier in the week. I chalk this up to old age. hah... So, I froze the milk, as well as one of the gallons of juice, and postponed the dinner plans until next week.

    I am sick and jealous, thanks for asking! You all are being cleansed and will be feeling great and looking gorgeous, and here I sit stewing in toxins, hacking like I have consumption. I hope I'm better next week.

    No, it doesn't really make you poop a lot. I had normal movements, but I knew it worked when I wasn't pooping just apples on Day 3.

    Deb, you can drink black coffee!

    Let's just say, every fast I've tried makes me irregular. Not sure why that is.

    How many apples did you eat on day 2? It sounded like you only had 2 apples on day one, which is ok if that's all you felt like having, but I would think more apples would push more out of your system, maybe it will take a couple days.

    The answer is no! I also thought I'd be making several trips a day to the restroom when I did the fast. But no, I didn't make a bowel movement until the third day, and that was a small one.

    Good luck, and keep up the good work!

    Day 1: 2 apples, 2 cups of black coffee, water

    Day 2: 2 apples, 1 cup of coffee and lots of water

    I'm not hungry but when I went to get an apple out of the fridge for dinner I think I heard that box of Franzia Chillable Red say, wtf?

    If you want to do a relatively easy, simple fast that really clears out the toxins pretty quickly this is the fast for you!

    Edgar Cayce recommended 3 day Apple Fasts to hundreds of people to 'cleanse all toxic forces from any body' and said that fasting is one of the most effective ways of preventing disease. He himself fasted on apples for 3 days three times a year.

    This Apple Fast provides not only the benefits of the malic acid in apples, but also gives you large amounts of natural pectin fiber to cleanse the intestinal tract. The pectin leeches toxins from the blood stream and intestines and will leech anything with food value so do not eat anything else and do not take vitamins at this time. (Edgar Cayce suggests 3 week breaks from vitamins anyway so that your body doesn't become dependent on them and stop making it's own vitamins)

    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.

    Be sure to drink lots of warm water so that the toxins can be carried out of you more rapidly.

    It is very simple:

    1. Eat only organic apples all day long.

    I buy as many different varieties as I can to mix things up a bit and I usuallly eat 4 to 10 apples depending on my hunger. Don't worry about how many you eat. When you're feeling hungry simply eat an apple and your hunger subsides. I like to cut my apples into quarters and core them...much nicer!

    2. Drink warm water all day long.

    This is key! I always fill up a glass wine bottle with half cold water and then half boiling water and keep it with me or near me whenever I'm at home. Just get into the habit of drinking warm water. Cold water isn't good for digestion and elimination - but warm water stimulates peristalsis.

    3. Do this for 3 days.

    4. On the night of the third night take 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

    This was Edgar Cayce's idea way back when (before Hulda Clark made liver flushes popular) and is based on the same principle as the liver flushes that are popular now. When you don't eat any fat for days, your liver and gallbladder store up bile. When you flood your system with fat (olive oil) all at once like that - your gallbladder and liver release all the stored bile and push out the cholesterol stones that have formed.



    Note: pay attention to how you feel during this fast and what part of your body (if any) feels achy. Toxins are releasing! Be kind to yourself during the fast. Let any emotions that have been pent up be leeched out of you along with all the other toxins. Let it all go, let it all out...

    I suggest keeping a journal during the fast to see what bubbles up and needs your attention. Remember that you are cleansing yourself of all unwanted toxins: emotional, mental and physical.

    Day Three (so far): Pot of black coffee, 4 water bottles and an apple (this was a big apple)


    I thought I was breezing through Day 2 but I started having an intense craving for cheese last night so I went to bed early, around 8:30. Unfortunately, I woke up around 3:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I drank a pot of black coffee, 2 water bottles, and went for a run when the sun came up. I ended up only doing a mile because I got really dizzy. So I came home, drank more water, and ate an apple. The dizziness is gone now but I feel tired, achy, and a little geeked from all the coffee this morning. I have to say, I'm surprised I haven't felt hungry on this cleanse.

    Ha! Nope, all that emotional toxin is contained, ain't no way I'm opening that Pandora's Box.

    Apples really are filling! That is a lot of coffee. LOL You shouldn't be running either! No wonder you felt dizzy. You're supposed to take it easy, rest, and mediate (if you're into that).

    You're almost there! Don't forget your olive oil tonight, and eat light and bland tomorrow.

    Donnay, is next Tues. good for you?

    And sorry but nope! A few tablespoons of organic olive oil is what he called for.
