I just happened to stumble upon this forum because I am currently sick and discovered that eating an apple helped to relieve the congestion, so I was curious if it was common knowledge. The itchy feeling at the back of your throat may have been related to acid reflux. After reading your post I may limit how many I eat at a time because I have suffered from really bad acid reflux in the past. Thank you for posting. This information should be very helpful.

With all this talk about the healing properties of certain fruit seeds, I have a question. Has anyone been putting whole Apples skin, SEEDS and all in their smoothies for years? I know someone personally who has been doing this for at least ten maybe fifteen years. And she gets great doctors reports though she does not give the credit to the apple seeds, they are just part of the fruit not to be wasted.
I'm asking this question because in my interest trying to learn about amygdalin, at least one site said don't put apple seeds in your smoothie. But it seems to me that in the absence of a warning sticker on the apple, this friend has stumbled on a healing helper. So the question is, "Has anyone been using the whole apple in your smoothie"?

Re: Treating Cancer with Apples. Not sure if that could be claimed as a specific cure BUT I seem to recollect that the well known Dr. Jarvis, who wrote extensively on the many and various attributes of ACV, recommended utilizing the whole apple: skin, pith, seeds and core. Was this his secret perhaps? It was a very long time ago when I read his book on ACV so DO check up on this. Use organic apples naturally! Also, many years ago, we had a Doctor around here who sometimes put his difficult patients on an apple and milk diet for days at a time. He also "bullied" them into exercising, taught them "correct thinking patterns" (don't you just love it?) and fed them wholesome food. Apparently, he achieved wonderful results with some chronic cases. He had had a "Road to Damascus" experience and jumped ship from being an M.D. to becoming a "naturopath" before the title was more widely known or maybe he just went in for "Green Prescriptions"? His name was Dr. Ulric Williams.

Hi HisJewel,
I have been putting Granny Smith Apple seeds in my smoothie for 3 years, ever since I saw a Vita mix demo at our Whole Foods store. The lady who was making delicious smoothies for us to sample cut the whole apple, seeds and all into the blender. She said seeds had were powerhouse of nutrients, capable of growing into trees and throwing them away was a huge waste of valuable nutrients. I now put lemon seed and papaya seed ( you can wash, dry and store them in the freezer) in my smoothies. I've read online that avocado seed can also be dried (outer casing removed) and powdered and used in smoothie.

This is great! Eating the whole apple three years in a smoothie and you' re still here. Praise God! My friend has been eating the whole apple in a smoothie, over a decade she is older than me, and more youthful than me. But I'm about to catch up, with her age and youthfulness, laughing out loud. That's why I'm checking out these seeds.
Also thank you for the info on the other fruit seeds, that's something I can try now.

Hi HisJewel,
You are very welcome. I forgot to add that the Granny Smith apples I use in my daily smoothie are ALWAYS organic. As are the lemon seeds. The papaya seeds are from conventional fruit. I've never seen organic papayas at Whole Foods or Trader Joe - at least in my area.

I ate the whole thing!
Being inspired by Michael, Tina and a friend of mine I decided to test the whole apple out. It's only been a four days but interesting.
Lucky for me my Supermarket just happened to have organic apples on sale. I have to admit I felt like the electric lady simply because I ate the whole apple. The first and second day I ate one apple as an evening snack. Out side of feeling good for eating better did not know anything different to contribute to the apple. Day three, I ate two apples and my regular meals and things still seemed the same. And now day four, that's when I noticed the detox took effect. I realized that I had a BM after each apple.
On the fourth day I had only breakfast and 3 apples one for lunch, snack and dinner. Along with the apple I had to drink plenty of water. As I was very thirty. Every hour I had a bottle of water. The Whole apple worked like a diuretic and a laxative for my body system. It was like an unexpected detox.
It was good that I stayed in on that fourth day. Well no need for me to be in a hurry. I will go back to one apple. I'm just trying to build my immune system so my hair can grow faster.

Well, that is very interesting and thanks for being inspired but I have noticed in life that keen jokers have a tendency to go overboard in the questionable assumption that, "If a little bit of something does you good, then a whole lot more must be better"! Um?? However, apropos that, in another note from "Down Under", we once had a farmer down here who got into a whole truck-load of pain with gall stones even though he was built like an oak tree. We noted that he would often brag about eating seven or eight apples each day and that struck us rural philosophers as being a trifle excessive. Could there be a possible connection or was that a co-incidence I wonder? Short term use is probably O.K. Don't get me wrong though, apples are the new secret weapon. Dare I say otherwise on this Site!?

Hi Michael,
I love your stories. Are they really true? I am guilty of being one of those who goes overboard if they think something will work. But I do, add watchfully.
I am also drinking at least one glass of lemon water. I have read that lemons keep gall stones from forming.
When I can eat the next apple without running to the rest room I know I can have two a day.
And truly, health-wise, I feel much better today than yesterday!
I got the courage, can't stop me now.
Thanks again

Well Hi there H.J. of N.Y! How's the Big Apple? Yep, the "Oak Tree" still lives so I guess he survived all those apples! But I wonder about whether some of these "flushes" can achieve the fantastic results claimed by their Gurus in such a wonderfully short period of time? For sure my foggy brain is not cluttered or clouded by any academic medical training which might get in the way of common sense.... My First Aid Certificate expired years ago! Having said that, (here goes) Gall Bladder/Bile Stones can do some serious mischief if a body self- medicates for too long, gets into a bad space and then finds that the hospital is closed at the week-end. Bad Stuff always happens on a Friday evening around here including my twins deciding to arrive on a Saturday. Our expert delivery guy was out at his favorite restaurant. "Go figure"! No matter, we do stuff ourselves around here. I digress but you get my drift. Maybe we ought to start with changing lifestyles, as bile troubles have a nasty habit of repeating themselves. Cut down on the fatty stuff. Next, get into the ACV habit on a regular basis. By all means juice with Beetroot, Carrots, Cucumber, Vitamin C and turmeric. The beetroot and cucumber are great for both the liver and gallbladder and the carrots have lots of vitamin C which beefs up the immune system. Cucumber juice is "Cool" anyway. The Queen must know something with all those cucumber sandwiches. Oh yes, she is seriously into homeopathy too! Oh, and corgis as well. Not sure about the significance of that last one though. And here's the thing, how to get anything remedial inside that pesky gall bladder would surely be difficult AND some "stones" could be classified as "soaps". Here I must be a little indelicate .. were yours floaters or sinkers?

Greetings Tina of Princeton,
Learning how you used various organic fruit seeds, I decided to study the lemon. Which I have used the juice of from time to time.
I have suddenly got on the seed venture when I learned about apricot seeds and that apple seeds had the same healing elements. So while chewing on my apple seeds I studied the lemon.
I learned that lemons are not just Alkalizing, they also heal many of our bodies ailments. And I tell you I drank this mixture and "Bam" The Lord touched me! I can not think of a better way to say it.
I have been silently fighting shingles for several months. (mostly with Hydrogen Peroxide and Castor oil, Olive Leaf capsules, and Lysine). But the shingles seemed to have left a Tingly feeling. My scalp felt itchy (so I washed with backing soda the itch would leave a while), and even my face felt tingly. Never experienced anything like it in my life.
Now back to lemons, As I mentioned to Michael, I do have a habit of over doing things. But I did study up on the subject of lemons, and read about juicing the whole lemon.
I could not afford all ingredients for the lemon smoothie, but here is my drink. Buy organic lemons, wash them with pure water if you can find it. Put about a cup of water in your juicer, one or two whole cut lemons seeds and all, add a teaspoon of raw honey if desired. I also added a pinch of baking soda.
I started the lemon drink on fifth day of my whole apple venture. The tingly feel flew and has not returned. My scalp is no longer itchy.
Just so you know, I drank the whole lemon drink. I did not put it on my head, though I have heard that some people do.
Also When I had stated eating the apples four days before I started the whole lemon drink, I took a break from my other supplements. I am now easing back into my vitamins and supplements.
I No longer need the Shingles treatment. There is presently no more stinging, burning or itching.
EC please also add this to lemon section.
Thank You,

Well Hi there H.J. from N.Y..... just a short note to follow on from last time. You should juice one beetroot, one mid-sized cucumber and three carrots. (The red, the green and the orange). Then take a glass of this twice a day for the good of your liver, kidneys immune system and gall bladder. They may thank you for it. Even if they are ungrateful enough not to say so, it will do some parts of your constitution some good for sure. My consultation fee invoice is in the mail.
Eat better, live longer and prosper.

Thanks Michael,
One, the Red (Beetroot), one, the Green (cucumbers, and 3 Orange (carrots of cause). Got it!
One of my friends is greatly in need of a liver boost. I think she will try this. She is scared to try the whole apples with me. Tho' I may munch alone, I'm munchin' on.

Hello there HisJewel,
Glad that lemon, seeds and all, are working for you. I've also had success with growing them too. The plants are tiny, nothing like ORH's stunning produce, but they are healthy. Try the papaya seeds for getting rid of parasites. There is a ton of info about it on line.

Look what found,
While looking up cures for a fatty liver, I somehow ended up in the Coconut Oil section and guess what this apple story shared with us by, Bill from Calgary Alberta may very well be true.
In from EC's Poster Bill of San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines 1245 posts
As he replies to someone, He seems to advise people with liver ailments to take care of liver health before heavy detoxing. Regarding the Liver, He wrote:
Hi R... I forgot to fully address your heavy detox problems:
Whenever you have a detox overload problem -- more properly recognized as a Herxheimer Reaction by medical science -- it really doesn't matter whether you successfully kill alot of the pathogens causing your ailment if your liver is over stressed or becoming diseased because it cannot cope with removing and excreting the debris and toxins from the body. An example of this is Stage 4 cancer. You can successfully kill billions of cancer cells but if you liver is diseased and cannot clear the debris or poisons and toxins, then the liklihood is that the cancer victim may well die of cachexia (starvation), morphine overdose or from the cancer. All three of these outcomes can result from a weakened or diseased liver.
Various alternative therapists have recognized this as key to healing the body. If your excretory pathways are clogged and polluted, you're immune system will remain depressed and you will never heal. Dr Gerson from the Gerson Cancer therapy wisely recognized a healthy liver as a key factor in his cancer and tuberculosis therapies.
Dr Gerson did a famous experiment with two rats. One rat had bone cancer and the other rat was completely healthy. He connected up the arteries and veins of both rats so the blood of the healthy rat ran through the sick rat and vice versa.
The outcome was spectacular. Instead of the healthy rat catching the cancer as you might think, the reverse happened and the sick rat was completely healed.
This proved outright that with a healthy immune system, even cancer will be defeated. And the major organ that he focused upon to tune up the immune system was the liver -- which is the chemical factory of the body.
Which is why I have advised treating your liver with various simple but effective therapies in order to boost your immune system while simultaneously attacking and removing your pathogen problems. This will boost and quicken healing time as well as boost the immune system.

I googled this and found the following:
1) I'm definitely NOT promoting the waxing of fruit/veggies, but per this one link, "Waxing apples allows them to be picked earlier and stored longer, ".... "A side effect [of earlier picking] is that there are fewer minerals and vitamins. The peels and seeds (for the few of us who eat them) are the most vitamin-rich parts of the apple. So I don't recommend peeling the apples. A tablespoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of baking soda can be added to a sinkful of water to make a good scrubbing solution. This can remove the wax and any pesticides which might be trapped underneath it."
2) You can us an environmentally friendly, non-toxic fruit/veggie wash that is very cheap and lasts a long time. There are various brands out there. I use it regularly and it gets all the wax and pesticides off.

Equal parts vinegar and water sprayed on fruits and veggies (let stand for 2 minutes) will get wax and pesticides off.

Whole Apple Toxicity
I am presently feeling a little bit apprehensive concerning the increasing trend amongst some folks recently to include some or all of the above in their smoothies (or whatever) in their pursuit of health.
I no longer have in my possession Doctor Jarvis' books but seem to recall that he was an advocate for eating the "Whole Apple" - including skin, pith, core, and pips etc. Can someone please tell me if my memory is failing me here please? (Quite possible! ). I would hate to mis-quote him. I freely admit to being impressed by his advocacy for ACV -- aren't we all! However, his message re. the pips etc. has escaped me.
More recently, there have been warnings against consuming the Apple Seed (Pips), as well as the PITS of Cherry, Peach, Apricot and Plum because of a chemical that supposedly releases cyanide (just as if you ate too many almonds in one sitting perhaps??). Now I realise that all the goodies necessary to start life must necessarily be contained within these parts BUT, have the plants evolved a mechanism whereby they protect their seeds etc. from insects or birds etc. by "arming" them with a defensive tool?
I would welcome further discussion on this but would urge caution against over-indulgence in the mean time.
Cheers, Michael
Hi Michael. Yes, I had heard that also, but some research has shown that the cyanide in the seeds can only affect cancer cells (kills them). I have successfully eaten apple seeds, lemon seeds, watermelon seeds (yum) papaya seeds (for parasites) cantaloupe seeds. There was a news story recently about an Aussie fella who was eating a lot of apricot seeds every day plus a homemade apricot seed concoction. Anyway they said it was super dangerous (his blood oxygen count was a bit low) but meanwhile his cancer was in remission and he had been doing it daily for 5 years. And of course would continue. It was also refreshing to see some of the comments to the article, eg I'd like to see him survive 5 years of chemo!

Scaremongering. I think you will find many things in nature are cyanogenic; it's how much you consume. Same with water.
