"You'd be wise to eat a grated apple or two every morning, when you wake up and before a meal, on an empty stomach. Apples are a mysterious fruit. It is no coincidence that it is one of the oldest symbols in the consciousness of mankind. The apple tree was the "tree of knowledge", the apple was the forbidden fruit of the Bible. Well, this forbidden fruit has a personal connection with man. Perhaps it played a role when man was cast out of Paradise; we don't know for sure. But I've noticed that raw, grated apples are a sure thing in everyday life hygiene. It is refreshing, soothes the stomach, and regulates the bowels. Especially if you wash the apple carefully with clean hands before grating and then sprinkle it with lemon juice. Longevity is not guaranteed by this gentle nutrient, but your stomach and intestines will gratefully accept this daily gift of pure, healing power. And a man is a man not only with his heart and mind but also with his stomach and intestines.

Bölcsen cselekszel, ha minden reggel, ébredés után és étkezés előtt, éhomra megeszel egy-két reszelt almát. Az alma titokzatos gyümölcs. Nem véletlen, hogy az emberiség öntudatában a legrégibb jelképek egyike. Az almafa volt a „tudás fája", az alma volt a bibliai tiltott gyümölcs. Nos, ennek a tiltott gyümölcsnek személyes köze van az emberhez. Talán szerepet játszott, mikor az embert elűzték a Paradicsomból; ezt nem tudjuk biztosan. De úgy észleltem, hogy a nyers, reszelt alma a mindennapos élethigiénia egyik biztos kelléke. Üdít, megnyugtatja a gyomrot, s szabályozóan hat a belekre. Különösen, ha az almát reszelés előtt tiszta kezekkel, gondosan megmosod, s aztán megöntözöd citromlével. A hosszú életet nem biztosítja ez a szelíd tápszer, de gyomrod és beleid hálásan fogadják ezt a tiszta, gyógyerejű mindennapos ajándékot. S az ember nemcsak szívével és elméjével ember, hanem gyomrával és beleivel is.

Este înțelept să mâncați unul sau două mere rase în fiecare dimineață, după ce vă treziți și înainte de masă, pe stomacul gol. Mărul este un fruct misterios. Nu este o coincidență faptul că este unul dintre cele mai vechi simboluri din conștiința omenirii. Mărul a fost „pomul cunoașterii”, mărul a fost fructul interzis din Biblie. Ei bine, acest fruct interzis are o legătură personală cu omul. Poate că a jucat un rol atunci când omul a fost alungat din Paradis; nu știm sigur. Dar am observat că mărul crud, ras, este un lucru sigur în igiena vieții de zi cu zi. Este răcoritor, calmează stomacul și reglează intestinele. Mai ales dacă spălați cu grijă mărul cu mâinile curate înainte de a-l rade și apoi îl stropiți cu suc de lămâie. Longevitatea nu este garantată de acest nutrient blând, dar stomacul și intestinele tale vor primi cu recunoștință acest dar zilnic de putere curativă pură. Iar un om este un om nu numai cu inima și mintea, ci și cu stomacul și intestinele sale.
