The clearer the channel (you), the better the possibilities for a meaningful encounter--a dynamic energy exchange.

Raw Food Materia Medica - "Apples" - Brigitte Mars

They are high in pectin, a soluble fiber and thus help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, especially the harmful lipo-density proteins. Apples stabilize blood sugar levels, benefiting both hypoglycemia and diabetes. They improve arthritis pain, edema, gout, morning sickness, asthma, catarrh, hardening of the arteries, skin diseases, liver and gall bladder sluggishness, rheumatism, and weight loss. Apples are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, astringent and diuretic.
