Thanks John, I will definitely try it again, as u say having gone 2/3 rds of the way, I know what to expect next time.
Will give it a few weeks and have another crack. Soooooo looking forward to the olive oil........erk

Where are you people finding non-starchy apples is what I wanna know! Every apple I purchase fails the iodine test. I've made sure to buy those red mushy-type ones and they still fail.

lar84: I bought them at an organic store. Yet, I did have some that tested positive...those I had my dh eat. this week I bought apples and Japanese pears...I was really looking forward to the pears...they tested positive...again had my dh eat it. Do they have farmers in Virginia that have orchards? maybe you could try those. But I think Tim said before that if you can't do the apple cleanse due to the timing, then go NSD any way.

I did not do 3 days of apples until 7 months after I started NSD. There are no rules to this.

I also never reacted to apples, never tested them. I may be less sensitive than others though.

I do think there are great benefits to the 3 days of apples with olive oil... but everyone may not want to do it, it is a difficult undertaking. I have done it about 15 times... but not in past 4 years... only occasional 1 days of apples. Life has gotten to busy with near 4 year old.

Australia and in season as well. Prob doesn't help you though Lauren.... Over here the orchards also sell at the farm gate as well
