We must live on a balanced diet of fruits, nuts, herbs, and roots for quite some time before our bodies are readjusted to the higher vibration of the fruitarian diet.

Some of the darker-skinned varieties contain so much of this bitter element that you may not be able to eat a great deal of it. These rough rinds, when swallowed, will act as good sweeping material for your bowels, also.
