Re: Green Apples
by Telman 18 y
It is often written that the malic acid helps to soften stones in the biliary system and it is a beneficial preparation to liver flushing.
Fruit and vegetables are natural sources of malic acid. Apples which are rich in malic acid are considered to be the most convenient way to consume it.
The flavour of apples is defined by the proportion of sugar (sweet), acid (sour) and tannins (bitter). The proportions of these vary from variety to variety and also for a single variety depending upon the growing, ripening and harvesting conditions. The sourest apples are highest in malic acid:

Malic acid
by Telman 13 y
Bramley apples contain more malic acid but it is a cooking apple. The highest concentrations of malic acid are around the skin and core. However, sour cherry juice contains 5 times the malic acid of any apple.
The Bramley Seedling has been found to have a Malic acid level of 0.85% but it is a cooking apple. Because malic acid is not easily destroyed the apples can be lightly stewed with a sweetener and provide a rich source of malic acid.
The granny smith apples has a malic acid content of about 0.6% and is the highest levels of regular eating apples
Golden Delicious have about 0. 3 ...

Re: Could harmless MALIC ACID help us ALL

Thanks Michelle for a post on a very interesting article. However, I tried taking malic acid when I was suffering from candidasis induced chronic fatigue. Despite taking high doses of malic acid I perceived no improvement in my condition. It is my supposition that tartaric acid displaces malic acid in the Kreb’s Cycle. The chronic fatigue is not caused by a shortage of malic acid. The tartaric acid simply ”pushes” the malic acid out of the way.

Does Malic acid really make a difference?
by slider25 20 y
View Entire Thread 9
Hi, I’ve never used Malic acid as i’ve always got stones and they have always been fairly soft, which I thought was Malic acid’s sole purpose. However after reading the Liver flush tips blog where the person said Malic acid made a big difference to the amount of stones he/she gets, I am wondering whether I have missed a trick here. Has anyone noticed a big difference in the amount of stones released with or without Malic acid? thanks

Re: Apples, or malic acid

I heard it’s the malic acid in the apples that helps with dissolving stagnant bile, but the apples have lots of good nutrients in them too. On Julia Chang’s gallbladder flush site she says people with candida should take malic acid supplements w/water instead of getting the malic acid from apple juice, so probably either would be OK. Though I bet the malic acid is easier to absorb from apple juice than supplements.

Malic acid by itself was hard to find...most health stores I called had malic acid with magnesium, but eventually I found a place with just malic acid.

Re: ACV for apple juice substitution.
by Telman 11 y
An apple contains between 0.4 and 0.6 grams per 100g. An average apple with high malic acid content such as a Granny Smith weighs about 150 grams. So if you eat two apples a day you will consume 1.8 grams of malic acid.
Good quality ACV contains around 0.5% malic acid. So 2 tablespoons of ACV has 30 milligrams of malic acid.

Magnesium malate, or just malic acid?

thanks. I’ve heard you mention magnesium malate before. I have in the past taken massive doses of malic acid at 2g, 3 times a day. I have never taken a combined supplement of magnesium with it, but the supplements I see like biocare only have something like 100mg magnesium to 750mg of malic acid. Surely the malic acid I was taken in the past is more effective for removing stones and this small combined dose of magnesium and and malic acid?

Hi Midge
No and yes is the answer.
Malic acid is very difficult to destroy and survives most processing but logic tells us that its must degrade each time it goes through a process. Even cider contains malic acid and that’s apple juice which has been highly processed. Basically the closer to a real apple/cherry it is, the better the malic acid content. But even apples vary greatly in their malic acid content. Green sharp apples like Granny Smiths are the best.
If the juice made from pulp then you will probably need to drink more. Sour cherry juice contains 5 to 6 times the malic a ...

Re: Help - Will Malate Soften like Malic Acid ?
by DesertRat 22 y
You are right that the malate contains the same negative malic ion as malic acid. By the name, with its -ate suffix, you know that malate is the salt of malic acid, meaning they have replaced the positive side of the compound (hydrogen, H+) with another positive ion like calcium (Ca++) or magnesium (Mg+). Once dissolved in water, or your stomach, the only difference will be that the malate is not acidic like malic acid. But your stomach is already quite acidic, so it should work the same, I would guess.

When I haven’t used enough malic acid, I have had no stones. If you can stand sugar drink a litre a day of non sweetened apple juice for one week prior to the flush.

Re: Some questions about the liver flush?

Dr Kelly originally wrote in his book that malic acid found in apples will soften the stones. Medical experiments have shown that pectin recycle bile and this will also soften stones. Both pectin and malic acid are found in apples and consequently they have become a common form of preparation. Cooking apples doesn’t destroy the malic acid or pectin so stewed apples are just fine.
Many vegetables and fruit have pectin in them:
Apples = 0.71 to 0.81 %
Cucumbers = 0.1 to 0.5 %

Hi Ann,
The malic acid softens the stones by dissolving parts of the stones through anionic chemical reaction.
This means that being an ”acid” it is lacking in electrons and seeks a cation (molecule/atom with an extra electron) so it can relax and enjoy the flow of spirit. Carrying a negative electric charge allows the anionic chemical (malic acid) to add to the overall zeta potential of the blood, which increases the blood’s ability to clean out deposits of all kinds.
Living tissues in the body have a negative charge (anionic). Toxins and dead matter are neutral or positively cha ...
