I drink apple cider vinegar in water, and if I remember to do it, I drink two or three 16 oz glasses a day. They say you need to only use the organic kind, as it still has the mother in it and that's where all the minerals are, BUT....I use the apple cider vinegar that you can get in the gallon jug at the grocery store, and I enjoy all the benefits from it they say you'll get from drinking the organic stuff. I don't know if I'm actually getting the minerals and stuff from this kind, BUT...I do know I feel better, I have more energy, etc. I'm a diabetic and usually don't feel well, but drinking this really picks me up.

I work with a nurse who also swears by drinking this, except she only drinks the organic. She talked me into switching to the organic, so I bought a big jar of it to try. Well, I drank it for a couple weeks, and I went back to feeling the way I use to, and I could tell the organic stuff wasn't working for me. So...as far as medically...I don't have the kind of education to tell you which is actually better for you, but on a personal level....just the regular, no-name, apple cider vinegar from the grocery store works perfectly for me....and I use it inside and outside my body in several different ways.

Thank you so much everybody. We started drinking this yesterday and

taking garlic pills which I think may of been to much at once as we

both ended up with tummy troubles. We are using heinze but I am going

to pick some of the " mother " kind at the mill tomorrow. I didnt do

the garlic pill this morning and my stomach is fine. Ive read alot of

different things that apple cider vinager does for you. Some even

claiming not having a cold sense they started.....this probably good

luck and proper hand washing. Your comments have been helpful.

 

Thanks

I have found that drinking apple cider vinegar tonic

two to three times

a day has greatly releived my pain, I have been able to competely stop

taking one of my pain pills that I took for over 20years.

my energy level is back too. although I do have to watch not over doing

it.

in general I feel better than I have in months.

I noticed a fast change in everything after about a mouth.

(note-

it has to be raw apple vinegar, you can get it at any health food store.

the stuff that they sell in reg stores is watered down & chemicaly

treated.

Do a google search for Apple cider vinegar and there is a lot of information

on this fantastic product. It has been used for thousands of years for a

lot of health problems.

I've read that when you take a tablespoon or two of apple cider

vinegar, and honey with it you are getting one heck of a dose of

potassium. Apple cider vinegar is also a reasonably powerful

diuretic. I think I'll go take some right now, since the subject came

up.

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

Yes I believe everything in this article concerning Apple Cider Vinegar.

It has done so much for my health. I know at first the taste was kind of

bad but it grows on you.

 

It really does. Right now I'm sitting here at my computer and next to me is

a TV tray with

 

My Apple Cider Vinegar with a straw so I can sip it. Just remember the

health food store apple cider vinegar is the healthiest. Heinz vinegar from

the grocery store is worthless health wise. And a cup of hot water with a

tablespoon of Molasses in it. Black strap molasses is a good source of iron

calcium and potassium. I also for the last 25 years I have been taking

Spirulina. A super food.

 

I know at my age 75 in March I need to do everything to stay healthy.

Concerning Spirulina Most people my age have grey hair. I still have just

tiny bit of grey. About the same as I had when I was 40 years old.

 

Have a good day.

Apple Cider Vinegar

 

 

 

I am sure we have all heard the old saying , “An apple a day keeps the

doctor away.” This could well have a lot of merit. Apples are among the most

health-giving fruits available to us. They contain a host of beneficial

vitamins and minerals, such as phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, calcium,

iron, and many trace elements as well. And, they are the central ingredient

in apple cider vinegar.

 

 

 

Cider vinegar is a powerful detoxifying and purifying agent. It breaks down

fatty, mucous and phlegm deposits within the body. By breaking down these

substances it improves the health and function of the vital organs of the

body, such as the kidneys, bladder and liver, by preventing excessively

alkaline urine. It also oxidizes and thins the blood, which is important in

preventing high blood pressure. This powerful potion also promotes digestion

assimilation and elimination, all the while neutralizing any toxic

substances that enter the body. Cider vinegar has been found to neutralize

any harmful bacteria that may be found in certain foods. When a mixture of

cider vinegar and water is taken before a meal (particularly food served in

restaurants or at picnics where the preparation or duration of food left

uncovered and not refrigerated is questionable), it seems to prevent

diarrhea or digestive upsets.

 

 

 

Apple cider vinegar contains a potent supply of potassium which researchers

feel is helpful in easing the effects of common colds and allergies,

including mucous formation, watery eyes, sinus and catarrhal problems. Cider

vinegar can also be beneficial for symptoms such as tooth decay and

splitting of the fingernails, which are symptoms of potassium deficiency.

Potassium is essential for the replacement of worn-out tissues within the

body. This mineral is also important to soft tissue repair, as calcium is to

the bones and teeth. A deficiency of potassium within the body can produce

callous formations on the souls of the feet, insufficient replacement of

worn tissue, and hair loss.

 

 

 

Tests have proven that soil deficient in potassium will produce anemic and

undersized plants, but when potassium is introduced into the soil, the plant

becomes healthier and increases in size. When potassium, in the form of

cider vinegar is fed to livestock their appearance improves and their

stamina increases. This can also prove true on a human level for those who

have potassium deficiency. A few teaspoons of cider vinegar taken with water

each day has been known to produce amazing results. Cider vinegar can be

taken alone or used in cooking. It can be used as a salad dressing, for

pickling, in making mayonnaise or sprinkled on potato chips or French fries.

It can used as a hot or cold beverage sweetened with honey. The best method

of using apple cider vinegar is in its natural liquid form.

 

 

 

When the body is lacking certain minerals or salts, ill health can be the

result. Toxic build-ups with the body can cause boils, blisters, acne, etc.

Cider vinegar detoxifies and helps with the cleansing and clotting processes

of the blood, by helping along the blood oxidation process.

 

 

 

Cider vinegar is thought to be beneficial in the treatment of arthritis, as

a beverage or with compresses soaked in hot vinegar applied directly to the

joints. It is also thought to be helpful when used to treat asthma, nose

bleeds, osteoporosis, cancer, candida, high cholesterol, colds, constipation

muscle cramps, colitis, diabetes, diarrhea, depression, dizziness, ear

discharge, eczema, fatigue, gallstones, kidney stones, hay fever, headaches,

heartburn, hiccups, indigestion, insomnia, kidney and bladder problems,

metabolism, nasal congestion, sore throats, stiff joints, ulcers and weight

loss.

 

 

 

Please check with your physician before starting any new treatments,

including dietary changes. Alternative or holistic health procedures are

meant to be complimentary process to traditional medical practices, and not

used in place of them.

 

 

 

Making Cider Vinegar at Home

 

 

 

Two factors require special attention when making vinegar at home: oxygen

supply and temperature. Oxygen is spread throughout the mixture by stirring

it daily and by letting air reach the fluid through a cheesecloth filter,

which is used in place of a regular lid. The temperature of fermenting cider

should be kept between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Lower temperatures

do not always produce a usable vinegar, and higher ones interfere with the

formation of the " mother of vinegar. " Mother of vinegar is a mat that forms

on the bottom of fermenting wine that has gone bad.

 

 

 

Do not use a metal container when making vinegar; acid in the mixture will

corrode metal or aluminum objects. Glass, plastic, wood, enamel, or

stainless steel containers should be used for making or storing vinegar. The

same holds true for making or storing foods that have more than 1 Tablespoon

of vinegar in the recipe.

 

 

 

Steps for Making Cider Vinegar

 

 

 

The following steps must be followed to make a high-quality cider vinegar:

 

Make a clean cider from ripe apples.

 

 

 

Change all of the fruit sugar to alcohol. This is called " yeast fermentation

"

 

 

 

Change all of the alcohol to acetic acid. This is called " acetic acid

fermentation. "

 

 

 

Clarify the acetic acid to prevent further fermentation and decomposition.

 

 

 

Step 1--Making Cider

 

Cider is made from the winter and fall varieties of apples (summer and green

apples do not contain enough sugar). Fruit should be gathered, then washed

well to remove debris. Crush the fruit to produce apple pulp and strain off

the juice. Use a press or cheesecloth for straining.

 

 

 

Adding yeast to activate fermentation is not essential, but will speed up

the process. Special cultivated yeasts are available for this purpose at

wine-making shops and biological labs--bread yeasts are not recommended. To

make a starter, crumble one cake of yeast into one quart of cider. This

makes enough starter for 5 gallons of cider; double the recipe

proportionately when making more.

 

 

 

Steps 2 and 3--Making Alcohol and Acetic Acid

 

Pour all of the liquid into one or more containers to about three-quarters

capacity; do not close the lids on the containers. Stir the mixtures daily.

Keep the containers away from direct sunlight and maintain the temperature

at 60 to 80 degrees F. Full fermentation will take about 3 to 4 weeks. Near

the end of this period, you should notice a vinegar-like smell. Taste

samples daily until the desired strength is reached.

 

 

 

Step 4--Filtering

 

When the vinegar is fully fermented, filter the liquid through several

layers of fine cheesecloth or filter paper--a coffee filter works well for

this. This removes the mother of vinegar, preventing further fermentation or

spoilage of the product.

 

 

 

Storing Your Vinegar

 

The vinegar is now ready for storage in separate, capped containers. Stored

vinegar will stay in excellent condition almost indefinitely if it is

pasteurized. To pasteurize, heat the vinegar before pouring it into

sterilized bottles, or bottle, then place in a hot water bath. In both cases

the temperature of the vinegar must reach at least 140 degrees F to

sterilize the product, and should not exceed 160 degrees F. Use a cooking

thermometer to ensure the correct temperature is met. Cool the containers

and store at room temperature out of direct sunlight.

 

 

 

Flavored Vinegar

 

Flavoring can be added to homemade vinegar just before bottling. Good

examples of additives include green onion, garlic, ginger, or any

combination of dried or fresh herbs. To make flavoring, place material in a

small cheesecloth bag and suspend in the vinegar until desired strength is

reached. This will take about 4 days, except for garlic, which takes only 1

day. For every 2 cups of vinegar, use one of the following: 1/2 cup crushed

fresh herbs, 1 tablespoon of dried herbs, 2 large cloves of garlic, or 8

small green onions. Other good flavorings include tarragon, basil,

nasturtium, chives, mint, chervil, borage, hot chilies, and raspberries.

Adjust the amounts to taste, but be careful not to overload the vinegar. Too

much vegetable matter can destroy the acid and ruin the preservative quality

of the vinegar.

 

 

 

Some flavorings may not go well with cider vinegar's distinct taste and

color. When flavoring store-bought vinegar, use more delicate or decorative

flavors. When flavoring store-bought vinegar, you will still need to

pasteurize it and use sterile bottles.

 

 

 

Flavored vinegars taste great and have a beautiful color, making them

excellent for use in salads. You will be tempted to display flavored vinegar

however, be sure to keep your bottles out of direct sunlight, which will

destroy the flavor, acidity, and color of the vinegar.

 

 

 

Uses for Homemade Cider Vinegar

 

Because the acidity of homemade vinegars will vary, do not use them in foods

to be canned or stored at room temperature. Homemade vinegar is, however,

excellent in salads, cooking, or freezer and refrigerator pickled products.

Apple Cider Vinegar Usage And Dosage

 

 

 

The benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar can be traced back to Biblical times,

the ancient Egyptians, Hippocrates, treated his patients with Apple Cider

Vinegar (or ACV). Julius Caesar’s army used ACV to stay healthy and fight

off disease. The Greeks and Romans kept vinegar vessels for healing and

flavoring, and Samurai warriors drank it for strength and power. Today the

benefits of ACV are still being felt and used daily, the traditional dosage

of ACV is 2-3 TBLS of ACV in 8 oz of water 3x a day. Add honey to taste.

 

 

 

Arthritis

 

Two teaspoons of ACV to eight-ounce glass of water also add 2 teaspoons of

honey 3x a day. For external use, Soak the painful joint (hand or foot) in a

hot but comfortable solution of ACV for ten minutes, two to three times a

day a quarter of a cup of ACV to one and a half cups of water. For painful

knees or shoulder you can make a poultice by soaking a cloth in a mixture of

ACV and water. A quarter of a cup of ACV to one and a half cups of water.

Repeat as needed though out the day.

 

 

 

Athlete's foot

 

Soak a cloth or cotton ball in ACV and apply it to the entire foot twice a

day. Let ACV air dry before you put your socks and shoes on.

 

 

 

Acne

 

Apply a solution of ACV and water, 2 tablespoons to eight-ounce glass of

water with a cloth or cotton ball several times a day. This will help reduce

infection and dry out inflammation.

 

 

 

Asthma

 

One tablespoonful of ACV added to a glass of water and sip for half and hour

The wheezing should lessen in intensity. If wheezing still persist a second

glass of the same mixture can be taken. Deep breathing exercises are also a

beneficial treatment.

 

 

 

Apple cider vinegar baths

 

ACV baths can, alleviate itchiness, poison ivy, and sunburn discomfort. Use

2-4 cups ACV in a hot bath. It will also help combat “unfriendly” bacteria.

 

 

 

 

Candida

 

An inexpensive remedy can be found by douching with a solution of ACV until

the symptoms disappear. Add 2 tablespoons of ACV to a quart of lukewarm

water.

 

 

 

Cholesterol

 

Two or 3 teaspoons to eight-ounces glass of water followed by a lifestyle

that includes eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, maintaining your

weight, exercising and avoiding processed foods. The amino acids contained

in ACV can neutralize some of the harmful oxidized LDL cholesterol.

 

 

 

Colds

 

One teaspoon of ACV to ½ cup of water several times a day. It has been found

that the pH factor of the body becomes a bit more alkaline prior to a cold

or flu. When you take ACV it helps to rebalance the acid level of your body.

 

 

 

 

Coughs

 

Two teaspoons of ACV and 1-2 teaspoons of honey mixed with a glassful of

water should be taken before meals, or when the irritation occurs.

 

 

 

Diabetes

 

Try a daily 2 or 3 teaspoons of ACV to eight-ounces glass of water. Adding

dietary fiber, as contained in AVC, is said to be beneficial in controlling

blood glucose levels.

 

 

 

Dizziness

 

Two teaspoons of ACV together with 2 teaspoons of honey in a glass of water

3x a day should help with dizziness considerably. However, one should never

expect instant results, but you will notice a lessened of intensity.

 

 

 

Eczema

 

Take the usual dosage of ACV and honey in a glassful of water 3x a day, with

meals. An application of well-diluted ACV can also be applied to the skin

several times daily 1 teaspoonful to half a cup of water. There is usually a

potassium deficiency in those people suffering from eczema.

 

 

 

Fatigue

 

Regular use of ACV can help beat fatigue. Take the usual dosage of ACV and

honey in a glassful of water 3x a day, with meals.

 

 

 

Food Poisoning

 

There have been many cases where people who were taking ACV regularly did

not suffer from food poisoning. ACV has an antiseptic quality that seems to

combat food poisoning.

 

 

 

Hay fever

 

Before the onset of the hay-fever season the ordinary dosage of ACV and

honey should then be taken 2-3 teaspoons of ACV and 1-2 teaspoons of honey

in a glass of water, three times a day. This dosage should be maintained

during the entire hay-fever season.

 

 

 

Headaches

 

There are several types of headache, caused by various reasons. An effective

remedy is to take equal parts of ACV and water, place in a small pan on the

stove, allow it to boil slowly. When the steam begin to raise from the pan

lean your head over it until the fumes are comfortably strong. Inhale for

approximately 50 to 80 breaths. Generally this alleviates the headache

considerably, if not entirely. Inhaling the vapors from a small bottle of

ACV can also help or if you have a vaporizer, add some ACV to the water and

inhale the vapors for five minutes.

 

 

 

Heartburn-Hiccups

 

Taking the usual dosage of ACV and water before meals to help alleviate the

unpleasant feeling of heartburn.

 

 

 

Sore throat

 

A gargle made from ACV and water could prove to be a great relief for a sore

throat - be that a bacterial or virus infection. The solution is a 50/50

mixture, spit out the solution after gargling, and repeated every hour.

After gargling rinse the mouth with clean water to prevent the acid from

eroding the enamel on your teeth.

 

 

 

Weight loss

 

ACV has been used as a weight loss remedy for centuries. It has been

suggested that the ACV works because it makes the body burn calories better,

reduces appetite and gets the entire metabolism working. But whatever the

reason, the fact remains that it has stood the test of time and has helped

countless people to achieve their ideal weight. Taking the usual dosage of

ACV and water before meals.

 

 

 

Leg cramps

 

Try a regular tonic of ACV 2 or 3 teaspoons to eight-ounces of water along

with 1-2 teaspoon of honey. The ACV helps your body’s absorption of calcium

and magnesium this will help protect against painful leg cramps.

 

 

 

Menstrual problems

 

A glass of ACV 2 or 3 teaspoons to eight-ounces of water in the morning has

been reported to help reduce the flow and cramping of a heavy period.

 

 

 

Night sweats and Hot flashes

 

AVC has helped reduce night sweats and hot flashes for some menopausal and

per-menopausal women. Use the regularly dosage of ACV.

 

 

 

Urinary Tract Infections

 

Try a dual combination of AVC and cranberry juice 2 teaspoons of ACV to an

eight-ounce glass of cranberry juice.

 

 

 

If you have a hard time with the taste of ACV you can try adding it to a

glass of cold or warm organic apple juice. There are also the over the

counter tablets, but the liquid ACV works faster

my mother in law had all kinds of problems and started using apple

cider vinegar. She lost a lot of weight, and swears by it.

 

I took it a couple of times, and it made me vomit. I would be willing

to try it with the honey and hot water though and see if it helps.

I also have swelled feet and high blood pressure. Seems like an

I was reading Mercola's email this morning. One article was on weight loss. Here are some interesting facts about apple cider that caught my attention. I always put a little Braggs ACV in my water before I drink it. Thought you might like to see these too.

Cyndi

 

 

 

Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used for centuries as an energizing tonic and elixir. ACV is a completely natural product resulting from a two-step fermentation process of apples, from which it retains all the nutritional benefits of the apples plus gaining the extra acids and enzymes from fermentation.

There are four suggested ways ACV may help you lose weight:

 

May Increase Satiety* The same hormonal reflex that sends a “full†message from your digestive system to your brain (discussed when talking about Hoodia earlier) is also triggered by ACV*.

Satiety means feeling full. Scientists think that satiety occurs more quickly with acetic acid* (the ‘sour’ part of ACV).

A preliminary Swedish study suggested that higher intake of ACV before meals was associated with significantly lower blood sugar and insulin responses and an increased satiety score*.

May Suppress Appetite* Pectin, the water-soluble fiber in apples and ACV, may absorb water and make your stomach feel a little full before beginning your meal*.

May Increase Metabolic Rate* ACV may help your digestion of protein, which is the building block of growth hormone*. Higher protein levels can mean more growth hormone, which may increase metabolism during your resting times *.

ACV may also improve your production of insulin*.

May Improve Digestion*.

Improving your digestion means fats stay in your digestive tract for a shorter time, with less absorption of those fats into your system.

A number of other health benefits you might get from ACV are:

 

Helps support healthy bone structure through minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicone, plus a number of vitamins).* Maintain healthy lipid levels.* Maintain healthy heart and circulatory system.* Control optimal inflammatory response.* Aids in normal detoxification of your body.*

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Stevia? LOL. I kind of like the tart taste. I'm so used to it now, I can hardly drink water without ACV or lemon in it. Sometimes I make a hot drink out of ACV, hot water and raw honey. Yum!

I wanted to say too, that even if you don't notice any health benefits, you are probably getting some anyway from the ACV. You never know. :-)
