Have just finished reading an old book on molasses and it contains not only most minerals our body needs but also all Vit.B complex properties and it is B2 to stop greying hair. Extremely beneficial for good health. Apple cider vinegar is another everyone should drink it is also a skin rejuvinater, just a tad in the morning wash however I believe that is it rejuvinates the skin and the skin being our biggest organ then it must have the same affect on our internal organs, it is also a blood cleanser and flushes our organs, builds up white blood cells which fight infection. Softens arteries lessing the risk of clotting, and it also prevents heart burn, 1-2 drinks a day, 1 tablespoon in a cup with a teaspoon of honey (manuka if possible) put cold water on top and then hottish water on top of that and drink once stirred. Very refreshing. It is also a neutrilizer so if you're scratching, chicken pox or measles flea bit just dab vinegar on and it will stop immediately, there is over 100 different benfits of applecider, however a short mention on lemon juice, liver loves sour, {if you have a crook liver it doesn't like grapefruit),our liver needs sour to function fully as it works overtime and our diets are full of processed flours and sugars etc.one lemon drink in the morning will alkalize your body for the day and prepare it for its acidic onslaught. It has to be before you have anything to eat or drink. Give it half an hour before breaksfast. Please place cold water on top of the lemon before adding the hot to protect the properties, especially Vit.C as it is destroyed with heat. Add a tsp of honey. Honey is also good for sore throats, 1 tsp of honey on a spoon also does wonders for us. Good health to you all.

This stuff is great! I have been drinking it for a long time to cure a sore throat or wake me up and give me a burst of energy. One day I had an idea. We had hard water stains on our dishes. It turned our clear glasses white. We tried everything to get them clean again even brillo pads, then I pulled out the vinagar and tried it. I dipped it in and out it came nice and clear. If it can remove hard water stains think about what it can do to clean your body. Also, when I was a kid I remember people would soak an egg in vinegar and then put the egg into a coke bottle with out cracking the shell. Vinegar might be good for our bones as well.

I have taken ACV, for 1 month. I feel more energized and healthy. I also apply it to my scalp to eliminate dandruff. This works great! It also seems to help my acne, as well as my menstrual cycle. I'm sure it helps my body in more ways than I know.

I have a friend who uses that ACV recipe every day. He has rid himself of acid reflux, allergies, skin problems, excess weight, and says it gives him a real energy boost. I am about to try it myself, although I do not need to lose weight (on the contrary). We'll see how it goes.

I've had apple cider vinegar help with allergies, joint pain, headaches, food poisoning and sinus infections. Every time I need some and take it, the results are nearly instantaneous!

I have been using apple cider vinegar for weight loss and high blood pressure, along with watching what i eat and exercise. It seems to be helping with the weight loss -- lost 15lbs in 6 months. I also have type two diabetes and my sugar seems to be under control. The doctor said it's borderline and no cholesterol problems. I will continue using the ACV.

I had been taking apple cider vinegar and then stopped for a while and have just started back. I put a little honey in with my water to make it taste better. I have so much energy when I take it on a regular basis. I can really tell the difference when I don't take it all the time, and people say my skin looks more healthy.

I've been taking 2 tbs. of ACV in a glass of water 3 times a day-(first drink of the morning/ mid-day/ then last drink of the day before bed)for a year now. I FEEL BETTER/I HAVE MORE ENERGY/I SLEEP BETTER. AFTER BURNING MY THUMB BADLY ON THE OVEN ONCE I SOAKED IT IN ACV FOR AFEW MINUTES AND THE SEVERE PAIN STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!- WITHIN AN HOUR I COMPLETELY FORGOT I EVEN BURNED MYSELF-I COULDNT FEEL A THING!- AND NO SCAR!// IT HAS CURED POISON IVY EVERY TIME! I JUST APPLIED LIBERAL AMOUNTS OF 100% ACV TO THE AFFECTED AREA WHENEVER IT STARTED TO ITCH AND IT STOPPED THE ITCHING AND CLEARED IT UP IN NO TIME! SAME THING FOR ATHLETES FEET! A TBS. OF 100% ACV INTO THE EARS AFTER LETTING IT IN FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN TILTING HEAD TO EMPTY DISSOLVES BUILTUP. CUTS, SCRAPES, BRUISES, INSECT BITES HEAL TWICE AS FAST AND LESSON OR COMPLETELY STOP THE PAIN BY SIMPLY APPLYING 100% ACV LIBERALLY TOTHE DAMAGED AREA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND AFEW TIMES A DAY THEREAFTER UNTIL ITS HEALED. ALSO 100% ACV USED ON YOUR HANDS WILL WORK BETTER THAN ANY MOISTURIZER. I ACTUALLY FIND MY TEETH ARE GETTING WHITER.

I have been taking a combination of apple cider vinegar and honey for the past 20 years or so. I am now 66 years old. I believe that this combination has helped me cure many different I have had over the years. I had athletes foot at one time. Even though the doctor said I would always have the problem, once I took ACV the problem went completely away. Twice I have had the problem of tenis elbow and after taking ACV the problem went away. This combination cured me from hangovers. I very seldom have a cold and have never had the flu since taking ACV. I feel healthy when taking ACV.

Hi, Sifted, sterile wood ashes would help cut the acid some in drinking vinegar or lemon water. Wood ashes from trees, not lumber from the store, is full of minerals and is highly alkaline. Would this render the vinegar less potent? I don't know, but I think not. But for sure it would make it non damaging for the teeth. Lemon juice, the fresh squeezed kind of course is tough on tooth enamel as well. Wood ashes were used a hundred years back on farms as a mineral supplement and anthemelic (kills parasites) for livestock. It was mixed with sulfur and salt. I have used the wood ashes for the last month and never have acidity. Something I am prone to. A teaspoon per gallon of water is what I use.

I happened upon this site by "accident." Actually, I think it was more of a "Divine intervention" because I have found SO much on this site that has been extremely helpful. Apple Cider Vinegar - I will ALWAYS make sure to have some on hand and will probably have a little each day from now on. Just a small amount-about a tbsp. in a glass of water has relieved PMS, sinusitis and a headache in less than minutes! THANK YOU!

I have been searching on the web for a site that promotes cleaning you meat with apple cider vinegar. This was a tradition in my family for at least 4-5 generations. I believe that a couple of capsulefuls won't hurt and gets all of that sticky, greasy, and nasty film of off meats like: steaks, poultry, porkchops, ribs etc. except for ground or chop meat. Ground beef or chopmeat is probably the only meat that I wouldn't suggest cleaning with vinegar just because of the type of meat that it is. I believe that apple cider vinegar minimizes alot of the bacteria found in our meat. Katie.

I have been using 2 tablespoons of organic ACV in water every morning for the past 2 years. It has been life changing and people very often asked me what I'm doing. I am 43 years old and I feel like this health tonic is as good for your insides as it is your outsides.

It has helped me with all of my minor health ailments.

I have suffered with bleeding ulcers as a result of a hiated hernia. It has cured my acid reflux. It has also lowered my blood pressure. It has helped with my anxiety. It has kept my weight the same. (I'm a healthy weight for me, 130pounds). It helps keep my skin youthful and I haven't gotten sick. No colds, no flu.

Acv is the fountain of youth. And a very potent health tonic. I highly recommend it.

How much do you drink? I get pretty bloated and have horrible acid reflux, and my husband has an ulcer.

had fungal toe for years, could not take the huge green pill, so tried ACV and have been free of the fungus for 10 years. I stopped taking ACV and within a week the fungus was back, so now I take a shot in the morning and at night.
