How
to Use The
Powerful Health Qualities
of Natural Apple Cider Vinegar
Excerpts
from Pages 1-4
Research
worldwide supports and commends what Hippocrates (the father
of medicine) found and treated his patients with in 400 B.C.
He discovered that natural, undistilled Apple Cider Vinegar
(or ACV)* is a powerful cleansing and healing elixir –
a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights
germs and bacteria – for a healthier, stronger, longer
life!
The
versatility of ACV as a powerful body cleansing agent is legendary.
It’s been traced to Egyptian urns as far back as 3000 B.C.
The Babylonians used it as a condiment and preservative, while
Julius Caesar’s army used ACV tonic to stay healthy and
fight off disease. The Greeks and Romans kept vinegar vessels
for healing and flavoring. It was used in Biblical times as
an antiseptic and a healing agent and is mentioned in the Bible.
In Paris in the Middle Ages it was sold from barrels by street
vendors as a body deodorant, healing tonic and a health vinegar
drink.
Even
Christopher Columbus and his crew on his voyage to discover
America in 1492 had their vinegar barrels for prevention of
scurvy as did the soldiers in the American Civil War. For centuries
in Japan, the feared Samurai warriors drank it for strength
and power. ACV has been used for thousands of years not only
for health reasons, but also as a cleansing agent to remove
bacteria, germs, odors, and even stains and spots.

*The best is the Organic, Raw, Unfiltered, Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar with the “mother,” available most Health Stores.

What is Mother? Mother of vinegar will naturally occur in vinegar products as the result of the vinegar bacteria itself. Mother is actually cellulose (a natural carbohydrate which is the fiber in foods like celery and lettuce) produced by the harmless vinegar bacteria. Today, most manufacturers pasteurize their product before bottling to prevent these bacteria from forming mother while sitting on the grocery store shelf. - Pathways To Eden |
ACV
– Mother Nature's Perfect Food
Natural
(undistilled) organic, raw ACV can really be called one of Mother
Nature's most perfect foods. It is made from fresh, crushed
apples which are then allowed to mature naturally in wooden
barrels, as wood seems to "boost"
the natural fermentation. Natural ACV should be rich, brownish
color and if held to the light you might see a tiny formation
of "cobweb-like" substances that we call the "mother."
Usually some "mother" will show in the bottom of the
ACV bottle the more it ages. It never needs refrigeration. You
can also save some "mother" and transfer it to work
in other natural vinegars. When you smell natural ACV, there's
a pungent odor and sometimes it's so ripened it puckers your
mouth and smarts your eyes – these are natural, good signs.
Why
Has Natural Apple Cider Vinegar
Disappeared from Grocers' Shelves?
The
blame for the disappearance of natural raw Apple Cider Vinegar
from supermarkets lies on the shoulders of the general public,
as well as the producers of vinegar.
Most
people buy food with their eyes, not thinking of good nutrition.
The vinegar producers failed to enlighten the public on what
powerful health qualities were locked within natural ACV. Why?
Because most of them had not the slightest knowledge of the
health values of natural, raw, organic, unfiltered, cloudy (and
to some, less attractive-looking) Apple Cider Vinegar with the
"mother." They produced pasteurized, refined and distilled
vinegars because the public demanded the clear look. It was
simply filling current supply and demand.
Powerful
Health Qualities Removed
You
cannot completely blame the producers of vinegar. They are not
nutritionists, nor are they biochemists. Their business is to
give the customers what they want. Most people purchase vinegar
for flavoring, also for pickling and marinating their foods.
Some women use it to rinse their hair after shampooing, as it
leaves it squeaky clean, softer and much easier to manage.
ACV
is also a germ fighter in the home, lab, etc.. Some mix it with
water to wash windows, as it removes sludge and keeps them sparkling
clean. ACV has hundreds of uses and its versatility is legendary
as a powerful household cleansing and deodorizing agent free
of dangerous chemicals. (See pages 102 to 104 for vinegar cleaning
hints.)
ACV
Has Powerful Health Qualities
Both
the general public and the producers of vinegar have been informed
as to the powerful health qualities of organic, raw, unfiltered,
fully ripened ACV. Ignorance isn't always bliss! When most people
see natural apple cider vinegar with the brownish color and
the tiny, cobweb "mother" floating in it, they think it
looks unappetizing. The general public has been educated and
brainwashed to want everything they purchase to have perfect
eye appeal!
To
meet this demand that vinegar must be clear, light colored
and free from the brownish, cobweb "mother" is the
reason producers distill their vinegar. In distilling, the vinegar
is turned to steam by heating. Therefore it destroys the powerful
enzymes and distills out the life-giving minerals such as potassium,
phosphorus, natural organic fluorine, silicon, trace minerals
and pectin as well as many other powerful nutrients! Distilling also
destroys the natural malic and tartaric acids which are important
in fighting body toxins and inhibiting unfriendly bacteria.
You
can see how the public, with their obsession for eye appeal
foods, reacts. The producers of Apple Cider Vinegar, who agreed
to sell their product for a profit, put a "death warrant"
against healthy, organic, raw, fully ripened ACV. The public
got what they wanted – a clear, appealing, but dead ACV.
When natural ACV was hard to find, other strange vinegars began to
appear on grocery shelves. The first was malt vinegar, a
refined vinegar. It's clear and acceptable to the public. It
tastes like vinegar, but has none of the healing qualities of
natural, raw ACV.
The
universally accepted #1 fruit, the apple, is popular across
America and around the world. Early American settlers, the Pilgrims,
brought apples to America in the early 1600's and became Johnny
Appleseeders, starting apple orchards that eventually spread
throughout America.
Commercial
Vinegars are Real Tragedies
Then
came the real tragedy: a food chemist produced an imitation
vinegar from coal tar! It looked clean, white and tasted like
vinegar. Today it's the most popular vinegar in supermarkets.
It's cheaper than distilled vinegar or malt vinegar. Most people
buy these worthless vinegars. there's nothing good about commercial
vinegars, except they look clean and taste like vinegar. They
have no health value! They don't contain the health values of
organic, raw ACV with the mother. Millions worldwide never get
the health benefits of this natural ACV as Hippocrates used
in 400 B.C.
ACV
Helps Stiffness Vanish From Body
You
will find, after several months of the ACV and honey cocktail
taken 3 times daily – that the stiffness and misery will
be gone from your joints and body. You will discover you can
walk or run up several flights of stairs without any effort
and pain! You will notice that you look and feel younger!
Make
The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle a life-long daily habit! Over
the years we have seen many stiff-jointed, prematurely old
people transform themselves into new, youthful, healthy people!
We can't do it for you. You must make the effort to give this
ACV and honey program a chance to prove what it can do for
you!
Question
About Apple Cider Vinegar
Many
people have some preconceived idea that Apple Cider Vinegar
is harmful to the body, Instead it's the distilled, pasteurized,
filtered, the malt and synthetic dead vinegars that must
be avoided for human consumption!
Let
us assure you that there is nothing in this wonderful, organic,
raw ACV that can in any way harm your body! People ask us
about the merits and benefits of ACV. See the inside front
cover for a list of some of the miracles it can perform.
Animal
proteins and fats have a tendency to thicken the blood, while
natural acids and enzymes in ACV help to keep the blood healthier
and thinner. Also, that's why people naturally crave and serve
cranberry sauce (which contains four different natural acids)
with turkey and fowl. They serve applesauce with roast pork
dishes, a slice of lemon with fish, or steak with mushrooms -
all rich in natural acids.
The
use of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful health
aid, and the #1 food I recommend in helping to maintain the
body's vital acid-alkine balance. Everyone should read the
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar book.
