ACV Benefits

ACV benefits are many and varied and they include cures for flu, acid redux, sore throats, gout, sinus infections, candida etc. But as I have pointed out in earlier posts, Apple cider vinegar should only be taken internally in small amount of at least a teaspoon or two three times a day and only when one is sick. This is because that studies have shown that long-term intake of apple cider vinegar ACV or any acetic acid in high dosages can lower potassium levels in the body as well as reduce bone density.

Studies have also shown that daily dose of ACV (apple cider vinegar)also helps in weight reduction by breaking down fat. It has also be shown that taking apple cider vinegar can lower high blood pressure in two weeks

Taking ACV also improves skin's complexion by giving a healthy rosy glow.

ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) is also very effective in treating various conditions affecting pets such as dogs and cats. ACV can help in controlling fleas, barn flies and also brings a shine to their coat. ACV can also help cure arthritic conditions in pets.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits: Cure Yourself

Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has been used since time immemorial for treating all sorts of ills. From the ancient Egyptians, as far back as 3000 BC and Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine all sang the praises of apple cider vinegar.

Fermenting apple juice to alcoholic apple cider, and then letting the oxygen interact with it, turns the alcohol into acetic acid - one of the "magic" ingredients in the finished product. To help this process along from the alcoholic base, "mother" is added - that being the spider web look-alike bacteria foam that forms during the fermentation process.

Apple cider vinegar contains valuable minerals such as Phosphorus, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Magnesium, and Chlorine. It also contains Sulfur, Copper, Silicon, Fluorine,Provitamin beta-carotene, Pectin and malic acid.

Benefits

A Japanese study in 2009, by the Cancer Research Institute, Mizkan Group Corporation showed that taking apple cider vinegar reduces body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Mass. It further showed that continuous intake of apple cider vinegar was found to lower Serum TG levels. In the study each group drank a 500ml drink containing either 30ml,15ml, or 0ml of vinegar daily for 12 weeks. Those in the 30ml and 15ml groups had lower BMI, visceral fat area, waist circumference, serum triglyceride, and body weight than the control group of 0ml.

Apple cider vinegar is also used in Dr Schulze 'Cold Sheet Treatment' Garlic Injection into the rectum. To do this you will need a rectal syringe that you can get from a pharmacy or drug store. Ingredients are 8-10 large organic garlic cloves in a blender with 50 percent apple cider vinegar and 50 percent distilled water. You need to get  all this solution all at once quickly with the rectal syringe because once you get it in you will want to expel it all at once.

Dr Richard Schulze considers the 'cold sheet treatment' as the most effective hydrotherapy procedure and he uses it for all incurable diseases

Side effects

Long-term intake of apple cider vinegar or any acetic acid in  high dosage intake can lower potassium levels in the body as well as reduce bone density. It is suggested that people who have diabetes should talk to their doctors before using ACV. Since ACV is highly acidic, it is recommended to mix the dosage with water or juice
