This book is full of information about a product that has been around for centuries, and will not do you any harm. My husband and his whole family have lived on Zantac, Prilosec, Tums, with not much relief..just more drugs. When I heard about cider vinegar (from another book) I told my husband to try it; he didn't think there was much to it. Then, I bought the Bragg Amino Acids from my health food store and this book on Apple Cider Vinegar.

This time, I just started giving him the vinegar honey drink twice a day for a week. He noticed SIGNIFICANT changes in his digestion and has been able to cut back on the Tums, etc. What he didn't realize is that he was LACKING enough stomach acid, and the pills were reducing his acid even more!!!

The Braggs aren't the only ones who know about cider vinegar and it's benefits. I've read books by James Balch MD (Prescription for Nutritional Healing), and M. Ted Morton (Your Health, Your Choice), and they concur on the use of vinegar for indigestion. The Braggs just take the information and expand on the use of vinegar.

The Braggs are vegetarians (I am not), but I still incorporate their advice and wisdom. They are living testimonies to what they teach, and I've learned that prevention if far easier than any "cure"!

I honestly don't think there was a need to write a book for other than the fact that you cant sell a 1 page book. To summarzize this book for you, drink 2 heaping teaspoons of raw honey, 2 teaspoons of RAW apple cider vinegar only the kind from healthstores that has the live enzymes and a glass of water mix it together and sip it. Drink 3 of these a day for the rest of your life. That is the book in a nutshell. The rest of the book they try to encorporate bragg lifestyle principles as well as other uses for vinegar like clenaing the stove etc. I wish someone had summed it up for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of info on health, some on food & a dose of religion., July 3, 2000

This review is from: Apple Cider Vinegar - Miracle Health System (Paperback)

The Bragg's were definitely into a providing the public with healthful info about the need to protect your precious health even if it was a little uneven and heavy handed. This book is full of different methods to use apple cider vinegar(acv) to keep our bodies in optimal shape. I think what was surprising for me is the book has info on a healthy lifestyle in general. They definitely support a raw food diet with periodic fasting and acv to keep everything running optimally. There is also quite a bit of info to support the drinking of distilled water. They go to some lengths to explain all the chemicals currently found in our drinking water. There are also pages devoted to fasting and the benefits of trying this as a detox methodology.

I found all this info very useful. Had I been familiar with the Braggs I might not have bought the book because they are also quite religious. There are numerous references to religious practices thrown in amongst the info they impart on acv. I believe everyone has a right to their religious beliefs, nothing wrong with that, just not expecting to be preached at.... while trying to pick up health tips. It catches you off guard and becomes annoying.

The book does have lots of info on the practical benefits of daily use of acv in our diet. I especially liked what they said about using it to help strengthen your hair and to help restore your skin to a smooth clear appearance. I don't want to forget one of the main reasons I picked this book up at the health food store. The table of contents is very very detailed. You can scan for exactly the topics you want and go directly to that page. That's good so you can go directly to what ails you. So understand when you pick up this slim volume you get more than just acv recipes.
