Reading this book is very enlighting. The medical community is coming around to the authors way of thinking. Apple cider vinager is such a staple of life. It has come full circle from the writting of this book to now. It makes me stop and think how simple his suggestions are in comparasion to what todays doctors expect you to do and pills to take. If you are at all interested in apple cider vinager and it's benefits, then this book is well worth it.

In 1988 my Mom could not sit, feed herself, or function in a multitude of ways. The crazy thing was this all occured within a 30 day stretch of time. She was diagnosed w/severe arthritis & put on heavy meds. They gave her some relief but that is all. I took out every book in the county library determined to find a cure. After researching through many, many books I came across this little gem. I will tell you that I immediately started my mother on apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. When we returned for her first revisit to her rhumetologist there was no swelling, or outward appearances of her ever having had arthritis. He had us go to the lab for bloodwork, and called us within a couple of days. So back we went, only for him to tell us that there were no longer any indications of the arthritis, and had he not examined her himself initially he would swear that we got the wrong lab work. My Mom passed away in 2009 and never had another day of arthritic pain. Not only that, but her severe struggles with phlegm disappeared also. These are a few of the things I learned from this book. This doctor should be lauded for his years of searching for the reason why a whole area of the US is/was arthritis free; that's right, no arthritis in the populace for over a decade. Do yourself a favor & read this gem.

I heard about this book through my doctor. Before reading this book, I had read the great benefits of apple cider vinegar. I started regularly drinking it every morning as well as using it on my skin, and have noticed a difference. This book was written in the 50's, but has a lot of interesting points about ACV uses.

It’s a pick up or put down book, some very good old-fashioned remedies which were quite interesting. But certainly not a book for me.
