First of all, its packed with pectin a potent soluble fiber that sweeps through the bloodstream, cleansing out the bad cholesterol that clogs arteries and causes most cardiovascular problems. When made from fresh apples cider vinegar contains a large amount of pectin. As a soluble fiber it works its way slowly through the body.

HEADACHES

Most headaches are caused by too much alkali in the system say many nutritionist and naturopathic physicians. When the body chemistry is changed back to a natural acidity headaches dissappear or lessen in severity. Dr Jarvis firmly believes that the best way to restore your bodys natural acidity level is to drink a soloution of ACV and water at every meal. For very bad headaches he suggests doubling the amount of ACV. He also recommends 2 teaspoonsful of honey at each meal as a way to prevent headaches. If the headache does not appear, take a no process of digestion and will quickly be in the bloodstream, the headache will often lessen by the end of a half hour. If not another teaspoonful of honey should be taken.

Lean your head over the pan and inhale the fumes. You can concentrate the effects by draping a towel over your head while breathing the vapor. According to Dr. Jarvis prescription inhale fumes for 75 breaths. Generally you will find that the headache stops for about half an hour. If it starts again it will be 50 percent less severe. The use of the headache tablets can be stopped if the apple cider vinegar fumes method is emplyed.

* The same treatment works with a modern vaporizer just add a few drops of ACV to the water. Lie quietly and breathe the vapors for about five minutes. In most cases the headache will be gone in 20 minutes.

INFECTIONS

A single dose of apple cider vinegar is packed with about 30 vital nutrients a dozen minerals half a dozen vitamins, essental amino acids perctin and enzymes all critical to good health. What researchers still arent sure of is why apple cider vinegar is such a powerful antiseptic and anibiotic and why it promotes faster healing. Scientists say that the precise ingredients of apple cider vinegar may vary according to the type and condition of the apples used. Laboratory researchers who investigated the health properties of apple cider vinegar reported that this marvelous substance contains no less than 93 different compunds that are considered important to good health and a balanced metabolism. For hundreds of years, folk medicine has prescribed vinegar or aplle cider vinegar to treat internal and external infections for two reasons....the antiseptic componetnt of ACV kills germs on contact while its antibiotic content contains good bacteria that attacks the microorganisms causing the infection. Here are some of the infections treated with ACV.

EAR INFECTIONS

Apple cider vinegar has been used to treat chronic middle ear infections when traditional drug therapies fail. The usual treatment is to place a few drops of ACV into the infective ear for half a minute then tilt your head to the other side so the viegar drains out.

URINARY KIDNEY BLADDER INFECTIONS

Thousands of people suffer from urinary tract, kidney or bladder infections ailments that recur frequently and often show strong resistance to treatment by antiviotics. Nutrutionists and naturalists believe ACV can cure these ailments apple cider vinegar when taken daily maintains an acid environment in the urinary tract that greatly reduces the likelihood of a stubborn kidney or bladder infection.

* Apple cider vinegar combats inflamation of the kidneys, an infection that can lead to a backup of toxins and blood poisoning. The acid in vinegar makes the urinary tract unfriendly to germs. Two teaspoons of vinegar in water can also prevent a potentially dangerous condition called pyelitis, in which pus cells originating in the bladder are present in the urine. Others suggest adding a cup of apple cider vinegar to a warm bath twice a day helps to heal bladder infections. According to Dr. Jarvis apple cider vinegar is a poweful infection fighter because it keeps moisture away from the harmful bacteria that needs it to survive. If the process goes unchecked and the bacteria continu to multiply they rob the body of fluids. In the case of E. coli bacteria untreated infections can easily lead to death. Of course you shouldnt let any infection progress to that stage before you seek medical attention, but in Dr Jarvis view there is no better way to protect against the invasion of life threatening bacteria than by forming a daily habit of ingesting ACV before each meals.If there is enough potassium in each body cell it will draw moisture from the bacteria, instead of the bacteria taking moisture from the body cells. It is by eating foods which are a source of potassium such as fruit berries edible leaves, edible roots, honey and ACV that the body cells are provided with the moisture attrating potassium needed to fight bacteria.

SKIN

Scientist tell us that ACV is effective in treating skin disorders, from acne to warts because the pH is identical to normal healthy skin. Apply ACV to the damaged areas will help normalize the pH on the skins surface and foster healing.

SUNBURN

Several home remedies suggestbathing as quickly as possible after sun exposure in a cool to lukewarm bath to which 1 or 2 cups of ACv have been added. Lightly pat the sunburned skin with ACV to relieve the sting and burning sensation.
