We’ve been taking apple cider vinegar every day for several years.  I have read a lot of information about it and I know it does its part in keeping us healthy.

The last time I was sick was in 2008 and it had been 17 years since I had been sick before that. When I got sick in 2008, I started taking more apple cider vinegar and it immediately made my throat feel better. I think I was sick for a shorter time because of taking it.

So how do you take it? Well, now we put two tablespoons a day into our protein drink. You can’t taste it but it does add a nice tang. Our morning protein drink is the vehicle we use put all of the good things we want to ingest but don’t want to take in pill form (i.e. MSM, glutamine, Vitamin C, flax oil and our Juice Plus capsules).

If I were to start feeling sick, I would immediately put two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and chug it. It’s only gross for as long as it takes to go acccck acccck. Then it’s over.

To continue helping myself get well, I’d make a hot apple cider vinegar drink. For this, you’d take two cinnamon sticks and four whole cloves, pour boiling water over them and let them sit for a while. Then, when you want to make the drink, pour two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a cup with a little of this spice mixture, add stevia and hot water and Voila! Healthy, healing hot apple cider drink.

We buy Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar by the gallon. It contains “the mother” of vinegar which occurs naturally as strand-like enzymes of connected protein molecules. This apple cider vinegar is unfiltered, unheated, and unpasteurized.

So this is my advice to you. I give it to everyone who is sick and no one ever listens. Probably because I’m not a doctor and I don’t play one on TV.

But, I am healthy and I’ll take my apple cider vinegar to stay that way. 🙂
