I tried some apple cider vinager (about one ounce)and wasnt to bad because i mixed it with honey and water. I feel a little tingle in tummy but thats about it. I will see if i feel any better soon. I am not feeling bad to begin with, but I will still try and be observant of my body.
I am a little undecided at the moment if it will be worth taking daily, or only when I think i might be getting sick.
I also am interested in taking a few drops of hydrogen peroxide a few times a day. I am not going to use the 3% kind, but only the 35% kind. This kind is sopossed to be food grade. Doing this is sopossed to help my body and oxygenate cells to give me more energy. Anyone try this before?
What about ingesting iodine to help out your glands in your neck, witch will kill any germs or bacteria?
I had ringworm on my foot and put ACV on it and GONE in 3 days.
An ounce of juniper berry flavored ethanol tops it off nicely
But there’s no reliable evidence that such “oxygenation therapy” has any medical value.
While the results of these studies are promising, they are all preliminary. Many were done on animals or on cells in a lab. The human studies have been small. Before we will truly know whether vinegar has any health benefits, much larger studies are needed.
Toxic Substances Board member Dr Robert Mann, who says potentiated pollen should "not be permitted for human consumption" in the absence of proper facts. "On the one hand, honey, for example, is subject to the Medicines Act as soon as it claims anything beneficial about itself. It's like someone who produces a bottle of water, and as soon as they say it will quench your thirst if you are dehydrated, it becomes therapeutic terminology.
The National Research Council has established a Recommended Dietary Allowance for iodine of 150 micrograms per day (µg/day), with additional allowances of 25 µg/day during pregnancy and 50 µg/day during nursing.
Iodine is needed for your thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. You and your thyroid gland are healthy when there is just enough iodine in your body, about 10-15 milligrams, so that just the right amount of thyroid hormones are produced. This amount would look like much less than a pinch of table salt if placed in your hand. This amount of iodine is in most people when they eat the foods that people normally eat in the United States. Your thyroid gland can become unhealthy if more or less than this amount of iodine is in your body. An unhealthy thyroid gland can affect your entire body. If the thyroid gland cannot make enough hormone, then you would have to be given thyroid hormone in pills. If your thyroid gland makes too much hormone, then you would have to be given drugs to make your thyroid make less hormone. Radioactive iodine can also be unhealthy for your thyroid gland. If too much radioactive iodine enters your body, the radioactive iodine will destroy your thyroid gland so that the gland will stop making hormones. Too much radioactive iodine in your body can also cause thyroid nodules or cancer.
As you can see, you must find out on your own what works for you. The FDA is good in some ways, but in my opinion is holding back on doing the research on these natrual cures. Is it because they are in bed with the pharmacutacial companies? We will see.....

I would like to try this, but absolutely cannot abide the taste of honey.
Would it be worthwhile to try the acv alone, or would there be another substitute for the honey?

I found this study here:
There are mixed results.
Some pros and cons when replacing sugar with honey. It depends on the individuals health and condition.
Consider, Honey is a sweet, viscous fluid made by honeybees from the nectar of flowering plants. Honey is sweeter than sugar (100% sucrose), has more calories than sugar and raises the blood sugar even more than white sugar.
Raw honey reportedly has medicinal benefits and contains enzymes and small amounts of minerals and B-complex vitamins.
All i know is it works for me for energy. Is it a placebo effect? I dont think it is.
I hope i dont start gaining weight from eating all this honey. I think i will continue this honey regiment for a while and see if i get sick or start to gain weight.
Thank you. I had a friend who did it the same way, but with garlic to bring her cholestrol down, which it did actually help.
