Bragg Paul C., Bragg Patricia. Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System

Fifty-fourth Edition. — Health Science, 2003. — 129 p.Research worldwide supports and commends what Hippocrates (the father of medicine) found and treated his patients with in 400 B.C. He discovered that natural, undistilled Apple Cider Vinegar (or ACV)* is a powerful cleansing and healing elixir – a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs, bacteria, mold and viruses – for a healthier, stronger, longer life!
The versatility of ACV as a powerful body cleansing agent is legendary. It’s been traced to Egyptian urns as far back as 3000 B.C. The Babylonians used it as a condiment and preservative, while Julius Caesar’s army used ACV tonic to stay healthy and fight off disease. The Greeks and Romans kept vinegar vessels for healing and flavoring. It was used in Biblical times as an antiseptic and a healing agent and is mentioned in the Bible. In Paris in the Middle Ages it was sold from barrels by street vendors as a body deodorant, healing tonic and delicious vinegar drink to keep the body healthy and ageless.
Even Christopher Columbus and crew on his voyage to discover America in 1492 had vinegar barrels for prevention of scurvy as did U.S. Civil war soldiers. It helped disinfect and heal their wounds. For centuries in Japan, the feared Samurai warriors drank it for strength and power. ACV has been used for thousands of years not only for health reasons, but as a cleansing agent to remove bacteria, germs, odors, and even stains and spots.
Natural (undistilled) organic, raw ACV can really be called one of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods. It is made from fresh, crushed apples which are then allowed to mature naturally in wooden barrels, as wood seems to “boost” the natural fermentation. Natural ACV should be a rich, brownish color and if held to the light you might see a tiny formation of “cobweb-like” substances we call the miracle “mother”. Usually some “mother” shows at bottom of bottle as it ages more. It never needs refrigeration. You can also save some “mother” and transfer it to work in other natural vinegars. When you smell natural ACV, there’s a pungent odor and sometimes it’s so ripened it puckers your mouth and smarts your eyes – these are natural, good signs.Paul C. Bragg, Leading Lifestyle Authority
