Apple Cider Vinegar CuresDo apple cider vinegar cures actually work? Put in another context, can cider vinegar cure disease or other health issues you may have? If you browse the internet or read books about vinegar you will find all kinds of conflicting information, claims and testimonials. Some people swear by it while other “scientific minded” people scoff and ridicule. Where is the proof?Unfortunately there isn’t any real money to be made from apple cider vinegar cures (that is why they are referred to as vinegar HOME remedies) so no one wants to cover the costs of researching the effects of vinegar on our health.According to Webster’s Dictionary:Cure
2. Prepare by chemical processing in order to preserve; "cure meats". Remedy
2. A medicine or therapy that cures disease or relieves pain.
2. Provide relief for. Note the highlighted words in the above definitions. In many cases, anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that apple cider vinegar cures have some effect in these areas so can we safely say … Apple cider vinegar cures do work at least for some people. Do you think I am being too generous in applying these definitions to vinegar claims? Well then let’s shift our attention to some traditional, scientifically approved treatments that we all KNOW are valid “cures”. Prescription DrugsTake prescription drugs for instance. We all know that, for some people, some medications can relieve pain but do they cure pain?Do they even cure the condition that caused the pain? What happens when you stop taking them? And of course the very important fine print must be considered. What are the possible side effects? Non-Prescription DrugsMy favorite drug to drag out and examine is a member of the class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)Aspirin is well known for its ability to relieve minor aches and pains but did you know that we don’t really understand how it works? It just works! But does it work for everyone? Does it really cure anyone of anything? What is He Saying?What I am trying to impress upon you is that, in many cases, the results of traditional medicine are not much better than many home remedies. We have just been brainwashed to trust in them rather than grandmother's old remedies.DO NOT read from this that I am against medicine and am advising you to trust your life in natural home remedies; far from it. I just want you to open your mind to other options that may help you without having to resort to drugs and chemicals for every single ailment that comes your way. Remember - Many of the same criticisms leveled at vinegar remedies and other home remedies can also be used against “traditional” medications if we take a negative attitude towards them. In many cases vinegar will help you with your health, so before you are dissuaded by the nay sayers try it in your own situation and judge for yourself. If it doesn't help, it doesn’t mean you were given bad information. It may just mean that there is something different about you or your condition. At least you can be confident that …..
Aspirin can induce angioedema in some people. ... Aspirin causes an increased risk of cerebral microbleeds that is the appearance .... Such cerebral microbleeds are important since they often occur prior to ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage, Binswanger disease and Alzheimers Disease.” ... does not apply to you when you try apple cider vinegar. :-)
