Searching around on the net recently, overwhelming testimonials as to the miraculous healing powers of apple cider vinegar convinced me to finally give it a whirl. I am now addicted!
I'm hypoglycaemic, which means having too much sugar can cause me to feel rather loopy. And, having an insatiable sweet-tooth, I set off searching for ways of curbing my appetite for sugar. Lots of sources pointed to apple cider vinegar, especially in tablet form when combined with chrome - these were readily available at any health shop. The tablets themselves didn't have much effect on me, so I tried the liquid form and started to really notice a difference. Apple cider vinegar is thus, among other things, helpful for hypoglycaemia (where your body produces too much insulin) and slimming as it normalises blood sugar and insulin production while eating, preventing peaks which can lead to sugar cravings.
For those who wish to use it to curb appetite, it is recommended that you take 2 or 3 tablespoons of the vinegar mixed with a tall glass of water about 15 minutes before each meal. You can of course down the 3 tablespoons without diluting it - and many people find this easier, as it gets it over with quicker - but I tried this once and almost choked to death from the burning sensation it caused in my throat! Diluted in water it is certainly manageable and I have even grown to like it (in fact it tastes a lot like the sour calamansi juice I used to drink in The Philippines). In my case, I then become slightly fuller after eating my meal - at least full enough to prevent binging. Many people have reported it relieves them from any sweet cravings whatsoever and makes them crave salad - I personally still have a sweet-tooth, just less of an appetite to stomach it! Since I've been drinking apple cider vinegar before my meals, I've never had even the slightest hint of a hypoglycaemic attack. Finally, I can eat sweet things, in moderation, and not feel worse for wear! And what's more - there are absolutely no side effects.
To drink it regularly as above, there are two things to consider. One is that the vinegar is likely to be useless for the health purposes if it is not organic. Much apple cider vinegar available in supermarkets is not organic and does not contain a special enzyme (called the mother) that gives it a lot of its therapeutic properties. Still, organic cider vinegar is easy to get. I recommend Aspall's Organic Cyder Vinegar which is available from many health shops in London (not Holland and Barrett, however) and ridiculously cheap at around £2.99 for per litre, and I've managed to grab bottles from smaller health shops in both the Victoria and Whitechapel areas of London (_Greens_ and Don't Panic, It's Organic respectively). Secondly, the vinegar is obviously very acidic and can annihilate tooth enamel. Some people thus rub their teeth with (alkaline) baking soda afterwards, or brush their teeth. Others, like myself, simply drink it through a straw to avoid it coming into contact with my teeth.
The benefits of cider vinegar do not stop there; I've heard it can heal an all number of ailments from acid reflux, allergies, high cholesterol, arthritis, gout, high blood pressure and gastric discomfort. Not only that, but it is supposed to make your hair and skin shiny and glowing. Moreover, I have heard it offers unparalleled protection from gastric bacteria and even viruses - people who drank cider vinegar before eating bad meat at a barbecue were the only ones spared from severe food poisoning, and some who contracted the contagious winter stomach virus experienced relief from their symptoms after taking some apple cider vinegar. My guess is that the vinegar creates an environment in your body that is far too acidic for germs to survive in.
Lastly, it is of course a great-tasting ingredient in recipes. My personal favourite recipe for salad dressing includes apple cider vinegar, olive oil, mustard, sugar, basil, oregano and pepper - all to taste. Delightful!
In sum, apple cider vinegar really does have different effects on everybody but if you're like me and thousands of other people, it may cure an existing ailment or simply provide better protection from germs, or a ridiculously healthy salad dressing. You have nothing to lose by trying!

Advantages: Weight lose and healthy body Disadvantages: not the greatest to drink
Apple Cider Vinegar is frequently sold as a weight lose in tablet or powdered form but the best way to get it into your system is liquid form in 750ml bottles, usually found in the Health food section of supermarket or a Health Food store - it has a clear glass bottle no fancy packaging to cost you more money the price in New Zealand $10.50 which equates to about 3 - 4 pounds which is a little more but for your health it beats buying prescriptions ... ...get the full benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar you need to take 30 - 50 mls daily, the effects will not be instant it may take 2 or 3 months especially if you are taking it for weight lose but you must always remember that a healthy diet and exercise as well will help the process even faster.
When you drink it, it is best to drink it quickly otherwise you not drink it all and use a concentrate drink to help to take the power of the taste away. Don't ...

i have been taking apple cider vinegar for two years now, i hardly go to see my Gp, i tried to take it as regular as i can and i drink it instead of taking ordinary water. it makes me feel healthy from within. i would recommend it to everyone to try although the taste can put you off, you can try it with honey which in its self gives better result when you combine both.

...as well without any problems.
The ingredients are all 100% natural:
Manuka & Tawari honeys, applecidervinegar, vitamin c (ascorbic acid), bee propolis, echinacea, irish moss, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, clove lead oil, tea tree oil, fennel, fenugreek.
Contains NO added sugar, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and it is produced without using any animal by-products or testing.
5 - 10 mls taken every 2 - 3 hours from the teaspoon or added to warm water as a soothing drink.
It works especially well because of the honey as you take this medicine the honey acts as an anteseptic on the throat and as you swollow the honey will cling to the lining of the throat therefore getting to the problem areas straight away and it does taste delicious that you will have to hide it from the rest of the family.

Advantages: You will feel healthier, more positive and you will loose some weight. Disadvantages: You have to give up some foods you love.
...beans are all good.
Lentils (red worked for me)
Barley
Non wheat pasta (this is expensive but worth it!)
Sunflower oil/ground nut oil (any tasteless oil)
A good olive oil
Cidervinegar
Ryvitas, Oat cakes, rye bread (Any alternate to wheated bread really)
Honey
Mixed Seeds (linseed, sesame seed)
Nuts (not salted for snacks)
A water filter jug (if you can’t stand drinking tap water like me)
Some of these things you might have already but I do realise you’ll do a big shop at the beginning of the Detox. It is a little expensive BUT that’s only the first shop. It stays pretty economical there on in because you’ll only have to buy certain ingredients once.
OK So now I will tell you my experience of this detox. I will break it down into weeks for you, so you can see some of what to expect as you go through this plan...
