all natural healing with apple cider vinegar
HV Tonic

Certified raw unheated unfiltered unpasturized organic apple cider vinegar is one of the absolute best foods you can purchase... drink, eat, cook with, clean with...

I found this article on the internet, written by a lady who tells it better than I can, and I totally agree with her:


"I grew up suffering from sinuses never knowing that it was an allergy to dairy until I was well into my 30’s.

I discovered in the late 70’s what I call my “Allergy Reliever” when I happened by chance on this health food store and saw the book about the benefits of organic apple cider vinegar* and that was my education and path to an alternative remedy to some allergies and detoxing.

Overall Health Recipe:
* 8 oz Filtered Water - warm enough to melt honey
* 1 to 2 teaspoons Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
* 1 to 2 teaspoons Honey

Honey comes from flowers and has a very light energy. We recommend honey from flowers that are known to provide support for heart and lungs. Use local honey to help provide relief from allergies and build immunity.

When apple cider and honey combine, the chemical formula of each changes. If you have concern about the acid content of apple cider vinegar or the sugar content of honey, you may find that the two working together do not produce negative results. Adjust the amount of vinegar and honey for your own needs.


I learned that apple cider vinegar is a little known but ancient holistic remedy. Only the organic apple cider vinegar has what the holistic community calls “the Mother”, which, upon first introduction, doesn’t look or sound very appetizing. But what comprises this apple by product, is amazing! Over 50 amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and a basic acidic level that is antibacterial and anti-fungal and gives the immune system an incredible boost unlike anything else.

You might also be surprised to learn apple cider vinegar (organic, unfiltered not processed or pasteurized) was used in ancient times not only for health reasons, but also as a cleaning solution to fighting (or getting rid of) bacteria, germs, odors, and even stains and spots!

Its’ an emulsifier (liquefier of fats) of cholesterol, fat, mucus, arterial and joint deposits that can cause serious health problems. I have taken and maintained it for years and stopped getting colds or flu. Until I happened to be working the front desk of a hotel and the staff, one by one, came down with this aggressive flu outbreak. I was the last healthy person manning the front desk by myself when I finally got it. But what were my symptoms after being on this maintenance program for years?

A headache and a sore throat! And those symptoms only lasted a couple of days.

It has an impressive list of benefits to those with an open mind seeking alternative solutions:

Helps promote a healthy heart and lungs
Maintains healthy skin
Strengthens and supports the immune system
Slows down the aging process
Helps to not only detox the body but helps to keep arteries cleared and strong.

This is only a sampling of the many benefits that organic apple cider vinegar is known for. Look through any good search engine and you may come up with more.

My suggestion is to first try apple cider vinegar. Shop for it at any good health food store or organic market. The label for organic is quite different than the regular processed vinegar. Only look in outlets offering organic and holistic products, fruit and vegetables. When you read the label, look for words like, “Raw”, “Unpasteurized”, “cold-processed” but the most obvious is the cloudy dark mass at the bottom, called “The Mother”. Always shake it well before consuming.**

Also, be aware that there are different ways to get used to taking apple cider vinegar on a regular basis, especially if you start to make excuses not to.


Just one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water at meals can change your life completely

How? Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which stimulates the production of stomach acid. The more stomach acid the better as it breaks down your food into smaller molecules. The smaller the molecules the more efficiently your intestines and liver can absorb the nutrients it needs. In the old days the stomach would be producing acid all day long so it would be ready for meal time. But these days when the body is stressed the stomach stops producing acid so at meal time there's not enough acid to digest the food. This creates all kinds of problems; indigestion, gastric reflux, IBS, bad breath, diverticulus, fatty liver, lactose intolerance, allergies, fatigue, you name it. But just a little bit of apple cider vinegar gets the stomach working again."

Anti-oxidant Weight Loss Alkalinization Recipe:
* 10 oz very warm filtered or spring water
* 1/2 tsp baking soda, stir well
* 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (add slowly)
* juice from 2 fresh squeezed organic lemons
* 1 Tbs raw organic honey (local best)
* 1 tsp cayenne pepper

Take a stronger concoction (more vinegar, less water) directly after a heavy meal for weight loss and acid reflux symptoms.

Go on a fast for one day, only sip this "lemonade" the second day, only liquids and this lemonade the third day, chicken noodle soup and the lemonade (or cabbage soup) the fourth day -- add fresh veggies, not carrots. And the fifth day, one regular meal and the lemonade, and you can be anywhere from 10 to 15 pounds thinner, and feel great!"


I have personally been using the pure cider/honey mix, no water, just a squirt into my mouth a couple of times a day for over 20 years now. Along the way if I ran out and went for several days without, things would creep back in... trouble staying asleep, little nagging aches and pains, the weight would creep back up around my middle, and just felt "off".
