have powerful properties to prevent disease and cure illnesses? An
apple a day may keep the doctor away, but apple cider vinegar is not

it to be.

I was reviewing an ebook on
vinegar remedies and uses recently, and came across some surprising
assertions. Despite the ebook author claiming that vinegar was not a
cure all, the list of complaints vinegar supposedly fixed was
astounding. Almost as astounding as the rationale behind using
vinegar to fix said complaints.
Apart from the evils of satisfying one's 'debased' taste buds over
nourishing the body - which is apparently the cause of all of modern
man's ills. The author suggests we start looking to 'natural
resources' that have been used in the days before Christ. Apparently
that was a bit of a turning point nutritionally.
Anyway, sunshine, water and air aside, its all herbs, honey, and
homebrews. These are the antidote to the 'unnatural chemical
compounds' that are plaguing us. Hmmm - that must be why our
ancestors lived about double the life span that we do. Oh, I'm
sorry, its we who live on average twice as long as our
ancestors...
It would be lovely if we could explain away the plethora of chronic
and acute illnesses that affect so many people. There is no doubt
that in some cases nutritional choice has played a causative or
aggravating factor in a person's ill health. But people who follow
very healthy, natural diets also get sick. People who exercise still
have heart attacks. The answer is not always simple, nor is it
always to be found by glorifying folk remedies or taking complex
Oriental classification systems and treatments out of context. Which
is not to say there is not some value, for certain things, in either
traditional medicine, or folk remedies.
But giving herbal treatments, or folk remedies, the veneer of pseudo
science, does not help anyone.
The author of this ebook stated, "a number of outstanding
authorities" have proven the 'therapeutic' value of using apple
cider vinegar for complaints ranging from obesity to arthritis -
without naming said authorities. And the chief rationale behind
apple cider vinegar's supposed wide ranging value is that, like
apples, it contains Phosphorous, Chlorine, Potassium, Sodium,
Magnesium, Calcium, Sulfur, Iron, Fluorine, Silicon, plus many trace
elements. And, Potassium.
Now, apple cider vinegar may in fact contain all of these things. It
certainly does contain potassium, but only very small amounts -
about 15mg per tablespoon as compared to 159 mg per apple, or 288 mg
for 10 rings of dried apple. Cider vinegar has no sodium, no
magnesium, and about 1 mg of calcium and phosphorus. Hardly
noteworthy. But that doesn't stop the book promoting apple cider
vinegar as encouraging the health of veins and capillaries, and
therefore heart health and blood pressure. And whilst we're at it,
it helps the blood clot better, though there is no explanation as to
this mechanism. By this rationale, tomorrow it will help colonize
mars. Presumably in the same mysterious way as it stores the fiber
this ebook attributes cider vinegar as having.
But just as apple cider vinegar in fact has no fiber - unlike apples
- so cider vinegar is not nearly as miraculous or mysterious as the
ebook's logic. Vinegar may in fact have promise in cleaning without
having to resort to harsh chemicals. And in may also be beneficial
for some health purposes. But it does not do nearly as much as is
claimed. And by creatively linking it to every ailment imaginable,
it serves to turn herbal remedies into a bad joke. Mars anyone?
