Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar – 1 or 2 tablespoons in 4 to 6 ounces of water three times daily eight hours apart.
Vinegar can help with the following
Hydrochloric Acid Deficiency
Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice taken with meals mildly stimulates hydrochloric acid production.
Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia Syndrome
May be an effective aid in the destruction of lipid-enveloped viruses, such as HIV, HHV-6 (strains A and B), EBV, CMV, and herpes.
Ear infection, External
For prevention purposes only, you can make your own eardrops by mixing equal parts white vinegar and rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. The vinegar restores the natural acidity of the ear canal, making it less susceptible to infection while the alcohol dries out the ear. Use 3 – 4 drops in each ear after swimming.
Fungal Skin / Nail Infection
Fungal infections of both fingernails and toenails can sometimes be resolved by using vinegar and honey. Place one tablespoon of each in a glass of water and drink once per day.
Dandruff
Apple cider vinegar used as a hair rinse after a shampoo has a reputation for balancing scalp pH levels, removing soap residue and controlling dandruff.
