Apple Cider Vinegar : Miracle Health System

Rating:
Summary: Miracle in a Bottle
Review: Apple cider vinegar is a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that miraculously fights germs and bacteria. Since Hippocrates in 400 BCE, people have been treated with natural apple cider vinegar for its powerful healing and cleansing qualities. This book tells you how vinegar works and how to use it.

Do not be confused by the low price on this book. Health Science prints in such large quantities, they can afford to keep their prices low. Over six million copies of this book are in print. That is way past bestsellerdom.

Paul Bragg started the health food movement. His Daughter, the Amazing Patricia Bragg, is accelerating their tradition of promoting the healthy lifestyle. She publishes a number of health-nutrition books and markets her own brand of apple cider vinegar, olive oil and aminos. See her picture on the bottles.

I have known Health Science and Patricia Bragg and have followed her healthy lifestyle program for over 20 years.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend Health Science books to anyone not tired of living. [e-mail].

Review: Apple Cider Vinegar is the icing on the cake. This is a must read book along with Paul and Patricia's Fasting and water books! I had always heard about Apple Cider Vinegar but just thought is was some natural drink. Everyone in the world should be drinking this on a daily basis! The book is extremely informative and delightful to read. It answers all your questions and then some. Patricia and Paul have out done themselves once again...Their books have changed my life!!!

Review: Apple Cider Vinegar tastes horrible,but if you can learn to keep it down,its very beneficial.Fortunately,you need not drink it straight.You simply add a few teaspoons to a glass of purified water;you can also add it with raw honey to water.My dad takes apple cider vinegar with water whenever he eats food that is suspect.He has never gotten sick with food poisoning,although many of his colleagues have! For antiseptic purposes,ordinary Heinz or generic apple cider vinegar is acceptable.However,for nutritional purposes,you should use organic,raw,unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the "mother" of vinegar.Unfiltered vinegar is preferrable.This type of vinegar can be found at a natural foods supermarket.I prefer Bragg or Spectrum Naturals brands.This book will help you use vinegar to maximum benefit.

Summary: helpful info
Review: I found this book to be helpful. It includes information about making drinking water and shower water safer. I found that mixing vinegar, honey and apple cinnamon tea together makes the taste more tolerable. While I can't say tat I have had dramatic weight loss with ACV, I do see subtle improvements. Other people have noticed a change as well.

Summary: Unprofessional and Insensitive
Review: I work for a Natural Health Product company, and recently purchased this "book" in order to better understand the popularity of Apple Cider Vinegar. This book lacks relevant, well supported information on the mechanism of action of the product and contains mere testimonials from the authors alone. I was appalled at the language used from authors that claim to have Ph D's. The language used is completely unprofessional and in fact insulting to many readers, especially given that the product is mostly used for weight loss. I quote "[When you see fat people walking around, it is likely that they have stuffed too much fuel into their bodies]". This is only one of the many displays of unprofessional language used within the book. Also, it should be noted that this "book" contains many prayers, which I found to be completely inappropriate to the topic and offensive given its Christain basis. Frankly, I have no idea how this book was ever approved for publish; any affiliation to this "book" should be considered a great embarassment by any reputable publisher. To the potential readers of this "book" I would say, don't waste your time.

Summary: A book with a quick glance at apple cider vinegar.
Review: The book is overall a general advertisement and mishmash of different possibilities towards healthful living. I expected a much more thorough work on apple cider vinegar and its effects on health. In reality the contents of this ~100 page book which are relevant to the title could easily be placed on a booklet of a few pages. Considering the price I paid for this book I feel jipped. Having said that I do feel that the few informational pages were worth reading (though you could easily get the same info off the internet for the price of a phone call).

Summary: Lots of info on health, some on food & a dose of religion.
Review: The Bragg's were definitely into a providing the public with healthful info about the need to protect your precious health even if it was a little uneven and heavy handed. This book is full of different methods to use apple cider vinegar(acv) to keep our bodies in optimal shape. I think what was surprising for me is the book has info on a healthy lifestyle in general. They definitely support a raw food diet with periodic fasting and acv to keep everything running optimally. There is also quite a bit of info to support the drinking of distilled water. They go to some lengths to explain all the chemicals currently found in our drinking water. There are also pages devoted to fasting and the benefits of trying this as a detox methodology.

I found all this info very useful. Had I been familiar with the Braggs I might not have bought the book because they are also quite religious. There are numerous references to religious practices thrown in amongst the info they impart on acv. I believe everyone has a right to their religious beliefs, nothing wrong with that, just not expecting to be preached at.... while trying to pick up health tips. It catches you off guard and becomes annoying.

The book does have lots of info on the practical benefits of daily use of acv in our diet. I especially liked what they said about using it to help strengthen your hair and to help restore your skin to a smooth clear appearance. I don't want to forget one of the main reasons I picked this book up at the health food store. The table of contents is very very detailed. You can scan for exactly the topics you want and go directly to that page. That's good so you can go directly to what ails you. So understand when you pick up this slim volume you get more than just acv recipes.

Summary: Prove them now...give it a try!!
Review: This book is full of information about a product that has been around for centuries, and will not do you any harm. My husband and his whole family have lived on Zantac, Prilosec, Tums, with not much relief..just more drugs. When I heard about cider vinegar (from another book) I told my husband to try it; he didn't think there was much to it. Then, I bought the Bragg Amino Acids from my health food store and this book on Apple Cider Vinegar.

This time, I just started giving him the vinegar honey drink twice a day for a week. He noticed SIGNIFICANT changes in his digestion and has been able to cut back on the Tums, etc. What he didn't realize is that he was LACKING enough stomach acid, and the pills were reducing his acid even more!!!

The Braggs aren't the only ones who know about cider vinegar and it's benefits. I've read books by James Balch MD (Prescription for Nutritional Healing), and M. Ted Morton (Your Health, Your Choice), and they concur on the use of vinegar for indigestion. The Braggs just take the information and expand on the use of vinegar.

The Braggs are vegetarians (I am not), but I still incorporate their advice and wisdom. They are living testimonies to what they teach, and I've learned that prevention if far easier than any "cure"!

Review: What I liked about this book is that it gave recipes for household use and it also listed healthy recipes to eat or drink. While I don't agree with everything the author says in the book, I found it worthwhile to read.
