Cider vinegar in the home

The daily intake of cider vinegar helps to correct and maintain the body’s acid–alkaline balance. Apples are very helpful for the human body – whether in the form of apple juice or cider vinegar, treatment results are excellent. No other vinegars can produce the same results as cider vinegar, and for so many conditions.

The vinegar should be made from crushed whole apples. It is very important to read the labels on the cider-vinegar bottle to ensure that it is made from crushed whole apples and not from apple peelings and cores as some vinegars are.

When I make soups, stews and casseroles, I feel that a vital, health-giving ingredient is omitted if I forget to add at least two teaspoons of cider vinegar. When vinegar is required in a recipe, I always use cider vinegar. In this way, I know that all my family are getting a wonderfully healthy diet. I have never had a case of food poisoning in the family, and I believe that, while I keep adding cider vinegar to the food, I never will.

Cider vinegar is excellent with vegetables and other food, such as lamb, for making mint sauce, etc. It is also a most cooling, refreshing summer drink. Add one dessertspoonful of cider vinegar to a large glass of cold water, and sip.

We build and rebuild our bodies through the food we eat, the fluids we drink and the air we breathe. Sickness is a signpost telling us that we have wandered off the road to health, and we must do something to put it right.

I have been trained in orthodox medicine, and I have studied and practised the alternative, natural method of healing for the past 50 years – first in my own family and then in treating many and varied conditions in my clinic. In my experience, the natural way is the best way. Drugs (as prescribed in orthodox medicine) suppress symptoms, and, in so doing, can often cause irreversible damage to the body. Natural treatments heal gently.

Always remember that two teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water with or before each meal will ensure an excellent potassium-enriched meal. But in this chapter, I also want to tell you various ways of making cider vinegar palatable, using it in different recipes. We will also look at its uses throughout the house in different situations.

In winter, especially, soup is very satisfying. Summer soups can be delicious too – but on a cold winter’s evening, after a day’s work, there is nothing quite so warming as a bowl of nourishing soup. The following are some quick and easy recipes that can be made in advance and frozen if you wish.
