Subject: Have any of you ever heard or tried this?

I've found some threads posted dealing with how to combat all the toxins in the air, food, water, bacterias, and different virus's we get. They have been looking into past history of how flu's and smallpox etc were treated and come up with Vinegar with Mother in it. Not distilled but the Mother kind. One person asked their 90 year old doctor and he takes the VM everyday. Seems it helped save people from the smallpox also. I guess Mother looks like webs in the brownish liquid. It can be made at home or you can find it in some stores or health food stores. Was wondering if any of you had older realatives who have ever used it. Its supposed to clear all the toxins out of the system and improve your immune system. Good for migraines too one lady said. Another said she bathed in it and it cleared up her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which likely came from what is in soap. Good for joint pain too. Don't know if any of you are interested, but with the side effects of modern day meds, [Vioxx causing meningitis I read today] here is a site for this type Vinegar which might explain it better.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BRAGG ORGANIC, RAW, UNFILTERED APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH THE 'MOTHER'
This page is here to help enlighten you, our friends and customers, about the most common areas of interest concerning Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). By presenting you with a cross section of frequently asked questions we hope to provide you with simple concise answers to your queries.

A Timely and Interesting Historical Health Note...
...For Small Pox one thing I uncovered was Hempel's work with Acetic Acid in the form of VINEGAR!! Two Tbsp after breakfast and in the evening for two weeks. To half-grown and feeble persons he gave 1/2 this dose. Almost the whole village had been stricken and not one died even if they had been quite stricken. 8 out of 10 who were exposed didn't even catch it all. "A small number of the sick was but little affected; pustules were few and sequela none."

- Medical and Surgical Reporter, March 1873
What is Natural Apple Cider Vinegar? Different from the refined and distilled vinegars usually found in supermarkets, Natural Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fresh, crushed, organically grown apples and allowed to mature in wooden barrels, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. When mature, it contains a web-like substance, called "mother", which becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. The mother can be used to add to other vinegar to hasten maturity for more Apple Cider Vinegar.

What is the nature of the Mother?
The mother is the dark, cloudy substance in the ACV – formed from naturally occuring pectin and apple residues - it appears as molecules of protein connected in strand-like chains. The presence of the mother shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the mother contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not contain due to overprocessing, filteration and overheating.

Why is ACV not pasteurized?
Pasteurization is the heating process intended to remove potential problem bacteria from consumable liquids such as milk, juices etc. However, this process will also remove delicate nutrients and enzymes that may constitute a major portion of the food value of that consumable. In the case of Bragg’s Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, pasteurization would eliminate the "mother", a major health giving factor of our vinegar.

Is it okay to eat/drink the Mother?
The mother is the most nutritious part of the Apple Cider Vinegar and is very beneficial to digest. Often the ‘mother’ settles to the bottom of the bottle. We recommend shaking the bottle lightly to distribute the ‘mother’ before dispensing.

Since Apple Cider Vinegar is unpasteurized, is it protected from E.Coli bacteria?
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar does not carry the E.Coli bacteria as the acidity in the vinegar is effective in killing the 0-157 strain of E.Coli bacteria.

Does Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar need to be refrigerated?
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar does not need to be refrigerated. We only recommend that you keep the product out of direct sunlight in a relatively cool location.

What is the shelf life of Apple Cider Vinegar?
ACV has an FDA required "official" shelf life of three to five years after the bottling date (found on the bottle), however, experience has shown that the product is safe, usable and effective for an indefinite period if kept out of direct sunlight.

Is Apple Cider Vinegar safe to take during pregnancy?
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar is safe to take during and after pregnancy. It helps to rid the body of toxins and may even help with any complications that may arise or have arisen with the pregnancy (i.e. bladder, skin and digestion problems as well as constipation and muscle soreness).

Is it possible to take too much Apple Cider Vinegar?
There is no clear limit as to how much Apple Cider Vinegar an individual can or should ingest. However, one should remember that, as with anything in life, one can have "too much of a good thing". It is recommended that an individual take the ACV cocktail three times a day for maximum results. The cocktail consists of 1 to 2 tsps. organic raw ACV mixed with 1 to 2 tsps. raw honey in a glass of distilled water.

Is it necessary to add honey to ACV?
It is not imperative to add honey to the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar cocktail; just use ACV and distilled water instead. We receive many letters from people who tell us about the many health benefits that they attribute to taking the Bragg ACV without adding honey. Honey is recommended because it has proven bioactive antibiotic and antiseptic properties and contains the vitamins and enzymes necessary for the proper digestion and metabolism of glucose. It does add health benefits to the ACV cocktail, but fortunately the ACV has plenty of health uses and benefits without the honey.

Is it okay to take the Apple Cider Vinegar by itself?
It is recommended that you take the Apple Cider Vinegar diluted with water or juice. Because Apple Cider Vinegar acts like a sponge, drawing out germs and toxins from the body tissues, it may cause you discomfort if you choose to digest the vinegar using spoonfuls only.

What, exactly, are the internal and external benefits attributed to ACV?
Following the old cliché, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," apples are one of the oldest, most nutritious foods on earth. They are rich in potassium, a mineral many of us are deficient in, and a deficiency that causes old age to creep upon us sooner. Calcium maintains our hard tissues such as bones, and potassium is the equivalent to the body’s soft tissues, keeping the body’s flesh and arteries soft and resilient. Fresh, organic apples are used to make Apple Cider Vinegar, which contains necessary ingredients, such as enzymes, and life-stimulating minerals, mainly potassium, in a natural state. Besides being a natural stimulant for vitality, Apple Cider Vinegar cleanses and restores nutrients to the body so that the body can heal itself.
