APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

In January 1996, I was taking care of Mrs. Jean Circelli in Chicago, IL. From her residence, McDonald's is four houses away walk. We had hamburgers for lunch several times every week. One day after eating a burger, I cannot burp! Mrs. Circelli did not eat her burger because she was asleep. I checked the ingredients of the burger and fresh onions which I cannot eat was included. I was very uncomfortable for more than a day. I drank a few glasses of water little by little, and went upstairs and layed down on my stomach on the bed because I thought it would help me burp.

Before two O'clock in the afternoon, I walked to a grocery store and bought Pepsid AC and a bottled water because I wanted to drink 2 pcs. of the medicines right after I paid them. I continued drinking it after every four hours until I drank all the medicines. My discomfort didn't go away. I wasn't able to sleep during the night because of the discomfort.

On the following day, I continued drinking water little by little but still it didn't help me a bit. And while I was on bed in the afternoon, I remembered my mom. She was eating a few pieces of vinegar-soaked green beans once a day, daily, while we were eating lunch. She never had a problem with food indigestion.

I immediately got up. I ran down and went to the kitchen, and opened the cabinets to find the vinegar. When I found it, I took a glass, filled it with water, added at least 1/2 teaspoon of Apple Cedar Vinegar, and drank it. In less that five seconds, I burped! I was freed from food indigestion.

It never bothered me again for more than 3 months but when it did, I immediately drank water with vinegar.

I was taking care of Mrs. Esther Oberman in Northbrook, IL. It was December 26, 2001, I brought a leftover Beef Caldereta for their dinner that morning. I went home at eight in the evening after cleaning the dishes, putting the pots away, and so on.

On the following day, Mr. Harry Oberman opened the door for me and said,

"I'm having a stomach problem, it might be caused by the food we ate last night."

I didn't say anything but proceeded to attend to his wife who was still in the bedroom.

When Mrs. Oberman was eating her breakfast, her husband walked up to her and told her,

"Honey, I'm staying home today because I don't feel good. My stomach is bothering me."

"What happened, honey?" She asked.

"It might have caused by the food we ate last night," he replied.

Then he walked to the couch and sat down.

I went to the kitchen and took the vinegar bottle from the bottom of the sink, took a glass and filled it with 1/3 of water, added a few drops of vinegar and walk up to him at the front room where he was sitting, and offered it to him to drink,

"Sir, please drink this. I've been drinking it since 1996 when I had food indigestion the first time. I recommended it to my friend and some people who told me they have the same problem," I related.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It's just water with a few drops of vinegar, Sir," I replied.

Before he took the glass from me, he said,

"I hope you knew what you're doing."

After drinking the vinegar water, he gave me back the glass. I kept quiet and turned around to go back to the kitchen.

After a few seconds, I heard the jacket closet was opened, and heard him,

"I'm going to the office, honey," he said.

He walked to his wife as he was putting his jacket on and kissed her.

"You just said a while ago that you are not going to the office because you are not feeling well," she said.

"I feel better now, honey," he replied.

Then he headed to the door and went out.

In 2006, I stopped by very early in the morning at a gas station in Chicago to fill up the gas tank before I headed to visit my Medicare residents. I was wearing my white uniform. I got out of the car and started filling the tank. While I was filling the tank, a man from the other car started walking up toward me and said,

"Hi, good morning. My name is Marcos. I have a problem with food indigestion. Are you a doctor, a nurse? I would like to know what you could recommend so I finally could stop taking the medicine which was prescribed for me because it's very expensive."

I answered, "Do you like apple cider vinegar?"

"Yes, I like vinegar," he replied.

"Take 1/3 glass of water and add a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar and drink it. After a few seconds, the food indigestion will be gone," I continued.

"Can I have your phone number so I could call you to let you know if it works for me," he asked.

So I gave him my phone number. On the following day, he called me and told me that my recommendation of vinegar water worked. I told him,

" I'm glad you will never have a prolonged problem of indigestion, Marcos."

He told me that he will share the remedy to his friends to get rid of food indigestion and thanked me before he hung up the phone but I told him to thank the LORD because He alone gave me the remedy.

Maurice is my friend and a travel agent. One afternoon in April 2005, he came and delivered two plane tickets to Philippines for my dad and me. He stayed for a while and started telling me that he has a problem with food indigestion, that he is suffering from it at least twice a week and sometimes it's three times a week. I told him about drinking 1/3 glass of water with a few drops of vinegar. He said,

"I'll try it because I have been suffering from it for two months now."

I told him, "Please call me to let me know if it woks for you, too."

After two days, Maurice called and told me that the vinegar water worked for him, too.

Sally, a granddaughter of one of my residents in Northbrook, IL. came and visited Betty one night. She brought her husband with her. After spending an hour with their grandmother in her bedroom, who just came home from the hospital, they came to the kitchen where I was and introduced themselves.

We talked for a few minutes, then she told me that her husband has been suffering from food indigestion for a few times already that month. I told them about the vinegar water to drink, and to try it when it happen again. I also told them that it helped me to get rid of food indigestion since 1996, and a few people stopped suffering from it a few seconds after drinking it. He said that he will try it. They went home, and after a few weeks her grandmother got well and didn't need my help anymore. Sally gave me a recommendation letter for other potential residents who might need my service.

Vinegar is also a remedy for itchy and dry skin. I discovered about this when I was itching a few years ago and used a lotion to get rid of the itching and dry skin. It is a lot better than lotion because two applications of it on the skin, the itch and dry skin will go after a few minutes. It is also very cheap compared to a bottle of lotion these days. All you have to do is apply a fair amount of vinegar on your skin and massage it for a few seconds until it dried up. Repeat the process once more until the vinegar dried up again.

Also, if you have hypertension, it pushes excess salt from your system. And, if you are diabetic, it gets rid of excess sugar that you don't need from your body. Just drink a glass of water with one tbsp. of vinegar for a few days 3x a day until the problem is gone. And in order for the disease to keep it at bay, drink it whenever you eat ice cream, cake, or anything too sweet, and whenever you drank a soda, or sweet juices which will raise up your blood sugar.

In 2008, I was visiting residents in their private homes again after the snow was completely melted. Every morning before I headed to work, I dropped by at McDonald's drive thru and bought a large coffee with four measures of sugar. I don't know but at that time, I was craving for a sweet coffee every morning.

One afternoon, after visiting all my residents, I fell asleep on the wheel without knowing it. Good thing I was at the intersection waiting for the green light. I was awakened by another driver who was behind me; he was blowing his horn. I saw the three cars that were in front of me already passed the other two intersections. I proceeded quietly.

The next day, it happened again, this time there were no driver behind me to wake me up. I didn't know how many minutes I slept, or out. So, before I went home that afternoon, I drove to a grocery nearby and bought a bottle of vinegar. I was drinking water with vinegar for three days, three times a day before I stopped yawning while I was on the road.

It also get rid of my fatigue in the year 2000. I was working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for a male resident in Glenview, IL. After working for him for less than two weeks, I was having trouble getting up from the bed every morning. I started working at eight in the morning but I could not get up at 5:30 AM to get ready. Most of the time, I got up thirty minutes before 8:00 AM. I drove like a mad man every morning to beat the traffic. Good thing, I never was stopped by the police officers.

I was tired of driving very carelessly every morning, so I started eating fruits with vinegar. After 3 days of eating fruits with vinegar, on the 4th morning, I was awake at 4:30 AM and I was no longer sleepy.

If your urine is yellow or dark yellow, or amber in color because the kidney is not really working properly, drink a glass of water twice a day until your urine clears up. I did this for myself a few times already for the past ten years.

I also discovered that it helps heal wounds, gets rid of reflux, weakness and other side effects of the prescribed medicines. All you have to do is add a tablespoon of vinegar to a glass of water or two tablespoons of vinegar in a glass of apple juice, or any sweet juices from the grocery. Do these twice or three times a day.
