so last night while aaron and i lazily watched game 7 of the ALCS (go rays!) i perused the earth clinic's page on apple cider vinegar cures. i definitely recommend it, purely for entertainment value ... one guy swears that ingesting a small amount of apple cider vinegar daily helped "reduce the incidence of foul-smelling stools"! another woman claimed that after only 3 days of ACV, her hair had grown one full inch. apple cider vinegar allegedly cures baldness, allergies, sinus infections, gout, acne, cold & flus, acid reflux, arthritis, indigestion, joint pain, and athlete's foot. it will help you lose weight, improve your libido, and regulate your blood sugar. it practically erases burns overnight. bathing in it will reduce the appearance of cellulite and disintegrate unsightly moles. people give it to their pets and livestock to improve their health and prevent fleas. no less than 55 people report multiple miracle cures. !!! one guy swears it has reversed the aging process, supremely pissing off his wife with all the attention his newer, younger-looking self is getting.
as you can see, it gets a little ridiculous. and these people all somehow fail to mention the foul-smelling and caustic properties of apple cider vinegar. but since i already OWN some apple cider vinegar which i am probably never going to use (see foul-smelling/caustic above), i have decided to do my own experiment. i will take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar 2x per day for 2 weeks starting today. i tried a capful in ice water as mary recommended, but it doesn't seem to dilute the intense taste/smell at all, so have returned to the festive cactus shot glass. it's a nice way to start the morning.
i don't have a lot of serious ailments to document improvement on, but on november 3rd, i will report back my amazing results. aaron says: for an attorney, you sure do buy into a lot of ridiculous things you read on the internet. we'll see what he complains about when i wake up in two weeks looking like a barbie doll with superhuman healing powers and rose-scented poops.

Careful about the dosage. I knew a guy who, hearing about the healthy properties of flaxseed oil, took a spoonful a day in the morning.
He had to stop when he noticed that his skin was oilier. It was actually seeping through.
When at 10 p.m. Aaron can still smell the apple cider vinegar you ingested that morning, it'll be time to stop!
oh...i am awaiting the rest results...ready to jump on the bandwagon for sure, if your prediction of looking like a barbie doll with superhuman healing powers and rose-scented poops is indeed what happens.
Kelley you are hilarious. I can send you the science fair requirements and you can show up all of my students. I am so happy to hear that you LOVE the cactus shot glass... sorry I did not get you a whole set... but maybe what is coming the mail will work too...
