The little ancient book "Folk Medicine" by D.J. Jarvis, M.D. is loaded with info on this old folk medicine - the nature secrets of honey and apple cider vinegar. I have a tattered paperback copy on my bookshelf that sold back when for 50 cents! It has been worth a million to me for many, many years.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in your drinking water 1T 2x/day and in bathing ( one cup) also reduces the load of aluminum toxicity plus a few other things!
If your mother cooked in aluminum pots; or you were in the Navy when they still cooked in alu pots by the hours; and/or you have used alu foil in your own kitchen; and/or you used deodorants containing alu before you learned that was not a good idea; and since it is a problem with Alzheimers and several other diseases, it might be worth your while.
Good luck.

My LLMD suggested the Jarvis book....I just haven't purchased it yet. He also said to take apple cider vinegar with honey....and I'm thinking....HONEY?! I'll have yeast BIGtime! He mentioned unprocessed, unheated honey....I think....but it's still SUGAR, right?

Lymetoo, re: honey and yeast - it seems really variable as to what people can tolerate and what sets off the candida.
Some can't have any carbs and others, like my son seem to do OK by avoiding sugar and limiting fruit.
He is able to tolerate small amounts of honey better than sugar - I think it is because sugar is a polysaccharide, honey is a monosaccharide. Sugar is therefore more difficult to digest and sits in the intestines longer...feeding the yeast.
GiGi - thanks for the book tip - it can be ordered from Amazon for only 5.99!

Apple vinegar baths also help reduce muscle aches. Or so I've been told.
And apple vinegar baths are also supposed to help with female specific yeast infections. I know it seems odd, since vinegar is sugar.
Folk medicine recommends apple vinegar douches to help with yeast infections. I wouldn't recommend that though, because douching can sometimes wash away the good with the bad and make things worse.

I believe that it is the acidic levels of the apple cider vinegar that kills the yeast.

Not to change the subject, but interestingly enough I have just started using apple cider vineger in another fashion... for something else... On a cottonball rubbed on your legs to help eliminate spider veins or shrink them... ! Now that I know it has other benefits I will have to buy it by the gallon!

I would suggest you use only organic apple cider vinegar - made from organically grown apples. Dr. Jarvis did not have to mention that in his book when he wrote it several decades ago - at that point the microbes/toxins had not invaded every facet of our being. Now they have - and that is our major problem and what caused us to be so sick to begin with.
Lymetoo, don't worry about a bit of honey. Honey contains good minerals and get the unfiltered, uncooked kind. I used the pollen and the propolis and of course I did lots of bee venom therapy. Most yeast problems are not Lyme caused, but caused by the extensive antibiotics many are taking and above all, by the metals and chemical toxins in our body. I had yeast overgrowth long before I got bit by a tick - the reason the body started to "grow" it in order to protect my body from the metals, chemicals, etc. As long as you have that as a major problem and are on umpteen drugs, your body will fight tooth and nails to protect itself by growing more yeast. If you get rid of the stuff eventually, the yeast will go back to normal levels that do not overload the body with more neurotoxins. Fungi also poops and pees - in other words, it also puts more neurotoxins into to you, and the more yeast you have, the worse it gets. So clean your house of metals and chemicalsm parasites, and whatever else that does not belong.
Sorry for the long litany - but there is always a cause-and-effect. This is my simple interpretation of fungi infections. They are a protective device the body uses - that doesn't quite work in every sense. Good luck.

I never read or heard of it but my mother always rinsed her hair with it and so i do too every week and it sits on my bath.. Ironcially tonight i put a cup in my bath water and i started doing this a few months ago on my own. It just felt right.and clean and better ... and I liked..
Plenty left over as I take baths most the time and rinse my head and hair with vinegar after washing it.
Who knows what it does exactly but I do have apple cider vinagar tablets too that I use along with enzymes for biofilm treatment.

I just took my first drink of organic apple cider today. I mixed 2 tablespoons in some water and added a little honey -- it was awful!
Help.
Any suggestions on how to drink this...maybe just 1 table spoon and more honey...or could I take the capsules instead of the liquid?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I just began using apple cider vinegar for digestive issues. As I understand it, it helps balance ph, slows the glucose conversion in carbs, is potassium rich and, when taken with honey may aid in weight loss. These are only a few of the possible benefits.
I have been mixing one tsp of vinegar and honey each into a cup of herbal tea and actually like it! I have also seen Bragg's recommended as the best brand of AC vinegar.

You should be sure to only use natural apple cider vinegar with "the mother". Braggs is one product that you can buy at your health food store or order online. Braggs publishes a book about ACV and how to use it for healing. It is also good for arthritis.
I have trouble keeping up with everything "I should be taking". I need to get back to ACV. It is very good to use with olive oil on salads, great on cooked spinach. I am not too fond of the honey cider drink.
