3 Ingredient Daily Drink Tonics for Your Best Health

tonic

Today’s blog is republished from my friends at TheAlternativeDaily, and I wanted to share it on our blog here because it combines a few different amazing “tonics” you should add to your regular routine.  You don’t need to do all of them daily, but should definitely figure out how to add them to your regular routine…

By Liivi Hess, TheAlternativeDaily.com

As a nation, we’re fascinated with the concept of miraculous healing. Presumably, this miracle can come in the form of a pill, tea or a fantastically labeled elixir of health. Every day, millions of dollars are spent as people search for cures in the form of mystical pharmaceutical remedies that can banish all ailments and protect from disease.

Sadly, no one ever finds it. It seems that fancy packaging and slick marketing aren’t directly proportional to healing abilities. At best, these mass-produced, semi-synthetic, meticulously labeled products have but a minor placebo effect. At worst, they can actually make our health decrease, unbalance hormones and offset vital bodily functions.

It may come as a surprise to learn the mystical health tonic you’ve been searching for is much closer to home. As with many things in the health world, taking a step back and observing how our predecessors did things can be invaluable. The solution lies in simple, minimally processed, raw ingredients — ones that are selected for their natural health benefits, not as a small cog in a great machine comprised of many altered, unnatural ingredients.

Here are two three-ingredient concoctions that may just provide that miracle of health and healing you’ve been searching for.



Apple cider vinegar, honey and cinnamon super syrup

While very simple to make and with no rare or hard-to-find ingredients, this health tonic is wide-ranging in the benefits it bestows upon those who drink it. It can relieve constipation, reduce inflammation, support kidney function, promote heart health, prevent or fight urinary tract infections, protect against bacterial, fungal or viral attack and keep the common cold at bay. As you can see, it is a heavy-hitter in the realm of health care, helping to boost your immune system and support strong heart and organ function.

The key to success with this health tonic is to source only the highest quality ingredients. Now is not the time to worry about your wallet at the supermarket or health-food store. It’s absolutely a worthwhile health investment to buy high-caliber ingredients.

With this in mind, here are the qualifications for each ingredient:

  • The apple cider vinegar must be raw and organic. Raw means it still contains the active cultures that support your gut biome and bolster your immune system. Organic means the apples from which it was made are not coated in pesticides, heavy metals and toxins, which would then pass into your system and offset all your hard work.
  • The honey must be raw, preferably organic. Organic just implies the bees have not pollinated flowers or plants which are treated with pesticides, herbicides or other nasty applications. This ensures you get only the highest quality honey from known sources. Raw means that the honey has not been pasteurized, a process to increase its shelf life but can render it biologically inactive by killing off the active enzymes in the honey — the reason it’s such a potent ingredient.
  • And of course, your cinnamon should also be organic. As with our other ingredients, buying non-organic cinnamon means you’re at greater risk of ingesting harmful toxins and heavy metals, which can negatively impact your health.

Combine two cups of the apple cider vinegar, one cup of honey and two teaspoons of cinnamon in a jar and stir/shake well. Store your super syrup in a cool dry area, keeping in mind that placing it in the fridge will cause the honey to harden and settle to the bottom. A couple of sips in the morning, and again at night are enough to ensure you enjoy all of the nurturing benefits of this tonic.

Warm water, lemon and apple cider vinegar health-aide

That’s right, we’re once again employing the health properties of our friend apple cider vinegar — it’s just that good! This time it’s a simple concoction you can make in seconds if you have the ingredients ready; all you need is some warm or room temperature filtered or mineral water, raw organic apple cider vinegar and half an organic lemon. Simple as that.

Drinking this each morning, as soon as you wake up and before you put anything else in your stomach, is an excellent way to start your day. It stimulates digestion, expels toxins from the liver and supports your digestive enzymes for a busy day ahead.

Once again, the ingredient requirements are strict: your water should preferably be spring water from glass bottles, but if this isn’t available then filtered water will do. This ensures the base for your tonic isn’t introducing new toxins into your body as you drink it — that would be a bit counterproductive. Next, as above, your apple cider vinegar should be raw, organic and unfiltered. When apple cider vinegar is filtered, the health-giving SCOBY or “mother” (an accumulation of beneficial bacteria and yeast that turns the apples into vinegar) is removed, and we definitely don’t want that.

Finally, the lemon should be organic, to ensure its skin isn’t riddled with nasty pesticides and other harmful chemicals.

Fill a glass with warm water, squeeze in half a lemon, and pour in a rough teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Sip it slowly and let it work its magic!

These health tonics work best if you keep at it — make sure you drink them as directed for at least a week to begin experiencing the myriad of health benefits they offer.

Do THIS 1 hour before bed to pee out stubborn fat in the morning

If you’re active, sweat a lot, or following a low-carb or Keto diet, or even intermittent fasting, then you’re most likely low on electrolytes, but it’s very important you do NOT turn to drinks like Gatorade or any of the other junk “hydration” drinks that are loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners & colors and poor quality salt.

Something I’ve been drinking for a while is LMNT and it’s incredible. There’s no sugar, no artificial ingredients, no coloring, and just flat out no JUNK and it’s just the right amount of electrolytes which are key to relieving headaches, fatigue, cramps (and can even help if you’ve had a bit too much alcohol!)…

LMNT is used by three Navy SEAL teams as prescribed by their master chief, 10+ NFL and NBA teams, and is the Official Hydration Partner of Team USA Weightlifting. My favorite flavor is Citrus Salt, which, as a side note, you can use to make a kick-ass, no-sugar margarita.

      • Lemon water

    • Trying to avoid carbs, i.e., honey.

  3. Enjoyed this email. Very Good!!

  4. Enjoyed this email, well written! Very good!

  5. 1/2 cup Luke warm water
    2 tbs acv
    2 tbs coconut oil
    1 tsp cod liver oil
    10 drops Lugol Iodine 2%
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp ginger
    1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/8 tsp black pepper
    2 tsp boiled turmeric
    1 tbs honey

    All blended in a “bullet” for one minute
    That’s my morning regiment.

  6. Just remembered

    1/2 lemon juice
    Added to my morning Elixir.

    • I always use all of the lemon minus the seeds. I cut mine in half and pluck the seeds out and blend the rind with the juice/pulp. There is much more nutrition in the rind than in the interior of the fruit.

    • I cannot find the measurements of ingredients – lemon, water, apple vinegar cider and cinnamon. Thanks…

      • I put 1 to 2 shot glasses of ACV into a glass. The cinnamon, I would say 1/4 tsp. The lemon, I would guess the juice of one Lemon which comes out to be 2 tablespoons liquid, but it is a matter of how much acidity you can handle and taste. I personally add Agave to cut the sour. I also add Aloe Vera juice to mine. The thing about this recipe is you can add what you want. Sometimes I add Pomegrante juice to help the flavor. The acidity will help those with kidney stones too. It breaks down those buggers.

    • What sweetner can I use instead of honey, I’m diabetic and honey really messes me up

      • Try pure stevia

      • I too am diabetic. My doctor informed me that dark maple syrup is flushed out of our systems much faster than sugar and honey. I found extra dark maple syrup at Sprouts, which I use. I also mix Lakanto Monkfruit (zero glycemic) sweetner (Sprouts) with cinnamon for cinnamon toast. A monkfruit package at Walmart had many additives.

    • I can’t have citric

  7. I tried to get the thyroid bulletin sent to me and it did not come.
    Is there another way to receive it?

    • Hi Pat, not quite sure what you’re referring to. Do you mind providing a link of the page where you requested the information so we can better assist you.

  8. I have been fighting breast cancer since 12-15-15. Before that day I did not consume a single pill (prescription drug & I’m 56 ) OMG what my poor body has been through over the past 6 months is mind boggling. I still have many surgeries & months of Chemo to go. I am so happy that I signed up for this newsletter. I will definitely be trying the “super syrup” & the “acv health-ade” starting tomorrow! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to be among the healthy again!

    • Hi. I just read your post. I hope you are doing well. Did you notice any benefits once you started this “super syrup”?

    • Are you doin ok? Still kick in?

    • Please read for Heat Shock Proteins for cancer treatment.

    • For cancer eat fresh vegetables and avoid meats till you get to feeling better. Some fruits allowed but high anti-oxidants are best like blueberries. Avoid all sugar and white flour products that includes noodles, spaghetti an macaroni. drink lots of water and take garlic pills every night to help immune system.

    • Check out Herbdoc.com and do his detox for bowel liver, & kidney.
      Check out Truth about Cancer- great info there. Should really be called Truth about Health
      Also Cris Wark- Cancer Coach is great
      Cut back sugar
      Hop this helps

    • You will never be among the healthy if you submit to chemo.
      Chemo kills.

      • Hi Barb, that certainly is not very encouraging or kind. Many people survive chemo and continue to heal and become healthy. Chemo is poisonous and kills good and bad cells but they can be built up again. I hope you are never faced with this diagnosis, I would hope you would remember that cancer kills. Some people need the medical treatment. It is false and unkind to say “she will never be among the healthy” if she submits to Chemo. Really.

        • Just want to say as an RN, that in my experience working with the sick and aged in general, chemotherapy is a double-edged sword. I have seen it kill, then cure, then cancer returns later ( may be months to years), and the cycle repeats. Wouldn’t you rather get healthy and stay that way without killing yourself off suffering the side effects and adverse reactions of chemo, all of which have the potential to lead to more drugs and medications (and more side effects)? I am a firm believer in the idea that health and wellness ( and the lack thereof) are 99.9% what we are eating and putting into our body in the first place. And we are sick long before we go to any physician to get a diagnosis! Autoimmune illnesses don’t hit us out of the blue. They start long before we are even aware of being ill. Please read The Autoimmune Fix. Find it at any bookstore or online. It is written by a physician and it will open your eyes to the possibilities and alternatives available. But you are going to have to find your own answers to what ails you. I continue to do my own research. I have started by eating gluten free. What became immediately obvious to me was how much my waistline went down–OMG! And, the very minute I eat something made with wheat, barley or rye flour, I literally blow up again. I suffer from gout, hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone), high blood pressure and am morbidly obese at over 200 lbs. I craved carbs nearly all the time before I started eating GF. It is difficult to find good quality food where I live, so I grow garden vegetables and spend my grocery dollars on gluten free baking goods. I buy gluten free items when I don’t have time to bake. I have invested time and money in some very good recipe books and magazines that have helped me learn how to make my own GF baked goods. I am not a celiac, but I am very sensitive to gluten. Growing my own vegetables helps me ensure my food is organically grown and as high in nutritional content as I can possibly get. I am planning on investing in a greenhouse so I can enjoy my homegrown food year round. I grow all my vegetables in pots to cut down on watering and weeding time, and it saves on my back. I have raspberry and strawberry plants and pick chokecherries and June berries when I can to make my own syrups and I am careful about which sweeteners I use to watch my carb intake and limit calories. I am not diabetic, but my family history says I am high risk for it. My mother suffers from CREST Syndrome, and gets chronic and continual flare-ups which require the use of antibiotics and other medications. She refuses to eat GF. My husband does not want to eat GF with me, and I work up to 60 hours weekly, so it is very hard to eat GF all the time. Restaurants do not cater to people who have autoimmune issues. It is a daily battle I find difficult to maintain, but if I could, I am sure I would lose weight faster and feel better. Good luck! Karen

        • Thank you, for all your
          advice and recipes and rem-ides
          Anne

        • My Dad had stage 4 lung cancer and when he got diagnosed, I told him about the ESSIAC TEA. He ordered it and took it faithfully every day despite how bad it tasted. It did reduce the tumors. His doctor was surprised that my Dad’s cancer went into remission, especially because of his age and that it was a non-surgical cancer. One other thing he did each day was to eat ground almonds and unsweetened applesauce. Almonds are a good nutrient for the lungs. Just like how walnuts are good for the brain. He never got sick from the chemo treatments because we made sure he ate a good lunch during the treatment. Most people will have a popsicle or pudding, but that alone doesn’t settle the stomach enough.

      • Barb you are right as the simple truth is you don’t need it and yep it damages everything else in your body because it literally is poison. People who take it just don’t know that. So if you do survive the chemo it most often comes back again within a five year period.
        My suggestion for cancer sufferers is food grade baking soda. Gives quick results but you need PH strips so you can monitor your body’s PH. The optimum PH level is 7.233 to 7.5. The western diet has become an acid diet therefore a diet change is an important part of the healing process….wholesome home made vege soups with lots of green colored leaves and a big reduction in red meat until the balance has been restored and the cancer is gone. Do your own research on the body’s PH (Alkaline v Acidic) Alkaline foods v Acidic. The baking soda just allows to bring the body PH back to 7.233 very quickly then you maintain it until the cancer has finally gone. It restored a young man who had Stage 4 bowel cancer. One final bit of info – any pain that sufferer may be experiencing will be the first indicator it is working. Relief within 2weeks and health restored so you can function in 2nd month and just continues to get better. Do your own research because you really need to understand it …oh and don’t tell the doc what you are using only tell him you have made a radical diet change. Stress is also a major factor for cancer.

        • Billy
          I am a cancer survivor of 2 different kinds of Cancer and went through Chemo and radiation. I have been cancer free now for 8 years and the only side affects of the chemo is nerve damage to my feet. The main thing about having to go through any of this is the persons attitude. You go into it with a bad attitude, you are not going to get good results. But if your attitude is positive you will most likely have a good result. I would not be here today if I hadn’t gone through it.

    • Apricot seed extract kills cancer cells.

      • G. Edward Griffin’s book, World Without Cancer, describes the science behind Amygdalin (the main ingredient in Apricot seed extract). The pure extract is sometime referred to as “Vitamin B17. I’ve taken 250 mg of B17 daily for over 10 yrs. So far so good. Hard to find the extract, but Apricot kernels are easily purchased and consuming a few of these daily is good source of Amygdalin (IMHO).

    • K. Barrett
      Try Paw-Paw for cancer. You can get it on amazon.

    • Hello my Dear, I would like to suggest you look into IV Vitamin C drips, there was a new study w/promising results in some cancers. Because of this pandemic, I haven’t been able to get it done yet, but as soon as this crazy “RONA” is gone, thats going to be the 1st thing I do! N 2017 my Father flapped his wings & flew away from Colon cancer, the IV Vitamin C is showing promise fighting it….& other cancers…….if you dont already know, & you read/research scurvy, I am positive it will surprise you that back in the 17 / 1800’ds the disease was because of a lack of vitamin C in the human body!!!! Just Crazy! Have a beautiful life!

    • Have read several books, they all state that sugar feeds cancer cells. Sounds like it would be a good idea not to eat sugar.

    • Look up Kangen out of California. 9.5 alkaline water. I beat cancer —-got off sugar! Sugar Breeds CANCER

    • add “apple pectin” to your cancer regimen. Dr. Ardis from “drardisshow.com” states that it cures cancer. Some have said that EDTA cures cancers. You can take it from a provider intervenously or in capsule form. You can get it on Amazon. You must take it three times a day and some trace minerals in between. Or take the capsules all at once and the minerals later on in the day. If you go on “beforeitsnews.com” you will find an excellent mineral product. It is a bit pricy but is worth the money.

    • Hi K,
      My name is Jillian and I had BC in 2011 and had it removed in the December and then in 2012 had chemotherapy and after that had radiation. In November my oncologist gave me the all clear as all looked good. But mainly at night I could feel something different under my lower rib-cage so told the oncologist who ordered a scan and what they found was that the breast cancer lesions had metastaticised into my liver.
      So the oncologist recommended more chemotherapy which I only had 3 lots of because it was killing me, I thought as very hard on my whole body. Anyway in the meantime since January I had been making up and taking a tablespoon of Bicarbonate of soda and with maple syrup, so when I was tested again it was noted and found that the lesions were shrinking even though I was not having the chemo for the last 3 months. I was told that whatever I was doing to keep doing it as it looked like it was the reason the BC lesions were shrinking. So I am telling you this in case you would like to try it too as it cannot hurt and also has the benefit of alkalineing your body, its not expensive to buy the bicarb and maple syrup and I can give you the recipe I used. By the way its 9 years since I had any BC and all PET scans have shown NO CANCER so let me know if you would like to try it and I will send you the recipe which is what I call it because that works ok for me to help people. Oh I am not saying that it will help everyone but it cannot hurt and it may help so its well worth a try. There is a Dr who works out of a Swiss hospital who uses bicarbonate as well. Most Doctors do not like it as there is no money to be made from it. Anyway its up to you, let me know what you want to do?

      • Julian Congratulation that you are doing what you consider better for you. I have my sister- in law in Cuba and she didn’t have any medicine at the Hospital or pharmacy. She had cancer under her arm I think that is lymphatic cancer. Please can you give me the recipe? I saw on YouTube some information that doctors are doing with bicarbonate in other countries.

  9. How much acv,honey & cinnamon for the tonic?

    • Hi Shirley, combine two cups of the apple cider vinegar, one cup of honey and two teaspoons of cinnamon in a jar and stir/shake well.

      • I would love to do this tonic but the measurements is out of this world..2 CUPS of ACV and 1 cup of honey is extremely potent..Just a cap full of ACV have my stomach on fire..

        • I use:
          1/2 – 1 cup water
          1/2 lemon
          1tbsp honey
          1-2 tbsp ACV
          1/4 – 1/2 tsp powders

          It doesnt really have to be specific. Some like Less water because it is quicker/ less to drink. Some like 1 cup of water to dilute, it’s a personal choice. Some like more lemon. You can start with 1 tbsp of ACV amd build up to 2 it is an acquired taste., or do 1 drink in AM and 1 in PM. unless ACV gives you energy. Some can feel wired from it. I would not drink more than 2 a day. As for the powders you can add I just sprinkle some in. Cinnamon and cayenne pepper are what I use, but you can add ginger and turmeric. I prefer to add those to my protein shakes as it disguises the taste of them more. It’s all a personal preference really, I don’t think it will Ever really taste Delicious but try it different ways and see what is easiest for you. I for example like it with COLD water. Sure it may absorb better warm but it still works either way.

        • You are taking sips at a time, not the entire amount!

        • Try just taking a shot glass full of ACV with a glass of icewater and add Agave to it. If you want to disguise the ACV taste, add Pomegrante Juice.

        • If ACV puts your stomach on fire, then you have too much acidity in your system already. You would have to coat your stomach with something that would make it tolerable. At the healthfood stores that sell books, there is a book about Alkaline/Acid, which might be of interest to you.

      • Could I use maple syrup instead of honey? Would this bring down blood sugars?

    • Did you read the article? It tells you in there.

    • Would like to know the measurement for honey, cinnamon, lemon, and what ever else please

      • 1/2 – 1 cup water
        Half a lemon
        1 tbsp honey
        1-2 tbsp ACV
        1/4 – 1/2 tsp each of cayenne, cinnamon etc, what tastes best for you

        • I cant consume acv its an aversion to vinegar of any sort…is there any substitute i can use? Kombucha?

  10. GOOD YOUR ADVISE,I WIL DO.NEED MORE ABOUT BP?????

  11. Simple recipes, light to pocket and no more kitchen rituals!

  12. How many sips is it required in the morning and at night?

  13. can i have the daily amounts for the mixture of CV,HONEY CINNAMON,WATER? H ow many times a day to drink it? Thank You!

    • Hi Gail, to fully enjoy the benefits we recommend to take 2x a day (2-3 sips in the morning and same in the evening, that come out to 2-3 oz. a day). From experience we recommend to make them ahead to ensure to drink them regularly. The recipe provided is good for 7-10 days.

      • Do you get sick of repeating what’s written in the article.
        Bless you for the patience!!!!

        • Sho, it seems you are the one who needs patience, correct? I really find some pdf the posts to be riddled with impatience, unkind and self centered. I hope you can find it in your heart to HELP others in some way, rather than criticize them for asking questions. I pray you were not a school teacher!

  25. Thanx a lot

    • Stuart, There is a wonderful book by David Hackett Fischer called ]Albion's Seed' that in many ways supports your thesis for a genetic basis to the right-ward slant of US politics. He argues that four immigrant paths from the British Isles to the US have had a fundamental influence on American politics, with the numerous independent borderlands folk of Ireland, Scotland and the north of England having had a particular influence. Worth a read.

  26. Very helpful advice.

    • To much meds for starters. the lemon drink will surely help to lose weight

    • Wow man!!!!Those meds will kill you totally! Flush down the toilet Mr!!!! Pills are POISON!!!!!

      • Do not flush down toilet take to pharmacy and ask them to destroy for you.

      • NEVER THROW meds down the toilet as it will affect the creatures in the ocean.Always, take unused meds and OTC med to your pharmacy so they can be disposed off properly!!

    • OMG, why are you taking so much Nexium and how long have you been taking it, in addition to all those other drugs. Even the instructions that come with the Nexium prescription, as well as the FDA, indicate that Nexium shouldn’t be taken longer than 6 weeks. Long term use of Nexium can lead to kidney failure, accelerated stroke risk, dementia, colitis, bone fractures, and arterial damage. You can’t even stop it cold turkey, you must gradually decrease the dosage.

      • Hi, have bad indigestion and food seems to get stuck in my throat, especially rice. I have started taking Nexium but don’t really want to, do you know of anything else to do instead?
        Thanks, Sandra.

        • Hi, I also take Nexium and if it messes up with stuff then so be it. I have GERD and Acid Reflux so bad that if I didn’t take something I would be screaming. I went on a trip and forgot my meds box. My friend and I ate at a nominally non spicy restaurant and then went straight back to the room. Within an hour I was screaming and she went everywhere to find something for me. If she had not found something we would have went to the hospital. I cannot even explain the pain. It felt like someone took a branding iron to my chest, esophagus, and all the way to the top of my throat.

        • I too had been taking Nexium or some form of the same pill for 23 years when I discovered doTerra Greens — take everyday and no problems and no more pills. Check our the natural essential oils of doTerra — completely pure and amazing.

        • I’m 62 years old, I’m overweight, and I’m on warfarin for life due to DVT. I got acid reflux and it made me sick ?. I really need to lose 70 lbs badly. I don’t exercise, used to love working in the yard, outdoor activities and now it got me down. I need something to give me energy to lose weight. I was told to drink straight acv, boy, it really burn my throat, until I read your comments and I didn’t know you were suppose to mix with honey, cinnamon and lemon to make syrup. Does that make your throat burn? Lose weight and energy working? How much should I use to make syrup? Thanks

        • FOR ALL THE INDIGESTION AND FOOD PROBLEMS HAVE YOU TRIED 1 TS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH THE MOTHER AND 1TB SPOON OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL MIX THE VINEGAR IN 6OZ WATER DRINK THEN TAKE OIL STRAIGHT FROM SPOON I PUT SPOON ALMOST TO THROAT TO AVOID TASTEW ARM THE OLIVE OIL I WAS EXTREMELY BAD PAIN EVEN DIZZY 1 TIME IUSED LOTS OF THINGS FROM DOCTOR AND ONE DAY SITTING AND PRAYING THE SPIRIT TOLD ME TO TAKE THIS WHEN APPT. CAME FOR GASTRO DOCTOR I CANCELLED NO PROBLEMS WHEN PEOPLE RESORT TO MEDS. THATS WHAT MESS ONE UP IT MAKES CONDITION WORST THE DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAD GERD LOL

        • Red delicious apples are a very strong natural antacid. If it gets real bad just mix some baking soda with water. nexium kills.

      • Oh my goodness. I have been taking Nexium for a long time.. Is this an alternative to the nexium? The syrup of ACV and Honey and Cinnamon?

    • No natural recipe in the world will help until you wean yourself off all of those toxic pharmaceutical drugs.

  38. Compliments of the new year, please keep us healthy, I’m experiencing a skin problem like having two colour, something like ring worms I really need help. Drank lots and lots of things being told it’s inside and used lots and of creams I’m trying bicarbonate of soda as advised in on of the articles.

    One other thing I need to loose weight its so frustrating

    • I needed to lose weight too.. an began walking at least 30 minutes a day. Find a Wal Mart or grocery store to do your walking as its well lighted. If you fall there someone is sure to help you.On the streets you might trip over a sidewalk ridge. Drink lots of good water. Avoid sugar and even avoid all white flour products like noodles, spaghetti and macaroni. I have lost many inches in doing this and I feel so good. Amazing how easy the walking can help you lose weight.
      You might even try not eating anything one day but drink lots of water. It helps flush the toxins as you lose weight. Happy with my weight loss and feel much better now.

    • Norma I had the same problem with my skin I finally figured it out! Tried all kinds of things to get rid of it shampoos to creams. It was caused by stress!! I was going through a divorce a lot of stress. When that was done and over so was the skin blotches.

  39. Nice remedies

    • millie e. figueroa

      every time i take a n over the counter tylenol my arms get red blotches. doctor said its called ” bruising.

  40. Ill try it because i have serious belching gas problems

  41. I would like to make a cup of this. About 8 ounce. Okay, 8 ounce of water and a half of squeezed lemon. So, how much of apple cider vinegar and cinnamon do I need for 1 cup? 1 teaspoon of these or a tablespoon? And to get maximum benefits, should I drink this once a day or twice a day?

  42. Can anyone tell me what the mandatory waiting time before we can eat our breakfast? 30 mins 60 mins?

    I have been doing this for about 4 weeks now and I usually wait about an hour, however I always have to make my breakfast ahead of time and bring it to work with me, which I’d prefer not to do so if the waiting period after we drink it is less than 60 mins that would be great!

    Thanks so much.

    • I believe you take 2-3 sips, and then fix your healthy breakfast. By the time your breakfast is ready, you have probably passed 10-15 minutes. That should be sufficient. I sip my tonic while I do my devotions, then I fix breakfast and eat. Then I pack a lunch for work and leave the house. If more time needs to pass, I would make lunch and then breakfast.

  43. Should a person take both elixers daily ie: Avc, honey and cinnamon. as well as water, lemon and avc?? Just wondering

  49. Sister Catherine D.M Yaskiw

    hello all good suggestions. the best honey is Wendall Estate prairie honey. helpful hint too is freeze the whole lemon and use the whole thing for getting all the goodness and nutrients. asv organic and best is becks that i have found so far.

    • Sorry Sister, but the best honey is organic LOCAL honey. It has been shown to acclimate the body to local allergies. Wendall Estate Prairie Honey may BE local to you, but it is not the best for people who live in different areas.

  50. I use 1 tbspBraggs ACV, 1 tsp organic honey, pinch of ceyenne pepper, and about 1/4 tp cinnamon, every night with 8 oz water. I have lost 23 lbs,belly fat, no more phlegm, better immune system in about a years time. I have added a chopped thin luce of raw ginger and some tumeric and a squeeze of lemon juice to warm water, plus the acv mixture when I feel a cold or sinus headache coming on. It really helps. I have not be r n to the dr for hronchitus in 2 years since I have bern doing this. Beore I wasthere 4 times a year or more.

  51. Thank you for the excellent advice.

  52. Mushroom, mango, leeks, garlic, collards salad. All fresh ingredients, works for me.

  53. Good Day, Thank you for all your comments. Another excellent product to take is Organic Raw Coconut oil. Absolutely excellent for your health

  54. Eat to live, Don’t live for eat

  55. I have always been constipated, bloated such that I’ve become dependent on laxative tablets which I take every day before I go to bed. Over the years I’ve had to increase dosage of the laxative from one tablet to three since a single tablet didn’t work for me anymore. I started taking apple cider vinegar, lemon, cinnamon and maple syrup mixed in water. This was just a week ago. I can feel the changes, no more constipation (regular now every morning every day!), my tummy which used to be bloated is shrinking a bit, I noticed my appetite is more controlled, and even when I indulge, I can’t! I feel full quickly with just a small amount of food. I take this tonic three times a day, because I really enjoy the taste (kinda like apple pie!)

    • how much you have to drink 6oz or 4oz aday

  63. good site and tips for overall health

  64. Please sign me up for your newsletter. Your content is very informative! Thank you.

  65. put me on your email list, I have enjoyed reading these articles.

  66. I drink a tonic each day first thing in the morning which is mixed with boiling water.
    The mixture is grated ginger, manukas honey, acv and lemon juice. Am getting the health benefits if mixed with boiling water? (I prefer it as ahoit drink)

    • I have been making the following drink that I drink every morning. I boil peeled and diced fresh ginger for 5 to 10 minutes, let it sit for approx 5 minutes. Refrigerate in glass container and save the ginger water to make enough to last a week.

      1/4 cup peeled and grated fresh ginger
      1/2 gallon fresh water (for the week) –
      drink 1/2 to 1 cup ginger water daily
      1/2 squeezed lemon (or 1 tbl fresh organic lemon juice)
      1 tsp pure honey
      1 tsp grated organic cinnamon
      1/2 tsp organic nutmeg
      1/4 cup pure apple juice

      Mix all above ingredients well in the ginger water and drink slowly in morning.

      Question: Is it okay to heat up the lemon juice and honey to mix it well, then add a little water?
      Note: I add the apple juice to dilute the lemon well.

  67. Can you substitute serve for honey, I’m diabetic and on keto diet

  68. what is acv

    • The Watchdog Team

      Hi Cindy! ACV is apple cider vinegar.

      • Yes please add me to your email list I really enjoy these articles I used to use ACV everyday and I really need to get back into it. I used to make my own cough syrup with it and some of these recipes remind me of the home made syrup that I made. I really need to get back into it. I suffer with Fibromyalgia and Arthritis and Diabetes and I take a lot of meds that I’m trying to get off of I am in excruciating pain most of the time the meds that I take really just takes the edge off a little makes it a little more bearable. I really would love to be pain free.

  69. I sprinkle a little powdered garlic on my food almost every day and haven’t had a cold or the flu since except one time I got a cold, I went without garlic for about 4 or 5 days, garlic will be depleted out of your body in 3 to 4 days, so you need a little almost every other day to be protected, it kills the cold, and flu viruses, and will kill the corona virus too, a container of powdered garlic should last a family about a year that’s how little you use, had colds and the flu for about 40 years, until I read about garlic, I wished my mom knew about garlic, then I wouldn’t.of had to suffer for so long. If you have coronavirus, have some hot chicken noodle soup, it drys up your sinuses, for breathing

  70. Eat 2 or more salids a week and you will not have any acid reflux like me, Found in a book on Edgar Cayce the sleeping prophet

  71. I made my own ACV (also made some pear cider vinegar) I have quite a few bottles of it. They have the mother in them but some mothers have turned into a rubbery-looking mass in the bottom of the bottles. Do you know if this is still OK to use or if the mass can be eaten for good health?

    Also, I’ve seen that Ceylon cinnamon should be used because regular use (daily) of other cinnamon (like store bought) can cause liver damage.

    I had some bad numbers on blood tests recently glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, & sometimes high blood pressure. Doctor wanted to put me on meds (I was about 18 lbs overweight – I’m only 4’11”) I stopped eating white foods (I love bread – changed to Ezekiel 4:19 – in refrigerated section at grocery stores) and stopped using sugars. I got blood tests 6 weeks after and was showing improvement, I’ve lost 15 lbs. Belly fat is almost gone. I walk about 1/4 mile to/back from mailbox and have been pulling weeds & gleaning flower beds. I used to use my ACV and am going to use one or both of the mixes. Thanks for info.

  81. I have being using these remedies for years and they do help to minimise the toxins and aids acid reflux

    Thank you

  82. When you recommend Cinnamon you should specify which one. There is Ceylon which is the true one and then there is the Cassia one which you find in the local stores. By the way, the Cassia one can damage your liver if you take too much. The safer one is the Ceylon which has less of the harmful ingredient.

  83. I wish I could have this but apples set my IBS off every time what can be done instead of acv?

  84. this article advises drinking vinegar and lemon juice on an empty stomach 1st thing in the morning , not a good idea for many people

  86. Fascinating site. So much to absorb. I am a writer and there are some real character studies revealed in the posts here. Not derogatory. Just a fun place to be and learn.
