“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a familiar saying known to millions. This carries truth and good common sense, because the apple is one of God’s great health-giving foods. Apples are a rich source of potassium, which is to the soft tissues of the body what calcium is to tine hones and harder tissues of the body what calcium is to the bones and harder tissues. Potassium is the mineral of youthfulness; it is the “artery softener.” Keeping the arteries of the body flexible and resilient. It is a fighter of dangerous bacteria and viruses. Yes, when you say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” you are talking good down-to-earth vital nutrition. The apple has stood the teat of time. It is one of the oldest fruits that man consumes. It was in the Garden of Eden that the apple played such a vital part in man’s destiny. Man has been an apple eater for thousands of years. Apple eaters have a certain healthfulness that non-apple eaters never achieve.

Apples – Rich In Potassium, Minerals and Enzymes

While the apple is a delicious fruit and most people enjoy eating apples, we look on the apple as more than something good to eat. Potassium is the key mineral in the constellation of minerals, and is so important to the life of every living thing, for without it there would be no life! Most humans are deficient in potassium and it reflects in their eel I tissues and their entire body. Look about you, how many people do you see that have tile super glow of health?

Millions living in today’s civilization and eating the commercialized, processed foods available have a potassium deficiency look. The skin and muscle bone is bad. The flesh does not cling firm on the body’s boney framework. Lines and wrinkles fill the face and neck and flabby skin hangs over the eyes. The longer the potassium deficiency continues, this prolapsing eyelid progresses. Soon people are looking out of little slits, instead of wide-open eyes. Thousands have turned to eye-lift, surgery to correct hooded eyelids. Of course, the average person blames this on the fact that they have been adding more birthdays to their life. Most people attribute physical changes in the skin and muscle tone to their age. You must have potassium to build and maintain youth ageless tissues. If you do not get your required amount potassium daily, you acquire an old age look. This is premature ageing due to potassium deficiency.

It is the same in your flower and vegetable garden. Potassium is necessary to the production of the substances which give rigidity to plant stems and increase their resistance to the many diseases which attack plants. Potassium is also the powerful element which changes seeds into plants and flowers by progressive development. If plants become deficient in potassium, they stop their evolution at some intermediate stage. The first sign of extreme potassium deficiency is cessation of growth for no discernible external reason, If the potassium deficiency is not corrected, the plant slowly starts to wither, turns yellow and dies. The same with an animal and a human body; when there is a potassium deficiency, there is a slow degeneration of body cells.
Every 90 days a new bloodstream, the river of life, is built in the body by the food you eat, the liquid you drink and the I air you breathe. From the bloodstream the body cells are made nourished and maintained. Every II months we have a new set of billions of miraculous body cells, and every 7 years we have an entirely new set of hones and hard tissues.

There is nothing to get old – no ageing in the constantly I renewing cells and body http://www.universal-tao.com . your previous home for life. In his famous experiment of 1912 in New York City, Dr. Alexis Carrel kept the cells of an embryo chicken heart for over 30 years by daily monitoring the complete nutrition, cleansing and elimination. The normal life-span of a chicken is 7 1/2 to 8 years. Apple cider vinegar was given to the chicken embryo daily for its full quota of potassium. Dr. Carrel definitely proved to the entire world that the body has a seed of eternal life, for he coil id have continued this experiment indefinitely to give the embryo eternity, but felt 30 years proved the point…. that man kills himself by his wrong habits of eating and Living. That experiment showed to us the importance of apple cider vinegar to life, health and longevity.

Most senile people suffer from a clogged arterial system. Potassium is to the soft tissues of the body what calcium is to the hard structures of the body. The potassium goes into the clogged, caked arteries and cleans out the rust and dirt http://www.universal-tao.com.just like vinegar water removes grime windows. One can’t, think clearly if the arteries are heavily clogged with cholesterol and toxic poisons. Potassium might he called the great detergent of the arteries. There is little doubt that potassium slows up the hardening and clogging processes that menace the whole important cardiovascular system. Natural, ripened apple cider vinegar contains the miraculous potassium that makes the flesh of farm animals healthier and more tender. There is very little doubt that one of the functions (If potassium is to keep the tissues healthy, soft and pliable, whether it he animal or man.

Paul Bragg talks about uses of Apple Cider Vinegar on his family’s farm:

Long years of research have proven to me that natural apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a potent source of potassium. I was raised on a large farm. On this farm we grew many varieties of apples. I was a great apple eater. In my early youth I enjoyed robust health. Each year my father made Natural ACV and stored it in wooden barrels. On our table we used this natural ACV and our large family loved it. My father was a splendid farmer and many times I would watch him add ACV to the feed and water of ailing animals (cattle, horses, sheep, dogs, cats, etc.) and it acted like magic. The ACV seemed to possess some miracle ingredient that could help restore health to the animals.

*Apple Cider Vinegar dosage for sick animals: Acute cases double this dosage.1/2 teaspoon small animals, 1 teaspoon large animals, twice daily in feed or water Optional: mix ACV with 1/4 cup water, place into mouth with squeeze bottle baster.

The nearest doctor was 32 miles from our home. If a doctor was needed, he had to come by horse and buggy over miles of rough, dirt roads. So at our home we developed simple self-health remedies and ACV played an important health role.

I well remember when my father put in long hours the farm work during the harvest period. He was up long before day break and would not retire until late at night. I would watch him come into our kitchen, put a heaping teaspoon of honey in a glass, then add 2 teaspoon of pure ACV, then fill the glass with water and sip it slowly! I would say Father, why do you drink vinegar, honey and water? And father would reply, Son, farm work is limp hard work, it can produce chronic fatigue in the body. Whatever is in this mixture relieves me of that chronic fatigue. Yes, father was correct. There was an ingredient in that drink that renewed his vitality and relieved him of chronic fatigue and stiffness, that ingredient is potassium, along with its powerful enzymes that are found in ACV. Most people today when they work hard, turn to all kinds of dangerous stimulants to relieve their chronic fatigue: alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, cola-soft drinks, pep pill a and even dangerous, addictive drugs.

My father’s good advice fell on youthful ears. It was some years later that I realized that my father was a smart man in using raw honey and ACV to combat chronic fatigue. At 12, I was sent from my rugged farm life to an expensive military academy … a gift for saving a man from drowning. The food at that institution was where my health was broken. The refined, overcooked and processed food broke my health and made me a victim of that consuming disease, tuberculosis. At no time did I see our wonderful apple cider vinegar or honey at the table of our military academy. It was not until I met the great Dr. Rollier at his sanitarium in Switzerland, where I regained my health, that I again come in contact with the many miracles of apple cider vinegar and honey, both of which are so rich in essential potassium. I owe much of my recovery to ACV and honey as it is a hard fighter against genna and toxins. At the sanitarium I wag given each morning the same drink my father took for energy and health. Dr. Rollier urged us to put ACV on our raw vegetable salada and steamed greens. He also urged us to use an abundance each day of fresh raw vegetables and fresh fruits as they are nature’s purifiers. He was a wise doctor and knew how valuable potassium and raw fruits and vegetables were to maintaining health of the body chemistry.

I was 100% cured from TB in less than two years after benefiting from a perfectly balanced natural diet, correct, deep breathing and alpine sunshine. Healthy living was my cure. I have also been an ardent user of ACV and honey ever since and in our Bragg health and writings advocate the use of this miracle source of potassium. It was in Switzerland that I started to fulfil my earlier pledge to God. If I recovered my health, I would become a health crusader and devote roy life to sharing the message on health and wellness with the world! When tinished my schooling, I went on to full-time crusading for a healthier world! I founded the health movement and originated and named the first health food store. Then, through my health crusades, I inspired hundreds of Bragg students to open the first health food atores in their areas across America and first health food stores in their areas across America and around the world. Everyday was a joy for me sharing health.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Overweight

We want it understood that ACV will not reduce a person who does not control their intake of food. But, when combined with a diet of 1,000 to 1,200 calories daily, it will assist in reducing excess weight. The Diet Research Center in England reported: better reducing and firming with ACV daily massagess – mixture of 3 parts ACV to I part almond or olive oil-helps the dody rid excess fat. The ACV and honey cocktail should be taken 3 times daily. It consists of 1/2 tsp honey plus I tsp ACV in a glass of distilled water at room temperature. Along with this ACV health cocktail there must be exercise and a reducing diet. (Read the Bragg Reducing Book and the Miracle of Fasting for more reducing information.) That means that all refined, processed, sugared products and beverages, and all dairy products are eliminated from the diet. The diet should consist of a wide variety of fresh fruits; raw salads, raw, steamed, baked or wokked vegetables; brown rice; tofu; beans; and whole grain pastas.

Combating Underweight

Apple cider vinegar is proving to be one of the greatest aids to health known to science, and it’s an entirely natural substance, produced by powerful natural enzymes. The underweight person is usually deficient in these powerful enzymes and therefore cannot use or burn up the food that is put into the body. No matter how much fatty Food, protein or any other kind of food ingested, most often it is not utilized by the body, if important enzymes are missing. Enzymes deficiencies always cause problems! The underweight person should use the following ACV cocktail upon arising; I tsp ACV and I tsp honey in a glass of distilled water .Add to this 2 drops of liquid iodine made from seaweed, available in health atores. This adds natural iodine, which is so important to body health, and helps normalize body weight up or down as needed. Then with each meal take a multi-digestive enzyme, and always be faithful to the Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Remember, healthy food is needed body fuel.

Ridding the Body of Dangerous Toxic Wastes by Cell Purifying

Toxic poisons are the cause of most troubles in the human body. Most people do not have the vital force to supply the eliminative organs with the strength to move normal waste from the body. Without this vital energy the wastes are not flushed from the body. There they remain and lodge in the joints and organs of the body. We have a name for each symptom that gives us pain and trouble. Certain toxic wastes that are harmful tn the whole hody are rendered harmless by a substance in apple cider vinegar. Scientists call this protective action Acetolysis. Waste products broken down by this process are made harmless. When you feel badly and do not seem to have the Go Power to do the things in life thatare necessary – it is time to flush out the toxic wastes that your organs of elimination cannot seem to push out.

Do not use hot water, as it kills the enzymes. Three mouthfuls of the mixture is gargled each hour, and then spit out. Do not swallow the gargled mixture, because ACV acts like a sponge, drawing out throat germs and toxins from surrounding tissues. As the throat begins to feel better, extend gargling to once every three hours. Along with the gargling, we use an ACV compress as follows: first, place a thin ACV soaked cloth over throat area, then place a hot, moist wrung-out towel to heat the throat and neck area, allowing ACV to absorb through the skin. Even in good health, use ACV gargle once or twice weekly to help remove the body toxins being eliminated through the throat tissues.
