  Apple cider vinegar is definitely a cure-all. Mix a 3 to 1 ratio of water to apple cider vinegar and then put in a spray bottle and spray on rose leafs. This will help get rid of rose rust. Another tip: if you have cooked stinky fish in your kitchen, put some apple cider vinegar in a bowel to absorb the odor.

  I know little about Apple Cider Vinegar and am in the process of seeking useful information - both for and against.
  
  This 'report' by a Beth Fontenot, that rubbishes ACV as a bit of an old wives' tale with no evidence to support it, contains no supportive evidence itself - the very aspertion it casts upon the subject matter of the article.
  
  Furthermore, terms like 'folksy anecdotes' and the exuberant use of "speech marks" around terms she views with suspision (they are abundant) appear to reveal the author's inability to hide her own bias.
  
  It's disappointing that you publish an article that apparently serves as a platform on which a seemingly mal-informed individual, vents.
  
  I'd hoped for evidence-based information in an article that was proposing a sever lack of evidence-based information for ACV.

  I suffered from the flu two years ago and after two weeks with "the bug" was wondering if I would ever get over it. For a solid month after this flu, I had terrible cold symptoms that I just couldn't shake off and a cough that I felt like would certainly eventually kill me. I was told by a friend at work, "Gordon", how to mix up a "coctail" that used two fruit juices and "apple cider vineger"., I was skeptikal at first, but my friend had not had so much as a cold in six years which, incidentally, was the legnth of time he had been using this drink. I knew he was telling the truth because this man is never sick and is always at work. I mixed it up and sure enough in about three days I began to notice a big difference. I have not contracted the flu anymore and have not had a cold since., beside this benefit, I had spent thousands of dollars on doctors for my migraine head aches. From my earliest memory, I use to get at least two a week and sometimes they would last two or three days at the time. Doctors ran all kinds of test but could offer neither explanation nor cure for my misery. One effect which I count as a blessing from God was learning that as long as I took a shot glass full in the morning everyday, my migraines got further and further apart and were less intense and easier to manage. I went from two or three headaches a week to maybe one a month and managed it with as little as taking one excedrine. "Folks or old wives' tale?" I am so glad I got past my skepticism and tried it. I would testify in any court, the stuff works! I mix one half gallon pure apple juice and a half gallon of pure grape juice (not from concentrate) with one 32 oz bottle of "white house" brand apple cider vineger. and a half cup of "clover honey". I take a shot glass full in the morning with breakfast. If you don't have a shot glass, use the measuring cup off the bottle of Nyquil in your medicine cabinet, you wont be needing the Nyquil anymore.

  The claims made for folk medicine should be subject to verification and validation, just as any other drug. However, this article was very poorly researched. Anyone with access to Google can find reference to published, peer-reviewed research that shows vinegar regulates blood sugar. Recent research supports claims of weight loss. This article should be removed as it fails to reflect the current research.

  I appreciate the objective side to any theory. Is allow us to view things from a different point to view....
  
  However in this case, I'd have to disagree with the author of the artical...
  
  To be simple...Shortly before reading this particular article, I'd eaten something that resulted in painful gas. I decided to log on the internet searching for home remedies for gas. Several sites and researches suggested apple cider vinegar. I did as recommended...while actually drinking the ACV (with water), I ran across this article...
  
  My gas was gone by the time I finished reading...
  
  Need I say more?

  Yeah dude, like doctors prescribing their harmful-to-the-body "remedies" could afford losing their billions by researching the real benefits of apple cider vinegar...this article is stupid and like someone said biased. I think if it was proven, all the doctors would lose their money because you can even make it at home. Keep on beleivers! I go to a kinesiologist and I have seen him work just amazing miracles on people and I would listen to his advice before ever going to a doctor. Not that he has said anything about vinegar, but he sure has told me a lot about the propaganda in the medical branch. Well not propaganda, just wrong-doing.

  Apple cider vinegar sure has helped me with my roses. Great cure for rust when mixed one third cider vinegar and 2/3 water.
