7 Reasons to Start Using Organic Vinegars

Hello tender friends! Happy almost Friday! Let’s welcome the weekend with some fun facts about healing!

What if you could protect yourself from the plague and achieve a more youthful, beautiful glow at the same time?

What if you could kickstart your own healing and prevent diseases as serious as cancer while also adding delicious flavor to your food for mere pennies a day?

While I am far enough out in my healing that I don’t drink diluted apple cider vinegar every day anymore, I did every day for months as part of my own recovery. (And don’t worry, I know that the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar have been written about ad nauseam and you can just Google them if you’re interested. That’s not what this post is about. But I will say if you’re struggling with weight loss, trying ACV is a really cheap way to test something out if you haven’t already).

I shared in Monday’s post how excited I get when people start healing. Well, I also get excited by a good book.

I discovered “The Healing Powers of Vinegar” by Cal Orey and started turning the pages like it was a bestseller. It’s that riveting.

I mean, everyone who believes in even a moderately “crunchy” lifestyle has been touting the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar for what feels like forever. And I personally felt a boost of energy the first time I consumed it, so I’ve been a believer for a while. But reading the book opened my eyes to how much more amazing it is as a healing remedy than I ever realized.

Ok, here are 7 insights I gleaned that are different from the typical benefits I’ve read about in the past.

1. It’s not just apple cider vinegar that can heal your body in miraculous ways. Red wine vinegar contains the same important antioxidants as red wine- without the alcohol. Anthony and I don’t consume any form of alcohol other than what naturally occurs in fermented foods, so finding out that I could obtain the same youth enhancing properties from red wine vinegar has been a win for us!

2. Remember the four thieves who robbed people’s homes yet never fell prey to the plague during the Middle Ages? The recipe they used to protect themselves was 3 quarts of apple cider vinegar, three tablespoons each of rosemary, lavender, sage, mint, rue, and plantain; and six cloves of garlic. So I’m stocking these things in my house for the next plague that comes around.

3. The normal lifespan of a chicken is 7 1/2 to 8 years. Dr Alexis corral kept a chicken heart alive and healthy for over three decades by administering apple cider vinegar daily to the cells of an embryo chicken heart. And yes, when our chicks get a little bit older, we will be putting apple cider vinegar in their water!

4. Remember all the hysteria over SARS back in the early 2000s? (I was in high school at this time). Well, vinegar was so effective at protecting against the virus that government officials implemented strategies to control the prices of vinegar and other antiviral medicines. Vinegar so effective in protecting against SARS that many sellers were price gouging. I imagine that if it was that effective at protecting people against SARS that it’s also effective against other viruses that have not yet been studied. (Apparently there are studies on the efficacy of vinegar against COVID out there).

5. Fancy and expensive spas that prepare “vinegar cocktails” for their clients before entering a sauna to increase detoxification benefits. (As an aside, owning an infrared sauna is one of our major life goals. I have never felt as alive as I did when I was regularly using the sauna to detox and put myself into a parasympathetic state, vs. sympathetic state).

6. This isn’t from the book, but I personally find regular salad dressing to be disgusting. If you’ve looked at the label, it’s also full of ingredients that your body cannot easily process body cannot easily process. So the only dressing we use in our house is balsamic, red wine or apple cider vinegar with olive oil or even just plain vinegar.

7. Our neighbors very generously gave us a large piece of venison recently. We marinated the huge tenderloin in vinegar and spices before cooking it. We ate off of that piece of meat for well over a week, and it was perfectly preserved with not even a hint of an off flavor. We kept asking each other how it was possible to meet hadn’t gone bad yet and realized it must have been because of the vinegar soak! If you’re not sure if you’ll eat up a piece of meat before it goes bad, please try this and let me know if it works for you as well as it did for us!

So who shouldn’t consume vinegar as part of their healing? To be fair, the book also cites examples of people whose systems became “stressed” by consuming it. As I have repeatedly said, this is why remaining in touch with your body is so important.

If you’re one of the people for whom vinegar isn’t healthy, of course you should avoid it.

But as you have gathered if you’ve been here for a while, I believe almost everyone can heal from almost everything. I think that vinegar can be part of that healing for most people and hope you’ll let me know if you try it!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Next week I’ll be sharing how Yahweh’s provision has me all emotional… again, as well as how my mom beat clear-cell ovarian cancer. I’ve just been dying to share what I worked on for Lent (even though it’s old news at this point) after that.

Ok, remain blessed, tender friends! See you Monday!

Thank you for sharing!
