Dan, Vinegars are as varied as wines. Yes, they are made to drink and have claimed medicinal powers since ancient greeks. The idea is to find a balance. Even using them topically is common in some books on healing. I don't know which wine or vinegar is best for which infection, but I'm certain

I knew a nurse that would use a vinegar and honey or royal jelly concoction of her own on wounds and red areas and I wish I knew what all was in it. Many wounds would heal with people never doing any bedrest. (The doctors backed her as long as patients didn't have any complaints.) Nobody ever

With all the talk about more minor infections I think it needs to be said that living comfortably with a minor infection is often prefferable to treating it. It isn't hard to creat drug resistant infections anymore. Some of us have tubes going inside us. This is a permanent source of infection.

When you take anti biotics it kills bad bacteria. Unfortunately, it kills good bacteria at the same time. If you wait an hour after taking the anti biotic and then take acidpholus it should help resolve that problem. Acidopholus is the good bacteria in your intestines and by replacing it you
