Both of my parents drink apple cider vinegar everyday. Dad says its good for what ails you. His main use for it is controlling his sugar level. It works almost immediately. I thought he was joking so he showed me how well it worked by taking his sugar before and after. I tried drinking in several different ways with sugar, honey, in a glass of water....gagged everytime and burped it up all day long. NOT FOR ME! Momma swears by the foot soaking.
