Switchell had vinegar and molasses. I have made some. It has a ferocious flavor but is strangely refreshing. Notice how Jesus was given vinegar to drink. They were not being mean, vinegar in water was a refreshing beverage, much as we think lemon in water is. We tend to think of acidic things as more refreshing than sweet things.<br /><br />As for the medicinal value, it has a good amount of potassium. I don't think much magnesium is in it.Ohio Annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-34747592751533906982010-04-13T10:06:33.751-05:002010-04-13T10:06:33.751-05:00Yes, I've tried it.

Among other benefits, I quit getting sick, simple as that. I was a good gauge in my case because sore throats/complications plagued me a couple of times and a couple of months out of every year. No coincindence there; rather, a direct cause and effect. I rely on it. <br /><br />Background. My overall health is very good, no meds, no issues outside the realm of aging :) , etc. I don't know what constitutes a good or a bad 'candidate' for this tonic so I'm not necessarily recommending it as much as I am just throwing out my experience for consideration. Doctors and nurses pretty much raise their eyebrows about it. Moderation would seem to be sensible and a key to success, as with any food or nutrient.<br /><br />Br. Gabriel Thomas mentioned honey. Among the benefits - stand-alone or in the tonic - honey, just a spoon, is both relaxing and energizing. Good for both the day's end and the day's beginning. Personal experience, not science talking here. :)aspiring...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825316824097996382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-79029515992219549632010-04-11T00:56:53.802-05:002010-04-11T00:56:53.802-05:00I have a son who suffers from excessive sweating b...I have a son who suffers from excessive sweating but before I rush out and purchase some ACV I will wait for your report.<br /><br />Keep us informedVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403184829256955768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-6450270966478655622010-04-10T15:27:30.883-05:002010-04-10T15:27:30.883-05:00Supposedly, if you add it to horse feed it keeps t...Supposedly, if you add it to horse feed it keeps the mosquitoes off of the horses - sounds like it can do ANYTHING!templariidvmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-891624711882150842010-04-10T13:13:49.228-05:002010-04-10T13:13:49.228-05:00Yes.

The mixture also included honey which was supposed to add a boost to the ACV mix on a number of fronts. I don't recall any particular benefit at the time, however, I was in my early 20's and I didn't need any extra boost. However, now, I may pick it up again to test the waters, so to speak.Br.

I'm originally from rural Alabama, and when I was a child I remember something called "Jogging in a Jug" being marketed in the grocery stores. It was apple cider vinegar diluted in fruit juice. Maybe it's a Southern thing?<br /><br />Now, here in Northern Virginia, outside D.C., the nearest thing is kambucha tea. Frightening stuff in my opinion. It purports the same results as ACV.A. T.
