Hey folks
I thought it would be interesting for everyone to have a deeper understanding of the history of apple cider vinegar, so as to see more clearly why Mel advocates for it in your dietary consideration.
Hippocrates (the father of medicine) treated his patients with it in 400 BC.
ACV is traced to Egyptian urns back to 3000 BC.
The Babylonians used it as a condiment and preservative, while Julius Ceasar's army used ACV tonic to fight off disease on their military campaigns.
The Greeks regularly kept ACV vessels for healing and flavoring.
It was used in biblical societies as a common healing agent and is mentioned in the Bible.
In Paris, during the middle ages, it was sold from barrels by street vendors as a body deodorant and skin tonic.
Even Christopher Columbus on his 1492 voyage to discover America had ACV vinegar barrels for prevention of scurvy, as did Captain James Cook on his ships to the south seas.
It was regularly used to disinfect and heal the wounds of civil war soldiers.
For centuries in Japan, the feared Samurai warriors drank it for power before battle.
The Chinese call it "the friend" because they have used it for centuries to process herbal medicines.
So there you have it. Broad and powerful historical references that attest to the use of ACV across countless cultures for treating disease and for strengthening resistance to afflictions of all kinds. I hope you will now make it a best practice in your health care regiment.
Strength and love,
Peter |
