Thank you for your article! I found it to be a very interesting read. It is believed that illness and disease can not grow or thrive in an alkaline environment. Based on this belief, a person who is suffering from allergies, a cold, the flu, sore throat, fatigue or other ailments, would find relief once their ph balance is restored to an alkaline state. Apple Cider Vinegar is supposed to help restore the body to an alkaline state, and therefore relieving the person from whatever condition they are suffering. Of course, everyone's ph balance is different, while some will be more acidic than others, so therefore, treatment may take longer to improve the condition.
