Folk Medicine

Doesn't Common Sense and Annecdotal information deserve credence! In my mind yes it does. D.C. Jarvis, M.D. decided to open his mind to the possibilities of all the home remedies he was seeing in his rural Vermont medical practice. It has been years since I read this book, but I know personally that many of the suggetions in the book are valid. You can avoid food poisoning by take a tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar (all natural) in water before eating or if you feel that fish might have been tainted . . . take the vinegar cut with water ASAP.

A friend who makes her living looking after children, kept from getting ill for more then 25 years by using pure apple cider vinegar. She didn't bother to cut it with water! The one time she didn't bother to get out of bed to take it was the one time that she became ill. She stopped the flu on many occasions, as well I have. I always put at least a tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar with 4 to 8 ounces of water. The doctor, by paying attention to what the farmers were doing to help their livestock thrive, was able to help his human patients. Excellent book. Well worth having in your library.
