Apple Cider Vinegar
I saw a post about How to get rid of Fruit Flies in Google Reader. Then I did a little search on Apple Cider Vinegar. The search reminds of all the remedies that I have been told about. That we as an American society don't use anymore.
We have gotten so far away from simple things that we could do are selves. We would pay someone else to mix simple items together.
Like killing Fruit Flies. All it takes is a bowl of ACV plus a couple drops of dish soap. The ACV attracts the flies and dish soap breaks the surface tension of the water. Which allows the flies to sink and drowned. Started to explain surface tension, but this link works great.
Now with that knowledge. You can see that any sweet liquid would work. All you need to do is add the drops of dish soap. People have also used Red Wine Vinegar, Beer, or try anything sweet. You could use water to add to depth. Just give different stuff a try. Like coating the side of the bowl with oil. It might keep crawling bugs IN and drowned them also.
Apple Cider Vinegar is also none to cure aliments also. It helps pets with arthritic conditions, gives a beautiful shine to their coats, controls fleas & barn flies. If you don't have any pets. How about this symptoms. It supposedly works for allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, gout and also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. WOW what a list!
To control the items in that list. You will need to mixed a few ingredients.
For daily maintenance:
2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar
16 ounces of water
2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar
16 ounces of water
Sip, don't chug! Three times a daily.
It does NOT have a good taste. I suggest pay closer attention to your body for a week before using this. Then force yourself to drink this for 4 days. You may notice with in the first 24 to 48 hours. That will greatly depend on what your eating now. Another words, how your taking care of your body. You will notices your allergies will disappear, your face will have a healthy & youthful glow, you will look & feel more VITAL, you will have consistent energy, and you will more easily digest your food.
Okay, now this is a type of food not a pill. I would think, that as long you receive 6 teaspoons of ACV thought out the day it would work. Honey will also help with the allergies.
For a quick responds use 2 tablespoons and don't any sweeteners.
Before drinking please read below.

TED'S REMEDIES

Now I have always recommended the use of the second one, which requires that you add baking soda to the ACV to neutralize the acid to just 7.0 or close to it before drinking, otherwise the acidity will bring on dentin sensitivity and cause erosion of the enamel. A minimum pH on ACV of 6.0 and above should stop enamel erosion, in case you like somewhat of a "sour" ACV tastes, ideally it should be closer to 7.0

You might wonder whether therapeutic effectiveness of the second one might be as effective as the original one. It should be at least as effective if not more effective than an original formula for two reasons:
1. If you take the original ACV remedy (2 TBS in a glass of water), the body is going to neutralize it anyway using the available bicarbonates the body stores have. If not, you get a burning tongue or skin of the tongue become lose or tears up, if the body don't have sufficient bicarbonates. It takes AT LEAST A week to get a bicarbonate level to optimum provided you take bicarbonates everyday. I am of course assuming that in this instance, you don't have sufficient bicarbonate levels.
2. The newer ACV remedy I have always recommended (AKA Ted's ACV recipe) is to ADD baking soda until most of the acid is neutralized near 7.0. Chemically it is not changed, the malic becomes a malate when baking soda has neutralized, but then the body is going to convert to THAT anyway. What YOUR body wants is that the pH is at an ideal theoretical pH 7.35, which is equivalent to the pH of your blood.
So for me an ideal food, whether we talk about ACV or any other food should GENERALLY be slightly alkaline. If you don't do it for your body the body will change to an alkaline anyway, provided that your body is FIT to do that! So it is best not to assume that your body is FIT and it is best to assume the worst and just add the baking soda as a precaution.
Making it alkaline will give you the extra benefit of more oxygen in your body and greater buffers the body need so you should in fact feel better with the newer formula. In fact, athletes takes pure baking soda to relieve them of muscular pain from long physical endurance. Thinking along this makes it easier to use this newer formula as well as protect against enamel erosion.
Many people have misinterpreted the event where a body becomes alkaline in event of a person becomes sick to be a "bad thing". However, this is HOW a body kills off invading bacteria and viruses by raising up the alkalinity level. So in fact alkalinity is actually needed. When an immune system is suppressed or destroyed (from surgery or chemical toxins), the body will raise its alkalinity level much more frequently than a healthy person. What a potentially sick person needs to do is to give sufficient buffers for alkalinity using baking soda, but also regenerate the body's immune system (the thymus) with supplementation of secretogues, such as L-glutamine, melatonin, and iodine from seaweed and kelp."
