Our primary interest is the treatment and prevention of Arthritis.
Although vinegar has been prescribed for all sorts of ailments, it is almost universally recognized in folk medicine as a means of thwarting the onset and progression of osteoarthritis. Many of our older visitors will have probably heard about this folk remedy from their own parents and grandparents.

Please share any family stories, and success stories that you might have in regards to the use of vinegar for the prevention and treatment of arthritis. We will be adding personal stories as we receive them.
