In ancient times, people used old techniques in preparing apple juice. Fresh, crushed apples were left in wooden containers until they turned sour. The final product is known even today as the apple vinegar, which - after years of both medical and practical explorations - turned to be enormously powerful remedy for many illnesses, as well as very practical and non-toxic household cleanser. It certainly cannot cure or clean everything, but it helps - and that is the fact.
People of the ancient times were not fat - it was not the diets or lack of food. It was a mere vinegar drink once a day, which kept them lean and healthy. It is only logical they found it extremely helpful, due to the circumstances they have lived in and the ability to move fast at all time - whether hunting or even, fast migrating.

Of course, you probably remember how your granny soaked your socks into vinegar each time you went on fire with fever, however your mommy tried to pour that anti-pyretic syrup down your throat. Granny could not really explain how it worked - but it worked. Granny also suggested mom she should mix a small amount of vinegar with lukewarm water and treat your infected ear. Of course mommy used ear-drops my doctor prescribed. They helped, certainly - but vinegar would help, as well. (It has been proven in animals, not long ago, that mixture fabulously treats ear infections and allergies, which result in sore ears in dogs).
Of course, you have all seen the two tidy ladies from that famous British series, going on from house to house, teaching people how to clean - vinegar is always amongst their most powerful tools - from scrapping oil remnants from stoves, to sprinkling vinegar over carpets and cloth-covered furniture, in order to remove odors. And it works, at both occasions. Of course, you will not neglect your antibiotics or whatever drugs doctor prescribes if you are seriously ill, but vinegar certainly cannot do you wrong. From food poisoning to taking care of your stomach problems - vinegar is the winner.
Stomach problems? Simply mix a 2 deciliter glass of water with a table spoon of vinegar (preferably apple, it is mild and tasty) and sprinkle some of your kitchen sodium bicarbonate in it. Drink it every morning prior to taking any food. It will surely calm your stomach, whether you suffer from gastritis or similar intestinal disorders.

In the past several decades, vinegar - along with many other home remedies - found itself lost amongst immense flood of new miraculous medications. However, it is coming back big time. If you ask yourself why, think a bit if you have ever had a nasty side-effect from a medication. Or, have you ever taken a prescribed one, and threw it up being allergic to some of the substances? (One can never know. When we read the pros and the cons of a medication on that little piece of paper, printed in very small letters, it results in a bi of unease, right? For every advantage, there are few disadvantages and possible side-effects. If it treats this, it will hurt that, and so on.)
Fortunately for all, many professionals in various fields of medicine strongly support vinegar, as well as many other home-made remedies (consumption of quail eggs for immunity, lemon and milk as anti-acne face cleanser etc. - the list goes on.)
Being one amongst many persons, who had experienced the power of vinegar in teething, bringing down the temperature in high fevers, calming down restless and painful stomach and, of course, getting rid of stains and odors, I can only say it works.
