raw vinegar

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Has anyone heard of any raw vinegars besides apple

cider vinegar? I recently tried out a raw kale salad

recipe which turned out delicious and now I'm looking

to make similar recipes with different flavors and

would like to try other raw vinegars -- that is, if

any exist. . . has anyone made their own vinegars?

I am aware that this is one of those very debatable issues. I am not posting

it for that reason. Just wanted to share it with people who would like the

info as I did. We all have to decide for ourselves what works or doesn't

work for our bodies.

THE TRUTH ABOUT VINEGAR, by Kenneth S. Jaffrey, Naturopath, from his

book " Natural Foods " , Published by Kenneth S. Jaffrey, 9 Mandalay

Avenue, Nelly Bay, Qld. 4819 Australia, 1985

 

Vinegar is a poison and even when dignified by the addition of the

words " Apple cider " it is still a poison. Vinegar is diluted acetic

acid. It is obtained by conversion of alcohol into an acid by the

bacterium Mycoderma Aceti. Vinegar may be made from any saccharine

solution and therefore any fruit may be used as a base. There are

many types of vinegar. The commonest in this country is Malt or Beer

Vinegar. Every country has its standard or traditional vinegar. Malt

vinegar is best known on Great Britain and Australia and surrounding

countries. Apple cider vinegar is the standard vinegar in the United

States of America. Some other types of vinegar are: Raspberry, Guava,

Pineapple, Raisin, Date, Brandy and Spirit Vinegar. Each vinegar has

a slightly distinctive flavour derived from tiny traces of

unfermented fruit which remain mixed with the acetic acid. In recent

years vinegar has achieved new popularity due to the publication of

several books by American doctors and others. As the writers are

Americans they naturally recommend the traditional Apple cider

vinegar.

 

The Vinegar Cure can be traced back to many years before the American

doctor who re-started the Vinegar craze was born. It is widely used

as a home remedy for both internal and external use for at least two

hundred years. It fell into disuse and then was resurrected about

1820 by Mr. Frank Coutts, a Scottish vinegar manufacturer, who wrote

a book called The Acetic Acid Cure or the Spinal system of Treatment.

Mr. Coutts believed that vinegar would cure all ailments that mankind

was heir to. Vinegar was administered internally, massaged vigorously

into the spine and washed gently over the skin. But...the vinegar HAD

to be a special type sold by Mr. Coutts which had happened to be Malt

Vinegar.

 

About one hundred years later, in 1958, Dr. Jarvis wrote in his book

Folk Medicine in which he recommended (among other things) the

Vinegar Cure. This time the vinegar HAD to be Apple Cider Vinegar.

Malt or Wine Vinegar would not do. As an added attraction he combined

the Vinegar Cure with Honey. The vinegar craze grew and spread all

over the world.

 

Vinegar, no matter what its origin may be, is still acetic acid and

is most unsuitable for human consumption. The highly corrosive and

irritating acid hardens the liver, unduly stimulates and irritates

the digestive glands, interferes with the formation of red blood

corpuscles and, through its constant irritating effect upon the mucus

membranes, of the intestinal canal, is one of the chief causes of

ulceration, catarrh, and indirectly, cancer. IT is also a prime cause

of stomach ulceration.

 

Vinegar is useless as a cure for disease. It is harmful and should be

rigidly excluded from the diet. It acts like a counter-irritant but

does not have any beneficial effect. Like every other drug, it does

have the effect of altering the course of a disease by suppression,

but does not cure. Vinegar has caused many illnesses and even death.

Post-mortem examination reveals that vinegar produces scalded mouth

and a greyish-white condition of the stomach mucosa. Two deaths have

recently been reported in Australia.

 

If you still persist in consuming vinegar, either as a food or a

remedy, remember -- you have been warned.

(sigh)

 

Yes, I know about the vinegar controversy. Just like I

know about the bowel cleansing controvery, the

fruit-or-no-fruit controversy. And the

water-don't-drink-water controversy.

 

So, does anyone know of any raw vinegars besides apple

cider vinegar? Many thanks.
