However, if we ask ourselves how vinegar works in the body to cure arthritis, we find it hard to come up with an explanation which will endure objective questioning. Many people offer the testimonies of people who have tried it with success. However the fact that great numbers of people over many years have sworn by vinegar as a cure for arthritis has to be balanced with the fact that great numbers of people have tried vinegar for arthritis and it didn t work for them. We hear a lot more about the people who win at gambling than the ones who lose. We get the truth about gambling when we compare the numbers of winners against the numbers of winners.
Many people also swear by vinegar as a cure for upset stomach.
I have used vinegar for this myself on occasion and it seems to have worked. However I have to recommend against it at this time for a couple of reasons. The first is that, sometimes it didn t work. The second is that, sometimes vinegar made it worse. The stomach is always playing a balancing act to get the right acid and base balance.
