Recently a Christian sister asked prayers on Facebook because she had real pain in her upper left arm. Today she posted: "It's a frozen shoulder... no biggie. I'll exercise it every day and I'll be good as new in a couple months."
I responded to her: For a number of years I had joint aches and other related issues, was taking MSM / Glucosamine for it - and it was relatively expensive. One month, about 10 years ago, I could not afford to buy that over-the-counter medication. Talking with my brother in Alabama, he suggested I replace that with honey. I decided to try it and in a couple of books on Folk Medicine, I found that apple cider vinegar makes a great aches and pain medicine when combined with honey.
I began putting an overflowing teaspoon of honey and one of apple cider vinegar in my morning coffee and in my before bed green tea / chamomile tea combo. Within a few weeks - no joint pains, no real aches.
And there are great benefits: (1) It is much cheaper than the MSM / Glucosamine, (2) It adds great flavor to my coffee and tea, (3) and at the age of 81 years young, if I feel like walking to the store or just going for a long walk - not a problem.
An additional benefit I discovered during the many years I have been writing. In the morning I get my cup of coffee, sit at my computer, and write a Christian blog and/or Friends Ministry eNewsletter. Often I will get absorbed in writing and forget my coffee. When I do reach for my coffee, it is cold. And since I drink only black coffee - it has lost its flavor.
But, voila! - I have discovered that when I have added honey and apple cider vinegar to my coffee - even cold it still tastes great.
Good health and no more wasted coffee! A win-win situation.
One last benefit I discovered. Back in the late 1980s my mom had a problem with her jaw. At times it felt like it was locking up - and she had to go to a dentist to have a procedure done. Fast forward about 30 years and I started experiencing the same effect - it felt like my jaw bone joints were starting to bind or lock. But once I began my regimen of honey / apple cider - it never happened again.
I am not a doctor and cannot tell anyone else what is good for them (except when I say God is the answer) - but from personal experience I will say that honey and apple cider vinegar in my morning coffee and evening tea have worked wonders for me.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
