Sounds like a good book; I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal on such a book in the summer sidewalk sales around my area.

You may be interested in the book, Vinegar, 1001 Practical Uses. Everything from cleaning, cooking, medicinal, miscellaneous (getting rid of fruit flies!, etc.) uses of vinegar in this book. Only cost me $10.

Thank you. I will look for the vinegar book.
Last year, my younger son had developed a problem with acid reflux.
I was watching tv one night and saw an item about people treating it wrong. Instead of stuffing one's self with tums, take a teaspoon of vinegar. Darn, if it didn't work for my son..
(the premise being that acid reflux is when the stomach does Not produce enough stomach acid, instead of everyone thinking that it produces too much..)
