Answers: Braggs organic apple cider vinegar...also research magnesium an malic acid, it helps with the tenderness

What is Malic Acid?

A naturally occurring substance in apples and many other fruits and plants.
An essential ingredient in the energy production process.
Critical in decreasing the toxic effects of aluminum.
When combined with magnesium, malic acid is believed to be very effective as a cleansing and healing agent for FM and other systemic conditions.
Malic acid is a naturally occuring asymmetric, organic, dicagoxylic acid molecule.


Why do we need Magnesium?

One doctor says that almost 100% of the FM victims that he has worked with have exhibited magnesium deficiency.
Another critical function of magnesium is for the body's absorption of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, the B complex vitamins, and Vitamins C and E.
Magnesium is essential in ATP (energy) production. It is essential to cellular metabolism, including the transfer of phosphate from ADP to ATP.
It is needed in protein digestion and to help relax the nerve impulses by counteracting the stimulas of calcium.
Essential element of cellular metabolism that activates many enzymes.
Required for constituent of bones and teeth.
It relaxes nerve impulses.


Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

Muscle spasms and rapid heartbeat

ACV actually can cure alot of ailments. I don't know all of the benefits, but I can tell you that she needs to drink it with a straw..It damages/wears down the tooth enamel. (I wish your mom the best and its nice what you are doing...my mom has it too...)
well, my great-grandmother (god rest her soul), lived till the ripe old age of 92 years old, she was full of life and fisty as ever, even in her last few days of life. She used to drink Apple Cider Vinegar every day.
She would take the apple cider vinegar, about a shot glass full, a tablespoon of honey, mix together in a big glass and fill it with water.
She did this every night before going to bed. And let me tell you, she was an amazing woman, water skiing at 85!, she used to do ballroom dancing every wednesday. Her skin was flawless, and up untill she was about 89 years old she used to work the ranch she and my great-grandfather owned. taking care of the big gardens she had and 2 big coops of chickens.
She also took vitamins every day, never drank alcohol, never smoked.
I won't say it was 100% because of the vinegar, but I do think it had something to do with it.
My hubby takes a tablespoon of ACV straight up (YUCK!) every morning. He had read it helps blood flow, and a few years ago he had some block arteries and had surgery to have stents put in. Well, for the past year he's being taking it as well as other home remedies....He hasn't had any heart issues... But

He still gets a few breakouts, has gained a few pounds and does get sick still. It claims to deminish all of that and it hasn't....

I've done Mangosteen for my Lupus and it made me very sick after a few times.. I wouldn't outwardly suggest to rely on home remedies to make your problems go away. The truth is, some do actually help with Some things..but in order to sell more they claim they do EVEN more then what any data has shown. Good luck
My dad took it for years and swore it helped him. He mixed it every morning 1 tbl spoon of vinegar + 1 tbl spoon of honey.
If you go to the health food store I'm sure you can find some books about it.
