The diluted vinegar described above is grocery store vinegar which is pasturized and contains no mother. The curative power is in the mother not in the acid. The mother is the same familiy as penecilin, except that it natural. I am 87 and taking unpasturized raw vinegar for over 20 years for stomach upsets, infectiions and diarhea. It stops diarhea and indigestion in less than 15 minutes. I have a friend who is taking it for stomach ulcers and says it is the only thing that helps. You can't dispute practical experience.
