Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) vs Acid Reflux / GERD - The One Year Update and FAQ

Over year ago, I decided to try to cure my acid reflux naturally, by drinking a tonic made with apple cider vinegar. My results were great: I have been off meds and symptom free ever since. Ive made two videos on this topic and I find that I continue to get the same questions over and over. In this video, I answer those questions.

My recipe for a 2 quart (2 litre) pitcher of tonic (roughly 6 servings):

2/3rd cup (160 ml) apple cider vinegar (with "the mother")
1/3rd teaspoon powdered ginger
2/3rd teaspoon cinnamon
6-8 grinds of pink Himalayan sea salt
sweetener to taste (I do 6 squirts of liquid stevia)
water to fill the rest of the pitcher
