HONEY
We don’t mean to go into the doctoring business but we want to pass along a home remedy. Stanley Loudermilk was in this week and said everyone was asking about how much honey and vinegar to take for arthritis and various ailments, and he wanted some little cards printed so he would have them handy for his friends. He says this past summer, he visited Clyde Friddle, in Moorefield, who is a young 86 and as spry and supple as a much younger man. Mr. Friddle, widely known throughout the eastern part of the state, has 109 colonies of bees. Every night for 40 years he has taken a glass of water with vinegar and honey.
Of course, Mr. Loudermilk proudly added, our white lynn honey is far superior to the honey of that area, made from blue thistle, etc…
What started all this right now was the Buckeye Sunday School Class had a card from Rev. and Mrs. Ray, and they were telling that the vinegar and honey was helping his arthritis so much.
A few years back, we read a book by a New England doctor and he credited the long life span of Vermonters to the cider vinegar and honey, also cranberry juice, that the natives used. In fact, he said it would help most any ailment, and make you feel better even if you had no ailments.
Back to the recipe.
One glass of water, three tablespoons of strained honey and add brown cider vinegar to suit your taste…
