Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

... soooo is this just the general any-brand ACV or does it have to be the name brand 'with the mother'?

And have you seen the COST of ACV lately????
{muttering and searching for a video of how to make ACV....}

I was just wondering that too! Hmmm if the price is going up ya' know that means people are figuring out the over medication-crud or something.

It’s actually quite easy to make! I usually made some whenever we had a good apple harvest, using the cores and peels

@Baymule - OK -- all this about apple cider vinegar I kept filing in the back of my mind, then I thought heck search it online -- Duck Duck Go -- and holy moly the stuff is like killer good for SO SO MANY things! I decided give it a shot - never know what good will happen. So, I'm sitting here sipping a glass of equal parts apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass filled with water - and damn if it doesn't taste good too. Might not do it everyday but heck a few times a week might be reasonable.

Switchell is one name for acv and honey beverage. I add a hefty pinch of salt when my electrolytes are low.

Any ACV, but the mother is better. Buy a gallon of ACV, buy small jar of, with the mother. Pour out some ACV, pour in the mother. In a month or so, you have a gallon of ACV with the mother.

 

[Baymule]

For dehydration, mix 3-4 heaping teaspoons and a 1/4 teaspoon salt in a glass of water. It forms an electrolyte solution and is especially good after the ACV and honey, after diarrhea and/or throwing up. I make it when I’m outside sweating gallons.

Got a bunch more maters at Farmers market because I really don’t have enough to can out of the garden.
Randys hershey squirts continue coming back. Even after the honey/vinegar mix, they were back next day. (Personally I think it was the most effective thing he’s taken but he refuses to drink it again because he doesn’t like honey, or vinegar .) So he got Immodium and has been taking it everyday since, and STILL it plagues him. I think another Dr appt is in order.
I’m concerned because several years ago he had a prostate procedure (not removal) and there were cancer cells.Dr said he “thinks he got it all” He refuses to be checked again so that is stressing me out. Now his blood test from pre surgery comes back and says
My rabbit kindled. She had ONE big baby and ate it alive. . She was still working on it when I found her and it was still warm. No blood in nails. She never pulled fur so I am chalking it up to first time mama.
Fen continues bossing the chicks around.
He insists the chicks must be inside the coop at all times, even when I put them out to forage. I even had HIM herd them outside but as soon as I turn my back, he gathers them all up and back into the coop they go!

He tries so hard to be good, but he’s so sure he knows better than I do. Must be that “Y” chromosome.

What a day . A “thinks he got it all” is a reassuring NOT thing to say. DH went through that a few years ago and now just does the blood test to check PSA levels. Thank God the tests keep coming back good.
Ah Fen - time to put on the good manners again.

Well, stoopid rabid had at least 7 more babies today. (But one yesterday morning ). All dead and on the wire of course. Hope she does better next time. She was sweet, I was hoping she’d be a good mama.

IF the pre surgery test isn't good, they'll postpone. However, PSA isn't normally part of test, I don't believe. Apparently there was cancer if doctor "thinks he got it all". I would be concerned!

IMO any surgeon who knew the patient had been in any such treatment, would want an update & possibly such testing to rule out issues for their op. But I'm not his doctor.

Sorry about the rabbits but being a first timer, I'd give her one more try. Hope for best.
