Vinegar Festival Extolls Healing Powers of Vinegar

"The Vinegar Man" Lawrence Diggs heads the eighth annual International Vinegar Festival in Roslyn, South Dakota, a place that welcomes people worldwide to appreciate the vast virtues of vinegar.

Calendars are being marked because Saturday June 16 is Vinegar Day -- at least in South Dakota. "The Vinegar Man" Lawrence Diggs heads the eighth annual International Vinegar Festival in Roslyn, a place that welcomes people worldwide to appreciate the vast virtues of vinegar.

For those who can't whisk away to South Dakota for a day of "Soured Powered Fun for the Whole Family" packed with vinegar-related fun and festivities, they can still celebrate vinegar for their health's sake year-round, notes Cal Orey, author of The Healing Powers of Vinegar.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, at least 47 million Americans live with no health insurance in the richest country in the world. The Vinegar author says, "In the 21st century, preventive health care and natural remedies -- like apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, and fruit-flavored vinegar -- can help people stay healthy for pennies a day and keep doctors away."

Orey adds, "If you can't afford skyrocketing health care costs, you can't afford not to use vinegar in your daily wholesome diet chock-full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, olive oil and vinegar." Plus, in The Healing Powers of Vinegar, proven home cures may help you ward off summer woes such as insect and bee stings, sunburn, swimmers ear, toenail fungus, and weight gain which can lead to high blood pressure, out of whack cholesterol, and diabetes 2.

This will be the eighth "Vinegar Festival" on record, and Orey hopes it inspires folks around the world to celebrate vinegar. She says, "People in countries (such as China and Korea) around the globe reap the inexpensive health perks of versatile vinegar every day. You, too, can put the amazing powers of a practical, popular and potent elixir to work in your own backyard, whether it be California, Iowa or New York.

"While the folk remedy is applauded on Vinegar Day," concludes Orey, "amazing vinegar can be used in every household 365 days a year for everyday folks (and companion animals) at any age."
