It would seem you have a limited knowledge of Chemistry and Human Physiology.

If you believe cider vinegar is an effective 'cure all' then go ahead and use it yourself but you should not attempt to persuade others to use "natural medicine"

There is no scientific evidence of cider vinegar having any influence on gall stones.

this remedy is reported by thousands of herbal practitioners you can find it on hundreds of websites

once I was threatened by my company because I told some patients to squeeze fresh lemon juice instead of buying the vitamin C pills and told someone to eat carrots with papaya instead of buying beta carotene or vitamin A supplements, all these diseases originates from junk food and poor diet I have yet to find someone sick following a healthy diet.

OK you believe Quackery is a "science" I do not share your opinion.

There is no benefit in this debate being continued.

pharmaceutical companies spends billions of dollars trying to persuade people away from natural medicine, healthy lifestyle and exercise yet most chemical medicines are full of toxicities that cause great damage to the liver.

Happy to agree with healthy lifestyle and exercise prevents many health problems occurring.

Can't agree natural medicine can cure any problems caused by unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise.

The quackery comes in by suggesting an 'easy fix' is available.

Just over a year ago I had gallbladder problems, I was given ultrasound and kept in hospital overnight.

Wanted me to return to have the GB removed, told me I had stones in the GB.

I decided not to, then about a month later I got the pain again. A friend told me about drinking

apple juice & apple cider vinegar. I did this every morning for 3 weeks and not had a problem since.

That's what has worked for me.

The "apple cider vinegar" has had no effect other than that of placebo and it has had no "curative" effect

It is common for people to suffer a single episode of Biliary Colic and the problem may or may not reoccur.
