In 1958, Dr. Alvenia Fulton (1893 to 1999) started Fultonia Health and Fasting Institute on Chicago’s South Side, a combination health food store, restaurant, and herbal pharmacy. Fulton grew up on a farm in Pulaski, Tennessee under the guidance of a mother who understood folk medicine such as the medicinal use of apple cider vinegar. She used apple cider vinegar as part of the ways she kept her family healthy. I’ve you heard someone suggest a table spoon of apple cider vinegar before bed and first thing in the morning as way of suppressing your appetite and thereby shedding excess weight? It’s not a myth. Apple cider vinegar increases one's metabolism, contains fiber that make your stomach feel full, and contains potassium, which works as a diuretic that naturally reduces your water weight.
