In the afternoons I have been making myself a 24-ounce tumblerful of lemon water. At first it was just because I need to drink more water and lemon is good for you. But I started noticing that when the afternoon energy slump hit, the lemon water seemed to really pick me up, even better than a cup of coffee. I thought, "Surely it is my imagination, " but the results have been consistent enough that I am convinced that it true.
Here is the "recipe;" I use a plastic juicer thing to squeeze all of the juice out of one lemon into my 24-ounce tumbler. I add as much ice as I want and water. Sometimes I add some stevia and/or a sprig of fresh mint. (The stevia makes it into a lemonade! )
In the winter, I may use this recipe but add hot water instead of ice and cold water. Perhaps I will include a tea bag and make it a lemon-y herbal tea. (Because I love hot drinks in the winter and shy away from cold ones.)
I hope it helps you, too!

Niacin and salt water for energy
Niacin is used by the body to synthesize NAD which in turn is used to synthesize ATP the main cellular energy storage/carrier. Deficiency of niacin can also manifest as pellagra.
A couple of years ago, I started to feel tired all the time. After reading books by Dr. Brownstein on the importance of salt (not table salt but Celtic or Himalayan) and iodine, I started taking a tablespoon of sole (salt water solution) first thing in am with 8 oz of water and iodine. This probably gave me back 80% of my lost energy. After I started supplementing with 250 mg of niacin (not the flush free version) my energy was totally back. I recommend reading "niacin the real story". Niacin and iodine are probably the 2 most powerful and effective supplements you can take for energy and hormonal functioning.
The power of niacin is quite miraculous and can cure arthritis (niacinamide 1500 mg 2x a day with 1000 mg vit c) depression, schizophrenia, addiction, high cholesterol etc.

I tried ACV for the first time yesterday. I had heard about it years ago and thought "geez, vinegar, people are crazy. " As the years went by, health problems occurred. I felt very blah everyday. I became very sad and depressed and just chalked it up as part of getting older. I figured that with a heart condition, high blood pressure, Interstitial cystitis, ovarian and breast cysts, that I was just supposed to feel this way. I came down with a bad viral that came on suddenly a few days ago. I felt like every condition I had, had tripled and my body was going to just give up. I was so desperate. I went to the DR. But since it was a viral, he couldn't do anything except to advise me to wait it out and drink plenty of liquid. It didn't help. I decided to try the ACV after remembering it when I stumbled across your site yesterday. I had ONE dose of it and felt 70% better within the hour. I cried. I really and truly cried, because I realized that all of a sudden. I REALLY felt better. I, just for some reason, felt happy (I didn't know that was a real feeling anymore). I felt less achy and my body (especially my bladder) felt SO much better. Today I have had more of the ACV and I have been bouncing around and feeling so cheerful and just giddy. My husband has been staring at me, (wondering if I have finally lost it probably), but he has been so happy to be able to cut up with me like we used to when we were younger. I really think this site and ACV saved my life. I really had given up and was just waiting for my time. I truly was as sad as that is to say. I had set into a frame of mind and that was that. I am SO happy that I was WRONG! Bless your site and bless all of you!
