There is something about the tongue and health that is very under researched. It’s widely known that poor health often results in white tongue, but no one seems to know what the tongue factor is. I’m not sure of the mechanism of action, but I plead with you to try this to see if it helps for you.
When asked, one fibromyalgia sufferer said that several days ago I read about taking 2 table spoon apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tsp baking soda 3x a day for relief of fibromyalgia. I am trying it.

I have also done a bit of research on vinegar and it has a lot of health benefits including weight loss.
