- Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar alkalinizes the body, and most illnesses can’t thrive in alkaline environments. It also contains good bacteria to help fight of infection.
- Mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (preferably raw) into water or tea and drink three times a day
- Gargle apple cider vinegar to soothe a sore throat.
- Honey - Raw, local honey is antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic. Take 1 teaspoon three times a day

I was so lucky to win the $1 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the powerball lottery for about 20 years, and i didn’t win any big amount until Dr. Lucas helped me with his spiritual winning numbers, I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He gave me assurance that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. The third day, he gave me the numbers and gave me instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this to know that this spell really works and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Lucas for help is the end of suffering in your life, he has been helping people around the world and I’m happy that I’m among those who has benefited from his great work he’s doing, you can reach him if you really want to win the lottery Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 Thank You .
