I have problems with the whole idea of "taking" a food. Get plenty of alkalizing and fermented food, that's all.
Raw vinegar is one way to do that, but over-focusing on one food automatically excludes others. Maybe you have raw sauerkraut one day, raw sour pickles later that week, kombucha another day, miso soup the next week, lots of a variety of vegetables every day, yogurt occasionally, just for example.
If you're attuned to your body, I think it's pretty easy to feel when you're in good pH balance. Really that's one of the easiest and most immediate things I feel. It's harder (actually, impossible) for me to directly feel my microbiome - I only notice that in terms of better digestion and a more robust immune system.
