[YEA]  11/11/2006: Painfree from Oregon writes: "Alright, I must post again. I am posting because I want all to know who reads that the ACV works, and I am still painfree. It is 6:01 pm here in Oregon. I am "With The Mother" _______ raw and unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar. The price was $2.79. This vinegar contains no preservatives. It tastes great. This morning when I woke up, I was so awake. This is a miracle. Usually when I wake up, I dread it, I still have pain; it takes all night long to try to concentrate on getting the reflux pain to back off. This morning I was filled with so much energy. I cleansed my face before I went to bed last night. I put about 3 drops of ACV in my hand, added 6 drops of water, rubbed my hands together and patted it on my facial skin, being careful not to get it in my eyes. I let it air dry, and then over the top, I placed my moisturizing creme. I told my husband, I do not care if I smell like the apple orchard, if I have to bath in ACV I will, for I went to bed with no pain, and woke up with no pain. I slept like a newborn baby. I did not wake up to get water or use the bathroom. My face felt like soft silk, and it still does right now. _______ ACV and olive oil went on my sandwich with feta cheese and one slice of tomato, lettuce and maple cured ham on healthy nut bread. I am drinking lots of water too. This is the first time since the last past 5 years that I have enjoyed eating a meal. I also had a small glass of apple juice. I had so much energy in the wind and rain and walking down the mall lanes to get to the health food store. My ACV is my new friend and she will go wherever I go. I have no cough, no neck pain, no back or leg pain. I have not had to take medicine for the cough. I feel so clean on the inside of me. My acid reflux and cough medicine look so lonely sitting next to My 16 fl. Oz. _______ ACV. I was so in pain yesterday, I could not stand it one more minute trying to concentrate on trying to get the pain to stop. I was so worn out. My skin had become so dry from the medication, I was tired all day long from the medication and lack of sleep. I did go grocery shopping, I read to find out which foods were the healthiest, and my grocery bill came out 40 dollars cheaper. I bought fresh foods, foods that contain low fat, low sugar, no more than 17 g.: Here is a partial list: peaches, live and active culture yogurt, lots of green veggies, fresh water fish, Cornish hens, the feta cheese, apple cider, hazelnut bread, yams, celery, melons, light olive oil and royal jelly, pure organic honey. I must say the kind I chose was made from bees from out of the United States. The reason being is because of my developed allergies, so my heart said to do that, just because of the blossoms here I live around. I will be learning about more foods that are better for my health, and now that my stomach and chest and neck does not ache, I will be healthy inside and out. My mouth tastes good, no foul body smells, which the medications were doing to me, plus throwing my body chemistry so out of whack. When you are so used to being half asleep from allergy meds, and stomach meds, you just go with it. But when you feel awake and so full of energy, then you find out, you realize, you have been asleep in your life. I have faith that this ACV is the key to the cure. I do want to tell a quick story here about vinegar in my lifetime. When I was a little girl, we used it to pull out the curds from our soap in our hair when we washed it. Also, the vinegar was a great balance and put a lot of shine in your hair, kept it at the right Ph. I craved vinegar when I was little, and when my mother was not looking I would drink one or two capfuls of it in the bathtub. When she found out I was drinking it, she told me to stop because I would get ulcers. She hid the bottle lol. Oh, I found it, and took little sips now and then. Yes, I was worried I would get ulcers, but I craved it so much. I was raised up on a farm, and I got sick on dairy foods, which I did not know at that time I had a problem with milk. The only times I was not sick was when I was able to take sips of that vinegar. I look back at my life from then and now, and I can see what the vinegar was doing to me, and it was not about to give me an ulcer, it was keeping my body in balance. The other quick story about vinegar is, that it was a house hold remedy for bruises. As soon as you hit or knocked your arms or legs or head, you quickly put vinegar on that area, and you never, ever got a bruise. I did the same thing for my children as they grew up, immediately put the vinegar my children's legs and arms, when they fell down, or knocked their heads, and they never showed bruises either. I did not think much about it; it was just something I learned from my mother; Rest in peace, I love you mom, and I have my vinegar. And also, we did not have a lot of other medicines, so we used products from the pantry. It did not hurt like rubbing alcohol, or that red staining stuff. So those are my stories. I was taking the type of pain killer that contained no ibuprofen, but they did not work after a while, so I decided to go with the ibuprofen anyway, seemed I had no choice, either that or pain anyway. It was a catch 22 all the way around. Yes, I am "With The Mother" unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar, and I will stick with her. My quick prayer is this: goodbye drugs, scares about esophageal cancer or someone cutting out my body parts. Cheers to you Earth Clinic, you have saved my body, and you will save many others too. I am letting others know about this information too, for I want no one else to be acid reflux pain either. Hugs, and take that ACV with plenty of water, follow the directions. You will feel clean inside and out, with no pain, and have skin soft as a baby in no time at all."
