APPLE CIDER VINEGAR READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  10/10/2007: Roswita from Seminole, Fl writes: "I strongly urge you to buy only the Organic, raw, unfiltered ACV, without preservatives. I am a 62 year old woman who suffers from arthritis and acid reflux. Every morning I mix 1 tbls ACV with 1 tbls raw honey in a 16 oz glass of lukewarm filtered water. I do the same thing at night time. Only I mix it in 6 to 8 oz water. Otherwise I would be up all night. My arthritis pain has gone away and I no longer suffer from acid reflux."

[YEA]  10/01/2007: Matt from London, UK writes: "I've had serious GERD for 8 years. When the meds stopped working I consulted a specialist and bit the bullet and underwent a Lap. Nissen Fundoplication. 12 months after the op. (after a year indigestion free!) the symptoms returned and even worse...the meds (every type I tried!) gave no relief at all. Well I just discovered your incredible site and like so....SO many other testimonials on ACV, I AM ASTOUNDED HOW EFFECTIVE THIS REMEDY IS! From the first gulp I could feel it working. I've just had my 1st day waking up without a burning gullet and mucus filled throat, and even better, the constant throat clearing is gone completely :) All within 1 day of discovering this incredible, yet simple and cheap remedy. ..still astounding that professionals and doctors in the OZ & UK don't seem to know about it? You guys are fantastic - keep up the popularity and spread the word!!"

[YEA]  09/13/2007: Eileen from Fleet, Hampshire, United Kingdom writes: "I have only been suffering with acid reflux condition a few months. Having come across this site I read peoples' entries with great interest - here were folk who had known/knew how it felt. Over the counter indigestion cures no longer seemed to be working. I have bought the apple cider vinegar, taken a small amount after each meal and miraculously the whole bad indigestion cycle has completely vanished! Now I enjoy a good night's sleep as I used to. Thank you everyone for your helpful insight into a condition that was really beginning to effect my general well-being. All this while, the cure for me was sitting on the shelves of my local supermarket! I realise it may not work for everyone but I am grateful to you all for letting me know about it. Best wishes and good health to all."

[YEA]  09/07/2007: Michael from Angeles City, Phillipines writes: "hi there, yes i do have a acid reflux, and i try the apple cider vinegar for three consecutive days and its really works for me, thanks you earthclinic, michael garcia, philippine"

[YEA]  09/03/2007: Deborah from Macomb, MI writes: "I wrote a note yesterday regarding my acid reflux and the desperate point that I've come to because the meds I'm taking (third one now) are not helping. I immediately went and drank the ACV and water only (no baking soda) and I couldn't believe for the first time in weeks, I didn't have that constant burning feeling in my throat. This morning I work up and read more on the site and now I want to try the baking soda also."

[YEA]  09/03/2007: Paige from Omaha, NE writes: "try this:

*4 inch piece of ginger root, unpeeled and scrubbed.
*1 cup of filtered, organic, apple cider vinegar.
*3/4 cup of honey
*2 quarts of filtered water.
Blend well!!

I have been drinking 1 cup in morning and 1 in afternoon. Been on nexium for 7 weeks with no complete relief. Tried this 4 days ago and been able to eat anything but I would still advise to watch what you eat. Stay away from the trigger foods and drinks.""

[YEA]  09/01/2007: Judi from Salem, OH writes: "I've been suffering terribly from acid reflux. Nothing I tried helped at all. I was getting terrible panic attacks along with it because it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack. I found this website and tried I TB of ACV in a small glass of ice water and had almost instant relief. It has now been almost a full day later and the reflux has yet to come back. It is truly amazing. This will now be a part of my daily regime."

[YEA]  08/23/2007: Camille from Salem, Oregon writes: "I have taken myself off of prilosec otc. I have just started drinking apple cider vinegar. Also tasking a gel tab from the health food store. It is citrus peel. I have no problem drinking acv in just warm water. Warm drinks seem to open up my esophagus more.I cannot drink caffiene anylonger. I would like to use this site more"

A friend of mine told me about ACV a few nights ago. I just got some non-organic Heinz (didn't know about the organic benefits) and took a tablespoon of it ight during a pretty bad episode. I wept because within minutes, all my symptoms subsided and I actually could lay down and sleep. This is UNBELIEVABLE!!! This morning, I woke up and my voice was smooth, I didn't have to clear my throat all day. I had another teaspoon full this morning and I think it actually gave me energy. ? I ate two meals so far with no nausea. I can't believe it! I am going by Wild Oats this evening to get Organic ACV. I am so excited to see if it continues working."

[YEA]  08/12/2007: Helen from Windsor, Canada writes: "What an amazing site! I love all the great infomation, and tips and knowing I am not the only one with my problem. I have tried the acv remedy for my LPR and my muscus in my throat is gone, swallowing easier and no more coughing. Is my bad breath(halitosis) related somehow to my LPR? If so, what could I do for the condition."

[YEA]  08/10/2007: Joe from Beaumont, California writes: "Wow! I do not believe it! Had a double by-pass in 2004 and have been on blood pressure medication and medication for acid reflux for years. After I had some side effects from both medications decided to try ACV and garlic pills. Although my blood pressure without medication was only 135/85 my doctor wanted it lower than that because of health history.There was no doubt in my mind that ACV and garlic would not work! Well, dummy me! It worked and worked big time! I have waited 2 months to post my story because I wanted to be sure. Had appts with two of my doctors yesterday and my blood pressure wast 110/72 and later that day 106/70. The big bonus for me was my acid reflux disappeared. I take 2 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water and a 6,000mg pill of garlic every morning.
Try it! You have nothing to lose. It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.I also should add that I monitored my blood pressure several times daily to make sure it was working. Good luck"

[YEA]  08/04/2007: Ginnie from Jeffersonville, Indiana writes: "I was having problems with acid reflux, migraines, and yeast infections. For over a year now I have been taking 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar right before bed and I have not had problems since. The doctor was going to put me on medicine for my acid reflux, and since I started taking the acv, the medication is not needed."

[YEA]  07/31/2007: Sandy from Sevierville, TN writes: "Thank you so much for your advice about ACV. I have been taking ACV with digestive enzymes and have hade IMMEDIATE and CONSISTENT relief from acid reflux. My regular doctor gave me Protonix, and the GI doctor gave me Zegerid. He did not listen when I said I wanted to make lifestyle changes and not take meds. He scoffed at ACV and could not believe something acidic could help with stomach acid. After lots of research, I have found the side effects and long term damage of acid pump inhibitor drugs are not the first choice. The ACV and digestive enzymes work GREAT! For intense acid, Dr. Andrew Weil recommends DGL, and I have found a product called VAXA helps reduce the acid and restore pH levels. I take a digestive enzyme and 2 tablesppons of ACV with juice before each meal. Be sure to get raw ACV with the "Mother" or its natural enzymes. I take the ACV pills when traveling. I have told family and friends of this wonderful and inexpensive relief. Thanks again for being there afer hours of online research and providing hope."

[YEA]  07/17/2007: Naame from Maryland writes: "ACV, is great, no more acid reflux and bloating. I take a sip of it in the morning and clears all mucus. I haven't lost weight yet on it but hope to try 1/2 cup with water and honey."

[YEA]  07/09/2007: Jean from Los Angeles, CA writes: "Hooray for EarthClinic! I had a runny nose, dry, hacking cough, clearing my throat continually which caused me to lose my voice. Finally diagnosed as acid reflux and given many nose sprays and pills which helped. Did not want to be on meds so when I found your site I was thrilled. YES !!! ACV works. Just a tbsp in 1/2 glass of water before breakfast. If mucous reappears, I take 3 tmes a day before meals. No pills, no cough, no runny nose. Thank God for you and the people's voice on the Internet. P.S. Don't understand why one would take baking soda with ACV. Seems as if that would cancel out the goodness.??"

[YEA]  06/28/2007: Karen from Buena Park, California writes: "Why do you need more acid when you seem to be suffering from acid reflux? Because you are not producing enough acid to digest your food. So your system goes into overload and your body produces too much acid, hence the acid relux and indigestion. Finding the right balance to digest your food and suffer no more from the reflux is as easy as throwing away the mylanta, maalox, pepcid and others. Taking these only reduces the acid you need to digest food and the vicious cyle starts all over again... producing too much acid. ACV before or in the middle of a meal will create the needed balance or betaine hydrocholoride pills from a health food store will also work. After 2-3 days you be in pain no more, will eat what you want and you will sleep great. More people over 40 do not produce enough stomach acid. For 3 years I have been pain free because of the betaine hydrochloride or AVC if I am out of pills. They work!"

[YEA]  06/23/2007: Coleen from Buffalo, Missouri writes: "I don't usually write anything back but after taking the apple cider vinegar I felt I had to. I have had very very very bad acid reflux that has gotten worse over the yrs. to the point that it seems any food as soon as it is in my mouth I start with the burning burning burning. Belching....my husband says I do this all night long. I could not sleep flat any longer for I would just throw up in the middle of the night. Not to mention I have not had much sleep for I could NOT eat 4-5 hrs before going to bed! I had trouble swollowing, and have a constant cough, that I have been told could be cancer of the asophegus? When I heard that... I started taking the acv, that very night I slept "normal" and the next morning I had a good bm (which is another problem) Within a few days all my symptoms were gone and it has cured several other ailments as well not to mention loosing weight! I hate the stuff (taste) but you can't ignore the miracle it is. I just think more people should be talking about this simple remedy for sooo many things, what else could it do? I think the list goes on and on. ps. My ph level used to say "consult a physician" to now being normal. I have more energy too!"

[YEA]  06/19/2007: Melissa from Wilmette, IL writes: "I developed GERD after an ulcer which the doctor suspected was caused by excessive use of ibuprofen. Prilosec worked wonders at first, but gradually I developed size effects such as lower GI problems and burping. So I tried' ACV. At first it seemed to get worse, but gradually it got better and disappeared. I also made some dietary changes such as avoiding processed foods and adding high quality protein and omega 3 fatty acids. I weaned myself off the ACV and was off it for awhile, but a vacation where I consumed a lot of triggers brought it back. Seems like I can use ACV only when needed and just be careful when I'm not using it."

[YEA]  06/14/2007: Sid from Queens, NY writes: "ACV worked form me. I provides instant relief from heartburn. I had reflux for over a year. I had an endoscopy done a year and a half ago revealing a scared esophogus. I was put on the purple pill for 3 months. When I cam of the pill, wow what rebound. Eventually I read about ACV and tried it. IT DID WORK! Why are there not clinical trial being done on this? There is enough anecdotal evidence this works. I think the reason there are no clinical trials being done is that they are expensive and no one will make any money if ACV if scientifically proven to work."

[YEA]  06/11/2007: Paul from Brisbane, Australia writes: "I was woken at 3am with very bad acid reflux, found this website and thought I'd try ACV as a cure. It worked, a little hard to take as it went down - maybe dilute next time - but really did make the burning pain go away."

[NAY]  06/08/2007: Daniella from Palm Springs, CA writes: "I read that many people have used ACV for their acid reflex, but in my case I seem to get the worst acid after I eat vinegar or any acidic food. Right now I have a bad acid burn.I'm tired of all the digestive enzymes I buy --useless. Any help for my problem is appreciated. Thanks."

[YEA]  05/22/2007: Kishor from Melbourne, Australia writes: "I'had suffered with acid reflux last year about this time. I had used all types of antacids and lastly the "purple pill". They didn't work out for me. I was searching for the remedy and came across this website. I have tried apple cider vinegar for ten days and my acid reflux symptoms were gone. But again this April, i felt like acid reflux symptoms and used ACV for around two weeks. Now i feel relieved from reflux symptoms. I would strongly recommend the use of apple cider vinegar before trying any other pills. Lately, i have been skipping meals due to work load. this could also be one of the reasons of acid reflux."

[YEA]  05/17/2007: Rechell from Montgomery, Alabama writes: "I have tried two tbls of ACV, with an half tbls of cayenne pepper in a half of cup of hot natural spring water every night before bed for my Acid reflux and this remedy works wonderful. i have tried other over the counters prescriptions and my Doctors way and nothing seems to calm it down until now. At first my taste buds had to get use to it, it does gives you an tingling feeling on your tongue and down your throat, but the results is worth it."
