[YEA]  04/06/2009: Mary (RN) from Landenberg, PA: "2 tsp ACV normalized blood pressue in 30 minutes. Recently began to notice a difference in left and right side blood pressure (left arm normal range 110/70 and right side elevated to 148/68. Onset fairly recent and only at night after dinner. Considered possiblility of high protein intake at evening meal but was unconvinced that was the cause though it may be reducing viscosity of blood and a contibuting factor. A few months ago changed my nutrition plan to improve pH using a significant alkalinizing product. Result appears to be that the increased alkalinity is reducing potassium. Addition of ACV has balance the blood pressure so it is equal on both the left and right arma and in the normal range between 100/70-120/80 Pulse 62 after 2 days of use (2 tsp only in evening. Never occurred to me that improving pH of saliva could result in decreased potassium levels but apparently it has in my situation and ACV restores imbalance and therfore blood pressure normalizes.

[YEA]  03/27/2009: Ali from Bursa, Turkey: "ACV for blood pressure: I have been having high blood pressure, for the first time in my life. I am 56 and have Type 2 diabetes. At the doctors, I had consistent high bp measurements for a few times, and the doctor decided to monitor it for a week and put me on medication depending on the results. My son told me about earthclinic and ACV and one night I decided to give it a shot. I measured my bp at 15.9/10.1. I took ACV (about two tbsp and some water) and measured it again 30 min later. Voila!!!! It was 12.2/8.5. I have since been on ACV and have my bp has measured normal, no more high bp. Thank you earthclinic and ACV!!!"

[QUESTION]  03/12/2009: Rebecca from Aurora, Illinois: "I started to take the ACV for my HBP and I want to know if anyone can tell me if they will react to other vitamin supplements I am taking. I am taking HBP vitamins, glucose health, Leutin, and Omega 3-heart health also a hair skin and nail supplement. Any feedback will be appreciated."

[QUESTION]  03/11/2009: DEE from Wichita Falls, TX: "No remedy have question. My BP is high even after resting. I take Coumadin, Diovan and Atenolol. What I need to know. Will the apple cider vinegar mess with the Coumadin or any of these meds? Thank you."

[QUESTION]  03/05/2009: Tish from Morrow, GA: "Wow... I heard ACV is good for bp. And looking at this site its does work! I have a question.. do I take ACV 3 times a day or twice? At every meal? Someone please tell me because I'm ready to get started. I do have high blood pressure and take medicine for it. I went to the doctor 3 days ago and my pressure was slightly high. Also, does anyone take bp medicine and drink the ACV? Do it matter what brand...like wal-mart?"

[YEA]  02/26/2009: Pamela from Atlanta, GA: "ACV - My blood pressure dropped 20 points in 2 hrs.

I was at work last Friday and suddenly started to feel light-headed. My co-worker suggested that I take my blood pressure using her unit. To our surprise my blood pressure read 168/99. Never have I had a reading that high. Another co-worker who lives close by went home and returned with a small plastic cup with ACV. I took two tablespoons approximately and drank it straight. No too bad! After one hour it went down to 144/88 and then one hour later it read 127/84. I was feeling alot better... so ACV WORKS.

Question?? Should I get the organic brand or will any brand work for weight loss? I am taking two tablespoons in the morning and is mixing ACV with water to drink during the day. Now I am trying to see if the weight loss thing will work. Will keep you posted."

[YEA]  02/25/2009: Ron from Chula Vista, Ca: "the apv does work i have borderline high blood pressure and have been doing it for 4 days and my blood pressure ranged from 150/90 and thats with atenonol and lisinopril and now i quit the atenonol and still take the small does of lisinopril and now my blood pressure is 133/67 to 125/75 thats wonderful . so the doctor can take there medicine and keep it. i hope soon i will be able to get of the lisinopril. by the way i am exercising and watching salt and watching what i eat but i know its the ACV.

02/21/2009: Ronald from Moses Lake, WA USA: "I went on line seeking natural cure for my high blood pressure and found your great site.I am a Vegetarian and a non smoker and drink very little. I have good cholesteral about total of 185 and my blood pressure was always good about 120/70 but was shocked a couple of months ago to see it at 240/180 and then I thought that it was for only that one time. Then I checked it out again last week and it had gone to 269/190 wow I am shocked and I don't feel bad. but a little scared of whagt may happen to me. My Mom had several strokes before she died from a stroke. So 4 days ago I went to the health store and bought some Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother and started taking 3 tab. of it three times a day I haven't taken my blood pressure since then but I will in a few days. I sure hope this works.I dont like Pills. Ron"

02/19/2009: Laura Oliver from Birmingham, Alabama: "ACV only helps if your HBP is a result of eating too much protein???? Say it aint so, but info I found on another website (pasted below) suggests this......

http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_bloodpr.htm

"Apple cider vinegar If the cause of your high blood pressure stems from eating too much protein with too little acid taken with it, two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water will drop the pressure from 20 to 40 points in half an hour. The protein in your diet creates alkalinity in your blood and causes it to be thicker. More pressure is required to push the thickened blood through the capillaries, so there may well be an increase in blood pressure. The acid in the vinegar thins the blood and therefore makes it easier for the heart to pump it through the body."

[YEA]  02/18/2009: Dwayne from Ontario, California: "I have read many blogs regarding apple cider vinegar and how it reduces blood pressure. Well I'm convinced that it works well on blood pressure. I don't care what other blogs say (mostly medical websites) regarding inconclusive evidence. Apple cider vinegar has worked better than the Norvasc I have been on for (4) years. My bp was averaging 140 - 160 over 91 - 97.

Since I began a regiment of simply taking a 16.9oz bottle of water and drinking about 1/3 of it. Then refilling the 1/3 with apple cider vinegar (From Stater Bros) not the distilled but the 64oz plastic jug. It has a picture of vegetables just above the size of the bottle. To end all of the hype regarding it being too acidic the Stater Bros brand states on the bottle "Reduce with water to 5% acidity." By the way experts that's less than a soda beverage. The light warming sensation you feel is similar to drinking wine.

By the way since I mix it in my water bottle (1/3) the acidity is reduced even less. If you stay with it for a week you will see results. I use to suffer from Hyperglycemia as well but the sugar content in the apple cider vinegar kept me from getting the shakes. I was even able to fast for three days with no issues. I drank 1/3 of the 16.9 water and apple cider vinegar buring the course of my day. Each time I drank 1/3 I followed up with drinking another 16.9oz of plain water.

I spread out my 1/3 as follows:
1/3 in the morning, 1/3 at lunch, and 1/3 prior to dinner. You will urinate a lot and your colon will be cleansed as well. I'm no expert in anyway but I know that it it worked for me. Don't worry I didn't forget to tell you my current bp. Well I am happy to report that it ranges from 114 over 77 to 106 over 64.

By the way it doesn't have the "mother" in it as well which some sites and vendors claim is the only kind that is effective. Just don't use the distilled white vinegar as it has been stripped of it's nutrients the same as white flour, white rice or white sugar. During my fast I substitued my breakfast, lunch and dinner with 16.9oz of water mixed with spirullina for three days. I lost 13 pounds and I walked 1 mile a day.

To all of you doubters that would say it was the exercise and walking that lowered my blood pressure it helped. However, I was doing 3 miles a day on the treadmill for 30 minutes and drinking water and the blood pressure drop was minimal. In addition, my cravings for sweets went away as the colon was cleaned and the candida died off during the fast. Lastly, but firstly I paryed to God during my fast for my own personal strength. Now if you want to tell Him it doesn't work then I leave that up to you. be blessed and stick with it and you will see results."

[QUESTION]  02/16/2009: Laura Oliver from Birmingham, AL: "Need to dilute ACV for HBP? Do I have to dilute the Apple Cider Vinegar in water? Can I just gulp down the 2TBS of apple cider vinegar and then chase it with 8oz water? It seems I read somewhere that to get the full benefit you have to dilute it. I think I read that full strength ACV is not effective. Any and all feedback appreciated."

02/04/2009: Dean from Los Angeles, CA: "I am 44 years old and have had High blood pressure for 9 years now. Last week I was at 140/110 and really felt bad. I have been on 3 different medications and am on 2 currently which do not seem to be working. I ran across this site today and I will be goibg to the store right after work to get some ACV, there seem to be so many positive responses I will give it a try and post back with my results. wish me luck!

Dean"

[NAY]  01/29/2009: Iuemhotep from Monroe, Louisiana: "I have been taking ACV for 3 or 4 weeks and my Blood Pressure is still 155-168/90-100 and is scary. I have headaches and I don't like that. I am Vegan and I exercise 3-4 time a week. No other health problems. Last week I had a Chelation therapy done and it have not help. I will do more.

Any other Remedy. I take Zinc, herb, potassium, Mag. I am tired of taking all this stuff thoughout the day. I think that I am going back to the Dr and start taking the BP medicine."

[YEA]  01/27/2009: Giovanna from San Jose, Ca: "I have had high blood pressure for the last 2 years since i had my baby. Well I recently checked my BP and it had soared to 188/98 Oh my goodness I freaked out. After reading these wonderful reviews I decided I have nothing to lose but HBP. So i ordered organic ACV over the internet had it delivered to me. and after 2 days of taking 2tablespoons of acv and water I checked my BP today and it was 111/84. Since i was in shock. I checked it again a half hour later and the exact same number came up again. I am in total disbelielf. I will continue to take ACV and checkmy BP again in a couple of days but i am so excited about this. Thanks so much for all these wonderful reviews. I am convinced that ACV does work. The numbers prove it!!!!!"
