[YEA] 10/16/2006: Wayne from Umhlanga Rocks, Kwazulu Natal South Africa writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar has cured high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and gout. 2 tbl spoons in a glass of cold water every morning. This is truly God's gift to mankind. You will never need another pill, ever. By the way, the gout was caused by taking the pills prescribed by my doctor. (rosuvastatin 10 mg ). It's such a pleasure to be able to pass on such good news. God bless you all."

[YEA] 08/24/2006: N.I from Monrovia, CA writes: "I would definitely give APPLE CIDER VINEGAR a try in reducing blood pressure. Just by taking it a few days I do see a difference in my BP... although I don't know if I can totally attribute it to the vinegar. I have also been doing fresh garlic cloves, exercising (and losing weight), and doing an herbal formula I found on line. I figure, if you're going to try reducing your BP naturally, you might as well incorporate as many methods as possible. Also, with the APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, try to buy a brand that is unpasteurized like the _______ brand. Good luck and may God bless and guide anyone suffering from any ailment to a natural cure."

[YEA] 08/18/2006: Kimberly from Nova Scotia writes: "I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis on my hands and feet. It was caused from exposing my hands to spray nine without the use of rubber gloves. I have been reading so much about apple cider vinegar and decided to try it. Well, I was also diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and also came the slightly high blood pressure and cholesterol a tad high. I started to take the acv and low and behold, my next bloodwork was the best it has been in 5 yrs. If my next 2 check ups are like this last one I may go off my diabetic and blood pressure pills all together. WOW! Thank you GOD for having the acv at our disposal."

[YEA] 08/17/2006: Anita from Baguio City, Philippines writes: "Last year I experienced having high blood pressure almost everyday and I keep on taking medicines but still the BP is present so I tried the apple cider vinegar because I learned from my daughter about the effect and I surfed the internet and found that it is really amazing. For two weeks of drinking apple cider vinegar without honey or sugar because I like the taste, my BP is normal and my feeling is very good, and as if my stomach is cleaned from toxins. I will continue to drink apple cider vinegar to experience more the health effects and I am sharing it with my friends so that they will also try. More power to _______s Company."

[YEA] 06/16/2006: Cecilia from Strongsville, OH writes: "I have had chronic lower back pain for years and after taking AVC twice daily for a month I have noticed a drastic difference. I was restricted in activities and now I can do just about everything. While at the doctor's I also found out that my blood pressure dropped from 124/80 to 116/68. In January, 2006 I was diagnosed with acid reflux, which resulted with pills every day. Since taking the AVC I haven't had to take any medication for the acid reflux. I believe it has also helped with my allergies. This really is a miracle cure."

[YEA] 05/16/2006: Edmund from Baltimore, MD writes: "My last physical was in March, my blood pressure was 139/90. After finding this website. I thought I would give ACV a try. I stopped taking my HBP meds about a month and a half ago and have strictly been on ACV and garlic. I take 2tbls of ACV with a little spring water and I take 2 caps of garlic, which I buy loose and cap myself. I went to the nurse's office this morning and had my blood pressure checked it was 124/77. I was amazed to say the least. I try to watch what I eat, but I know It was the ACV and garlic because I had already modified my eating habits when my blood pressure was higher. I send this website to everyone I can think of. I have been preaching the wonders of ACV!!!"

Since we both are American Indians, I wanted something natural so I got it and tried it on him, myself and our 24 year old daughter who has asthma. We started this past Sunday and the next day I didn't feel bloated like usual so I told all at work and they just looked at me so I printed this out. Tuesday morning I had energy like never before so with the paper and they saw me and read this site they all went to get the ACV and about 20 customers were going. My husband's blood pressure is as of 1/31/06 150 over 80 and he claims that he feels like "jumping rope" so with fresh vege and lean meats and very low sodium in his diet with this is working and since Sunday i have lost 5 lbs and my hair is no longer falling out (waist length). It's so nice to comb my long hair and it isn't falling out anymore or see my hair on everything.Thank you all so much. Donna -- Geyatahi Cherokee Indian NC"

[YEA] 11/23/2005: Carlene from South Africa writes: "I have tried adding 1 tablespoon chased with water in the morning after breakfast and again in evening after meal to test if any difference in my high blood pressure. In less than one week, I noticed I was very dizzy and feeling rather weak. I took my blood pressure and it was 102/66... VERY LOW after years of 130s/90's WITH medication daily. I have stopped taking my blood pressure medication and checking my pressure 3 times daily to find it's consistently now 120's/70's. I am completely amazed. I'd been taking supplements (fish oil, garlic, E, flax) along with my medication for a long time and have kept that up. The only thing I can attribute this major change is the addition of apple cider vinegar!"

An older gentleman (70ish) that lives in my town told his secret (when asked) to looking great after looking not so great a few months earlier. This was what he had been doing for himself. He was on bp & cholesterol meds that were draining the life out of him. So he went the other route and looks great & more importantly feels. great. So I'm following his advice and also i'm 1 week smoke free."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA
1 NAY
[YEA] 05/30/2009: John from Trang, Thailand writes: "Hello EC,
Hypertension: John. [cattlab2000@yahoo.com]
Some points never addressed by doctors or pharmaceutical companies, for obvious reasons.
1.When taking BP measure, how much 'mmhg' to deduct for doctors 'white coat syndrome'?
2. How much to deduct, for the smaller stress of taking your own BP measure?
3. How much to deduct for circadian highs at - 6 a.m., 1200, 1700 p.m.?
4. How much to add due to side effects of drugs, such as, nervousness, fear, worry, anxiousness & stress?
5. How much to add for being 76 y.o. but deduct for being 52 kilos & exercise?
All doctors don't take any of this into account. It makes the difference between a good day or a stressful day.
My BP began with 2 vertigo experiences, a month apart. The second one, I went to a doctor, who frightened me with talk of strokes & heart attacks & sold me lots of drugs. From then on I was taking drugs for the last 4 years with all the side affects, plus 'inactive ingredients', which cause rebound, dependency, which is medi-speak for addiction. BP at the beginning was 160/99. Drugs got it down, around 140/80, but with odd peaks of 160/85. This last year they average around 135/83. No big deal but I continued to work on it with ECs help & recently touched 113/65. This with 10mg. a.m. Nifelat-R, a slow release Nifedipine & nothing at night. Side effects are, tremors, worry, anxiousness, stress which you have already guessed, pushes up the BP a little & you should have guessed also that 'side effects' are not - but are intentional. Paranoia? Think what you will.
My BP lows are due to one tablespoon [15mm] of Apple Cider Vinegar plus same water, plus teaspoon honey, plus 1/8 tsp. bi-carb soda [Pong Foo] 3 times a day. I like the way it froths & bubbles before I drink it. Tastes good too. Yum!
Earth Clinic, is so damn good if it was a woman, I'd marry her. John"
06/26/2009: Randy from Springfield, IL replies: "As an RN, I can't see how mixing baking soda and vinegar can be helpful. The "fizzing" mentioned is a result of the bicarbonate (baking soda) neutralizing the acetic acid in the vinegar. An acid (vinegar) plus a base (baking soda) result in a chemical reaction that results in a neutralization of both. If you're using this combination, then there is not enough of one to completely neutralize the other. A tablespoon of vinegar with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda would result in neturalizing the baking soda but not all of the acid.
If you're using this combination and your BP is lower, look elsewhere for the reason. These two ingredients shouldn't be mixed together."
07/13/2009: John from Trang, Thailand replies: "HYPERTENSION:Acceptable Range. What is it? Mine goes from 117/65 to 144/82
We can't take what the doctor says as too high or too low. The only range you see quoted, heads up, into the danger zone. It implies pressure can only go one way. Not true. Our system is not on idle all the time. We are working, worrying and relaxing, all of these, all the time. My heart and the whole system adjusts to the varying loads.
My lows happen 20 minutes after exercise, ACV, breakfast, flaxseed, magnesium, potassium, fish oil, and sitting and reading. The highs are usually after I get home from driving around, or are a bit angry. For example, I've just begun swimming again after decades of not doing it. After the first time I drove home during lots of after school traffic, waited 5 minutes and BP was 146/93. Sat and waited another 10 minutes and BP was 130/80.
A range doesn't only go up, it also goes down.
What are the dangers [?] if any of too low? What's too low? All I know is, a bit dizzy.
Doctors tell us, 95% of high BP is "essential', which only means they don't know what the cause is. Breathing, eating, sleeping are essential not high BP. The medical jargon is designed to scare us into buying more drugs that cause "rebound' [addiction]
Is there any time when high BP is necessary? When running 300 metres for example, or being attacked, should my pressure be sitting nicely at 120/70, regardless of what I do?
How about an activity related bar graph [not age related] plus a poison related graph directed at those with a reasonable diet. Bars would be green, orange, red with the double numbers underneath. A double bar for the double number.
If you have information on an acceptable range please tell EC or cattlab2010@gmail.com John."
07/13/2009: John from Trang, Thailand replies: "Two months and laughing.Think of all the precious things I had to give up, for normal BP. Buying drugs every month at the hospital. Waiting 3 hours to see the doctor. Waiting another hour to pay for and receive the drugs. Think I'll miss the following?
Amlodipine: oedema (feet and ankles, headache, palpitations, dizziness, tremor, nausea, muscle-, stomach- or, dyspepsia; blood disorders, breasts in men (gynecomastia), impotence,tachycardia , hyperglycemia, insomnia,erratic behavior, hepatitis, jaundice - in 1 in 10,000, depression,Verapamil: Oedema Ankle, Headache, constipation
Nifedipine: oedema, headache, palpitation, peripheral oedema, vasodilation,nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, chest pain, malaise, pain,angina pectoris, postural hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, constipation, diarrhoea, dry mouth, dyspepsia, vomiting,arthralgia [jointpain], myalgia [muscle pain],Insomnia, nervousness, paraesthesia, somnolence,[sleepy] tremour, vertigo, dyspnoea [hard to breathe], pruritus, rash, skin disorder, sweating, nocturia, [piss night lots] polyuria [kidney], abdomen enlargement, allergic reaction, photosensitivity reaction, hypotension, flatulence, gastrointestinal disorder, GGTP increased, purpura skin bruising, hypesthesia, urticaria, abnormal vision, ambyopia, urinary frequency increased, gum hyperplasia, agranulocytosis, gynaecomastia, erythromelalgia, exfoliative dermatitis anaphylactic reaction, hypovolaemia a distinct fall in blood pressure can occur as a result of vasodilation.
I won't go on with the others that I tried but Nifedipine-R was the least worst of them. Remember the doctors advertising from about 5000 years ago? "First do no harm" You see anything harmless about the above?
Of course I have also iven up all starch including rice and that means cakes biscuits too. And milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and all meat containing di-ethel stilbestrol, antibiotics, Ventolin [it's given to pigs to make the meat look redder] Coffee, coke, pepsi, fanta. Yup! You've guessed it. Vegys and fruit and about 30 grams of a very small sea fish. I figure my brain is stuffed already so what the hell harm can a little more mercury do?"

[NAY] 04/27/2009: Jaques from Brighton, England writes: "For around 12 months Ive been taking acv - 2 tablespoons with 1/4 teaspoon bicarb in a glass of water on an empty stomach before going to bed Ive also been oil pulling twice a day on empty stomach, 5 days a week for both.This has my GERD under control most of the time but my blood pressure which has been high for years, for which im on medication, remains high as does my cholestorol, this is hereditary and i think maybe in these cases, drugs may be the only answer. I don't smoke, drink moderately and my diet is quite good, i.e. i dont eat much fat........"

03/14/2009: Yaa from Manassas, Virginia writes: "Well after reading your comments I decided to try this. I visited the doctor about a week ago and was surprised that my reading was 167/80. I was floored. I know that I need to exercise, but I don't use heavy sodium. I am 47 (birthday tomorrow) and I would like to see 48. I went to the GNC and got the ACV with Mother and made the drink with 2tlbs of cider, 1/4 tsp of baking soda and 8 oz of water. Did not taste that bad. I did take my pressure prior to drinking it was 127/79. I think the spike previously was I took Sudafed for a headache. But still high. I will be tracking the results for the next two weeks and see what happens. Also I have made myself a promise to start some kind of exercise program. Wish me luck. Thanks for the site."
