APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[NAY]  12/14/2008: Brock from Brentwood, California writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar did not help my canker sore. I used a q-tip filled with ACV and it burned alot and had no relief within the next 24 hours."

[YEA]  11/08/2008: Shirley from Riverside, CA writes: "After reading about canker sores and some home remedies on this site, I decided to try them. All today, I tried first Hydrogen Peroxide, that didn't work, then I put salt on it and OMG it hurt sooooo bad and that didn't work. A few hours later, I couldn't take the pain anymore, so I decided to try apple cider vinegar. I put some on a Q-tip and it hurt soooooo bad, but a few minutes later the pain was basically gone. I went from not being able to talk to eating dinner within a matter of an hour. I am so amazed! I did it couple more times today and it did not hurt that much second time around. I am just amazed as how fast it worked."

[NAY]  10/08/2008: Nick from Quebec, QC, Canada writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar: I used this product for my canker sores but it only got worse. Not much worse, but still. But now I finally understand why it doesn't work on some people or even makes it worse...Most canker sores are caused by a specific type of bacteria while this vinegar can kill it and speeds healing. But in less common cases, canker sores are caused by acidity. In this case the vinegar, which is acid, worsens the case. If your symptom worsens, rinse mouth regularly with warm salt water to counter the acid."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  07/24/2008: Dan from Dallas, TX writes: "I swear as I was reading this info I ran to the kitchen cabinet and threw "acv"in my mouth. I counted about 30 seconds and yes after the sting, (which by the way is not even close to as painful as the BS I tried before), I felt some relief. After suffering with this for as long as I can remember, I can't believe it took me this long to Google it. I just hope it dose cure it like most of you say."

[NAY]  07/19/2008: Mary from Volcano, HI writes: "I tried acv on 3 small canker sores which weren't too painful but bothered me most in the evening. The next morning I got up and they were all bigger and hurt like crazy all day. The acv definately made them worse."

[YEA]  07/08/2008: Amanda from Granville, Ohio writes: "I had a canker sore on the roof of my mouth for about three days. It was so bad that I didn't eat for those three days, and it throbbed to the point where I couldn't sleep that well! I tried orajel to numb the pain but that only worked for about 3 minutes or so. I also tried rinsing with warm salt water, which also was to no avail. After stumbling upon this site and learning that Apple Cider Vinegar may help, I tried it and after a brief stinging period the pain went away almost completely. I was amazed. This was last night, and this morning when I woke up the canker was almost completely gone."

[YEA]  06/23/2008: Susan from Atlanta, Georgia writes: "I had the absolute worst canker sore in my mouth. I was on vacation and had a horrible time because I was so miserable. When I got home, I read about different remedies online and found the one about Apple Cider Vinegar. I cannot believe that it worked in one day!!! I dabbed it on before going to bed (it stings at first), but I had immediate results. Not only did it allow me to sleep but it pretty much cleared up by the next morning! I will use it from now on and stop wasting my money on the stuff that does not work from the drug store. Thank you!"

[YEA]  06/11/2008: Jim from Menomonee Falls, WI writes: "I was skeptical at first as they tell you to avoid citrus when you have a canker sore so the apple in the vinegar is what I questioned but none the less when your in pain you try anything. It worked to my surprise! Vinegar has germ killing effect so that is probably why it works so well."

[YEA]  05/17/2008: James Eddy from Morgantown, West Virginia writes: "Mouth Ulcers: Apple Cider Vinegar was incredible in sour taste and burning at first but, pain completely subsided. Don't know why but my tongue seemed to turn white at first, lol The taste is less upsetting with each successive use. And yes... I got mine from smokeless tobacco. Guess my mouth can't handle it any more. (and that's a good thing)"

[NAY]  10/26/2007: Karen from Bozeman, USA writes: "Have read with interest the articles on ACV and decided to try it. 3 days later and I have a mouth full of canker sores. Having good success healing them with alum, the pickling spice. No pain w/ application,but what did I do wrong? I'd like to continue with ACV as it has so many health benefits but can't live with mouth sores. Now what?"

[YEA]  10/18/2007: Will from Shelton, WA writes: "Another YES for apple cider vinegar. It cured my canker sore in one day. I put unpasteurized ACV in an eye dropper and applied it directly to the sore on my inner lip frequently throughout the day. Whatever microbe that causes cankers does not seem to be able to live in the presence of ACV. I think the trick is not to go to long between applications. To bad they don't teach this to the drug pushers."

[YEA]  09/01/2007: Stacy from Akron, Ohio writes: "ACV cured my sons canker sore. My son had a canker sore and it hurt him daily as he tried to chew food. He didn't even want me to look at it because it hurt him so much. I came to your site to see what remedies were suggested. ACV was at the top of the list and since we have the Bragg brad here at home, i used a spray bottle once i read the reviews. He didn't like the sour taste, but the next day he had RELIEF. I sprayed twice the following day when he rose in the morning and before bed at night. Within 4 days it was gone and not returned. I spray ACV in his mouth once a week to keep the canker sores away. IT REALLY WORKS!!!! He wanted me to write so that other kids could get help. Thank you earth clinic"

[YEA]  07/24/2007: Natalie from Savannah, Georgia writes: "I just want to say that I had 4 canker sores in my mouth due to having a wisdom tooth extracted. I was in so much pain and the Zilactin-B I used made the problem even worse. I saw this website and went right out and bought the ACV. I used it twice within an hour and now it doesn't hurt and I only have one sore left!"

[YEA]  07/23/2007: Josh from chicago, illinois writes: "This website is great! I went to google looking for a cure to my nonstop reoccurring canker sores and i found this site that recommended Apple Cider Vinegar so i went out and bought it and after a few treatments of the q-tip they were cured. I just want to say thanks again for finally giving me a way to cure my canker sores. I will be recommending this site to everyone"

[YEA]  06/16/2007: Fritz from Downers Grove, Illinois writes: "First, I want to say that ACV worked like a charm on my recurrent mouth cankers, and using a toothpaste w/out SLS keeps most from recurring. Second, I want to address Ted in Mt. Horeb, Wisc and his Nay vote on ACV: I too had what Ted talks about, but it turned out to be a tumor, which eventually turned cancerous. He may want to keep an eye on that mouth sore."

[YEA]  06/13/2007: Tessa from lake havasu, arizona writes: "i tried the apple cider vinegar thing and VWALLA!! worked like a flippin charm. no more pain and sores..i totally recommend this shizz."

[YEA]  06/02/2007: Angie from colorado springs, co writes: "I am so glad I found this site! I had a terrible canker sore on the side of my tongue that kept hitting my molars, could barely eat or talk it hurt. I put Bragg's apple cider vinegar on a qtip and held it on the sore for about 1 minute and then repeated twice and then again before bed. I did this 2 days in a row and it is now gone. I felt immediate relief and I could see it healing right away - it only took 2 days to heal and it has taken over a week before. Thanks for this article!"

[YEA]  03/31/2007: Todd from Long Beach, CA writes: "I've been suffering from a tough and very painful sore for over a week. It made me irritable because I couldn't eat, sleep, talk or even smile. I tried Hydrogen Peroxide, Zilactin-B (made it worst to me), wet tea bag to no avail. What worked? Holding my head to let a tablespoon of ACV sit on the sore for about 30 seconds, spit then repeat. The healing began immediately. It is amazing and I'm a happy person again!"

[YEA]  03/10/2007: Devon from Sandy, UT writes: "I'm a big believer! I couldn't sleep one night because the pain of the canker sore was just too much! So...I got online and sure enough found another reason why apple cider vinegar is so awesome! I used a Q-tip to dab some of the ACV onto the sore spot and then went back to bed. By morning...VIOLA! The pain was gone. I could see that the sore was still there but that the healing process had already begun. AWESOME! I will be recommending this site to everyone! Thanks EARTHCLINIC!"

[YEA]  01/26/2007: Richard from St Louis, MO writes: "I used the cider vinegar, and it worked! It tasted and burned really bad, but literally took 2 seconds to stop hurting! .....P.S. Don't listen to any nays, it works great! to answer that one dude's question, i don't smoke anything."

[YEA]  01/22/2007: Maria from Bristol, England writes: "I tried ACV several times on the ulcers I get very often in my mouth and it never fails. It is amazing. However, I would like to know where I can find the raw organic ACV in the UK. Does anyone know?"
