APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

I stumbled upon your site because a friend of mine told me about taking ACV for his diabetes and I wanted to research the effects before I tried it. I too have diabetes and my A1C has gone from 7.5 to 9.1 in just two and a half years. I don't know why and my doctors don't either. I'm technically a 2 but the only thing that works for me is insulin (my pancreas is nearly shot). I'm so excited after reading the testimonials on this site until I am going to try it immediately. I will definitely let you know how it's working over the next two weeks. My average daily bs is about 220 right now. Thanks for the opportunity..."

10/14/2009: Arturo from San Jose, Ca replies: ""Chinese herbs show promise for diabetes prevention"

http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE59D31Y20091014

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A number of traditional Chinese herbs may help control blood sugar levels in people at high risk of diabetes, a new research review suggests.

The review, which examined 16 clinical trials of 15 different herbal formulations, found that the herbs generally helped lower blood sugar levels in people with "pre-diabetes" -- those with impaired blood-sugar control that can progress to full-blown type 2 diabetes.

When the researchers pooled data from eight of the studies, they found that adding an herbal remedy to lifestyle changes doubled the likelihood of participants' blood sugar levels returning to normal.

What's more, people using the remedies were two-thirds less likely to progress to diabetes during the studies, which ran for an average of nine months.

The findings appear in the Cochrane Library, which is published by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.

The results, say the researchers, are "quite promising." However, they also stress that the studies had shortcomings in their methods that make it hard to draw firm conclusions.

"There are a lot of herbal medicine products on the shelves, but few have been subjected to a rigorous trial," lead researcher Suzanne J. Grant, of the Center for Complementary Medicine Research at the University of Western Sydney, in Australia, told Reuters Health in an email.

Many of the trials her team examined, she explained, had a "high risk of bias" that can overestimate the effects of the treatments.

The gold standard for proving a treatment's efficacy is a clinical trial where participants are randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a placebo, with both the researchers and participants unaware of who is taking the real drug.

Grant's team found that those processes were often absent or not clearly detailed in the trials they reviewed.
So, she said, there is still a need for more rigorous trials before any herbal product can be recommended for diabetes prevention.

The studies included a total of 1,391 men and women with either impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose -- problems in blood-sugar control that lead to sugar levels that are elevated, but not high enough to diagnose diabetes.

The studies tested various Chinese herbal mixes traditionally used for blood-sugar control -- products like Jiangtang Bushen, Xiaoke huaya and Tang Kang yin.

In most trials, the products were added to lifestyle changes and tested against the effects of lifestyle changes alone -- though the specific changes were not detailed in most reports.

Grant suggested that if people with pre-diabetes do want to try an herbal product, they first consult their doctor and, ideally, take any herbs under a guidance of a health provider qualified in herbal medicine.

She pointed out that in traditional Chinese medicine, herbs are recommended based on individuals' unique situations, and not as a one-size-fits-all prescription.

As far as safety, the review found no serious side effects attributed to the herbal products. However, Grant noted, like all medicines, herbs have the potential for unexpected side effects or interactions with other drugs.

11/03/2009: Miraclemant from Bluefield, Wv replies: "Just found this website, and am thrilled!!

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes 10 years ago, and for the most part have been able to keep it under controll most of the time.

But this year my A1C spiked to 13.4, and my daily blood sugar readings are around 230's NOT GOOD!!
Now my A1C is about 8, still NOT GOOD!!

My doc wants to put me on insulin, and frankly 10 years ago I was in a coma for 3 months, lost 2/3rd of my lung function, and was clinically dead for 30 minutes.

so..... after finding this site, I definately will buy the ACV tomorrow, and start it right away. I will report back weekly on my progress, and keep praying that this is the answer I need.....

Thank you to all that have posted here, your posting have been a great BIG help.. THANK YOU!!!!"

So after reading all of the remedies on this site I told him about Apple Cider Vinegar and to add 2 tablespoons to 8 oz. of water but I also told him to add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. A lot of the remedies for other ailments included the baking soda but is it ok for diabetics? I guess I should have asked first before I gave him the remedy. This is the guy who has tasted his own pee to test his sugar..LOL! A little baking soda shouldn't hurt. Crossing fingers... but some advice would be helpful. Thanks to all for your time and remedies. This site is so addicting. Loveeee it! I'm off to tape banana peel to my wart. Cheers to ultimate health!"

11/17/2008: Marion from Riverside, Ca replies: "I realized 1 tablespoon of Baking Soda is too much. After reading "Earth Clinics" recommendations on how to take the ACV I just told him to try the Apple Cider Vinegar and water first to see what it does for his diabetes. He did complain of heart burn after drinking it. I told him that sometimes symptoms get worse before they get better. I will update and let you all know how it turns out for him.

My Mother-in-law also wants to try it for weight loss, back and joint pain and menopause symptoms. She's very excited to give it a try. She called her sister who suffers with Gout and told her about it too.

Natural remedies may work for some and not others but I think mind over matter has a lot to do with healing as well. So with the aid of home remedies and positive thinking you just might be cured of what ails you. Many Blessings too all! = )"

[YEA]  10/28/2008: Jennifer from Private, USA writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar was used to help aid diabetes. Apple Cider Vinegar does help a little in treating diabetes. It has helped to keep blood glucose levels in a normal range for someone who does not have diabetes, for example. However, it works best in this case in combination with the current medicine for type 2 diabetes. It was taken without taking medicine but the glucose levels were a little too high, however, again, in this case it works perfect in combination with current medicine for type 2 diabetes. It is taken once in the morning and once at night, each dosage the same amount. Two tablespoons of liquid apple cider vinegar with anywhere from half a cup to a full cup of water. Though it is now taken with crystal light/koolaid instead of water because it helps the flavor a lot. It does not taste bad at all. Hope this helps."

03/31/2009: MannaCandace from Phoenix, AZ replies: "READ what is in Crystal Light (Crystal Light is usually sweetened with aspartame) and how bad aspartame is for you."

04/02/2009: Shel from Eugene, OR replies: "I am amazed at how few people are aware of the existence and benefits of Stevia. I am a blood type O and don't like vinegar or anything pickled, etc., so I was leery of drinking ACV. I just add a few drops of lemon liquid Stevia and it makes a refreshing, entirely tolerable drink. Add to that, Stevia is good for you and very easy to become accustomed to. I'm a sugarholic and never could stand any artificial sweeteners (maybe because they're all poison??) but I adjusted to Stevia in no time. The flavored liquids are good for absolutely everything and the powder is wonderful for baking."

04/06/2009: Brian from Barrie, Ontario Canada replies: "Yes, aspartame is an ACCUMULATIVE toxin, if you need something sweet to take the edge of of the ACV, use an organic fruit juice or Stevia, Agava nectar etc."

I also started the pulling oil...that too is great. My mouth feels so clean all day. Just started it so I haven't really seen anything major, but I will report back. Thanks Earthclinic."

[SIDE EFFECTS]  08/25/2008: Dianna from Austin, TX writes: "i started to take the ACV in the morning and afternoon for my diabetes. and it really worked well (sometimes too well) to lower my blood sugar. also my head felt clearer and i just felt good. BUT - for some reason it gave me very bad gas and bloating. i tried various ways of taking it - with BS and without - before a meal, during, afterwards, to no avail - for the entire 2 weeks i tried it i had a very bloated tummy and gas so bad i could not sleep. also i was using it on my skin. during this time i developed a lot of huge pimples and noticed that i was getting a yellowish tint to my skin. so i stopped taking the ACV and it took several days for the gas and bloating to go away. now i am using the lime juice remedy without any gas or side effects. oh well, i really liked the idea of the ACV - but for some reason my body doesn't like it.
Dianna"

11/20/2008: Sharrieff from Atlanta, GA replies: "Diana from Austin, TX writes about the side effects of ACV. My comment is that most likely the issues that you brought up are the result of the ACV pushing toxins out of your body. When you stop taking the ACV, the toxins stop releasing, however they are still in your body. Perhaps you could take it three days a month until you detox your body."

12/31/2008: Dianna from Austin, Tx replies: "thanks for your feedback! i'm taking the ACV again - but this time VERY diluted - 1/3 a teaspoon in a liter of water 2 or 3 x a day. i know that is a lot of water - but at this strength i don't get the bloating and it is lowering my blood sugar and i feel that it is doing something - maybe i will be able to work up to a stronger dose eventually.

also, at this level it doesn't cause me teeth to be sensitive as it was before.

btw - do you think that 1/3 a teaspoon in a liter of water is still bad to be drinking for several hours a day on your teeth enamel? i can hardly taste the vinegar - but it seems to be helping in other ways."

In the evening I again take another metformin. Now.. Per each meal I take two tablspoons of ACV Braggs organic unfiltered ACV, with a 1/4 cup of very cold water. Do this for at least two weeks straight before you start testing your sugar two hours later.. it will perform the extraodinary. My sugar levels on the average are extremely high, but this has helped immensely in lowering my numbers. You must continue to be faithful in your diet and at least test your sugars early in the morning and or in the evening.. For testing of the ACV, make sure to test two hours later but give the vinegar a chance to get into your system and detoxify your body.. It will help lower your sugars but don't do an over kill on the eating and expect miracles. If your a diabetic, you must learn to eat right and take care of yourself.. Good luck. Sherri"

I take 2 TBS in 8 oz. of water 3x a day. (I am also on the prescription drug Metformin 500mg 2x a day for the diabetes). Anyway, I haven't seen any difference in my blood sugar readings nor in my BP readings. I have even switched to an organic ACV. Now in some ways, I am feeling better-more energetic and less nasal congestion, but why am I not seeing improvement for the diabetes or BP? It has me feeling truly sad.

I was unable to put my foot on the ground and apply any body weight too it.I tried everything;anti-inflammatories, etc. I even bought $400.00 pair of shoes. I was desperate. I started taking apple cider vinegar and within two days major relief. I am typeII diabetic. I can only assume I was very acidic and the vinegar countered that. I was taking vitamin c awhile ago but stopped for some reason. with the vinegar I also have more energy. I have not tested my sugars but feel 100% better."

After trying apple cider vinegar it was gone within 3 days. I have to stay on the acv,which is fine with me. With it I have not needed anti-inflammatories, and get better relief. I take 3-4 tbs every 3-4 hours when awake, for best results. Eventually I expect less will suffice. Everything is better, I have a great deal more energy, and I just feel better."

I have been of Medication for 3 years now and I am managing my Diabetes by eating a healthy diet and exercise. I am writing to commend you folks and tell you that Apple Cider Vinegar works wonders in terms of controlling my blood sugar levels, its amazing. As awful as it tastes the benefits are truly amazing. Start of with 1 teaspoon and record the results and take as many times as needed otherwise you may lower you blood sugar levels to low."

12/31/2008: Dianna from Austin, Tx replies: "i sure do agree that if you are diabetic that you need to start slowly with the ACV. when i first started using it i used 1 tablespoon and it lowered my blood sugar to 40 by the afternoon. i actually lowered my dose and even at 1 teaspoon it was lowering my blood sugar too much. i am on insulin and i suspect that if i could handle 1 tablespoon or 2 of ACV that i could actually manage to get off insulin. i had to lower my insulin dose - but at the 1 tablespoon or even 1 teaspoon dose - it gave me bad gas and bloating and i ended up stopping and using lime juice instead. the lime juice also has drastic blood sugar lowering properties - but since the ACV made me feel better everywhere except my bloating and gas - i am now using it again in much smaller doses - 1/3 teaspoon mixed with a liter of water 2 or 3 x a day. this is still lowering my blood sugar but does not make my teeth sensitive or give me gas. just be careful not to take too much ACV too fast!!! it is amazing stuff!!!"

Do I need to take more acv for the higher blood sugar levels? I weigh about 250, and I know I am over-weight, actually probably obesse. no exercise to speak of . Any advice would be very appericated. Thanks a lot Isn't this site just the "BOMB"?"

04/14/2009: Angela from Memphis, Tennessee replies: "Angela replies to Dave (nickelandsons@yahoo.com) from Friend, Ne. USA, yes Dave the blackstrap molasses is keeping your bloodsugar up. And you are killing yourself not exercising. Start our walking only 5-10 minutes for a week, then add 2-5 minutes each week until you gradually work up to 45 minutes to an hour a day. Then gradually start a VERY slow jog for a minute or two each day of your walking time slowly increasing that like you did the walking. You should also start some form of limbering exercise and some very light weight lifting likewise gradually increasing the difficulty of them. Get yourself a copy of Dr. Gabriel Cousens book, "There is a Cure for Diabetes" and go on the diet. You could also start taking chromium picolinate and a b complex supplement. This is your life you are risking not taking care of yourself. My husband weighed 275 and had astronomically high blood sugar levels. He is now 215 pounds and is in normal blood sugar ranges. He does all of the above along with some additional supplements you will learn about if you read the above book. Hope this helps."

04/15/2009: ROBERT HENRY from TEN MILE, TN replies: "It is not the sugar in Black Strap Molassas that causes problems for diabetics. It is the iron. The iron will mess your glucose up for weeks. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Been there, done that."

BUT - i have since found that i CAN use molasses if i use 1/2 a teaspoon mixed in a smoothie! i don't know why this is - but maybe it is because i have so many other ingredients in my smoothies that my body sees the molasses differently. before this i noticed that i could eat molasses in whole wheat cookies and so decided to try it in my smoothies. i am still amazed that i can eat it at all!"

04/15/2009: Dianna from Austin, Tx replies: "for dave:

135 is not high blood sugar - esp. if you have just eaten. like another poster wrote if you will just start walking it will go back to normal. this is a good time to nip it in the bud! start exercising NOW!"

I found your site and started taking ACV hoping for relief from arthritis pain (2 tbs 3x a day mixed with apple juice). The first 3 days were rough, I felt pretty bad. Then I started feeling better. Not only has ACV helped ease the arthritis pain, but it has also lowered my blood pressure and my blood sugar levels have also dropped! My average was 135 and it is now 108! I've even lost some weight! I feel like I have a new found energy and my sleep patterns have improved! I don't have food cravings anymore and my complexion looks great too. I can't say enough about how ACV has helped me. I have told several of my friends about this site. They too are having success with many of the remedies posted here. May I also say that I started Black Strap Molasses at the same time (1 tbs once a day with 5 oz milk). My period was very heavy with lots of large clots and lasted for almost 2 weeks. I was always weak and light-headed during my period. I am happy to report that my last period was only 7 days! The first 3 days were still heavy but it tapered off to normal. The light-headed feeling is gone too. I am so glad I found this website. I feel like I am becoming the person I used to be when I was younger and I am very happy with the changes."

To cut a long story short I started taking ACV in water with every carb loaded meal, the result has been stunning, I dont take tablets any more. On the same hand I dont go crasy with food, I always watch the GI,GL and never miss the ACV no matter whare I go.

After my doctor had me wear a blood pressure device for 24 hours I was told my blood pressure was high and he put me on (Micardis?). 2 months later on Superbowl Sunday, Feb. 5-06 I had a stroke. I wish I could give you numbers and readings but I don't have them. 14 years ago I was told I was a diabetic and needed to control it with diet which I never really did. Anyway after the stroke my doctor had me go get my blood tested for almost everything sugarwise. He told me of bad numbers on most everything. Then a friend told me about Apple Cider Vinegar and although it's not the tastiest thing I started taking a drink of Heinz ACV every morning. That started about 6 months ago. On my last Dr. appointment going over another blood sugar test he wanted to know how much I was exercising because my blood pressure was good and so were all my sugar numbers plus I'm almost under 200 pounds for the first time in ??? I'm at 203 with a high of 232 and haven't changed a thing in my lifestyle. I haven't exercised on a regular basis since giving up softball at the age of 46 four years ago. ACV has made a believer of me. Now if I could just pour it on my head and regrow my hair."

I had this idea several months ago and, although not on a daily basis, my husband now has fine hairs growing on top which now need to be cut with the rest of his hair. A new hairline is even visible! Every night before bed he uses unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV on a cotton ball and rubs it on top. Recently he has started drinking two tsp with organic lemonade twice daily and been eating more alkaline foods and there has been an increase in the rate of growth and in the thickness of the hairs. We are now looking into natural home remedies for blocking DHT (excess DHT has been linked to hair loss) and have found that green tea, pumpkin seed oil, emu oil, nettles, pygeum, and saw palmetto are among some of the natural DHT blockers; however, we have yet to try these."

[YEA]  01/12/2006: Sheila from Norwalk, OH writes: "I've been taking 2 tablespoons of organic vinegar in some water 2 times a day for a month and my fbs has been no higher than 111 for weeks now. I can't wait to have my lab work done to see what my A1C is! I keep looking at the numbers and I wonder if my glucose monitor is not working right. I'm a true believer. People think I am crazy when I talk about it though."

[YEA]  Linda from Richardson, Texas writes: "I have been using apple cider vinegar for about a year. I have diabetes and anyone who understands diabetes knows that the longer you have diabetes the worse your digestion becomes. I have had it for 26 years and am insulin dependent and "had" terrible digestion problems, or little to no digestion. Now I drink apple cider vinegar everyday, 3 x per day 2 tablespoons in a glass of water. It has worked miracles for me and my insulin dependent. husband. Apple cider vinegar has cured my husbands IBS and eczema also. I drink it with every meal and then some. This is truly a miracle cure!!! Salute!!!"
