[YEA] 04/03/2007: Mona Lisa from Merkel, Texas writes: "I just wanted to send out my testimonial for ACV I had horrible acid reflux due to fibromyalgia as did my sister and mom. Well I take 1 tablespoon a day with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and my acid reflux has been under control. I have had a few days that I had to take an extra dose because of eating later than I should have or eating too much and it calmed my acid reflux right down. I can sleep at night again...YEA! My mom and sister also started taking it and theirs is gone as well. If you have tried every medicine like I have and nothing works try this it WILL WORK!"

[YEA] 04/02/2007: Sunny from FT. Lauderdale, USA writes: "I have started using ACV and Baking soda to cure my Reflux which is about 7 years old happened because of too many ciggaretes, empty stomach while working crazy hrs. I am 31 now. For first few years i was on Aciphex 20 mg. Now that does not work so got on nexium, Nexium 40 mg, prevacid 30 mg every thing works right now. But i just do not feel right with energy level and funny feeling in legs (kinda pain). I am ready to get off alopathic medicines.
First day i took Just ACV without baking soda it worked may be because of Aciphex left in my body from last day but next day reflux was back. Than i got baking soda and started 8 OZ water, 2 tbs ACV and 1/4 BS, 1 hr before food. I started Acidophyllus 1 billion bateria count(From GNC store). But 1 before meal does not work. And bad reflux back again.
Now its 5 continous days using ACV i am going to stop using it for 2 days and live simply on Acidophyllis 2 tabs before each meal. 6 a day. At least i will find out if ACV effecting me negatively.
I feel better in my legs and energy level is good too. I am not yet ready to give up on this formula yet. I am going to do 3 full weeks and see what happens. May be it takes 3 weeks. I am also using Metazyme tabs from made from plants i got from whole food market. Its works too. I smoke too. I am cutting down and i am at 2 a day. I might quit as well by the end of 3 weeks. I will keep posting."

[YEA] 02/27/2007: Tammy from Breesport, USA writes: "AVC WORKS FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN ON NEXIUM FOR 3 YEARS STARTED TAKING AVC AND BAKING SODA AND NO MORE ACID REFLUX. IT IS A DIRTY ROTTEN SHAME THAT SO MANY DOCTORS ARE PERSCRIBING SNYTHETIC DRUGS TO PATIENTS KNOWING THAT THE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THESE DRUGS ARE FAR WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM THEY ARE TRING TO COVER UP, NOT CURE .I WILL BE USING MORE HOME REMEDIES."

[YEA] 02/12/2007: Ann from Montville, NJ writes: "I was having severe acid reflux, doctor prescribed acihpex, but my insurance would not cover it. In the meantime, I did research online and found this site. It is amazing! I am not usually a believer in home remedies but I gave the acv and baking soda a try and it worked great. I took 2T of avc with 1/4t. baking soda in a half a glass of water after every meal and before bed. I did this for a week and the acid reflux is gone. I continue to take one glass before bed and am feeling wonderful. Thank you so much for this site. I am going to try the remedy for anxiety next."

[YEA] 02/10/2007: Jane from Odessa, TX writes: "I have struggled with GERD, Overweight, and fatigue for several years. After the medical discovery that Prilosec, Nexium and other medications as these can stop calcium from being absorbed in your bones, I was a little scared. So I decided to do some web surfing for natural cures.. And YOU WERE HERE! Over a week ago I started the ACV and HOT water with baking soda mixture. The first three days I lost 5 pounds and my reflux problem was gone. It tried to come back later that first week, so I increased my intake of AVC to a more powerful solution.
1/2 cup of ACV
1/2 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda ( 1 x day)
Today I weighed again ad I have lost 9 lbs! I am so happy! Plus my blood pressure is becoming more stable. The GERD is gone. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this website! God bless you guys!"

[YEA] 02/09/2007: Trish from Vancouver, Canada writes: "First of all, huge thanks for your amazing website - I feel as though I have unexpectedly fallen upon gold. I have experienced chronic Acid reflux symptoms for several months. Not wanting to take the prescribed medication I have been chewing 2 DGL before meals, which somewhat alleviated the distress, but not a lot. Two days ago I read about Ted's ACV remedy and tried 2 Tablespoons of Natural Cider Vinegar and 1/2 Teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water, as recommended. INSTANT RELIEF. It seems like a miracle. I can even bend over without feeling the usual burning pain in my chest. My MD is eager to pass on the information about this and the website to her other patients. (PS: I understand that I should take a break from the ACV after 3 days. But how long before I restart on it?) Thanks to Ted and all the wonderful people who make Earth Clinic possible. Trish"

[YEA] 02/04/2007: Susan writes: "Another testimonial in praise and thanks for Ted's ACV/baking soda remedy. I had been using ACV in water for months just as a general tonic, but still had reflux in the form of hunger pangs after eating, which induced a cough. It took 2 weeks but Ted's remedy did it! Thank you for your time and dedication to educating us on the wonders of the body -- if we understand its complexity and work with it rather than just shooting down symptoms, it self-corrects. You are a blessing."

[YEA] 02/01/2007: Loretta from Erie, PA writes: "I have been taking the AVC/Baking Soda for acid reflux 3 times a day but not sure to take it an hour before each meal, during the meal or after. My reflux seems to bother me the most about 2 hours after my dinner, which I usually eat around 5:30. Thank you for your help - glad I found this cure. Only been on it 3 days but what a difference. Also, can you ever go off it or is it something you have to do every day?"

[YEA] 01/29/2007: Chris from Mission, Kansas writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda Cured my terrible GERD!! After 5 Trips to the Emergency Room thinking I was Having a Heart attack and more to doctors I was told I had GERD-Acid Reflux. This was confirmed with an Endoscopy. My life became out of control with fear and chest pressure. I was given Nexium 40mg once a day and xanax for the fear(panic). These two drugs only slightly helped. 3 weeks of pain and missing work. I came across this site and was thinking it was not worth trying or the doctors would of said something about this remedy (apple cider vinegar). WRONG!!

[YEA] 12/28/2006: Robert from Santa Barbara, CA writes: "I have tried just about everything! I went for an endoscopy and the gastroenterologist did not see much evidence of acid reflux. But he said I probably had it since my stomach was inflamed. He diagnosed me with gastritis. I have not been able to eat without severe nausea for the last 6 months! The strange thing is that I never get a burning sensation. I bought some PH strips and my urine PH was very acidic along with my saliva. I understand it is normal to have a slightly urine PH but mine was always very acidic. I ate lots of steamed vegetables, am a vegetarian, never drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes so I don't think my diet had anything to do with it. I think it was years of stress catching up with me. Fortunately for me, my nutritionist turned me onto ACV and I searched for more information on ACV and found this web site. After about 6 days of taking 1-2 tablespoons of ACV, 3X per day with a 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda to neutralize the ph before the major meals and my acid reflux is almost completely gone! Before I had tried ACV, I had to even stop exercising because the glands in my throat would get so swollen. Now I take a teaspoon of ACV with a dash of baking soda before I exercise and hardly experience any swolleness in my glands. Each day my condition is improving.......I honestly thought that my life was coming to an end........the nausea and sudden change to my lifestyle was crippling. I continue to take one digestive enzyme capsule with each major meal, but I used to have to take about 4 of them to just get by. I am wondering if I will have to take ACV for my whole life........since my condition is getting better with each day perhaps I'll eventually be just be on an occasional maintenance mode .Thanks so much for this website. Good luck and God Bless to everyone! Also, you can toss the prilosec into the garbage dump!......Prilosec worked well for a while but the joints in my body were hurting me more. I now feel young again!"

[YEA] 12/12/2006: Jane from Middletown, NJ writes: "I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda 2 weeks ago. I have been on Protonix, Reglan, and Prevacid for years, and they just stopped working. I went on line to check out the apple cider vinegar cure and I started using it right away. It helped my acid reflux immediately. I no longer have that burning sensation in my esophagus 24 hours a day. I am so very grateful for this remedy. I told my doctor, who never heard of it, and he said to continue using it. I also like the idea that it is 100% natural and you really can't beat the price!!"

ACIDITY ISSUES

[YEA] 07/22/2007: Tanya from Vancouver, Canada writes: "I've been taking ACV to help reduce my body acidity. It helped relax my shoulder muscles somewhat. However, real improvements occurred when I tried out Ted's ACV backing soda recipe! I had started on Glucosamine to help reduce my squeaky/crackling joints in the neck, shoulders, hips, and back, not realizing that the problem is (possibly) acid-related. The baking soda absolutely helped, within days! I can still crack my neck some, but the rest of me is fine. Amazing. We seriously should set up a Donation Box for Ted. He's contributed so much and has really made this site stand out from the others!"

[QUESTION] 03/19/2010: Karen from Williston, Nd, Usa writes: "I have a question about ACV. I have been taking 1 tbsp ACV in 1 cup purified water with 1/4 tsp baking soda for 5 days now, twice a day in the hopes of helping my arthritis. I plan to do 5 days on, 2 days off. My question is, can I keep doing this as long as I want? I haven't noticed a real big improvement in the arthritis yet, but do have a lot more energy. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Karen"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 02/27/2009: RC from Southern, Arkansas writes: "Can anyone please tell me, What is GSE? I have an ongoing sinus issue as well, muscle tightness (always, always) in my shoulders (since my teen years), lower back pain (sacroiliac?) poppint joints, and some recently acquired arthritis pains in my hands. Found this site, quit ALL meds, started 2T of ACV with 1tsp honey and 1/2 tsp baking soda. After 1 week, substantial relief in my hands, some relief with sinus, but now I have achiness all over... joint popping and low back pain continue to come and go. Thinking I have a yeast issue and am looking for answers on this site... help?! I believe the ACV treatment is working for me so far! I enjoy this site and everyone's input. I'm listening to the catpurr as I type. :O)"

[YEA] 07/30/2008: Davey D from Victoria, BC Canada writes: "I would just like to say how wonderful the site is. About a year ago I started to search for natural cures for arthritis because my hips were giving me terrible pain and some pain in my knuckles as well. I am a male of 60 years with Muscular Dystrophy. I started taking 2 tbs apple cider vinegar with 1/2 tsp of backing soda twice a day for 5 days on and 2 days off. I can say that today I am almost pain free. I have found that the Omega 369 has taken care of my suicidal depression, but one a day is all I can afford because our Government will not help me. Your simple affordable remedy has saved my life because I can live more comfortably now. There was a story of a man of 53 found dead in his truck on day from carbon monoxide poisoning and I had been contemplating this method before I found Earth Clinic. Maybe if he had of known he would still be alive. No cuddo's for our gov.
God Bless you Ted.
Thank you so much for your help.
Davey D."

[YEA] 12/06/2007: Steve from Victoria BC, Canada writes: "Hi everyone at earthclinic! I am a 60 year male. I found your site after a search for arthritis and natural cures. I started taking the ACV and BS two months ago. It has significantly reduced the pain and swelling between my knuckles. My hips and knee pain are getting better and the food taste better as well. My energy has increased and I am not napping as much. I don't feel as cold anymore and no more shivers in bed. It has also helped my wife with her knees. I can't thank you enough for your wonderful natural cure. I almost got sold on the Swedish joint pain formula but I found your site and I am now saving my much needed money. Now I am going to start using the H202 inhalation method and I will let you know how that turns out.You are on my 649 list and you can hold me to that."

[YEA] 01/15/2007: David from Redding, USA writes: "ACV and Baking Soda: This really works! I have twin boys both with asthma and allergies. Both on Asthma allergy medications. Also getting allergy shots. I put them on ACV and baking soda with lemon. Over a short period of time we were able to take them off all meds and shots! They have caught less colds and when they do they are short lived compared to the past. We have been drinking this mixture 2 times per day now for about a year and we are doing great. Thanks for this great site and all those who share. Warmest Regards, David"
