12/07/2011: Spikey58 from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada: "Newcomer needs Advice

I have just discovered the mainy benefits of taking ACV and Baking soda. I have started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda twice a day now (2tsp Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/4 tsp baking soda) and I was wondering is it best to take first in the morning and at night (before meals or after)? I take my first dose as soon as I get up in the morning followed by my coffee so should I wait for awhile before to have my coffee or is this ok?. Also how long should I take this for as I have read 5 days on and two off. Thank you"

12/03/2011: Ash from London, United Kingdom: "Can I use ENO instead of Soda Bicarbonate in my ACV and Lemon drink? Eno is a readily available product from Grocers and Pharmacy and contains Soda Bicarbonate and Citric Acid and is used as a relief from upset stomach etc.

Thank you for a great site and God Bless"

11/27/2011: Khurram from Islamabad, Pakistan: "Hi I am a regular reader but I have some questions for you, I have hypothyroid. Can I use Apple Cider Vinegar because I am using it for the last 4 days and can I use it with baking powder because I could not find baking soda here. Is it ok? Please answer my question as soon as possible as I have stones in my gallbladder also. Waiting for your answer- thank you."

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS]  10/12/2011: Maria from Frankfurt, Germany: "I have been taking 2 tbs ACV and 1/4 ts baking soda in a glass of water twice a day on empty stomach for three weeks, 5 days on 2 days off according to Ted's instruction. I have been taking it for over all health. I am reducing my weight much faster, more energy, clear thinking, better sleep, no more constipation. I am feeling great. But this remedy makes me urinate frequently. I don't have any kidney problem. Is this normal while on this remedy? or Is this side effect of baking soda? Has any body experienced frequent urination with this remedy? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Maria."

07/27/2011: Emma from Portland, Oregon: "I have been reading all the comments and what I don't understand is how BOTH ACV and Baking Soda can help - are they opposites? ACV is acid and Baking soda is alkaline, right?"

06/27/2011: Caleb from New York, New York, Usa: "on the cleanse with Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda and eating fruits, veggies, nuts and lean meat while drinking plenty of water what can we expect the elimination process to be? how long should I do the Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda? thanks"

06/01/2011: Absgail143 from Cagayan De Oro, Misamis Oriental, Philippines: "can I eat after drinking ACV and baking soda??"

05/13/2011: Julia from Sydney, Australia: "Dear Ted, Ive got myself VERY worried reading all the ACV posts and yours to add bicarb soda. Whenever I did that I was severely ill. I have low stomach acid, addisons and too much ca & mg in tissues and ca blocking arteries. I thought any one of those could explain the EXTRA pain to what I normally have & the nausea by adding bicarb. BUT if I dont Im making myself more acidic. And my saliva & urine show up as being very acidic. Now Im thinking I shouldnt take it at all & I'll miss out on all the benefits everyone talks of. Also the vit c I take - the only one I could find without ca just ascorbate. Is that making me too acidic also?"

03/25/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Ma.usa: "First time I ever tried Apple Cider Vinegar and bs I loved it, it cleaned my whole system completely out also for many years and because of this fungal virus I have had the hardest time moving my bowels, but after using Apple Cider Vinegar and bs I won't be needing other remedies. I will be taking a rest after this long bout of cleaning house, soon I will be back on the journey of Apple Cider Vinegar and bs again for more complete cleaning of my system. I also use it with my kitten I found in the street almost dead, I found one thing she had was internal parasites and very high acidic invironment and Apple Cider Vinegar did the trick, she is well strong and thriving."

03/19/2011: Joyce from Kerikeri, New Zealand: "Can I mix up ACV & B.S. In say 1 litre of water for a whole day or does it have to be done just before I use it? joyce"

02/03/2011: Pelvis from Las Vegas, Nevada, Usa: "Can I continue my 1oz of Apple Cider Vinegar a day and begin taking a tsp of Baking Soda mixed in 8oz of water? I realize these two substances when combined create a volcano but I was going to ingest them 12 hours apart. Will they still have their individual positive effects or will they essentially cancel each other out? "

01/30/2011: Maria from V N De Milfontes, Portugal: "Hello & may I say that this site is a g-dsend!

If I read one of the posts correctly, do I understand that adding Bicarb of Soda to ACV can rob the body of potassium? If that's the case, could Potassium Bicarb be added instead of Sodium Bicarb?

Keep up the good work.

Maria"

01/09/2011: Cara from Cairns, Qld, Australia: "I noticed some people in their posts talk of adding baking soda to their daily ACV. What exactly is the reason for adding baking soda to apple cider vinegar. How does it benefit the body?"
