ACIDITY REACTIONS FROM VINEGAR

10/09/2007: Amie from Janesville, IOWA writes: "If you are having a reaction to vinegar, you may have candida. Yeast-proliferating foods-such as sugar,(including honey), and vinegar exacerbate intestinal candidiasis. Candida is extremely common, given to the poor choices in food selection now days. For me, candida was the root cause of all my sinus problems, headaches, bloating in my belly, on and off fatigue/depression, poor memory/brain fog and added to weight gain and an addictive craving for sweets,breads, and vinegars. fyi: another sign of candida overgrowth is recurrent fungal infections of the toenails and fingernails; or recurrent athlete's foot."
Replies[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 04/20/2009: Mayte from Kissimmee, FL replies: "I have been diagnosed with the following HBP, Fibromyalgia, and cluster headaches. So I am willing to try anything to feel better than I do. I was told to take 2 tsp of ACV and 1 tsp of Blackstrap Molasses,and 1/2 cup of Aloe Vera GEL with (alkaline) Water. I have a Alkalizer filter. I have been taking this mix for about 4 days and I have lost 2 pounds a day, Pee like there is no tommorrow, and go several times a day to the bathroom for the other stuff. Blood pressure has been going up even though I am taking my medication. I am itchy all over but I do have more energy and I was told that this will get rid of some toxins in my system which I believe that is true. The itchy is what I do not underwstand is that normal? The fact that I have lost weight makes me happy since I need to loose weight. I am not that hungry anymore, and I do not crave sweet stuff. The doctor said if I lost some weight it would help with the HBP and I also have allergies to Perservatives in the foods especially MSG I breakout in hives. I think that since it cleans toxins in the body and I believe that is why I am itchy due to the toxins being messed with in the body I hope I am right. Because over all I am not going to stop unless something major happens. So far I feel it is helping me with the elimination of toxins and I really need it."
06/20/2009: H from Seattle, Wa replies: "really, it would be best if u stayed away from msg ! -r u being forced 2 eat preservatives? no,so when getting side effects of preservatives,don't complain- u chose 2 eat that item, just don't eat packaged food; don't microwave;
don't cook food inteflon or other plasticy non natural surfaces; use glass or iron, make your own food, don't eat out at restaurants, most employees never wash and food, aprt from being loaded with preservatives has the added risk of being old.
Whatever you do, never drink beverages from SODA FOUNTAINS!!! This I cannot stress more.I have seen this firsthand at many restaurants, I've worked in, these machines have never been cleaned.THey are installed and forgotten. Once I was unclogging one of these and i pulled out a blob which looked like an x-files creature.
what else can i say here? carbonation in small moderation. no corn syrup. no tap water.
don't buy fake peanut butter(hydrogenated)- ur just buying infated water, not actual peanut butter.
buy organic or natural foods, unaffected by nerve damaging preservatives, eat that ezekial bread, try 2 really meditate once in a while, do pranayama. fast once in a while...etc,etc."
08/20/2009: Carmen from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "geez, i didn't read anywhere that she was complaining. i didn't like the tone of your reply- you are being helpful, but berating someone with the old "you ate it, you don't have the right to complain!" is perplexing and rather offensive."
11/14/2009: Tamsin from Normal, Il replies: "FYI, I've worked in lots of different restaurants and everywhere I worked the soda machine was thoroughly cleaned every night, without exception. I also agree with Carmen regarding your tone."
11/15/2009: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, USA replies: "Hi everyone, I do believe how we speak to one another is very important as it can feel harsh and disrespectful and I have seen it here before from a poster who consistently was outright rude. Berating others is never a good tactic. Still, I understand where H from Seattle is coming from. What I often say is: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. When we have a negative effect from anything- food, medicine, people, situations, etc., we must look at it squarely and ask ourselves WHAT? and then take the measures necessary for a better result. I think this person became overzealous in their warnings is all. I get that more each day that I am on this new journey of juicing, green smoothies and raw food. I am not 100% just high raw at this point and having amazing experiences. Each day I look around me and I see how many ailments, disease and pain people are in and still they continue to put these things into their body. I'm not saying it's easy to change, I'm just saying if you want to see changes, you must change the way you are doing things. I have always been committed to eating "healthy"- since I was 19 and started as a macrobiotic. Then just vegetarian for many years but my health suffered so I returned to eating meat. I was fine until about 4 years ago and became committed again to finding an answer to my physical pain I have endured. I went completely through alternative means- herbs, homeopathy, chiropractic, physical therapy, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, only organic, etc. Eventually, I found this site and have tried ACV, hydrogen peroxide, oil pulling, etc. Everything helped a little. It's all good. Then the mini beet protocol and I decided to go for it. OMG! Major headway. That lead me to juicing, which lead me to the raw food world and now into the superfoods world! Amazing is all I can say. I feel my body returning- my life being given back to me. I know pain, I know incredible pain but I was not willing to live with it or be anesthetized or medicated by the doctors- that is not a power I am willing to give them. On these sites I have seen testimonies of "miracles" over and over- people defeating cancer, fibromyalgia, diabetes, debilitating illness, chronic fatigue, depression, etc. all these things that society is now naming and accepting. These are all symptoms of the breakdown of how we are eating and what we are putting into our bodies willingly. I urge all of you to look into this- we all have access to computers who are on this site so do the research- there is so much out there for us!Deanna from Augusta, GA- google Terminator Zapper and do some research on this. All of you who have issues with strange symptoms that the medical profession cannot explain read about the parasites and nano bacterias that are affecting people and what you can really do to rid yourself of these- the zapper, zeolite, liver cleanses, MSM- there is so much. Some of these leading people can be heard on youtube- it's free! All of it available for our own knowledge. And look at these people while you're listening- they're vital, alive, dynamic!
I am with all of you on our quest for health but be willing to really do the research and do the work to get yourself off the mainstream wheel- it's not working. I can only tell you these last couple of weeks have been mind-blowing for me. I hope you will find that for yourselves too."

I used to drink ACV yeasr ago because I heard it was good for you. I will let you know. I am beside myself and just want it to go away. Here goes! Bottoms up!"

[SIDE EFFECTS] 11/10/2010: Lori from Delta, Co writes: "I started taking the lemon w/BS for over a month ago and I felt like I was getting a funny taste in my mouth like metal and it felt like a coating was all inside my mouth. And Saturday I woke up and my tongue had a white coating on it and the insides of my mouth all around my cheeks inside my lips and the way back of my tongue felt like it had a coating and was red and swollen almost like a rash my tongue underneath felt inflamed and tight. I felt terrible like I had been trying to catch a real bad cold. I never had this happen before. I started immediately taken more of the BS and ACV in very warm water and sipped on it. My throat started to clear up and by Tuesday I felt normal again. I'm thinking it was all getting rid of candida or??? I thought I might have mixed too many remedies. But I still take the lemon w/BS, blackstrap molasses, lecithin, e and d, and occasionaly sea salt. Any idea what it might of been could it of been ridding candida?"
Replies11/12/2010: Lisa from Waynesboro, Virginia replies: "If you already have systemic candida, it could have been a die off reaction. If it is getting better then you can keep doing that. I have been improving with my candida; I don't even do the molasses since it's another sugar."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 07/21/2007: G from Palo Alto, CA writes: "Hi Ted, I have a question for you: I started on 2 tbl ACV & 1/4 tsp Baking soda along with lemon juice. This I take twice a day for the last 5 days. The main intention is to reduce my blood pressure. I definitely see improvement in energy levels. However since I have started taking this I have begun getting constipated. Also my blood pressure has risen by about 5-8 points on the systolic reading and I feel I am gaining weight. Does this sound like I am retaining sodium? In one of your suggestions you mention using Potassium Bicarbonate. However I am unable to find it in the pharmacy. Please let me know what you would recommend. Thanks"

[SIDE EFFECTS] 02/02/2009: Tom from Galloway, NJ USA replies: "Hello everybody, I also experienced a bad case of constipation. But to make matters worse, my butt not only feels like it is clamped shut but it burns like hell all the time. I've never had hemmies but I am assuming thats what they feel like (no bleeding). I started out with a teaspoon in about 10 oz of water but then I followed EC advice with 2 teaspoons in a liter of filtered water and sipped during the day.
I stopped for about a day and a half and the bottom end of me is getting better. However, I have a case of rosacea and it seemed to clear up nicely and I was peeing like a race horse..But the burning butt is a deal breaker. I was using Bragg organic with the Mother... Any suggestions? Would baking soda help or should I forget about it? Thanks"

ALKALIZING REMEDY

[SIDE EFFECTS] 09/02/2011: Anonymous from Anonymous writes: "Hi, I just took the alkalizing remedy (baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, citric acid) in the monring and in the mid afternoon I took it again and threw in a little vitamin C and magnesium. I read somewhere on here it was recommended to alkalize 4 times a day to strengthen the immune system. I haven't been able to eat much cuz I don't feel well but on the 2nd time I felt a quick full body heat flush and then anxiety for a few minutes until I drank more water and ate an egg. I might have been a bit dehyrdrated as well. My stomach feels a bit in turmoil right now. Did I do something wrong? What can I do right? Gracias!"
Replies[YEA] 09/13/2011: Bianka from France replies: "Hi All, I take apple cider vinegar 4 drops with tsp honey bit of warm water to stir then add cold and knock it back only once a day it has helped my bad back no end but why would anyone want to take their concoctions more than once a day - anything that is taken too much is not good for you.I also take quarter tsp of Bicarbonate of soda in half a glass of water for my heartburn when it comes on which is about once a week now whereas before I lived on rennies - then the doctor put me on some sort of antacid tablets that had side effects like putting on weight. So I stick to carrying my bicarbonate of soda in an old tablet bottle.
Re CANDIDA - I got rid of mine that I had had for years on and off with the following:
2 -3 half capfuls of Aloe vera (cranberry flavour) juice (this is like a weed killer for yeast) 1 -2 acidophulus tablets (10 million per capsule) as the 4 Billion suggested capsule gave me a temperature. I gave up all sugars, all yeasts incl alcohol except Apple cider vinegar, and gave up mushrooms as suggested in the candida book - this I did (and noted on paper each day my headaches etc) I did this for 3 months suggested and all my ailments went away now I keep aloe vera in the fridge for when I need it (opened it only lasts a month) and always keep taking my acidophulus tablets 1 or 2 a day - they are the good bacteria that is suppossed to be found in Actimal and Yogurts and Yacult except that the later 3 things have sugar in them and make you fat hence contarindications.
So why not try the above for candida and like anything the bad will come out in some form like itching or headaches or nausea but should only last a week . I now take Selinium tablets - antioxidents once a day and a squirt of lemon juice also antioxident to ward of colds - I watched a documentary that said that oxygen oxideses our body like rust and therefore we should all be taking antioxidents because of this and the chemicals in the air.
Look after yourselfs and don't overdo your concoctions but personally I would do things over a course of a month or 2 -3 only and if it does not clear up then think again."

02/05/2012: Mary from Kildare, Ireland writes: "I have osteoporisis and low blood pressure. Would apple cider vinegar be a suitable remedie for me to treat repeated urinary tract infections. It seems to work for so many people and I would love to try it but am worried about lowering my BP. Also cant get my head around the acid or alkaline issues of ACV."
Replies02/06/2012: Teresa from Worksop, Nottinghamshire Uk replies: "I have recently started taking 2-3 tablespoonsful of ACV daily as I bought it for my cat and as the recommended organic one is fairly expensive, thought I would give it a try. I do not have any health problems (apart from frequent heartburn which, surprisingly, the ACV has not made any worse) but I have noticed that I have had no hot flushes since starting this. Of course, this could be a coincidence but would be interested if anyone has had any experience of this."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 01/28/2012: La Coneja from Paterson, New Jersey writes: "I don't mean to disgust anyone but I just recently started drinking ACV this month and my menses won't stop. I put 2 cap fulls in a 16oz bottle of water. Since drinking this I have been very heavy & only when I skip does it "slow down. " Is there something wrong with me?"
Replies01/30/2012: Jen from Bozeman, Mt, Us replies: "La Coneja, You should be taking a multi vitamin. ACV can deplete your body of such vitamins as potassium, zinc, calcium, and iron. All very important to balancing your blood and hormone levels. Make sure you are taking a multi vitamin while taking the ACV and try taking a little extra zinc for a few days during your period. You don't want to take too much though or it will knock other vitamins out of balance so just stick with about 15 mg added per day for a few days. I take about 25 mg twice a week and this keeps my period under control but I also take the opposing vitamins and minerals to make sure I am not causing an imbalance with the zinc. I also drink the ACV daily only I can't handle the diluted water all day so I take a shot twice a day with a little water added. Short and sweet, or rather sour but it gets it down:)"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 12/22/2011: Amy from Tucson, Arizona writes: "Dear Ted,
Been over a month since I found this website and loving it so much (I'm on it everyday :) ). Started taking ACV with BS 5 days on 2 days off every week cured my fever, cough and cold, no back pain, no migraine and feel lots of energy. I'm very, very happy with the results and very thankful for you and everyone for having such good hearts. Unfortunately I've also lost 4 lbs in a month which isn't neccessary :(. My question for you is : " Since taking ACV and BS my health have been improved so much. Is there a way for me to take ACV without losing weight (keeping my weight the same)? How to gain weight while taking ACV?
I'm waiting for your answer. Thank you!"

12/18/2011: Special01 from Indianapolis, In, Usa writes: "Has anyone else experienced choking while taking ACV and eating red meat? I was taking ACV daily for all the benefits it offers. I developed a cough which seems to have developed into choking when eating certain foods. I can no longer eat any rice at all. I love rice but it gets caught in my throat and the only way I can get it out is to vomit it up. If anyone has a remedy please help!!!"
Replies01/08/2012: Maria from Gippsland, Australia replies: "Hi Special01 from Indianapolis, Try putting magnesium under your tongue to be absorbed sub lingually when this happens or even if you suspect it is about to happen. Mag Oxide powder or Mag Citrate or Epsom Salts all work well and let it dissolve without swallowing. When you swallow the taste should be gone due to it being absorbed under the tongue. It may also pay to increase your daily magnesium. All the best."

11/24/2011: Kalki from Mumbai, India writes: "ACV has worked for me on separate occasions for a completely blocked nose and for sticky bowel movement. Both times, the welcome difference was felt by the 3rd day. I took 2 tbsps of ACV in 1 litre of water and drank it throughout the day.
Last month, I took 2 tbsps of ACV in 8 oz of water, 3 times a day as recommended as I felt a severe cold building up. The cold was stopped in its tracks but mild, more or less dormant facial dermatitis (on neck too) flared up like anything. The rashes started first. After 3 days, my face started swelling and kept it up.
And the itching.... Horrible is too mild a word for it! Only aloe vera juice directly from the leaf helped with the itching. Stopped it within 5 minutes [after a few days of experimenting with a lot of remedies including ACV (with water 1:1) topically]. Till then it was difficult to even sleep.
After a few days of putting up with the rashes and swelling (I had reduced all my allergies previously by diet control), I went on a sprouts and fruits only diet (only one item at a time and only 4 items a day. Yes! ) to help my body recover. I stopped ACV at that time. I do not apply anything but natural stuff on my skin due to previous allergies.
It's 2 weeks later now on my diet, and my skin is limping back to normal. I still look like I have a medium case of sunburn, with dry flaky, bumpy skin. Thankfully not itching from the inside. Some discomfort remains due to the dryness. The skin on my face and neck in the affected parts is noticeably very much darker. It looks like a line drawn all around the base of my neck and one side's dark brown and the other light brown.
Can ACV do this?Was it a healing crisis? Was it the concentrated dose? Even if so, does it take 2 weeks , and continuing, for it to leave the body? Will this change or remain like this? My family and I have had many good experiences with ACV. I want to continue but am scared of a worsening of all this. Confused... Any help will be appreciated."
Replies11/24/2011: Baldev from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India replies: "Hi Kalki, Apple Cider Vinegar cannot be the reason for your skin problem. However you can use coconut oil , it should help you in this situation. Drink more water.Baldev"

Coconut, sesame, castor oil.... I use the ACV about 2 wks before noticing I was getting a raging vaginal yeast infection. Used acidophilus both internally and externally and got relief. Started ACV again and notice the yeast infection symptoms again. Could this be from die off or what is your opinion? Has anyone else experienced this reaction? Should I use ACV again after I get it under control?"

[SIDE EFFECTS] 09/23/2011: Becky from Santa Rosa, Ca writes: "Hi there! I recently tried your revised recipe for daily drinking of ACV. I'm not sure if it was supposed to happen or not. Possibly just detoxing, but oh how annoying, My face started breaking out. Nothing I couldn't handle. They actually cleared up quite quickly. What scared me a bit, though, was that my tongue started breaking out, too!! It really hurt when I brushed my teeth and tongue as I usually do. I drank this for approx. 2 weeks, throughout the day, until I could no longer tolerate the pain in my mouth. Did I stop too soon? Did I go too long? When I first started, it was within hours that I felt my mouth drying out and imagined my body was doing the same. it surprised me, later, when I started breaking out.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! And thanks for all you're doing here!
Becky"

I have been taking the unfiltered on for about 3 weeks and I am experiencing an increase in appetite and sugar cravings. I have always had sugar cravings. But, I thought the ACV would slow it down."
Replies09/01/2011: Sue Ellen from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "Acetic acid (active component in ACV) has been proven to reduce blood sugar levels in several studies. If you have not consumed much carbohydrates prior to taking ACV, you will give yourself hypoglycemia and will crave sugar.The best times to take ACV alone is at least 30 minutes after a meal. Or you could try ACV with molasses, which has enough sugar to keep you from being hypoglycemic."
09/03/2011: Westwardtony from Oamaru, Otago. New Zealand replies: "Sue. See my comments on 9/2/11 about bleeding. I have not been taking ACV seriously until now when I seem to be going through a phase of nose bleeds that are reluctant to stop. I have not yet noticed an increased desire for sugar or eating. ACV seems to be very versatile but I have only just begun exploring the possibilities."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 08/16/2011: Lola2008 from Miami, Fl, Usa writes: "Hi I just started taking acv, 3 times a day with water and nothing else I also apply topically to my face - sometimes have mild acne with a random not so mild deep cyst on my face now and then normally after menstrual cycle.
my face looks so much better in a short period of time but my sinuses are so much worse, I have had sinuses problems for many years have tried just about everything- I also do not eat sugar and dairy very rarely -
i wake up feeling sick every day with flu like symptoms and I have a "river" of mucus dripping on the back of my throat-the back of my eyes hurts -even my ears feel full, they dont hurt it just seems like I am far - the wonderful rosy glow I had the first few days is now gone too!
my lower back hurts a little don't know if related and suddenly I also seem to have discharge clear and odorless nothing worrisome but it is out of the ordinary
i am wondering if this is because I am de-toxin somehow or I might be allergic to Apple Cider Vinegar ?
i should also mention that I am hypothiroid under control with armour
i have been taking primrose oil for a few years now
just in case I will tell you that I started putting castor oil drops in my eyes before I go to bed I have pteglyum in both eyes and had a pimple like growth on my tear duct that has disappeared in 2 days ( have had it for a few years too)this is sooo wondeful!
my eyes are completely blood shot where pteglyum is all veins seem to have gotten irritated at the same time so I am wondering if it is all connected somehow
thanks so much I love this site!!!!"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 08/01/2011: Deb from Mildura, Victoria Australia writes: "I know this is probably contradictory to all who have found ACV an excellent treatment for boils but for me it was the opposite. I had never suffered from boils previously but within a few days of taking ACV, a large boil would appear. Initially, I thought it was possibly eliminating toxins in my body through these boils but the only way to stop outbreaks was to cease the ACV. Free from boils for a few months and then retrialling ACV again would cause yet another outbreak. I tried this four times, all with the same effect. I changed nothing in my diet or environment such as detergents etc.
On the positive side, I loved the diuretic effect of the ACV and I definitely had more energy as it levelled my blood sugar level. No, I am not a diabetic. Any solutions would be appreciated."

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 07/29/2011: Amber from Issaquah, Wa writes: "A couple months ago when I had a very bad cold I found this site and tried a few different concoctions of ACV to be able to swallow. Everything I tried worked Great! However, I have a side effect that when I am sick or healthy that I do not know is normal and would like to hear if anyone else is effected the same way or a way to get around it.
My side effect when taking ACV is that I lose my ability to taste completely for the entire day. I have tried different ways of drinking ACV with warm water and honey, or 2 tsp to 18oz of water or the Bragg's recipe on the bottle. Either way I lose my ability to taste and sometimes smell. Again is this normal? I sip not gulp down. I have tried a straw and still no luck. Thank you for your reply."
