TOOK ACV FOR 8 YEARS, THEN DEVELOPED SEVERE NERVE PAIN
12/02/2009: Bellmac from Gallatin, Tn writes: "Ted,
I have read several of your posts concerning ACV and I was wondering if you could read what my symptoms have been and suggest a way to fix my problem.
I took Apple Cider Vinegar religiously for about a year, over 8 yrs ago. During that time I developed Trigeminal Nerve Pain. I associated this with hereditary but now that it seems like I have pain in every nerve in my body, I have the gut instinct that the ACV did something to my body! I was tested and told I was too acid at that time. I also test low on Potassium and swear that if I eat too much Potass. that I have an onset of the Nerve Pain. I now have severe nerve pain in my left leg, left foot (which also turns purple when over used), my arms are so bad that I have to lay on my back at night with my arms away from my body and my back burns like fire with any activity. I was wondering if you could suggest a course of action to help fix any nerve damage or imbalance that might have occured due to overuse of ACV. I am also now allergic to mold which is basically what ACV is!
I am desperate for an answer, pls help!"

SIDE EFFECTS EXPERIENCED: WHAT SHOULD I SAFELY TAKE?
05/14/2008: Gene from Gatineau, QC, Canada writes: "Hi, I have tried some of the remedies found on the site but unfortunately, they either didn't work or only partially did. So far, I tried some of the Cayenne pepper remedies for treating a sore throat and this resulted in interference with my anti-seizures medication plus irritated my stomach (was treated for a peptic ulcer a few years ago and before the flu, I could feel the symptoms returning) to the point that I now feel bloated, a bit nauseous, acid mouth and tongue (tongue discoloration and "cracks") which I suspect this to be Acid Reflux. I do need to boost my immune system but I'm afraid that most concoctions I've read might just aggravate my stomach problem.
So, to play it safe, I've started using the basic sodium bicarb and water (3 times/day) recipe and rinsing my mouth with a stronger SB/water solution 4 to 5 times per day. I also was recommended by a health food consultant that I should take Probiotics which could help in many areas but today, I read one of Ted's posts that Sodium Bicarb could nullify the effect of the Probiotics. In conclusion, I'm now confused about what I should do or take. I also have raw garlic, ACV, hydrogen peroxide, green tea (which also irritated my stomach after a 4 day use), cayenne pepper and a few other products mentioned in either Ted's and user's posts but I'm weary about taking any of them on account of my sensitive digestive system. Any help would be appreciated, this is my third post on this site and I am hoping for an answer. Thanks, Gene "
