I realized I had some of that unfiltered, organic ACV in my cupboard. I've heard the filtered/clear stuff doesn't work and that it has to say "with mother" on the front. I pulled some out and mixed 2 tbsp with a Hot Toddy in the evening. I know, I know, evil... but I was miserable and a little cognac helped too. It worked within a few hours. It's freakin' amazing! I can't believe all the years of heavy periods and all the money on doctors. This allows you to control how heavy your periods are.
I've learned for me that 2 Tbsps of ACV (the unfiltered kind) three times a day eliminated my period all together. Adding a little liquid stevia with some water helps the taste. So now I'm going to reduce the amount of ACV I'm taking until I have a reasonable period. I am just thrilled to have control of such a scary situation - and such an inexpensive, easy solution!

I would also recommend bioidentical progesterone replacement as that has heart protective benefits. I am taking 50mg CMP progesterone and drinking 2 tbsp ACV 2x per day. I feel amazing!
My doctor explained that we are subjected to xenoestrogens in just about every processed product we consume (including bottled water made with BPH) and touch in our lives. These xenoestrogens cause hormonal imbalance in the form of estrogen dominance and that can cause heavy menstruation. The ACV helps to eliminate these xenoestrogens, thus restoring balance along with the bioidentical hormone replacement. LOVE IT!!!!

I ran and measured 2 T. ACV and added about 8 oz of water. I took a straw from the cupboard and sipped in all down rather fast. I didn't care about the taste, I needed help.
Its been about 8 hours and guess what!!!!! It has slowed. I'm in total heaven. I've been so scared. I was feeling weak, dizzy when getting up, etc. Thank you all so much for taking the time to share your stories, I read them ALL! I was prepared for DAYS and DAYS and weeks of misery. Its the middle of June and I want to jump in the pool every day. I was certain that I wouldn't be swimming for the rest of the summer (due to past experiences.) Yay! Bring on summer!!!
Apple Cider Vinegar contains nutrients, so it is possible it helps different things by correcting nutritional deficiencies. It is also used to help alkalize the body, which will help to correct a number of health problems.
It is possible that you will only need it at certain times. On the other hand, it may benefit you taken daily for a long time. Everyone's needs are different.
In times past and even still in some cultures, it is normal to have some sort of fermented food with meals as a condiment. We tend to think of condiments as things to make food taste better, but some condiments actually help the digestion of the meal. (Sauerkraut for example.)
I have been using Apple Cider Vinegar for years and have found it helpful for so many things, internally and externally.

So, day one in the evening I did 3 tbsp of ACV. With the Mothers on it. Made sure it was this kind only! Second day, 3 tbsp of ACV. With splash of apple juice. Drank quickly followed with 8 oz water. I noticed my cycle was getting lighter. I could hardly believe my eyes! I figured it couldn't hurt to keep drinking away. Day three period almost gone and only spotting. Can't believe this has actually worked!! I want to yell from ROOF top to all women suffering. This is hands down the best thing ever.
Thanks, earthclinic for for sharing the info. If you had not posted I wouldn't be better.

It has been several years since Joonie posted that; I hope she sees it and is able to get back to you! It is so encouraging to see that others get better from things you are dealing with!
I am very hopeful that the Apple Cider Vinegar and Blackstrap will help you a lot!
Regarding you question if stopping the bleeding will prolong the pre-menopause, I do not think so. I do think that some prescriptions and herbs may prolong pre-menopause. But, I think what you are trying to do is REGULATE it. The amount of bleeding you have had is likely leaving you anemic (The Blackstrap will help with that.)
In addition to the vinegar and blackstrap, you may want to look into castor oil packs or charcoal poultices on the abdomen 4 nights a week for a few weeks. Both have helped women with fibroids and benign tumors in the uterus, which may be the reason for the out of control bleeding.
Hopefully the vinegar and Blackstrap will help quickly. If they should take a bit of time to regulate your cycles and bleeding, cayenne pepper and Shepherd's Purse are both helpful when you are having too much bleeding. 3/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper in 6 ounces of juice and/or 30 drops of Shepherd's purse tincture. I have taken them hourly (for a couple of hours) for heavy bleeding during a miscarriage, which may have spared me from a D&C.
Keep us posted on your progress!

I am 49 years old and I started having symptoms of pre menopause about 4 or 5 years ago. It started with me by me skipping a month and then the next month I started with extremely heavy bleeding and the blood clots. It was hard to stand and walk because the huge blood clots would just slip right past the tampon and pad. I was using the highest absorbancy of both. Well I bled heavy like this for 3 weeks, scared to leave the house, couldn't go shopping, or go out to dinner with my family.
Went to the DR, he said there was something he could give me but he said " We like to let it work itself out". So anyway, the next month I had a normal period that lasted about 8 to 9 days, which was a day or so longer than my usual, and about the 2 or 3rd day would be my heaviest days with flooding with blood clots. I could deal with that and it went on like that until September of this past year. Then I skipped a month and then the next month spotted for the whole month, then stopped for 2 weeks and then started spotting again. I spotted from November until December after Christmas and then I started bleeding heavy for about a few days and then stopped for 2 days. I then started again really heavy with the huge blood clots and cramps, blood clots seem to slip right past the tampons and pads so I have to limit what I do.
I get weak and lightheaded and it's been going on now for about 3 to 4 weeks. There are times I think I am slowing down and then here comes the flood. I get angry and emotional because there are things I can't do, some clothes I can't wear for fear of ruining them.
Then I read the ladies post, the name I posted at the beginning of my post, and after reading her post I don't feel so bad. She gave me a lot of inspiration, it's one of those sayings " when you think your life is so bad and think you have it so bad just stop and think there is somebody out there that is having it worse " so I am feeling much better today.
I haven't tried the Apple cider vinegar, but I am going today to get the Organic apple cider vinegar along with the Blackstrap molasses and organic foods. I also have the benign, non-cancerous tumors in my uterus and I know they need to be removed, but I just had colon surgery a couple of years ago and they had to remove 8" of my colon along with my appendix due to Diverticulitis. That is a major surgery to recover from, especially in the later years of life. I am just now starting to feel better from that surgery, so I am not looking forward to having another surgery.
I am scared to take Hormone pills. I have heard so many horror stories about them, but I ran across this amazing website earth clinic and I was reading that Blackstrap molasses is good for fibroid tumors and a lot of other things so I am gonna try that first. I am a believer in home remedies over harsh medications that Dr's want to push on you so I think me running across this website is a GODSEND, I am feeling much better about myself now, just have to get this bleeding to stop.
But I was wondering about one thing. I know going through pre menopause is a must and is natural because it prepares your body for menopause, so I was wondering if stopping the bleeding would only be prolonging the pre menopause? I don't know, just something I was curious about?
and for Joonie York if you read this please message me. I would really love to talk to you because your story has been an inspiration to me, or reply and I will send you my email address. I just want to say Thank You.

Okay on another note, the ACV pills & combination of drinking the ACV liquid & water made 2 planter warts disappear on my foot, I have had for years, and nothing I did worked. I know it's because of the ACV, because I have not done anything else, I wasn't taking the ACV for this reason only for the spotting, but to my happy surprise got rid of the warts in the process. I had read to soak a wart in the ACV, but I was afraid of it burning my foot. So I guess by taking the ACV internally it worked from inside out, and removed them. So try this also for warts. ACV seems to be a real cure for a lot of things. I just pray the continuation of the ACV & the Vitamin C will continue to keep me from spotting & bleeding, and put me back on track with my periods now that I have had one. Since it helped me rid myself of those warts I hated for so long. I hope this helps someone else.

I agree with Mmsg that Blackstrap Molasses would be something else good to try, in addition to the ACV.
Regarding the ACV, everyone is different. If you try the pills, try a couple a day and see how it does. If you see no change, you could increase to 4 etc. My husband takes 2 a day of the NOW brand. I think they smell terrible. :) But he thinks my vinegar drink tastes terrible! :) You might look at the ACV pages on this website to see warnings (in red) and side effects (in orange) to help you see what possible side effects have been noticed.
You might look for the book by Dr. John Lee called, "What your Doctor may not tell you about pre-menopause." I found it very helpful several years ago.
I hope this will be resolved for you soon!

Why ACV pills? You can just buy the ACV and take it in multiple ways as described right here on EC.

It would be a shame to have to stop something that is helping with the arthritis and weigh loss. My inclination would be to continue for another cycle or two with the vinegar and see how it goes. Perhaps it will level out. Even with the longer cycle, a lighter flow is desirable. If it happens again, you could always try some cayenne or shepherd's purse to see if it will stop the bleeding in a more timely fashion.
I have never noticed ACV affecting my cycle for good or bad and I have taken it for 6 years. But everyone is different. 100 people will share 100 stories on the topic!
Just my 2 cents. Let us know how it goes.

I would go ahead and take it a few days after you period is over. It is safe to take all month long. Some people take it 5 days on and 2 days off.
Let us know if is solves your problem for you!

Most Apple Cider Vinegar is diluted to 5% acidity when you buy it. Most people that use and dilute it further in water to drink it. (I do have a child that just takes the 5% straight and then drinks water, to get it over with.) I like 1 Tablespoon of vinegar in an 8 oz. glass of water. This works great for me.

I was going on holiday at the beginning of August and I was dreading it as I couldn't go swimming like this so 4 days before I went I came on this website and read about Apple cider vinegar, to be honest I thought it was too good to be true and I didnt expect it to work but I went to a health food store and I bought apple cider vinegar and also the apple cider vinegar tablets. I put two tablespoons of water in a glass with some water but I couldnt drink it as it made be gag so I put some orange juice in it but I still couldnt drink it so I had the tablets, within 2 days the bleeding became so light and by the time my holiday came it had completely stopped!! I couldnt believe it I have no idea why this helped.
If anyone is going through the same thing please try ACV as I thought the bleeding would go on forever and im sure it would if I didnt take the tablets! Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to give some hope to people who are going through the same thing.
