Apple Cider Vinegar

I've suffered with bad knee pain for years due to much abuse from sports,injuries,etc. I started on the acv cure 1 week ago (Sunday evening). I noticed on Monday evening at work that I could do deep knee bends repeatedly with no pain!! I usually have to pull myself up when I get down on one knee to work on something. Not anymore!!!Thanks!

Don't believe every thing you read!!! I tried apple cider vinegar for weak knees and it didn't work. I took two table spoons a day for five weeks and it didn't work.When I got off of it about three weeks later my knees started getting better.

I originally tried ACV for weight loss; I have a stubborn 20 pounds to lose. I was pleasantly surprised as to how pain-free I became in a matter of a few days. My knees no longer 'click' when I go up stairs. I can bend and squat to play with my children and no longer suffer ankle pain from the effort. My acid reflux is gone as well. When I run out of ACV, in a matter of days, the pain returns and I'm like an old lady once more. It works for me!

I started ACV two weeks ago for weight control. Every night I get up out of bed to use the bathroom, and every night I hear the loud click of my knees in the quiet house as I stand. Been clicking for years and years. Then three nights ago I got up and no click! I figured I must have stood up differently. The next night again, no click! Then I figured it out - it was the ACV! It is the only thing different in my life. I don't know why it helps, but it sure beats all those expensive supplements that are supposed to add lubrication to your joints but are the size of horse pills and you have to remember to take them three times a day. Anyway, I'm thrilled with finding this natural way to loose weight and get all these added benefits!

I have been in sports all my life and now at 40 I suffered very bad joint problems in knees, shoulders,and back.I have tried everything I could think of after 4 months on apple cider vinegar "tablets" my shoulders and back are as mobile and pain free as when I was 20. My weight training and karate is now pain free.

Yes, I have a story that will amaze you and your readers... I have had 2 knee operations on my right knee within the last 7 years. The last was in December of last year, and without any success, I might add. My knee hurt terribly "every" day. It hurt so bad. It literally felt like I had been walking on a 4x4 strapped to my knee, and it felt like the 2 outside bones in my leg were going to shoot out of my leg with any step....Well, a good friend told me to get unfiltered apple cider vinegar, and to drink a teaspoon in about 4 ounces of water every day. I didn't really believe that it would work. Not as good as he said, but I've been drinking it now for 2 weeks, and oh my god,......"it works"....it really works. The last three days was so hard on my knee, & i was forced to use a crutch, but I woke up this morning, & I had very little pain,.....I was able to walk without pain, & I have no limp.....i haven't walked without a limp in over 2 years....I am definitely a firm believer in apple cider vinegar, and I will drink it every day from now on. I feel so energetic now, & I'm cheerful. The apple cider vinegar really helps with so many things.

I have had 7 surgeries on my knees 4 on one and 3 on the other, I have no knee caps anymore, I can still walk but lately since the last surgery(aug 2012) I have so much pain at times it is unbearable, I am wondering does this apple cider vinegar really work and if so, will it help me cause I feel like I am on my last legs. I see a wheelchair in my near future if I don't do something soon. I will try anything.

Brenda - Since it's not a drug, there is zero risk. You have nothing at all to lose by trying it. If it doesn't work for you, you've lost nothing. And if it does work, HOORAY! :) That's the beauty of alternative/natural treatment. I have read many, many ACV success stories. You won't know if yours will be a success story unless you try it.
Go for it! :)

I would agree that Apple Cider Vinegar may give a lot of help and won't hurt. I notice a difference in my back pain when I let up on using ACV.
Peppermint essential oil is good for pain and healing and so is castor oil. (I use these for lots of things if you read my other posts! ) Massage either into the pained area as needed.
Lots of water is also very good for pain. Symptoms for everything are much worse when your body isn't fully hydrated.
Sugar is very bad for pain and healing. (Too bad it is so delicious! ) Some honey is okay.
Hope you get some relief. My mother has terrible, terrible knees and I have watched her suffer since I was a girl, so I sympathize in that.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the acv but I was in a car accident and also injured my L knee. I had a problem moving it and I was stiff and sore all over back pain and neck pain. I even went to PT 3 times a week for about 4 months. Well I started taking 1 teaspoon of acv in the morning and a couple of times I took 2 teaspoon full of it and I have noticed a real improvement in being that I can now move my knee and less or no pain in my back and neck. How about that. I even told my doctor about it.

My son was having pain on the basketball court with his knees. I started him on vinegar and honey twice a day. Within a couple of weeks he had no more pain. This was two years ago. He won't stop taking it now. It also cleared up his phlegm problem.

I had severe aching and throbbing in both knees this winter. I started taking ACV and honey a couple of weeks ago. From day one my knees started to feel better. Now my knees are pain free no matter how much I walk. Really amazing.
Apple Cider Vinegar

I bought 65% food grade hydrogen peroxide and started taking it as prescribed by recipe I found on internet. I was doing well until I got to 20 drops. I got very nauseated and had to start putting it in milk. My legs got very sore. I imagine that it is due to the cleansing process. I have now changed over to apple cider vinegar which has done away with the soreness in my legs and I am practically free from pain in my knees from Arthritis.

I was having pain in my elbows and a friend told my about ACV, at first I did not think it would work. One night, I woke up about 2:30 am in pain, I said, let me try this stuff.About 15 to 20 minutes after trying ACV the pain went away. To make a long story short, it works and I have be 2 to 3 times a day from that point on.

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.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda

I have suffered with abdominal pain in my sternum area for the past 2 years or more. Finally the pain got so bad, I went to see a gastroenterologist to diagnose my condition. I figured it was an ulcer, but my endoscopy procedure showed that I was suffering from a hiatal hernia as a result of acid reflux. I was prescribed Prevacid to be taken for several months. I traced my problem back to having taken a hefty amount of ibuprofen from past sports injuries and knee surgery. I play basketball for exercise twice a week and wake up every morning with painful, stiff knees. Had I been aware of the negative results of anti-inflamatory drugs years ago, I never would have taken them. Anyway, after reading about the negative side effects of taking chemical drugs for acid reflux, I started praying and searching the web for natural remedies. I came across Ted's Apple Cider Vinegar & Baking soda remedy and have been on it for 3days now. It works great and quickly to relieve the pain of my acid reflux and to my surprise, after my first day of taking the remedy, my stiff, sore knees have been relieved. I played basketball 2days ago and had very minimal soreness and stiffness in my knees the next morning. I was able to climb the stairs in my house with no problem for the the first time in months. During my doctor's visits over the last few months, it has been discovered that my blood pressure is at pre-hypertension levels (138/88). I read several testimonials that users of the ACV remedy have experienced lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I am anxious to have my blood pressure checked again to see if I am experiencing the same results. Hey, the acid reflux is getting under control and my knees don't ache and aren't stiff anymore. 2 down, 1 to go (blood pressure). It amazes me that I was able to come across one solution for all three of my conditions. I believe God directed me to this site for a reason. I will report back about my blood pressure once I get my next reading. Great stuff!!

If you don't add additional potassium to counter the salt in the baking soda you may find that your blood pressure rises on this regimen.
