Years ago, my research on health tonics lead me to drinking ACV daily but I never enjoyed it, ..eventually stopped. But I, just 2 days ago read many of the testimonials on this site and decided to try it again. I doused cotton pats with it and kept them in the fridge. The first time I held one with my buttocks (love that word..but-tocks! Funny) against the roids, it stung like crazy for about 15 minutes, but subsided and I kept it there all night. Next a.m. swelling gone down greatly but was sore I felt from the acidic personality of the vinegar. (I use only organic ACV for good measure. Also a part of the Gerson's is organics).

It's working in that the pain from the roids is gone and I've had no blood streaking since I started. There seems to be thicker skin down there or something. Seemed like I could think about touching a roid and it'd break out singing opera and gushing bloody tears. But now, I can wipe and everything with no pain or tears. I've also started garlic, canned garlic in oil is good, and Im taking Horse chestnut tincture because I'd already ordered it before finding this website.

Thank you so much. I've suffered for quite a while and it has begun getting worse lately. But now I feel there is hope that me and my great down under will get along.

A sidenote...when I've washed my hair the last 2 days, I've found less in the tub afterward. Make sense? I read years ago that ACV used to be given to cows to encourage birthing and hormonal health. Seems ridiculous a farmer could make enough of the stuff or afford to buy enough to feed such a large animal, but only I wonder about these things it appears. So, wonder if the ACV is propping up the few hormones I may have left or turning the clock back a bit for this 60 year old. Either way, I endorse the use of ACV and will continue using it likely for the rest of my life, such is my excitement for blessed relief.
