5 out of 5 stars

In January of this year I was getting headaches and an uneasy feeling---feeling out of sorts. I am a nurse, so I had other nurses take my blood pressure and it was elevated 160/90. This just added to my anxiety because, as a nurse, I know of the devastating effects of not treating hypertension. A coworker has been on a health kick and swears by a 'tonic' that helps 'everything'. I too decided to try it. I mixed 1 cup of _______ vinegar, 1 cup raw honey and 8 cloves of garlic in a blender for about a minute. I then poured it in a clean glass pickle jar, put the lid on it and kept it in the fridge for 5 days. All this time I was checking my BP and was getting consistent readings of 150 to 170 systolic over 86 to 94 diastolic. On the 5th day, I shook my 'tonic', poured 2 tablespoons in a half glass of low sodium V8 and did this once a day for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks, doing NOTHING differently except taking this everyday, I have a miracle to report. I no longer have headaches when I'm running up and down the halls, no more uneasy feelings----and the reason? My BP is back to normal. My readings are now 120 to 130 over 78 to 86, over and over again!!! NO ONE WILL EVER TELL ME THIS DOESN"T WORK ---I HAVE PROFESSIONAL WITNESSES! About 90% of the staff on my floor are converts....Something so simple with none of the side effects my patients are on with some drugs we dispense like candy. Don't be foolish---see how good you feel after a few weeks on this stuff....I feel like a kid again and even sleep soundly! That in itself is worth a million bux.

Kathy,

Just finished two weeks of trying the a ACV with garlic and V-8 and experienced zero difference in my blood pressure.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

That could be because V8 is loaded with table salt which is horrible for you!

Hi Alan, did you have any other effects from the Apple Cider Vinegar and garlic, other improvements in your health or any ill effects? Wondering if the garlic you used was home grown, organic bought or imported (most likely chemical sprayed). The Apple Cider Vinegar should still have delivered some benefits even if it wasn't raw with mother. Other things you could look into are Magnesium, hawthorn, beetroot.

Best to you.

Any updates

Can we use honey if we have hypoglycaemia?

Omit the honey, it will cause sugar spikes which it counter productive to what you are trying to achieve.
