Hi there! I recently tried your revised recipe for daily drinking of ACV. I'm not sure if it was supposed to happen or not. Possibly just detoxing, but oh how annoying, My face started breaking out. Nothing I couldn't handle. They actually cleared up quite quickly. What scared me a bit, though, was that my tongue started breaking out, too!! It really hurt when I brushed my teeth and tongue as I usually do. I drank this for approx. 2 weeks, throughout the day, until I could no longer tolerate the pain in my mouth. Did I stop too soon? Did I go too long? When I first started, it was within hours that I felt my mouth drying out and imagined my body was doing the same. it surprised me, later, when I started breaking out.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! And thanks for all you're doing here!

Better But With Side Effects

I have just started using this ACV, but I am not sure if I have been using it incorrectly, I was taking it 1teaspoon to a tablespoon in a glass of cold water WITHOUT honey, four times, and I tend to get these dizzy spells and feeling light headed and yawning all the time, even though my sinuses are better but I sometimes feel horrible and even feel I need to eat all the time, am I using it incorrectly and is the absence of honey to my dosage causing some imbalance somewhere, somehow, or does the feeling go away in time? Please help!

Greetings! After reading about Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic and Raw Honey, I made the solution and began to take it just in the mornings (1 tbsp in 1 cup of water). I took it to reduce my blood pressure. Instead, my blood pressure shot up to 160/110 in a couple of days. It was already at 140/100. Has this happened to anyone before? This is the 2nd time I did this. The first was with ACV, baking soda and mollasses. At that time I assumed the baking soda was the source, but now I am really surprised this happened with the ACV. Any suggestions??

Has anyone else experienced a increase in appetite while taking the ACV. I have been taking the unfiltered on for about 3 weeks and I am experiencing an increase in appetite and sugar cravings. I have always had sugar cravings. But, I thought the ACV would slow it down.

When I take ACV it gives me acid reflux. I've only tried it a couple times & used to drink it all the time, years ago & it definitely is good for weight loss. Why would that be? Has anyone else had this problem & if so does anyone have any other suggestions for acid reflux? It's really making me miserable. I'm losing sleep because of it. I've been taking Baking Soda with pure water but that doesn't even help much anymore.

Hi I just started taking acv, 3 times a day with water and nothing else -I also apply topically to my face - sometimes have mild acne with a random not so mild deep cyst on my face now and then normally after menstrual cycle.

my face looks so much better in a short period of time but my sinuses are so much worse, I have had sinuses problems for many years have tried just about everything- I also do not eat sugar and dairy very rarely -

i wake up feeling sick every day with flu like symptoms and I have a "river" of mucus dripping on the back of my throat-the back of my eyes hurts -even my ears feel full, they dont hurt it just seems like I am far - the wonderful rosy glow I had the first few days is now gone too!

my lower back hurts a little don't know if related and suddenly I also seem to have discharge clear and odorless nothing worrisome - but it is out of the ordinary

i am wondering if this is because I am de-toxin somehow or I might be allergic to Apple Cider Vinegar ?

i should also mention that I am hypothiroid under control with armour

i have been taking primrose oil for a few years now

just in case I will tell you that I started putting castor oil drops in my eyes before I go to bed I have pteglyum in both eyes and had a pimple like growth on my tear duct that has disappeared in 2 days ( have had it for a few years too)this is sooo wondeful!

my eyes are completely blood shot where pteglyum is all veins seem to have gotten irritated at the same time so I am wondering if it is all connected somehow

thanks so much I love this site!!!!

I know this is probably contradictory to all who have found ACV an excellent treatment for boils but for me it was the opposite. I had never suffered from boils previously but within a few days of taking ACV, a large boil would appear. Initially, I thought it was possibly eliminating toxins in my body through these boils but the only way to stop outbreaks was to cease the ACV. Free from boils for a few months and then retrialling ACV again would cause yet another outbreak. I tried this four times, all with the same effect. I changed nothing in my diet or environment such as detergents etc.

On the positive side, I loved the diuretic effect of the ACV and I definitely had more energy as it levelled my blood sugar level. No, I am not a diabetic. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Better But With Side Effects

A couple months ago when I had a very bad cold I found this site and tried a few different concoctions of ACV to be able to swallow. Everything I tried worked Great! However, I have a side effect that when I am sick or healthy that I do not know is normal and would like to hear if anyone else is effected the same way or a way to get around it.

My side effect when taking ACV is that I lose my ability to taste completely for the entire day. I have tried different ways of drinking ACV with warm water and honey, or 2 tsp to 18oz of water or the _____'s recipe on the bottle. Either way I lose my ability to taste and sometimes smell. Again is this normal? I sip not gulp down. I have tried a straw and still no luck. Thank you for your reply.

HI! Ted. Since january 2012 I had a stomach pain. I went to the doctor I got some antibiotic but from those antibiotic I had an allergies the allergies that almost kill me I got pain on my heart and chest! Until I got an heartburn and like a panic attack! I came across on ur site about ACV. Good for Acid reflux I tried it already for 4 days sometimes I put it on my food.. But after I use ACV my stomach pain is gone but after in a minute the pain came back and I felt bloating even to go to the toilet for pee became quite difficult and I even feel itchy down below!! Now sometimes I feel my lower stomach is pain. DO you think is ACV is not for? Does I need stop drinking on it? I afraid that I got a kidney stone. Coz I can see in 4 days sometimes my PEE is dark and with some bubbles on it? Please advice!!
