Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda Tonic Health Benefits

I added 1 tsp baking soda to my 8 oz glass of water with 2 Tsp of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, all in an effort to increase the alkalinity in my body. What I can report tonight is that the strong vinegar aroma that can make me gag was nearly eliminated after the fizzing stopped. It was actually a pleasant drink! I wonder, though, did the baking soda eliminate some of the ACV benefits.

Better But With Side Effects

I have been taking 2 tbs ACV and 1/4 ts baking soda in a glass of water twice a day on empty stomach for three weeks, 5 days on 2 days off according to Ted's instruction. I have been taking it for over all health. I am reducing my weight much faster, more energy, clear thinking, better sleep, no more constipation. I am feeling great. But this remedy makes me urinate frequently. I don't have any kidney problem. Is this normal while on this remedy? or Is this side effect of baking soda? Has any body experienced frequent urination with this remedy? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have been reading all the comments and what I don't understand is how BOTH ACV and Baking Soda can help - are they opposites? ACV is acid and Baking soda is alkaline, right?

on the cleanse with Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda and eating fruits, veggies, nuts and lean meat while drinking plenty of water what can we expect the elimination process to be? how long should I do the Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda? thanks

can I eat after drinking ACV and baking soda??

Dear Ted, Ive got myself VERY worried reading all the ACV posts and yours to add bicarb soda. Whenever I did that I was severely ill. I have low stomach acid, addisons and too much ca & mg in tissues and ca blocking arteries. I thought any one of those could explain the EXTRA pain to what I normally have & the nausea by adding bicarb. BUT if I dont Im making myself more acidic. And my saliva & urine show up as being very acidic. Now Im thinking I shouldnt take it at all & I'll miss out on all the benefits everyone talks of. Also the vit c I take - the only one I could find without ca just ascorbate. Is that making me too acidic also?

First time I ever tried Apple Cider Vinegar and bs I loved it, it cleaned my whole system completely out also for many years and because of this fungal virus I have had the hardest time moving my bowels, but after using Apple Cider Vinegar and bs I won't be needing other remedies. I will be taking a rest after this long bout of cleaning house, soon I will be back on the journey of Apple Cider Vinegar and bs again for more complete cleaning of my system. I also use it with my kitten I found in the street almost dead, I found one thing she had was internal parasites and very high acidic invironment and Apple Cider Vinegar did the trick, she is well strong and thriving.

Can I mix up ACV & B.S. In say 1 litre of water for a whole day or does it have to be done just before I use it? joyce

Can I continue my 1oz of Apple Cider Vinegar a day and begin taking a tsp of Baking Soda mixed in 8oz of water? I realize these two substances when combined create a volcano but I was going to ingest them 12 hours apart. Will they still have their individual positive effects or will they essentially cancel each other out?

Hello & may I say that this site is a g-dsend!

If I read one of the posts correctly, do I understand that adding Bicarb of Soda to ACV can rob the body of potassium? If that's the case, could Potassium Bicarb be added instead of Sodium Bicarb?

Keep up the good work.

I noticed some people in their posts talk of adding baking soda to their daily ACV. What exactly is the reason for adding baking soda to apple cider vinegar. How does it benefit the body?

1. Thank you for Thieves Oil. My printer cooperated and I now have a hard copy.

2. Today I actually measured things and found that 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda does not get the apple cider vinegar up to 7. It is below 6.8 which is the lowest on the scale. I tried it twice and it was the same. What to do? Thanks if you know something.

hello and thanks for the great information on this website. I'm trying to deal with my sleeping problems and want to try the ACV and baking soda... can it be mixed with orange juice? I have already been taking the ACV with orange juice, it tastes better. Is it ok to mix with baking soda though? Thanks so much.... Pilarcita

I'm curious if ACV and baking soda can be mixed ahead of time, instead of measuring and mixing the two together 3 times a day? Thanks!

EC: Ted mentioned in one of his Q&A posts that apple cider vinegar and baking soda should NOT be pre-mixed.

Sure hope you can settle this for me. I'm sure I am way to acid to be healthy after having read all the things acidity causes. I was all set to go get apple cidar vinegar and baking soda but than I read a post by someone back in 2007 which scared me, Should I be taking this with the 3 medications I'm on to control the blood pressure? I'm 61 and would love to have more energy, lose 20 pounds and relieve the joints. Thanks in advance for your response.
