APPLE CIDER VINEGAR READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  03/26/2006: Mark from Fairbanks, Alaska writes: "I took Tums for years, then aciphex for 6 years now. Aciphex worked for 5 of the 6 years. Now the reflux is back. Just started the ACV a few days ago. Seems to help some. I think I need to get with it with my diet. The coffee is a bad habit and I know it is a big part of the problem. So is alcohol..in any form. Interesting.. had to fast for a day for a EGD, and had no reflux problem while fasting."

[YEA]  03/22/2006: Monica from Lawrenceville, GA writes: "Thank goodness I located your site - quite accidentally. I read the messages. My eyes bugged open and I said I would try it. It worked. Now I don't want to go a day without it. I also just had a colonoscopy and I was clean and clear! I feel this also helped the results. I hope my cholesterol is going to lower as well, and lose weight with this cheap and wonderful solution to so many health problems. No more prescriptions to destroy my body. Thank the Good God."

[YEA]  03/16/2006: Dennis from Hudson, MA writes: "Hi, I have had acid reflux for the past 30 years. Tried all the drugs that they could supply. All the while using over the counter drugs too. I have been on Nexium for the past 43 1/2 yrs, and about a year and a half ago, I started with heart palpitations and hot flash/sweats, breathing trouble, coughing and throwing up, etc. Many tests later, everything seemed fine. Stopped the Nexium and after 3 weeks, all my symptoms are gone, but the acid reflux came back and strong! ACV has worked for me. Thanks and feeling much healthier."

[YEA]  03/10/2006: Jillian from Richlands NC writes: "I did not actually hear about this remedy on this site but have tried the ACV out of pure desperation to cure heartburn and I am a firm believer! I had heartburn for weeks, chewed up an entire large bottle of antacids to no avail. I took 1 tbsp of vinegar and before the awful taste was out of my mouth my heartburn was GONE! It did not return for many months and I repeated the ACV dose. It's been a year and a half and I've had 4 doses of the ACV and it does such a great job removing the heartburn pain!"

[YEA]  03/05/2006: Douglas from Cleveland, OH writes: "I'tried Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for my very painful throat and was pleased at the result (after the initial 2 minute breaking period). I believe it is the production of saliva and mucus that it enhances that is actually at work. I have supported this theory by using other astringic liquids; Listerine (gargle), orange juice and they work also. I now actively promote swallowing of saliva whenever possible. I have also started the old tradition of taking a walk after meals which seems to help the digestion. The concentration of ACV that I take is very small, just enough to promote mucus formation. Try other fruit juices and see if they work for you. Oh, and don't sit still for too long!"

[YEA]  03/03/2006: Angie from Lake Charles, LA writes: "I've always believed in home remedies so I decided to search acid reflux home remedy. After all the positive feedback, I had to run out to health food store and purchase a bottle. I can most certainly say IT WORKS and almost immediately. I recently started having chest pains and trouble digesting food, it felt like it was stuck in my throat. I am blessed to have found this site, I know my guardian angel directed me right to it! Thanks."

[YEA]  03/03/2006: Brian from Pinellas Park, FL writes: "I've been mixing up the remedy for Acid Reflux with includes 12 oz. of light apple juice from the supermarket and 2 tbl spoons of cheap apple cider vinegar. I haven't taken a pill in two days now. It worked immediately for me. I had a very severe case before I found this cure and I wish I'd found it sooner!"

[YEA]  03/01/2006: Greg from NYC writes: "Started apple cider vinegar yesterday, I didn't take my protonix today and my throat is not burning and my meals are digesting well. I have been taking 40mg of protonix a day for about a year and have become addicted to them. Without protonix my throat gets all irritated and I get heart burn. I started taking zantac and it worked real well but a doc recommended protonix and gave me a 1 week sample. I think the sample made my GERD way worse and I became addicted to protonix and was not able to stop taking them or it felt like acid was shooting up my throat. I hope this method works as the other times I quit protonix cold turkey like this I suffered greatly. My mom said her uncle always said apple cider vinegar was great for you to take daily and is amazed I found this on the net."

[YEA]  02/27/2006: Amber from Lansing MI writes: "I was prescribed to Nexium, but due to insufficient funds, being a full time student, and working 2 fulltime jobs at odd hours, I couldn't fill my prescription. My grandmother, who is a nurse and has the same ailments was prescribed to nexium and told me one day that she would give me one to see if it helped me. Her friend happened to over hear her and told me that she was addicted to nexium, that it cured her stomach from acid reflux, but she was paying 70$ a month for it, she told me about apple cider vinegar and told me to try it. Since sticking to this for 4 weeks straight now, I have only had the pain in my stomach once, and it was very mild (most of the time before it was such an intense pain I would keel over)... Yes, getting over the taste is one thing with apple cider vinegar, but it saved me from being in pain 24/7."

[YEA]  02/23/2006: Susie from \'Mineola, New York writes: "I have been suffering from GERD for a few months now and was up to 30mg of Prevacid, which has not been working. The symptom is constant coughing all day and I had to watch everything I ate. My sister told me about ACV, how she took it when she felt like she was having a heart attack from a reflux episode and it went completely away. I bought a bottle and took a tablespoon with a glass of water with a meal, sipped it slowly. At first the coughing got worse for a few minutes and then my coughing went completely away. It's been two days and I have been eating everything I like again, and in larger amounts. I am weaning myself from the Prevacid, only took 15mg today, and have been drinking the vinegar with my meals. I feel a lot better and my coughing is greatly diminished. I didn't think it would work, but it does."

[YEA]  02/22/2006: Marilyn from Lansing, MI writes: "I'have had Acid Reflux/Gerd and a history of Ulcerative Colitis and Gastric Ulcers for over 10 years. I just went through my 5th Endoscopy last week and will have my 7th colonoscopy next week. I currently have 2 ulcers that are healing. I am in constant pain from the back of my throat down to my gut with belching and food retching. I have taken just about every pill that a doctor can prescribe for these conditions, from Prevacid to Protonix, to Nexium, but can't seem to get full relief. If I eat anything with fiber like raw vegetables, or whole grains or any carbs, I am in utter misery for hours - as many as 8 hours later I am retching up acid. I just found your site today out of desperation. I tried the vinegar trick and already the belching has subsided and the throat isn't so constricted. I hope it continues to give me relief even though it sounds ludicrous to add acid to acid. I thank you for the info and will continue to visit this website daily."

[YEA]  02/20/2006: Karen from Long Beach, CA writes: "Thank you for being here! What a relief to know natural remedies do work. It's a shame physicians and pharmaceutical companies can't "work with us" (the patients) instead of trying to use us to make money for themselves. I guess that's what being ignorant (lacking knowledge) is all about. If you don't research answers for yourself, you may remain ignorant and get taken advantage of. Thank you, thank you."

[YEA]  02/08/2006: Amy writes: "This website is very informative and quite helpful! I have been taking Nexium on and off for about 4 years now. For this past year, I had been taking 3 each morning, one hour before I ate (I had ulcers on my esophagus!!). It was working for a bit, but recently stopped working all together. Over time, these meds are not good to take because they can actually produce other stomach problems like excessive bile. This can also damage the esophagus. Therefore, after searching for natural remedies for acid reflux, I found this site. I have been drinking two tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar, organic or course, 3 times a day. I find that I still have a little acid, but it is much better. I also notice that my skin is looking better also. There are so many benefits from Apple Cider Vinegar. Hey, it can't hurt. It is all natural. If it helps to keep the acid away, then we will be all set. THANKS to this website, and all of the viewers helpful comments. Please keep it up!"

[YEA]  02/08/2006: Ainsley from NY writes: "It works! It works! First after taking the apple cider the acid reflux increases for about 1 minute, then eventually the pain leaves."

[YEA]  02/08/2006: Donna from Atlanta, GA writes: "Apple cider vinegar as a cure for acid reflux is a miracle. I've had reflux for years and have tried everything, you name it. My sister told me about ACV. It worked within 10 minutes. What a blessing. To hell with those greedy pharmaceutical companies. They should be ashamed of themselves."

This is the best thing since glucosamine. I sleep all night now and wake up feeling wonderful. And my cheeks are suddenly rosy!. (I'm not kidding). I also read where it seems to dissolve bony growths forming in joints. And guess what? You guessed it. It helps with weight loss and dissolving fat. (I can't attest to that yet) Try it! Tell your friends and families who might be having arthritis or indigestion issues."

[YEA]  02/06/2006: Bonita from Los Angeles, CA writes: "I had a cold/bronchitis for a few weeks, and then developed a severe case of acid reflux on top of that. I had a violent, persistent and productive cough, lost my voice, and was exhausted because I couldn't sleep because of the coughing. I started taking Prilosec OTC but it didn't help. Out of desperation, I tried taking some Apple Cider Vinegar after finding this site. I had immediate improvement the night I took it and was finally able to get some rest. I continued taking it once in morning and once at night, and now I'm not coughing at all and the reflux is gone. I'll be honest, it didn't feel very pleasant going down, but a few minutes after I took the first dose, I noticed improvement. Thanks to everyone who said it worked and mentioned how much and how often they took it."

[YEA]  02/02/2006: Kwana from Memphis writes: "HI,three months ago I found out I have acid reflux. They prescribed me nexium, I couldn't afford it so a coworker advise me to use applecider vinegar for my reflux. Now I have problems when I get stress but otherwise it helps me. Thank god for applecider vinegar and for this web site. P.S. now I use both items."

[YEA]  01/30/2006: Zsean from Newark, DE writes: "Hi: my company just changed insurance plans for prescriptions. I have been taking nexium for 2.5 years and the insurance company now used will not provide me with my nexium. They have now become my doctors telling me what to take first and supposedly have levels towards nexium. This overrides the doctor authority on prescribing medication. I came across this site and I am so glad that someone placed this out there. GOD BLESS YOU. This is amazing. I do not feel pain or tired. I want to say THANK YOU!"

[YEA]  01/30/2006: Bob from Tuscon, AZ writes: "I have had some digestive issues for a while. Apple Cider Vinegar has helped significantly. I am not sure why it has helped, but I am glad I gave it a chance."

[YEA]  01/28/2006: Joyce from Reeds Spring, MO writes: "I read about vinegar for acid reflux in a book and am occasionally bothered by this condition. I tried just swallowing a teaspoon on apple cider vinegar and low and behold. It worked. I was told that vinegar neutralizes acid and acid reflux is caused by too much acid in the stomach. So soon we get old. So late we get smart."

[YEA]  01/26/2006: Fernando from Fort Myers, Florida writes: "I suffered from acid reflux for TOOOO many years I'm 54 now, my cousin told me about your website and the cure with vinegar, after eating some prunes my pain started all over and I decided to try vinegar, IT'S WONDERFUL it works. Prilozec was not working anymore not effective at all, started taking twice a day and did not respond as planned. Today after only 4 days I decided to stop the medication and continue with vinegar. Thanks to all who made this possible. Best regards, Fernando."

[YEA]  01/25/2006: Gary from Melboune, Australia writes: "I have suffered from reflux for years and heard about apple cider vinegar so thought I'd give it a try. My wife bought some home and I was actually suffering severe pain from reflux when she arrived. 2 teaspoons later and I am sitting here completely cured. Thankyou sooooo much!"

[YEA]  01/21/2006: Daniel from Phoenix, AZ writes: "my voice left me and i went to get it checked out and the specialist said nothing was wrong with my vocal cords. he diagnosed me with reflux. i took prevacid but it didn't help. my homie found this site for me and a few minutes ago i tried some apple cider vinegar. my voice has been gone for 3 months. i hope these tips help because i feel like im at the end of it all. i'll keep everyone posted on if the vinegar helped."
