[YEA]  09/02/2008: Renna (rennawanda@aol.com) from Bucks County, United States writes: "I woke up another sleepless night-- my arthritis has been the worst this year-- At 51, I thought, I can't believe I am gonna end up in this kind of pain. I read the story from Sandy,from Merced CA and thought how that could be me. Then I read the rest of the stories. It was 6 am, and I thought what do I have to lose. I ran out and purchased ACV- Warmed up a bowl and immediately my hands felt 100% better. I am gonna try the drink mixture later of ACV & Honey. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. THANK YOU ALL."

I cant walk or move without chronic pain. I dont think Ive slept in yrs. There is not an inch on my body that does not hurt, I have two types of arthritis, just diagnosted with deterioration to the spine and hip and I think I have fibromialgia. I have been suffering from severe migraines since I was 13 that put me in the hospital. been on EVERY medication out there and am curently taking 7 different types and I am always tired sad depressed for no reason!! And to top it all off I have gained 65 pounds and cant get ridf of it, I cant do anything let alone barley walk to the bathroom. I remember as a teen wanting to loose that extra 15 20 pounds of "baby fat" and taking ACV in water with a garlic tab and LOOSING the weight like it was nothing! but yet I was always active with horses swimming and sports too... Ive decided to give it a try again starting next week when I go shopping for food in my house and see what it does for me I just cant handle living in this PAIN 24/7 anymore!! Im at the point I wish I just didnt wake up in the mornings cuz it just hurts too much to do it. Keeping my fingers crossed its going to work and be something so simple for me to take away this pain."

[YEA]  02/07/2008: Sue from Vancouver, Canada writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar is the best thing that works for my fathers arthritis. When it gets so painful on his hands and arms he soaks a cloth or hand towel with apple cider vinegar (and wrings it out so that is is not dripping). He then wraps it around his hand and arm and puts a plastic bag over it (because the smell is so strong and also so that it keeps the cloth in tact, and keeps the vinegar of of contact with anything). He leaves this on for about 1/2 hour a few times a day. This really helps reduce the pain and it also gets his hands and fingers mobile again. He does reuse the same saturated cloth several times so he does not need to use so much acv. The other thing that helps him reduce his pain quickly is he heats them up by his wood stove. Out of many things he has tried these are the ones that work for him the best. So good luck. Let others know if this worked for you too. Thanks Ted and everyone else for all the great info."

[YEA]  10/21/2007: Robert Hansell from Pennsburg, Pennsylvania writes: "ACV I have found ACV helps arthritis. Important to measure it as 1 plastic spoonful 3 times a day. For complete elimination of arthritis my wife" knee arthritis, she uses FlexProtect and has found that her knee motion has increased and pain gone. I use Rice'NShine meal replacement powder from http://www.itvventures.com/104134 in my cold rolled oats, milk, fruit juice, broccoli, and seaweed blended breakfast drink every day, and I can ride my bike for miles with no pain anywhere any time."

[YEA]  10/10/2007: Roswita from Seminole, Fl writes: "I strongly urge you to buy only the Organic, raw, unfiltered ACV, without preservatives. I am a 62 year old woman who suffers from arthritis and acid reflux. Every morning I mix 1 tbls ACV with 1 tbls raw honey in a 16 oz glass of lukewarm filtered water. I do the same thing at night time. Only I mix it in 6 to 8 oz water. Otherwise I would be up all night. My arthritis pain has gone away and I no longer suffer from acid reflux."

09/04/2007: Jean from waffham, United kingdom writes: "I have heard that two capfuls of apple cider vinegar, one teasp.molasses sugar, 1 teasp.honey mixed with little hot water and taken daily helps cure arthritis, is this possible?"

Anyway I did begin to take the ACV everyday. I took it twice a day. One day I came to the stairs and walked right up them without any problems. I didn’t think anything about it until I got to the top. Then I thought about what I just did. I couldn’t believe I did that without any pain or effort. From then on, I have been walking stairs and taking long walks without pain. I mean NO pain. I do know it was the ACV drink because for one thing it was the only thing I was doing different at the time. Then I didn’t take the drink for a few weeks. I guess I got lazy. The pain started to come back so I started back on it and the pain stopped immediately Now I take it for about a week and off 2 weeks or more but I don’t have to take it constantly and that’s working out for me. You have to use organic apple cider vinegar not the distilled. It should be 2 tablespoons ACV with the baking soda (so the vinegar won’t harm the teeth) plus 1 tablespoon raw honey in a glass of water. I think in my case the pain went away so slowly, I hadn’t noticed the change until that day I climbed those stairs. Crystal, please don’t give up. It may take a while but I believe it will work for you too."

[YEA]  06/28/2007: Earl from Sydney, Canada writes: "I had joint pain continually in my thumbs... could hardly grip anything... tried ACV..able to use my thumbs again the NEXT DAY... 95% pain gone. I mixed it with orange juice and drank quickly... ran out of orange juice. only juice on hand was Friut Solutions... taste a lot better and easier to get down"

Unfortunately it did not work on a wart on my finger, but then that has been resisting everything (surgery, freezing, caustic pencil, salicylic acid (3 yrs) duct tape) for the last 15 years."

[YEA]  05/12/2007: Dawn (countryattics@yahoo.com) from Lebanon, INDIANA writes: "I have been suffering from partial bowel obstruction from adhesions due to a liposuction that went bad back in the 90's. I have suffered from severe pain, nausea and hemerroids due to the inability to fully cleanse myself out because of the blockage. This has been on going for the past 5 years. I would have an "episode" at least once a week, sometimes 2 and 3 times a week. The pain was unbearable and would literally take my breath away. Since I started taking one shot of ACV daily I have yet to have an "episode". I now have the best movements in years! I am completely amazed! Also, I suffer or should I say used to suffer from arthritis in my hips. I have absolutely no pain at all now and I know it is from the ACV because I haven't done anything else to remedy. I wish someone would have told me about this a long time ago. It is the simpliest thing in the world to do and it is all natural! God Bless Apple Cider Vinegar! If you haven't tried it, YOU SHOULD! Also, my complexion is glowing!"

[YEA]  04/20/2007: Patricia from Welch, WV writes: "I used to drink acv & honey 2 x a day and for some reason stopped. Started noticing a lot of pain in both elbows. Dr. said it was arthritis. Told me to stop lifting weights. I didn't completely stop, but did slow down. Started drinking the acv & honey 2 x a day again, for allergies. While looking at your website, it occured to me that I have not been having pain while lifting weights, even though I had increased the weight amount. I used to not be able to touch the bones on the sides of either elbow without it hurting...I just touched them and there is NO PAIN!! I really hadn't thought about the difference until I was reading your website. ACV & honey will be taken EVERY DAY...TWICE A DAY. Two capfuls of acv & 9 squirts of honey/2 tablespoons full. This stuff REALLY, REALLY, WORKS!!!"

[YEA]  04/15/2007: Pamela from Richmond, VA writes: "I just wanted to say I am truly amazed how ACV works for arthritis. I have little to no joint pain, since I have started taken the ACV cocktail, for two months now. I took pain medicine for years, with not half the benefit of ACV. Thanks so much for your site. It is a blessing. 1/4 cup acv 2oz of cranberry juice 8oz water. Two times a day.If it is to tart add some honey or apple juice it really is refreshing to drink. It really works...Good luck.."

[YEA]  03/17/2007: Marra (Pjmzqrx@aol.com) from Olympia, wa writes: "Well, this is my 4th day using vinegar in hopes of helping my arthritis. Wrote in last week saying I'd let you know how its going. I stand truly amazed. I don't even recognize my body. The aches thus far, are 99% gone. I literally can jump up out of a chair. What an absolute miracle. I am speechless. As for weight? Yes! I've noticed a bit of a change already. Will let you know more."

03/15/2007: Marra from olympia, wa writes: "Two 1/2 years ago, i was diagnosed with two forms of arthritis, osteo-which is throughout my entire spinal column and every joint throughout my body--I also have RA. I am 43 years old. I've successfully held much of the pain at bay with diet & exercise. I am trying ACV for the first time--wish me the best! I will let you know how its going. Thank you for your feedback everyone!"

[YEA]  03/11/2007: Rhonda (forbes2atadelphia.net) from Elizabeth City, North Carolina writes: "I read the articles on this site and started using acv with water. Right away the pain of arthritis went away! I had not been able to work, play or much of anything in over a year. I was getting worse by the day. I had not had a pain free day in over a year! After only one day, it eased up. After 3 days my pain was gone completely!!! I'm not joking here. Those of us with RA know how bad the pain is. I had to stop taking Celebrex because of stomach problems caused by the meds. Now my skin is smoother, I have TONS of energy (not hyper), and just feel better over all. I'm trying to get hubby to give it a try since he has acid reflux and a fuzzy-headed feeling for 6 months now. I'll get him to try it eventually! He's amazed at my lack of pain now. Thank you all so much for posting your findings, it's given me my old self back and I've missed it!"

[YEA]  03/03/2007: Don (bluesscotty@hotmail.com) from Los Angeles, CA writes: "I have tried acv for about three weeks now with little success. I had a problem last night. When I use an extra pillow it seems to work but forgot to last night. I also have arthritis and acv mixed with raw honey has helped so much I have stopped taking syn-flex, a remedy with unknown side affects. I will try the acidophilus. Thanks"

[YEA]  02/15/2007: Eileen from Boston, MA writes: "I have RA and have kept it at bay very successfully for 20 years primarily with an ACV and honey drink (water, 1 tbls acv, 1 tbls honey). I also avoid my trigger foods (for me are Citric acid and red meat) but if I feel any achiness at all coming on its back to my ACV and honey drink for a few days and I am good."

[YEA]  12/26/2006: Edie from Mission Viejo, CA writes: "1 Tablespoon ACV with 2 Tablespoons water a day cured my arthritis and hot flashes. My friend told my husband and I to take ACV for our sore wrists and hands and we started 2 mos. ago. After one mo. I noticed I had absolutly NO hot flashes. This amazed me. I really had them bad night and day. I also noticed no acid reflux (quit taking my prilosec a month ago) and no restless legs to speak of. I also feel I have lost a couple of lbs. Of Course the hand and wrist pain is gone. This is probably crazy but my eyelashes are longer. Pretty funny huh?"

[YEA]  09/16/2006: Christina from Tulsa, OK writes: "I mixed 1 tablespoon of acv with 1 teaspoon of raw honey in 6 oz of water and drank it three times a day. It instantly cured my arthritis, I was suprised. And my appetite is suppressed. I recommend this to anyone , oh and i do not have to take an allergy pill' I highly recommend this to anyone who has any kind of problem. my grandpa used to use this and he is 76 years old healthy."

[YEA]  06/14/2006: Sheri from Auburn Hills, Mi writes: "I originally tried ACV for weight loss; I have a stubborn 20 pounds to lose. I was pleasantly surprised as to how pain-free I became in a matter of a few days. My knees no longer 'click' when I go up stairs. I can bend and squat to play with my children and no longer suffer ankle pain from the effort. My acid reflux is gone as well. When I run out of ACV, in a matter of days, the pain returns and I'm like an old lady once more. It works for me!"

[YEA]  04/03/2006: Mara from Adelaide South Australia writes: "In 1991 I had a cortisone injection in my I would need another every 6 months and would eventually need an operation. Having read Dr Jarvis's cider vinegar book, I drank daily about 500ml of mixture (1 tsp honey, 2 tspns cider vinegar to a glass or cup of water). Although it had no immediate effect, I continued to take it for general health reasons, but after 2-3 months, suddenly realised that I had no pain in hand/wrist. Despite having lazily ceased this practice, I still have no trouble in the hand. Perhaps my recent right hip replacement would not have been necessary had I continued treatment. I have now resumed the habit, making up a litre jug of mixture and drinking it frequently, in hopes of preventing the need for a left hip replacement as some signs of wear are apparent. I am convinced of the benefits, but warn people that it is not a short term fix. On the other hand, 15 years of no pain suggests that it is has a long-term effect. Go for it!"
