APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[NAY]  07/16/2008: Ashley from Toronto, Canada writes: "I gained lots of weight during my 2 pregnancies, but I lost it all but these awful 8-10 lbs. It's been 2 years since I had my 2nd child. I exercise, watch what I eat, avoid pop/soda, processed foods, etc. But I cannot get rid of these 10 lbs!!! When I found this website and read the reviews and I was so ecstatic thinking that I had finally found a natural remedy to boost my weight loss. I've been taking organic ACV with 'mother' for 3 weeks now. (2Tbs in 1C of water before bed). I regret to say that I have NOT noticed much difference in any aspect of my life - energy level is the same, no changes in skin condition, as many posters witness.. And most importantly, I have noticed that since I've started taking ACV my appetite has doubled. Maybe it's only my peculiar reaction but still wanted to share my observation."

Only serious negative thing was that my blood work showed that I was seriously anemic, so I stopped the vinegar and now I am fine. I guess it washed nutrients as well."

[NAY]  07/08/2008: Cassey from Adamstown, PA writes: "when i was 18 i became pregnant, i weighed about 105lbs. right before my first check up.

i weighed 147 the day i left the hospital and have had such a battle with my weight ever since...i have been as heavy as 160, but normally my weight fluctuates between 150 and 155 and i just stay there...i've tried weight watchers and it worked but i only lost about 1lb a week, it was too slow for me and i lost my interest. i've tried running, biking, exercise vidoes, diet pills from tv, everything..i can't seem to lose weight and it's so frustrating. I don't want to go out anywhere becuase i'm so uncomfortable and embarrased. I am getting married next summer to my son's father :) and I am so ready to be healthy and look healthy for our big day!

I have been using the ACV and honey remedy for a week and a 1/2. I use Organic Apple cidar vinegar with the "mother" they call it (very impportant to use orangic so it is not pastuerized, processed, filtered, or heated, you want all the enzymes and everything!)
and then i use raw organic honey fresh from my fiance's grandfather's hive. also very important that no ingredients are added, it is not boiled or heated.. so that you get all of the enzymes and good stuff that would normally be cooked and killed off during the processing.

i mix 1 tablespoon of each and dilute with about 4oz. room temp. water,-just enough so i can down it quick! it's also ok to use chilled water i've done the research.

i do this 3 times a day.

i have not lost any weight yet, but my skin is clearer and it does help to suppress my appetite so i'm going to stick with it for a while and see what happens. I also have more energy and the taste is getting better.

If anyone has any advice or other tips please feel free to fill me in!! i am a person that can't seem to commit to one weigthloss fad and i am so tired of it! i really want this to work!

thanks and good luck to everyone!"

After reading the weight loss section using apple cider vinegar, I decided to purchase one myself. I took three tablespoons in a filled up bottled water luke warm, not too cold. I took it three times in one day. I had measured myself before on my waist and it was 44 inches. I woke up the next day and it was 37-38 inches!!! I lost about 7-8 inches on my waist in one night!! I can't believe this. I will continue to do this for the rest of the weekend and see any more difference. This is the begening of July, my current weight now is 175. At the very last day of July, I will post my current weight and waist measurements."

But I also have taken a b12 shot and started taking vitamin b-100, which has b6, b12 and b1. And I take a vittamin c daily. I take 2 tablespoons of acv with one 16oz bottle water 2 two times a day. I was wondering why some people are taking in warm. It tatse better cold and that's the way i take it. but is there a benefit to taking it warm that I have missed? any replies would be great. thank you. Tammy"

I just started Oil Pulling for my overall health and dental since I don't have a fortune to spend on my teeth.
Bless all of you and your health. You can do it!"

Within the first week I noticed it killed my sugar/chocolate cravings & I was eating about 30% less @ each meal. I lost 17lbs this month. However.. I did start at 365lbs & have a LONG way to go. Now I feel there is some hope. Thank you."

[YEA]  05/21/2008: Addie from Gainesville, FL writes: "WEIGHT LOSS: 9 yrs ago when I got pregnant- I was 28yrs old (5'2 tall/small boned) and weighed 104 lbs. Just prior to delivery I weighed 178 lbs. After having my son I just could not lose the weight. I walked on a treadmill- over 8 miles a day, as well as rollerblading- 3-5 x's a week. I even went on the heart surgery patient diet. When I did eat "normal foods" I cut my portion sizes in half. No alcohol. No sodas. I was absolutely starving to death, grumpy and had no energy. I started looking for an alternative to my extreme diet plan. I heard about the ACV remedy from a friend and started taking 1 tablespoon 2 x's a day (not diluted.) I kept a journal on my inches. You know, bust, ribs, waist, butt and thighs (even my calves.) Within a month I had noted a 2 - inch lose in my waist and additional signs elsewhere. I had overall fitness and wellbeing. In 7 months was back to 108 lbs and stopped using the remedy.

Over my lifetime- I have not been one to watch what I eat and never 'exercise. ((Bad habit when you cross the 35yr old mark)) My weight stayed really good until 2 years ago.

I am now (37yo) at 138 lbs. So in less than 2 years I have gained 35 lbs. Not only have I went up 4 dress sizes, I feel like crap w/ backaches, bloating and low energy... Take vitamins daily (Zinc, prenatal vitamin, E and a one a day. Eat "healthy" (lots of fruit and veggies) with low sodium and low fat content.

I started looking online for homeopathic remedy for weightloss. I came across this site and decided to start the ACV regimen again (2 tablespoons daily.) I have lost 2 inches in my waist and 8 lbs in a week. I have more energy and the bloated feeling is gone. Hoping an additional weightloss will help my aching back.

I will keep you posted."

Put in a bottle and let sit for a few days and then put 2-3 T. in a 32 oz. bottle of pure water and drink throughout day. Have u heard of this? Thanks, Vanessa."

[YEA]  03/10/2008: Tracy from Sunshine Coast, Australia writes: "My husband was not happy with his weight, he had always been fit and healthy looking until he lost the lower part of his leg in an accident, so after reading on this site that ACV was good to lose weight he tried that, as he cant exercise as much as someone with two legs, he lost in the 1st week 5kg, we couldnt believe it, he didnt really change his way of eating just had 3 table spoons of AVG morning and night, he also said it takes away the cravings to eat junk food that he may have had on the odd occassion, he is now 94kg and was 104kg that was 4 weeks ago he started this. He has slowed down in dropping the weight now, but I think that is because he has lost what was not healthy, all that yukky fat, we all hate. I hope this works for someone else, give it a go, it is cheap, so you have nothing to lose but FAT!!!"

[YEA]  02/25/2008: SimpleMD from Clarksburg, WV writes: "Okay ...it might sound lil crazy as I am a physician myself who totally believes in Alternative Medicine for herself and her family. Anyway...I suffered from acne all my life always putting something on my face to treat it nothing worked. I accidently found this website 3 weeks ago ...tried the Hydrogen peroxide on acne leisons and my face is clear new leisons go away in less than 24 hrs ...in addition to that I apply coconut oil to my face and neck its the best moisturizer I ever used doesnt aggrevate my acne at all. After yrs of hiding under make up my face is clearing up and complexion has a glow to it. I went overboard with different things I guess but all are working. I take 1 tsf of molasses in my tea in the morning (hoping to get rid of gray hair) 1 apple cider tablet couldnt stand drinking it ... also apply it topically after cleaning my face with H2O2 and then coconut oil externally ...wipe off excess and you are good to go ...I am thankful to all of you who have written the feed backs and remedies.I am 36, people think of me in my late twenties now lost 8 lbs in less than one month with these ACV tabs and everything else am doing I guess..everyone should give it a try better than many expensive creams and meds. Good Luck all...and thank you Earth Clinic:"

[YEA]  02/04/2008: Isolda Burlesque from Manchester, UK writes: "Whilst visiting Scandinavia two years ago I visited "Overskottsbolaget," a discount store selling everything from axes to ladies underwear, lawnmowers to baked beans, and amongst the vitamins I found tubes of soluable ACV, produced by a company called 'body boost'. I had noticed that ACV was widely drunk in sweden, being available in Tetra packs in the supermarket, and was intrigued.I brought home a couple of the tubes (they were packed like sterident, in plastic tubes) and tried it. Nothing happened and I stopped using it, and for a while they languished in the back of the cupboard. Five months later I found them again and started using them, as a drink in warm water. Believe it or not I lost nearly 28 pounds in a month. I still ate as normal, never dieted, didnt do any strenuous exercise.The strange thing was I never noticed, not at first and it was other people who have said, "wow look at you loosing weight!" Not only this, I suffer from Rhuematoid Arthritis and ME ( only mildly) and during the time of taking the ACV, never had an attack of either. And, even more..a mild skin complaint cleared up and my skin and eyes looked clearer and fresher. I have no other explanation other than it being the ACV. On another visit to Sweden last August saw me emptying Overskottsbolaget of their ACV, and apparently my contacts over there say they havent seen any since! I have recently started to take it again to lose a few pounds before a function in March..fingers crossed!"

[YEA]  01/28/2008: Kari from Saint Joseph, Missouri writes: "I lost 75lbs in 8 months using apple cider vinegar and garlic. I bought the tablets for both instead of drinking the vinegar because I just threw up instead. Also bear in mind this weight loss happened without changing my diet and not exercising so it would probably work even better doing those things. I did up my water intake partially because I was advised to and also I did find myself wanting it. In addition to weight loss I had regular bowel movements and tons of energy. I had relief to many common illnesses and conditions."

01/23/2008: Karen from Silver Spring, MD writes: "[QUESTION] Hello to anyone reading this. New to the site. Viewer response seems so positive re: ACV particularly for weight loss. I was wondering does any particular brand work better than others? I just purchased "White House-ACV-All Natural" from the grocery store. Now I'm concerned that it might not be good to take because of the high acidity level-5%. I mixed 2 tablespoons ACV with 8 ounces of V8 juice and the taste isn't bad at all. I'm trying to lose 30 lbs in addition to exercise and read about the added energy many of you have stated receiving using ACV. Is what I'm taking safe? I'd appreciate any feedback! Thanks in advance!"

[YEA]  01/19/2008: Elizabeth from NYC, NY writes: "I commented on my own weight loss about a year ago. But, I wanted to tell you that I told a group of men whom I was having dinner with about ACV for weight loss. I was really telling them b/c one of their wives was ill and I thought it could help her and then I told them about your site and my weight loss. 10 months latter I get a phone call from one of the guys (who is about 45y/o) and he is going on and on about how much he loves ACV. He lost 47 pounds just by drinking it. Another ACV success story. I love earthclinic.com. You guys rock!!"

I have lots of energy and look 38 instead of 50. My whole entire Family takes Vinegar I take it 3 times a day before 15-30 min before meals."

[YEA]  01/12/2008: Lenore from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin writes: "I'd always had bouts of eczema on my hands when I was under stress, but, for reasons unclear to me, I started to get it on my ears and forehead as well; it went on for months, and sometimes it looked like I had thick dandruff at the hairline. It was horrible. I tried all the usual prescription treatments, to no avail. I'd get a few days relief, then it would come back with a vengeance. So I figured, vinegar? Unlikely, but what do I have to lose? So I mixed 1/3 organic acv with 2/3 water in a spray bottle and misted the affected areas three times a day. And I started taking a tablespoon of undiluted acv each night. I first tried drinking it in a glass of water, but the taste was so horrible, I could scarcely manage half of it. So I got empty capsules and filled them, which was much less noxious an experience. The upshot, however, is that I'm flat-out amazed. Two weeks of this regimen, and the eczema is gone! The only other change I made was to put vaseline on those areas to keep them moist. Moreover, as an extra added bonus, I've lost 5 pounds. It's hard for me to believe that any of this would be a placebo effect; nothing else has even come close to working for me, no matter how much I hoped or believed it would. I'm so glad I found this site!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  12/17/2007: Freyja from SLO, CA writes: "Hello. I have been taking ACV that I purchased at the health food store for over a month now. I take 2 tablespoons 3 times a day with an airborne tablet. I have not noticed ANY weight loss whatsoever, in fact, I have noticed a slight weight gain. I have not had a decrease in my appetite. I have noticed an INCREASE in my appetite. However, people have started commenting on how young I look; just yesterday I was telling someone that I had a 12 year old son (I am 35) they were generally shocked and they asked me if I was 9 years old when I had him! That was nice to hear. I have also been called a "young lady" and "girl" quite a bit now as opposed to "lady" or "maam" which was happening quite a bit prior. I also noticed that I was catching a terrible bug that was going around, but, I just increased my ACV for a day and rested for one day and I did NOT catch it! I thought I was gonna get it back because I catch everything and am always sick. I have not been full blown sick since taking it. I am going to continue taking it for my health because I feel in my heart that it is good for me, however, I have not noticed weight loss (or loss of cellulite.... sigh :( for that I think I have to combine the ACV with periodic fasting and giving up my chocolate and substituting green tea for coffee. Also, I have been exercising less since taking the ACV due to scheduling. But like I said before, if it makes me look younger, than I'll keep taking it!"

[YEA]  09/24/2007: Carolyn from Winchester, VA writes: "I love this site. I stumbled upon this site about a week and a half ago and started the apple cider vinegar remedy last week. I love the taste, in water. I put 4 tablespoons of ACV in 20 fluid oz and sip it all morning at work. My appetite has decreased as has my taste for sweet things. I am terribly overweight and have had weight problems all my llife, had 4 knee surgeries and have arthritis and edema. My pain has lessened as my edema has and I really feel healthier. This is something I would recommend to everyone! Thank you for this website. My only problem is when I get home I feel suddenly a big decrease in energy, which is not so bad since I have been feeling so sluggish the new energixed feeling I have had is very welcome. I was just wondering if I should drink a tablespoon more of ACV when I get home in order to keep the energy level up. I did not want to over do the ACV as I am new to this. Thanks for any help! Sincerely grateful,"

[YEA]  08/29/2007: Darian from Springfield, Missouri writes: "It's been a few months since I gave an update, however, the results are simply amazing. I take raw unfiltered ACV, 1/8 cup 3x a day. My sinus infections are all history, but that's not the reason I'm writing. About 2 weeks ago, I stepped on the scales. I have lost 30 pounds. I weighed 220 pounds in April, and I now weigh 190. Of course, the ACV isn't the only thing I do, however it was definitely the catalyst in giving me the energy to move forward. I drink a gallon or more of pure water a day. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and I'm still losing weight. Most of the weight (about 20 pounds), was lost during a period when I was doing NO exercise. I've lost 2 waist sizes. My wife is jealous!!! I keep telling her what she needs to do, but she says the thought of drinking ACV is just too disgusting. So, she gets to watch me buy a new wardrobe in a few weeks. Thank you EarthClinic for being here when I needed you back in April. You have truly changed my life. In addition, I've spread the news about the life altering experiences I have had through this site, so it's touched even more people. Keep the faith all, and remember... none of this worked "overnight". It took 3 days of ACV to lose my initial severe sinus infection. And if I go more than 3 days without using the ACV, I can tell a HUGE difference... as the sinuses start plugging up again, and I start getting tooth pain. I will drink ACV for the rest of my life! God willing, it'll be a long one."

I have laxed in my daily regimen of acv and honey and have gained back the weight and the blood pressure. i am going to start it again. Anyways. Thank you for your time in reading its benefits to me. Hugs to you."
