Side Effects, could fall asleep, could feel extreme pain, you may feel lost or suddenly confused, so far to date the worst side effect I have heard is if you are extremely toxic, you could experience a major breakout in your skin. So always start out with a low dosage and work up to the recommended dose as your body can handle.I have seen people get rid of shingles, lower there blood pressure,get rid of mild to severe acne, blood sugars balance out in diabetics, prostate problems go away, finger nails grew stronger, taste become more enhanced, wartz gone, athletes foot gone, stomach ulcers dissipate, cleans out your colon, helps prevent edema, more and more.I would only recommend talking with your doctor first if you are taking medications. Do some research on your issues and if taking ACV in some way shape or form could help you. Another thing is your kidneys filter 200 quarts of blood in 24 hours.The kidney play major roles in blood pressure and supports the health of many other organs.So when your urinating a bunch, you generally are doing something right. I hope I helped inform some people on how the body works and how ACV help aid the body.

What I would like to point out is that everybody cannot expect to have the same results. That's the beauty of this site and the variety of experiences and remedies available. My other point is that attitude is everything. I never try things with the mindset that it "probably won't work"--why should it not? Sometimes, it's just a case of not having run across the right thing for you. However, people are often loth to admit the psychological aspects of illnesses and many people's specific illnesses are a huge clue about their lives, attitudes and personalities. I think the number one factor in getting well is the willingness to let go of whatever is wrong with you. Many people are dependent on their illnesses without realizing it and a frightening number of people are unwilling to do anything to help themselves. Maybe you will find these comments unappropriate for this website but I think they're valid and my hat is off to the people who organized this website and the people who write in, who have had the courage to try things and thereby help themselves and others. Finally, it is true that there is a period of adjustment before you really see a big change with any natural therapy. Never give up if results aren't immediate--unless, of course, something really drastic happens. I had a few really discouraging days but now I feel better than I have in as long as I can remember (I'm 65 years old.)

I have been using apple cider vinegar for over eight years after breaking both my clacaneous (heel bones) in a fall from a miltary assault case on a proferssional training exercise at a work conference. I was referred to it by a Reiki healer who felt it would assist me deal with the ongoing pain issues and also felt it would be a good de tox for the body.
It certainly did that with ny body reacting initially with a lot of small boil type infections manifesting as the apple cider vinegar in the body forced the toxins out through the skin. That lasted for 2 months and then my body cleared and I felt a whole lot better as a result - and continue to do so.
I am confident that ACV has assisted me to reduce the effects of living with constant pain and has so many other added values as the amino acids and enzymes produced in the fermentation process act as catalysts to help the body break down and rebuild molecules on a daily basis.
I swear by the natural benefits of ACV in so many ways and it is now part of my daily routine of getting up in the morning and pouring 25mm + into the bottom of glass and filling with warm water and a touch of sea salt. I follow this with a further 4 to 5 glases of water and this is a great way to start the day. I also try to have a shot before my meals when practical to do so.
If i go on a road trip I fill my water bottle with a dose of ACV and couple of pinches of sea salt as well.
Here is another good tip for you -Try filling a spray bottle with one third ACV and balance wityh water and spray onto your hair and skin on a daily basis after shampooing while showering. Just wait for the positive comments from your hairdresser and your skin feels nice and soft as a result. My hair is rejuvinated and definitely feels thicker as a result of using ACV.
So I am a believer and any natural product that contains essential minerals and trace elements present in ACV such as calcium, boron, magnesium,silicon,manganese and potassium has to have a positive effect on ones metabolism.
Another tip for liver spots on the skin ( hands and face in particular) as aging kicks in is to dip half a lemon into a bowl filled with ACV and let soak for short while as absorption occurs. Then rub on liver- spotted skin daily and watch spots begin to fade in a few weeks.

After skimming right past any mention of iodine for, what - 50 years? I've been playing with it the past couple of weeks. THEN I read Jarvis' "Folk Medicine" book and started ACV 2 days ago. I run a large cup of filtered water through my Keurig into a heavy glass "pyrex" measuring cup to cool it down a bit, add 1 tsp ACV and a 5 count of honey out of a squirt bottle and a couple pinches of pink salt.
After two weeks of applying povidone iodine externally (sore, lumpy, swollen breast) which responded right away (not lumpy, not sore and less swollen) within a day or two. I'd gotten the iodine down to about 4 hours before it was absorbed but with the ACV, it's back to being absorbed very quickly.
I'd been suspecting there was an underlying mass in that breast (still a little "swollen") and today, with my second ACV tea drink, I can definitely feel a response deep in the tissue on the side, toward my underarm and it's sucking up the iodine again, like it did the first time!
Haven't yet received my Lugol's iodine but when I do, I'm going to switch to taking it internally and add a drop or two of the 5% to my morning ACV tea.
I've also been taking 12.5mg iodoral, but not regularly as I suck at keeping track of pills...
ALSO, since Covid, I've had some sinus activity and ordered some honeycomb to chew and see if I can get rid of that nonsense - also per Jarvis' book.
AND I'm not craving coffee, which is amazing! I'm drinking a cup that I made out of sheer habit but it doesn't taste right.

I had a Store in San diego, ca. for 7 years..noticed people coming in with all kind of ailments. So I started to sell and tell the customers about Apple Cider Vinegar. After a while I could read their body language that they were not feeling good.. So I insisted that they buy ACV..Results ..Dissolved kidney stone in 4 days, prostate problem.. could not urinate..4 days system cleared. everything worked normal, migrain headache.. gone 1 day, women have cramps certain time of month.. no cramps, more energy noticed 1 day,arthritic aches and pains ..most gone in a few days,the list goes on and on.. I am told from reading that our cells are mostley potassium.. when we eat too much salt .. the salt make the cells weak and push our bones out of wack.. that why I think people have a lot of back problems.. the minute our cells become healthy, our bones fall back in place, no more back problems.. ACV is mostly potassium..Stop eating ten bananas a day.. just take ACV.
Stay well my friends

Hi Sara, In reply the ACV doesnt cause premature gray hair if anything it does cause hair to grow faster. I've been drinking ACV for about 4 months now and have not noticed any more gray hair than usual. But my hair does grow quick now. Hope this helps.

I recall someone posting that ACV intake can reduce iodine in the body, that if you take ACV regularly you should supplement with iodine. As iodine is tied to thyroid function, and premature (before age 30) greying of hair is actually one known symptom of thyroid problems, I'd be checking into the need for iodine supplementation when taking ACV regularly.

I take ACV as well as a kelp supplement, along with eating Seaweed Snacks (nori) from a popular health food chain. Would this seem to be enough iodine? I live in the goiter belt so am concerned about this...

As for the white hair take more Vitamin C. Many claim to have reversed the process. I think Ted has some words of wisdom on the subject!

Start the day with acv! You may start with one teaspoonful of acv mixed with eight ounces of filtered water. Gradually increase it to two with our meal.
When you feel fatigued or run down in the afternoon, try a mixture of two tablespoonful of acv and one teaspoonful of honey with water. In the evening you may add ginger to honey and acv as a hot tea drink. You can ask for organic acv from any health food store.

EC: Apple cider vinegar in fact alkalizes one's pH. Please review the introductory information on the acv main page as well as the Questions and Answers pages for more information on this subject.
Sadly, there is loads of false information planted on the internet about apple cider vinegar!

Im a 42yo wm who was suffering from elbow joint pain and had blood pressure so high it was giving me headaches occasionaly..I was about 195lbs and 6"0 tall so was not alot overweight but just didnt feel right. Because I dont have good insurance I decided in june of 2008 to try ACV to see if it would work for me before going to the doctor.YOU MUST BUY REAL ACV,unpasturized and with the MOTHER> DO Not buy ACV at the grocery store as it will be pasturized and a waste of time.. I went to a local health food store and bought ___ACV with the MOTHER>Im not promoting ___,its the only one Ive tried, Im sure theres other good brands out there. If the ACV you buy is dirty looking and it says it has the MOTHER, then its probably good (do your own research)
Anyway..I started by taking 2tablespoons in a small glass of water twice a day, and within 2 days my joint pain went away and my energy level went way up...This stuff tastes nasty but after you realize how much it is helping you you will get use to it.. I havent had a headache since I started taking ACV,h ave lost 15lbs,and havent had a twinge of pain in any joints... Its been 19 months, Im a much happier and healthier person...Remember Im taking 2 tablespoons, NOT teaspoons, twice a day...once in the morning and mid-afternoon. Dont ignore your doctor if you think you need one,but Im sure this product has changed my health for the better!
