To Whom It May Concern; This to inform you that first off, there is NO such thing as Acid-Reflux Disease. Second off, there is a $3.99 cure, that ends acid reflux in just three days... period... it's called... "Raw - Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, with the mother", one brand name is "_______", and I hope they don't get greedy... and keep the price as is... 9 years ago, taking Bayer Aspirin for a head injury, I developed an ulcer and almost died... then for 8 years took "Dr. Prescription Prevacid" however you spell it... sorry about that... then after years of taking the doctors prescribed medication, with no cure, at $130.00 a month, because I don't have insurance... I read the book by Kevin Trudeau, "Natural Cures Revealed..." now for the past 6 months, I have had ZERO acid reflux at all, I take a tablespoon when I wake up, and one before bed, and that is it. Talked to a seals person at a GNC store today, who said he had researched this 3 years 4 months and a week ago, and told the same story... the Apple Cider Vinegar not only stopped the acid reflux, but cured it.. I feel the same way... I have no more and I can eat ANYTHING I feel like it. There yea go... thank you.

I tried the apple vinegar on night after acid reflux and it work. I just wanted to get the bad taste out and acid back done the esophagus and it worked. Someone told me about vinegar for fungus, because my daughter had a ringworm. In most kid this get out of control. I prayed about it and sought out help from the school nurse on the best thing to do for it, but the nurse wasn't in and one of the ladies the work there told me what she read about vinegar on the internet because her grand daughter was prescribe meds that didn't work. Well, I know for my self it works. I use the vinegar first then the meds for the doctor. In my eyes the natural way is the best way.

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

I was told about your site about a month ago. I had had the stomach flu for 2 weeks and my digestive system was a mess. I read about ACV and started it that day. I haven't taken Nexium since. I have told everyone about the site. I take a "swig" of the APV with "the Mother" twice a day. I can't believe it, but after a month, I would say it works.

I've used Apple Cider Vinegar for several years now whenever I get an acid reflux attack. It immediately takes the pain away and I feel 100%. Years ago I used the ACV with baking soda for heartburn and it worked as well. After reading some of the comments on this site. I will try using the ACV on regular basis for my blood pressure. This week I will start visiting the Fire Department on a regular basis to be checked for my blood pressure. I'll keep a record of the numbers and get back to you at a later date. I'm glad I woke this morning at 4:10 am and started looking for natural cures. I don't believe in chemicals at all and try my best to stay away from medication if at all possible. I know my Doctor is planning on starting me on high blood pressure pills. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Vina

I started using the ACV drink recommended on these pages to treat my reflux. Works great for the reflux, I sleep like a baby and feel great. Only problem is, I'm dropping a lot of weight fast, and I only weigh 102 now (I'm 5'2"). Is there any way to safely use this without becoming too thin? Thanks!

I have been suffering with terrible acid reflux for the past 3 years. I am up nearly every night with violent nausea. I would get no relief until I would finally vomit. UNTIL!!!! Apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. I mix up 1/2 cup of each ingredient at a time. I take 2 tablespoons in the morning and 2 at night. (refrigerate un used portions) Mix up as much as you want, just equal portions of all ingredients! Saved my life. No more tums. No more vomiting. A full night's sleep! Rebecca

The apple cider vinegar worked for my acid reflux. I took Protonix for 2 years until my insurance company had it switched to the cheaper omeprazole. They also halved the amount from 400 mg daily to 200 mg. The acid reflux pain returned, so my doctor prescribed two 200 mg. omeprazole daily. The acid reflux symptoms lessened, but I still experienced some nausea and stomach pain from time to time. I was desperate to get off prescription medications altogether, and then I found your web site. I've been using ACV for two weeks now, and I feel better than I have in years. No stomach pain or nausea. I can't thank you enough!

Thank You for your suggestion of ACV for acid reflux. My Acid Reflux symptoms came on very quickly. Within a week from my first symptom, I was miserable with a thick throat...a lump in my throat. It was difficult to swallow. I tried drinking an 8th of a cup of ACV combined with about 3/4 cup water. Within 1/2 hour, I felt relief. Thank you so much. Lea

Had periodical heartburn and acid reflux for last three years. Zantac worked at the beginning but later became ineffective. My Doc put me on Pantaloc twice a day and as with Zantac it eventually became ineffective. I returned to chomping on Tums for relief but I began going through a container every three days. I found this site while looking for long term effects on heartburn sufferers and found this site about the vinegar. I laughed and was laughed at for even considering such a thing. Like many of you I became desperate and bought a jug of Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. It worked but boy did I ever get a sore stomach. Now I have two shots of it with two shots of water twice a day and the problem rarely surfaces. In fact at first I twisted my face at the taste but now enjoy it as much as I enjoy a glass of wine with my meal. I have never seen the Brachs variety but once I've drank this 4 litre jug I will try to find it to compare. Many thanks!!!

2 and a half months and counting- it's worked better than prevacid- occasional discomfort, but had more pain with all the different medications-' fingers are crossed for continuing success.

I had the stomach flu this last weekend including vomiting. I hadn't really eaten much and was still feeling sick. I went home from work early and lied down. I started to get this horrible pain in my chest and all of the symptoms of acid reflux. My sister was just diagnosed with it which is the only reason I didn't panic and go to the Dr. I started searching on-line and glanced at something about apples. I grabbed an apple on my way out the door to get the kids. I felt instant relief. However, when I was finished it came back even worse. I stopped at a drug store and asked the pharmacist what they recommended and she said Pepcid AC. That didn't work either. I was in lots of pain and did not want to go another night without sleep. I found this site and went to Trader Joe's to pick up the apple cider vinegar. It took about 10 minutes to kick in and it completely got rid of all the symptoms. I have taken it this morning as well and felt more energy and am thinking this could replace my normal coffee in the morning. Thank you for all the stories. I am passing all of this information along to my sister as well.

I have found ACV to be quite helpful on relieving indigestion and reflux type pain and pressure. But everyone doesn't have the same problem, which is why PPI's work for some and do nothing for others. Many people have early stomach dumping on top of reflux type symptoms. A side note on PPI's. They do not allow undigested food to go into your intestines. Your stomach, if working properly, outside of the reflux issue is setup to empty when Hydrochloric levels reach a certain point. Until then, the food remains in the stomach, grinding away. The exception to that is the early or mid dumping problem, where the stomach is acting more or just spastic and not relating to feedback on Hydrochloric levels. The best thing you can do from I have found so far on early dumping is to not combine to many levels of digestive variance and eat smaller amounts. Sugars digest almost immediately. More complex Carbs take about 30 minutes to clear the stomach. Proteins can take 2 to 4 hours and grease can take 5 to 6 hours. If your stomach is already having a problem releasing or holding food to long, the more of these you combine at one time, the bigger problem you will have. ACV seems to help alot of people on dumping problems because it seems to reset the Stomachs start point for the digestion process. With a chronically messed up stomach, usually from overstress, the brain and stomach are bouncing all day, everyday, for probably quite some time. The connection between brain, nervous system and stomach status are messed up. ACV maybe helping this situation like hitting a reset button before you eat. There isn't much need to worry about the acidity level of ACV either. A coke is far more acidic.

Right on new years eve i was stricken down with some sort of sickness where it was a combination of a terrible sore throat and throwing up!!! To top it off i have suffered from acid reflux for quite some time. In the past i would juice some cabbage to take away the pain when it became unbearable. This time i was so weak i could not make it to the store to buy any!!! so i took some thera flu and wouldn't you know it things went from bad to worse. the acid reflux was the worst i have ever experienced in my life. I really don't know how i made it here to earthclinic.com.... but it was then that mine eyes have seen the glory or shall i say the hell of otc medications. i have since thrown all of them away. I read some feedback about acv and somehow got the strength to go to the store and get some "mothers" acv and some cayenne pepper powder as i read that it would cure a sore throat. My throat was really raw from retching and the reflux so i was a mess. needless to say these 2 work better then any other otc medication ever made...i have told as many people possible about the cures and this website!! now i can simply laugh when i see the advertisements for otc meds on tv and such.That was last week, now i seem to have a awful running nose. let me just say i have made severe adjustments to my diet. no more red meats and my one weakness CHEESE i am trying to eliminate. I just read tonight on the vapor/steaming powers of acv with water and tried it. Really quite strong, even more so then drinking it i thought. when i drink it i would have it with some organic apple juice so the taste was quite pleasant. The steaming effect seemed to open up my sinuses quickly and i will continue until all symptoms are gone!! WOW!!!like so many others i am so thankful for this website!!! please keep up the good work and let me say the feedback from others is a true testament to the effectiveness of the remedies offered here. p.s. I'm almost out of acv!!! its a great energy drink i've found... and i will continue to drink it as long as i live

I had Reflux for at least 5 years. in about 2001 I had an endoscopy that verified that I indeed was afflicted. I immediately went on reflux tablets at the Doctor's suggestion. I wish I never had! The pills made my reflux WORSE! Before that, it was manageable, but once i was on the pills, i couldn't go off them without horrific pain! Then I discovered this website. I went off the pills and tried the apple cider vinegar, the Dill pickles and the Jonagold apples. The one that worked was the vinegar. I started with putting 2 teaspoons of honey in a mug, a bit of boiling water to melt it, then topped up with chilled water, then put in 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and did this 3 times a day to start with, and reduced it as i started feeling better. Now, three months later, all i take is ONE glass every 2-3 DAYS! The taste becomes easier to bear too, as i now have 2 teaspoons in half a glass of water, no honey!!! Last week, i had another endoscopy, and what do you know??? THE ENDOSCOPY REPORT SHOWS THAT MY REFLUX IS NON-EXISTENT!!!!!! Thank you for this website, and I hope others will be inspired to go off the pills. :) Reece
