I've been taking acv & bicarb for about 2weeks now. Tastes pretty awful but boy does it work, no more acid reflux since I started, after suffering for about 10 years from this. Many thanks to Ted.

I told my mom about ACV and baking soda because she was having upset, burning stomach and arthritis. She was skeptical at the beginning, but when she tried she was able to sleep like a baby. She told her friend also and this was her answer: 'do you trust stuff like this?! ' I told her it's natural ACV and baking soda you find in bread,she gave the money that I buy for her. Thanks to you earthclinic.

I was having severe acid reflux, doctor prescribed acihpex, but my insurance would not cover it. In the meantime, I did research online and found this site. It is amazing! I am not usually a believer in home remedies but I gave the acv and baking soda a try and it worked great. I took 2T of avc with 1/4t. baking soda in a half a glass of water after every meal and before bed. I did this for a week and the acid reflux is gone. I continue to take one glass before bed and am feeling wonderful. Thank you so much for this site. I am going to try the remedy for
anxiety next.

I have struggled with GERD, Overweight, and fatigue for several years. After the medical discovery that Prilosec, Nexium and other medications as these can stop calcium from being absorbed in your bones, I was a little scared. So I decided to do some web surfing for natural cures.. And YOU WERE HERE! Over a week ago I started the ACV and HOT water with baking soda mixture. The first three days I lost 5 pounds and my reflux problem was gone. It tried to come back later that first week, so I increased my intake of AVC to a more powerful solution.
1/2 cup of ACV
1/2 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda ( 1 x day)
Today I weighed again ad I have lost 9 lbs! I am so happy! Plus my blood pressure is becoming more stable. The GERD is gone. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this website! God bless you guys!

First of all, huge thanks for your amazing website - I feel as though I have unexpectedly fallen upon gold. I have experienced chronic Acid reflux symptoms for several months. Not wanting to take the prescribed medication I have been chewing 2 DGL before meals, which somewhat alleviated the distress, but not a lot. Two days ago I read about Ted's ACV remedy and tried 2 Tablespoons of Natural Cider Vinegar and 1/2 Teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water, as recommended. INSTANT RELIEF. It seems like a miracle. I can even bend over without feeling the usual burning pain in my chest. My MD is eager to pass on the information about this and the website to her other patients. (PS: I understand that I should take a break from the ACV after 3 days. But how long before I restart on it?) Thanks to Ted and all the wonderful people who make Earth Clinic possible. Trish

Another testimonial in praise and thanks for Ted's ACV/baking soda remedy. I had been using ACV in water for months just as a general tonic, but still had reflux in the form of hunger pangs after eating, which induced a cough. It took 2 weeks but Ted's remedy did it! Thank you for your time and dedication to educating us on the wonders of the body -- if we understand its complexity and work with it rather than just shooting down symptoms, it self-corrects. You are a blessing.

I have been taking the AVC/Baking Soda for acid reflux 3 times a day but not sure to take it an hour before each meal, during the meal or after. My reflux seems to bother me the most about 2 hours after my dinner, which I usually eat around 5:30. Thank you for your help - glad I found this cure. Only been on it 3 days but what a difference. Also, can you ever go off it or is it something you have to do every day?

Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda Cured my terrible GERD!! After 5 Trips to the Emergency Room thinking I was Having a Heart attack and more to doctors I was told I had GERD-Acid Reflux. This was confirmed with an Endoscopy. My life became out of control with fear and chest pressure. I was given Nexium 40mg once a day and xanax for the fear(panic). These two drugs only slightly helped. 3 weeks of pain and missing work. I came across this site and was thinking it was not worth trying or the doctors would of said something about this remedy (apple cider vinegar). WRONG!! For 5 dollars at the health store I have my life back!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!. Panic is gone also. I cannot thank you enough. I can eat again too. I cannot Tell you how grateful I am. Please keep this site going! It Helps people from suffering. If you are Reading this and suffering just go get the apple cider vinegar (Brand name _______S) and baking soda. Thanks a million and God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boyfriend suffered from very bad acid reflux, he used to take at least 20 Rolaids a day. Since he started to drink Ted's home remedy of ACV and Baking soda 4x a day, he does not need to take any more Rolaids. Thank you Ted.

I have tried just about everything! I went for an endoscopy and the gastroenterologist did not see much evidence of acid reflux. But he said I probably had it since my stomach was inflamed. He diagnosed me with gastritis. I have not been able to eat without severe nausea for the last 6 months! The strange thing is that I never get a burning sensation. I bought some PH strips and my urine PH was very acidic along with my saliva. I understand it is normal to have a slightly urine PH but mine was always very acidic. I ate lots of steamed vegetables, am a vegetarian, never drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes so I don't think my diet had anything to do with it. I think it was years of stress catching up with me. Fortunately for me, my nutritionist turned me onto ACV and I searched for more information on ACV and found this web site. After about 6 days of taking 1-2 tablespoons of ACV, 3X per day with a 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda to neutralize the ph before the major meals and my acid reflux is almost completely gone! Before I had tried ACV, I had to even stop exercising because the glands in my throat would get so swollen. Now I take a teaspoon of ACV with a dash of baking soda before I exercise and hardly experience any swolleness in my glands. Each day my condition is improving.......I honestly thought that my life was coming to an end........the nausea and sudden change to my lifestyle was crippling. I continue to take one digestive enzyme capsule with each major meal, but I used to have to take about 4 of them to just get by. I am wondering if I will have to take ACV for my whole life........since my condition is getting better with each day perhaps I'll eventually be just be on an occasional maintenance mode .Thanks so much for this website. Good luck and God Bless to everyone! Also, you can toss the prilosec into the garbage dump!......Prilosec worked well for a while but the joints in my body were hurting me more. I now feel young again!

I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda 2 weeks ago. I have been on Protonix, Reglan, and Prevacid for years, and they just stopped working. I went on line to check out the apple cider vinegar cure and I started using it right away. It helped my acid reflux immediately. I no longer have that burning sensation in my esophagus 24 hours a day. I am so very grateful for this remedy. I told my doctor, who never heard of it, and he said to continue using it. I also like the idea that it is 100% natural and you really can't beat the price!!
