My boyfriend has been visiting the bathroom non-stop for almost 24 hours now. I started looking on the internet for 'food poisoning cures' and we came upon your website and the apple cider vinegar. I then pop out to buy a bottle and after much consideration (and reading through all your 'Yea' comments), he decided to take it. At the dinner table, in front of a bowl of congee (which is porridge, but cooked with rice insteal of oatmeal), he downs the recommended dosage of two tablespoons and reaches for his cup of water when...he violently spits out the water and vomits all over the table and into the congee. I see him dash to the bathroom then hear him retching his poor, little body to death. He's now resting in bed, but I'm not sure if it's worked or not. We plan on visitng the ER later! Thanks for all your help!

I'm so happy that I chanced upon your website. Yesterday was the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday here in Seoul. I'd gotten lazy and just reheated some leftovers because I was going to visit a friend who was set to move to China today. The visit went fine and I made it home okay, but about 4 hours after eating, I got horribly sick.

I threw up and thought that was the last of it. However, since I am an insulin dependent diabetic, I was concerned about how it might affect my blood glucose level. I drank some grape juice and went to sleep. I woke up an hour or two later unable to keep the juice down and threw that up. Hmmmmm. Okay, now I'm concerned about dehydration, so I drank a cup of water and went back to sleep. After an hour or so the same thing happens again and that was just frightening to me. I couldn't keep down water!

I ran a search and found your page on food poisoning and the ACV remedy. I figured why not as I was headed straight to the emergency room if I kept being unable to hold anything, including water, down.

I drank maybe two tablespoons full of double strength ACV (it's all I had.) I immediately felt better. I went back to sleep and woke a couple of hours later feeling pretty good. I figured I'd drink a bit more and go back to sleep. I slept well again with no vomiting. In the morning when I woke up I figured I'd top off my ACV doses with another. This time however I did throw up. I figured that was okay since one of the commentators said that happened to them too. I mean maybe it was the last purge of bacteria?

Anyway, I called my nurse in the morning. She recommended a sports drink, Pocari Sweat, to replace lost electrolytes. After that last ACV purge I slept like a baby again. I really do think the ACV and that last purge in the morning is what kept me from having to go to the doctor today. I'll definitely use this as a remedy in the future. Thanks.

I use ACV but if I try to drink it straight, and then try to take a breath of air afterwards, it takes my breath away, I have to dilute it a little.

Late last night both my partner and I realized we had food poisoning from take away cooked chicken. we both had stomach cramps, nausea, dizziness and one of us on the floor of the bathroom retching while the other waited for the loo with diarrhea - what a scene! Managed to get to the computer and check google, found your site apple cider remedy - so we both went for it - yuck, but it worked. Both got a night's sleep - cramps wore off and feel ok today, just tired. Thanks heaps.

I had food poisioning last night it came on emidiatley after I finished my dinner of chicken and swiss chard. I was OK within an hour after sipping a cap full of ACV in a small glass of water. I have been drinking ACV for 2 years now in a cup of warm water with a cap full of ACV, I drink it all day long everyday. Once in the begining I made the mistake of drinking it straight, which burned and gave me heartburn.

To all thoes people who gag at ACV, don't drink it straight have it as a tea even add some lemon and honey it will taste just like lemon tea. I have asked my dentist if my teeth enamel is ok and he always confirms it's ok. I never have plain water after.

Came home from a long days work on friday [1/5] and resigned myself to eating some chinese food in the fridge - it had been in the fridge for 3 days. Well I downed the food with a harp's brew. Went to sleep at 12am. By 3am I was UP. Oh man. What followed was hours of mediation between the bathroom and bedroom as I pleaded for some higher power to let go of me and move on the next mope. At around 2pm [1/6], I went online and started looking..searching...then I stumbled on this site. What did I have to lose?...U tell me lol. After more bouts with the inner demons ripping my poor tummy to shreds, I was able to head to the store to pick up a bottle of apple cider vinegar. I couldn't find a teaspoon as I left the house so I took a small plastic cup. Well I poured myself a shot size of vinegar while still in the parking lot. By 5:30pm, I was in bed praying and hoping this would be the last. It is now 6:35am [1/7]..after a long night of sleeping. I woke up to feeling quite better. THANKS!!!!! Never again with left over chinese food. The ACV is sitting in the fridge. Yesterday was almost 70degrees in JANUARY and I missed it. Ohh well. At least I'm ready to tackle the work week.

Was vomiting violently for eight hours straight. Was told to try the acv and did (2 tbs acv). stayed down only about a minute. Threw it up and that was the end of it, literally. I had never heard of it before. Made a believer out of me. Just wish I was told about it eight hours earlier!

After eating Taco Bell's steak bowl for lunch on Friday afternoon, my stomach was immediately irritated. By the time I got home I was bent over in pain. This was about 5pm. At 7pm, and every 2 hours after that I lived at my toilet bowl. At one point during the midnite hours I lay on the bathroom floor. My stomach was in so much pain. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I had my last vomit at about 5am Saturday morning. But I was still in pain. I had a fever and was beyond nausea. It wasn't until I spoke to a sorority sister that I realized that it was indeed food poisoning. Then I surfed the internet looking for cures. I came upon this site. I dragged myself out of the bed to go buy the apple cider vinegar. My mother suggested I take a tablespoon with me to the grocery store. After buying the ACV, I took 2 tablespoons immediately. And I felt it begin to work. And I mean I felt it. Well after a good nights sleep, I woke up Sun morning feeling brand new. All my pain was gone, my fever broke, and I was able to go to church. Needless to say I will be bringing my ACV to every BBQ from now on, and I found a cure for people who can't cook.

Hey guys, thanks so much for the advice! I must put in my 2 cents for the sake of helping others. For the skeptics out there... -its probably 4am and you can't sleep anymore, your stomach is twisting and turning, your washroom hasn't seen u so often since new yrs and your near so damn desperate to try anything that'll work. You're at the right place! I ate 'bad chicken' and oh boy was i ever sorry.. .i suffered for 36 hours and finally decided to search for a cure. That's when i came across the ACV remedy. I took 2 tablespoons. To be honest it sure did taste like crap but i felt an immediate relief. I sat up for 45 mins after consuming the ACV and went to bed. When i woke up my stomach felt better and i wasn't vomiting. I'm going to stock up on ACV and i promise u will want to too. At this point, what do u have to lose? DO IT!

I had started to vomit uncontrollably, in hour intervals. Even though there was nothing left in my stomach, it still occurred. I was bid ridden, and when I moved I would vomit. I thought this would go away by itself, being that I had eaten something bad. I had not stopped vomiting for almost a 24 hour period, desperate to find a remedy I googled for a cure and came upon this page. Upon drinking ACV (Heinz pasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar), my stomach immediately calmed down and within a few hours the nausea and vomiting went away. Miracle cure!

I fixed pepper steak and poured a can of tomatoes over top. As I was eating I noticed a hot sour taste. I thought I might have put tomatoes with chilies over my steak. After completing the meal, I immediately felt sick and started throwing up. This is one of my favorite sites so I came to see if there was a cure. The ACV worked within 15 minutes. THANKS So Much!!

My housemate cooked baked potatoes for us, and he didn't realise that one of them was off. Within minutes of eating it I was feeling sick, and last night I vomited bile and had diarrhea a lot and could not even hold down water. This morning I got some pepto bismol and it was fine until I drank some milk (bad move) and all the vomiting and diarrhea came back. In desperation i got on the net and saw this site - that was it - i was off to the shops to get some acv. Outside the shop I swigged 3 capfuls (a bit of an overdose) and it was surprisingly pleasant to drink. Immediately I felt stronger and my stomach stopped hurting. At home now and have just eaten some rice cakes/ dextrose tablets and feeling much better - my stomach still hurts a bit but that might be because I drank too much vinegar, and because of the pummeling it had last night. Recommended - better that Pepto bismol and natural too. I'm sold!

SKEPTICS....ATTENTION PLEASE!! My wife calls me at work yesterday afternoon and tells me she has to leave and go home...NOW! Why? Bad salad dressing at her favorite (large chain) eatery. I get on the net and find your site....reading up on apple cider vinegar, I was sold. I call her on her cell phone and tell her to go by the store; she tells me she doesn't know if she can even make it home, much less make a stop. I leave work myself, go by the store and pick up "the cure". I walk in the house and announce "get in here (the kitchen) and take this stuff!!" Did two tablespoons to start, and then another two in a couple of hours and two more when she was going to bed. This morning...went to work...just called me...feels fine!! A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!
