Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment for Lipomas

Apple Cider Vinegar is an effective natural treatment to shrink and soften lipomas. While a lipoma won't disappear overnight, it will soften after a few days if you take the ACV tonic consistently. It can take several weeks or even months for a lipoma to disappear. Dietary changes, such as avoiding soy and artificial sweeteners, along with daily apple cider vinegar can also speed things along.

How Do I Use ACV for Lipomas?

Take 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the evening before bed. According to our readers who have had success using this method, it takes about a week to see a change in the lipoma. Some readers report that the lipomas disappeared altogether using ACV after a few weeks, while other readers report that their lipomas shrank and became softer almost immediately on the ACV but did not disappear.

Are There Side Effects Using Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is one of the safest and most popular home remedies of our time; however it is not without reported side effects. ACV lowers blood sugar very quickly, so some our readers have reported dizziness after taking ACV. Heart palpitations and anxiety are other reported side effects.

If you have any side effects while drinking ACV for lipomas, stop drinking it immediately. You should feel better within 24 hours. Magnesium, potassium and B Vitamins can help alleviate side effects of apple cider vinegar.

My body is loaded with lipomas which started when I was a teenager, multiplied through two pregnancies and went off the chart when I aged into my 50s. I have been drinking the equivalent of about 8 ounces of apple cider vinegar daily, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time throughout the day and during the evening. There has been a significant difference now having done this for approximately four weeks and I am overjoyed at the fact that many of them have begun to not only soften but shrink and disappear.

You have nothing to lose, stick with it and be consistent, everybody's body reacts differently and for some reason, it has worked for me. Good luck!

Be careful taking too much ACV. I have read of osteoporosis happening to a lady in her 20's. I have a bump on my head that is so annoying when I get a haircut. I am trying topical castor oil on it. I will update on how it goes.

Careful to rinse or brush after vinegar. esp. before bed, as acid dissolves calcium in teeth.

Apple cider vinegar for lipomas - just take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every night before going to bed. Follow this treatment for about 3 to 5 months - make the bump go away. 2 to 3 times a day, morning and night.

Hi All,

I used Apple Cider Vinegar for around 3-4 months.

I used to take it empty stomach in the morning mixing it with water of 2-3 tablespoons but unfortunately it didn't helped me in any way.

All the lipomas are still present and none of them have shrunk. If any other meds are there, please let me know.

Hi Guru,

I just have two questions about the lipoma that you still have or did have.

One, did you consume dairy milk or yogurt around the time that your lipoma had originated or while you did vinegar? I have heard milk or dairy causes it's continued growth or retards remedy.
Two, have you gotten remedy through anything else since you posted your review of vinegar not working (so did you find something else that worked for you?)
I'd love to know. I have a dime size one on the bottom of my foot. My first ever 🫤 I hope to get rid of it.

Best regards,
Patrick

I have been taking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every night before going to bed for my lipoma since August 2015 (My mouth is already watering, sigh) but I will admit I have seen some significant changes to the size. I just don't know if it will ever fully go away. Mine is on my upper back shoulder blade. Very visible with strapless and spaghetti strap outfits. I wish I would had heard of this 30 years ago as mine started to grow and I was 19. Thanks.

Thirty years ago, I had a lipoma growing along my spine. I was in excruciating pain, could only stand for 15 minutes. The lipoma was pushing against a nerve. They did a simple outpatient procedure and removed it. Within a week the pain was gone. Really glad I did that. Now I have developed several in my abdomen. I am going to try the ACV treatment and see how it works.

What did your pain feel like? I've been told I have a torn muscle in my back, but my gut tells me it's the lipoma tumor that is at the exact spot I'm having zinger spasms—as if that nerve is aching and on edge. I need relief!

I am 64 years old and I have had fat deposits for over 30 years. I have one between my neck and shoulder the size of my fist. They are in my rib cage, arms and in my back with several next to my spine. I would have the larger ones removed, but the root system of them embed themselves into muscle and I can follow the root system under the skin to where they are all connected/attached to each other. I probably have over 100 in my chest, back and arms. I have one under my arm the size of a golf ball. I have tried apple cider vinegar to no avail. Doctors are no help and only offer surgery, but claim since mine are so deep, healing will be a real issue. My father had 2 or 3 small ones, but had them removed. He complained about his, until I showed him all of mine.

Some of mine are painful but nothing I can not live with. I am open to other suggestions beside the vinegar.

THANKS, John

Lipomas are SYMPTOMS of a larger issue. Lipomas are an effect, not a cause. Just like w cancer, lipomas have not invaded the body, they have been produced BY THE BODY as a sign or result of some CAUSE.

Apple Cider Vinegar, ginger, garlic etc etc etc work to detoxify the body & the help it perform its regular maintenance & repair.

Please find presentations such as A Quest for the Cure, Truth About Global Cancer & others. They have tremendous resources throughout.

***Medicines NEVER cause harm. Poisons do that. Medicines heal, or they are not medicines.

I have had approx 20 of these lipomas removed over past 6 years via incisions. Only recently have I been better informed on what I CAN DO to help treat the CAUSE. :)

I'm 38 had them since I was 20. Got on legs side back arms. They stopped showing up from 24- probabily 34 but last few years 1 after the next. I don't know what I started taking a bunch of supplements and started exercising. Also the apple cider at night. I had 1 start to dissolve. Flaked off on my diet though.
Well it sucks but it's nice not being the only 1 with it. Wonder if it's from my fillings some times? What do you think, just genetic?

I have used a combination of apple cider vinegar on my Lipoma before while x taking a mushroom complex called " mu comunity" found at healthfood stores, for 2 months and my lipoma decreased to half its size but then I stopped and it's not big again. The key is to continue until its gone and continue the vinegar for life. Lemon water also helps to alkaline the body and decrease lipomas.I believe they are formed from consuming meat and dairy foods which are loaded with growth hormones and coming in contact with plastics which when particles are being released and enter our bodies they have an estrogenic effect and contribute to cancer, tumors and lipomas.

It is good to have a healthy, and organic diet and drinking a lot of clean water.Try not go heat food in plastic containers in microwaves and keep away from pollution as much as possible Also taking supplements and antioxidants help. Turmeric decreases lipomas too but don't take more than 500 mg.a day for it stains the teeth even if it is taken internally. Some medications may cause them too.

ACV for Lipomas: Use caution trying Apple Cider Vinegar. I tried this yesterday and had a Big side effect - - it sped-up my heart rate. I felt like yesterday that I drank 5 to 6 cups of coffee after taking the Apple Cider Vinegar.

Wow I wish I would of read this before I let the dermatologist do a biopsy it was just a small area, but it still hurt months later it was deeper than what she thought anyhow the lab said it was just lipoma . I think that the biopsy was unnecessary I had couple more of these lipoma fat deposits on my lower back so I started ACV and they are disappearing. We're vegetarian and we eat tons of organic nuts I wonder if the fat deposit comes from nuts so I cut back on them.

The first doctor I saw said if the lump didn't go away she would do a biopsy. I moved towns and my new doctor sent me for an ultrasound to confirm it was lipoma. A lot less invasive.

For lipomas, I you want fastest results that work within hours. Here is the miraculous tip.

Get some Turnips, boil and fry them and eat them with spoon in your dinner. Add the taste of your choice, (chilli sugar etc)

Before going to bed, take a couple tea spoons of apple cider vinegar. If by chance you happen to wake up in the night (or rather set and alarm / reminder) eat as much turnip as you can.

Re-do the task till results are as per your desire.

I am male 32 from Pakistan, currently working at Kabul and having 3 lypo lumps in my head. One of them was pluto, whilst the other two were jupiters. It was a real embarrasment for me all the time. I couldn't comb my hair propely. I contacted many physician and they told me that any surgeon shall offer me surgery. But if its not painful, let it be.

I read Julia's suggestion quite long ago but was stuck in my professional thingies all the time. Last night I finally bought the apple cider vinegar bottle of 450cc. I took two table spoons last night and two in the morning. Miraculously, the huge lypos are now the size of mars as compared to previous. I really want to thank you for sharing this with us.

With love and thanks, Akram

I tried apple cider vinegar for a month and didn't notice much change in my lipomas. I am going to keep going with it. I am going to setup a blog and I think what I want to do is try to find the common link between all the people that have lipomas.

So I want people to put in their age, their location, and their diet, do they eat dairy. etc. There must be a reason these things suddenly appear, I refuse to believe that for no reason at all they appear.

What do people think about this?

My father has had fatty lipomas growing on his stomach and arms for years. He also has type2 diabetes. His friend told him to take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before going to bed. He has been doing this for a 6wks. His fatty tumors have shrunk half their size and many have totally disappeared. They are even soft when you touch them and they use to be hard lumps. His blood sugars are also regulated and never high in the morning like before. He has made no other dietary or supplement changes. I really believe this will work for you.
