I'm one of those people who believe that drug companies are not out to cure diseases but to come up with drugs to ONLY control them so we're stuck buying them for a lifetime. After my doctor had me wear a blood pressure device for 24 hours I was told my blood pressure was high and he put me on (Micardis?). 2 months later on Superbowl Sunday, Feb. 5-06 I had a stroke. I wish I could give you numbers and readings but I don't have them. 14 years ago I was told I was a diabetic and needed to control it with diet which I never really did. Anyway after the stroke my doctor had me go get my blood tested for almost everything sugarwise. He told me of bad numbers on most everything. Then a friend told me about Apple Cider Vinegar and although it's not the tastiest thing I started taking a drink of Heinz ACV every morning. That started about 6 months ago. On my last Dr. appointment going over another blood sugar test he wanted to know how much I was exercising because my blood pressure was good and so were all my sugar numbers plus I'm almost under 200 pounds for the first time in ??? I'm at 203 with a high of 232 and haven't changed a thing in my lifestyle. I haven't exercised on a regular basis since giving up softball at the age of 46 four years ago. ACV has made a believer of me. Now if I could just pour it on my head and regrow my hair.

Actually, you can use it on your head to regrow your hair! I had this idea several months ago and, although not on a daily basis, my husband now has fine hairs growing on top which now need to be cut with the rest of his hair. A new hairline is even visible! Every night before bed he uses unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV on a cotton ball and rubs it on top. Recently he has started drinking two tsp with organic lemonade twice daily and been eating more alkaline foods and there has been an increase in the rate of growth and in the thickness of the hairs. We are now looking into natural home remedies for blocking DHT (excess DHT has been linked to hair loss) and have found that green tea, pumpkin seed oil, emu oil, nettles, pygeum, and saw palmetto are among some of the natural DHT blockers; however, we have yet to try these.

Vinegar has lowered my glucose readings. It has worked so well, that I, too, thought my monitor was broken. I happen to love vinegar, but even if I didn''t.....so what? It's only two tablespoons in 1/2 glass of water. I use it now after every meal. The results are unbelievable and so well worth my health. Please tell everyone. I cannot believe I stumbled upon this amazing, inexpensive aid in lowering my blood glucose levels.

I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis on my hands and feet. It was caused from exposins my hands to spray nine without the use of rubber gloves. I have been reading so much about apple cider vinegar and decided to try it. Well, I was also diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and also came the slightly high blood pressure and cholesterol a tad high. I started to take the acv and low and behold, my next bloodwork was the best it has been in 5 yrs. If my next 2 check ups are like this last one I may go off my diabetic and blood pressure pills all together. WOW! Thank you GOD for having the acv at our disposal.

I have been drinking ACV for about a month now and it definitely helps with my blood sugar readings. I am extremely happy

I've been taking 2 tablespoons of organic vinegar in some water 2 times a day for a month and my fbs has been no higher than 111 for weeks now. I can't wait to have my lab work done to see what my A1C is! I keep looking at the numbers and I wonder if my glucose monitor is not working right. I'm a true believer. People think I am crazy when I talk about it though.

I have been using apple cider vinegar for about a year. I have diabetes and anyone who understands diabetes knows that the longer you have diabetes the worse your digestion becomes. I have had it for 26 years and am insulin dependent and "had" terrible digestion problems, or little to no digestion. Now I drink apple cider vinegar everyday, 3 x per day 2 tablespoons in a glass of water. It has worked miracles for me and my insulin dependent. husband. Apple cider vinegar has cured my husbands IBS and eczema also. I drink it with every meal and then some. This is truly a miracle cure!!! Salute!!!
