Read all the messages on your site about headaches as i had a bad one for over 24 hours, but having liver disease, am reluctant to use aspirin, as it is not a terribly good for the liver,but the only thing that has ever worked for me; and then only in combination with a nap.Read the letters about apple cider vinegar cures, but was highly sceptical, to say the least. However, as I had a botle in the house, decided to try it. Used 8 oz of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tbls of honey and drank it. Then I also did the technique of heating 1/2 water and vinegar: making a tent with towel and inhaling this, as i really didn't think either would help, but I was desparate for the pain to stop. Intended to also take a np, but hubby came home early so was not able to. In about an hour, I realised that my headache of 24 hours was GONE!!! Am no longer sceptical and so very grateful for this new knowledge! Thank you guys very much

I used to be prone to constant urinary infections to the point I no longer felt them. One time it had got so bad I actually felt the severest of symptoms. At the time no medical insurance and no money to go to a doctor. So I emailed a friend who had a huge book on herbs and natural remedies. He researched for me and found if I took a bath with apple cider vinegar it would eliminate the urinary infection because the urethra acts as a wick and draws the high ph into the bladder. Well I had no bathtub and no access to one. So we devised this plan. I would take a cotton ball and soak it in apple cider vinegar and place it on my urethra for twenty min three to four times a day. The skin would burn and it did hurt alot. But I persisted. I woke up the next day and had no symptoms at all. I continued to use the acv for three more days. Since then I have not had another attack of urinary infection.
Years before I forgot to mention this. A neighbor told me about acv and honey as a remedy for headaches depression arthritis pain help and lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure. Well i suffered from all of these symptoms. I asked how much to take. She said she took two tablespoons each of acv and honey in enough hot water to melt the honey and drank it down half an hour before she ate. I did the same. The first week I lost ten pounds of excess water weight due to bad diet of too much salt. I sweated alot and peed alot. I lost a total of forty pounds. I had visited my doc before I started and thirty days after. He was amazed at the weight loss and asked how I did it. I told him and he said oh. he wasn't concerned at the amount in that short of a time. I should have been. It is dangerous to lose too much weight in a short amount of time. But I believe in my case it was extreme excess water weight. My cholesterol dropped from 256 to 156 in six months. My blood pressure was below normal and I couldn't gain weight. So acv and honey is my magic remedy. My kids would see me taking the acv and honey for my migraines. They wanted to try it for their headaches. Well after the first time they used it they didn't want tylenol anymore. Ever. To this day they are teenagers they remember it is instant and keeps the headaches away.
I have laxed in my daily regimen of acv and honey and have gained back the weight and the blood pressure. i am going to start it again. Anyways. Thank you for your time in reading its benefits to me. Hugs to you.

I just wanted to give yet another testimonial for ACV and headache. I woke up with a killer of a headache and had the standard two tablespoons of ACV, about 1 tablespoon of honey, in 8 ounces of cold water. I finally learned to stir in the honey, before the water, which dissolves it much faster. The headache subsided, but it took a second dose to take it away, and it stayed away. I also think that it is very important to use the organic, raw, unfiltered ACV. I have come to really enjoy this mixture as it tastes almost like apple cider with a little' zing, and know that it helpful for much more than headaches. My family just went through a tough cold and I did not catch it. I attribute it to my almost daily use of ACV.
