My neighbor had shared with me the great news of how stable her blood pressure was thanks to the apple cider vinegar. I didn't believe her, so I did some research on the web and found this site. After reading all the great posts on how great this simple liquid could cure so many aliments, I went out a purchased a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar. Three days into taking the vinegar. with honey and passion fruit juice, i visited my doctor and my blood pressure was 200/90. However I still went ahead with the vinegar. mixture, which by the way taste great with the passion fruit and adjusted my salt intake. I have one kidney which is functioning well, but still I need to treasure it. Still insisting in giving the vinegar. a chance to prove itself I had another reading 5 days later. My blood pressure last night was 113/70! I never in my life had such a low reading even with the blood pressure medication. I jumped up and down of joy, I almost cried! I even took a picture of my reading, that's how excited I was. I shared with the doctor that I had begun taking the vinegar. and he didn't make a remark, he even went ahead and took me off the cholesterol medication and wants to check me again in three months. I guess he must know about apple cider vinegar! Hahaha! I am looking forward to trashing the medications soon! I feel vibrant, happy, agile. I am spreading the news. Thanks a million for all the good info you provide to those seeking to ease their aliments!

I tried ACV to help relieve my gout on my right foot big toe, the pain was getting worse I found the earthclinic web site read the reports on the use of ACV for gout and decided to try it to my surprise it has worked after taking for 1 week 2 tbl mixed with water 3 times a day after my meals, after taking ACV for just 2 days I noticed the pain was not as bad I also noticed that my right knee that I have had problems with for over 8 months was getting better I can now bend my knee fully again I thought my knee was done & was about to see a doctor about it, & on top of that my blood pressure was slightly high is now well within normal range. I cannot believe that the medical profession does not know about this, all the wasted time & money spent on on these problems can be solved with a simple remedy ACV. Many thanks to earthclinic web site & ACV. Len from London Ontario

Doctor told me I had High Blood Pressure and wanted to put me on meds. Was looking for an alternative to medication and came across this web site. Read about what Apple Cider Vinegar would do and decided to try it. Not really expecting it to do anything. Boy was I surprised. Have been taking it for 10 days now and have seen my blood pressure come down from 158/91 to 137/75. Am looking forward to it coming down more the longer I am on it. Have been taking ACV twice a day, two tlb's in shot glass followed by warm water. Thanks for your web site and all the information.

I tried to get some answers about my daughter's recurrent cough and colds and somebody gave me your site so I immediately search it. I don't know how to thank you enough because for almost a month now my kids are taking this apple cider vinegar honey-lemon with baking soda and it's really working. I stopped all medications though her cough and colds are still there because she has allergy, she now sleeps pretty well at night. One thing more, ACV has helped me a lot, I am hypertensive and I was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis but after almost a month of taking ACV my blood pressure went down to 110/75 and also my amylase result went as high as 133 which is above the normal 40-110 but when I got the result today It went down to 111 which is almost normal already. I will continue taking ACV and will keep you posted. Thank you so much for your wonderful site. I'm praying that more people would find your site and that they will benefit from it. May God continue to shower you with blessings. Godbless you and your family.

To Raquel from Aichi (TRY NONI) My son has allergy also, He would cough all during the day but at night it would get even worst he would cough all night long. For a year I have tried everything to stop him from coughing so I can sleep. His doctor but him on asthma med. s that helped a little bit which he was on for a year. Then somebody told me about noni. I started him on a 1/2 ounce because he was only 4 and I was not to sure about it them now I give him a ounce a day. Within a week I notice a difference and in a month times I stopped his meds. He is now 6 years old and his allergy is much better and also my, because I have allergies also. I also noticed you need to clean with organic products. If you use candles, sprays, and even your perfumes all this will make her allergies worse.

Ok, I have been reading about HBP, which I have and decided to go get some ACV. I went to the grocery store. I mixed 2tbls. with water and drank about half. It hurt my stomach at first. I think I needed more water. After about 30 minutes I noticed that my anxiety was gone. For the last week I have been panicking about my HBP, Just found out last week. I went to the emergency room 2 nights ago for it. And they told me it could be anxiety. This stuff stopped it. I didn't know that it could do that. I did a search on it and sure enough, it can end anxiety. Praise God. Now I waiting for my blood pressure to go down. I am already impressed. I feel happy. I never feel happy. I have been depressed for along time.

Hi Barbara reporting in again. I began with acv back in Jan 2007 my post was in feb 2007. My bp is still doing great. No problems to report. I continue with acv twice a day everyday. I just wanted to say how happy I am to see so many new people taking control of there own heath and trying to remove man made meds from there lives. Learning how real food can cure! I wanted to share this info - My father had cancer of the bladder 5 years ago, had bladder removed is doing fine now, but last month he went for his 5th yearly check up, all the test they do! He went to his doctor to get results and after the great almighty doctor proclaimed him cancer free for the fifth year (a milestone for cancer survivors) my 73 year old father with macular degeneration of the eyes happened to notice the date on the page it was from last year 2006! He told the Dr and they could not find this years results (still waiting after 2 weeks). They make mistakes too! While I am grateful to the dedicated team of medical professionals who saved his life, one can't help but get a little ticked off when a mistake such as this is made. Be aware and ask question, ask to review your chart, keep a note pad with you if you have too. And seek for natural cures! Thank you Earth Clinic, Peace and good health to everyone

This is for Barbara, whose father has macular degeration: A classmate of mine, an opthamologist, has us taking goji berries from Tibet, 22 daily, for prevention and treatment. (cereal; trail mix; snack) I would love another pair of glasses but my opthamologist says my prescription of 8-10 yrs. past is fine. These berries also help diabetic's eyes. Whole Foods carries them or you can research them on Google and use mail-order, as I do.

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!

For a week now I have been drinking a shot glass of A.C.V. followed by a glass of water, blood pressure reading are wonderful (low) I am still taking the meds but hope to get rid of them eventually. Also A.C.V. and hydrogen perxoide 50/50 and the nail fungus seems to be going away. Suggestions would be appreciated, Oh, I will start adding the Baking Soda to the A.c.v, sounds like a great idea. This is a wonderful site. thank you

After I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid Disease around 45, my 120/80 days were over and it gradually got worse with a high stress job, age, etc., despite the facts that I'm a life long vegetarian, distance runner and swimmer (my father has resistant high blood pressure, too). I finally started medication about 2 yrs. later and tried several types, with little effect. I am still taking Co-Reg and Benacar, but started using vinegar very liberally daily on all my veggies - all kinds of vinegar - apple, red wine, raspberry flavored, etc., and all of a sudden my Dr. got a 118/80!!! With repeated numbers like this, I will be reducing and hoping to dc my meds! The best part is, I can't stand to eat my salads or veggies without it now. I often sweeten the vinegar (with the bad stuff - artificial sweeteners), too.

I cannot live without my _______s Apple Cider vinegar. 3 months ago, the doctor tried to put me on blood pressure medicine, but I refuse to take man made medicines; I just don't believe in using them, but since I have been taking ACV, I have not had any problems with my blood pressure. At all. I take Tae Kwon Do and I use to feel so tired and out of breath. My heart would race and I would get light headed, but not any more. I am 35 and strong as an ox! I also use it as a rinse in my hair. It makes my hair soft and it looks and feels clean. I've also noticed that my hair seems to grow faster since I've been using it as well. I use it on my body and my face. My face is clean, shiny and smooth. I use to break out, pimple here, pimple there, dark spot here, dark spot there! Guess what! There is nothing on my face now! My skin is clear and beautiful! I use it in my bath! Oh my! I cleanse my body so good and helps my dry skin. I soak in it once a week. It is awesome! I also drink ACV with Honey everyday and I feel great! I've thrown out all of my man made body products. I emptied a spray bottle that had a well known body spray from a "secret" company and filled the bottle with _______s ACV and half with water. I spray it on my body after taking my shower at night and I took a jar that included facial cleansing pad and a solution and pour that stuff out and added ACV full strength along with clean facial cleansing pads and I cleans my face with that every other night. Everyone thought I was going over board until they saw what it does for me, now my family can't get enough of it! I love it! I love it! I love it!

I ran across this site recently. I've been looking for natural ways to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure without having to take a lot of pills every day. It never occurred to me that my fathers remedy to cure his children's illnesses would also prevent high blood pressure. My father drank 12 ounce mug of honey and apple cider vinegar in hot water every day for as long as I can remember. His cholesterol levels and blood pressure was never high. It was always normal. He did pass away several years ago due to a heart attack. However, this was not brought on by cholesterol or blood pressure. This was due to pneumonia, which he got every year for about 15 years. Still today, when I've feeling slightly ill, I make myself a cup of honey and vinegar. I made this for an ex about 3-4 years ago. He couldn't believe how much better he felt within 45 minutes after drinking honey and acv. He didn't believe me that it would work. He was amazed.
