ACV for blood pressure: I have been having high blood pressure, for the first time in my life. I am 56 and have Type 2 diabetes. At the doctors, I had consistent high bp measurements for a few times, and the doctor decided to monitor it for a week and put me on medication depending on the results. My son told me about earthclinic and ACV and one night I decided to give it a shot. I measured my bp at 15.9/10.1. I took ACV (about two tbsp and some water) and measured it again 30 min later. Voila!!!! It was 12.2/8.5. I have since been on ACV and have my bp has measured normal, no more high bp. Thank you earthclinic and ACV!!!

ACV - My blood pressure dropped 20 points in 2 hrs.

I was at work last Friday and suddenly started to feel light-headed. My co-worker suggested that I take my blood pressure using her unit. To our surprise my blood pressure read 168/99. Never have I had a reading that high. Another co-worker who lives close by went home and returned with a small plastic cup with ACV. I took two tablespoons approximately and drank it straight. No too bad! After one hour it went down to 144/88 and then one hour later it read 127/84. I was feeling alot better... so ACV WORKS.

Question?? Should I get the organic brand or will any brand work for weight loss? I am taking two tablespoons in the morning and is mixing ACV with water to drink during the day. Now I am trying to see if the weight loss thing will work. Will keep you posted.

I have read many blogs regarding apple cider vinegar and how it reduces blood pressure. Well I'm convinced that it works well on blood pressure. I don't care what other blogs say (mostly medical websites) regarding inconclusive evidence. Apple cider vinegar has worked better than the Norvasc I have been on for (4) years. My bp was averaging 140 - 160 over 91 - 97.

Since I began a regiment of simply taking a 16.9oz bottle of water and drinking about 1/3 of it. Then refilling the 1/3 with apple cider vinegar (From Stater Bros) not the distilled but the 64oz plastic jug. It has a picture of vegetables just above the size of the bottle. To end all of the hype regarding it being too acidic the Stater Bros brand states on the bottle "Reduce with water to 5% acidity." By the way experts that's less than a soda beverage. The light warming sensation you feel is similar to drinking wine.

By the way since I mix it in my water bottle (1/3) the acidity is reduced even less. If you stay with it for a week you will see results. I use to suffer from Hyperglycemia as well but the sugar content in the apple cider vinegar kept me from getting the shakes. I was even able to fast for three days with no issues. I drank 1/3 of the 16.9 water and apple cider vinegar buring the course of my day. Each time I drank 1/3 I followed up with drinking another 16.9oz of plain water.

I spread out my 1/3 as follows:
1/3 in the morning, 1/3 at lunch, and 1/3 prior to dinner. You will urinate a lot and your colon will be cleansed as well. I'm no expert in anyway but I know that it it worked for me. Don't worry I didn't forget to tell you my current bp. Well I am happy to report that it ranges from 114 over 77 to 106 over 64.

By the way it doesn't have the "mother" in it as well which some sites and vendors claim is the only kind that is effective. Just don't use the distilled white vinegar as it has been stripped of it's nutrients the same as white flour, white rice or white sugar. During my fast I substitued my breakfast, lunch and dinner with 16.9oz of water mixed with spirullina for three days. I lost 13 pounds and I walked 1 mile a day.

To all of you doubters that would say it was the exercise and walking that lowered my blood pressure it helped. However, I was doing 3 miles a day on the treadmill for 30 minutes and drinking water and the blood pressure drop was minimal. In addition, my cravings for sweets went away as the colon was cleaned and the candida died off during the fast. Lastly, but firstly I paryed to God during my fast for my own personal strength. Now if you want to tell Him it doesn't work then I leave that up to you. be blessed and stick with it and you will see results.

I have had high blood pressure for the last 2 years since i had my baby. Well I recently checked my BP and it had soared to 188/98 Oh my goodness I freaked out. After reading these wonderful reviews I decided I have nothing to lose but HBP. So i ordered organic ACV over the internet had it delivered to me. and after 2 days of taking 2tablespoons of acv and water I checked my BP today and it was 111/84. Since i was in shock. I checked it again a half hour later and the exact same number came up again. I am in total disbelielf. I will continue to take ACV and checkmy BP again in a couple of days but i am so excited about this. Thanks so much for all these wonderful reviews. I am convinced that ACV does work. The numbers prove it!!!!!

Wow! I stumbled om this site to find a natural cure for HBP. Mine has usually been 120/70 for years. It has steadily crept up. In July '08 my pressure spiked to 160/96. I was put on medication for 15 days and then was taken off after it returned to normal. I checked my BP 11/20/08 and it was 176/101! I decided to try the ACV recipe of 2 TBS with 8 oz of water 3 times a day. I also kept a bottle of water with me with 2 capfuls of vinegar. Today 11/24/08 I went to the same place to check my BP and it was 127/82! Not bad for only 5 days! I plan to continue with this for the rest of my life. Thanks for all your posts and your help!

Hello~ Two weeks ago after a decade of high blood pressure and suffering from the side effects of Benicar to control it I went to this website. I was weaning off the Benicar and literally sick with blood pressure 185/115. I started regimen of 2 tbsps. ACV, 1 tsp. cayenne and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a.m. in 1/2 glass of water. At noon and evening the ACV only. Two weeks have passed and this morning I am at 131/85 with no prescription drugs! In addition, I use ACV (unfiltered, organic) as a toner and my skin is the best it has ever been! I am 51. I will say I haven't lost any weight and when adding the baking soda my pressure went up. So will attack the 10 lbs. I need to lose next. Thank you!

I started taking ACV a week ago. 4 dessertspoons of ACV in a glass of water. My BP has come down from 160/90 to 125/73 over the week. I am on Cardizem 360mg a day as well. I hope to reduce this to 180mg in due course. I hear that ACV being acidic can cause teeth enamel problems. So a mouth rinse after taking it may be helpful.

Hi. 53/1m89.93kg male.Never drink alcohol, don't smoke,not much fat, little salt. Near very healthy, organic veggie patch etc. I near never eat anything like potato chips, fast food, canned soups . etc no much High Blood in my family till age over 80 my grand pa (he drank what I will talk about below) and my dad over 92 now has some high blood also now only.

Suddenly I have High Blood Pressure here in Canada where I live for one year now. Lived in the Tropics last 30 years and swam in a pool every day +-1hr. Now here in Canada a very sedentary life. Too much on my bum I admit but work is by the PC. Anyway I follow this webpage here quite some time now and take ACV 2 x 2 big soup spoon of ACV (organic with mother) not the clear from supermarket, mix it in non sugar added Grapefruit juice with water 1/4 -3/4 1st and last thing every day and it came down from 165 to +- 140.. in one month WITHOUT any other medicine.

I also take one Aspirin per day and the usual Multi vitamin. I am not very "Pro Medicine Pills Person". I also take "Oil of Oregano" for general health 3 x 5 drops per day. That cleared a 4 month chronic / viral office cough of my partner that doctors tried to cure with antibiotics, in 7 days!!! 4got to say he also takes the ACV! It all seem to have improved dramatically his 30 years "GERD, gastritis" also, amazing isn't it?. So maybe "OIL OF OREGANO" may help for High blood also? Now my blood pressure still not normal but will continue. I feel less often the dizzy head.

I recall my Grand father in Austria drinking one month on one off 1L of Apple Juice " with mother" not the clear one made what they call REFORM HAUS/HOUSE. (An old Austrian woman solution) to high blood pressure. But here such Apple juice is like 11$ per liter so.. not $ feasible. Anyone had such a similar story with the Apple juice in America?

Regards Thanks for any story shared. and good health to you all!

Hi everyone. Great site for health issues. I have been taking ACV every morning and night 2 Tabl. to 8 to 12oz of water. During the day, I mix a quart bottle of spring water with about 4 tabl. of ACV and drink throughout the day. Anyway, my blood pressure that has always been high for over 25 years is now down like never before.

Prior to any meds: 160/96
With meds: 130/86
NO MEDS and ACV: 110/60
Throughout the day my blood pressure has found a new home of 110/60.
I discontinued my medications because my blood pressure with ACV and MEDS became too low: 98/56
No Meds...ACV alone: 110/60 like clockwork.

I feel so fortunate to find the ACV recipe here at earth clinic. I go in for a cholesterol reading in about 2 weeks...I will let you know the results without statins.

Blood Pressure -- Here is my first report: I started on the ACV and have taken it religously. I also am taking a vitamin suppliment that is supposed to support a healthy heart. I have not had caffeine for 2 days and I am watching what I am putting in myself for fuel. I am trying to eat colorful healthy, low sodium, low fat foods. I have not eaten any fake sugars such as sweet n low. I have not had soda or any caffinated beverages. I do like lemon with my water that has been helpful. I was at the pharmacy today and I took my bp with the in store monitor, that will have to do until I am back as school on Tuesday. My bp today was 147/84. That to me is significant. I was wondering if any had noticed a slight difference in the odor of their urine. Please let me know.

I found this site just over a couple of weeks ago while searching for a natural remedy for high blood pressure. I am extremely overweight but was having trouble exercising because of the effects of the medicines my doctor put me on. I did not want to go back to that doctor, nor do I want to stay on these medicines any longer. I can tell that these medicines are poisoning my system.

I had found several remedies that would cost more than my prescriptions, and was about to order one of them when something told me to keep looking.

That was when I found this site. I read through all of the comments and decided that it wouldn't hurt to try the apple cider vinegar. If it didn't work, I could always try one of those expensive remedies.

I have been taking the apple cider vinegar for just about two weeks now and I have noticed an incredible change in my energy levels. Before I started taking the apple cider vinegar, I was always feeling sluggish and had no energy. I was constantly falling asleep at church and at home in front of my computer. Now the sluggish feeling is gone, I have more energy, and I do not have the problem of falling asleep all the time. I am also exercising now.

Yesterday, I forgot to take my afternoon dose of medicine. I wasn't feeling right (I feel 'off' when I don't take my blood pressure medicine) so I took my blood pressure. The average reading was 145/96. Normally when I forget my medicine, the average reading is 165/101. Today, with my medicine, the average was 123/77 (this is after drinking a couple of glasses of cola!) - normally it is 130/85 or 140/90 if I have had any kind of caffeine.

Not only is my blood pressure beginning to come down, but I have also lost 10 pounds in two weeks! Hopefully, I will be able to come off of the medicines soon so I can finally get healthy again. Thank you so much for this website!
