In response to your question if the ACV will react with other supplements. The answer is no.
I've taken supplements and ACV for a long time and had no problems. Most people end up with acid reflux from a hypo-acidic environment (too little stomach acid).
If the stomach acid were to remain high enough, it would adequately break down the various foods we eat adequately.
Most people over the age of 35 end up having too little stomach acid - so it's not true that doctors say we have too much acid and then put millions of people on anti-acid and PPI meds to block the acid reflux.
I was on those medications and had more problems than I started with. Besides, they actually weaken the bones and elevate the risk of heart attack, stroke and a number of other medical issues.

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.

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.

Hey Dean keep your spirits up, I too just found this site a few days ago, normal bp for me is around 170/120 or so. Just started my daily routine (two days ago} of ACV the organic kind (mother on the label), 3 shots a day with a glass of water (normal shot glass). I had my bp checked today 164/100 still high but hopefully going down. I know for people like us who have high bp it is going to have to been a lifestyle change also, exercise,l ow stress, diet, etc. But I do not like prescripition drugs, ACV will now become stocked in my home from now on.

For folks that are having problems with high blood pressure look up the following device/program. Resperate - it is a music and breathing technique that is supposedly proven to reduce blood pressure WITHOUT meds. I did not purchase it but noted the technique and implemented it. It works.
Of course most people in this country just want to pop a pill. Go ahead...make "their" day (drug companies)

I know how frustrating it is to try a remedy that is praised by so many people but doesn't seem to work for me and only me. I have had minor successes with ACV, but nothing miraculous as some have claimed. I use it to keep my body's pH levels in check and to assist in digestion. As for your high blood pressure, try checking with someone who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. I don't have BP issues, but I have used TCM for many problems such as hormonal imbalances and sluggish liver and have had nothing but positive results. My female issues have improved greatly. It is worth looking in to.

When using your ACV 'cocktail', be sure to use a straw when drinking it.

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!

Hello its me again. Since I wrote my last post I continued same ACV etc. and have been at +- 125-135 over 80-90 for the whole past week. Checking 2 x per day with an automated machine that takes 3 readings each time and makes a single average and recalls it in memory.
From a vegetarian friend was advised to add a glass 5cm-6cm +-2 inch of pure POMEGRANATE juice 1x per day(as it is quite costly) 13$ for 1.8L with one COD LIVER capsule every morning replacing the SALMON oil. The Pomegranate should have a good body inner cleansing effect. I notices much better body functions. Although with all the ACV etc I have not lost one pound ..but then I am not much overweight. Well good luck to all my dizzy heads are gone for the moment.
