My name is Raphaelo. I am 33 years old living in Florida. I have been living with Nasal cancer for almost 7 years. Like most cancer victims, I took chemo and radiation, but they didn't work for me. Before the treatment, I just had a cold and lump in my neck. After the treatment, I become worse. The cancer spread into my throat. My face is swollen, my eyes are puffy, and I have dry mouth and skin. I feel weak and look pale. Last week, I read a post on your site on how apple cider can lower high blood pressure. Since My blood pressure was constantly high, I tried it. Ever since my BP is normal. The first time I try a remedy that works for me so fast. I feel lucky with that site. What physician couldn't do in 7 years, it's done in less than a week.

I do suffer from diabetes for several years. Several weeks ago I went to the doctor and they told me that my cholesterol was quite high 210. I began taking ACV once a day 2 tablespoons a day. In about a month time my cholesterol went down to 160 and blood pressure to 1about 120/80. I noticed that it is suggested to take at least to take the ACV twice to three times a day. Also is the unfiltered product is being used. Has anyone used the capsules? Two tablets do contain 600 mg of ACV. What have been the results of using the capsules? Appreciate comments. Thank you

ACV and honey worked for me. I mixed acv and honey 50/50 with garlic,and took 2 tblsp twice a day. In 2 weeks my blood pressure went from 150/100 to 130/80. I place the 2 tblspoons in dandelion tea, drinking it cold from a champagne glass. I keep a jug of the tea in my fridge. Very economical and handy. It tastes better than champagne!! Probably any tea would do, and I will start using it with green tea too.

Whoops... I have been taking 2 Tbls ACV with 1/8 tsp baking soda two to three times a day. A side beneift that I've noticed has been that my vision has improved. I often have bouts of seeing light distortion, very similiar to how the heat coming off hot pavement looks. This makes it very hard to see and gives me a slight eye headache. Must have been BP related.

Two years ago a doctor tried to put me on high blood pressure medicine and I refused. I have been trying to regulate it with just a few supplements with varied luck. The doctor said it was holding around 146/88 or so. I have found it up in the 150/92 range but only with stress and exhaustion. With the Michael's Blood Pressure Factor (naturopathic) I have kept it down to 134/76 avg. So two nights ago I started sipping the "recipe". I use 1 shot glass of ACV to same of Aloe Vera juice or gel to 8 oz water and a heaping spoonful of raw honey. Today my lowest reading. I was cleaning and sat down to take the reading. It is a battery operated cuff and I do a little deep breaths before starting. My pulse was 79 and my blood pressure (checked it twice) was 123/64 then 118/64... Something is working... In addition I have lost the brain fog and my energy level is starting to climb.

I am a 49 year male that has bordered on high blood pressure for some time. I do not smoke, am not overweight and have always done some level of exercise. I do have a family history of HBP. My last visit to the doctor I had a BP of 157/101. My wife (an RN) confirmed this over the next two days. The instant solution was to put me on drugs. I refused wanting to do some research and see if there was some way I could take control of this problem. I found this web site and with some other info I gathered, I changed a few things: 1. I have been taking ACV - 2 tablespoons with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and a bit of water 3 times a day for 3 weeks - hint: plug your nose with your fingers, drink up and don't let go of your nose for about 10 seconds; 2. I have been taking one 6000mcg allicin Garlic pill per day; 3. I take one low dose 81 mg aspirin when I go to bed; 4. I have been walking 30 minutes per day; and 5. I cut salt right out of my diet. I went out bought a good automatic BP monitor and have been keeping a log of my BP with 3 readings per day at my doctors insistence (to prove I should go on medication). My BP as of 10 am this morning is 121/78. I am sure it is a combination of things but thought I should let other skeptics like me know that there is something real about this natural black magic, but you must commit to making a few changes. I will return to my doctor in a month with my BP log and we agreed at that time we will decide if I should go on BP medication. I hope to continue on this path and have one heck of a surprise in store for him. I'll keep you posted.

I take ACV twice a day usually before meals (Lost 36lbs). Around 8:00pm I became very upset and the back of my neck up to my head was throbbing and became sick at my stomach. I pulled up blood pressure on this site and remembered to take ACV and I did two tablespoons within 15 minutes the pain went away and I was very calm and the nausea went away. Organic is the best.

Hello - I just wanted to say how happy I am with the results of the Apple Cider Vinegar for a reduction of my blood pressure. The doctor was telling me that my blood pressure was too high 142/93 and was going to put me on medication if I did not get those numbers down. I did not want to take any medication and Googled your website and read about those that had written in about the positive results they were having with Apple Cider Vinegar - so I decided to try it and after only a month of using my "remedy" of about 1 TBS of _____ Apple Cider Vinegar to 8oz of grape juice 2x per day that my blood pressure went down to 133/82. My doctor was happy and so was I. I also feel a lot less achy in my joints too. So thank you, thank you for this simple remedy - it worked for me!

Results of use of ACV: I began to take it after suffering some bouts with acid reflux, I have yet to have another bout since taking it months ago. I was also experiencing problems with allergies such as congestion and runny nose. All of the symptoms are gone. For the pas three years my blood pressure readings had been high like 158/94. My last very recent physical almost floored my physician when it read 128/68. I am convinced.

Apple Cider vinegar brought my blood pressure down in 2 weeks. I always had low normal blood pressure. But when I recently went to the MD for allergy medicine my blood pressure was 140/98! I freaked out, which made it worse. I should have realized something was wrong because my heard had been pounding and racing for a few weeks, and I felt different. I started with a juice fast for 2 days and I drank the cider vinegar 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I really watched what I ate (no added salt) and did a lot af areobic exercise. I went back to my yoga and mediation also. The first 9 days, my pressure was still high. But at the 2 week mark it was back to 113/79. Now I am continuing with the cider vinegar and watching my salt intake. I am eating only healthy foods. I feel great! And NO MEDS!

To Connie from Columbia City, Indiana: I too, had Hypothyroid disease (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) - I had it for 15 and a half years. During that time, I found that I had to take Vitamin E (low dose to begin with and build up gradually b/c the initial effect is to increase BP (overall, the effect is to lower BP), Lugol's Iodine, Multi-B vitamin, separate B-5 (pantothenic acid) for stress, and a high-protein diet. I hope this helps

I had two (2) strokes within the pass seven years. I use to take herbs but life happens and I forgot. when I start taking ACV my blood pressure has been averaging 190/185. after I started taking ACV, within three week my blood pressure has been 110/64 for the pass three months. this is without me taking all the meds the doctor had given me. I have two blood pressure kit that I use constanly, so I won't have any surprises.
I also had acid reflux , and it was so bad that I couldn't sleep no more than three or more hours at night , setting up.
Thank God for ACV. The meds that I was give, stop acid from being produce in my stomach, which kept the food from digesting which caused constipation. I took ACV. and slept like a log and have been taking it for the past few months. WHAT I TOOK MAY BE MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU BECAUSE EVERYBODY BODY IS DIFFERENT, YOU HAVE TO SEE WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE GOOD RESULTS. IT TRULY IS THE BEST THING YET!

My blood pressure was 140/90 and my sugar was between 112 & 120. I started on the vinegar. Since I check my blood pressure and sugar everyday i kept a record. After the vinegar my blood pressure is now 127/70 and my sugar is between 80 & 100. It went down after about five days. It also helps cholesterol.
