LET ME START BY SAYING I THINK THIS SITE IS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE ON THE INFO HI-WAY.. I had a sinus infection on and off for the last 15 years! I have tried everything and more from the regular md's including pain pills for years to get rid of that horrible head ache around my eyes and cheek bones. A couple of years ago while walking, I Met a man selling a book about Cancer cures/prevention. he had published the book himself and i was interested in prevention, and what he had to say. He told me that all Humans and animals would benefit greatly by drinking and BATHING in ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH THE MOTHERS... I found this to be very interesting and decided to do my own experiments and research, I have a dog who was beginning to get mange on her hind knee it was red and irritaded the vets wanted to give her some horrible medicine and she was clearly not feeling well.I held him over the sink and poured the Vinegar strait from the bottle over her infected knee she squirmed a bit probably from the stinging but a second later that smart pooch put her leg on my chest so i could at it better (as though she knew i was gonna fix her) after the first time it was 80% better and in two days that mange was gone! so I took a bath using the vinegar i probably used a quart as I buy it in gallon jugs ...I could not believe how I felt after one bath..."Reborn" is the word that comes to mind. after that one bath I began to take it orally, in the morning or anytime i had heart burn another ailment of mine...The ACV has worked wonders,also it took My skin tags off and made my skin and hair so much brighter.i also only use coconut oil for moisturizing and a small amount in my hair for dryness.

I started reading about baking soda and gave that a try too...I put a small box of baking soda with the vinegar in the bath. Amazing, all my aches and pains were gone! the skin on my knee caps looked like they were 12 years old, No ashiness,or dryness... now about the sinus infection, I was really sick, for a month in November and Dec.07 i had a crusty sore on the tip of my nose and I had laryngitis from working in year round air conditioning and the dry winds that plague California, and it was like the 5th time in a year that I had come down with it. Being a singer,with a weekly show this has been so depressing for me... so i took one tablespoon ACV and warm water in a Netti pot...you tip your head from side to side not backward. It burned I have to admit.... so I rinsed again with plain water to get the sting out. My eyes started to water and my throat hurt and I blew stones out of my nose! I am not kidding. the mucous changed from greenish yellow to clear almost immediately, The sore on the tip of my nose went away over night, i blew my nose after that for a week, as wads and wads of mucous came out..I could actually sing the next night! It was a Miracle for me...

Then I found your site on Oil Pulling I had never heard of it before and I mistakingly thought it I read safflower oil in stead of sunflower oil. I got the courage up to try it and could do no more than a couple of minutes. Now I doubt if I will ever go to the Doctor ever again! After one try with the Safflower oil my VOICE was better than when i was kid! As if the oil had lubricated all that was rough and scratchy! I am so amazed at the oil pulling, I wonder why no one ever talks about it publicaly as the best thing ever for well being, as one of your writers on this site put it "The virus was made in nature can be healed by nature too!" I am a true Believer and will do these remedy's for life.I could go on and on about the benefits of these homade remedy's that REALLY WORK!

started ACV on 30 Nov 07 and within 48 hrs noticed -
itchy/blurry eyes began to clear,
nasal passages cleared of persistent build up,
easing of soreness at the back of the throat,
joints working better and not "clicking",
increased muscle energy,
increased mental clarity and greater capacity to cope with complex information- generally having a more "can do" attitude rather than defeatist,
return of normal (how shall I put it) "libido",
reduction of constantly high body temperature and sweating (even in cold rooms),
reduction of facial redness /blotchiness,
disappearance of skin problems (peeling, dry, itchy),
reduction in "congested" feeling in lower abdomen (possibly a BPH problem),
calming of nerves,
feeling of increased well being after food (as opposed to food making me feel worse),

I've had the above aliments for many years so I should point out that the ACV has recently been added as part of an overall health promoting strategy which includes

Avoidance of ALL grains
Elimination of sugary foods
Keeping a watch on starchy carbs intake and changing to occasional rather than regular indulgence in hot spicy foods
Avoidance of mushrooms
Taking specific Vitamin and mineral supplements (especially Biotin)

Any non-ACV believers reading - make of this what you will. All I know is that after four days on ACV, I'm not imagining things. I've been dogged with the above ailments for years (caused, I believe, by the complete wrecking of my digestive and immune systems by antibiotics) and they are now on the wane. I'm guessing here, but I would say this is due to a more invasive attack on systemic Candida by the ACV.

At 50, Apple cider vinegar has given me my life back. I am hypothyroid and cannot take medication for it. I started by going totally organic and then added the apple cider vinegar. So far I no longer have:
Acid reflux
Restless leg syndrome
Fatigue
Muscle pain
Hemorrhoids
Night sweats
The need to get up 3 times a night to use the restroom.

I have so much energy now and my head is clear. I am curious to see what my thyroid levels are at now.

Following your advice about searching online for raw ACV with mother, I found a company called Ostlers, in Barnstaple, Devon, UK (ostlerscidermill.co.uk) and and was able to purchase directly from them. I find it very palatable, less acidic than the one I had been using previously. I have been taking it regularly twice a day and feel much more energetic, my skin is softer and my hair is less greasy. It is a wonderful thing! I recommended ACV to my sister who was on the verge of having diabetes and within two weeks her sugar levels returned to normal as well as her cholesterol levels. Thank you very much for this site and your advice. Maria

My husband and I went to see my mom whom I hadn't seen in years anyway she looked the same! Very youthful positive and joyful! I had a stomach ache(we had gone to a restaurant with super spicy food) anyway my mommmy showed me ACV and had me take 1 tsp. with some juice my cramping almost immediately went away and so now my husband and I were on a mission! First of all I've noticed that ACV is in almost all of these testimonials. Of course something that's biblical is what our bodies need??? So my thinning hair is not thinning anymore I put the ACV in my hair I spray it on my body in the shower leave it on for fresh looking skin, and then I drink it, I noticed it almost immediately flattens my tum tum. God is truly amazing! I can't wait to see him to thank him for so many things but you bet ACV will be on my long list! Susie in Phoenix, Az.

The best ACV is Raw ACV as the pasteurizing process takes out most of what is good about it. The _____ web site should explain the difference between the two, otherwise just do a word search on google or something. I have had experience with ACV since I was a child. It was something that my great-grandmother used and passed down to each generation after her. And today, I use it with my own family. It really does help with a myriad of issues.

i use apple cider vinegar topically for many things. so far, it has cured my teenage sons pimple out break(we now use it every night as a toner followed by coconut oil), athletes foot, fever blisters, styes, rashes, cleaned my sinks, windows(pretty much the whole house). i also started drinking it. 3 tblsp of acv in 8 oz. filtered water & 1/4 tsp baking soda everyday, 3 times a day. so far, i have lost weight, i have not been sick, i haven't suffered from allergies, i have more energy, and i noticed last week that a y shaped varicose vein is not even a connected v and it is flat (it was very much protruding before). i was pretty ecstatic about that! i am so excited by all the benefits that i tell everyone! my family jokes that i should put some in a windex bottle(they are referring to the father from the movie ''my big, fat greek wedding''. anyway, i now buy small bottles to put acv and coconut oil in. i have given these to my family, friends,& clients as samples. i write down the brands(and specify why) , & also your web site. they have all called me and asked where they can buy more. yeah! they have used it for there blemishes, those with diabetes have said it lowered their sugar levels. a couple of my clients who have eczema and psoriasis have told me they have been very impressed with the acv and coconut oil on their problem areas and for dry skin. wow!!! truly a miracle!!! i was also wondering if the 'nays' are using raw, unfiltered,organic acv? i have bought some in the past that did not work. after doing more research i had come to understand where i had gone wrong. i then bought acv and ''nutivas'' coconut oil. what a difference! oh!!!! i use the coconut oil on my woods! it's awesome!!!

in my experience ACV can make the skin more sensitive to sun. you can try using it diluted and washing it off before going outside. it takes to top layer of your skin off (the protective layer) and can also lead to sun burn if used daily in my experience. lemon and lime juice also do this. I always rinse it off with water before going out in the sun.
