I take ACV sometimes just for the health benefits. I do not have high blood pressure. I notice I feel very tired sometimes and dont know what it is. I was tested for diabetes but it came out negative. Anyway, 2 weeks ago, I was too lazy to measure out 1-2 TBS of the ACV to be drank with apple juice, so I just poured it in the juice and gulped it down. It must be up to 3-5TBS. 2 days later, I went to the doctors to get my monthly prescription of iron capsules as I was diagnosed with anaemia. It turned ut my BP was low. And this explained why I used to be tired. SO, I'm assuming the "overdose" of ACV I take sometimes is the culprit. I was told to eat more salt and lie down with a pillow under my feet for a short time everyday, for the blood to be able to flow to my head. The tiredness has reduced greatly. But I have stopped taking ACV except for topical use on my hair and my skin.

Hello Everyone! Just chiming in with something I've discovered. I'd always wondered why 'Apple Cider Vinegar' was not the miracle for me as it is has been for so many others.
My first clue begins with a sesame tahini sauce I like to make with apple cider vinegar, water, salt and cayenne pepper added to a big salad.
After eating this, I never connected my racing pulse to anything in particular.
Many times my cheeks would even flush! I've always used the _____'s organic brand too.
Anyway, my intuition told me that maybe I should leave the vinegar out of my recipe next time and see what happens. Lo and behold, no racing pulse. I still did not connect this to an allergy though.
Then, today, I come across an e-book by Dr. Coca called the "The Pulse Test". In it, he explains that EVERY single time a person consumes something they are allergic to, their pulse will be higher than normal. This book was written in 1956! Why didn't I know about this method before?
Thinking back, I can clearly remember my pulse racing after certain meals... But who would have thought Apple Cider Vinegar could be one of the culprits!
I do not eat dairy or wheat of any kind... but it might be time to also give up the Quinoa too, since ALL grains can expose you to cross-contamination issues.
This E-book is now considered public domain.
I have posted it online for all of you to read freely, where it describes the simple method to determine all of your food allergies once and for all and give your poor immune systems a break! :-)

I sincerely hope this helps someone out there!

I have been taking 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of ACV in apple juice per day on and off. I noticed that within a few days of taking ACV my skin gets very, very dry, and at time it gets quite scaly. So I discontinue taking it and my skin improves almost immediately. Do other people have this problem with their skin while on ACV and if so how do they solve it? I would like to continue taking ACV to lower my blood pressure.
This problem with dry skin reminds me of a time when I had too much vitamin A from fish oil. In fact the fine print on a cod liver oil bottle warns people against takikng too much oil because of excessive Vitamin A and the problems with dry skin. I quit taking cod liver oil a year ago, so the dry skin problem is from ACV. I also take herbal tea, such as Chinese blood pressure tea and nettle tea. Do you think that these teas in combination with ACV would dry the skin? Thanks.

Hi, I just started taking Apple Cider Vinegar about four days ago. I have never had a problem with body odour before but tonight I have noticed the Apple Cider Vinegar smell coming from me. Is this to be expected? Why is it happening and and how does it work?'
Thank you,
Eric

Hi All. I'm also hypothyroid. Taking synthroid for YEARS. Have tried almost all of them (thyrolar worked until they changed formulation about 6 years ago). Anyway, I will try Armour or dessicated since most of you are on it. As for ACV: had used a few times with no problems. Then I mixed it with distilled water trying to do a 2 day fast. The headache was so severe that nothing including eating or migraine med worked for it. Awoke with headache again next day but did eat all during the day. The ACV made me feel like I had the flu and I was itchy - detoxing me???
By day three, however, I was fine. I have been using the mixture (although not always with distilled water) and am not having any more symptoms. I'm waiting to see the benefits -been on this daily for a week. My Grandma swore by ACV, lived to 96 years and hadn't been to a doctor in over 40 years. I lost about 4 pounds the first two days but now that seems to have stopped and I have the usual bloated look. That's dissapointing because I am taking ACV to lose weight as well as general good health.

Hello All, found this site few weeks ago & am loving it. Started on ACV, it having all the good stuff in it, ie, Organic & Mother! Thing is, since I started my sleep patterns, which were very bad, are now impossible. The only things I have changed in my diet (which is good) is my introducing ACV & Coconut Oil. Sleep won't come. Any thoughts?

I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar drink; 2 teaspoons in grapefruit juice, 2 x a day.... It constipated me so badly I could not believe it... When I finally 'went' it was the bursting of the dam, so to speak.... I stayed off it for 2 weeks, then back on, again the same thing happened.... Again, off 2 weeks, then tried a THIRD time; same results... I have no idea why this is happening, but am afraid I'll never be able to use the ACV drink again.. Any thoughts? or similar experiences?? I am really shocked that this happened to me....

My husband was experiencing extreme pain in his side and to his lower back together with nausea. We went for blood tests, X-ray and cat scan - nothing. I was so happy to find this site. We started 1TBSP ACV daily with teaspoon of honey. The attacks stopped for 2 1/2 weeks and on Thursday he had another one but this one did not stop: nothing I tried helped and eventually 4pm Friday he was admitted into hospital as we could not stop the nausea or the pain: he was dehydrated. They put a camera down into his stomach which they say is red and inflamed and that ACV is too acidic. I have since read that you recommend less and to put a little in your water all day. DO YOU THINK IT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD HAVE DONE THIS TO HIS STOMACH? We are still headed for an MRI, ultra sound and a bone scan. I am feeling really guilty if the ACV could have done this to his stomach. I will continue using the site for myself because I think it is amazing but not for my husband. I really would appreciate comments from Ted or anyone else who may be able to help. Thank you.

Love to read your site, spend hours reading it. Have learned a lot. One question seems to bother me. I seem to notice that the ACV is getting me very constipated. I tried the BSM but I will stop it because of the sugar content. Has anyone had this problem? I haven't seen it posted. What do you all suggest that I do? Thanks for your feedback! I'm 80 yrs. old. Evelyn
