Apple Cider Vinegar Combinations

Can I mix apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses, and iodine together in one drink? If I mix the ACV with the BSM will it still alkalize? Thanks.
Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil
Posted by Nublue26 (Chantilly, Va, Usa) on 10/31/2011
Can you take aloe vera and coconut oil at the same time? I don't mean literally together but as a part of the same regimen or should they be separate? I would like to take the aloe for my blood pressure and use the coconut oil to control my weight.

Nublue26, the coconut oil should be able to help with your blood pressure as well as weight :]
Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil

Take them separately, as they compete with one another for absorption. My nutritionist told me to take them at least an hour apart. I do use them both for their respective benefits, first the coconut oil in my morning coffee and then the aloe vera gel about an hour later. Hope this helps.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Medicinal Mushrooms
Posted by Timh (Louisville, Usa) on 10/29/2011 2048 posts
The other night I took 100mg Zinc/3mg Copper w/ popcorn and finished w/ 200mg ACV tab ---no problem. About an hr later I took 4 mushroom complex (Maitake, Shitake) and crashed asleep thereafter for about an hr and woke with a bad headache that lasted about 18hrs. Maybe some other personal factors, but could there be an interaction between ACV and medicinal mushrooms?

Hello,
I read recently a reply by Ted about which remedies can be mixed. I take sea salt, vitamin C, Borax, Apple Cider Vinegar, Magnesium as epsom salts, molasses, coconut oil, quinine, cats claw, mate, nettles, turmeric, neem, cinnamon, ginger and clove oil. Would any of these cancel each other out?
Thank you for a wonderful, life-saving website.
You truly are angels.
God Bless You and Ted Always

Thank you guys for your response to my question. Here's the thing though - I was told that grapefruit enhances the potency of the meds. In my case thyroid meds, not the opposite. So now I am more confused. Anyone else with a suggestion???

Hi Laura, The info you require should be on the leaflet inside the medication box. If there is any known interreaction between a medication and something it will be there. As Gail said her box has a warning sticker on it. My friend is on a few meds and now with her new one she was told not to have grapefruit with it, also Carly said she was told not to take something that would interact with her perscription so you should have been either told verbally or via a sticker or in the leaflet. If you are still unsure avoid the juice until you get your next script filled out and when you do ask the pharmacist if there is.

Hey EC:
Can anyone tell me if its unsafe to drink grapefruit juice with medication? Someone mentioned this to me the other day and I was stunned. Then I figure why not ask EC, the best people in the world in my opinion. Awaiting an early response. Thanks everyone.

you don't mention what meds you're on, but there should be a warning on the box, I have one on one of my blood pressure meds but not on the others, check with your pharma just to be sure, cheers

Hi Laura,
I was told not to take amoxicillin with citrus juices years back as it would make the amoxicillin weaker. I think there are quite a few things that don't go with O. J. and Grapefruit Juice.
If you do a web search putting in the name of your drug along with the words "interacts with" or "foods that react with" you should be able to see a list of them.
It seems like the doctors or pharmacists would tell us these things, but their time is so limited by the powers that they work for that they don't always have time for us patients. :-(
I had a doctor not tell me (also years ago) that while on the pill if you develop diarrhea it could possibly make the pill not work. I have a daughter today due to this. Blessings in disguise. lol.
Anyway, good on you for looking out for yourself, as in these times, your doctor most likely won't have the time. Sad, but managed health care is what it is.... and what it is is pretty crappy.
Best,
~Carly

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. As I am considering doing the following for herpes: Magnesium Chloride (topically applied to the area----ouch!!! ), colloidal silver (orally), olive leaf (orally), SLO (orally). In addition, I started taking Red Marine Algae (orally). Something has gotta work!! :(
I was wondering how much of this could be mixed and taken together, or what needs to be separated? I also do the ACV and Baking Soda remedy each morning and evening.
HELP!!!

You only need to keep taking coconut oil regularly to get rid of herpes.. Its a virus with a fat sheath around it. When the coconut oil strips the sheath the immune system kills them off. The ACV will colapse them when they start to show but will only stop the outbreak and won't rid the the body of the virus.
Bentonite Clay, Colloidal Silver
Posted by Max (Vancouver, British Columbia ) on 10/15/2011
If I'm drinking or inhaling colloidal silver, and thus have the particles in my blood and/or digestive system, and I'm also ingesting calcium bentonite clay, does the bentonite not absorb the colloidal silver? -making it counter productive to take both medicines at the same time?

It appears they may counter each other because of what Ted says below.
https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/remedy-combinations.html
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "No. Hydrogen peroxide will neutralize the vitamin C and other organic compounds in the apple cider vinegar. It is best taken for hydrogen peroxide with water alone, or at least 6 hours apart.
The reason is simple, hydrogen peroxide is an oxidant, while apple cider vinegar and baking soda is an antioxidant.
You can however, mix drops of hydrogen peroxide with baking soda in a drinking water. It creates a more alkaline form of peroxides which can also detoxify the body of accumulated poisons built up in the liver."

Hi all, I have just started taking H2O2 (2nd week), my question is, can I also drink ACV at the same time or will one upset the other? thanks in advance, Peter.
EC: See the thread we put your question on for an old post from Ted on the subject.
Apple Cider Vinegar, H2O2
Posted by Shawnnam (Lake Mills, Ia, Usa) on 09/12/2011
I am reading alot of information right now about the benefits of ACV & H202 and how some folks are able to mix these together my question is can I just use the H202 that you would buy at the drug store for a buck? And if so what would be the recommendations on how much water to use with ACV & H202 and do u do this 1x a day in the morning? Also I seen some others had suggestions to add to OJ to cut the taste does anyone else have any other suggestions on how to cut the taste? OJ kills my heartburn but I do want to try the ACV for my heartburn amongst other things that it can help u with along with H202. Any and all suggestions or directions would be so gratefully appreciated. Also going to have my hubbie use the ACV for athelets foot he's had it since we have been together which is close to 8 years but I know he's had it much longer then that so going to have him try it & will post his results once I am able to sucessfully able to convince him LOL.

Hello
No do not use hydrogen peroxide from the drug store it has additives that are not ment to be used internally. Google Guardian Of Eden they have the kind that you can use internally, but it is 35% and has to be diluted with distilled water down to 3 or 3.5 percent. Use only food grade Hydrogen Peroxide.

Need your advise if I can take fenugreek if I'm taking medicine such as Vit C and stress tab. Also, if you undergo operation, should you stop taking or have a rest? If so, how long?
Your replies are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Aki, Vit C and stress tabs are not meds. Fenugreek is a herb, you can take them all together, or separate them throughout the day, whichever you like. Cheers Lily.

Hi
Aki, If you are going to hospital for an operation they usually like you to stop taking supplements about 2 weeks beforehand. Some Drs now understand the importance of vit c and how any operation depletes the patient of vit c and so recommend it before and after the op (although I don't think many do). Here is a brief article:

I just started the Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon juice combo and I also have been taking cinnamon and honey for other ailments. Does the combonation of the two hurt me or help me and I started these two remedies because I am obese and bloating and have abnormal water retention and kidney disease, stage 3. I also want to start the granulated lecithin. Am I over doing it or is this ok?
Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Oregano Oil
Posted by Abc Pneumonia (Kansas City, Missouri, Usa) on 09/03/2011
This question is for Ted from Bangkok or Bill Thompson from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines, or anybody who is in the position to answer the question.
I am getting ready to start treating my difficult, resistant, hepatitis c virus with:
Butylated Hydroxytoluene and
Vitamin C and
Lysine and
Potassium Iodide.
And since the hepatitis c has been treated with a lot of things without remedy, I wish to add
Oil of Oregano to the treatment.
My question is:
Will there be any drug interaction which will be harmful to me or even neutralize the effect of the whole treatment? Please, anybody who is knowledgable on this question should do me a favour and answer me.
And if there is anybody out there who has treated resistant hepetitis c virus infection with anything other than interferon injection or chanca piedra(which is said to be very expensive), he or she please should let me know.
I have an experience with MMS Professional sold by Projectgreenlife. I used it for only sixty eight days and the viral load of my very resistant hepatitis c virus reduced from 486000 to nearly half. I was robbed of full treatment by the FDA. When I needed to buy more, the FDA had closed the office of the company. The company took FDA to court and won the case. When the company opened its office a few months later, and I bought the product, it never worked any more, because the organism developed resistance to the product. Although the company claims the hcv does not grow resistance to its product, my own experience shows that it does. If FDA had not stood in the way, by today, I might be singing halleluyah. Anyone that wants to try this ( although I am not in anyway recommending anything to anyone), should be ready to endure nausea, vomiting and stooling. I didn't have vomiting, but I had a lot of stooling.
Please, I wish to hear your suggestions.
Thank you and GOD bless.
