Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Funny the difference in individuals. Raw ACV (such as Bragg's etc) gives me severe diarrhea, which can last for hours or even a whole day. Honey has done the same thing to me, btw. Kefir does the same thing. I don't know why, but it is frustrating that all these things said to help with GI so much just make me suffer even worse. sol wrote: > Ok.... > > ..drastically reduced flatulence > ..better-formed, bulkier stools > ..less " urgency " > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't know cause I'm not a chemist . But everything I've read states that the yeast ferments the sugars into alcohol and then specific bacteria break down the alcohol into acetic acid. The " mother " is accumulation of a nontoxic slime composed of acetic acid bacteria and soluble cellulose. I've also read that people who have adverse reactions when taking ACV could be experiencing die-off of the yeast in the intestines, and that if there are reactions one should drink more water with it.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You're right sol, there are yeasts in natural vinegar, and if you dilute the acidity and add food they will start to work it again. I had missed the incorrect post; the acidity stops growth, it does not kill the bacteria and yeasts outright. Duncan > > > > .......

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi all, I'm new to the forum but just wanted to share my two cents about kombucha. I've been drinking GTs kombucha (16 oz bottle/day) and I've never felt better. I usually buy the green food (chlorella, lactobacillus, etc.) or the gingerade flavor. I'm making other dietary changes as well but kombucha does not affect me adversely. If anything, it gives me a pretty good energy boost and clears my head between lunch and dinner although it is not caffeinated. I was also on Bee's forum and just could not agree with her about this. Maybe other folks have problems with it?

Hi there. What is your name please? Some candida sufferers aren't able to tolerate apple cider vinegar, so that was good you stopped having it. In any case candida cannot be cured by killing it off. It is only cured by building up the immune system with proper nutrients (my diet & supplements) and by eliminating toxins, foods that feed candida and foods that are damaging. I recommend you read " How To Successfully Overcome Candida " so you understand all about candida, why it overgrows, the damage it causes, and the diet and supplements necessary and why: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/candida/index.php Also read " Curing Candida, How to Get Started " ; http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php After you read please get back to us with questions or concerns.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks, Camille. I had to do something. My BP started dipping into the “normal” range after the first day of taking the ACV. More normal readings on the second day. By the third day, all readings were normal and have remained in the normal range ever since. My husband and I are utterly stunned. We cannot see it as some coincidence. It seems to be so simple a solution so we’re wondering why on earth it wasn’t mentioned before (doctors). Anyway, I’m extremely grateful that the regimen has been successful for me. I had begun to be very worried, and I confess, afraid about what might happen should I not be able to get it down.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I mix two tablespoons ACV with about ½ tablespoon (+ or -) clear Karo syrup and just a little water. That concoction makes about ½ a cup. I use a straw to get it down then follow that with a glass of water and a cracker to get the taste out of my mouth. I’d use honey—and tried it even though I don’t like honey—and it wasn’t bad but it burned my throat. The Karo seems to work better for me. Also the straw seems to make it a bit more palatable. Maybe that’s because it gets past some of the taste buds on the tongue and seems to go down much more quickly. I do this once a day and so far that seems to be enough for me. When I read others’ “recipes” online, it all varied from teaspoons to tablespoons—sometimes one at a time, sometimes two at a time throughout the day. Not sure what works for everyone (if/when it works), I just found that 2 T works for me. Good luck with it, ; I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Let me know.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Amen to that, . It had become alarming and I was truly scared. I felt I had pretty much had enough surgeries and procedures last year; I wasn’t looking to go through more or go into sudden kidney failure. That’s an experience I’d just as soon forego if I can avoid it. Thanks for passing on the bit about your Grandma. Just helps add some validation, you know? All I know is that since taking it, my BP has gone down and that in itself is a miracle. I’m so very grateful—and relieved—for this outcome.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Apple Cider Vinegar (organic & unpasturized) has helped me alot with the candida (along with very low sugar diet & almost not wheat products). How should I be taking it to avoid tooth sensitivity? I've tried drinking it through a straw, but find that might not be enough. I've read somewhere if you neutralize it with about 1/4 or less baking soda this will eliminate the acidity that's detrimental to your teeth. I've also tested the ph & it does greatly lower the ph, so, my question is, is this adequate to help avoid tooth damage? And to those who take acv, what are your recommendations?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I suggest that you might have hypochlorhydria, insufficient stomach acidity. It causes reflux, and ACV is much less acidic than what should already be in there so would not affect reflux much. If you think the ACV contains enough sugar to affect dysbiosis and candida, change it.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 > > Dearest Bee, thank you for getting back to me about the HCI supplements-I will order today. However, I have this gallon of Bragg ACV that I don't want to waste--no one but me uses it- you don't recommend the acv? is this becasue it will feed the candida? I will not take it if you say not to although I've read that acv is a great nutrient?! I will do what you advise as I look forward to being a success story. +++Hi Phyllis. No, I don't think ACV feeds candida. It has been known to cause problems for most candida sufferers, and I couldn't tolerate it when I was curing my candida. I haven't been able to figure out why. So it better to eliminate it for now. You can use it later on, so it will not go to waste. We know that most of the people following my program are not taking ACV and yet they still get well, so ACV isn't that important, even if it does contain good nutrients. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Phyllis, Can't you just keep the vinegar in the back of the fridge until you need it? I use vinegar to bleach my counters. Don't know if acv would work as well. I do know though that a great use for vinegar is spray it to soak weed leaves of a sunny morning and it kills them.

Someone else may have other uses they can give. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I would like to use this vinegar but I understand that apple cider vinegar probably has mold. Is there an amount of Vit. C powder that would make a quart of ACV OK to ingest? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 WOAH! stop right there. I've been following Dr. D'Adamo's blood type diet for some 5 years and know for a fact that vinegar is an avoid for my blood tye (Type A). I took the time to look it up prior to writing this and can report that according to his Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia Vinegar (Apple Cider) is listed as an avoid for Type A's because it " Provokes abnormal blood reaction. " It is Neutral for Type B and Type O (Secretors) For Type AB it is also and avoid because " Gastric irritant; inhibits proper digestive function. " Now something else that needs to be explored when it comes to vinegar is to remember it's ph value being acidic. I've been told that cancer loves an acidic environment and can not live in an alkaline one. For me personally I asked my ND about the different avoids and I mentioned vinegar. He explained that it could cause me to experience joint pain. I did experiment with it and can confirm that even a minute amount of vinegar will result in joint pain for me. Saurkraut is also an avoid for Type A. However, my dad used to make his own and I ate some. It was wonderful and I continued eating it for a while. I discovered kefir and started including that in my daily routine then all of a sudden the saurkraut provoked a gag response from me. From that I concluded that I needed what the saurkraut provided but once I had a source better suited to my body - it let me know it didn't care for the saurkraut any more. I firmly believe that ALL foods should be tested. An easy test to do is to hold the item (packaged and still in the store is best) with both hands around the thymus area. Imagine a pendant necklace - the thymus would be around where the pendant would hang. Ask yourself a question " Is this good for me? " If you feel like it's sending you backwards the answer is no. If you feel it pulling forward then it's yes. Do keep a clear open mind when doing this. If you aren't occasionally surprised by the results then you may not be getting the right answers. Here's an example - Dad was at the store and really wanted ketchup. I told him it was an avoid but he really wanted it. He self tested and the answer was yes. He bought the ketchup got it home and I tested him using kinesiology and it was a solid clear avoid. While disappointed about no ketchup Dad did learn that it was important that he tested without caring what the results were.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 But I thought that although ACV is acidic, it actually has an alkalising effect?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I am knowledgeable about Blood Type Diet. The reasons foods have a particular classification (beneficial, neutral and avoid) is due to testing on each blood type. I probably should have NOT mentioned about acid and cancer but did feel it should also be considered. I know from personal experience that vinegar - ANY TYPE - will cause me problems. I know from BTD (blood type diet) I should avoid vinegar because it is an avoid for my blood type. (Type A) The reason I chimed in was I basically " freek out " when I see something being recommended across the board. We are all different and what works for one may be very wrong for someone else especially something that is injested. Some thngs may actually cause harm. I have personal experiece with vinegar and know it does cause me harm. I liked this advice someone posted on another user group : " Take this simple test promoted by the late Dr. Coca. Prior to eating, take your pulse. Eat one item and wait 10 minutes. Take your pulse again. If the pulse rate differs by more than 10 pulses, either up or down, you are reacting to that particular food item. Most of the time the pulse rate goes up but there are occasions when it slows down. Either way, that food item is not in homeostasis. " Re: Re: apple cider vinegar But I thought that although ACV is acidic, it actually has an alkalising effect?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Dorothy, that is my understanding as well, also Dr. has tested it and it does contain a certain amount of mold! But not sure if it's enough to upset the system and vitamin C inhibits the growth. I have heard of blood types but not sure I believe the research??? There may be underlying reasons for reactions to foods, like parasites:) Blessings, Kat > > > WOAH! stop right there. > > > > I've been following Dr. D'Adamo's blood type diet for some 5 years and know for a fact that vinegar is an avoid for my blood tye (Type A).
