Thanks for the info Sharron!

Sharron,

I've got a question for you. Do you think it would be harmful to the ACV if I prepared a large batch of the the ACV drink and kept it in the 'frig? I think it would be so much easier if I could prepare a quart at a time and get a glass before my meals. I didn't know if that would kill the healthful properties of the ACV.

OK, I am jumping on the acv with the rest of you. Got my bottle of Braggs today and can't wait to get started. Thanks so much for all the great info!

kelli, I can't see any reason why it would be a problem. I make kefir smoothies to drink on for several days, we do Ktea for a week, I don't see any difference here...?

Welcome Renee

Thank you, Sharron.

Angela, you can douche with a small amount of acv and pure water. The acv internally should help it go away as well -- in fact, my initial thought is that this might be a detox reaction to the acv.

Go see a doc if you aren't better tomorrow, oK?

I'd hesitate w/Splenda since it is chlorinated sugar. If it was stevia, I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself. Splenda is another story...

thanks for the tip.. kids are off to bed and im off to try and remidy my problem.. would it help in that short of time.. by tommrow?

cuz i can proly get in to my doc tommrow since i have off work... so fingers crossed it goes away i hate going to that DOC..

thanks for the tip on the premixing.. i was looking about purchaseing some stevia.. so..might just do that and see what i think about that..

awwwww, we have a big family of ACV users and steadily growing. This is just wonderful.

Now i wonder if i rubbed ACV on my belly every day would that help to shrink it down some, lol. Ok, i can wish right, lol.

And speaking of the weird looks at work, i took a small bit of acv in a container to work with me and one girl asked me was i drinking urine now, lol. After i laughed so hard at her, i then told her what it was.

Oh i almost forgot something, today while i was working out and the sweat started to drip into my eyes, it did not burn, normally i have to close my eyes and keep wiping it away, but it didnt burn this time. Also it did not taste salty at all, it actually had not much of a taste at all to it, im not sure if its because the ACV and/or Ktea have started to detox my system or what, but something is definetly going on.

I just feel great yall, really wished everyone could feel this way, wow.

Hello, all! I upped my amounts to 1 tsp before each meal today, and I think that will be a good dose for me. Will mix it up in a bottle to take to work w/me. Interesting to me, since starting the ACV, I just *know* that I should not have more than 2 mugs of coffee. It's weird, but my body just says "no-no". Cool though, I guess. Today I REALLY wanted a third cup, because I did not sleep well... but, my body wanted water not coffee. It's kind of cool being a little more in touch w/things, ya know?

Recommended it to my mom for her Fibromyalgia (sp?). She started on it today. Hope it helps her. Sharron, why/how is it supposed to help w/Fibro... is it just the sleep issue or is there more involved? Just curious.

BTW, my DH said that maybe we needed a "control" (that's my scientist ) so thought maybe he should take it too. Doubt he'll do it, but I'll let you know if he does.

Angela, I would think it would help because it just hit, yanno?

Celeste, I'm thrilled you are feeling so much better!!!

Debby, well, it helps with the FM because of all the minerals and enzymes in it. Also with the sleep issues. Also, a lot of folks with FM have candida and it helps eliminate that as well.

That is cool you are getting more in touch with your body's signals.

I slept better last night. I didn't take the acv right before bed, but I did have an extra dose of it and Ktea during the day... also a few cups of peppermint tea

Has anyone else noticed more intense dreams since starting the acv??? I have, also I remember my dreams more too.

ok, you can say it, I'm odd.


I am amazed daily how great I feel!!!!!!!!
