Comments on: Apple Cider Vinegar: Just Another Vinegar Or Medical Marvel? http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/2008/07/25/apple-cider-vinegar-just-another-vinegar-or-medical-marvel/ No Diets, No Cardio, No Excuses Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:59:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mike OD http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/2008/07/25/apple-cider-vinegar-just-another-vinegar-or-medical-marvel/comment-page-1/#comment-14948 Mike OD Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:00:01 +0000 http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/?p=398#comment-14948 Unless you have a medical condition or notice any side effects, I imagine small doses of ACV in water can be sustained over long periods of time. 1-2 tablespoons a day (in enough water) shouldn't have an issues....but again, not a doctor so see how you feel. I've used it off and on for years. As for the whole cholesterol myth.....all I can say is that statins seem to do more harm than any lowering of cholesterol would do (if you triglycerides are in check). You can watch this video for more explanation on cholesterol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awA2fsa94MI and I am sure if you google "cholesterol myth" you will get plenty of info on it too.

As a extra benefit, my total cholesteral has dropped 39 points (from 249 to 210), my bad LDL cholesteral has dropped 29 points (from 152 to 123), my triglycerides has dropped 70 points (from 245 to 175), and my good DHDL cholesteral has gone up 4 points (from 48 to 52). I was not anticipating this extra benefit, as I originally started to take ACV for my arthirits pain. One problem is that ACV eats tooth enamal. The answer is to drink ACV through a straw. I have just about finished my second bottle of Bragg, Organic ACV (32 fluid ounces). I drink anywhere from 2 to 3 classes per day of ACV mixed with honey. I was wondering how long I can stay on ACV, as I don't know what the long term effects might be. (Note: I think I should add that I am currently not on any kind of medication. Although the doctor has been urging me to take cholesteral medicine for the last three years.)

I am not sure if this is the right forum to talk all abt SD. I am better of with SD now, Yes, I still get one or two bump once a while but it will subside within a few hours (3-4 hours, normally it takes weeks to subside). I dont have flaks and ithcy scalp anymore. My opinion on SD from chinese medicine point of view is that SD is the sign of a weak lever and kidneys. This can happen when you take too much of antibiotics, medicine, alcohol, sleeping pills, lack of sleep, stress, processed food and nutrition problem. So instead of trying to solve the scalp we should eliminate all this problem so that the lever and kidney can recover to normal health thus improving the self immunity of a person. I am now taking chinese herbs to improve the health of the kidney and lever, this will eventually resolve the SD. So far I am 95% done and I have full confident in my approach. For those who have SD check the back of your palm, you will find brownish spot like on the surface of your skin. This is a sign of a unhealthy lever. So I am trying to solve the root of the problem rather than the symptom of a problem created elsewhere. Two basic method to contain SD is to fast and take only organic food and vegetarian. Keep all topical medicine out. No shampoo can cure you SD, no ...zoles (make things worst) or soap can cure your SD, you can only do it through internal organ healing. The cream is Ling Zhi. Sorry I am suppose to talk about ACV and my explanation is wierd to the western world. Tq Bobby.

Thank you again and would be glad to have more comments on ACV. I am also having virgin coconut oil (laurid acid) both on my hair and diet. (Omega 3, fuirts, manganese, vitamins..). I am a Chinese from South East Asia and rice is our main source of food. Will give that a thought. Pleo-diet! Will definitely find out more. I must say that i am so happy to receive your online comments and support from the other side of the world. Thank you.
