Apple Cider Vinegar for treating diabetes is an interesting subject. Diabetes is becoming more and more common, and there may be various reasons for this phenomena, but it must be remembered that it is not only extremely serious, but needs proper medical care, and a strict adherence to dietary rules and medication, as prescribed by your doctor.
It is however interesting to note that added dietary fiber, such as contained in apple cider vinegar, is beneficial in controlling blood glucose levels.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Diabetes can help control blood sugar levels but must be used alongside your prescribed medications

Lipitor is a common drug given to lower cholesterol levels. However, some people find the side effects too unpleasant-aching joints and muscle aches to name a few.
A good friend of mine found herself on Lipitor and seemed to have every side effect known! After discussing it with her Doctor she came off the Lipitor and started taking cider vinegar tablets. Her Doctor had seen fantastic results in the past. She combined this with regular exercise and low and behold!! Her next blood test showed that her cholesterol had dropped to normal levels.
As always, please discuss any changes of your medications with your Doctor first.
It may not work for everyone but in my friends case the battle of Lipitor Apple Cider, the natural remedy worked.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a great health tonic for dogs. Listed below are a few ways Organic ACV can help you out as a dog owner.
1. Pest Fighter- a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in your dogs water bowl will keep then free of fleas and ticks. A teaspoon is the correct doe for a 20kg dog.
2. Is Your Dog’s Urine Burning the Lawn?- Yellow spots on the lawn are normally caused by urine.Nitrogen waste products are the result of protein breakdown through normal bodily processes, therefore the nitrogen in the urine causes the lawn spots. We all know that Nitrogen is a great fertiliser but not in these doses! That is why the outside of the green spot is quite lush. A dose of one teaspoon to one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (depending on the size of the dog) per day will neutralise the Nitrogen and should solve the problem. The apple cider vinegar can be added to the dog's water or put directly on his food.
3. Puppy accidents-If your puppy is still being house trained here is a great tip for cleaning up 'accidents' from your carpet. Colour Test a small inconspicuous piece of your carpet first. Then simply sprinkle some Apple Cider Vinegar over the accident then after a few minutes simply blot with a damp cloth. An even better result can be achieved by using ordinary distilled white vinegar.
So, there you have it. The best tips for Organic Cider Vinegar for Dogs.

Despite the fact that there is no hard proof that Apple Cider Vinegar tablets can help you loose weight, many people are convinced that they can help with weight lose and fat burning.
However, there is sound proof that Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets are an excellent source of potassium which is a mineral that is crucial for the everyday functioning of your body. They also contain anti-oxidants which help in the fight against the harmful affects of free radicals. They may also play a role in maintaining a healthy immune system.

Apple cider vinegar is a very effective treatment for arthritis. Acid crystals are found everywhere in the body but when they form in the joints the joint becomes stiff and painful, prematurely aged if you like.
One or two teaspoons of cider vinegar, a dash of honey, dissolved in a glass of warm water and taken twice a day will help your body break down the crystals that have formed in the joints. While this is not a cure for arthritis it will make living with the condition much easier. The joints will feel younger and more like a well oiled joint should.
Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a local treatment for painful swollen joints. Make a solution of one part cider vinegar to six parts warm water. A painful hand or foot can be soaked in this solution for ten minutes three times a day. You can also soak a flannel in the warm solution and apply it to painful knees,elbows or which ever joint is causing you problems. Again, this should be done three times daily.
As I said before, Apple cider vinegar will cure the pain of arthritis, not cure the arthritis itself.
You should try it-what have you got to loose? Stiff painful joints of course!!

Having suffered from breast cancer I am careful about what I eat and what I put on my skin. I no longer use chemical deodorants which contain large amounts of aluminum but instead use a deodorant made from Apple cider vinegar.
Its easy to make and cheaper than over the counter deodorants. I perfume the deodorant with lavender oil but any perfumed oil can be used.
1 part water
1 part cider vinegar
a few drops of lavender oil
Simply mix together and put in a spray bottle. When applied to the skin the vinegar smell will evaporate within a few minutes and you will remain fresh and dry all day long with your homemade Apple cider vinegar deodorant.

It is commonly believed that heartburn is caused by excessive acid in the stomach. It actually occurs when there is not enough of the right acid to digest food correctly.
The acid in question is Hydrochloric acid and when there is not enough to digest food properly the food starts to break down and produce organic acids which cause heartburn. This is the start of a cycle. Most people at this stage will take an over the counter antacid which neutralise the acid and HEY they feel better. Only for a while though. The action of the antacid leaves the stomach alkaline and more hydrochloric acid is then produced to finish the digestion process. Hope this is all making sense!
Anyway and now to the point of this tale. Cider vinegar is rich in an acid called Malic Acid, which increases the acidity of the stomach therefore aiding digestion.
The favourite way of taking Apple Cider vinegar for heartburn in our house is in this tasty Apple Cider Vinegar Cocktail first used by the health pioneer Paul Bragg. Here is his recipe.
1 heaped teaspoon of honey
2 teaspoons of Apple cider vinegar
glass of warm water
Simply mix the ingredients together and drink.

These should always be addhered to and the taking of Cider vinegar to lower your blood pressure be looked on as an additional help for your poor overworked body!
Cider vinegar contains potassium which is a mineral required for healthy heart muscle and therefore good heart function. Potassium also lowers the level of acids within the body which have a diluting effect on the blood which in turn helps lower the blood pressure.
A glass of water with two teaspoons of cider vinegar three times a day will be your contribution in your fight to lower your blood pressure. Go on, you've nothing to loose!

Now that I'm going through the menopause as a result of my breast canser treatment my weight has started to creep up-help!
Now everyone knows that sensible eating and exercise are the best ways to loose weight and that's what I have been doing but as you'll not be surprised to hear Cider vinegar is playing an important role in my weight loss programme.
Along with cutting out fatty foods, butter cheese cream etc and increasing fruit and vegetable intake I also have a desserspoonful of cider vinegar in a glass of warm water twice a day. This acts as a diuretic to flush out toxins and get ride of any excess fluid.
I'm not saying for a minute that taking cider vinegar for weight loss is the whole story but combined with gentle exercise and healthy eating it certainly seems to be working. Where's that bikini?!

The so called Cider Vinegar Diet has provoked controversy and acceptance in almost equal measure over the years.
Apple cider vinegar has a combination of acidic vinegar and fruit pectin and this combination is said to be the reason behind the cider vinegar diet and its "fat burning effects".
Using the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
To gain benefit from the cider vinegar diet you are supposed to take one, two, or three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Many people find it difficult to get three teaspoons down initially but most get used to it after a few days. Taking more than three spoonfuls is likely to provoke stomach discomfort and is not likely to give you any more benefit.
Does the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Work?
This is where the controversy comes in!
Like many other diets, it's not clear as to whether there are any properties in the vinegar that will actually help you lose weight. Is it the fact that you eat smaller portions than before or is it directly related weight loss due to the cider vinegar?
The dieticians and traditionalists take the former view - the alternative therapists and cider vinegar adherents see it the other way round?
My advice to you would be to try it for yourself and see if it works.
