Detox With Apple Cider Vinger

My Hand From Detox With Apple Cider Vinegar

I started drinking ACV a month and a half ago and two weeks ago my body started to detox because I was drinking too much of it.

I was drinking so much because it was making me feel real good. I could think clearer, etc. My body detox badly.

I stopped drinking ACV two days ago, but my hands on both sides have boils and blisters bad. The blister are breaking and clear fluid keeps coming out. I also have severe itching that I am experiencing and it is out of control.

My question is, "How long is my body going to keep detoxing?"

Phill in New York

Hi Phill,

So sorry to be so long in answering your question. My dear mother went to be with the Lord on the day you wrote and this is the first chance I've had to reply to your question.

First of all, when you tried to detox with apple cider vinegar, how much vinegar were you drinking per day?

Secondly, were you using raw, organic apple cider vinegar, like Bragg's? Or were you just using regular processed apple cider vinegar that you buy in the grocery store?

Your reaction is quite severe and unusual. It is not common to have such a strong reaction with blisters and boils when using the right kind of ACV.

Are you still suffering from the symptoms or has your skin now cleared up? I'd like to hear back from you and see if I can help you further.

To your good health!
Angie

Detox with Apple Cider Vinegar Question NEW
by: Angie

Hi TLG,

I've never heard of anyone having that type of reaction to the apple cider vinegar, but I don't think it is detox symptoms. It sounds more like an allergic reaction because it is happening so quickly.

It's unusual (in my experience) for someone to be allergic to organic ACV, but it's certainly not impossible. We can be allergic to just about anything.

You probably started out with too much (2 tablespoons is 6 teaspoons). It would be better to start with 1 teaspoon and work your way up.

Having said that, your reaction is still unusual and I would be very careful about continuing with the ACV. It's completely up to you, of course, but if you do decide to continue, consider starting with just a little and allow your body the chance to adjust to it gradually.

Since you are trying to get rid of a sinus issue, you might want to consider an herbal detox instead, like Herbal Fiberblend. That's worked well for me.

ACV NEW
by: TLG

I started using this three days ago. It has caused, what apparently is a detox, immediately. Can you tell me if you are familiar with this happening with in a few minutes of consuming? I had about 2 tablespoons on Saturday and felt like I was having an anxiety attach, and very tight neck. Yesterday had 1 teaspoon and had it too, but not as severly, plus horrible sinus pain (which is the reason I started taking it). Today I put a capful in tea and drank half the glass, and it has been over an hour and I have the shaking, kind of dizzy feeling, and tight neck. It is braggs. Is this detox and how long does this usually last? Any help would be appreciated. I don't know if I should stay on it to try and help with the sinuses or stop. This is horrible.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar for Detoxing NEW
by: Angie

Hi Linsey,

You only want to use organic (unfiltered) apple cider vinegar, but if you live in the US, it's available in many grocery stores. The most common brand is Bragg's and you can also get it at GNC and just about any health food store.

Of course, you don't have to use Bragg's, but you do want to use an unfiltered form of ACV, that still has the "mother" in it. If you hold it up to the light, you can see that it has a cloudy mass in it.

When the filter the ACV for your typical salad vinegar, they remove all the goodness! :)

doses

Dear Angie,

After getting your advise, I reduced my intake to about 3 table spoonfuls totally. Unlike how I mixed it all up in my water bottle, I changed my intake to 3 times (morning before B/F, afternoon and night before bed.

Wonderful ACV Results
by: Angie

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that you have turned the corner and are getting better results. Praise the Lord!

Did you continue on with the full dose you were taking before, the 5 Tablespoons?

I'm just so thrilled for you that you are getting positive results with your detox with apple cider vinegar. I hope it continues.

Thanks, too, for your lovely words about my mother. I know she is at peace with the Lord and safe in His hands. I look forward to seeing her again one day.

Dear Angie,

Thank you for your reply. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt condolence for your mother.May she rest in peace!

Anyway, coming to my earlier post about Bragg ACV and my immediate not-so-pleasant experiences - I have a new situation!

today is my 6th day of using the Vinegar and Good Lord...have I the most marvelous things to say about it now!I just can't believe how the product has turned about for me from the 4th day onwards. No more funny feeling, diziness or fatique!yesterday, I looked at the mirror and stared at myself for a while...my skin had changed! I could not see my pores that were always visible!

My complexion got better today!I feel less tired. My eyes are clearer and I FEEL GREAT!

I now concur that whatever went through within me the first 3 days were just the irritable effects of intense detoxification.

I thank you, I thank bragg and I hope more people benefit from this amazing product.

best regards

Detox with Apple Cider Vinegar
by: Angie

You may be sensitive to organic ACV, but it may just be that you've started with too much. If you decide to continue, try starting with only 1 tablespoon per day.

You can gradually increase the amount every few days or so until you find your tolerance level.

Even things that can be good for you can also be bad for you if you use too much of it. And, of course, each of us can have a reaction to something that others have no problem with.

I hope you will still be able to get some benefit so that you don't feel you've wasted your money.

am I detoxing or not suited to use Bragg ACV?
by: Anonymous

Hi,

I am 33 a year old female writing from New Delhi.Getting my own bottle of Bragg ACV here was not easy as it is still unknown commercially in India.Nevertheless, I manage to get mine for a very high price (Rs.1,350 roughly 28 USD) and started taking Bragg acv 3 days ago.My initial experiences during the last 3 days were anything but helpful. I suffered from everything I wished to avoid! a day after taking it, I developed 2 blisters on my face. on the evening of the second day, I started having a severe headache which I went to bed with. I woke up this morning(third day) with the same headache. My day has been indescribable.I suffered horribly the entire day in the office. the headache further coupled with extreme fatique and dizziness. worse, I had a bout of indigestion and threw up badly at round 5 pm and also developed a third blister on my cheek. My exact feeling was like having a really bad hangover. I am so alarmed by my reaction as the dosages I took were also not more than 5 table spoonfuls for the entire day.what I did was add about 5 table spoons of the Vinegar to my water bottle that has a capacity of 1.5 lt which I sipped throughout the day.
Could anyone please tell me if this might be a normal detoxing experience? prior to Bragg,I had been on Heinz acv without any negative experience. I am so nervous now to even try taking it again. I just got well a few minutes ago and immediately started posting this. Would really appreciate some inputs. Thanks!

A cup of organic apple cider vinegar per day...
by: Angie

Hey Phill,

A cup of organic apple cider vinegar per day IS definitely too much for internal use, as you found out.

I'm sorry to hear that you are still suffering from the ill effects of overdoing it.

Of course, I've dealt with blisters on the skin before, but not from this particular cause. In fact, in some cases topical use of ACV can help heal up topical blisters. :) I wouldn't advise it in your situation, of course.

What I would suggest is that you begin taking probiotics asap if you are not already doing so. The good bacteria will help get your body back in balance more quickly and also help counteract any side effects you might experience from using the pretizone. I recommend trying Florafood.

If you find that the blisters are still occurring after a couple more weeks, start thinking of other things that may have changed in your life recently. Although the large amounts of ACV may indeed be the underlying cause of these blisters, the timing may also be coincidental.

Also, drink plenty of good water to help flush excess toxins out of your system more quickly.

Do keep me posted on your progress.
To your good health!
Angie
