I do ACV 3x a day. In a cup of water, 1 tablespoon, I use a straw. I do this 30 minutes before eating...curbs my appetite...no longer crave sweets, have lost 80 pounds and kept it off for going on 3 years. I also do intermittentfasting, 16/8. I am 73, I am feeling better than ever. No prescriptions....it works for me 😊
i will start to do this also - i'm hearing 3x daily is ideal. well done on the weight loss! i'm 60 pounds down with 16/8 fasting and nutritious home eating
Some of it is a placebo effect. And since you have two variables, apple cider vinegar ingestion plus intermittent fasting you can't say which one is helping with your weight.
That is so true! Thanks so much Docs for all the research you both do and bringing all the other people on to help us learn and keeping us informed! Bless you both! 🥰🥰🥰
I have lost weight and lowered my BP since taking Apple Cider Vinegar. I went from 265lbs to 235lbs in 6 months. Also cut out a lot of pastas and breads. I try not to eat anything with more than 6 or 7 grams of sugar per serving. My BP was 149 /101 and dropped to 128/83 I look and feel so much better. I was putting 30ml of ACV to my bottle of water and my favorite flavored drink mix. I did it once before bed and then again as soon as I woke up in the morning. I love ACV. Went from a size 44 to 38 pants size
I have had kidney stones 3x now, and here are some tips and tricks I learned along the way. A heating pad applied to the painful area does wonders. I now prepare a gallon jug of water and I add like 5 table spoons of apple cider vinegar, | drink a few glasses a day. At first ! did not like it, but over time I am now craving it daily. I truly believe it threnses my thirst better than any other drink, even plain water. Anyways, I have never had a kidney stone after I started drinking this. It has been like 5 years. Look up apple cider vinegar benefits, you'll be amazed at all the benefits. Hope it helps somebody dealing with these nasties.
I’ve been taking cider apple vinegar for many years to reduce pain of osteoarthritis & it works well for me. 1 tablespoon in a glass of water 1 or 2 times per day, needed a knee replacement over 10 years ago, never had it done as pain reduced.
irregularly transit and constipation was my life for 40 years, then I started apple vinegar and now I already had 10 years of perfect transit and living "normally". 🤗
One soup spoon of vinegar in half a glass of water, rince with half a glass of water, every morning after breakfast. (You won’t like the taste) When on vacation for a week I don’t take it and my transit remains the same and I don’t stress anymore when going on a trip, my life has changed. I might take several month to take effect.
I suffer a lot from constipation, I'm sick and tired of drinking laxatives that all my doctor gives me, sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode, I'm definitely going to take your advice and try it, do you recommend any brand?
Hello children 😂 ❤ l had painful arthritis in the hands for about 4 years tried apple cider vinegar Organic I take 1 tablespoon in tall glass of water, can put a small amount of honey stir that in . I warm water a little bit drink , don’t forget to shake the bottle prior to get some of that mother goodness 😢 and a quick rinse of your mouth afterwards and follow that with a small amount of regular water. I no longer have any pains in hands. Love 💕 you both you make us laugh, and that’s good medicine!
Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and water stopped my chronic heartburn. I no longer had to take my RX acid reducer or tums, etc. This has been working for me over 3 years now.
I was on a steady diet of Tums for years, and it was only getting worse. Now I make up a mixture of 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a 1/4 teaspoon of white sea salt, and 16 ounces of water. I rarely get heartburn, but when I do, I take a sip or two of my concoction, and the heartburn is gone. It's interesting that a Reddit forum for GERD and heartburn sufferers literally bans the discussion of ACV. Discussion of the multitude of Big Pharma products is more than welcome.
Doctors with humor teaching people to focus on prevention is the best way to good health! Definitely sharing this video with family as people usually don’t listen to us Nurses 😢
I’m 81 and I got a 5th UTI in 2 months, D Mannose had been helping me but the 5th UTI was from not drinking enough water and holding urine too long. I was praying for the Lord to please heal me and I feel like He led me to a video on baking soda and ACV helping quickly. So I drank 1 tsp baking soda in a cup of water then 2 Tbsp ACV in water, symptoms greatly reduced in an hour and continued to reduce throughout the day. I drank 2 tsp ACV in water throughout the day to cleanse my body of the bacteria. The second day felt really good. Thank You Jesus for leading me to find out about this so I didn’t have to keep taking antibiotics.
I make a cocktail in the morning which I sip on all day off and on which contains: 2 teas ACV (Braggs), 1/4 cup Just Cranberry (Knudsen), some Trace Minerals (4- shakes) and hot water to make about a cup. It has helped my digestion, my arthritis and I've lost weight down to my proper weight. (I'm 82 BTW)
Thank you for this information. I'm 71 and have gained weight over the last 18 months from stress and coming off my hormone patches. I will give your recipe a try ✌🏾
Shame they don’t teach you all this in medical school… I find most doctors and nurses shockingly under educated and know nothing about nutrition and supplementation. Shocking and criminal
The best way to drink apple cider vinegar is in posca, an ancient Roman drink originally intended to use up sour wine. I warm up 12oz water and add 2 TBS Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar "With the Mother" and 2 TBS honey. Quite a nice drink. I don't have diabetes, thank my lucky stars!
Yes except: a) you’re killing “the mother” by high heat b) honey is sugar and so not a good idea to have that every day and not good for people trying to lose weight c) no one has time to heat and do all that… it’s not necessary… the best way to drink ACV is with filtered water , plus fresh lemon juice and cayenne pepper. You don’t need the honey !
@@lapislazuli7876Not all sugars are the same or affect the body the same way. Honey, for example, needs no refrigeration. Supposedly bad bacteria don't thrive in that type of sugar.
Good video. I use 2 tsp with 8 oz. of water and I use a straw to drink it. I also like pickle juice and I'll add 1 tsp to the juice. If you're new to this try 1 tsp to 8 oz. water and then build up to 2 tsp. I drink it at bedtime.
@@B-ch6uk #1 there is no mother in the caps + other Docs on YT say caps or gummies are a waste as too many filler/chems/sugars not effective. Dr. Berg says Fairchild which I've switched to from Braggs
I used it diluted with water every day for over a year, I also switched to a low carb diet along with exercise and restrictive eating and lost over 50 lbs. lowered my blood pressure to more normal levels, was able to reduce BP meds, I am almost 70 and now in better health than when I was in my 40's.
@@fmorraz Read my post above... Cut processed food Carbs and Sugar, Try to eat one or two meals a day in 6 to 8 hour "window" No snacking! Limit alcohol, No Sodas or juices. Walk every day after eating if possible. If you can do a little bit of Weight lifting if you are able that is helpful. Good luck.
@@shekataganiThanks for being considered and share specific key points. I still don't get why some nutrition "experts" say it's better quick and healthy snacks and don't have a long spam between meals, and others say as you. I guess it will depend on caloric demand.
Fairchild's Apple cider vinegar is an undiluted great tasting vinegar. Thank you Doctors. I didn't know that Doctors support the use of taking Apple cider vinegar.❤
I just saw a YT video from a grocer who said that Bragg ACV has been bought out by a big company and that they have diluted the product. The grocer got a lot of complaints from buyers about this.
You mentioned smells and how you grow to like them. I worked for a company that made hematology analyzers. We worked with blood controls all the time so 10% Clorox solution was used all the time. Now, I love that smell. For me it's the smell of clean! Have a great weekend.
I started taking it diluted about 3 months ago and it really helped quite a bit with heartburn. I was able to reduce my ppi meds in half. By adding acid in your stomach it helps keep the muscle closed so the acid doesn’t go into your esophagus.
I & 2 friends all suffered from bad acid reflux, until we cut back on carbs. Keto cured my problem completely (no meds or even indigestion oct pills for years now.) One friend just had to give up bananas to cure herself. The 3rd of us is keto with lapses, and has managed to cut back the ppi meds to once weekly.
3:24 I make my own dressing as well, can make many kinds based on Extra virgin olive oil. I like 1 to 1 with either apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar. fresh minced garlic, pepper, organic dash of Dijon mustard, spices of choice.
That's how I take my vinegar, but also use similar mixes to preserve slow roasted tomatoes in jars when they're cheap or there's a glut from my handful of plants.
It’s funny how you all say these same dressing recipes as if you’ve discovered something new! Those ingredients are centuries old classics most people already know about. Especially Mediterranean people. You Americans are only now just waking up to proper food after eating absolute rubbish for 500 years!
I have been taking a tablespoon of ACV in a 12 ounce glass of water, along with a teaspoon of fiber powder every morning for over a year. My A1C has dropped from pre diabetic(6.4) to normal (5.7). I had elevated A1C for years.
Great video. I was taking 60mg of Nexium daily for many years bd a few years ago my wife convinced me to take 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with a glass of water every morning and it worked great, to the point that I no longer need to take Nexium regularly. I am also diabetic and will try to take some Apple Cider vinegar before lunch no dinner to see if it will reduce my A1C, even if just a bit. Keep your awesome educational videos coming!
I was impressed how much it lowered my BP. My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told him. He said if it is working for you continue. I use the little measuring cup that comes with the NyQuil bottle
I saw video that suggested the benefits of apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I mix this in 8 ozs of water and drink. Feeling much better. So Grateful for all good advice given by doctors, Thank You for the extra You do to help us all 🙏♥️
Interesting and clarifying. I went on a meat and dairy free diet to lower my A1C. Lots of veggies, whole grains and some fish. I drank a concoction of cinnamon, honey, ginger and ACV mixed with water every morning. In 3-4 mos, I lost about 12-15 lbs and have never felt better in my life.
Did you really lower your A1c ingesting honey, whole grains, and what I assume would include starchy veggies? I've seen plenty of people go the keto route to lower A1c, and I know that works, but I'd love to hear how much lower your A1c went and how long you did it.
They didn't. They're lying through thier teeth. Plants are designed to kill you. People need to wake up to this. Carnivore diet is the optimal diet for human health and prosperity.
I'm disinclined to add things like this to my diet without evidence of benefit. I have used vinegar(s) in foods, but am very cognizant of the damage that acidic foods/beverages can do to enamel. For me, there is always a benefit/risk ratio. Thankfully, I'm in excellent health due to a lifestyle/diet (plant-based) revamp 15 years ago. I truly value your videos and appreciate the fact that you consult with experts outside of your specialty. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to create these interesting, educational, and entertaining videos!
Fantastic. I will switch to ACV in salad dressings instead of white/red wine vinegar or lemon juice, It's a small change so can't hurt, plus I make my own ACV. It took me a while to produce a solid Mother, now I share it. I am currently insulin-resistant and my doctor has me Intermittent fasting in addition to my walks and strength training.
I’ve been using ACV for around 5 years here’s my results. My wife and I own a duplex which we rent to my sister and her family of three mine of 4. Before Covid we went through the usual cold season, everyone in the house had the cold and flu multiple times, me zero no symptoms at all. I thought I was coming down with it but it was gone in no less than 10 hours. After work outs in which I pushed hard that day very little soreness with lactic acid build up. Didn’t notice the weight loss claim. But when you first start, this is weird but ear wax loosening a lot of ear wax cleaning maybe because of the clensing affect also more number 2 movements. This does work just follow the directions on the bottle
Thank you Docs! I take a tablespoon spoon in the mornings with some Pomegranate juice and chia seeds daily. Thanks so much for your videos. I love dill pickles and pickle juice. 😊
I'm a 58 yr. old male 5ft10in 200lbs my blood glucose in the 90's but a good a1c at 4.9. However, I was having blurry vision in the morning along with very dry mouth. I know these are blood sugar related issues so I'm on a mission to eat better and get down to 180lbs. A friend suggested I try ACV and I decided it couldn't hurt. I started off with 2 tbsp. in an 8oz glass of water before bed. Well, the very first morning I didn't have a dry mouth nor blurry vision so this definitely works. My doc is pretty good he suggested my blood sugar is simply not coming back down fast enough. He tracked my yearly blood work and said when I went from 190lbs-200lbs I must've went over my threshold thus causing my blood sugar to go up and stay up too long. He said my body's too heavy, liver almost certainly too fat, pancreas almost certainly too fat the acv must somehow interact with the fat in the liver/pancreas to bring my blood sugar down. He said it's very important I eat less food/healthier food and basically ordered me to lose at least 15-20lbs the acv is great but just a stop gap.
Agree with your doc. ACV helps but is not a long term solution. Eat whole foods. Avoid added sugar. Avoid highly processed foods. Daily exercise. Reduce stress. Good sleep. Best of luck!
I'm with the doc that doesn't buy bottled store bought salad dressings or marinades. Those are some of the easiest things to put together, just a few ingredients that we usually have around, and OH MY GOSH, soooo much tastier imo.
@@nancynguyen8643 I use a basic ratio for making dressing. 1 part water, 1 part vinegar, 1 part healthy oil. I flavor the water by soaking organic or unsprayed fruit in it, such as dried cherries or citrus zest (minus the white pith) and juice, and other fruits with a little sugar and honey. The oils I use are ev olive, sweet almond, avocado and grapeseed oil for variety. When combining the ingredients, you may add a pinch of salt, honey, ginger, cinnamon, alspice, cardamom, black or pepper medley, garlic, cajun spice or whatever suits the occasion. I always add some of the fruit or zest to the mixture for beauty and texture. The combination of these ingredients is healthy and very flavorful and will keep remarkably well in your fridge. My neighbor beggs me to market the ginger-tangerine dressing I make. ;) Hint: use the sugar and honey to macerate the zest or fruit. Add a little tap hot water to make a "tea" and an let set 10 - 20 minutes. The sugar/honey is used to to change the osmotic pressure helping draw out the terpenes and flavonoids making them more available to your tastebuds.
I have been using ACV for 1.5 years 1-2 tablespoons, 1 Tbp in the morning when I wake, 1 Tbp in the afternoon. I started doing this for my GERD and to stop taking Lansoprazole. GERD is gone and a side benefit is I have lost weight. I would highly recommend it for either.
Same. I started initially taking ACV to deal with GERD and get off of Omeprazole. Works like a charm and it seems to have other benefits for my blood work. GERD is effectively gone (unless I eat a very large dinner) and I feel better overall.
@@antonysychov107 I stopped taking meds the first day on ACV. Only had occasional acid reflux and took Tums for that, usually after having too big of a dinner. Slight burning sensation hung around for months, but I think due to my eating habits at night. Don't have that problem at this time. Just glad to be off the medication.
Thank you. I consume around 77-80 ounces of water daily. My first 32 ounces are just plain spring water. I also drink lemon and ginger water throughout the day.
I've been taking ACV with warm water for acid reflux and it's works better then any meds I've ever used, it took me many years to even try it, because I thought it was crazy to use something so sour to help when my tummy and up to my mouth felt so sour already.
I really enjoy listening to both of you. Not only the wisdom you share but the rapport between the two of you makes your videos fun to watch. Thank you so much!
I mix it with diet cranberry juice. I mix one table spoon before each meal with the cranberry juice. this and eating a low carb diet helps to lower my A1C. (I am a type 2 diabetic)
i have divercuilitis and recently started diluted apple cider vinegar (1 tsp). My stomach hurts less. I have dropped a couple lbs (literally) and i do feel like some toxins are being removed . I don't believe it will have instant results but the vinegar seems to aid my digestion.
I took vinegar for about a year. I took about 1 tablespoon with lots of water in the evening. I think it helped keep my blood sugar in the normal range. I check my blood glucose every morning using a blood glucose monitor. But i stopped taking vinegar about 2 months ago, I was more worried about doing damage to my teeth.
2yrs ago, did my complete blood work, my blood glucose was borderline. 3days ago i did a glucose test after drinking ACV for 10 months now, it was almost below the bottom 😮 Now the doc said i can't do IF, been fasting for 2.5yrs, and need to eat. My bmi is 23, 61yrs old.
I use ACV when i make my own salad dressings..... I use a very simple dressing. 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, smashed. (The dijon is optional)
I came off Protizole 40mg after 10 years after reading about Apple cider vinegar and following a protocol of 4 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water x 2 times a day. Morn & Eve. It takes about 2 weeks to kick in but its worth it being off medication for Acid reflux.
I didn't know what the mother meant for the vinegar. thx for explaining that. i have a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar on my salad most nights. glad to know it's healthy and why. tastes very good. seems like most sour tangy things are healthy..? fermented.
I live in the USA. I think I'd been prediabetic or hypoglycemic since my teens. When I was having a minor surgery, the RN told me my blood sugars were elevated and to get it checked. At any of my doctors' check-ups my A1C or any other blood test was never ordered because nobody in my family was diabetic so therefore, I couldn't be. At age 30 I weighed 310 lbs. and was tested, resulting with a high A1C. Eight years ago I had gastric bypass surgery and now weigh 126 lbs. My A1C fluctuates so about 5 years ago my husband read about a new study stating, taking 2 TBL apple cider vinegar every day helped to lower A1C. We didn't know any better, so we didn't mix it with anything to buffer the acid. My husband tried it first and loved the taste, he loves vinegar. I tried it and it felt like a volcano erupted in my stomach and esophagus. I was sick for hours. Needless to say, I haven't tried it since. After this video I guess I can use the apple cider vinegar, with MOTHER of course, into a salad dressing and hope for the best. Thank you for your research and honest opinion. cheers
Doctors will tell you to never ever drink ACV straight. You need to mix it with water or mix it in your food. It's very dangerous to your body drinking it straight. Try mixing 1 to 2 tablespoons of ACV with the mother in 8 oz glass of water with a little honey or stevia....it will taste so must better to you.
How many pounds was your husband when he started taking it, how many pounds is he now. I used to take it straight also, until I started seeing videos suggesting to dilute, so now I use a shot glass w/ a lil water & ACV! I’m 125lbs don’t need to lose weight so I don’t take it the way I want to
i have major allergies and this past week the allergies came back with a vengence. the corner of my eyes were beginning to hurt like never before and i knew i was in for a long run of allergies and pain. i was sitting there thinking and for what ever reason it dawned on me to use ACV on the inner corners of my eyes. now believe me when i say this, the corner pain of my eyes was beyond belief this time around for some reason. i put some ACV on a Q-tip and dab it on the inside corners of my eyes in the morning and again in afternoon. i will admit the pain was somewhat painful but after a few blinks and squeezing of my eye lids the pain subsided after about 30 seconds. my afternoon venture into ACV on my corners was a little better as the morning dip did its job, i am in the early morning hours now and the pain in the corner of my eyes is GONE. all the remains is the soreness of what i did when i was rubbing my eyes. NO MORE PAIN and my allergies seems to have disappeared, so far, cept for my stuffy nose ... ACV seems to be a cure all for many things. Edit after i posted this, cucumber juice i found out years ago does the same thing ... cept with that i just squeezed the juice on my eye .. i never used it that much as cucumbers are harder to keep than a bottle of ACV.
There are reports of people getting serious skin burns from applying it topically. I’d be very concerned about using it on your skin and especially near your eye! ❤
@@paddleduck5328 i should of explained, i water down the q-tip and dab ACV on the tip its not as burny if i were, an i did use full dose, to use just aCV
It is Amazing my blood sugar reduces a 100 points I get 250 number when I eat unhealthy like white starch or rice potatoes but believe me when I take one tablespoon mixed in 5 ounces of water right before my unhealthy meal my blood sugar is like 160 and I notice that I am loosing my weight from my tummy which start accumulating after my ovaries were removed so I believe it has a lots of benefits
Your story is very encouraging to me and probably many more !!! I'm excited to see some great results from starting my journey with ACV. Thanks for sharing your story. May you continue to have positive results with your health 🌹
I’ve been taking Bragg Apple cider vinegar for years it’s got mother in it. 1 T with 10oz water. I like the taste but then I like Cod and Castor oil. Your videos are so informative as didn’t know it could help with diabetics . I’m not and maybe taking ACV is helping me stay pre-diabetic. I started taking it because someone said it would help me lose weight it didn’t , but it did make me feel better so I kept taking it.
Dr. Zalzal. It was a great pleasure to meet you yesterday ( 7 c pod 300 ) and thank you and Dr Weening for the great work you do with these videos. It made my day.
Nice video, thanks! I have periods where I take it as a drink: 1 table spoon in 750 ml cold water- I find it really tasty once you get used to it e.g. a few weeks after starting. Its refreshing and looks like a nice drink... while others may be drinking sodas you got that one :) Also love it in kind of vegan cesar's dressings And, to be cloudy, you have to take the row apple cider vinegar. Also taste is much nicer...
Great video! I take 1tblp of Braggs in a glass of of warm water when I have intestinal problems. Works like a charm. If I were to take it on a more regular basis, how frequent?
I add a teaspoon to a bottle of carbonated water that I make myself and drink that over the course of a few hours - it is slightly sour but you get used to it
I’ve been taking acv for 2 years now, I also put some in my dog & cats water as well Every morning. I’ve lost 20 lbs & my blood sugar has improved. Thank You docs for your helpful videos 😊.
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Y’all are terrific thank you for the informative videos. Yes I also do the “mother” vinegar everyday - I put a large splash in OJ every morning and agree it has a bite! I do believe in the positive benefits which is why I keep taking it. By accident my wife bought White House Apple Cider Vinegar with Honey so now I feel like I am also getting the benefit of honey with the vinegar and it does not have the bite that straight AC vinegar has. Maybe a video on honey and its healing properties docs? Thank you again!
Bragg is probably the best you'll find in the grocery store. Used to be sold only in health food stores now its everywhere. Good product been around for decades
No !!!!! braggs is diluted rubbish that is now owned by “pop star” Katy Perry. Don’t touch that watery rubbish. Buy fairchilds or find a better brand. Braggs is also overpriced.
My PCP said skip ACV because it's too acidic for me with my GERD. Diet and exercise is a better way to lower my A1C (5.9 last test) and Glucose (110 on average). Meanwhile, there's lots of TV commercials for GOLO pills, which of course means "anything sold on TV is probably a scam or junk". Thanks for an enjoyable video Doctors.
Type I since age 8. I am on an insulin pump with CGM, so I can actually see how this affects my BSL. I tried store brand white vinegar first (1TB with 16oz water), tasted as good as you'd expect! The next time I tried Braggs ACV (same mixture), not any better tasting but...the sugar spike I would normally see on the CGM was much less with both vinegars. Given the added benefit of the pro/prebiotics I now use ACV as a way to lessen my spikes if/when I eat something high in carbs. Not daily, but definitely a weekly occurance!
I learned from some video a way to get your two tablespoons of ACV a day. Take 2 water bottles, add juice from lemon in each bottle, one tablespoon ACV in each water bottle. Add a few drops of stevia in each water bottle and shake. This makes it taste more like lemonade, and the lemon aids the hydration. Drink before meals. I do believe it may suppress appetite and though my diet is basically carb-less, it helps stabilize blood sugar.
I used to use Bragg's but changed to Whitehouse because I noticed they have started diluting their product. if you observe, it is not as cloudy as before. In the below video, Dr. Berg mentions he used to use Bragg's as well but switched to Fairchild for the same reason. Take 2 TABLESPOONS before Bed for Perfect Blood Sugars ua-cam.com/video/Nay62P7jb8w/v-deo.html
Fantastic video Doc. Can I leave the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar out while I use it or should I keep it in the fridge once open? What is the shelf life of it if I keep in outside while in use when its possible to do so?
It's all up to you. I think it is hokey. I use a fair amount of other vinegars in cooking, but not this one. I'm going to ask a friend who has high A1C if they use this. My suspicion is that a healthy diet is paramount.
So yes healthy diet is very important. But sometimes diabetes can be hard to control. This wasn't our opinion. This is a summary of the available research and it shows benefit.
I totally agree. I am not at all over-weight and keep to a keto diet of only 10 net carbs daily, but still my A1c & fasting bg are not as low as I would like. I thought I knew all about ACV, as I have been taking it regularly for years, but I have just got some new inspiration from this vid. I used to take very expensive high quality vinegar with the mother, but then someone gave me a whole lot without. Now I am going to down-grade that for cleaning and go back to the better sort for ME. Also, I am going to up my dose from once to twice daily. Wish me luck!@@TalkingWithDocs
My mentor swears that ACV is responsible for her overall good health and she has been taking it every morning (with water) for years. I have tried several times in my life to do this and I find ACV disgusting, even diluted, and it made me feel nauseous first thing in the morning. I have used it in my own vinaigrette, but still, I'd rather use balsamic. Since I'm not diabetic, I'm happy to hear that I don't have to take it because I hate it. Thanks, Docs!
I mix Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemon, Garlic, and Honey, let it sit in the refrigerator for three days. After three days I do a shot every other day on an empty stomach. My skin looks great and I have a flat tummy.😉❤
I used Braggs ACV when I had a really bad fruit fly problem, worked better than any fly spray or sticky papers. 😅 Just pour enough to cover the bottom of a small dish or bowl, cover with clingfilm, then punch some thumb size holes around the edge and leave it in the affected room for a few days.
Interesting my Avian Veterinarian has me mix 75 ml if apple cider vinegar to 1 gallon of water and provide that as the water source to my parrots. The apple cider vinegar reduces infections in the parrot’s crop. I have been using it for my birds for years. Organic with Mother.
On my keto diet with fasting, I recently found myself on a plateau. I started taking 30ml ACV (diluted) 3x per day and found that weight loss continued. I'm now a believer.
When dieting before eating anything when I first wake up I drink a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother, mixed in 2 cups of warm water, with a teaspoon of honey and tablespoon of lemon juice.
I hear many comments here about GERD. I would like very much to know more. Perhaps discussions of the research in Dr Aviv’s book The Acid Watcher Diet. My patients (I’m a Speech Pathologist, Specializing in Adult Dysphagia) often ask me questions, and are on PPI meds much longer than recommended, which puts them at risk for serious side effects and it seems that there is controversy. Maybe have a Gastroenterologist on. That would be cool. Really enjoying your videos! Happiest healthcare workers I’ve seen in a long time!! 🤓
Many people have low stomach acid instead of high stomach acid. So being prescribed ppi..etcetera, can cause serious issues by reducing stomach acid even more. First learned this from Dr. Berg.
During the winter, or when I’m feeling under par, I whip up the following witch’s brew: 1-1/2 cups hot water, 1 tbsp mother apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, pinch of cinnamon. It tastes dreadful, but it really seems to work.
Add zero calorie Now BetterStevia as substitute for honey for a marvelous drink. You may also add honey for that medicinal value but do not use boiling hot water for honey to prevent destruction of honey’s medicinal value. For the adventurous, add cayenne pepper and/or red pepper flakes.
My mother always bought Heinz Apple Cider vinegar and one day I saw some stuff on the bottom of the bottle and asked my mom what it was. She told me it was "mother" and it formed if the vinegar was a little bit older from sitting on the shelf. What do you think?😊
Really like your videos! Request: When you refer to diabetes, please clarify if you mean Type 1 or Type 2! FYI, to folks out there, T1D: pancreas is not producing insulin, so insulin MUST be taken constantly, for that person to stay alive. T2D: insulin resistance: pancreas produces insulin but cells lock out insulin. Different diseases!
Yes, indeed, but these days more and more people suffer from "double diabetes", (insulin insufficiency plus insulin resistance) which must make their lives even more difficult.
Could you do a video on extra virgin olive oil (the good stuff with the certification seal)? I think Auburn was supposed to do a clinical with it that would involve dementia and small vessel. Unfortunately, covid hit and I could no longer find any information about the clinical. I'm interested in your opinion on EVOO and vascular plaque along with other benefits.
Dear Docs I'm trying to reduce prescription Omeprazole 40 mg 2x per day for 11 years.. So I'm trying to reduce and then elimate it completely. I was put on it for Barrett's Esophagitis Which was cleared but now I'm having many of the side effects listed. I've been trying 2 tablespoons ACV with the mother in cup of water and was shocked it stopped the Gerd for that time. What are your thoughts? Thanks Patricia
That's 10:42 two much. Be sure to take B12 while on this. I started probotics and it helped me. I take 20mg of pepcid daily. These meds for acid reflux have all kinds of side effects. Research them because there are other things for acid reflux. I take the ACV capsules. The organic ones.
I do ACV 3x a day. In a cup of water, 1 tablespoon, I use a straw. I do this 30 minutes before eating...curbs my appetite...no longer crave sweets, have lost 80 pounds and kept it off for going on 3 years. I also do intermittentfasting, 16/8. I am 73, I am feeling better than ever. No prescriptions....it works for me 😊
i will start to do this also - i'm hearing 3x daily is ideal. well done on the weight loss! i'm 60 pounds down with 16/8 fasting and nutritious home eating
I tried as well, I am losing weight. Very good one. Thanks Doc
Some of it is a placebo effect. And since you have two variables, apple cider vinegar ingestion plus intermittent fasting you can't say which one is helping with your weight.
Anecdotal BS.
@@timthompson8297such a helpful comment…who pissed in your Wheaties today?
The fact that we get free videos on UA-cam by Talking with Docs is truly a gift ... Keeping education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏
Wow thanks. Doing our best
thanks! look forward to your vid on the awful DVT!
It is a blessing. It is a luxury our fathers and mothers never had.
you take statin that is why you have foggy mind@@TalkingWithDocs
That is so true! Thanks so much Docs for all the research you both do and bringing all the other people on to help us learn and keeping us informed! Bless you both! 🥰🥰🥰
If you do drink apple cider vinegar, rinse your mouth with fresh water right after ingesting to protect your teeth...Good video Docs!
Yes or use a straw
Ya know that's why I stopped because my teeth are sensitive.
Ya just don't drink it straight ,,, you dilute it and it has to be the mother for health benefits,,, not the vinegar you put on fish and chips
8 oz filtered water, warm for approx minute in micro, add tablespoon or two of acv and a squirt of real lemon juice and a natural sweetener if needed
Vinegar with the mother
I have lost weight and lowered my BP since taking Apple Cider Vinegar. I went from 265lbs to 235lbs in 6 months. Also cut out a lot of pastas and breads. I try not to eat anything with more than 6 or 7 grams of sugar per serving. My BP was 149 /101 and dropped to 128/83 I look and feel so much better. I was putting 30ml of ACV to my bottle of water and my favorite flavored drink mix. I did it once before bed and then again as soon as I woke up in the morning. I love ACV. Went from a size 44 to 38 pants size
Thanks for sharing. And congrats that's amazing!
You're definitely doing something wrong. I lost 100 lb in 6 months... with no apple cider😂
I have had kidney stones 3x now, and here are some tips and tricks I learned along the way. A heating pad applied to the painful area does wonders. I now prepare a gallon jug of water and I add like 5 table spoons of apple cider vinegar, | drink a few glasses a day. At first ! did not like it, but over time I am now craving it daily. I truly believe it threnses my thirst better than any other drink, even plain water.
Anyways, I have never had a kidney stone after I started drinking this. It has been like 5 years. Look up apple cider vinegar benefits, you'll be amazed at all the benefits. Hope it helps somebody dealing with these nasties.
Tx for the wonderful highlights of ACV ,I'll definitely use a straw to drink it 🎉❤
Is it ok taking 5 tablespoons of vinegar daily ?
I’ve been taking cider apple vinegar for many years to reduce pain of osteoarthritis & it works well for me. 1 tablespoon in a glass of water 1 or 2 times per day, needed a knee replacement over 10 years ago, never had it done as pain reduced.
That's great stuff.
Excellent.
👌
I don't really care about vinegar but I'm totally addicted to these videos!
That is so awesome to hear! Thanks
irregularly transit and constipation was my life for 40 years, then I started apple vinegar and now I already had 10 years of perfect transit and living "normally". 🤗
How do you take it?
One soup spoon of vinegar in half a glass of water, rince with half a glass of water, every morning after breakfast. (You won’t like the taste) When on vacation for a week I don’t take it and my transit remains the same and I don’t stress anymore when going on a trip, my life has changed. I might take several month to take effect.
Thank you very much for your answer! I'll give it a try. I don't mind the flavour if it helps 🙏
How much and how often are you taking it?
I suffer a lot from constipation, I'm sick and tired of drinking laxatives that all my doctor gives me, sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode, I'm definitely going to take your advice and try it, do you recommend any brand?
No one cleans with apple cider vinegar, it has sediments. White vinegar is what we use and then only to remove hard water scale.
Yes white vinegar has many uses for sure
In France, many people ONLY use white vinegar as a cleaning agent.
Hello children 😂 ❤ l had painful arthritis in the hands for about 4 years tried apple cider vinegar Organic I take 1 tablespoon in tall glass of water, can put a small amount of honey stir that in . I warm water a little bit drink , don’t forget to shake the bottle prior to get some of that mother goodness 😢 and a quick rinse of your mouth afterwards and follow that with a small amount of regular water. I no longer have any pains in hands. Love 💕 you both you make us laugh, and that’s good medicine!
Me too no more pain in my hands. Since I take ACV.
I take apple cider and it does nothing for my pain
Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and water stopped my chronic heartburn. I no longer had to take my RX acid reducer or tums, etc. This has been working for me over 3 years now.
It's so ironic but we have heard this from other viewers
I was on a steady diet of Tums for years, and it was only getting worse. Now I make up a mixture of 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a 1/4 teaspoon of white sea salt, and 16 ounces of water. I rarely get heartburn, but when I do, I take a sip or two of my concoction, and the heartburn is gone.
It's interesting that a Reddit forum for GERD and heartburn sufferers literally bans the discussion of ACV. Discussion of the multitude of Big Pharma products is more than welcome.
Fairchilds isn’t diluted I hear from dr berg. Who knows it’s UA-cam so…
I'm glad to hear this. I was wanting to start Fo r blood pressure and weight but afraid because of acid reflex
Stay away from Braggs. Every since there were bought out, they are diluting their solution. Buy Fairchilds!
Doctors with humor teaching people to focus on prevention is the best way to good health! Definitely sharing this video with family as people usually don’t listen to us Nurses 😢
I’m 81 and I got a 5th UTI in 2 months, D Mannose had been helping me but the 5th UTI was from not drinking enough water and holding urine too long. I was praying for the Lord to please heal me and I feel like He led me to a video on baking soda and ACV helping quickly. So I drank 1 tsp baking soda in a cup of water then 2 Tbsp ACV in water, symptoms greatly reduced in an hour and continued to reduce throughout the day. I drank 2 tsp ACV in water throughout the day to cleanse my body of the bacteria. The second day felt really good. Thank You Jesus for leading me to find out about this so I didn’t have to keep taking antibiotics.
I make a cocktail in the morning which I sip on all day off and on which contains: 2 teas ACV (Braggs), 1/4 cup Just Cranberry (Knudsen), some Trace Minerals (4- shakes) and hot water to make about a cup. It has helped my digestion, my arthritis and I've lost weight down to my proper weight. (I'm 82 BTW)
Thank you for this information. I'm 71 and have gained weight over the last 18 months from stress and coming off my hormone patches. I will give your recipe a try ✌🏾
You might want to research maybe adding a drop of iodide. In some areas, people are low.
As an RN student, I am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for creating them.
Shame they don’t teach you all this in medical school… I find most doctors and nurses shockingly under educated and know nothing about nutrition and supplementation. Shocking and criminal
The best way to drink apple cider vinegar is in posca, an ancient Roman drink originally intended to use up sour wine. I warm up 12oz water and add 2 TBS Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar "With the Mother" and 2 TBS honey. Quite a nice drink. I don't have diabetes, thank my lucky stars!
Yes except: a) you’re killing “the mother” by high heat b) honey is sugar and so not a good idea to have that every day and not good for people trying to lose weight c) no one has time to heat and do all that… it’s not necessary… the best way to drink ACV is with filtered water , plus fresh lemon juice and cayenne pepper. You don’t need the honey !
@@lapislazuli7876Not all sugars are the same or affect the body the same way. Honey, for example, needs no refrigeration. Supposedly bad bacteria don't thrive in that type of sugar.
Good video. I use 2 tsp with 8 oz. of water and I use a straw to drink it. I also like pickle juice and I'll add 1 tsp to the juice. If you're new to this try 1 tsp to 8 oz. water and then build up to 2 tsp. I drink it at bedtime.
Why not just take a capsule?
I don't know ow if capsule is the same strength
@@B-ch6uk I doubt that capsules have the same strength. They're also more expensive.
Be careful not to brush your teeth within 1 hour or more of drinking acv, as you may brush off your enamel.
@@B-ch6uk #1 there is no mother in the caps + other Docs on YT say caps or gummies are a waste as too many filler/chems/sugars not effective. Dr. Berg says Fairchild which I've switched to from Braggs
These guys are not only informative, but also fun and funny. They joke with and tease each other playfully, which makes them entertaining as well.
Nice to hear cardio MDs taking Apple vinegar with the mother load for health and not a regular personal! Enjoy your videos, keep it up guys!
1 teaspoons with 8 ounces of water used straw to drink 1-2 time a day 30 minute before meal 😊
Nice. It has been thought to increase satiety
I used it diluted with water every day for over a year, I also switched to a low carb diet along with exercise and restrictive eating and lost over 50 lbs. lowered my blood pressure to more normal levels, was able to reduce BP meds, I am almost 70 and now in better health than when I was in my 40's.
I need to lose 40 pounds, so I am considering some serious changes. How did you do it?
@@fmorraz Read my post above... Cut processed food Carbs and Sugar, Try to eat one or two meals a day in 6 to 8 hour "window" No snacking! Limit alcohol, No Sodas or juices. Walk every day after eating if possible. If you can do a little bit of Weight lifting if you are able that is helpful. Good luck.
@@shekataganiThanks for being considered and share specific key points. I still don't get why some nutrition "experts" say it's better quick and healthy snacks and don't have a long spam between meals, and others say as you. I guess it will depend on caloric demand.
You two are the best thing on UA-cam. Thanks for continuing to post.
Fairchild's Apple cider vinegar is an undiluted great tasting vinegar. Thank you Doctors. I didn't know that Doctors support the use of taking Apple cider vinegar.❤
I just saw a YT video from a grocer who said that Bragg ACV has been bought out by a big company and that they have diluted the product. The grocer got a lot of complaints from buyers about this.
Buy Fairchild - it's undiluted acv👍👌🏻
You mentioned smells and how you grow to like them. I worked for a company that made hematology analyzers. We worked with blood controls all the time so 10% Clorox solution was used all the time. Now, I love that smell. For me it's the smell of clean! Have a great weekend.
Awesome
I've loved the smell of Clorox since i was a kid😅
Same thing= clean😊
@@lyndaseymourlyndaseymour7513my wife too. Just don’t drink it! 😂
I started taking it diluted about 3 months ago and it really helped quite a bit with heartburn. I was able to reduce my ppi meds in half. By adding acid in your stomach it helps keep the muscle closed so the acid doesn’t go into your esophagus.
I & 2 friends all suffered from bad acid reflux, until we cut back on carbs. Keto cured my problem completely (no meds or even indigestion oct pills for years now.) One friend just had to give up bananas to cure herself. The 3rd of us is keto with lapses, and has managed to cut back the ppi meds to once weekly.
3:24 I make my own dressing as well, can make many kinds based on Extra virgin olive oil. I like 1 to 1 with either apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar. fresh minced garlic, pepper, organic dash of Dijon mustard, spices of choice.
That's how I take my vinegar, but also use similar mixes to preserve slow roasted tomatoes in jars when they're cheap or there's a glut from my handful of plants.
It’s funny how you all say these same dressing recipes as if you’ve discovered something new! Those ingredients are centuries old classics most people already know about. Especially Mediterranean people. You Americans are only now just waking up to proper food after eating absolute rubbish for 500 years!
I have been taking a tablespoon of ACV in a 12 ounce glass of water, along with a teaspoon of fiber powder every morning for over a year. My A1C has dropped from pre diabetic(6.4) to normal (5.7). I had elevated A1C for years.
That is awesome Robert!
Fibre powder???help?
@@cor-z8m The fibre powder might be Ispaghula Husk or psyllium husk powder. ( Metamucil ) ( Fybogel ).
Great video. I was taking 60mg of Nexium daily for many years bd a few years ago my wife convinced me to take 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with a glass of water every morning and it worked great, to the point that I no longer need to take Nexium regularly. I am also diabetic and will try to take some Apple Cider vinegar before lunch no dinner to see if it will reduce my A1C, even if just a bit. Keep your awesome educational videos coming!
Perhaps after all this time you actually didn't need the nexium anymore
Actually I do, otherwise I get acid reflux
I was impressed how much it lowered my BP. My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told him. He said if it is working for you continue. I use the little measuring cup that comes with the NyQuil bottle
Perfect
I saw video that suggested the benefits of apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I mix this in 8 ozs of water and drink. Feeling much better. So Grateful for all good advice given by doctors, Thank You for the extra You do to help us all 🙏♥️
I put the ACV and olive oil on my salads. Tastes good.
Interesting and clarifying. I went on a meat and dairy free diet to lower my A1C. Lots of veggies, whole grains and some fish. I drank a concoction of cinnamon, honey, ginger and ACV mixed with water every morning. In 3-4 mos, I lost about 12-15 lbs and have never felt better in my life.
How much water do you use in your concoction?
I currently take ACV pills, but I would like to drink it more.
Did you really lower your A1c ingesting honey, whole grains, and what I assume would include starchy veggies? I've seen plenty of people go the keto route to lower A1c, and I know that works, but I'd love to hear how much lower your A1c went and how long you did it.
They didn't. They're lying through thier teeth. Plants are designed to kill you. People need to wake up to this. Carnivore diet is the optimal diet for human health and prosperity.
Does it taste good or do you have to acquire it? What is the formula, pls.? Tyvm!
I agree with Paul.
I absolutely hate the smell of vinegar.
😂
I'm disinclined to add things like this to my diet without evidence of benefit. I have used vinegar(s) in foods, but am very cognizant of the damage that acidic foods/beverages can do to enamel. For me, there is always a benefit/risk ratio. Thankfully, I'm in excellent health due to a lifestyle/diet (plant-based) revamp 15 years ago. I truly value your videos and appreciate the fact that you consult with experts outside of your specialty. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to create these interesting, educational, and entertaining videos!

Fantastic. I will switch to ACV in salad dressings instead of white/red wine vinegar or lemon juice, It's a small change so can't hurt, plus I make my own ACV. It took me a while to produce a solid Mother, now I share it. I am currently insulin-resistant and my doctor has me Intermittent fasting in addition to my walks and strength training.
I’ve been using ACV for around 5 years here’s my results. My wife and I own a duplex which we rent to my sister and her family of three mine of 4. Before Covid we went through the usual cold season, everyone in the house had the cold and flu multiple times, me zero no symptoms at all. I thought I was coming down with it but it was gone in no less than 10 hours. After work outs in which I pushed hard that day very little soreness with lactic acid build up. Didn’t notice the weight loss claim. But when you first start, this is weird but ear wax loosening a lot of ear wax cleaning maybe because of the clensing affect also more number 2 movements. This does work just follow the directions on the bottle
Thank you Docs! I take a tablespoon spoon in the mornings with some Pomegranate juice and chia seeds daily. Thanks so much for your videos. I love dill pickles and pickle juice. 😊
Wonderful!
I'm a 58 yr. old male 5ft10in 200lbs my blood glucose in the 90's but a good a1c at 4.9. However, I was having blurry vision in the morning along with very dry mouth. I know these are blood sugar related issues so I'm on a mission to eat better and get down to 180lbs. A friend suggested I try ACV and I decided it couldn't hurt. I started off with 2 tbsp. in an 8oz glass of water before bed. Well, the very first morning I didn't have a dry mouth nor blurry vision so this definitely works.
My doc is pretty good he suggested my blood sugar is simply not coming back down fast enough. He tracked my yearly blood work and said when I went from 190lbs-200lbs I must've went over my threshold thus causing my blood sugar to go up and stay up too long. He said my body's too heavy, liver almost certainly too fat, pancreas almost certainly too fat the acv must somehow interact with the fat in the liver/pancreas to bring my blood sugar down. He said it's very important I eat less food/healthier food and basically ordered me to lose at least 15-20lbs the acv is great but just a stop gap.
Agree with your doc. ACV helps but is not a long term solution. Eat whole foods. Avoid added sugar. Avoid highly processed foods. Daily exercise. Reduce stress. Good sleep. Best of luck!
I'm with the doc that doesn't buy bottled store bought salad dressings or marinades. Those are some of the easiest things to put together, just a few ingredients that we usually have around, and OH MY GOSH, soooo much tastier imo.
Yay! And cheaper. And healthier.
No hidden sugars 😊
I did agree that made your own salad dressing is healthier, do uou have salad dressing recipe for OA arthritis?. Thank you @TalkingWithDocs
@@nancynguyen8643 I use a basic ratio for making dressing. 1 part water, 1 part vinegar, 1 part healthy oil.
I flavor the water by soaking organic or unsprayed fruit in it, such as dried cherries or citrus zest (minus the white pith) and juice, and other fruits with a little sugar and honey.
The oils I use are ev olive, sweet almond, avocado and grapeseed oil for variety.
When combining the ingredients, you may add a pinch of salt, honey, ginger, cinnamon, alspice, cardamom, black or pepper medley, garlic, cajun spice or whatever suits the occasion. I always add some of the fruit or zest to the mixture for beauty and texture. The combination of these ingredients is healthy and very flavorful and will keep remarkably well in your fridge. My neighbor beggs me to market the ginger-tangerine dressing I make. ;)
Hint: use the sugar and honey to macerate the zest or fruit. Add a little tap hot water to make a "tea" and an let set 10 - 20 minutes. The sugar/honey is used to to change the osmotic pressure helping draw out the terpenes and flavonoids making them more available to your tastebuds.
I have been using ACV for 1.5 years 1-2 tablespoons, 1 Tbp in the morning when I wake, 1 Tbp in the afternoon. I started doing this for my GERD and to stop taking Lansoprazole. GERD is gone and a side benefit is I have lost weight. I would highly recommend it for either.
Hi, could you please tell in what time did you get GERD symptoms gone ?
Same. I started initially taking ACV to deal with GERD and get off of Omeprazole. Works like a charm and it seems to have other benefits for my blood work. GERD is effectively gone (unless I eat a very large dinner) and I feel better overall.
@@antonysychov107 I stopped taking meds the first day on ACV. Only had occasional acid reflux and took Tums for that, usually after having too big of a dinner. Slight burning sensation hung around for months, but I think due to my eating habits at night. Don't have that problem at this time. Just glad to be off the medication.
Absolutely love your videos guys, packed full of interesting information with a sprinkle of humour on top ! Thank you 💚
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you. I consume around 77-80 ounces of water daily. My first 32 ounces are just plain spring water. I also drink lemon and ginger water throughout the day.
I've been taking ACV with warm water for acid reflux and it's works better then any meds I've ever used, it took me many years to even try it, because I thought it was crazy to use something so sour to help when my tummy and up to my mouth felt so sour already.
Thanks for sharing
Counterintuitive but works great.
I really enjoy listening to both of you. Not only the wisdom you share but the rapport between the two of you makes your videos fun to watch. Thank you so much!
I mix it with diet cranberry juice. I mix one table spoon before each meal with the cranberry juice. this and eating a low carb diet helps to lower my A1C. (I am a type 2 diabetic)
Congrats. Thanks for sharing
How can cranberry juice be low carb😮
i have divercuilitis and recently started diluted apple cider vinegar (1 tsp). My stomach hurts less. I have dropped a couple lbs (literally) and i do feel like some toxins are being removed . I don't believe it will have instant results but the vinegar seems to aid my digestion.
I take it and it helped me lose weight.
Yes, this is one of the purported benefits. Congratulations.
I take two tablespoons every morning! I no longer have issues with my gerd
Nice
I took vinegar for about a year. I took about 1 tablespoon with lots of water in the evening. I think it helped keep my blood sugar in the normal range. I check my blood glucose every morning using a blood glucose monitor. But i stopped taking vinegar about 2 months ago, I was more worried about doing damage to my teeth.
If diluted the enamel should be ok
@@TalkingWithDocs Maybe I will go back on it, my blood sugar was 110 today, lol....thx!!
Just make sure you rinse your mouth after taking it.
@@marthamuller1757 You are absolutely correct and I do always rinse my mouth out after drinking vinegar. I should have mentioned that point.
These two are the best !! They changed my life
I have started putting a bit of cider vinegar with the mother in my dressing with olive oil. I think it is helping.
Indigestion in the night, 2 tsp. of ACV in 8oz. of water plus some honey and it does wonders.
Ironic as some have said it made GERD worse
@@TalkingWithDocsmy use is for indigestion that's mainly like an upset stomach, and not GERD.
apple cider vinegar is great on homemade fries, I also use it as an ingredient in tomato sauce for pasta, in soups, etc...
2yrs ago, did my complete blood work, my blood glucose was borderline.
3days ago i did a glucose test after drinking ACV for 10 months now, it was almost below the bottom 😮
Now the doc said i can't do IF, been fasting for 2.5yrs, and need to eat.
My bmi is 23, 61yrs old.
What’s your weight
I use ACV when i make my own salad dressings.....
I use a very simple dressing.
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, smashed.
(The dijon is optional)
I love how you docs explain some of the science and a bit of humor and no bs!!!!!!
We try to limit the BS. There is enough of that on UA-cam and other social media platforms
I came off Protizole 40mg after 10 years after reading about Apple cider vinegar and following a protocol of 4 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water x 2 times a day. Morn & Eve. It takes about 2 weeks to kick in but its worth it being off medication for Acid reflux.
so 8 tablespoons per day?
I like higher concentrations more than lower, so 4 tablespoons in 250 ml of water wirks well for you?
I didn't know what the mother meant for the vinegar. thx for explaining that. i have a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar on my salad most nights. glad to know it's healthy and why. tastes very good. seems like most sour tangy things are healthy..? fermented.
Yes you are correct!
@@TalkingWithDocs Thx!
I live in the USA. I think I'd been prediabetic or hypoglycemic since my teens. When I was having a minor surgery, the RN told me my blood sugars were elevated and to get it checked. At any of my doctors' check-ups my A1C or any other blood test was never ordered because nobody in my family was diabetic so therefore, I couldn't be. At age 30 I weighed 310 lbs. and was tested, resulting with a high A1C. Eight years ago I had gastric bypass surgery and now weigh 126 lbs. My A1C fluctuates so about 5 years ago my husband read about a new study stating, taking 2 TBL apple cider vinegar every day helped to lower A1C. We didn't know any better, so we didn't mix it with anything to buffer the acid. My husband tried it first and loved the taste, he loves vinegar. I tried it and it felt like a volcano erupted in my stomach and esophagus. I was sick for hours. Needless to say, I haven't tried it since. After this video I guess I can use the apple cider vinegar, with MOTHER of course, into a salad dressing and hope for the best. Thank you for your research and honest opinion. cheers
Doctors will tell you to never ever drink ACV straight. You need to mix it with water or mix it in your food. It's very dangerous to your body drinking it straight. Try mixing 1 to 2 tablespoons of ACV with the mother in 8 oz glass of water with a little honey or stevia....it will taste so must better to you.
not even with water? 😅
How many pounds was your husband when he started taking it, how many pounds is he now.
I used to take it straight also, until I started seeing videos suggesting to dilute, so now I use a shot glass w/ a lil water & ACV!
I’m 125lbs don’t need to lose weight so I don’t take it the way I want to
You guys make health information fun to watch! Kinda like a Rowan & Martin routine! Thanks!
I put apple cider vinegar in a cup of green tea with a squeeze of lemon juice
I’ll have to try that!
LOL I thought I was the only one that came up with that concoction.. For the past 7yrs Its been my morning drink...
i have major allergies and this past week the allergies came back with a vengence. the corner of my eyes were beginning to hurt like never before and i knew i was in for a long run of allergies and pain. i was sitting there thinking and for what ever reason it dawned on me to use ACV on the inner corners of my eyes. now believe me when i say this, the corner pain of my eyes was beyond belief this time around for some reason. i put some ACV on a Q-tip and dab it on the inside corners of my eyes in the morning and again in afternoon. i will admit the pain was somewhat painful but after a few blinks and squeezing of my eye lids the pain subsided after about 30 seconds. my afternoon venture into ACV on my corners was a little better as the morning dip did its job, i am in the early morning hours now and the pain in the corner of my eyes is GONE. all the remains is the soreness of what i did when i was rubbing my eyes. NO MORE PAIN and my allergies seems to have disappeared, so far, cept for my stuffy nose ... ACV seems to be a cure all for many things. Edit after i posted this, cucumber juice i found out years ago does the same thing ... cept with that i just squeezed the juice on my eye .. i never used it that much as cucumbers are harder to keep than a bottle of ACV.
There are reports of people getting serious skin burns from applying it topically.
I’d be very concerned about using it on your skin and especially near your eye! ❤
@@paddleduck5328 i should of explained, i water down the q-tip and dab ACV on the tip its not as burny if i were, an i did use full dose, to use just aCV
It is Amazing my blood sugar reduces a 100 points I get 250 number when I eat unhealthy like white starch or rice potatoes but believe me when I take one tablespoon mixed in 5 ounces of water right before my unhealthy meal my blood sugar is like 160 and I notice that I am loosing my weight from my tummy which start accumulating after my ovaries were removed so I believe it has a lots of benefits
Your story is very encouraging to me and probably many more !!! I'm excited to see some great results from starting my journey with ACV. Thanks for sharing your story. May you continue to have positive results with your health 🌹
Best of luck
Hopefully you get good results
I’ve been taking Bragg Apple cider vinegar for years it’s got mother in it. 1 T with 10oz water. I like the taste but then I like Cod and Castor oil.
Your videos are so informative as didn’t know it could help with diabetics . I’m not and maybe taking ACV is helping me stay pre-diabetic. I started taking it because someone said it would help me lose weight it didn’t , but it did make me feel better so I kept taking it.
That’s very cool
I add ACV to my soups to bring out the flavor, and to minimize the amount of salt that I would normally have to add.
I use ACV in my morning smoothie. I enjoy the taste. Thank you Docs for all your informative videos 😊
Dr. Zalzal. It was a great pleasure to meet you yesterday ( 7 c pod 300 ) and thank you and Dr Weening for the great work you do with these videos. It made my day.
Great to meet you !
Nice video, thanks! I have periods where I take it as a drink: 1 table spoon in 750 ml cold water- I find it really tasty once you get used to it e.g. a few weeks after starting. Its refreshing and looks like a nice drink... while others may be drinking sodas you got that one :)
Also love it in kind of vegan cesar's dressings
And, to be cloudy, you have to take the row apple cider vinegar. Also taste is much nicer...
Great video! I take 1tblp of Braggs in a glass of of warm water when I have intestinal problems. Works like a charm. If I were to take it on a more regular basis, how frequent?
Some say small amount every day. 1/2 tsp to 2 tbsp.
I add a teaspoon to a bottle of carbonated water that I make myself and drink that over the course of a few hours - it is slightly sour but you get used to it
I’ve been taking acv for 2 years now, I also put some in my dog & cats water as well Every morning. I’ve lost 20 lbs & my blood sugar has improved. Thank You docs for your helpful videos 😊.
That is awesome. Congrats
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Y’all are terrific thank you for the informative videos. Yes I also do the “mother” vinegar everyday - I put a large splash in OJ every morning and agree it has a bite! I do believe in the positive benefits which is why I keep taking it. By accident my wife bought White House Apple Cider Vinegar with Honey so now I feel like I am also getting the benefit of honey with the vinegar and it does not have the bite that straight AC vinegar has. Maybe a video on honey and its healing properties docs? Thank you again!
Love to hear that. Will look into honey
Thanks Docs, I've used ACV and it helped with digestion. I need to start using it again.
Bragg is probably the best you'll find in the grocery store. Used to be sold only in health food stores now its everywhere. Good product been around for decades
No !!!!! braggs is diluted rubbish that is now owned by “pop star” Katy Perry. Don’t touch that watery rubbish. Buy fairchilds or find a better brand. Braggs is also overpriced.
Used to be good but now they changed the formula & recipe
My PCP said skip ACV because it's too acidic for me with my GERD. Diet and exercise is a better way to lower my A1C (5.9 last test) and Glucose (110 on average). Meanwhile, there's lots of TV commercials for GOLO pills, which of course means "anything sold on TV is probably a scam or junk". Thanks for an enjoyable video Doctors.
Welcome
Can you do a video on the SAFE AND EFFECTIVE?
Type I since age 8. I am on an insulin pump with CGM, so I can actually see how this affects my BSL. I tried store brand white vinegar first (1TB with 16oz water), tasted as good as you'd expect! The next time I tried Braggs ACV (same mixture), not any better tasting but...the sugar spike I would normally see on the CGM was much less with both vinegars. Given the added benefit of the pro/prebiotics I now use ACV as a way to lessen my spikes if/when I eat something high in carbs. Not daily, but definitely a weekly occurance!
Thank you Docs you two are great! 👍
I drink diluted vinegar with a straw, to protect my teeth’s enamel. Works well !
I learned from some video a way to get your two tablespoons of ACV a day. Take 2 water bottles, add juice from lemon in each bottle, one tablespoon ACV in each water bottle. Add a few drops of stevia in each water bottle and shake. This makes it taste more like lemonade, and the lemon aids the hydration. Drink before meals. I do believe it may suppress appetite and though my diet is basically carb-less, it helps stabilize blood sugar.
Actually, we had GERD and Braggs with the mother kept it under control. Take one to two tsp. in 8oz water with a few drops of stevia.
Yes more and more comments share this
I used to use Bragg's but changed to Whitehouse because I noticed they have started diluting their product. if you observe, it is not as cloudy as before.
In the below video, Dr. Berg mentions he used to use Bragg's as well but switched to Fairchild for the same reason.
Take 2 TABLESPOONS before Bed for Perfect Blood Sugars

Fantastic video Doc. Can I leave the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar out while I use it or should I keep it in the fridge once open? What is the shelf life of it if I keep in outside while in use when its possible to do so?
We think room temp is ok
It's all up to you. I think it is hokey. I use a fair amount of other vinegars in cooking, but not this one. I'm going to ask a friend who has high A1C if they use this. My suspicion is that a healthy diet is paramount.
So yes healthy diet is very important. But sometimes diabetes can be hard to control. This wasn't our opinion. This is a summary of the available research and it shows benefit.
I totally agree. I am not at all over-weight and keep to a keto diet of only 10 net carbs daily, but still my A1c & fasting bg are not as low as I would like. I thought I knew all about ACV, as I have been taking it regularly for years, but I have just got some new inspiration from this vid. I used to take very expensive high quality vinegar with the mother, but then someone gave me a whole lot without. Now I am going to down-grade that for cleaning and go back to the better sort for ME. Also, I am going to up my dose from once to twice daily. Wish me luck!@@TalkingWithDocs
My mentor swears that ACV is responsible for her overall good health and she has been taking it every morning (with water) for years. I have tried several times in my life to do this and I find ACV disgusting, even diluted, and it made me feel nauseous first thing in the morning. I have used it in my own vinaigrette, but still, I'd rather use balsamic. Since I'm not diabetic, I'm happy to hear that I don't have to take it because I hate it. Thanks, Docs!
I mix Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemon, Garlic, and Honey, let it sit in the refrigerator for three days.
After three days I do a shot every other day on an empty stomach.
My skin looks great and I have a flat tummy.😉❤
Awesome!
What do you eat for lunch and dinner? Asking for a friend.
@@lowridingtrucks88 Lean meat, fruit, veggies.
@@Dimi374 Thank You
Hi how much water do you mix this with please 😊
I used Braggs ACV when I had a really bad fruit fly problem, worked better than any fly spray or sticky papers. 😅
Just pour enough to cover the bottom of a small dish or bowl, cover with clingfilm, then punch some thumb size holes around the edge and leave it in the affected room for a few days.
Good to know!
Interesting my Avian Veterinarian has me mix 75 ml if apple cider vinegar to 1 gallon of water and provide that as the water source to my parrots. The apple cider vinegar reduces infections in the parrot’s crop.
I have been using it for my birds for years. Organic with Mother.
That is awesome
On my keto diet with fasting, I recently found myself on a plateau. I started taking 30ml ACV (diluted) 3x per day and found that weight loss continued. I'm now a believer.
So hilarious, “of course, she does”, “of course, you don’t”. The best part of these videos is the banter. Oh yeah, and their educational too.😅
I for one, could do without all the banter. Distracts from the legitimacy of the message.
When dieting before eating anything when I first wake up I drink a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother, mixed in 2 cups of warm water, with a teaspoon of honey and tablespoon of lemon juice.
Nice
A tablespoon!!!!!! Nooooootoo much it should be 1 teaspoon max only once a day
I hear many comments here about GERD. I would like very much to know more. Perhaps discussions of the research in Dr Aviv’s book The Acid Watcher Diet. My patients (I’m a Speech Pathologist, Specializing in Adult Dysphagia) often ask me questions, and are on PPI meds much longer than recommended, which puts them at risk for serious side effects and it seems that there is controversy. Maybe have a Gastroenterologist on. That would be cool. Really enjoying your videos! Happiest healthcare workers I’ve seen in a long time!! 🤓
Many people have low stomach acid instead of high stomach acid. So being prescribed ppi..etcetera, can cause serious issues by reducing stomach acid even more. First learned this from Dr. Berg.
Try reducing carbs. It worked for me & my friends. No need to commit yourself, just experiment for a while.
During the winter, or when I’m feeling under par, I whip up the following witch’s brew: 1-1/2 cups hot water, 1 tbsp mother apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, pinch of cinnamon. It tastes dreadful, but it really seems to work.
Add zero calorie Now BetterStevia as substitute for honey for a marvelous drink. You may also add honey for that medicinal value but do not use boiling hot water for honey to prevent destruction of honey’s medicinal value. For the adventurous, add cayenne pepper and/or red pepper flakes.
One can also use a straw to minimize any damage raw apple cider vinegar mixed with water could have on teeth. 😊
Yes that's a great idea
My mother always bought Heinz Apple Cider vinegar and one day I saw some stuff on the bottom of the bottle and asked my mom what it was. She told me it was "mother" and it formed if the vinegar was a little bit older from sitting on the shelf. What do you think?😊
I would suggest people NOT use it if they have GERD. (Cause I thought I was gonna die, even though it was diluted...)
Sure. Makes sense. Or dilute it. A lot.
Dilute it more
I took it with GERD and it cleared it up in. 2 weeks, . After being. On. 5 different meds for GERD
@@mikeshay4866 Wow! I took it with 8 oz of water and it killed me!
@@TalkingWithDocs Reluctant to try again. Did use 8 oz of water...maybe I have Barrett's and I don't mean Stan Rogers.
Really like your videos! Request: When you refer to diabetes, please clarify if you mean Type 1 or Type 2! FYI, to folks out there, T1D: pancreas is not producing insulin, so insulin MUST be taken constantly, for that person to stay alive. T2D: insulin resistance: pancreas produces insulin but cells lock out insulin. Different diseases!
Yes, indeed, but these days more and more people suffer from "double diabetes", (insulin insufficiency plus insulin resistance) which must make their lives even more difficult.
Could you do a video on extra virgin olive oil (the good stuff with the certification seal)? I think Auburn was supposed to do a clinical with it that would involve dementia and small vessel. Unfortunately, covid hit and I could no longer find any information about the clinical. I'm interested in your opinion on EVOO and vascular plaque along with other benefits.
Ok will add to the list
Dear Docs
I'm trying to reduce prescription Omeprazole 40 mg 2x per day for 11 years..
So I'm trying to reduce and then elimate it completely. I was put on it for Barrett's Esophagitis
Which was cleared but now I'm having many of the side effects listed. I've been trying 2 tablespoons ACV with the mother in cup of water and was shocked it stopped the Gerd for that time. What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Patricia
That's 10:42 two much. Be sure to take B12 while on this. I started probotics and it helped me. I take 20mg of pepcid daily. These meds for acid reflux have all kinds of side effects. Research them because there are other things for acid reflux. I take the ACV capsules. The organic ones.
