    Acv I believe is an alkaline food which helps the body become alkaline. You may have too much acidity in the body throwing it out of whack. I did use access waters/ lemon waters for weight loss / rebalancing alkaline/ acidity.

    I found it did help. I'd look into whatever you can to heal your gallbladder bc having it out can cause other problems.

    Also I think there is a book called acv miracle and it tells you all the health benefits of acv. You may be interested in something called oil pulling as well.

    Also I believe borage or primrose oil and linseed oil help aid weightloss. And a book worth looking at is the acid/alkaline diet this is more for rebalancing the system less for weight loss.

    Vinegar is an acid. And the acid/alkaline diet is nothing but woo (as is oil-pulling).





    The unsubstantiated theory is based on lab studies that suggest cancer cells thrive in an acidic (low pH) environment, but cannot survive in alkaline (high pH) surroundings. While these findings are accurate, they apply only to cells in an isolated lab setting. Altering the cell environment of the human body to create a less-acidic, less-cancer-friendly environment is virtually impossible.

    While proponents of this myth argue that avoiding certain foods and eating others can change the body’s pH level, these claims stand in stark contrast to everything we know about the chemistry of the human body. Acid-base balance is tightly regulated by several mechanisms, among them kidney and respiratory functions. Even slight changes to your body’s pH are life-threatening events. Patients with kidney disease and pulmonary dysfunction, for example, often rely on dialysis machines and mechanical ventilators (respectively) to avoid even small disruption of acid-base balance.

    Lol I love this forum. Hilarious. How everyone is always so adamant that if I ask a question about something that means I absolutely think its totally true even if I plainly say I don't think it is. I said I didn't think the claims were viable since nobody has ever claimed it actually helped with weight loss (I don't know how someone thinks vinegar could change the metabolism) but a lot have claimed it has helped with some other things. I'm NOT saying it is true. I'm saying that FOR ME it has helped FOR RIGHT NOW.

    Thanks for the.... Ehm.. "advice" LOL. Always have a good laugh with posts.

    Cleared up my uti infections completely! I was becoming resistant to antibiotics because I had them so often. I don't care if that is placebo or not but monthly infections for two years, peeing blood, hospital stays, etc to nothing in one night of treating myself was amazing! I use it regularly on salad,

    Again, stupid app won't let me post everything I have typed. I have screen shots of the whole post too. Can't figure out why it only posts half. Sorry for the off topic. Any fixes in the future as far as anyone knows?

    Just be sure to thoroughly rinse your mouth afterwards because ACV is acidic and known to damage tooth enamel.
