Apple Cider Vinegar and Virgin Coconut Oil

nhgirl30

I just started using ACV last night to see if it will help my burning stomach pain. I hope it helps with my belly fat too! I was also looking at coconut oil but decided to wait. I think after reading the posts I will buy some.

I have use the mothers vinegar, take 1 spoon full each morning, chased with orange juice. After 2 weeks the knee joint paid was gone completely. Use coconut oil for entire body and hair. It gives a nice natural sheen to skin and hair.

Vinegar is suppose to be a cure all, many have sworn by it for various medical conditions. I have seen people lose weight behind it, but they take it differently than I do for joint pain.

It must be mothers apple cider to get the results I had, distilled has all the impurities processed out.:flowerforyou:

My sister uses the coconut oil to make popcorn. It's the best popcorn I have ever eaten!! My aunt adds the oil to her oatmeal, everyday, and has noticed that her hair is getting thicker. She has very thin hair, and has noticed that using healthy oils everday for the last six months is making a difference in her hair.

I KNEW I was getting ripped off. I got my quart of Bragg's at my small local nutrition store and paid $6.99 for it.

I've got to try this with the popcorn, thanks

A lady told me that she and a few of her friends add Bragg's apple cider vinegar to their water every day and they all have lost weight. I have been drinking it in my health shakes but not consistently. From what I have heard from other, it really works. They say use Braggs because it has the "mother" in it- the core of the apple. Not all ACV are created equally apparently.

Thought this was interesting...

A few years ago a had a bunch of very random and seemingly unrelated health issues. Wandering and debilitating pains in my wrists and hips, pains in ears, irregular cycles, acne etc etc. I had all sorts of tests done. Everything came back normal. Then because I'm a big user of alternative medecine, I made a connection in my head, looked it up online and figured out I had a systemic yeast infection. Lovely. A few more searches and besides eliminating all sugar and fermented food from my diet, coconut oil was recommended. I bought the concentrated tablets of caprylic acid and very quickly, all the symptoms disappeared. It's a fabulous anti-fungal!!

My dad has used ACV for years. Can't stand the smell of it anymore but I'm gonna make my hubby use it for his acid reflux. It'll just be an added plus if it reduces his belly fat My parents also use the coconut oil for cooking/baking everything and they love it!!

I use the ACV as a dressing over cucumbers and apples. I do 2 tbs with 1 tbs water a packet of truvia and garlic salt. I don't do it daily but when I have a stubborn pound that wont move. I forgot about adding it to water. I will have to try again and I have heard coconut oil is good for you. I will have to try that.

Sounds good to me along with the coconut oil. Have to give it a try. Hypothyroid.

I have found a spoonful of ACV helps an upset stomach (nausea) almost immediately. I haven't tried it for anything else, and I've never tried coconut oil for anything but cooking yet. I've heard several positive things about it from people outside MFP, though.

scheppster

I was wondering if you can tell me more about this. I saw this on Dr. Oz and wondered if it really worked to get your metabolism going. How much do you put in of ACV in how much water?? thanks, I am new at this!

Never heard about the ACV, I do have Braggs in my cupboard. I use Coconut Oil, I use Nutiva and you can get it cheaper on Amazon than in the store.

I usually add it to my smoothies or I cook or bake with it.

I have read the ACV can damage tooth enamel, so you should drink it through a straw...

Is a store brand of acv ok to use?

boogiewoman1

I've been using acv, a shot in 1/4 cup water every day. I think it does help with fat burn. I also use it on my toenails to combat tonail fungus. A tablespoon in dogs water helps prevent yellow spots on lawns. Mother nature's cure.

Mglgroupinc

thanks for the heads up about acv...I used it last night as a natural diuretic...
