so i've got a lot of skin issues and i hear consuming apple cider vinegar daily may help with cleansing & digestion and greatly aid in helping with chronic skin rashes/conditions. anybody have any experience with making a little mixture of avc to drink? i can't imagine it tastes that great lol, but if it'll help calm my skin i'd be willing to try it..

I don't drink it, but I do use it on my face like a toner... Works well for me.0

thanks the first no was very helpful
i do use it sometimes topically, but my skin is sensitive so i have to dilute it quite a bit so it's not as powerful, but ive also read on forums/sites that including avc in the diet could help when you struggle with things like tinea versicolor & other candida problems0 -
no, it doesn't. and "candida" problems are a lot of bs.
AVC is a very important ingredient in a lot of my cooking though. Stews, sauerkraut, rottkraut, sauerbraten, roast chicken, etc. etc. Good addition for flavor.0 -
well idunno i can see there being a link in flare ups with candida, and i suffer from a lot of skin related issues due to it. it being the candida, not the link between diet/candida. but sugar does flare it ive noticed
i do wanna start cooking with it more though in general, i only ever use it in baking really
i was just looking for feedback from anyone here personally cus im always reading about it it seems wherever a site leads me, so idk!

My husband drinks a concoction 2x a day with Braggs ACV (with the mother), some honey (from our own bees) and distilled water. It smells gross but he swears he can see/feel the health benefits and now that I'm thinking about it, he hasn't been sick since he started doing it. It may be the placebo effect at work here, but who knows.0

I like to add it to my salad dressings.0

This is candida overgrowth.
Is that what you look like? Then no, you don't have overgrowth. Just susceptibility to dodgy marketing.
Enjoy ACV for what it is, a great tasting (in general) vinegar, and a much needed addition to a lot of meals. Don't fall for people promoting it as a cure of all the world's ills.0 -
I've been mixing a teaspoon in a glass of water twice a day. I like it. I would never promote it as a "cures all" substance, but I haven't been bloated since taking it and it has given me a little more energy throughout the day. Skin wise I haven't really had any breakouts since taking it either now that I think about it. The taste isn't too bad either. It has a little bit of a red wine taste. Doesn't taste great, but doesn't taste as bad as I thought.
I it so far.0 -

First pic was just skin fungus, a semi-mild case. The rest though, that's actual fungal overgrowth. It's definitely not what is being promoted by the current crop of snake oilers.0 -
Not sure about a 'cure' for yeast issues...oh and those recent photos are just disgusting...just saying.
Anyways, I posted this back in the fall. I drink ACV with water and a bit of stevia everyday - helps my blood sugars
"Apparently drinking vinegars and 'shrubs' is a whole movement...and I'm on board. Not only yummy, but incredibly good for your system too!
So many recipes online too.
Do you drink shrubs too?"-1 -
I use Braggs. 2 tsps 3 times a day with a tiny bit of honey added to take the edge off.0

actually i do have an overgrowth of yeast on my skin, it's called tinea versicolor.. i know what's on my body, it's a chronic issue i've dealt with for the past couple of years and i'm also susceptible to yeast infections elsewhere.. but yea i do have a chronic skin fungus that's hard to treat, as there is no ''''cure''' so no need for gross pics! lol
really this topic i posted to see if anyone struggling with things like that, such as tinea versicolor, had had any added benefit from consuming avc more often. but anyway!
i think i'll def try it with honey rather than by itself, ahha. and also have found salad dressing recipes.0 -
For over 3 years, I drank 2 tablespoons of unfiltered ACV in a glass of water each day, and it did not:
- Aid in digestion
- Help with skin conditions and acne
- "Cleanse" from the inside, nor did it aid my liver in any way
It did:- Gradually rot away the enamel of my teeth, even when sipping through a straw
- Cause acid reflux
- Cost me quite a bit of money
That's just my own experience, so it may be different for you.0 -
You might have better luck following a Candida diet including focusing on: probiotics, detox, improving colon health, hormones, antifungals, nutritional deficiencies, liver health, food sensitivities and more.
The most crucial part is to remove all forms of sugar.
I'm sure you know about this. I don't think 'one' thing will help...sounds like a life style that needs to be adopted.

oh god, "candida diet" lol.
such a shill diet.0 -
See a doctor and/or dermatologist. The problem with these unproven home remedies is that people use them and put off/avoid getting actual medical help. You can even ask the doctor about diet.0
-
another problem is that they're unproven.0
