Are you taking tablets that actually contain apple cider vinegar or homeopathic pills based on the pseudoscience of homeopathic dilution that don't actually contain apple cider vinegar?
This thread may have moved to the next level of woo.
I take tablets that contain 600 mg of apple cider vinegar. You can call it whatever you want, You can debate all day. Doesn't matter to me at all. What I KNOW to be true is that apple cider vinegar cured my sinus infection when I could not go to the doctor. Since that time, I've gone from 3-5 sinus infections per year, not to mention several colds, to ZERO. That's all I need to know.
I was just curious to know if they were actually homeopathic. You introduced that word into the conversation, not me.
Setting aside the question of how you can KNOW what cured your sinus infection, how do you think that it prevents sinus infection and colds? Are you also in the camp that you can change the pH balance in your body and make it impossible for a virus to survive? I realize you may not be in a position to act on this information, but if your doctor believes that it does, s/he should act on it. Viruses have killed millions and millions of people. We are now ready to defeat one of humanity's biggest scourges. Think of the human benefit just from eliminating all new HIV infections. Your doctor needs to get the word out.
We could have totally avoided the whole Ebola debacle in the US.

LOL no
EVEN IF there was a shred of truth to this...how in the world do you think you're making your body more alkaline by drinking a strong acid??
Here's an alkaline 101 primer for you: "Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming."
Now why don't you limit yourself to comments on subjects you actually know something about?

You can also find it touted on "Red Spirit Healing Energy," a group that offers energy healing and medium services. They will also, for a fee, eliminate ghosts from your house.

Me too. I don't know how or why it works, but I've gone from having numerous colds, and strep throat at least once a year, to none of the above in the past ten years. And so I intend to keep on drinking it if only for that reason.

I have a bottle at home and have used it to help settle my stomach when nothing else will help. Seems odd that it would help with that, but it does for me. I also like to use it in a very simple vinaigrette of a Bragg cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
I've also read reviews (see Amazon.com and other places) by people who drink a tbsp or two of apple cider vinegar a day and swear by its variety of health benefits. If it's the placebo effect we're experiencing, hey, whatever works.0 -

There is some evidence for the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. But it's very acidic, so drinking it straight can damage the enamel on your teeth. http://www.webmd.com/diet/apple-cider-vinegar-and-health0

Apple cider vinegar, if you like vinegar, is good for salads, and I guess drinks called shrubs in the olden days.
I hate vinegar like I hate woo.
I like vinegar for cleaning and laundry. I just use regular white distilled vinegar, though.

Ive been drinking braggs vinegar consistantly for about a month now. I dilute 2 table spoons in 34oz of ginger lemon green tea, I think it tastes great. It may just be my imagination but I feel that I have more energy, or it could be the combination of the massive amounts of water I'm drinking as well.
I use it as a toner and my skin is amazing now! I use it in conjunction with coconut oil.
Also, my friend had a nasty wart on her foot, the vinegar took care of it over the course of applying a soaked cotton ball on it daily for about a week or so.
Braggs is about 4 dollars, I figure its cheap, its natural, so it couldnt hurt.0 -

I already posted the link to the only scientific study that's been done, which was basically inconclusive. So it comes down to a matter of opinion, and it seems that on this forum we have several people who use cider vinegar and say it has some benefits for them, and a bunch of people who've never tried it yet are keen to shout about how it can't possibly have any benefits.

I have Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. I use it to remove moles and warts from various parts of my body and it does an excellent job. I used it on 2 warts on a cuticle and the pain was excrutiating but the warts went away and have stayed gone for a few years. It removed a mole on my back with no pain whatsoever.

No it was quite conclusive based on the two or three quotes (including one I posted) from the study itself. It just doesn't say what you think it says.0 -

No, you have people who know how the digestive system works arguing against you and your anecdotal evidence and the logical fallacy of confusing correlation and causation.

The apple cider vinegar alkalinizes the body and creates an environment where viruses can't survive. Or so I've read, and going by my own experience it works.
This is impossible. We can't change our body chemistry that way -- and it's a good thing we can't because making your body more alkaline is no minor change. It would do a great deal more than just make you immune to all viruses.
Think through what you're saying. You're saying that drinking minor amounts of apple cider vinegar would eliminate the threat of all viruses. Why doesn't Braggs send ships filled with apple cider vinegar to Africa to fight HIV/AIDS?
They probably think that the aids epidemic isn't real.
I wouldn't be surprised, y'know, they recommend putting that stuff in your vagina.
Your user name responding in this thread is just so great.
