Apple Cider Vinegar and Virgin Coconut Oil

I bought a cheap bottle at Albertson's and I'm using it until I can get over to Trader Joe's for Raw Organic ACV because I heard it's way better. But, in the meantime I haven't had a problem with the cheap stuff. I just put 2 teaspoons in 16 oz. of my brewed green/orange spice tea so you really can't taste it and I sip that throughout the day w/ a straw. My joints/stiffness has almost disappeared! My stomach is just about completely flat but I know that is from also taking the virgin coconut oil each day. I have so much energy and am feeling great compared to just a couple of weeks ago when I could barely walk, no energy. A car accident broke my neck almost 4 years ago and it's been all downhill since. Surgeries, pills, shots, you name it .. nothing worked and each day my body crippled up more and more, to the point where it felt like stone. Pain so severe I just wanted to cry because I didn't know what else I could do. So, I began searching myself just about willing to try anything to get better and get my life back. Natural home remedies, etc. and came across VCO virgin coconut oil and thought what do I have to loose? I had my husband take me to the store and bought it the next night. My neck was so swollen I could barely breath and it felt like I was being choked literally. I took a heaping tablespoon and within less than 15 min. my neck went back to normal, I could swallow, breath and see and feel my collar bones for the first time in almost 4 years! I took another tablespoon an hour later and w/in 30 min. my stomach was almost flat, back to normal. I began adding the ACV the next day in my tea and I keep using my VCO. To me it has been a life saver when all else has failed me miserably. No more pills, shots, etc. for me. I have seemed to do for myself what all the doctors haven't been able to do, cure me. Even my thryoid is almost normal and I've suffered with low thyroid for years. The VCO stimulates underactive thryoid and it stimulates your thyroid period. I am just speaking for myself and what it's done for me. I weighed 161 two weeks ago and I've lost 10lbs since then and have not changed my eating habits and I haven't even exercised (due to weather here). So, good luck to you and here's to hoping!

I am sooo happy for you! What an amazing story!

I use the virgin coconut oil on my entire body. I did my research on it. It does rev up your metabolism but I tried it for the sole benefit of my hypothyroid condition. My meds have now dropped from 50mg to 7.5 mg and the doctor says that he thinks I don't need my thyroid medicine anymore. He is amazed. I am too! The weight is falling off me and who can't be happy about that?

Loving this information! Just knowing that it could help with my Hypothyroid condition! I am currently on 125 mg and still feel like I could fall asleep standing up some days! I remember when I was 8 I would drink straight pickle juice until my aunt caught me and told me I had to stop as I would never gain any weight! *sigh* I remember when that was a problem

Apple Cider Vinegar DOESN"T work.

Coconut Oil does work because 50% of it is MCT or Medium Chain triglycerides. MCTs are effective when low carbohydrate dieting. The body uses this fat easier than standard fats.

@fitnesssocialist thank you for the information. Reading this link : http://www.webmd.com/diet/apple-cider-vinegar
I disagree that the article shows it doesn't work. It actually acknowledges it does have an effect on weight loss, among other things. Overall the article suggested that some conditions are helped by vinegar, however some other conditions are incorrectly said to be helped by it. It also indicated it could be worth trying in small doses such as on salad dressing - just not in the concentrated capsule form.
