Hi Nancy,

The directions are a good place to start. I have digestive problems, not as bad as this past summer though!

I started with what the Bragg's bottle suggests this past summer. After my mini liver flush/cleanses (that were combined with a Colon Cleanse and paranil parasite cleanse), a Master Cleanse, a couple of Clark liver cleanses, humaworm parasite cleanse, two more Liver Flushes my digestion is much better! I'm not where I want to be but I know that I am on the road to better health...

I started a few months ago mixing up 32 ounces of water with about 1/4 or so of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar with some grade B maple syrup (don't really measure the syrup but it's not 1/4 of a cup). I then pour half a glass of that mixture with half a glass of pure water. That way I have drank my 2 quarts of water a day and have helped my digestion. (this is the way that I used ACV...I think that it is good to start low and then add to your bodies tolerance).

I had heartburn really bad before I started my cleanses and the ACV. I was hospitalized with pancreatitis last October and have suffered with heartburn since that time. Was on a couple of meds for it (stopped all meds in June of this year). I don't have problems with heartburn any longer.

I know that the ACV was helpful in this as I still had the heartburn the beginning of September but since the end of September on I've not had any. Did my humaworm cleanse from the mid of October (this year) to the mid of November.

Hope that this helps...

Like Ailsa I had heart burn too, and ACV actually completely got rid of it in 2 days!! The heartburn I had was only triggered by sweet foods, like fruit or anything with Sugar in it, and it could be just a minute amount and I'd be on the floor for 20 minutes in pain. I take ACV every morning in warm water, from 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons depending on my mood. I also use it for salad dressing and in cooking sometimes.

When I first started taking it again after about 6 years of not taking it, my body craved it so badly that I went through 1.5 litres in 3 days. I still don't know how or why I did this, but I couldn't stop drinking the stuff!! I would mix it 50:50 with water or apple juice and drink and drink! I couldn't do that now, but obviously my body really really needed something that's in it. I feel it also has some positive effect on my digestion generally and helps with circulation, both lymphatic and blood. This is only my experience I know others have had even more wonderful results!

Oh!! I should also mention I am sitting with a jug of it next to me right now which has stopped a very itchy rash on my jaw. I tried a bunch of other things including neem, VCO, sandalwood and GSE, but the ACV has stopped the itch completely in about 20 minutes of dabbing it on the area with a tissue. Better than getting some toxic cortisone cream from the doctors!!! :D
