No, I am not fear mongering. I just want to know if I might be doing harm to myself with all the ACV. Or if it causes a detox reaction. I am not trying to alkalize, I just want to economically soften the stuff in my liver prior to the flush. Really just wondering if the ACV could be causing some of the toxins to wash out of my liver...my body's cycles are out-of-whack, and i would like to know if it's just part of the process or an actual problem.
