Just curious if anyone knows what is happening?

My friend has had such severe problems with Discs c4 and 5 and the chiropractor has diagnosed capal tunnel also. This weekend we took several measures to help him naturally. We wrapped a cotton towel soaked in hot organic (with the mother) ACV around his hands (which were terribly swollen to the point he couldn't make even a fist the size of a grapefruit). When we did this the pain in his hands went from a 3 to a 9 almost instantly. We took it off and were puzzled. We tried it again today except with cool ACV and within about 1 min. it was very high pain again. Now I know about healing crises and die off, is that what is going on here? Is the ACV drawing the pain out or the toxins out maybe? If this is right then does he need to do this often? Incidentally, the swelling is gone and so is the pain within about 10 min. afterward. Does anyone have any experiences with this or can anyone offer me any information about this?
