finfighter said:Just because something is ''natural'', doesn't mean, it doesn't have possible side effects as well. Just a heads up guys-
''By taking ACV in small amounts, risks are minimal, but when taking ACV in large doses and for a long period of time, there can be some risks.When using ACV in the long-term, it can lower potassium levels in the body as well as reduce bone density. It is suggested that people who have diabetes should talk to their doctors before using ACV.[7] Since ACV is highly acidic, it should always be mixed with water or juice to reduce the harmful acidity. In one instance, a woman received acid burns in the throat after taking the pill version.[6]
When taken as a supplement, there may be side effects such as irritability, nervousness, and palpitations; other side effects may occur, and theoretically it may interact with certain medicines.[8] Though less common, constipation, gastric hypersecretory conditions, gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, vertigo, and vomiting may occur. Though rare, angina pectoris, drug-induced hepatitis, fainting, heart attacks, and tachyarrhythmia are also listed side effects.[8] It may also cause irritability and wakefulness in infants.''
avcfan said:I have not changed anything since the last postings other than applying the acv directly to my scalp.
I still drink the mixture of 2- 4 tablespoons with water several times a day. I am still adhering to a low-to-no gluten diet.
I was never diagnosed with anything that would specifically be related to anything like this.
On the last post/thread some contributers mentioned putting it on the skin. I did the research and decided it wasn't a joke.
Between 2 and 4 times a day (after my shower in the morning, when I get home from work, before bed, sometimes I squeeze in another time) I soak a cotton ball and dab it on lightly-- not enough so it runs.
It really tingles when applied, and the smell does go away within a few minutes.
I bought the Braggs health book, and it mentions crushing a capsule of royal jelly and mixing it with a tablespoon of the acv.
I might be trying that soon, but I'm so happy and a little bit shocked- I knew it was working but I was even blown away by the photos-I might not mess with a good thing.
I hope Squeegee can upload the photos to this post soon as I have no idea how.
I'm going to post some more photos probably in late February or early March.

Have you been trying it?
In the Braggs book, it describes it in this way: each hair follicle has its own oil can.
The oil can gets clogged by this stuff called bottle bacilli which makes the hair stop growing.
The acv kills the bottle bacilli and stimulates the oil can for greater activity.
They even suggest adding a pinch of cayenne powder with it. (Page 26) I might give that a go, too.

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid....

You could drink it with a straw or rinse your mouth out with water then brush your teeth.

I took them outside so there was no flash. All the white hairs show up great, as well as the little starter hairs that will begin growing. (As I mentioned in an earlier post, that's how it seems to work-- dark little pin points show up, then the hair starts to grow.) I also re-uploaded the December picture with no color enhance so it's not so red. Now- the ultimate science experiment. One of my buddies who is an absolute chrome dome has started taking acv last Saturday. I saw him Wednesday, and he was freaking out because he could already feel growth stubble. I asked him to document his results.
