I have had many patients with low blood pressure take ACV and have no problems because it is a real food! But first, I would consult with your physician.

If I already have low blood pressure, is it safe to take ACV?

Thanks

I respect your work very much and take all of your advice seriously. I have a question about vinegar and yeast and I would love to hear your opinion.

I have several autoimmune conditions including systemic lupus and lymphocytic colitis. I have been working with a rheumatologist, but also exploring natural treatments and dietary changes, which have helped a lot. After eliminating gluten and most sugar from my diet, I have lost 115 pounds this year. I have further to go on my journey, but my health is already much improved.

Here’s my question: I recently read a book that was recommended to me called “An Extraordinary Power to Heal,” by Dr. Bruce Semon. The book focuses on candida overgrowth as a cause of auto-immune disorders, autism, skin problems, fatigue, and a whole host of other problems. Many of the symptoms he discusses I recognize in myself. He recommends a specialized diet and a prescription drug called Nystatin as the remedy/solution. He says he cannot recommend natural treatments containing essential oils and caprylic acid because he doesn’t know much about them, and considers Nystatin much more powerful and effective. (I very much want to avoid additional pharmaceuticals, I take too many already.)The first two things he says must be eliminated from the diet are vinegar and malt.

This doesn’t sit right with me because I have always considered (and have been told by other professionals) that fermented foods like apple cider vinegar and kombucha to be healthy and detoxifying. It’s hard to believe they could be contributing to my health problems.

Do you have any thoughts or opinions about this? I’m not quite sure what to think…

Thank you very much!

Must give you some details before asking question: I am treating for SIBO approximately eighteen years post sub-colectomy with Flagyl [taking second course], prebiotics such as unripe bananas and gf oatmeal, and specific probiotics P. reuteri and S. boulardii L-Glutamine, peppermint-oregano oils – not all at once. After an exploratory surgery for cancer in 1995, during which no cancer was detected, sponge left in abdomen along with bleeder in vaginal cuff, followed by MRSA and peritonitis. Survived both after surgery in which colon was replaced in abdomen incorrectly, and became neurogenic, removed in 1997. Have tried alternative treatments as listed above, and find they accelerate transit time whether taken on empty stomach or not. Any suggestions apropos alternative protocols, such as ACV, turmeric and water, other? Have found most internists and gastroenterologists I’ve consulted have no experience treating someone trying to live an active life at 63 without fecal leaking and chronic, severe diarrhea. Not looking for a miracle necessarily [I’m fibbing!], but for hot tips. Have anastomosis; external ostomy and C. difficile have been ruled out. Considering frozen fecal caps transplant. Merci, Dr. Axe.

Also look for mucus causing foods in your diet like milk and cheese. Many people avoid anything with milk because the casein in it makes asthma worse. You may wish to do some research on all foods that cause mucus and/or affect asthma.

It can be. Psoriasis is typically a symptom of something going on in your gut. I would focus on your diet, eating organic meats, steamed vegetables, healthy fats and probiotic rich foods. I would cut out all grains, sugars, and processed sugars as well. I would follow my healing foods diet as well as other protocols given in this article. My relative battled with psoriasis for over 30 years and tried everything. He was covered in it but it wasn’t until he focused on his diet and healing his gut that it suddenly disappeared.
