30 Days of Apple Cider Vinegar vs 15 years of GERD/Reflux
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2020
- I have been on one form or another of acid reflux medication for roughly 15 years. As part of my keto health transformation, nothing would make me happier than to get off of all medications and be free of the chronic ailments that have been plaguing me for years.
Some of my viewers suggested that I might be able to cure my acid reflux / GERD by consuming apple cider vinegar. I decided I'd give it a try for 30 days.
Here's the tonic recipe:
2 quarts water
2/3 cup ACV with mother
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1/3 tsp powdered ginger
2/3 tsp ground cinnamon
A few squirts of liquid stevia
Yield is 5-6 servings poured over ice and consumed through a straw to limit contact with teeth enamel.
Prior to trying this treatment, I would encourage you to try the "burp test" I describe in the one year follow-up video (linked below), as that will be a pretty good indicator as to whether this will work for you. It's been 3 years since I started consuming ACV and 3 years I have been reflux free. I currently only drink it once per week, before bedtime. I just put 2 TB in a small glass of warm water and chug it down like a shot. Good luck!

DISCLAIMER: I am not a healthcare professional and this video does not constitute medical advice. I'm just a guy who decided to experiment on himself and share his results. I had switched from Omeprazole to Pantoprazole a number of years ago. After being keto for a while, I reduced from 40mg/day to 20mg/day. When I started the ACV at the beginning of this 30 day experiment, I stopped Pantoprazole completely. Your results may be different than mine and you should consult your physician before quitting any medication.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1) How can this work when ACV and lemon juice are acidic? The problem is that (based on what I've read) as much as 80% of people who suffer from GERD/reflux actually have LOW stomach acid. Because of this the lower esophageal sphincter at the top of the stomach does not get the signal to close, thereby allowing acid up into the esophagus. The acid in the ACV triggers the lower esophageal sphincter to close.
2) How do I know if I have low stomach acid? Mix 1/4 tsp of baking soda with a small glass of water. Drink it and see how long it takes you to burp. If more than 5 minutes (or not at all), you have low stomach acid.
3) Why does it burn my throat when I drink it? Probably because your esophagus has been made raw by stomach acid. I found that after about a week, it didn't burn nearly as much for me.
4) Does this work for silent reflux? I had a lot of symptoms of silent reflux and it worked for me. I can't guarantee it will work for you, but the burp test I describe in question #2 should be a good indicator.
5) What if I have a hiatal hernia? I can't advise you on that. I had mine repaired a number of years ago when I had surgery to fix an inguinal hernia.
6) Can I just take ACV capsules? Maybe. They didn't work for me. Neither did betaine HCL. But perhaps I wasn't taking enough to equal the amount of acidity in liquid apple cider vinegar.
7) Should I keep taking my reflux meds? I did not. My logic is that they would be fighting the very thing I'm trying to accomplish with the ACV.
8) Do I need to make the tonic or can I just drink the ACV in water? You can drink it in water. ACV is the primary ingredient. The other ingredients have health benefits, but most make this tonic more palatable.
9) Will I have to drink this for the rest of my life or just 30 days? It's been over 3 years since I've been on reflux meds or had symptoms. I found that I was able to gradually dial back my consumption to the point where I just mix 2TB of ACV with a small glass of water and chug it down before bedtime once or twice per week.

March 16 2021 this video absolutely changed my life.
I had acid reflux my entire life. When I was 16 I had my esophagus looked at and was told that I had the beginning stages of barrettes esophagus and would need to be on antacids for the rest of my life. Fast forward 15 years and many failed attempts to get off of the antacids; I ended up on omeprozole for a few years and started having major symptoms.
I was now 30 years old and felt like a 80 year old. My life was miserable and I truly believed that this was how the rest of my life would be, or worse.
I prayed to God to lead me to the answer that would fix this and that I was willing to do whatever it took. I found this video that same day and went on a health journey that lead to me going from 200lbs and absolutely crazy amounts of pain and inflammation (from my diet) and of course life long acid reflux to 130-140lbs, getting rid of my inflammation, and no longer taking any acid reflux medication period.
I am so thankful that God lead me to this video and that I found it again to come back and just say thank you!
And thank you for sharing your wonderful success story. Congrats on your health turnaround!
Your experiences sound great! Just stumbled upon this video now, all thanks to the algorithm - not any imaginary friend ;) Looking forward to implementing this video tip after a decade of PPI !
Great to hear that u healed 🙌🏽✊🏽God Bless All🙌🏽✌🏽✊🏽🙏🏽💐
@LatherMaestro it's hilarious how ppl like yourself that mock GOD and "claim" that HE is not real, prove that HE is by your hatred of HIM!
Hey allen I'm in the same boat now. I quit my prilosec a week ago and I'm fighting tooth and nail. I'm starting apple cider tonight.
Doctors are excellent for emergency situations and reducing pain. But when it comes to chronic illnesses, they seem to only be able to put bandaids on the issue.
You hit the nail on the head!
Right on !!
@V should’ve seen my journey with anxiety and panic disorder and trying to talk to a doctor about it.
Bang on! So totally true.
The doctors touting covid vaccines are the same demographic of morons who, for more than a half century and counting, mistakenly think cholesterol is the cause of inflammation. Smh.

This is why healthcare is so broken. Treating symptoms, not curing disease, is what is profitable.
Absolute truth
Bingo!
@@crand20033 yes, it's a vicious cycle
I would say its more towards the culture in medicine, since its founded in a more naturalistic and mechanical perspective to treat illness and diseases by giving them a prescription to fix it all in which most times suppose to work.
you can thank the Rothchilde;s for that. They are who destroyed the American Holistic Hospital system with their pharma suppression therapy models, the FDA enforcer and the CDC marketing arm that we have today. ALL are corrupt to the core and have zero interest in healing. The war to kill alternatives that do is still raging.
I’m 32 years old & I started having acid reflux in my early 20s. I started taking ACV tonics a year ago & the heartburn & acid reflux is gone. It’s a miracle drink. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your experience. 👍
Have you completely cured your acid reflux?
Hi buddy
I'm suffering from acid reflux for 3 months..
When shld take ACV before meal or after meal, how many times a day,nd how much ml
@@sugan258 2tbsp mix with half cup water, drink 20mins before meal
How long you drank ACV?
Hi from turkey, if you have low stomach asid, you will be sick and sense reflux, so vinegar make your stomach asit level 1-3 ph, so your stomach works good, in addition you can use betain HCL+pepsin for 1-2 month, after that you may reduce HCL and put some vinegar instead of HCL, finally you may continue with vinegar after that , if your stomach asit is good , 1-3 ph, your spinchter will close, spincter is door of stomach and osaphagus , thank you and sorry to my English 😅
Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!! I have started ACV recently and noticed a huge difference in my GERD symptoms!! You have no idea how much your story is helping others!!!! Thank you! 🫶👍
I'm so happy to hear that.
I am so glad I found this video. I have had silent reflux for about 5 years. I looked into Apple Cider Vinegar when it first happened and my doctor (who was a naturopath) warned me that AC Vinegar could make it worse so I was scared to really try it. But I fired that doctor and I started using ACV and it has immediately made me feel better, but I have still been nervous about it. After watching your video, I am no longer scared but I am excited to use it every day.
I'm getting a lot of comments telling me that it was KETO, not ACV, that cured my reflux. I can tell you that keto helped and it allowed me to reduce my daily dose of Pantoprazole from 40mg/day down to 20mg/day -- but if I went more than 2-3 days without meds, the reflux returned. That's after being on keto for a year. Since starting drinking ACV tonic twice a day, I haven't had an issue since day #4. I am quite convinced that increasing the acid in my system via this tonic is what has freed me from reflux and the associated meds.
Serious Keto it is the ACV curing your acid reflux. I know this because I researched and did the same thing! What people don’t realise is acids reflux is cause by LACK OF ACID in the stomach to break down a big meal, and as it coats the meal trying to break it down it then comes back up the oesophagus . Adding ACV to your stomach before a meal acts the same way as stomach acid and is therefore able to break down the meal without the struggle 🤷🏼♀️👍🏻stomach acid naturally depletes as we age it’s unavoidable some more and some less than others. Doctors are too quick to give you a pill for everything and the pills for acid reflux are dangerous. But they won’t tell you this either! What the pills do is STOP your stomach acid function completely. You are effectively now a giant rotting garbage pile because the food is slowly rotting inside instead of how it should break down 🤷🏼♀️. This in turn causes skin issues , dizzy spells , heart problems, liver issues the list is massive I could go on and on ! Get the ACV it works and it’s safer I was on omeprazole for 18 years, not realising at any time this medication could of killed me 👍🏻
He shoots; He scores. Luckily for me, I don't have any reflux but the apple pie tonic just sounds like a nice drink. And yes! I know want a plunger pitcher.
I just like how people will tell you what helped you like they was there or in your body and see how your body feel lol before I started keto I started ACV years before and cured mine didnt even know keto was a thing and was not eating healthy at all so keto do not fix everything sometimes you need something else
The increase in acidity will also help with vitamin absorption, helps me with insulin resistance. Glad you're okay! I enjoy your videos
@@jameslucas5590 Skip the plastic pitcher and use glass instead.
I watched this video two years ago when I was losing weight rapidly because I couldn't swallow well with GERD. You encouraged me a lot so I decided to take apple cider vinegar too. Now I am back, fully free of GERD, and eating normally for about a year now. I cannot thank you enough. 💖💖💖
That's fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
How long did it take you to get rid of ACV? I've still have GERD after nearly two weeks. Frustrated!
@@0616jacob I suffered from GERD for 6 years. I took ACV regularly for a year until I got well. I still take ACV once in a while.
@@uranne wow that's a long time. Thanks for the reply!
@@uranne when did you take it before or after meals and how many times a day
Excellent video, sir! So happy for you and more power to you!
This was such an enlightening video to me! I had the same cough for at least 9 months. I saw an ENT doctor who also told me that I had a little bit of acid reflux but not bad enough to medicate. I just never knew if, when I opened my mouth to talk or sing if I would start coughing without notice. I realized that I had not been coughing for about 6 months when my husband asked me if I had been having acid reflux and the answer is no, not for quite a few months! I do believe after watching this that they are connected and I will try this tonic and keep this information. Thank you!
Did you solve your problems with this tonic? Keep us updated!
This is why I fired my doctor and started managing my own health. I'm a better doctor for myself than anyone ever was for me
@ April.... Amen!!
I realized this myself
April F......I realized that after my botched knee replacement that hurts more than the arthritis ever did. I'm missing a few parts that I wonder if I could have kept.
Most doctors suck first GI doctor I went to told me what i was eating and drinking had nothing to do with my problems. I was eating all fast food and only soda.... of course that caused most of my problems... these doctors are just quick to prescribe medication because they want a patient for life... they don't want us knowing the cures.

Good job boss. You saved millions out there. God bless your dear heart
It’s awesome that you shared this ❤
I saw this video a week after release and have been taking the tonic for nearly a year now. Haven’t had acid reflux since then. Thank you!
That is AWESOME. I love reading about other's success!
Hi how long did it take to get healed
@@Aaron-ef5oc I noticed results after a month. I still haven’t had it since. Tbh so glad I chose to do this rather than down the meds my doctor prescribed.
@@Scribblescrabbly Did you go through a period where it got worse before better? - I am on day 6 and am getting a tight throat from the burning.
@@FaisalKhan-gg7mt From the acid reflux or the burn from the apple cider? I had some burn from the cider. So what I did was add a little bit more water at first.
GERD and heartburn were gone since I started drinking ACV. I am having roughly 2 tablespoon of ACV with 500 ml water 2~3 times a day. I didn't add any other recipes on my drink. I felt moderate relief within a day of drinking ACV, and now its been a month. GERD is gone. Thank you so much!
Before meal or after?
hey can u tell me how much is 2 tablespoon in grams? i put 4 tablespoon in one glass of water and it weighed out at 30grams. i dont want to overdose nor do i want to not put enogh vinegar :D
@@Avlysh I didnt measure the exact weight of ACV. but just tried to drink it as often. I usually had 5~8 spoons for a liter of water

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I watched this about a year ago, and it completely changed my life.
I was in a really bad way due to reflux and staring down surgical procedures as a last resort.
While desperately digging for a more natural solution, I found this video.
Thank you!
This information gave me back quality of life that I had thought was long gone. I can not thank you enough for putting this out. It may not help everyone, as you stated, "mileage may vary", but it was a lifesaver for me.
I'm just upset that I spent thousands of dollars and years seeking relief and it was here the whole time.
The Lord provides!
Nature holds many wonders.
Consider the birds of the air, the lillies of the valley, and consider taking your life back from Big Pharma.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so happy I was able to help. 🙂
Was told a couple weeks ago that surgery is my only alternative. I will be trying this for the next few weeks....

@@livingmydreamtrading4824 results?
@@livingmydreamtrading4824 please just to know if the ACV worked for you . Please give a review . Thanks
I'm 57 and have had acid reflux since my teens - my lifelong friend has been Tums & Rolaids. I finally was prescribed Omeprazole 4 years ago - which worked well, but not when I ate chilies at night! LSS, I went off of that cold turkey 6 weeks ago, cause I hated being on medicine. Needless to say, my reflux returned with a vengeance, so I basically had to stop eating by 4 pm to get any sleep at all. This was doable, but clearly wasn't a long term solution. Then I saw this video. Wow! Today I'm on day 14 of ACV tonic taking and am simply amazed - no reflux and I'm sleeping like a baby. It's nothing short of an answer to prayer - a miracle! Thank you so much for uploading this. God bless!
The reflux is your stomach saying no to food =P If you eat food your body enjoys you get rid of reflux ... just saying tho
@@MsTatakai Fail. You clearly weren't listening to the video. Thanks for playing.
I feel your pain, I’ve been through similar experiences with my doctors and I’m not relying on them to help me anymore… truly appreciate this video.
Your anger resonated with me. I am a nurse who works in GI. It really frustrates me to see patients come in so sick, and all they get are pills to put down their throats, which I would not put in my mouth. Knowing that there are other ways to fix these things is so hard. I will often tell patients that it's a good idea to really do Research into their conditions to make sure they're happy with the way their treatment is going. I hope they do and figure out alternatives.
I am happy you did!
Your wisdom is correct for the PEOPLE. May GOD BLESS YOU
You may as well start giving them whatever y'all doctors usually do, and then on the side give them the link to this video or something, hint at it.. be a little slick if you got to.
I feel your anger. That has ALWAYS been my issue. Doctors are taught what medicine to prescribe, not what to use nutritionally to address an issue. They’re still on the eat less, move more, low fat, less red meat train. Praying someday there will more widespread medical enlightenment.
So true.
Unfortunately there is no incentive to "awaken" to the natural treatments, in fact there are powers at play (big pharma) working against this info becoming wildly available.
Though, thanks to the internet the cat's out of the bag and now this info is becoming much more common :)
It's been 2 weeks and it works like a charm. I am greatful that came across this video! Thank you!!
I'm so glad it helped. Thanks for sharing your success story!
Do I have to use it for the rest of my life?
28 days in i must say... this is AMAZING! my road was a little bumpier than yours, (probably bc i have LPR, not acid GERD) having some days where i felt reflux-y but now i'm almost perfectly fine. i there are some foods that still make me regurgitate a little bit but i've gotten so much better. i can eat cheese, onions, tomatoes, ham... i haven't tried any other trigger foods but i had those in moderation and nothing wrong. also, i feel good again. that constant full-im going to throw up horrible feeling is gone and i can move however i want without feeling i'm going to throw up or getting acid on my nose. thank you so much... you truly saved me thousands on those sad medications and made me happy again :)
Hello. It's been almost half a year now experiencing LPR. I thought it was gerd. I went to the doctors but medications never helped. I pray and hope you are okay now. Please pray for me also. I don't know if I'm going to take ACV. I feel in a trauma enduring the pain and vomit almost every time I eat foods especially oily foods and "fruits"
Wowwwww I’m been struggling with acid reflux/GERD since the age of 15. I’m now 27 and currently taking pantoprazole 40mg AND Famotidine 40 mg before bed. I find myself in pain 70% percent of the time and literally getting anxiety before eating a meal because I don’t know if it’s gonna digest or leave me in excruciating pain. I’m on day three of trying this method with just 8 ounces of water twice a day and already I feel better than I have in MONTHS. I haven’t even touched any of my medication and have been able to eat freely. Very frustrating that after YEARS of doctors appointments something so natural and easy turned into a solution. Guess it’s not doctors jobs to hip you to natural remedies, I mean how else will they get paid if we don’t buy up all these pills right? Very happy I found this video.
I'm so glad it works for you.
How have your symptoms been after three weeks now?
Talking About What Tho Still feeling great, even got to try some spicy dishes that I haven’t had in years. The only thing I would recommend is to not drink any alcohol the first 14 days of trying this. I slipped up once and drunk during the 14 days and went to sleep with slight acid pains but the other 13 days felt great and now weeks later I’m still enjoying the relief as well as drinking and eating with no issue.
Nessa H I’ll echo the comment on alcohol. I don’t drink beer since I’m keto, and I find I don’t have reflux issues if I have a couple glasses of wine, but any amount of hard liquor causes major nighttime reflux.
@@SeriousKeto Where have guys been for the past year of my life.
On day 18 of no PPI after 35 years. Honestly, it's been painful, and I constantly tell myself my cells are healing and regenerating. This morning I'm experiencing well being with no burning in my throat or esophagus. I'm filled with gratitude.
Fantastic 👍🏻

@@alisacarscaden21 let me know if it's works! Or not
@Alisa Carscaden HI I'm about to try it tmw. Let's me know🙏 how it work for you?
Steven: Thank you a million times for posting and sharing this video. I took the ACV straight shot without adding other condiments, first one was great, second one 12 hrs later in the morning gave me a bit of upset stomach but absolutely no reflux. I will be more conservative on the next one with adding water and other condiments. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so glad you’ve found relief. 👍🏻
I had a chronic cough along with frequent sore throats and excess saliva, but no pain in the chest. Finally diagnosed after six years of suffering with sore throats and congestion with sinusitis. That finally cleared up after I'd seen several doctors, BUT I still had the cough and excess saliva at night. I started taking ACV capsules and felt relief within half an hour. I also tried a teaspoon in a small glass of water which helped some. I like your tonic solution because you can adjust the dose. Yes, it works. Turned out I had both sinusitis and gerd at the same time. I had asked doctors about ACV and they'd say but there are no studies that prove this. Right, because it's not a pharmaceutical! I think we should write to our congresspeople about government funding for studies of nutritional remedies. I've done much research on this out of necessity and it kills me to pay doctors just to write a prescription when I can't tolerate the side effects of any drug. The older you get, the less you can tolerate side effects. Seniors are getting inadequate healthcare and still paying for it. Write your congressperson or the Surgeon General.
Did you ever feel like you couldn’t swallow?
I get excess saliva too. Horrible.
I’m happy for you to get out of medications! I hope there are more people with acid reflux will see your video and they can fix their problems. There are always a way to cure our illness but we just don’t know it yet and we rely on the doctors.
Congratulations buddy! I just started keto about 5 months ago and this was one of my many discoveries. Worked literally overnight for me. Down 70lbs, no acid reflux/stopped OTC meds, off blood pressure meds, etc! I love our online community and it couldn't happen without people like you. Thank you.
Man this is so inspiring! You guys, I have been taking Prilosec for over 10 years & I’m ready to try this ACV out & give it a chance because it seems as though this is legitimate. I can feel the cognitive side effects from the omeprazole, it has to be from the meds my anxiety is getting worse & worse I know this medicine has to do with it!!! God I hope this cures me!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@cutepetstown4406 I was on the verge of having to get medication when I started drinking Coca Cola again after years. In 2 weeks, no acid reflux. I know the sugar isn't what some people would want, but, a medium drink for lunch, and a 10 oz for dinner was all it took.
So glad I was led to this video. I’m only on day 5 but feeling results already. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your results
Day 15. Still going strong. I used to feel the reflux so much during the day I couldn’t tell which foods bothered me most, but now, on days when I feel the reflux I think it means those foods are triggers… like one day I had pork sausage and so I had 6 tblsp of vinegar that day instead of my usual 4. It helped.
@@exploringcoasttocoast0203now what's your status?
I worked in 3 medical clinics for 13 years. I was so shocked to find out that GPs hardly learned anything on diet and nutrition in medical school! I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux too and prescribed Nexium and Tecta. I like to read literature or contraindications. One time I read the one on Nexium and I couldn't believe the serious adverse side effects written there. One of the doctors I worked with prescribed a PPI and told me to take it for 6 months. Good thing I read an article online that says you shouldn't take it for that long. So obviously, these doctors don’t know what they're doing!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with ACV. I might do that too!
Excellent Steve! I fought this one years ago to a point of surgery (nissen fundoplication). I had the same concerns with regard to the long term use of the medicines. In the last year the wife and I have became familiar with a Naturopathic Doctor. It's amazing the difference in approach to an issue and how much better we both feel. Like you, there's more to the story. He's why I have love 50 pounds and still on track for 40 more pounds to goal weight. Keep the video's coming. Great job.

Take ACV effervescent! It's so easy
Please get checked for mineral deficiencies, that will have been brought on by creating life, and could also be due to (like my family), mthfr, mineral deficiencies (from gluten allergy destroying the gut and causing mineral absorption issues, mold exposure. Etc.
You can rebuild your stomach acid with apple cider vinegar; but that does not answer why it was happening you see; all you’ve now done is use (holistic means) to suppress a symptom / expression etc.
Mam I'm suffering from gastritis since from 1 year please say me that did you get rid of gastritis cure mam please reply me .
Don’t be sad man, don’t be angry.. because of you many people will have a better future. 🙏🏻 Thank you for this.
I trusted you as soon as I saw you're a Packers fan 🤙 in all seriousness, great video that I totally resonate with and plan to begin trialing tomorrow !
Congratulations on getting off those meds!! I found my acid reflux completely goes away when I’m not eating wheat and/or sugar. I would like to try your tonic for the other health benefits. Doctors will never look at nutrition as a cause or cure because there’s no money in it for them. Watching my mom go through 2 years of a sinus infection, pill after pill, surgery and 3 doctors later we decided to replace the rug in her bedroom and it all went away. Doctors don’t look at environmental aspects either. But all this made me turn to holistic ways to treat everything.
I literally started this yesterday after 20+ years of meds. After my FIRST tonic, I felt better and on day two still going strong.
Any updates?
Did you continue?
How and what did you mix it with? I cannot stand the taste!!
@@jennifershields2911 Really the way he describes. Try added a little more sweetener, it does grow on you.
@@donke7171 I was thinking of mixing a little zero sugar vitamin water to add a little electrolytes. I tried just plain water and acv the last two days. Definitely going to make the tonic instead
I couldnt sleep for months. Even now the reflux woke me up and found your video. Going to start tjis tomorrow and will update you every week.
I would encourage you to try the "burp test" I describe in the one year follow-up video, as that will be a pretty good indicator as to whether this will work for you. It's been 3 years since I started consuming ACV and 3 years I have been reflux free. I currently only drink it once per week, before bedtime. I just put 2 TB in a small glass of warm water and chug it down like a shot. Good luck!
Thank you buddy very informative and I’m sorry you had to go through all those years of listening to people that only know how to treat things not naturally or holistically, but by what they’ve been taught in their medical schools which is stopping the symptoms versus addressing the real root cause God bless you
I just wanna say THANK YOU with a big hug 🤗
You don’t how you’re changing people’s life. I’ve been on PPI for a year or so ( on and off)
Tried everything! From taking bland food to giving up on my favourite foods. Especially, coffee, dairy, tomatoes, and pickles !!!
It made me feel terrible for a year ! It started in November 2020. I saw your video long back but then saw another video of Tama saying no you shouldn’t take ACV ! Kept wondering what to do but few weeks back I was so frustrated and I thought want the heck ! This is the only thing i haven’t tried. Lemme just try and guess what ! IT WORKED ON THE FIRST DAY !! I took and I literally felt no pain or reflux on the Same day ! I’m on day 10th and I’ve already had coffee 2 times. I didn’t touch coffee in past 2 years !! It was such a liberating feeling.
I can’t thank you enough !!!
And I’m also angry on these docs ! Without checking the ph they just give antacids !
My metal health was ruined 😭 I used to cry myself to sleep and wonder why is it happening to me !! You saved me ! You saved me !! I’ll always be thankful and grateful ❤️
And I hope this comment give hope to people who are going through this !!
Just give it a try and see how body responds and please don’t trust the negative things online, which say you can’t cure this !
You can if you follow the right things and do the right things.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi! How are you now?
Hi Nidhi... it is wonderful to know that it is helping you and gives a hope to a lot of us too.. I am yet to give it a try as i am waiting for my gastritis and esophagitis to heal first.. Is it possible for you to give us an update on ur current situation? Is ACV still working for you ? Did it make things better??
@@suchimodi4739 glad to have seen this comment of yours . I have history of gastritis and esophagitis. Just wanted to know how are you thinking of getting rid of them as they are caused by low stomach acid as per my latest understanding. Let me know as well.
Adopting the keto lifestyle led to me becoming completely migraine-free after having suffered from the condition for over 40 years. Getting rid of ALL my prescription meds for migraines was overwhelming and freeing. Congrats on your success with apple cider vinegar for your acid reflux. ACV is a fantastic addition to the diet for so many reasons.
Be careful with Keto there are studies that show it to be dangerous! If that doesn’t work maybe try a vegan lifestyle , that’s been helpful for me
Very very well done video! I needed this!
Wow! Thanks for posting this. I sent it to my brother who has been taking a ppi medication for 20 years. I am hoping he will try this.
I'd recommend he watch the one year follow-up video. It will likely answer any questions he may have.
Really loved the reaction and the face of admission after reading the side effects of pantoprazole
Wow, thank you for this video. I've just been diagnosed with acid reflux which is probably with me the most of my life (family issue). Its started similarily - with problems with permanently sore throat. Already been to 2 doctors who prescribed PPI drugs and none of them mention dietary changes. (except for one phrase that cow's milk is bad these days). I didn't start taking drugs having seen its components and side effects. I want understand it and treat it the most natural way. (So far realised, certain breathing excercises give relief.) And seeing videos like yours give me hope and reason to think that it is possible. I am happy for you freeing from the medications. Much love from Poland.
Thank you for making this video. I just turned 40 and have been experiencing lots of recurring unpleasant health issues that all happens at the same time due to stress. Chronic dry cough, insomnia, cold sores, headaches. I have never taken so many medication like this. I have been having this persistent dry cough mainly at night for the last 4 months and my doctor started me on omeprazole 20 mg. After watching your video, I think I know how this is going end up, but I know what to do now. Will start with diet and sleep. I am thankful for good people like you that cares about other. Cheers!
I do know the med. lisinopril for high blood pressure causes a very dry cough that is hard to get to go away in some people.
It’s a good blood pressure medicine but can cause this.
Never stop taking high blood pressure meds suddenly…talk to your doctor about how to wean off them.
Thanks man I’ve been doing it with just apple cider and water but I will follow your instructions and get myself up. Mine has caused me to feel fear, anxiety and has led me to emergency room. But with your instructions. Hopefully in about a month. I’ll be free and able to enjoy the simple things in life once again. Thanks my friend
I encourage you to watch the one year follow up video. I answer a lot of questions you may have. Good luck!
I was in the same boat you were in. I had something in my throat that kept coming up that wouldn't go away so I went to an ENT doctor. The doctor did a Restech study on me and my acid reflux was off the chart. He gave me the same medication you were taking. I taken the medication for 1 week and said I am not taking this anymore because I'm not a medication type of person, and two it just didn't feel right. I decided to do some research and get rid of this acid reflux naturally. I figure this issue is based on what I am eating and the time of day I'm eating it, so I switched my diet, started doing some research and come across your video about apple cider. Like you, I will take the apple cider for 30 days and throw away the meds, no good for human consumption at all. It's like I'm paying these doctors to break my body down to get worse. Medication have so much side effects to it, they don't tell you that part but they prescribe medicine. Eating naturally, drinking vegetable juicers came to be my routine and I feel so much better and energetic.
I have fixed 5 ailments myself all down to nutrition. I am sick of being chucked antidepressants & omeprazole. I have fixed myself through diet, intermittant fasting, supplements & apple cider vinegar. I have wasted 2 years of my life suffering from stomach problems & vitamin deficiencies. I'm so angry at the time that has been wasted. Sometimes it's better to take your health into your own hands! If I hadn't I would still be layed in bed, not being able to function.
What suppliments helped you. I think i have leaky gut plus acid reflux. Any suggestions...thnx
Could you please tell us what you did ?
Yes please let me know as well!
I have passed through same thing, don't know how to cure myself😔
Sarah Physick how do you drink your acv?
Thank you so much for this video!! And it is great to see people finding the truth in a world of lies that cause damage.
Thank you 😢 for such an awesome video, so thorough and heart felt
Thank you for your life-changing video! After years of struggling with a persistent cough and only finding antibiotics from doctors, your insights, AI research, and tips from TH-cam doctors led me to relief. I appreciate your recommendations, but I've decided to leave out stevia for health reasons. Grateful for your dedication to helping others. You're a true inspiration!
@@kysmik8214 I went to the doctor to get medicine. But still coughing, but less.
Dr. Berry often talks about "big pharma" and their fixes. How ridiculous is it to take medicines with such awful side effects and could just cure it naturally for less than $20 a year or so. Glad you got your issue resolved 😊
The painful sensation of heartburn has been vanished since I started out applying this heartburn treatment t.co/yGqhYaiClu I had been able to do my normal routines again! I`ve eaten spicy food, take out, I have tried and tested and am 100% happy with the results!?
Ah yes i am the 1% of the population, these side effects are totally going to affect me.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1) How can this work when ACV and lemon juice are acidic? The problem is that (based on what I've read) as much as 80% of people who suffer from GERD/reflux actually have LOW stomach acid. Because of this, the lower esophageal sphincter at the top of the stomach does not get the signal to close, thereby allowing acid up into the esophagus. The acid in the ACV triggers the lower esophageal sphincter to close.
2) How do I know if I have low stomach acid? Mix 1/4 tsp of baking soda with a small glass of water. Drink it and see how long it takes you to burp. If more than 5 minutes (or not at all), you have low stomach acid.
3) Why does it burn my throat when I drink it? Probably because your esophagus has been made raw by stomach acid. I found that after about a week, it didn't burn nearly as much for me.
4) Does this work for silent reflux? It did for me.
5) What if I have a hiatal hernia? I can't advise you on that. I had mine repaired a number of years ago when I had laparoscopic surgery to fix an inguinal hernia.
6) Can I just take ACV capsules? Maybe. They didn't work for me. Neither did betaine HCL. It's possible my dose wasn't high enough. Taking the capsules may be right for you if you need some time to let your esophagus heal enough that the ACV doesn't burn going down.
7) Should I keep taking my reflux meds? I did not. My logic is that they would be fighting the very thing I'm trying to accomplish with the ACV.
8) Do I need to make the tonic or can I just drink the ACV in water? You can drink it in water. ACV is the primary ingredient. The other ingredients have health benefits, but most make this tonic more palatable.
9) Will I have to drink this for the rest of my life or just 30 days? It's been a year since I've been on reflux meds or had symptoms. I found that I was able to gradually dial back my consumption to the point where I just mix 2TB of ACV with a small glass of water and chug it down before bedtime once per week.
Will apple cider vinegar without the mother be effective?
Yes, but the mother is good for your gut biome.
You are amazing. I prepared this elixir and it worked for me. Thank you

I’m ready to give this a try. Thanks for your transparency Steve!! My wife wants me to come off PPI it’s been 11 years
hows uhh now @dwayneharris9182
Your video is emotionally uplifting. It gives me hope that this problem isnt lifelong as most people promote it to be. Gonna try the same thing. I appreciate you putting this out here for people to be enlightened on the benefits of acv for gerd.
I recommend watching the 1 year follow up video. Good luck!
Same here! I m suffering from sore throat and taste in my mouth but determined to come off omeprazole after many years! I have weaned off gradually but not through advice from my doctor because took me off Omeprazole then onto Lansoprozole and then back on Omeprazole as he seemed determined to keep me on PPIs. I am going to try Cider Applr Vinegar as last resort. Even pharmacists seem reluctant to criticise PPIs!!
This video encourages me to go ahead and make my ACV drink. I bought a new bottle of ACV a week ago but have let it sit. Sometimes I hate to try new (to me) things. Thankfully, no acid reflux, but have other issues. I am back doing KETO for a month now and am experiencing so much less joint and back pain, what a blessing! There have been no other changes in my practices but eliminating carbs to 20 grams and less per day. Thanks for the video!
Every body reacts differently to many things the body is a mystery, Doctors can tell you one thing that something is good for you, But your body will let you know for sure, My Doctor said drink apple cider vinegar which I did, this was to help controll high blood pressure, a month later I got Acid reflux bad, my chest hurt and my left arm, It continued for about two and a half months, I went to specialist and he said after I explained what was going on, said I don't think you have acid reflux, I told him also that I had been drinking A C V, told me to stop drinking it which I did, but told me to see a heart doctor which I also did, the results ( Nagitive ) my heart was sound no problems, that same week my acid reflux went away. Apple cider vinegar my help some, but as I said every person's body is different.
I did this! ACV replaced my PPIs of over 20 years! I totally related to both the frustration and celebration of this video!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your success story. 👍🏻

Colleen - interesting. I didn’t even notice the emojis. Had to look again after reading your comment.
So true
Thank you. THANK YOU. I'd only been on PPI's for 2 months, but I knew something wasn't right. I did some research, including watching your videos, and jumped in head first! My GERD/reflux symptoms are basically gone and I've only been using ACV for 4 days. I take two tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water, as soon as I wake up each morning, and about 30 minutes prior to my evening meal. I feel great, and I have no acid reflux whatsoever. I think it's also very important to eat well, limit the carbs, and drink plenty of water. Damn those doctors! They should be referring patients to at least trying ACV before PPIs.
Do take any medications ? I take a few and wonder how the ACV affects absorption ?
Hi ma'am must it be acv with the mother? you see i exhauted all of my savings on ppi and antibiotics. acv with the mother is expensive in my country. i do not know if acv without the mother does not have thesame composition as acv with the mother. Atleast i can afford the former
Awesome video
Awesome results
Happy for you
Happy you shared to help soooo many ❤
God bless!
Thank you for this video. I have been suffering for a couple of years now. I was at the point where I was taking Prilosec and 2 Pepcids every night and it wasn't helping. I have been drinking this tonic recipe for over a week now and for the first time in I don't know how long I'm able to sleep through the night without choking for my life. It really works. So glad I found this.
I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing your success story. 👍
Great video, you will probably being hearing from the FDA any day. I share your joy. After being on high Bp medicine for 15 years that never really worked and having struggled with high blood sugar (metabolic syndrome - insulin resistance), I started the Keto diet. I also started drinking 1 TBS of ACV and 1 TBS of lemon juice in a glass of water every day. After one month my at rest Bp is 116 over 65 and I've lost 12 pounds. Keep up the good work and I pray you don't ever develop any of those poisonous side effects.
Thank you.
I too got hung up on prescriptions.. more like 3 yrs. But then started learning other options. Can't swallow the ACV because it burns too, but found DGL tabs, ACV tabs, so helpful, no more meds, but I've mixed up your tonic for the cure. Now it's nutrition, keto, and now learning about "earthing". Thank you for all you do.
Hi Steve, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I have heard it many times with my patients, being on prescriptions forever without it doing much benefit. As a naturopathic doctor, I teach about nutrition and natural methods of improving health. I have recommended ACV to many of my patients who have acid reflux and bloating from PPI medications. It works like a charm. So happy it benefited you too!
Can I just drink diluted ACV with water or has to be the tonic ACV for it to work?
@@jennyd5728Drink with at least 8 oz of filtered or bottled water. Start with 1 tsp. To build up tolerance. Hope this helps. Be well.❤
Doctors are not schooled in nutrition. I weaned myself off doctors and don’t have much faith in most of them. Be well.
Thank you so much for the great video! I’ve been on pantoprazole 20mg for little over a year now. I have not slept laying flat for 14 month now due to night time reflex. I raise my head of adjustable bed plus wedge pillow plus extra pillow. As you can imagine, I have not slept well for 14months. I never had depression, but I have days where I feel really hopeless and depressed for all the pain and discomfort I feel every single day. Recently my ENT doc tried to increase my dose to 40mg. This is the second time I try 40mg, and it did not make my reflux any better, in fact I felt worse both times, which led me to do some research and Im deciding to slowly wean off of the med within next 3 months. Your video gave me great hope. Thank you so much!!!
I would encourage you to watch the one year follow-up video. I answer a lot of questions you may have.
So glad I came across this video. I have been on 40mg Prilosec for 5 years and just tried this regiment. Within 5-10 minutes my stomach felt better then it has in those 5 years. I share your anger and frustration with the medical community but am incredibly grateful that we have videos like this and the Internet to share that information!
How r u now?
I can't thank you enough. I asked you before if it's a good idea to get off meds when I've only been on it for 2 months, and you redirected me to the 1 year review video. So I've been drinking ACV for over a week now (went cold turkey off meds) and I feel like I'm cured already. No more globus sensation in the throat (or mostly gone). I can't believe it only took a week and a few spoons of ACV to help me cure my reflux. My problem, like 80% of people, was low acid instead of the opposite. I will continue drinking ACV, and I wish you the best that life has to offer for helping people like me.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so happy to hear that it worked for you. 🙂👍🏻
@@SeriousKeto if I am drinking a cup of ACV. what is the dosage?
How many accounts do you drink? And is it before every meal or how often? Thanks.
This was emotional to watch especially at the end. I will def be trying this and it is better late than never you cured yourself! Happy you made it .😃
Thank you. I'm doing the same thing now. I had been taking medications for 20 years. Soon every, over the counter meds, stopped working. GERD got worse. Then almost 5 years ago; I decided to go cold turkey from the meds and search for natural alternatives. One night while eating blueberries, my heartburn disappeared and I felt great. After eating breakfast of either eating oatmeal or fried eggs; the heartburn returned, and I started over again. This has been going on for nearly 5 years now. About a couple months ago, I decided to have an endoscopy done. I was prescribed that exact same medication that this guy was prescribed. Long-term side affects of it are not an option.
I will try this tonic beginning tonight and continue for 30 days. I too, am angry at myself for not eating my vegetables when I should have. People are lucky to have good gut health.
Your tonic is healing leaky gut, which takes a couple years to fully heal, so keep doing it Bro! I'm at about 9 months of ACV, and not only do I not have reflux EVER (Mine was milder, usually treated with tums), but as PART of my leaky gut healing regimen, my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are going away. Healing leaky gut allows you to absorb nutrients that would otherwise just go through your system.
Marko Sharko Are you doing the Keto Diet?
So I started trying this tonic and noticed my symptoms increased which is strange because ACV helps my reflux, but I found out for me it’s the lemon juice! Now I’m taking just the other ingredients as a tonic and it’s been helping! So if you’re having the same issue maybe try and drop the lemon juice or cinnamon as these can cause reflux in some people and try again. Don’t give up on the ACV!
Thanks for sharing your results.
Yes lemon juice isn't for everyone, you don't need the cinnamon for any other reason than flavoring, so not required, substitute those with raw honey, takes away the sharpness and adds it's own flavor ! Can I also suggest looking at videos on YT on ACV & Olive Oil, put the two together and according to these videos you should live to 100 minimum 😂
thank you for sharing your experience
I've been using apple cider vinegar for the last 7 years. Your absolutely right and you can even discover more benefits that you can experience along the way. Cheers! 😊
I have gerd for more than 15 years. 3 weeks ago it got really anoying. What ever i ate i felt bad. I just saw your post, not having much hope gave it a try. I used fresh lemons though. Now after 3 weeks drinking one glass in the morning I feel great. I do not know how it works but it does from the first days. Not just gerd but my stomach feels relaxed. No dull pains no feeling full...
Thanks for sharing your results. I'm glad it worked for you.
Love you for making this video!!
I've been experiencing gerd for 2years and it amazes me how doctors always say it's high acid when that is not the issue and perscribe you countless pills. Well I have to say I'm 16days in drinking this acv mix and it has changed everything! I'm really thankful for your video! Hope all is still going well on your acv journey!
That's fantastic!
Great. Do you drink it before or after?
@ktrn I personally drank it before. Me personally have stopped taking it and started meditation when I get the feeling. I have cured almost 100% of my reflux. Definitely give it a shot everyone is different.
Thank you for this. I did your apple cider vinegar recipe for five days and a castor oil pack for three days. Finally relieved of my acid reflux. I will continue to drink this daily. The only difference since it’s winter, I drank it warm. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

You deserve to be angry, but know that pain will change the lives of so many in the world, hopefully me included, may you be blessed with light onward in your journey
Thank you for this video, I have been following these steps for about a month now. Before so, I had such a hard time dealing with GERD that it caused me to have anxiety. If my GERD acted up soon after my anxiety would follow. I thought I was going crazy and didn't know which way to turn next. I turned to your channel after a desperate night of searching for help. I am glad to say that I am feeling a million times better and my mental state has improved drastically. Thank you for sharing this video it has definately changed my life for the better. Some foods I still stay away from but for the most part, I can relax when choosing what I eat.
Reading this makes me very happy. Congrats!

Exact same thing i am facing. The anxiety..my o my.....its like going crazy about which positon to lie down or to sit...or wheteher to puke...or to burb..or to control the anxiety symptoms, the bloating in the upper stomach along with nausea and burning.........will ACV help???I am tired of being unhappy...
Same!!! I started to have muscle spasms in my neck too.. definitely can make you feel crazy and alone.. I started this today, already feeling a difference. Thank you for this video! ❤️

Hi STEVE I’ve been taking omeprazole for nearly 25 years I tried getting off of it by slowly tapering off about six years ago but had terrible rebound results. I actually given up on kicking it but came across your video 30 days of Apple cider vinegar versus 15 years of Gerd reflux. I followed what you said in terms of making the tonic and I’ve completed three weeks with very minimal reflux. I watch the trigger foods you mentioned and not eating three or four hours before bedtime. Can’t tell you how appreciative I am that you made this video. Again thank you thank you thank you Steve
I’m so glad to hear it. 🙂
Are you still doing good?
Did you take the vinegar while still on the medication? How did you taper off?
How did you took it please share
Try soda bicarbonate.. I had gastric ulcer and was on antacids for 4 years then I started taking soda bicarbonate .. i was off antacids after a week or ao
Congratulations!!!
Yes, it's years later... and I went off Pantaprzol when I first watched this... but didn't do the ACV tonic consistently or daily and was drinking too much ACV with Baking Soda to settle down the burns, or taking too many tums when not at home, or in the middle of the night. I've come back to this and THIS TIME I'm committed to getting 'healed'... I'm glad they haven't cancelled this!
So... 15 years of medication (expense) NEVER cured the problem.... but ONE MONTH of ACV tonic.... CURED!
@Miss Deb After a month of consuming ACV and got cured, are you still drinking ACV up to this day or only occasionaly?
@@vanillaice7576 I make it by the 2-1/2 gallon fridge container.

@@SeriousKeto thank you. I’ve been doing it everyday since I watched this video. It seems to be getting better. But I still have some irritation in my throat daily. Will that go away in time?
Also, I know you said in another video you had reflux since around the time you got married 25 years ago. Were you ever diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus?
I know this video is one from 3+ years ago. Still, I have been on pantoprazole for a long time (7 years) after omeprazole for ages, so after listening to you, I decided to give ACV a try. I also had a hiatal hernia repair, but then my surgeon found I had a second hiatal hernia (leave it to me to be a weirdo). I will try the ACV to prevent a second surgery, which I honestly fear.
You keep on being my hero! Show me the way, Pathfinder Steve!😊
Did you try acv yet? And how?
@lamsytuan1 Yes, I did. I mixed 1 tablespoon with my favorite morning drink (that took a bit of doing, but tastes change, and I came around). That's it!
I have not given up my pantoprazole yet, but it is down to 1/4 of my previous dosage, so that is a definite win.
Bonus: ACV reduced the swelling in my ankles, something even the doctors were unable to achieve. Now I have "sexy" ankles...if such a thing could be said...
Continuing on. One day, I may be done with pantoprazole, maybe not, but I am SO happy to be taking less and less of it!
@@whiteflower5603 how are you doing now?
@@lronlance6366 I am still on a quarter dose of pantoprazole because the 2nd hiatal hernia acts up periodically (and I do not want another repair job). The ACV and I are at peace; that is, we are living together in harmony. And, my doctor didn't want to go to the quarter dose to begin with - I kinda bullied her into it with a promise of an increase if I had problems.
So, other than ACV being my friend, I am stalled out, but feeling GREAT!!
@@whiteflower5603 sounds good, I would look into exercises for the hernia, it might help you out in the long run. Also chamomile tea smoothes the lining of the esophagus too.
I’ve had reflux for years. Never had heart burn but I had the cough like you. I was put on prilosec and I took it for a year. I had the same symptoms as you and I was told it was part of my job and my weight. A couple of years ago I came home from a Disney World vacation with an upper respiratory infection and I lost my voice. Months later I still did not get my voice back even though I had gotten over the infection. I went to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and was told I had plaque on my vocal chords causing the laryngitis. After being on numerous medications I did a little research and found that acid reflux could cause the plaque on the vocal chords. I told my doctor this after I found out and he put me on prilosec. Lo and behold within a week I had my voice back but I kept taking the med for 1 month and stopped again because I knew taking it for a prolonged amount of time causes problems. I started the apple cider tonic and never looked back. So happy that you found this and that you stopped taking those meds.
did you take it in the same way? like the tonic in the video?
Same procedure u take sir
Sounds like you had LPR
Did your cough and other LPR symptoms completely go away regardless of what you eat?
I was on Rabeprazole for 6 years until i watched this video..i tried your 30 days challenge and thought of sharing my experience after I finish the challenge and here i am after 30 days not a single PPI..and I cannot thank you enough sir you have changed my life..

Hi kalita what was yours syntomps and how are you now
I'm kind of a person experimenting on my self. I had IBS and none of the doctors, at least i tried 4 doctors, none of them could suggest me a better medication and ultimately after a month of day and night abdominal pain I stopped tried going to doctors and started listening to my mother old recipes and now for the first in a month feeling better and back to normal life.
3 years later and I found acv tablets. Going to try these and see the effects. Your story is so beneficial.
Hey, did you try the ACV tablets ? I’m lazy to make the tonic 😆 and want to try the tablet version
Thank you so very much for sharing this. I am experiencing the same issues and was just about to schedule and Endoscopy upper GI to see what is going on and why this heartburn only gets worse. I already made this Apple Cider Vinegar while watching this video and am so excited to try. I have been trying other natural supplements and enzymes to heal my body. I definitely agree with more natural alternatives to medicine and doctors do not know everything, so we have to be our own doctor and find what balances our bodies.
