Hi Folks,

Here's wishing all of you well. In Feb. I started taking 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with mother in it to lose some weight and since I started taking the vinegar each day my seizures have decreased a lot. I am amazed how this is helping me. I will say it doesn't taste that good especially the first thing in the morning but last yr. at this time I had 33 seizure and so far this yr. I've had only 15. If any of you like the herbal meds you may want to give it a try. Here's wishing all of you only the best and May God Bless You!

I have a feeling my Dad was taking that for one of his medical conditions, I’m not sure which one but have a feeling it might do with stomach issues he has.
I just remember him suggesting to a friend last year who has similar issues to try it, he says it doesn’t taste very nice but it helped. Not sure if he’s still taking it now lol.
 
That's great Sue. I'm glad you've found something that is helping!
 
Hi CQ,
I have read that apple cider vinegar with mother in it will help people with upset stomach or acid reflux. I hope your Dad is doing well and I wish you only the best also.
May God Bless You!

Thanks
Dad has a few medical issues, ive lost track with what they are though lol.
I only remember his main issues which he has his specialists for.
He seems to be going ok at the moment :)
 
Why!

More than likely, that vinegar with mother has helped some problem your body was having and that help has lessened the stress that problem was putting on your body, which has resulted in fewer seizures, which is GREAT!
Many times it is the things we try that nature provides that can help us better than the man-made things! :clap:

The acetic acid in ACV is one way the gut is connected to the brain where it acts on the vagus nerve. Meanwhile, you might consider trying to raise your acetate-producing gut microbiota.
 
Hi Folks,

Here's wishing all of you well. I just wanted to update all of you and tell you I'm still using the apple cider vinegar with mother in it everyday and my seizures have decreased like crazy. I started using it in Feb. to lose weight but the vinegar has reduced the seizures almost in half. So far this yr. I've had 27 seizures total as of June 30th 2018 where last yr. at this same date I had 49 seizures total. If you can stand the taste of vinegar with mother give it a try and see if it doesn't reduce your seizures also. Wishing all of you only the best and May God Bless You!

Hi Folks,

If you decide to try the vinegar with mother take 2 Tablespoons in the morning and see how things go.

Is "mother" a typo, or should I have my mother stay with me if I decide to try ACV?

Hi Nakamova,

The word "mother" isn't a typo error. Mother is a strand of protein, enzymes and good bacteria found in organic apple cider vinegar. If you do decide to try it make sure you get the organic type. I found it in Walmart. I will warn you it burns when you first start using it but after a few days you get used to it, just be sure to drink some water of juice after you take the vinegar to get the taste out of your mouth. I wish you the best of luck and I hope it reduces your seizures also. May God Bless You!

Sue
 
Thanks for clearing that up Sue. :)
 
I use Braggs apple cider vinegar for many things including keeping my pigeons healthy but I didn't know this about seizures. I will definitely be passing your info on to my daughter. Thanks for the heads up.

Which brand did you purchase from Walmart? I just went to that web site and did a search for it. It pulled up several brands. I also read it was good for allergies and I have those too so I thought I would try it and maybe it would help my seizures or allergies. If you could tell me which brand worked for your seizures I would appreciate it or did brand make a difference with you?
 
Hi KathyJJ,

The brand of ac vinegar I got with mother is "Whitehouse" it's an organic vinegar and I'm amazed at house it has stopped many of my seizures. You are correct it's also good for allergies and arthritis. Let me know how you make out and if you can get it okay. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Thank you Sue but I'm afraid I'm having second thoughts about it now. Since I made this post, I have learned some side effects it can cause that would not be good for me to take a chance on. My problem is, I am very sensitive to anything I try to take. I have to be very careful and most of the time, I still have to quit taking it because of the side effects even though I have decreased the dosages. But, I appreciate you letting me know. At least I will have the information if I decide to go through with it and if I do, I'll let you know. Thanks again!
 
ill give it a shot. The wife already has some around the house.

Ill report back in a bit.
 
Hi gymrat827,

I wish you the best of luck if you try the vinegar just be sure you don't use over 2 Tablespoons a day. I hope your seizures stop. Wishing you only the best and May God Bless You!

Theres no way ill get go past 1 tablespoon. Apple cider vin is some of the grossest stuff ive ever tried in my life.

my wife drinks it in the mornings with lemon, honey, tea, etc. But even what she mixes up is just so disgusting......It better do something.
