Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic) Review

Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am 34 year-old male who had terrible side effects (severe constipation) from statins while trying to reduce my cholesterol of 234. I had to quit taking them. A friend at work recommended 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar with some juice every day. She said her results shocked her doctor after 2 months. She also said it worked for her sister.
So, I tried it that night, and also wanted to check it out online, because I'm always a skeptic. What I found was that a LOT of people recommend ACV for a whole range of things that interest me. After reading all I've read, and from my personal experience so far, I'm really diggin it. The only side effects I've seen is the taste, and because it is very acidic, people say you should keep it off your teeth as much as possible.
Here's a list of some of the things I've read that it helps dramatically with:
Cholesterol, blood pressure, immune system, detoxification, eczema, migraines, headaches & sinus headaches, hair thinning & hair loss, warts, slow steady weight loss, diabetes, depression, insomnia, increased energy & alertness, infections & cancers, the flu, sinus infections & post nasal drips, allergies & asthma, chronic fatigue, sore throats, arthritis, ulcers, bowel problems & IBS, nail fungus, acne, skin problems & complexion. The list goes on and on, to the point where it sounds WAY too good to be true.
I read several testimonials from teachers and nurses that used to get sick repeatedly, to the point where they thought they'd have to quit their jobs, until they started taking ACV. They claim they don't get sick anymore at all.
Since there really doesn't seem to be any side effects from ACV, I can't think of any reason NOT to try Apple Cider Vinegar. I am curious/anxious to see if it helps with some of my stuff. In particular, I get sick. A LOT. I work in retail and I usually need antibiotics at least 4 times each winter for sinus infections, sore throats and post nasal drips, going back to when I was a kid. Allergies. Cholesterol. More energy and some weight-loss sounds good too! Basically, it seems to clean out your blood and detoxify your body really well, which helps to get the whole machine running like it should.
I've only been on it for 14 days as of this writing, and what I can testify about so far is:
1. Energy/Alertness. I feel really good so far. Many users claim they feel a very persistent boost of energy within a day, and I certainly felt it too, and it hasn't stopped. I've also been sleeping very well. For at least 10 years, (since about when I had mono) I have always felt like I was in a bit of a brain fog. (No jokes please!) Since taking it these past two weeks, I feel very alert with increased energy. It just FEELS like my body and brain are simply "on their game", so to speak.
2. Allergies. When I started taking the ACV, my allergies were already bothering me for a bit, and I've been clear as a bell since the first day. Also, every time I go to my in-laws, my allergies go nuts from their dog. I usually have to start popping Benadryl within a half an hour. This past week, I was there for 2 nights and 3 days and didn't even need 1 pill. My sinuses were totally clear! Was it the ACV? Other people said they had similar quick findings, but I don't want to say for sure. Ragweed season is right around the corner, so we'll see how it handles that.
3. Complexion. ACV supposedly helps clear it up in a slow but steady fashion. My face was breaking out really bad for the past month when my cholesterol pills screwed up my whole system. In addition, I have always had many blackheads on my nose area, no matter what I washed it with. I poured a little bit of ACV on some paper towel and rubbed the area with it like a Stridex Pad, and within 2 days my facial complexion looks better than it has in years. I've never gotten results like this! Again, is it the ACV? I can't say for sure. It could just be that my body is happy I've stopped doing what I HAD been doing. Watch... I'll probably wake up with a big 'ol zit tomorrow morning!
In general, it just feels like I am being detoxed, and natural remedies like this are up my alley. If it helps with just 1 or 2 of these things, with no side effects like my pills gave me- I'll keep at it for a while. I don't want to go around running my mouth until I am positive it is seriously working, but I wouldn't mind hearing if it is working for other people too. So let me know if you try it and what you find, and I'll continue to do the same... I'm a bit of a closet scientist who loves to discuss his data!
The only other things I take daily are a Men's One-a-Day vitamin, Activia (yogurt), Claritin (allergy pill), and a fish oil pill (also good for cholesterol & heart health). I've been taking 2 tablespoons of the ACV mixed with very little water, like a shot, and then I chase it with more water. The bad taste is over in less than 5 seconds- No sweat!
One thing I've read over and over again, is to NOT buy the regular ACV you find in the store. People say that it has been distilled and filtered to make it look more clear- but that just takes out all the nutrients and potency. They say to look for "organic" or "raw" from a health store or farm stand, and it is just as cheap. They say that the cloudier it looks, the better.
Just Google "apple cider vinegar" and you'll quickly find hundreds of user testimonials and advice from around the world, from all types of people. I was skeptical at first, but you have to ask yourself... "Could ALL these people be morons?" Or, "Why would they all lie about a 3 dollar bottle that they aren't making any money from?"
There doesn't seem to be much to lose. If it stops working, I'll stop drinking! I'll write another review after my cholesterol check-up within 2 months, and probably another after I see how it does with colds this winter! Good health!!

I purchased this portion plate for my husband as he is a diabetic. Nice glass plate but the black portion markings eventually washed off.

I also purchased the portion snack bowl which is very useful to him and myself when serving him.

Kefir Starter Kit - Makes up to 42 Gallons of Kefir Review

To some people, getting kefir from a commercial starter pack may seem like heaven. But the fact is, this is not real kefir. Real kefir does not need to be rebought once you buy it. It is a living symbiosis of bacteria and yeast that replicates and grows larger, producing more 'grains'. In no way can this be replicated in a commercial starter pack. If you want REAL kefir, do some research, find what do look for, and buy it elsewhere. Real kefir will last you forever, you'll never have to buy more unless you let the grains die from neglect!

I ran across Bragg Liquid Aminos purely by accident. I happened to see it on the shelf at some store when I was shopping for groceries and decided to try it out. I am into healthy foods these days because I am in my 50s with a family history of high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
The Nutrition Facts numbers were good --- 0 mg total fat, o mg cholesterol, 100 mg carbs, 110 mg sodium, and 290 mg of protein. According to the manufacurer, the 100 mg sodium is not added, but is what naturally grows within the ingredients.
Wow. Good tasting stuff! Somehow, it tastes salty without being loaded with salt.
Having lived in Kentucky as a kid, I know and understand the appeal of the best tasting food in the world -- southern greens. But, as you know if you have ever had them, they are loaded with fat and salt.
What I found, as a good alternative, is to steam raw greens in a microwave steamer, using no salt and instead, sprinkling in Bragg Liquid Aminos, along with chopped onions, and your favorite non-salt spices.
Hhm, boy!

Stevia Glycerite Review

Stevia Glycerite
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Note: Four out of five because I'm disgruntled, really... Not the fault of the herb by any means. See below.
I have to say, this is the best stevia product I've ever used. Please note that I've only used like what, one other, so that's maybe not the most educated of opinions, but let me tell why. For one, the previous stevia I used was a powder, and was stubborn to mix into certain common things like tea. My stevia will be used MOSTLY for tea, so that can become a real pain in the A in a big hurry, and I clearly remember becoming agravated by having to stir stir stir for one glass of iced tea. This particular stevia is an extract in glycerine, and is just dreamy easy to handle and use. The cap is a typical syrup cap with the flip top and little hole, and the fluid itself is like a liquidy gel so it doesn't seem to stick to the cap at all. Just turn the bottle over, squeeze very gently, and let a few drops fall into your whatever, stir, and all is right in the world. It's really that easy, I love that part. No mess, dissolves super easy, and easy as sin to measure out what you need.
Now onto why I gave it four stars instead of five. I've long been on a low sugar diet due to health issues, and have tried all the different artificial sweeteners. Stevia is great because it's easy on the system, but to me has always tasted like saccharine or aspartame. When Splenda hit the market, I was instantly in love because it tasted the closest to sugar of all the artificials I'd ever tried. Maybe not perfect, but close enough. Then, recently, nature struck me a furious blow and I had to re-evaluate ALL of my diet, including the Splenda. I haven't received a final diagnosis just yet, am waiting on a colonoscopy to be sure, but it appears I have ulcerative colitis. Out of sheer desperation, I put myself on a mass elimination diet where I can only have a handful of things that some say may help with UC. One of the things I looked into and subsequently eliminated from my diet was sucralose, due to some speculation I'd found on the Internet that it might be able to cause or agravate some physical ailments. Believe me, I've been in total misery with this, so I'm not willing to take chances with anything until I've had some time to recover, and Splenda is NOT so important to me that I just have to have it. Anyway, that's why I'm disgruntled and that's why the four stars instead of five - I had to give up the closest thing to the taste of sugar out of sheer desperation to feel better, and had to switch back to something that to me tastes a bit off. You know what, though? Lots of people say stevia tastes great, and some say it tastes a bit funny. I think it's likely a thing specific to individual body chemistry and sensory perception, and I just happen to be on the wrong team, haha. What it comes down to is I've already given up so much in order to control my symptoms... If the worst I have to endure is iced tea that tastes a bit unusual to me, then I've done ok. And I have to say this too - thank God almighty it's there, and thank God that companies like Now Foods have made it available in such a user friendly form. This is the last vestage of "junk food" for me now, and were it not for this, my life would have lost much more of it's charm than it already has. At least I have an out, somewhere. Bottom line - this is a great product, and those familiar and agreeable with stevia will absolutely love it. Those that have to make due, like myself, will make do well with this.

Health Support Coconut Oil Diet Review

Health Support Coconut Oil Diet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used to have EXTREMELY bad cramps during my time of the month. When I say EXTREME, I mean cramping so bad that I would have minor blackouts. My mother-in-law suggested I take some organic virgin coconut oil and I took a tablespoon of it, however it didn't taste good at all. It did make my cramps go away for that entire day. So my wonderful husband went out and bought me some of these capsules from the health food store, I was kind of skeptical b/c he paid $20 for it, but I thanked him and started popping the suggested amount, 3 caps, 3 times a day.
Since the caps have a small amount in each cap, you have to take that many to get it in your system. The first month I took them, the cramps subsided to just enduring slight pain in the morning on my first day. The second month I didn't experience any PMS symptoms and even less pain on the first day. The third month I experienced NO PMS and NO PAIN through my whole 7 days. I've heard it is good for lowering your cholesterol and help maintain weight amongst other things. I'm just happy they made my cramps go away.
