6th day on A.C.V and after 28 years of copd and 20% lung function diagnosed on my last review 2 weeks ago,no review,no medicines. I can now do things without sitting down for 10 mins after 3 mins work. It is incredible that I can do things nearly normally. Have even stopped the silent sort of whistle us copd suffers usually do. When I used to play snooker and golf my nickname was the "whistler". Of course had to pack up the golf as I did most of my pastimes which were all sport based

I know ACV will not benefit all people but it certainly benefits me.

Next week,if I am still benefitting from the ACV I am going to start reducing my Meds and like most things I do I will not consult a Dr,just the internet..

Looking forward to another mornings light work before my siesta this afternoon .

42 degrees today. Nice.

Ciao for now. R.

Hi cough, I am drinking some now....vinegar that is....it's been sat in the cupboard for months, don't think it goes off though. Will let you know if it has any effect on the b mucus ....or my teeth!

Think you may be right Bev. I tried it a couple of years ago. Gave me terrible heartburn & did absolutely nothing for mucus. After 5 days I felt so awful, & unable to eat a thing, I abandoned it.

R, take care in reducing meds based on "consulting the internet". Seems a bit risky if your lung function is that low

I've been taking ACV, raw, unfiltered with mother for months due to being hypothyroid and having low stomach acid, which causes indigestion. Don't get indigestion anymore. I can vouch for it helping with mucus. I never cough or have had much mucus but over the last few weeks have needed to cough to clear my chest. Initially I thought oh no not a chest infection, but no it's always clear. Wondered why it was happening, all of a sudden, and didn't connect the two until Stone mentioned it. Can only be a good thing keeping my chest clear. Thanks for that Stone x

Interesting to read this. How much A.C.V are you taking in a day and do you take anything with it? It may be worth giving it a go as you've obviously benefitted a lot from it. Thanks.

Ive heard ACV is good but I can't get it passed my nose to my lips I start to gag. I remember years ago the vinegar diet couldn't do that either. Vinegar in all forms is supposed to be good for you but YUK the smell and taste I just can't plus the heartburn would kill me. You must have to drink at least 4-8 ounces right
