Welcome. I remember the day I heard that my mom and then dad had LC. Wow it was like someone pulled the heart from me chest. I agree with the others. Write notes at every appointment, get involved in her treatment, get a signed authorization from mom so you can speak to her doctors on her behalf. Get informed about treatments, medications, and special diets and such. Support HER decisions even if you don't agree with them. I think thats the hardest of all. Moms are special people and when they are sick, all we want to do is heal them. I know how scared you are but treatments do work and will work. shelly

Wow this is such a shock. I am so very sorry.

ok, I am heading to the green grocer for my second bottle since my husband is doing this with me not as well. He drinks it straight from the bottle, ugghh. Here's to week 2.

ok, day 6, i don't mind the taste anymore. I have a little bit of heart burn but it goes away quickly. I have not lost any weight yet but maybe I have not been on it long enough either. I have not taken it with honey. I just hate honey. I am going this weekend to get the coconut oil and add it to it and see how that goes.

good tip teacake. I did use milk a few times so I won't do that again. OK more to add. My Chiro just told me that in addition to the ACV. (BUT THIS IS EVEN MORE VILE) you can take 1 teaspoon of something called Coconut oil paste with each dose of ACV and it makes the digestive system work even faster. BUT he said he could not even do this because it was like eating a candle and just gross. Not sure if I am gonna do that then. then he added taking two teaspoons of just plain old bran every day with 16 ounces of water and after three or four days of possible bloated feeling, ALL WILL PASS freely if you get my hint. just sprinkle it over your first morning food. Once the system is regulated, people have an easier time of loosing weight. OH OH OH and he said ACV pills don't work like the liquid kind does and it takes about 2 weeks for full effect.

Linda, the guy who runs our health food store told me of the honey as well and its written on the bottle too. I guess the honey helps with lubricating joints and muscles and is supposed to be beneficial itself. I just don't like honey. I just got my boss to take her first shot straight too.

It may be physcho-sematic or mind over matter, and the other woman who is taking with this with me at work said the same thing. We dont feel as tired. She said she actually stayed up painting her sons bedroom until 12:45 last night and today she doesn't feel the fatigue. When she said it I also realized I am not as tired. I was able to get home after work yesturday and ran on my treadmill for 45 minutes and although I was winded, I ran rather that walked the majority of the time. Huh.....not sure if its the ACV or not.

Ok, I have adjusted myself to take this stuff straight. Not in any drink. I take the recommended two teaspoons, cringe, then chase it with milk or orange juice or something to kill the taste. Doing it this way actually is better for me. I can get it down and over with in one swallow instead of putting it into a drink and suffering through a few gulps. I am actually adjusting to the taste too. I didn't say liking the taste, just adjusting to it. I have not lost anything yet and its day 3 but I did do allot of snacking this weekend too. I dont look at it either so I don't see the "Mother" spider webby stuff. just gulp it, and get er done.

yep, I am convinced how it works is that it burns a hole in your stomach and what ever you eat, just falls out of the opening onto the floor. We all just took our second shot and OMG its unbelieveably awful. what I will do to be thin.

Bragg is the name on the bottle we have here at work. ever heard of it.

um, i cheat, I take 75 mg. Xanax

Ok well me and 4 other girls where I work just took our first shot of this stuff. WOW its like licking the bottom of a salad bowl where someone had only vinegar as a salad dressing. I think its burning a hole in my lower intestine right now. maybe the food just falls out of the burning gaping hole that is going to form in my stomach. this stuff is gross.

I was not sure where to post this. I just came back from the chiropractor. He is trying to help cure some things I have going on. anyhoo. long story short he starts talking about natural or organic remidies for different things. He goes on and on about how taking two teaspoons of Apple cider Vinegar. ( the pure kind found in green grocers thats cloudy, brown and has spiderwebby looking fibers in it) is almost the best possible thing one can drink. It helps/cures a whole list of things, namely weight loss when taken 3 times daily before meals. its helps with a whole bunch of other things like headaches, bodyaches, lubricating joints, sinus problems, sore throats, digestion problems, dry skin, oily skin, the list goes on and on. just thought someone else might want to try this too.

I am probably going to offend people with my post but its MY feelings. I prayed so much. Oh wow did I pray when mom was sick. I said St. Jude's novena 11 times a day, every day and mom died anyway. I lost faith. I have yet to get it back. I did not pray as much when dad was sick because I didn't believe it would work. I only talked to mom and dad when my sister was sick. Never prayed to God. I had and still have no faith. I was raised Catholic and my mom would be so mad at me for these statements. But I think, why are all these people here suffering so much, yet you let murderers and rapist and child abusers and other evil in the world prosper. I still don't know that answer. I like to think its their punishment to stay here and going ahead is the reward of all rewards. I don't know how to tell you to go on. I learned it as I went along and I did not loose my spouse, but my mom and dad 9 1/2 months apart. My cousin who lost her husband at 30 from cancer of the tounge 2 years ago is getting up every day, some days good, most just awake. She is involved with someone else though but its not the love she had for her husband. It never could be and never will be. All i can say is somehow someway each minute will pass and as you take one 60 second session at a time and see how it goes. one breath at a time, one second at a time. You don't feel strong, but you HAVE gotten this far. my mom and dad are literally a breath away from me and thats how I have to think of it.

Take a deep needed breath now. The chemo is on board and hopefully murdering the masses of bad cancer cells as you read this. Keep a positive attitude.

the "small web" underneath your tounge is filled with small blood vessels and when bitten off it will bleed profusely. (personal experiance with this experiance)

please accept my sincerest condolences. I am so sorry for the pain your feeling.

OH MY GOD PLEASE DO NO LISTEN TO DOCTORS WHEN THEY TELL YOU HOW LONG SOMEONE IS GONNA LIVE. They DONT know, they CANT know. They did not come off a cross and turn water into wine and rise from the dead. Only God knows when he is going to brink someone home. That doctor probably read thoses statistics from a damn manual they all have for delivering this news. Treatment can and does work. Tell your mom to pis_ off the doctors and live 20 years. Tell her to tell them to take their stats and shove them up thier a##es. please do not give up and give in.
