Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have tried acetic acid, the compounding pharmacist told me that it was basically vinegar. I used it for dissolving calcific tendonitis. We had the orthopedist x-ray the calcific tendon, we measured, did 10 ionto treatments with acetic acid, re-X-rayed, re-measured and there was no change in the size of the calcific deposit. Only one trail and one patient, but thought I would share my results.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Be very careful that the preparation you get is labeled correctly and no more than 5% Glacial Acetic Acid, any higher concentration can cause extremely caustic burns that are difficult to heal.
