Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 I was curious to know if there is any connection between pH imbalance, heavy metal poisoning and craving vinegar. As a child I used to crave and beg for a drink of vinegar (weird). My mom would compromise and only give me a quarter-cup. (I had several similar symptoms that I see in my son -- extreme anxiety, obsessive- compulsive, etc.) Has anybody else seen a similar symptom?? Can anyone speculate as to an organic cause?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 I think one of the things you do for people who have too high an ammonia level is to give them acid so they can pee more if it out. Vinegar is also acetate, which easily forms acetyl-co-a for energy production and may help jump start liver metabolism (as citrate also does for some people).

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Vinegar feeds yeast...could this have been the intestinal yeast looking to be fed? Just a speculation!?! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinegar feeds yeast quite well. a _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Re: [ ] Craving vinegar I have come across diametrically opposed positions on this: apple cider vinegar kills mold and is beneficial for candida problems; vinegar feeds yeasts and worsens candida. Might the natural processes involved with producing raw apple cider vinegar produce a beneficial product while the more common plain old (more acidic) vinegar is harmful? Apple cider vinegar is very rich in potassium which could be related to a craving. Rob. > Vinegar feeds yeast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Typical grocery store vinegars use sulfites to age the vinegar quicker. Naturally aged vinegar is available from health food stores. --a > I have come across diametrically opposed positions on this: apple cider vinegar kills mold and is beneficial for candida problems; vinegar feeds yeasts and worsens candida.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hi, Sorry I can't answer all your questions but if you do have a Candida problem vinegar and sugar will feed it and just drinking these because you crave them is not healthy for you even if you didn't have health problems. Just a suggestion but if you think you have a candida problem you could do a simple CDSA/w sensitivity [comprehensive diagnostic stool analysis] to test for what is there and best how to treat it. Find a good alternative doctor to help and do lots of research.
