I found this vid after hearing about all the benefits of taking apple cider vinegar from a couple people at the gym after mentioning how bad my respiratory allergies have been this year. It sounds like the main reason it works is because of it lowering your ph. Does anyone here take it now or have taken it in the past? What, if any benefits have you gotten from it?

No, but I've been considering it. Supposedly it helps with acid reflux too.

I think he mentioned that in the vid. Acid reflux is actually caused from being too alkaline...who knew?Originally Posted by Driftbrah

Not sure how much I believe that the raising or lowering of the PH is significant. I'd think our bodies are pretty good at regulating that and if it were out of whack there'd be bigger issues than allergies.
That said I have a couple people I know that swear by the stuff. There are drinks now that have incorporated it making it easier to handle but I'm not a bad ass like you who could likely chug it from the bottle

You cannot change the pH of your body. If you managed to, you would die.
This guy is a quack, as is anyone on the other side of things promoting the "alkaline diet" nonsense.
That being said, apple cider vinegar may or may not help your tum tum feel better and might be worth a try.

There is a difference between excessive stomach acid and overall body PH.
You can treat the former not the latter.

as Mentioned cannot change your PH. Even stomach acid would only be effected for a very short amount of time before returning to homeostasis likely an acidity determined by genetics.
