Question 1

will apple cider vinegar cleanse my colon?

Accepted Answer

No: Your colon cleans itself. There is no such thing as "toxic bowel settlement" or any of the other stuff that you've been told is sitting in your colon and making you sick. If you buy into these lies, you will never feel well again. If you were to believe everything you read about apple cider vinegar (it supposedly cures everything), you'd be reading uncritically. I suspect you already know this.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you believed all the health claims made for this stuff (it supposedly cures everything), you would be reading uncritically. If the stuff doesn't make you sick to your stomach, it probably will not hurt you.

Question 3

is it healthy to consume apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in moderation: Vinegar, including apple cider vinegar, lowers post-prandial glycemia by 20%. This appears to be due to vinegars effect of slowing gastric emptying.

Avoid large dose of apple cider vinegar as  it can cause hypokalemia.

Question 5

what is apple cider vinegar used for in medicine?

Accepted Answer

Adjunct only: The fact that it is promoted as being good for absolutely everything should tip you off that it's not really curing anything. You owe it to yourself to get with an evidence-based holistic practitioner in your community, rather than try to negotiate the welter of mostly-false claims about complementary medicine on your own. There's some stuff of real value. Best wishes.

Question 9

No, but: Why would you drink it unless you just like the taste, it's of no clinical benefit for any known medical problem. In excess, it could also cause you some discomfort. Why would you want to drink it? Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 10

can i have raw apple cider vinegar, how much everyday?

Accepted Answer

Depends on...: Without knowing one's individual details, a doctor would not be able to tell if any particular vinegar would be good, bad, or have no effect on a that person. But, for what health benefit would somebody want to drink any type of vinegar? Vinegar is good for pickling foods, and making foods taste more special, but vinegar is not necessary for normal health.
