Accepted Answer

Continue to rinse: Gently continue to rinse her eyes with saline. Watch for signs of eye pain, blurry vision and if these occur, please see the Emergency Department. Avoid rubbing the eye. If not improved in 24 hours, please see your PCP or urgent care.

Question 3

are there any harmful effects of drinking too much apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

Too much of anything: There are harmful effects of too much of anything!
Even drinking too much water can kill you. And anything that helps can also cause harm.
That said, apple cider vinegar is fairly safe but should always be diluted. 
It appears to be wise to limit consumption to 2 tbsp per day.

Question 4

what effect does apple cider vinegar have with adderall? i've heard apple cider vinegar(raw organic) is good for you every day. but mixing with adderall may diminish adderall effects? is this true?

Accepted Answer

Take them separately: If you want to use apple cider vinegar (acv) each day, do it separately from taking your medications (including adderall).  Then there won't be a potential conflict.  Some feel small daily doses of acv can improve bowel irregularity, clear up skin conditions,  improve joint stiffness/pain, and help digest fats and sugars.  It seems wiser to take any medications with regular water, though.

Question 5

what are the negative effects of apple cider vinegar on the vagina?

Accepted Answer

None really: Apple cider vinegar is suggested as a means to acidify the vagina as an aid to healing candida and other fungal infections of that area.  It can be useful, stings a bit if there is active infection but can be an assist to the use of anti-fungal agents like micronazole.

Question 6

what side effects are commonly associated with using apple cider vinegar for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Lighter wallet: Hope you like the taste. Your wallet will be lighter, but not your weight. It's great on the salads you should be eating instead of higher calorie foods. Also increase your physical activity and exercise. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 7

can i add to my diet apple cider vinegar for fat loss eventhough i goto gym for mass gain.. any longterm side effects of acv on stomach or intestines?

Accepted Answer

No: Vinegar will not cause harm to your health, though it is not likely to help with weight loss.

Question 8

is consuming apple cider vinegar dangerous in any way?

Accepted Answer

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 9

will heinz apple cider vinegar work like braggs apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

Not entirely but...: Bragg's is raw/unpasteurized whereas I'm fairly sure Heinz is pasteurized. Pasteurization degrades some nutrients and enzymes that are beneficial. Also, Bragg's is organic whereas Heinz is not, and apples are in the EWG "Dirty Dozen" and high in pesticide residues. 
Heinz should have many of the same benefits but, given a choice, I recommend Bragg's.

Question 10

are there benefits to taking apple cider vinegar everyday? if so what are they and the dosage?

Accepted Answer

Dubious remedy: If you believed the claims made for this ancient stuff, you would be reading uncritically. Scientific medicine has much more to offer; if you choose to supplement, get with somebody who really knows evidence-based holistic practice.
