Question 1

i have a uti and it usually gets severe for me. what otc medication can i take? is drinking water with apple cider vinegar recommended?

Accepted Answer

Water alone is best: Be sure you formally see ypue doctor if you have worsening UTI symptoms as this will need treatment to avoid a kidney infection or spread of bacteria to the blood stream. For OTC remedies, try AZO for pain that occurs with urination. Cranberry tablets are good as well due to a component of the fruit that makes it more difficult for bacteria to take hold in your urinary tract. Keep the water plain!

Question 2

how long will cocaine take to get out of my system if i did it last friday? i'm detoxing w/vinegar water cranberry juice & i have a drug test this fri

Accepted Answer

Cocaine use: Cocaine has a very short half life of only several hours which means it is quickly out of your system. Because of this cocaine is highly addictive and I would recommend treatment if you are a regular user of this or other illegal drugs. Your drug test on the following should be negative if you do not use again. Good luck.

Question 3

does propranolol at a low dose interact with apple cider vinegar? i take 1 table spoon with 8oz of water before a evening meal for gerd .what  other drugs interact with  apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

I don't see why: it would.  I also don't think that (m)any drugs interact with apple cider vinegar.  It's no different than a bowl of for example hot and sour soup....
Very good that you know to take ACV for GERD and not proton pump inhibitors, which are very dangerous long term.

Question 4

what do you suggest if my child drinks vinegar like it's water?

Accepted Answer

Pica: Pica is a condition where people eat things with no nutritional value.  The most well known cause of pica is iron deficiency, but a complete metabolic and nutrient screen evaluation would be wise.  Otherwise, it can be considered an eating disorder, which requires psychological assessment.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: A small dilute amount should be tolerated. Watch though for poor feeding, lethargy and vomiting. Your note did not specify your son's age. If he is less than 2 months old, please see your Pediatrician.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

See answer: Vinegar douche has been used to treat Candida yeast infections, by restoring the normal acidic vaginal pH. However, douching has many undesirable consequences and unlikely to cure yeast vaginitis. Women who douche have more bacterial vaginal infections, a higher incidence of PID, more difficulty getting pregnant. SEE &gt; http://wb.md/1RIByhY and http://wb.md/1jTeuzk

Question 7

my daughter drinks vinegar like it's water. is that dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Vinegar: Drinking vinegar is not recommended because it can make the body too acidic, cause caustic burns ot the esophagus and stomach, and can erode tooth enamel

Question 8

i accidentally gave my son vinegar water in his bottles today. i was descaling our kettle and stepped away forgot to rinse it and started using it as his bottle water. i feel so dumb. will this harm him in anyway?

Accepted Answer

: Mixed in water, vinegar isn't harmful. Vinegar is a mild acid -- a lot less acidic than your son's natural stomach acid. Do be careful with other household cleaners and other products in the future; some could be quite dangerous. But no harm this time.

Question 9

can i use 1 spoon of rice vinegar (ingredients: water, ethanol, rice)/day in my diet when i am on accutane?

Accepted Answer

What's really in it?: It's almost certain you signed an agreement, when you started on accutane, not to drink alcohol. Keeping a promise is a matter of principle. If the "rice vinegar" is a concoction that someone makes from real ethanol as a folk medicine, you're breaking a promise. However, most "rice vinegar" has the ethanol oxidized to acetic acid. That's harmless flavor, though there's probably no health benefit.

Question 10

can drinking vinegar and water get thc out of your system?

Accepted Answer

No: THC is stored in fat cells.  Vinegar may mask THC, but it is not likely to reduce the amount.
