Dr. Barry Neuman
DDS told me last month that after drinking 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
twice a day for about a week that he had a colonic cleanse and hundreds
of dead parasites could be seen in the discharge water. Dr. Neumann stated
that over the past several years he has tried most of the available treatments
to kill parasites but found none worked as good as vinegar. He can be
reached at 505-323-2129 for more information.

Vinegar - Monotherapy blues
Mark Konlee
Searching to find
a low-cost breakthrough for treating HIV/AIDS is like country dancing.
It is two steps forward and one step backward and not always in that order.
In the current issue of Positive Health News, I had high hopes for vinegar
becoming a low-cost monotherapy breakthrough. That it is low-cost is unquestionable;
that it is a monotherapy breakthrough is now doubtful.
Within the past month,
Fred H, Marie NaVeaux and Norman have all reported no change in either
the viral load count or CD4 counts even after using a high dose of 2 tablespoon
of apple cider vinegar 3 to 4 times a day for 2 to 4 weeks. This news
was disappointing, especially after two earlier reports from Stephen N
and Richard M who reported reaching non-detectable viral loads with vinegar
using 2 tablespoon 4 times a day or in the case of Richard using 4 vinegar
tablets 4 times a day. One consistent observation in the 5 vinegar monotherapy
cases (2 at low dose and 3 at a higher dose) is that all five persons
reported sinking stools. These observations (stools that sink) have been
linked to a deficiency of bifido bacteria in the large intestines and
thus an alkaline environment in the colon that creates a favorable pH
environment for HIV and other unfriendly flora to replicate. Since 1993,
we have observed that persons who have stools that float on water have
stable CD4 Helper cell counts or are on the increase. Some of the persons
who have used vinegar and reported viral loads declining have also reported
that the vinegar helped restore normal floaters.
It is still evident
that the pharmaceutical drugs used to treat HIV are far more effective
than any alternative low-cost treatments presently being used, even though
the drugs are often accompanied by side effects and sometimes viral resistance.
However, the present setback will not deter our efforts to find a low-cost
treatment breakthrough that is needed now more than ever in the poorer
nations.
In spite of the current
disappointment with vinegar monotherapy, vinegar combined with drug cocktails
has produced positive results in several cases including CD4 increases
and viral load declines (some to non-detectable level such as tomkara@windo.missouri.org)
and a resolution of chronic diarrhoea in 3 cases. Persons with CFIDS have
reported resolution of stomach discomfort and increased energy.
Vinegar
Update
(about
half are reporting benefits)
Mark Konlee
Two more persons trying
2 tbs. 3 times daily of cider vinegar reported no change in their HIV
viral load but a third person did report a drop from 1 million to 300,000
in the PCR viral test for HIV and an increase in CD4 counts from 100 to
120 after using vinegar as a monotherapy for 30 days. Another person with
severe Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) tried the cider vinegar 3 times a day
and reported immediate relief from all the symptoms that have bothered
him for the past 2 years. So far, about half the people are reporting
some kinds of benefits from the use of vinegar and the other half say
it made no difference.
