I found this earthclinic site about 2 weeks ago so when I ate some of an Omellette that was too old I got food poisoning. I had been in the bathroom for about 20 minutes before I felt good enough to go back to the bedroom and get onto this site. My gut hurt my breathing was fourced and through my mouth. I wanted to throw up and pass waste at the same time. I was feeling a little faint also. I looked up "food poisoning" and got the ACV Cure listed. I already had some Apple Cider vinegar from our local Health Food Store. The ACV I had was ___________. I took 2 Tablespoons by sipping it. That did not hurt my throat. Then I mixed about 1/4 tablespoon of Baking soda and 1/2 glass of water and swished it in my mouth to keep the enamle on my teeth from being affected by the ACV that I drank. Within 5 munutes I was feeling better. I did throw up then. Within 15 minutes I felt much better. I could breath normaly again and the cramping was greatly reduced. In 30 minutes I was basically fine. I have had food poisoning 2 times before this and I was misarable for hours each time. This site is a Godsend. Thank you so much.

I was at the toilet just about on an hourly basis for six days straight, after having received what I believe to be salmonella poisoning from eggs at a restaurant. I had not taken any OTC medications as I would rather my body run its natural course towards healing. I finally decided to try something and came across the Apple Cider Vinegar remedy (still shunning OTC meds). After reading through all the testimonials, I knew it would work. I took it yesterday.wow, that was about the nastiest stuff I have ever tasted.it took all of my concentration to keep from vomiting it back up...definately did not taste like apples or cider...but it worked! I have only had to go to the bathroom once since I took it (about 24 hours ago) and my stools are already getting back to normal. Thanks so much earth clinic!!. (P.S. {for you analytical bunch like myself} you might be thinking that I got better because I believed the ACV would work.you are probably half-right! A strong combination of faith and facts always seems to lead to results!)

I came accross your website while in intense pain from salmonella poisoning I got over the Memorial Day weekend. My GI system is extremely sensitive, so I've had it before and know it lasts 4-5 days and all doctors say is "your body is riding itself of the virus; you have to let it run its course" which means pain, cramping, and trips to the bathroom every 10 minutes for days! I came accross your remedy of 2 tablespoons of ACV and my husband rushed to the store. I was extremely skeptical and thought maybe this was a cruel joke to get people to drink this stuff- the smell alone will make you gag. In complete misery I decided I had nothing to lose so I mixed the 2 tblsp of ACV with 1 tblsp honey in a cup of hot water (not too hot to drink), held my nose (so you don't taste it), and gulped away. Before I unplugged my nose I rinsed my mouth out with cool water without swallowing any. It wasn't that bad but did burn a little going down and have a bit of a yucky aftertaste. Within 15 minutes my pains were gone and I didn't make a single trip to the bathroom again that evening! I slept great and woke up perfectly fine, ate my usual breakfast and am back at work. THANK YOU! I can't believe more people don't know about this. I guess it would put pepto bismol out of business (and ACV is sooo much cheaper too!). Thanks again!!!! It really works!

First, one point must be made. Apple Cider Vinegar kills every germ, bacteria, and virus ON CONTACT!!!So if you travel into a foreign country where the water might not be the healthiest, and consuming the food there might also be seriously questionable, take a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar before ingesting any food. If you do develop food poisoning from food or water, throw down just one tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and within a short time the miseries will be gone. Too strong to just gulp it down? Take a cup of very hot water and add one tablespoon of honey and add to it three tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar. Stir until the honey is dissolved, then add a little cool water so you do not burn your mouth, and drink it. For a sore throat - make the same mixture of hot water, honey and cider vinegar, and then SIP - DO NOT GULP IT DOWN. The sore throat will be gone overnight, because every time you SIP the mixture, it washes down your throat and kills more and more of the infection. At first you will feel the sting of it working, but quickly that goes away and the throat begins to feel much, much better. For a good and sound night's sleep? Slowly drink the mixture and go to bed. Why? Your chemistry is different between first thing in the morning and at bedtime, so at night the drink will help you achieve a peaceful and sound sleep, and then in the morning drink it and it will give you a shot of energy! I hope all this helps someone. It has helped me for the past fifteen years.

So i went to a charity event and they had diner there for us. I at at about 5 and i was awake by 3:30am so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. no matter how I was laying down my stomach was is PAIN. So I tried to use the toilet to feel better but that didn't work. So I searched for at home remedies. Well Hello ACV!!!! What a great one! I have a bad gag reflex so after one shot of this it basically all came back up, but it's about a half hour later and I feel better already.

My boyfriend had food poisoning and had terrible stomach pain. I searched the internet and found your site. I went to the store got some acv and gave him a shot of 2 tbl. After 2 minutes he was throwing up. But said he did feel better. About an hour later I gave him another shot, he fell asleep within 25 mins and woke up feeling great!! It really works.

Apple cider vinegar for food poising apsolutely works and fast. My 16 year old daughter had stomach cramps, throwing up and diarrhea I recalled reading about acv on your website. I gave her 2 tablespoons of acv and a glass of water and in less than 30 minutes all symptoms had stopped. Yesterday we had gone out to eat and about 3 hours later I could feel something wasn't right. I had such sharp pains in my abdomen that I can only compare them to labor contractions. They were that bad. Then came the diarrhea, right away I took 2 tbls of acv and it worked. Everything was back to normal and slept like a baby.

My 20 year old daughter called me from college around 11:00 pm and told me her boyfriend had eaten fast food chicken earlier that evening. He had been throwing up for over an hour and figured he had food poisoning. She asked me what to do. I immediately surfed the web while she drove to his home. This website was the second one I read and I told her about the apple cider vinegar. She stopped at the grocery store and while still on the phone with her, I read some of everyone's experiences. She bought the apple cider vinegar, had him drink 3 tablespoons, and he felt better almost immediately, but most importanly his vomitting subsided after 1 1/2 hours of nonstop. I talked to her about 1:00 am and said he had been asleep for over 30 minutes. She sounded relieved having already lived this experience herself with a hospital visit. We were both amazed that the apple cider vinegar cured his food poisoning! Said she'd call me tomorrow. It's 11:30 am now and have not heard from her so I imagine he's ok now. WOW! I'm buying apple cider vinegar for my medicine cabinet!

My boyfriend has been visiting the bathroom non-stop for almost 24 hours now. I started looking on the internet for 'food poisoning cures' and we came upon your website and the apple cider vinegar. I then pop out to buy a bottle and after much consideration (and reading through all your 'Yea' comments), he decided to take it. At the dinner table, in front of a bowl of congee (which is porridge, but cooked with rice insteal of oatmeal), he downs the recommended dosage of two tablespoons and reaches for his cup of water when...he violently spits out the water and vomits all over the table and into the congee. I see him dash to the bathroom then hear him retching his poor, little body to death. He's now resting in bed, but I'm not sure if it's worked or not. We plan on visitng the ER later! Thanks for all your help!

I'm so happy that I chanced upon your website. Yesterday was the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday here in Seoul. I'd gotten lazy and just reheated some leftovers because I was going to visit a friend who was set to move to China today. The visit went fine and I made it home okay, but about 4 hours after eating, I got horribly sick.

I threw up and thought that was the last of it. However, since I am an insulin dependent diabetic, I was concerned about how it might affect my blood glucose level. I drank some grape juice and went to sleep. I woke up an hour or two later unable to keep the juice down and threw that up. Hmmmmm. Okay, now I'm concerned about dehydration, so I drank a cup of water and went back to sleep. After an hour or so the same thing happens again and that was just frightening to me. I couldn't keep down water!

I ran a search and found your page on food poisoning and the ACV remedy. I figured why not as I was headed straight to the emergency room if I kept being unable to hold anything, including water, down.

I drank maybe two tablespoons full of double strength ACV (it's all I had.) I immediately felt better. I went back to sleep and woke a couple of hours later feeling pretty good. I figured I'd drink a bit more and go back to sleep. I slept well again with no vomiting. In the morning when I woke up I figured I'd top off my ACV doses with another. This time however I did throw up. I figured that was okay since one of the commentators said that happened to them too. I mean maybe it was the last purge of bacteria?

Anyway, I called my nurse in the morning. She recommended a sports drink, Pocari Sweat, to replace lost electrolytes. After that last ACV purge I slept like a baby again. I really do think the ACV and that last purge in the morning is what kept me from having to go to the doctor today. I'll definitely use this as a remedy in the future. Thanks.

I use ACV but if I try to drink it straight, and then try to take a breath of air afterwards, it takes my breath away, I have to dilute it a little.

Late last night both my partner and I realized we had food poisoning from take away cooked chicken. we both had stomach cramps, nausea, dizziness and one of us on the floor of the bathroom retching while the other waited for the loo with diarrhea - what a scene! Managed to get to the computer and check google, found your site apple cider remedy - so we both went for it - yuck, but it worked. Both got a night's sleep - cramps wore off and feel ok today, just tired. Thanks heaps.

I had food poisioning last night it came on emidiatley after I finished my dinner of chicken and swiss chard. I was OK within an hour after sipping a cap full of ACV in a small glass of water. I have been drinking ACV for 2 years now in a cup of warm water with a cap full of ACV, I drink it all day long everyday. Once in the begining I made the mistake of drinking it straight, which burned and gave me heartburn.

To all thoes people who gag at ACV, don't drink it straight have it as a tea even add some lemon and honey it will taste just like lemon tea. I have asked my dentist if my teeth enamel is ok and he always confirms it's ok. I never have plain water after.

Came home from a long days work on friday [1/5] and resigned myself to eating some chinese food in the fridge - it had been in the fridge for 3 days. Well I downed the food with a harp's brew. Went to sleep at 12am. By 3am I was UP. Oh man. What followed was hours of mediation between the bathroom and bedroom as I pleaded for some higher power to let go of me and move on the next mope. At around 2pm [1/6], I went online and started looking..searching...then I stumbled on this site. What did I have to lose?...U tell me lol. After more bouts with the inner demons ripping my poor tummy to shreds, I was able to head to the store to pick up a bottle of apple cider vinegar. I couldn't find a teaspoon as I left the house so I took a small plastic cup. Well I poured myself a shot size of vinegar while still in the parking lot. By 5:30pm, I was in bed praying and hoping this would be the last. It is now 6:35am [1/7]..after a long night of sleeping. I woke up to feeling quite better. THANKS!!!!! Never again with left over chinese food. The ACV is sitting in the fridge. Yesterday was almost 70degrees in JANUARY and I missed it. Ohh well. At least I'm ready to tackle the work week.

Was vomiting violently for eight hours straight. Was told to try the acv and did (2 tbs acv). stayed down only about a minute. Threw it up and that was the end of it, literally. I had never heard of it before. Made a believer out of me. Just wish I was told about it eight hours earlier!
