Apple cider vinegar is often touted as a cure all. But is this really the case? Or are these claims overstated?

Actually, I think it all depends upon whom you ask. Some people report amazing results with a daily dose of apple cider vinegar. They say it relieves chronic pain and gives them more energy.

Others don’t see any difference when they use apple cider vinegar as a medicine. I fall into that camp. Apple cider vinegar doesn’t seem to do anything good for me. I will use it in homemade salad dressing. But I don’t consider it worthy of my natural medicine cabinet.

However, I’m not saying this natural remedy won’t help anyone else. The fact that other people think it’s amazing just goes to show that we’re all different. What works for one person may not work for another.

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Cure Fibromyalgia?

I often see various ideas thrown around as “cures” for fibromyalgia. As someone who’s lived with chronic pain for more than a decade, I think these claims are overly optimistic, at best.

Although I know it’s possible to manage your symptoms, so that pain no longer rules your day, I don’t know of any such “miracle cure” for fibromyalgia. What I’ve found is that some natural remedies work well for me. They offer temporary relief. Eventually, they stop working and I need to try something else.

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Work for Fibromyalgia?

That’s why I highly doubt a single remedy, such as apple cider vinegar, will lead to a cure. Especially in my case. My own symptoms were so severe I could barely walk. In order to heal, I had to search for the root causes of my condition, and eradicate them. This took years. It took many natural remedies and it took a total lifestyle overhaul.

Saying that apple cider vinegar is a cure for fibromyalgia is something that sounds too good to be true. Because it is. It’s highly unlikely that a single remedy, such as this, will cure a case of longstanding chronic pain.

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Help Fibromyalgia?

Okay, now we’re on the same page. Apple cider vinegar may very well help some people with chronic pain. I’m not a doctor or a medical professional. But I’ve used natural remedies long enough to know that they work better for some people than for others.

For instance, turmeric is highly regarded as a natural pain remedy. But it does nothing for me. (So it has about the same effect as apple cider vinegar.) However, this doesn’t mean someone else shouldn’t take turmeric. That’s because it might work for them.

In fact, I know turmeric is an excellent natural pain remedy, for the right people. That’s why I think it’s very worthwhile to regularly mention turmeric on my Facebook page, named Natural Fibro Club. I know it can potentially help a number of my followers. (Follow my page if you want regular tips of managing chronic pain naturally.)

Is Apple Cider Vinegar Good for Fibromyalgia?

Raw apple cider vinegar is considered a very healthy food. And it’s believed to have a number of potential health benefits. But, because it doesn’t decrease my pain, or increase my energy, I use apple cider vinegar as a food, and not as a medicine. So I always have organic apple cider vinegar in my kitchen cabinet, and not in my medicine cabinet.

Among its many potential benefits, apple cider vinegar appears to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, help with weight loss and help your body with detoxification, according to Dr. Josh Axe, DC, one of the online natural health experts I follow.

Apple cider vinegar is also supposed to be a good hair conditioner too. But I can’t recommend it. I used it once and it made my hair dry and brittle. Another example of how we’re all different.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Fibromyalgia

If you suffer from chronic pain, and you’re looking for natural solutions, you’ve probably already heard about apple cider vinegar. Since it is a healthy food, you can also assume it contains compounds to help reduce inflammation. (Just about any plant based medicine is a natural inflammation reducer.)

People in pain also suffer from chronic inflammation. So reducing inflammation is one of the keys to feeling better. Whether apple cider vinegar can help you achieve that is something you probably have to try for yourself. I know others have reported good results.

I wanted to find a study on apple cider vinegar and fibromyalgia. But I couldn’t. However, I should point out that this fermented food has been used medicinally for ages. So it does stand the test of time. If you use apple cider vinegar, remember to:

• Buy organic apple cider vinegar that contains “the mother.” This is the cloudy stuff that floats around, which contains health-promoting enzymes.
• Don’t drink it without watering it down. That’s because apple cider vinegar is hard on the tooth enamel. So drink it with water to protect your teeth.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and Fibromyalgia

I hope you get lucky and see great results with apple cider vinegar. In my own healing, I had to use a wide range of natural remedies and healing methods. (Throw everything at it and see what sticks.) My body needed multiple healing methods. You can read about everything I did in my easy-to-follow video course.
