I have been taking apple cider vinegar for the past few days, drinking a tsp or so in water several times a day. I seem to be herxing from it. Today I was totally fatigued and slept all afternoon. I still feel exhausted. Has anyone else herxed from ACV? Is this not recommended for Lyme? Thanks

I seem to herx with a lot of things.....xylitol, magnesium, moducare.

Is it raw ACV, such as Bragg? That's best to use. I wouldn't think magnesium would cause you to herx since it isn't killing off anything as far as I know.

Yes, it's Bragg's.

This is what I found about magnesium ......Because increasing magnesium levels in the body can cause significant herx reactions as the immune system is strengthened and activated, the dose of magnesium should be started low and worked up. You might find it difficult to believe, that simply supplementing with magnesium can cause herx reactions, but it can.

Interesting. I've never felt anything but muscles relaxing from magnesium, making me feel better. I'm not saying I don't believe you. I just need to read more! :) There's always something new to learn as more becomes known about over the years.

I have very tight muscles, especially in my neck and would love to take magnesium. I got chest pressure back (one of my herx symptoms) that had been gone for months when I tried to take magnesium. Moducare also regulates the immune system and the same thing happens.

Do you think a topical one would do the same thing to you?

dmw - I herxed with ACV - I also have candida.

Just found this comment from Dr Cowden, "One way to reduce biofilms is through the use of apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar." Dr Chandra also said, "Brown rice or apple cider vinegar can be useful therapeutic options for the treatment of biofilms."

Garden Peace, I tried topical magnesium but it didn't really find it did anything.

Interesting article. Thank you for sharing it.

That's too bad the topical didn't help you. Sometimes it will help me and other times it won't.

Unfortunately. ACV gives me canker sores if I use it very often. I'd have to experiment to see how often I could use it without getting canker sores.
