This is the 3rd time I've tried to get restarted on taking this. I put one capful in a cup of water and I don't think I've had 6 sips of it and I get flushed, hot and sweaty. My low grade fever went from 99.3 to 99.8 and my blood oxygen 93 to 91 since drinking. The blood oxygen has to be a coincidence.
All I've done during this is sit at the computer.

Do others have body heat up episodes on the mother? Is there an alternative I can try?

Also, I took my first drop of JK last evening and ended up with stomach cramps all night, even after taking 2 charcaps 3 hours later. I didn't actually take the Knotweed with a meal, but I was munching on crackers which usually keeps my stomach settled. Recommend a good food to take with it to avoid the cramping?

It's possible that you have a yeast and/or fungal issue, and the ACV is good at helping treat that.

According to Buhner's 2nd edition of Healing Lyme (pg 339):
"*Other occasional (and rare) side effects are primarily gastrointestinal in nature: dry mouth, bitter taste in mouth, Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea."

Considering that JK is antibacterial, antiviral, antischistosomal (for blood flukes), antispirochetal, Immunostimulant, Immunomodulant, and so much more - it's hard to know why you responded that way, but I would encourage you to only use it in the middle of a meal next time to see if that helps.

Perhaps I should take the acv and knotweed close together so that the binder can clear out all the issues at once? But not until I remove unpleasant side affects from the knotweed first.

Taking the kw in the middle of a meal, duly noted. I'll try to make it small one in the evening tonight, and take the binder before bed like I did last night and see if that helps. I'll add a foot soak too. I may just need to get used to it.


Thanks Traveler.

July there are members on the forum that cannot take Japanese Knotweed for one reason or another. Me? I could drink a gallon and not be affected. But, there are instances of it not being right for some people.

Apple cider vinegar is not imperative to be ingested either.

Things sometimes are giving you hints that you should not take them. There are many other alternatives to ACV. Just do lemon water and if that doesn't work, good ole plain water is awesome.

There are too many other detox items you can try that you should not be feeling badly by this one.

ACV lowers blood pressure, maybe that is the reason why you feel bad?

That is the one thing I didn't check, it was higher than normal this morning. I didn't check it after. I wouldn't know if it's the acv doing it anyway, I take blood pressure medicines and chf meds daily already.

The Mother makes me feel burning hot inside my skin, sweaty and that 'weighted down' lethargic. This is the first time I'd felt like that since I quit taking it and was surprised to have that reaction with the temps outside cooler than they were.

I'm glad to hear my lemon water will work just as well, I almost live on it and can tell when I run out of lemons and my body is missing it.

I would like to go back to having my little spiced up drinks of my regular acv without the mother, it helped clear the sinus drainage out of my head in the mornings.

I'm always torn about discontinuing things that make me feel badly, knowing that if It's getting rid of some of the crud inside, feeling bad in the short term is something that has to be put up with.

I'm sure many of us have to debate the same thing..

yes, I know what you mean and I feel the same way. Even though it makes damage, you don't wanna stop because you think it helps with Lyme.

I don't use ACV anymore because I get severe stomach pain.You can use lemon water as a good substitute.

Thank you blueberrymuffin, that's a relief to hear from more than one or two people.

How funny is it that I have the mindset that something I enjoy so much can't be all that beneficial for me, lol.

I love my lemon water.
