My hot flashes have been gone since September 4 thanks to...

Well, I'm still taking Bragg acv, and all is well.

I'm still taking Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, and it's still working well for me.


I hope everyone is doing well.

Today is the anniversary of my hysterectomy (eight years). Still one of the best decisions I've made.

Glad it is still working for you.

I too take the apple cider vinegar (braggs)...I do not have any hot flashes....Before my hysterectomy, i was on a low dose of blood pressure medicine.....since i have been home from the hospital, i have not had to take the bp meds at all...I am drinking the braggs vinegar everyday..I mix 2-3 tsp in cran apple juice...it taste wonderful that way!!

Sounds interesting and I like the holisitc approach. My hot flashes were so bad that it kept me from sleeping then I was exhausted and it was a downward spiral. My doctor put me on Gabapentin. I am sleeping much better and feel like I have more energy.

I must give this apple cider vinegar a go.
I have been using Soya milk substitute, Evening Primrose and Menopace, as well as clonodine hyydroxide.
Each of these seemed to help a bit, but only by reducing the duration, not stopping them completely.

Flax seeds was another of the "plant based estrogen" foods suggested to me.

If I can't get the Braggs in the UK, I will try a similar ACV.
Thanks for the advice

can anyone explain what is it that makes this stuff work?

Thanks.

I know that what makes Bragg's different is that it is not filtered, and still has what they call "mother of vinegar" in it so it looks cloudy. I also know you should always dilute it in water or juice because it is acidic enough to etch your tooth enamel and burn the lining of your esophagus.

I've read accounts from people that say this stuff will cure whatever ails you from helping to lose weight, to lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics, to curing gingivitis, arthritis, and just about anything else you could name. But what makes it "work" seems to be a medical mystery. I had begun to take it at one point to help with the blood sugar thing, and I know my blood sugars did go down, but I just couldn't get in the habit of taking the stuff. No matter what or how I mixed it, my gag reflex kicked in every time.
