For those interested in the body pH, after i stopped drinking vinegar in November, my urine, became more acid at pH 5, I started drinking again, after these results, which proves, that drinking vinegar does in fact have an alkaline effect on the body, with a new litmus test showing my urine at pH6 it will rise to pH7. When all waste products are cleansed out although pH varies on a daily basis..
I thought it would be a good idea, to share some information, whereby one can see some results of drinking vinegar.
Someplace on the forum, I mentioned that i had gout for over 15 years, or up until, I had started to drink vinegar, for quite some time, I never deliberately drank it for gout, I drank it, because I enjoyed the taste, and it was a damn site much more healthier, than the coke i was guzzling, every day.
Over 30 years ago, I felt so sorry for myself, the wife had ran off, taking my kids, plus the divorce, cost more than an arm and a leg, it cost a liver too! I hit the bottle daily, whisky, gin at least a bottle a day, at weekends, it would be a crate of beer before going out at midnight, never know to this day, how I managed to keep working.
On occassions at the meetings I attended, It was obviouse that I reaked of booze. Anyway, I damaged the liver, it became fatty back in the 80's and i was quite close, to death, according to my GP.
The realisation hit me hard, and I was able to stop for 3 years, without even a smell of a beer, the abstinence, resulted in the shakes for quite some time, fitness training was probably the only thing that saved me, because even back in my drinking days, i could with no effort at all get up and run a 10 mile bash. The liver repaired itself, although not 100% around 95% and i stopped the heavy drinking altogether.
My elevated blood count dropped, to within normal levels.
For a couple of months now I had felt fatigued, and unable to complete more than a 5km run, when i am used to at least 25km, drastic drop. Being the fanatic masochist athlete that I am, I knew something was not right, I was eating a strict 1500 and 1800 calorie diet, and training 3 to 4 hours on alternate days, although I was drinking on a friday or a saturday no more than 4 cans of beer, two 11.6% and two 8% , I never always drank them all in one night, unless I was really bored, it happens.
Anyway a health screen cheack was required, after I had already been through the heart specialist, to find, that I have a beautiful heart, and it beats like music, so quitely she said, at 45 beat per minute, which I was a little shocked over, although I did know, that my training would reduce the heart beat. I had not been running for a while, and the heart should be up to at least 60, I was feeling unfit, and unhealthy, for the first time for over a year.
First hit by bronchitis, now constipation and fatigue, I decide to go the whole route a complete Health Screen Test, and after careful consideration of the results, I can see what vinegar has actually done for my health. Although I will have to have results sent before 2002, so I can prove the difference of uric acid (gout) which was way out of control, with my big toe, unable to bend over 15 years.
The cholesterol levels, I will presume to be higher before 2002, because, I was never drinking vinegar, although at this point in time I don't know, what I do know, is the results, show my Cholesterol, to be very low.
I have decided that the Fatty liver needs to be repaired again, I don't know if this is possible, although the hospital did say, that my liver is blocked with fat deposits, when the liver should filter and break down the fat with bile, and transport it through the blood, to be burnt off as fuel. No fuel no energy, no running! after the carbs have gone.
Instead, it's stored in my liver, and hence 6 inches on my waist and 10kg over weight. Over the next 3 months I hope to improve the liver, by a tonic of pure milk thistle, and I will also increase the vinegar intake, to breakdown the fatty acids, hopefully by the next blood tests, we can see a significant change in the figures.
BTW it's not only alcohol, that disrupts the liver, all toxins do, we breathe them daily, and eat them. I hope this little experiment will interest some people enough, to realise the danger of binge drinking, which most Brits tend to do.
Becuase of the liver problem, this puts me at risk of diabetes, becuase glucose cannot be metabolised, Increasing my dosage of vinegar will help here.
I have not drank vinegar on a regular basis since November and the heart test, becuase I needed to ensure it was safe to continue drinking the vinegar, the heart doctor was amazed at the cholesterol level, being in the very low risk level at my age, of 56.
I believe I can thank vinegar drinking for these results, and now, that alcohol is out of the equation, I intend to get the fat down in the liver, with vinegar and milk thistle, and will post the results in 3 months.
I'm human like the rest, and my addiction is Ice Cream liters of it, and good strong beer, at least 8%, shorts are not too often these days, because I know the liver cannot handle undiluted spirits.
Funny thing is today, in terms of social drinking, the quantities have gone through the roof!
until the liver is much better, of course i can't promise that, almost 4 months without a beer, is truly punishing,
