[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I'd like to add....

no one has ever died from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar.  BUT, if you gave a child a pharmaceutical antifungal, like diflucan, there are risks of severe liver damage.  THAT is scary for a young child.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is safe, natural, and effective.  I cannot, for the life of me, find anything online that says that it is unsafe.  BUT, if you look up chelation that has been administered by medical doctors who use pharmaceuticals for chelation, then YES it is very scary.

I see a common theme here.  Anyone else?[/quote]

WebMD said that ALA is not recommended for children given the lack of evidence about it's safety.  Also, it is used mainly as an alternative treatment for neuropathy.

Apple Cider Vinegar does have health risks according to WebMD.

I took note of the final sentences in the ACV article that I think is very fitting here:

Right now, there is not enough evidence that apple cider vinegar -- or any vinegar -- has any health benefit for any condition. Since the benefits are unknown, so are the risks.

If you're thinking about trying apple cider vinegar, talk to your doctor first. It's always worth getting an expert's advice. Your doctor can also make sure that the apple cider vinegar won't affect other health conditions or the effectiveness of the medicines you take. [b]Trying to control a serious medical condition on your own with an unproven treatment is both unwise and dangerous.
