Through literature survey, I came across that apple cider vinegar helps in controlling arthritis and it also helps in reducing high blood pressure. The patients who are suffering from RA or HBP use to be in regular medication. In such case if they introduce cider vinegar whether that will react the medicines already used by the patients.
I would suggest that there is no reason to think there would be adverse reactions since neither of the drugs require patients to avoid vinegar. Having said that, both of the drugs that you list and apple cider vinegar are going to modify the gut microbiome. I would also suggest that the gut microbiome reactions are not well understood and will vary greatly from patient to patient possibly resulting in abdominal discomfort and other symptoms associated with gut microbiome disturbances in many patients. Lastly, I would suggest that adding unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar will improve the state of the gut microbiome in a large fraction of the population, but of course, not in all.
Thank you Dr. Reiserer. You have mentioned that in most cases both drugs as well as Cider vinegar improve gut microbiome disturbances. Will you please clear this point?. If these improve the gut microbiome disturbances what will be its effect on arthritis patients.
The available reports indicate that:
Apple cider vinegar might reduce postprandial blood glucose levels and decrease gastric emptying in people with diabetes.
Theoretically, overuse of apple cider vinegar could decrease potassium levels, increasing the risk of toxicity for cardiovascular drugs such as digoxin.
