  1. Katana, The dosage is all on the web, earthclinic. There are a large number of different recipes. I like to use it as salad dressing too, delicious! Remember it MUST be ACV with the mother i.e. unfiltered.

    But my personal dosage is as follows: I take a 1.5 litre mineral water bottle and drink about 300 ml to make space for the Apple Cider Vinegar. Add 9 Teaspoons of ACV. Sip from this bottle during the day.

    For acute situations when I feel an attack underway: Mix 6 teaspoons of ACV into a glass with dark berry juice (cranberry, pomegranate etc..) and Gulp the whole glass quickly. Take one tablet cholcicin and one 100mg Voltaren pill just in case.

    For long term use the acidicity will affect the teeth and pH balance of the body according some sources, therefore for long term use some recommend to mix baking soda until pH neutral before drinking.

    It is true that ACV is acidic but compared to the acidity of the stomach this has no consequence overall for the body. In fact if the ACV is burnt the remaining ashes will be highly Alkaline, this is the effective part of the ACV. In this forum a lot has been said about pH in the blood. It is true that the pH of the blood cannot be changed but the pH is not the interesting part. The Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is the interesting part which can be varied within a wide range using what we eat and drink.

  2. I have gout and had serious attacks before I found my cure on the earthclinic site (google it); Apple Cider Vinegar. It is not quack, as many feedbacks to the site attest to, it actually works and I do not care how the he*k it works, it just works.

    From my own research; gout is basically crystallized uric acid or some similar compound in joints caused by the blood being saturated, from my own experience (I have no medical degree) I think there are 2 types of gout attack. these occur mainly when there is a change in the body system such as hard excercise, rapid weigh loss or gain etc..;

    1. sudden increase in uric acid causing rapid crystallization on joints, in combination with movement or cooling during sleeping. Damage occur to tissue and you get swelling with resulting pain. this type of attack is usually short lasting 1 - 3 days.

    2. decrease in uric acid, causing crystals embedded for a long time in the joint tissue to start dissolving. This cause a very prolonged and painful attack as the crystals dissolve the tissue is constantly damaged. this attack can last for weeks.

    There are many people in the world with higher than normal uric acid levels in the blood who never suffer a gout attack, this is probably because there is no change in their body metabolism such as starting excercising, stopping excercising, stopping boozing, starting boozing etc..

    When I feel an attack might be coming I start immediately with Colchicine and Voltaren but this is very rarely needed nowadays. for some reason taking Apple Cider Vinegar daily (must be with the mother load) as described on the earthclinic site just stops the symptoms of the second case and my uric acid levels in the blood are back to normal when I take the Vinegar. Don't ask me how it works, it just works and it does'nt do any harm anyway to try it. Other health benefits can be noted too.

    First time I read about the cure I hurried down to Pattaya and found the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar in Villa Market. I had suffered from an attack for about a week and stumbled in, bought a bottle and mixed a big dose with Pomegranate juice. Went to a restaurant and as I sat at the table I could feel constant tingling in my big toe, after about two hours the gout was gone.

  3. I do not hate Thailand, in fact I love it. Someone asked about scams, I replied with the scams that I know of. It doesńt harm to be aware of these. Be on your guard when stopped by police or stopping at a gas station, just want to make clear some caution is required when travelling in a country where people in some regions are less law abiding than in other regions. common sense.

    these things has actually happened as explained by me by my Thai friends.

  4. And the worst scam of them all is this one:

    When I get to my parked car after shopping I find these beautiful young girls standing at the car waiting. They say the like me very much and as I enter the car they go in too and starts undressing.

    After half an hour or so they dress again and goes. It is just after this that I find that my wallet is missing.

    This happened to me 2 weeks ago,

    And on Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday last week.

  5. A small list of a few of the more serious kind of scams:

    1. You drive your car and is stopped by a police who slips a small bag of yabaa thru your open window without you noticing. You leave and are again stopped further down the road at a checkpoint. Police immediately discovers the bag and you are taken into jail until you pay ransom around 80,000 Baht.

    2. At a gas station the attendant slips same bag behind the lid cover of your gas tank nozzle, police stops you and same procedure as in item 1.

    3. Someone sticks a hole in your radiator at the gas station when your car is unattended. Later on the road you have to stop for overheating and a few helpful guys pulls up to help you with your money problem.

    4. At a gas station on your way out into the traffic, a crappy old car suddenly accelerates from a parked position nearby inside the gas station right up in front of you. If you are not very quick you collide and because you ran into him you are in the wrong. and of course calling police will not help as they are in on it and you are just a farang anyway. Nobody of the gas station staff gives a rat as they also get a commission.

  6. I would like to offer my effort of help; while looking for the best treatment/diagnosis it would be good to already start thinking of treatment. Please google "budwig diet". Dr Budwig was a many times noble price nominee who developed a unique approach to treating cancer that actually worked, she cured thousands of patients over the years with her very simple natural diet.

    she was vehemntly against radiation treatment and often cured patients who had been sent home to die from the medical establishment.

    The ingredients to the diet is simple, low fat cottage cheese and flax seed oil. cottage cheese you can buy in foodland as well as whole flax seeds, oil is not available anywhere I searched so one must make the oil in the kitchen using a seed oil extractor, often this machine is a combination of juicer and seed exctractor. It is a healthy diet and it doesńt do any harm to try it out, there are only benefits. A word of caution, eating the seed whole grinded can be done but I found I got allergic reactions from this, this I think is why Dr Budwig used only the oil in her recipe.

    Of course I am not saying the doctors treatment should be replaced but it cannot do any harm to try any alternatives in paralell.

  7. I would waarmly recommend the web site earthclinic. It is about folk remedies and it really works from my personal experience. My favorite is Apple Cider Vinegar which seems in my case to be able to cure almost anything from gout to common colds. Of course every condition is very individual and it depends very much on the overall body condition how to treat each individual. The site rates the different remedies in how much positive feedback (i.e. "it worked") it gets from people around the world who try the remedies. A few years back I got problems with cronically congested nose and after some deep thinking I realized I was biking to work and I got allergic reactions to the road dust, so I solved the problem by using a face mask while biking and it helped. Maybe something similar in your case?

    The most popular recipe for congested sinuses I could find on Earthclininc is following (have'nt tried it myself)

    Recipe:

    Add 1 cup tomato juice,

    1 tsp chopped fresh garlic,

    1/2 tsp of hot sauce,

    1 tsp lemon juice,

    and a pinch or two of celery salt for flavor. Heat ingredients and drink hot."

    I think "hot sauce" can be chilli powder or Tabasco.

    I have also tried two teaspoons of chilli powder in a big tea cup heated water; chilli powder tea, it worked but boy was it hot, drink slowly with water bottle in hand.

  8. I would like to add some more little scams I know of.

    1. Police stops you and drops a small bag of narcotics inside the car door before letting you go, a few km later another police waits to discover the bag.

    2. Gas station attendant puts same little bag inside the cover lid of your gas tank which is then discovered in a police check point a bit down the road.

    3. At a gas station, while you are shopping or in the restroom, someone makes a hole in your radiator, a few miles later you must stop and up comes a gang of "helpers".

    4. When you go to jail, by paying about 500 Baht/day you can get personal acomodation or at least better than the 4x4 stinkhole, Now you chances of getting out decreases as you presence generates income for the officers, brilliant right?

  9. Thai people think 80% with emotion, loyalties towards family, friends and the local feudal mafia king makes concepts of right and wrong very muddled. Loyalties always win. There are no clear rules, even if the law says something it is more often feelings that governs how people decide what is right and wrong. For example some rich guys kills innocent bystanders in a Benz car rage, the degree of punishment is decided from how deep he prostrates and apologizes to the victims family and how much money is provided. A few tears allways helps too. Had it been a bus driver he would have fled the scene and never been found again. drunken construction workers rapes some westerner and gets a few years in jail while a diabolic farang who tries to smuggle drugs will be executed or imprisoned for life.

  10. Villa Market? They stock it in the Pattaya store, so I guess it would be in the Bangkok one.

    Just as an aside, I have taken flaxseed oil before, but (after looking at facts) now consider it to be unhealthy to take in fats like this, worth checking sites like which seriously undermine the health claims for things like flaxseed.

    :)

    I still believe it is healthy and a lot of scientific data says the same. Thanks for your awnser ill look there.

    Flax seed oil as used by Dr. Johanna Budwig (Noble Prize Nominee) together with cottage cheese cures cancer, and this is not an urban legend, it is just the truth. Google Budwig for more info. it is very important that the linseed oil is used freshly extracted not refined in any way.

  11. Hi, it seems all who answered the original post did not read past the salt issue. As I myself have been looking for Blackstrap Molasses and finally found it, I would like to share this info.

    I first looked in Villa Market in Pattaya, they only have Grandmas Molasses which is not blackstrap (molasses is after the first cooking, blackstrap is after the third cooking).

    I went to Foodland but they did not have any molasses. Then I checked Central, no luck there either.

    So I finally went to Friendship market on Pattaya South road, As there seems to be several small supermarkets named "Friendship" in Pattaya, this one is located just after South road and third road crossing; coming from Sukumvit it is on the left side of the road. (There are three main roads leading from Sukumvit to Beach road, North, Central and South roads or Nua, Klang and Tai).

    As I have never been in this store and it looks like a chinese tempel or something from the outside, I was expecting it to be a chinese thing with dried tiger balls, deer horn powder, Dried Yak liver and stuff like that. I was very surprised to see that it was in fact a copy of Foodland but with slighly cheaper items and less selection.

    After searching the store several times I finally found Blackstrap molasses hidden among the Honey Jars. It is difficult to find so search carefully and on the front of the jar it just says "Molasses". You have to turn the jar to see the side where it says "Blackstrap Molasses".

    Its imported from Australia. Strange because as I understand Thailand is one of the bigger exporters of Molasses.
