Coconut oil and apple cider vinegar internally?

Question

I started ingesting both coconut oil (3x tablespoons a day at first, then noticed my face was getting awfully greasy so went down to 2x tablespoons a day). I also ingest Apple Cider Vinegar (3x a day; 2 tbsp in 8oz. water), but anyway, I have noticed my acne isn't getting any better even though I take the ACV daily, and I've lowered the amount of coconut oil I take. It's not bad at all, a few flare ups here and there.. but I want it gone. Should I lower the amount of Coconut oil I'm taking, or just stop taking it internally?

Answer 1

I take both at times as well. Are you talking the extra virgan coconut oil and the raw organic apple cider vinegar. If you are not taking the organic version this might be why you are having problems.

Answer 2

I take coconut oil, flax oil, fish oil, and eat lots of raw butter, and my face is acne free!

Coconut oil can not cause acne.

What you need to do is Apply the coconut oil topically.

You can also try Honey[kills bacteria, some honey can even kill MRSA!] or Tea Tree Oil.

Acne is often cause by diet,..

Add Acidopholus, Fish Oil/ Omega 3's, Lots of water

Cut out sugar

Be careful of that much Apple Cider Vinegar it is very acidic and over time can your acidity level go up.

You may want to look into taking baking soda with it to counter the vinegar.

And make sure you are using a good brand like Braggs. Cheap grocery store brands are much more acidic than the good stuff.

Answer 3

Are you taking them for a reason? for acne?

Try applying the apple cider vinegar topically.
