... no results whatsoever.

Large doses of Vitamin C (anything above 1000 mg daily) have always had the same diarrheal effect, so... guess I'll suspect the ACV, rather than coincidence, in my own case.  So, if 1+ ounces per day is the suggested baseline dose, then that may be out for me.
That, together with your concerns about efficacy, have me leaning against it as a "lifelong home remedy" supplementation, at least for GB issues.

We laymen tend to suspect that the medical *industry* (as a self-sustaining organism) is actively unfriendly to millenia-old home remedies such as green tea, cinnamon, red wine, etc -- actually rooting against them -- because of the profit incentive.  
I've seen many medical sources irritatedly dismiss promising "home remedies" (such as St. John's Wort in place of Zoloft) with "If a prescription can do the same thing, why turn to nutrition?"  Sounds exaggerated, but it's not.  I've literally seen people say that -- *all things being equal,* then the intervention keeps us in control of the patient's situation.  ... never mind "all things being equal" -- if Prozac and Zoloft have increased side effects, some sources still prefer it to St. John's Wort, even assuming equal efficacy.  Such attitudes leave the patient confused as to how much to trust the industry.
So it is instructive to note that *some individual doctors* do monitor those independent sources that are not dominated by profit motive, as you seem to do.  Ray Sahelian seems to be such a doctor?
Which is one reason that we patients value a trusted doctor so highly.  A man we trust; an institution, less so.  Dr. Oz is weird, and I don't watch him, but he comes across as less dominated by profit motive (and himself very healthy and vital), so he's got the rabid following.

the Hodge Twins joke, "we're going to sell a $29 e-book with one page.  It will say, Try it and see if it works for you."  Heh!
Your specific technical feedback on ACV, and its mechanisms, were PRECISELY what I was after, in order to make a little bit better-informed decision.  Thanks Dr.
