Bad nausea, reflux and heart burn during week 12/13 and then...

I have been having bad nausea, reflux and heart burn during week 12/13 and then I remembered apple cider vinegar.
Yesterday I thought I would just put a little bit in my water bottle since I am thirsty all the time anyway to help with the heart burn and the reflux.
After at least a week of having to sleep on my pillow with my tri pillow above to give the height so I could sleep without my throat burning. I felt comfortable enough to sleep on just my pillow with no reflux and just minor heart burn which I believe will be gone by tonight.
Not just that the nausea dissipated to a more comfortable level, after doing some investigation I believe it might be due to the vitamin b6 in the apple cider vinegar.

Hopefully this keeps working for the rest of my pregnancy :-) (crossing fingers and wish I tried this out months ago)

this one needs a disclaimer again

disclaimer - these are just ramblings of a pregnant woman on thoughts of skin cancer, I am not a doctor, this is not really my area of interest either although our family seems awfully prone to skin cancer. And last part of disclaimer is that I don't know if this theory has already been proposed.

okay here goes -
As far as I am aware skin cancer is our body incorrectly replicating bad skin tissue (like skin that has been out in the sun too long or moles) and also not knowing when and where to stop. My question is if the skin has been completely burnt so there is no partially damaged tissue, can cancer thrive there? And if it can't why can't we find a way to look over the body for these partially damaged tissue and remove it to create good skin tissue that will replicate correctly again?
I came up with the idea when thinking about the fact that women while pregnant have longer strong hair and nails, everything is growing again and this could encourage cancer growth (I will have to find some reference to it)*"Women who have exposed themselves to UV radiation a lot prior to becoming pregnant need to protect themselves from further exposure when pregnant because they are more at risk of harm to themselves and their unborn baby." *from http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/pregnancy-birth/pregnancy/tanning/and-sunbathing.html , the opposite of what I saw on this cute old couple in a documentary on Chernobyl where they were thriving on their farm well within the no go zone with lots of radiation around them, because the only cells that older people would be growing in abundance would be cancer cells this couple seemed quite healthy (the opposite of what you would think should be the case). *"Interior: Lizm sitting on a bed
Lizm: The old people who didn't get the radiation live to be 80 or 90. But people our age, 35, 40, they're dying right and left, and always from cancer. "
* from http://www.wentz.net/radiate/cheyla/narrat.html
Well if anyone would or has done an experiment to this end I would be really interested in hearing how it went/ is going.

Thanks :-) for listening to my rantings again.
