[YEA]  12/08/2009: Marianne from Fayetteville, Arkansas: "My old dog has been plagued with some sort of skin problem for years.The constant biting, scratching, licking have nearly driven me out of my mind. I was doing everything the Vet said, plus gentle baths, brushing, washing her bed lenin in special soaps. Then on Sunday I tried Apple Cider Vinegar. I used about 1/2 cup to a large glass of water. I poured it on her hips, tail area, upper and lower back. I noticed that she calmed down almost immediately. I have done the same thing on Monday and today, Tuesday. The dog is calm, sleeping and "thanking" me. I know she is saying, "Thanks, you finally got something to kill those mites on me."

[NAY]  11/20/2009: Theo from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: "Apple Cider Vinegar for Hay Fever:

This didn't work for me. All of last year I took ACV every night in hopes that I would beat my hay fever in the summer. Unfortunately, when summer came this year, my hay fever was just as bad as ever."

[YEA]  08/18/2009: Bg from Sacramento, Ca: "I wasn't even looking for a sinus remedy. I tried ACV with honey because it was supposed to alleviate joint pain. I have had allergies most of my adult life and can never breathe through my nose. My allergies are to dust and everyday allergens, not seasonal. Without even expecting this effect, I immediately noticed I could breathe through nose after taking ACV. The first day it only lasted for about an hour. The second day I didn't keep track. After skipping the third day, today my sinuses have been clear for more than 6 hours. It also clears my head and makes me able to think more clearly, something I've noticed comes along with allergies. Anyway, I still have joint pain, but this is great for sinus problems and doesn't taste too bad."

[SIDE EFFECTS]  07/29/2009: Bobo from Manama, Bahrain: "Dear All, I was surfing the internet to find out if there are any natural remedies for nasal allergy. I have been suffering from this for almost 6 years and I feel terrible most of the days with blocked nose, sneezing, ear itches, head aches. I was very happy to find that ACV cures allergies and went to a store yesterday and bought ACV. I started from today morning by adding (1/8 cup of ACV to 16 ounce of water). Since I started drinking it, I feel that I sneeze more. I start immediattely after sipping the water+ACV mixture. Has anyone experienced the similar problem? Is it normal? Is it to with the type of ACV? Or is my mixture wrong?

Please help me with this as I am longing for a cure.
Bobo"

[YEA]  06/13/2009: Ep from Beaverton, OR: "Magic!! Thanks for spreading this info. I was desperately seeking a cure for my allergies.. after not being able to sleep through the night for the past few days due to pollen allergy. First, thinking all ACVs were all the same, I bought the regular kind (pasteurized & filtered). I felt better hours after taking the first shot. I slept through the night that night for the first time in a week.. I bought the unpasteurized one the next day.. I think both cure my allergy. I told everybody around me and so far, all of them cured from allergies, and these people no longer have to take allergy medication anymore. I love ACV!!!"

[YEA]  05/31/2009: Cameron from Riverside, CT: "I've been suffering from allergies for 12 years now. I finally went to a doctor this year to have the doctor take a look (I actually looked went to two docs). The tests they took showed I was allergic to almost every airborne allergen (95% of most airborne allergens, yikes!) I was seriously a running faucet and sneeze machine. I'd wake up sneezing, burn through toilet paper for wiping my nose. Basically, i was disgusting and I was completely bogged down for hay fever season. I started taking 3 shots of ACV a day. The first 10 days nothing and then all the sudden, on the 11th it was like a light switch. Everything stopped. I continued taking 3 shots a day for about a month and a half and am now down to 1 shot a day, which I am taking basically as a "just in case" shot. My allergies are completely eliminated. Not even a sniffle. I'm not sure how it works, but it 100% worked for me. Like a veil being lifted, a light turning on; it was a complete life change to be able to enjoy the seasons again :)"

[YEA]  05/31/2009: Jane from San Francisco, CA: "I had quite severe seasonal allergies with non-stop runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing. I started taking 1 tbsp of ACV with the mother in a glass of water, sometimes with 1/8 tsp of Baking Soda and sometimes without. The first 2 days, there was not much change, and the stuffiness in my nose seemed to be more than ever. But on the 3rd day, all the allergy symptoms completely went away and I've been allergy free ever since."

[YEA]  05/24/2009: AQEEL from SYDNEY, NSW: "HI GUYS , I DO HAVE DUST/WEATHER ALERGY WHEN EVER THE WEATHER IS CLOUDY AND RAINY DAY MY NOSE GET CLOSE AND I CAN NOT EVEN BREATH ...

[YEA]  05/21/2009: Augusto from Dallas, TX: "I was excited after reading that someone got rid of itchy nose and sore throat after taking 3 tbs of honey and 3 tbs of ACV. I have had these symptoms for over a month now. I just wouldn't take over the counter stuff and wouldn't react until it gets unbearable. So, it got to that point, surfing the net took me to this website, I tried the remedy and voila! No more itchy nose and the sore throat is almost completely gone; right after taking the remedy! Thanks for letting me in this awesome remedy, people!"

[YEA]  04/29/2009: Ladyw from Calgary, Alberta, Canada: "I stumbled on to your website after another severe allergic reaction to shell fish. I accidently ingested food cooked together. I have been aware of my allergy, so I'm pretty careful. I get completely blistered month, lips, throat and I think throughout my system. If I have touched shellfish my fingers peel. In agony, I was searching the net for treatment or relief of my symptoms. And up came Earth Clinic and ACV remedies. I decided to try it immediately. I took 1 tbsp of ACV in 4 oz of warm water, drinking it down fast, then just rinsed my mouth with water and baking soda. I tell you, it was immediate relief! My mouth pain stopped and my blisters seemed to coat over. I had been taking a pain killer every 4 hours and it was not even touching the pain. I was so relieved I fell to sleep exhausted. I repeated the same dose 3 times a day and I am now 48 hours later. My blisters are completely gone! This is a miracle. Other episodes this has taken me 3 weeks to recover from. I am so excited! I have read and read peoples comments and suggestions, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I am eager to see if it helps other ailments I am having. Ie: hives, asthma. Please anyone who suffers from allergies, give ACV an honest try. Be brave!"

[YEA]  04/26/2009: Liz from Scranton, PA: "In the last few years, I have developed severe allergies-- almost debilitating during the warm weather. My face swells, eyes shut and itch--even my scalp itches, but worst of all is blowing my nose raw and the exhaustion from continuous sneezing, headaches and constant sore throat. Did I say that I was almost constantly miserable? I had lost all semblance of my carefree outdoor life.

In desperation, I tried every natural remedy and over-the-counter medicine I could buy, even doubling the doses--nothing has worked except slightly, perhaps, for an hour or two.

I have found so much help on this site in the past, so I came here again yesterday when an allergy attack was so severe, I could not continue to teach. My seventh graders kept asking, "What's wrong, Ms.? What's wrong?"

Going over your allergy remedies again, I could not help but marvel at all the people who were getting such tremendous relief from apple cider vinegar. I had tried it before with little benefit, and I was just wishing, "If only it would work for me!"

Suddenly, it dawned on me! Maybe I'm not using enough vinegar! Maybe I'm not using it often enough? I started to use about two good splashes of raw apple cider vinegar to about three ounces of water (less than 1/2 cup). On the counter, ready and waiting, I had mixed 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and a little water (Thanks Ted). Quickly I slugged the vinegar and water (strong but bearable this way). Then immediately swished my mouth with the baking soda and water to protect my teeth. Swallowed a little of this for my stomach. I did this on the hour, about four times, and about 11:00 PM, I started to notice some relief.

I took the cider vinegar once during the night and again upon rising. Then I noticed right away that all my allergy symptoms had subsided considerably. I used the intensified method five or six times the next day and felt so well on the third day that I dropped the "treatment" back to 4 times. I feel human again! I feel wonderful! I can smell flowers and cut my grass without a handkerchief tied to my nose By the way, my nose is not red and swollen, my eyes are open and clear. The sore throat that I have had constantly for months and months is finally gone! THIS IS A MIRACLE WORTH PRAISING GOD ABOUT!

PLEASE! PLEASE! ANYONE WHO DID NOT FIND THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR TREATMENT FOR ALLERGIES TO WORK, TRY IT AGAIN AT MUCH HIGHER DOSAGES AND FREQUENCY.

It may be all you need to do to tweak this remedy and get your life back. I still can't believe how good I feel. Thank you Earth Clinic! So glad you're here for all of us!

Liz"

[QUESTION]  04/20/2009: Kimberly Tranor from Bishop, Ca: "Found your site about 7 months ago when looking for alternative allergy treatments so I could get off of those horrible prescription medications I'd been on for years. I Tried the ACV, and I was med free after 1 week! This is like a miracle to me - it's changed my life! And have not been sick with a cold or flu since then either......

My question is this: Typically I drink 2 tbsp. with 16 oz of water 2 - 3 times/ day. Now that spring is here, I am noticing that I am sneezy again with itchy eyes, etc. it seems to help if I add an extra dose of ACV - or drink a little when needed to stop an acute attack. Is this unwise to be drinking so much? Will it have any long term bad effects? I simply refuse to go back on any allergy medication this year.

Thanks!"

[YEA]  04/16/2009: Lisa from Atlanta, GA: "Apple cider vinegar cleared my allergies and congestion!! I followed the 2tsp in 16oz of water recipe twice a day. I don't measure exactly, though, so I may be a bit over 2 tsp actually. After returning to Mississippi for a visit in mid-March, my allergies (already pretty bad) got so bad that I lost my voice and could barely breathe. I am also asthmatic, and I was coughing so hard that my chest hurt. When I got home, I tried the ACV formula and within 3 days I was no longer coughing, and I was fully clear! I have not been congested since!! I tell everyone around me how well the remedy worked for me because now all my friends and family are suffering and I am not. :)"

[YEA]  03/12/2009: Michael from Albuquerque, NM: "WOW!!! My allergies have been worse than ever this year. I have been to the doctor twice and twice given antibiotics. They helped for a few days but as soon as I completed taking them, a few days would pass and I would feel bad again. Almost like I had the flu. My dad has sworn by ACV for years in helping with his weight loss. "Son, a glass at night and one in the morning" he says. KOOKOO!!! Was my thoughts. Well, I am at the end of my rope. I am a business owner and can not afford to be out of the office. I just mixed up a batch of blackberry tea (helps with the taste), 3 Tablespoons of ACV (always a beliver of more is better), and a 1 Tablespoon of honey. Well, as soon as I took my first sip, I had to blow my nose. I have now finished my first glass and feel like getting out of bed and going to work. Thanks for the website and now I will call my dad and apologize!!!"
