[YEA] 05/23/2007: John from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar. Today May 21, 2007 I decided to try ACV to relieve my allergies and what I thought was a cold or flu. I have had the flu for over 4 weeks but it turns out it is a combination of allergies and a slight cold. I have taken allergy pills one every 24 hours for the last 8 days and it works for awhile but then my nose starts running again and the mucous seems to be getting heavier. I took three glasses of apple juice with 2 tablespoons of ACV in each every 5 hours and now at 8:30 pm I feel like a new person with no runny or blocked up nose and now I am going to continue on this same regimen and try and lose 42 lbs and keep it off!! I will check back with you from time to time and let you know how I am doing. By the way, I am a 63 year old male."

[YEA] 04/29/2007: Jesse from Freeport, TX writes: "Results of use of ACV: I began to take it after suffering some bouts with acid reflux, I have yet to have another bout since taking it months ago. I was also experiencing problems with allergies such as congestion and runny nose. All of the symptoms are gone. For the pas three years my blood pressure readings had been high like 158/94. My last very recent physical almost floored my physician when it read 128/68. I am convinced."

[YEA] 04/17/2007: Ray from EL Paso, Texas writes: "I've been taking apple cider vinegar for a few months now. It's been the best thing I've tried for allergies. I was getting really sick with allergies and frequent sinus infections. On one occasion I went to the doctor and he prescribed some antibiotics for a sinus infection I had, which did not clear up after I finished the prescription. I was very skeptical about the apple cider vinegar at first, yet desperate to try anything. Spring time of course was always the worst. Since I've been taking ACV my allergies have been under control. Spring time is here with it's high winds and they're still under control. I can go outside and work on the yard or go jogging and my allergies are still under control. I love this stuff. I've been taking two tablespoons three times a day with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in 8 oz. of water. Sometimes I'll only take it twice a day, but my allergies are still under control. I want to thank earthclinic.com for having this website and posting this remedy."

[YEA] 03/31/2007: Joanne from Cole City, Georgia writes: "Acv has cleared my allergies. "I worked all day outside on the highest pollen count day of the year. I didn't even notice until a few days later that I didn't have an allergy attack.Praise the Lord for this site. I've been doing the oil pulling for about 2 weeks now, and I've noticed a black streak down the right side of my tongue. Do you have any idea what this is? Is it toxins leaving my body or what? My teeth certainly are whiter, and I feel more energized. This, with the cold showers, the acv, molasses mixture, and the coconut oil has made a BIG difference in my energy level. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Could you please tell me how to get my husband off colesterol meds and blood thinners? He hates the side effects and I hate the ingredients,(unnatural)"

[YEA] 03/30/2007: Toni from Amarillo, TX writes: "For at least a week I couldn't sleep for waking up coughing like crazy. Unable to breath thru my nose. On Monday 3/26/07 I went to the Doctor, he said it was allergies. Told me to do clairtin and flonase. I did that for 2 days, very little relief. I'm allergic to decongestants so that wasn't an option. Found your website Tuesday afternoon and started acv 1/2 acv and 1/2 water. That night I only woke up once. What a differance it made. Its now 3/30/07. I'm sleeping thru the night and the stuff that is comming out of my head is really gross. But I can breath. I will continue this 3 or 4 times a day until I'm clear. Thanks a million!"

[YEA] 03/25/2007: Suzanne from Myrtle Beach, SC writes: "I am 38 yrs. old and had developed the most irritating allergies... Sneezing and coughing so badly, that I would have to take benedryl for relief. I wasn't sure if they were due to the extreme amounts of pollen, my dusty house, or my cat. But, I knew I couldn't live like this. So, I tried the usual otc remedies- and moved on to the "harder stuff", (Zyrtec). But if I missed a day-BOOM! the allergies were in full force again. I knew I had not always been this way and did not plan to stay on meds. the rest of my life. I was determined to find a natural cure for this mess. That is when I

[YEA] 02/13/2007: Sassfire from Milwaukie, OR writes: "Thank you for this site. I have a very high insurance deductible and going to the doctor cuts into my food bill! I have been sick for three weeks and the quality of my life has suffered. I went to the doctor who told me take sudafed. I did and it helped very little. Today I woke up from a nap and just started crying. I just couldn't stand the pain and how tired I feel constantly. I tried the ACV and it worked at first then stopped. I then tried it by adding baking soda and it was amazing. I hope it continues to work. For now at least I can get some sleep. I love this site."

[NAY] 01/11/2007: Lorelei from Utah writes: "I tried ACV, 2 Tbl in juice, plus 1 Tbl honey. I did this 3X a day. I did it for a whole month. It didn't help allergies, overall energy or weight loss. It also did nothing for my kids' health. It may have improved my complexion. I do use it externally on my face as well, and that does seem to help some. It may help keep me somewhat healthier as far as communicable diseases go. I haven't caught the kids' myriad colds, flu, etc. But that may be due to echinacea, oil pulling, cold showers, or healthier eating!"

[YEA] 01/03/2007: Susan from Tampa, FL writes: "2 tsp honey, 2 tsp apple cider vinegar in 8 to 16 ounces of water 3 times a day cured my arthritis, back pain and allergies. I was in so much pain for many many years with severe back problems, and then 2 years ago was diagnosed with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. The dr. prescribed steroids, and 2 different immuno suppressant drugs and the side effects were horrible. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning, my joints and muscles hurt so bad, i also have fibromyalgia. I started this regimen about a month ago and saw immediate results. My hay fever has cleared up also. My sinuses are dry, usually I always have a bad post nasal drip problem. I feel more energized, and my body just feels good, like it is getting what it needs."

[YEA] 11/05/2006: Julie from Wichita, Kansas writes: "I tried this for a week after having been on nexium or prilosec for the past 8 years and it did nothing for me as far as my acid reflux was concerned. In fact, it made it much worse. It ended up getting so bad that I almost had my husband take me to the ER. My esophagus was spasming and even drinking water felt like I was swallowing a razor blade. BUT -- It did help tremendously with my allergy symptoms and headaches. In the mornings I always wake up feeling groggy with a stuffy head and nose with sinus drainage down the back of my throat and a headache that hangs on most of the day. While taking the ACV I had none of that with the exception of a very minor stuffy nose. I wish I could take it without it hurting my stomach and esophagus so badly! I can see why it works for weight loss though too.. my stomach and esophagus hurt so bad I don't want to eat anything."

[YEA] 10/28/2006: Linda from Paris, France writes: "What a relief -- after years of pill popping almost every night I was emailed your website by a friend and Voila!!!!! no more pills and no more sinuses. I have put my son on it as well and it definitely works thank you so so much."

[YEA] 09/19/2006: Teresa from Roanoke, VA writes: "I'd had (been diagnosed with) bad allergies for almost a year, & was on doctor-prescribed pills (Nexium, Allegra, Nasonex) that long. The symptoms were just as bad, I was dried out, my blood pressure was up, & I experienced shortness of breath. I stopped the drugs & started vinegar. It was a total miracle within a few days. Unfortunately, I also have acid reflux, GERD & was hoping it would be cured, as well. I stopped my PPIs (Nexium, Aciphex). The ACV seemed to work for a couple of days, but then I started suffering worse than I ever have. I'm afraid that it's the vinegar, so I don't know what to do. Please, does anyone have any suggestions?"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Teresa: Your body's bicarbonates is too low and this is why ACV worked only temporarily. Adding 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime, mixed in 1/2 glass of water should solve the problem. Increase your dose if you find this worked better. It takes about one week to relieve your conditions or at least for your body to have adequate levels of bicarbonates to be completely normal. It only takes one day to notice it works, and about 2 weeks to be normal. This is just my estimates based on my experience."

[YEA] 07/01/2006: Jack from Baltimore, MD writes: "Raw Apple Cider w/water 16oz 4-5 times day for 6 months. Half your body weight in ounces of water per day. Before meals and at bedtime. This concoction cured Hay fever I suffered from for 30 years, also acid reflux. My urine is mostly clear. No symptoms of allergies even if I miss weeks of the tonic and drink only clean water instead. No Acne break outs. Everyone can save so much money that they would spend on allergy pills if they would do this simple and cheap method."

[YEA] 06/23/2006: Andi from Canton, Ohio writes: "I suffered repeatedly every spring and often in the fall also form sinus infections and severe allergic symptoms. I would have terrible headaches, face pain and runny nose with itchy eyes and sneezing. However after discovering your website and starting an ACV treatment I have yet to need an antibiotic. Yeah ,no more medicine head only a clear head!"

[YEA] 06/21/2006: Shelly from Mentor, Ohio writes: "I started using apple cider vinegar when I read about all the allergy cures on earthclinic. My pollen allergies are all gone due to a combination of some local honey and 2 Tbsp acv every morning mixed in a glass of water. For my cat and dog (dander) allergies, I take an extra dose of vinegar before I go to someone's house with one of those animals. I still suffer from the dander allergies, but on a much much smaller scale. They are absolutely nothing like they used to be. I'm hoping that they will soon be gone."

[NAY] 05/08/2006: Anthony from Fort Meyers, FL writes: "Well, I must say this remedy fell far short of what I was expecting from other users reviews. I had tried using it at 2tbs, 3x a day for a week. When that failed to alleviate my allergies, I increased it to double that, 2tbs 6x a day. I took that dose for yet another week, and it still failed to alleviate my allergies in the least bit in any way whatsoever. Though it may depend on what your allergies are specifically, I can tell you that for mine, this remedy was ineffective."

[YEA] 04/21/2006: Kim from Phoenix, AZ writes: "After finding this site, I decided to try it for my allergies. My Doctor had suggested allergy shots and recommended I carry around an Epipen because my allergies are all so severe and I am allergic to just about everything. I had nothing to loose and everything to gain. WOW! is all I can say. I am pleased to say that since I have been taking it - I am now allergy free as long as I remain taking 4oz of water and 2 tblsp of ACV twice a day. My allergist even asked me not to tell too many people about my new discovery as it would put her out of business - as I was completely symptom free when I went for a check up"

[YEA] 02/14/2006: Tony from Miami, FL writes: "I am a 29 year old male, who has had nasal allergies since the age of 5. My mother told me a long time ago to give Apple Cider Vinegar a try, but I never believed that it would work. I have been on nasal allergy medications for years, and about two weeks ago, I just got fed up with pumping all of these chemicals into my body. I decided to seek a natural solution, that's when I ran across your website, and read about the Apple Cider Vinegar solution that my mother told me about. I cannot believe the results. Apple Cider completely eliminates my allergies, and it costs much less than what I used to pay for my nasal allergy medications. Doctors are trained nowadays to prescribe their patients non-natural medications, although there are many natural solutions to a lot of illnesses. Just think of it, how did people cope with illnesses prior to giant drug companies? They used natural remedies."

[YEA] Frederick from Loveland writes: "I have tried Remedy #1. I would have to say that I really wasn't expecting much, but to my amazement, the ACV helped much more than I would have ever anticipated. ACV hasn't taken my allergies away, but it has helped alleviate a lot of the symptoms. Thank you for having this site."

[YEA] Brenda from Sandston writes: "I am amazed at how acv cleared up my allergies. I have suffered with bad sinus problems for years and have taken every over the counter and prescription drugs made. ACV worked it just a few days and I only had 1 headache."

[YEA] Bob from Eagle River writes: "Every late summer, I suffer from Ragweed allergies. doctors could not give me any relief. Moving to Alaska helped alot, however, when visiting Florida in October, I had difficulty breathing from all the sneezing and wheezing. I then read your article and tried the ACV. The next day I was 100% fine. I went off it just to test and sure enough I began to get stuffed up again. I then took the ACV and later that evening I was again 100%. Thanks. Got anything that can grow hair on my head?"
