[YEA]  05/04/2009: Toni from Graham, NC writes: "I suffered from allergies for 27 years. One day I heard that Raspberries were good for allergies so I gave them a try. I will eat about four in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. I usually suffer from runny and itching nose, sneezing, watery eyes. It all disappeared, but you do have to eat them daily. Oh by the way I buy the frozen kind."

[YEA]  02/04/2010: Tracey from Indianapolis, In writes: "Raw Milk has pretty much cured my severe allergies. When I was a child, my parents were told I had cystic fibrosis because of the severity of my symptoms. When I was 8 they finally got the true diagnosis of out-of-control allergies. I was put on several medicines and my parents were told to make some pretty drastic lifestyle changes to get them under control.

Then when I was 10 or 11, a couple of things happened: I hit puberty, and we started getting raw milk from a farmer. My parents were still worried about my famine victim appearance, and admire the robust-looking kids of a professor friend who lived on a small farm. The friend told my dad that he had several cows, and all seven of his kids were drinking the milk. He was aware of the track record of raw milk in treating illnesses, and told my dad that a couple of my distant cousins in town were also drinking it. He didn't tell my dad about how it had been used in the past, though.

A couple of years later, everyone was marveling how I'd outgrown my allergies; even my allergist was amazed at my turnaround. I was gradually weaned off most of my medicines.

Then I went away to college, and my allergies returned within about 5 months, just a tad. Just enough to need a rescue inhaler and be on antihistamines that year. But they gradually worsened, until within 10 years I was on all kinds of experimental drugs, and within 12 years I was as bad as I'd ever been. I almost died when my son was 11 months old from a food reaction, only the second I'd ever had. Mine were all molds and pollens and danders.

About 2 years after that, we moved and I made new friends. One of them told me about someone who was going to have raw milk, and I was excited because it just represented health to me. I couldn't have the extensive garden and orchard my parents had had to plant when I was a child, but I could at least give my kids raw milk.

And within 6 months, I was wondering why there was no ragweed season. Within 12 months I'd let most of my allergy medicines run out without refilling them. And within 14 months, I'd been challenged by spending the night in a room with 5 of my top allergies, only to awaken with clear sinuses and lungs, still alive, even though I had no medicines with me.

I then found out that there had been a particularly severe ragweed season that year, and I hadn't even realized it. I realized the only thing that had changed for me during that time was adding raw milk to my diet. So I did some research and found out about the natural steroids in the cream that are destroyed by heat, and how substances in the milk heal small leaks in the intestines that may contribute to allergies.

At the same time, I noticed my 12-month-old daughter's eczema had vanished. I'd thought it wasn't active during the summer; then realized it hadn't reappeared during the winter. She now has lovely skin at age 10. And no cavities ever, because she's had pasteurized milk only a handful of times in her life.

That's the biggest thing I've noticed from drinking it, and it's such a huge thing in my life. The two times that I've had trouble getting raw milk for several months since then, at the end of that time period I would sometimes react to my strongest allergens again, just a little; and my daughter would sometimes have slight flair-ups of eczema. We do our utmost to make sure we can have raw milk!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  12/09/2009: Paul from Lansing, Mi writes: "I'm a 51 year old male who has been suffering from allergies for about 6 years. Nights have been tough. Waking about every 2 hours to blow my nose and take an allergy pill. A few weeks ago I decided to drink a glass of red wine before I went to bed. [a couple drinks of red wine is good for you]. I slept all night and woke up with a clear nose. Did it every night, same wonderful sleep. Ran out of wine, miserable night, woke up every 2 hours stuffed up. Got more wine, beautiful.

P.S. Red wine works very well for me for clearing my sinuses and works much longer than allergy pills I have used, but has not cured me of my allergies. I am hopeing that apple cider vinager will. "

01/14/2012: David from Menifee, California writes: "Hello, When my son has any contact with dogs in a few hours his lip or lips swells.

Does anyone know how to stop this swelling or why this is happening? This had not happened before with dogs. This once happened a few years ago when a plant bloomed near his window of his bedroom.

I would hate to have to give our dogs away or make their yard way in the back of our property as we really love these dogs.

Any advice would be appreciated!"

Have her eat yogurt twice a day. You will notice improvement in her eczema within a week. She will have to continue eating it to keep it at bay."

10/21/2011: Sofia from Claymont, De replies: "I had terrible psoriasis/eczema on my elbows and the side of my ankles for years. I had tried all the standard creams... The only thing that worked was the Budwig Protocol (I eat it once a day). It took a little getting used to but, it all went away. Good Luck!"

10/22/2011: Maria from Gippsland, Australia replies: "Hi Raj, You could try 1 teaspoon ACV in a glass of water and have one yourself at the same time with her. It can be much easier if you do it together and it is a drink that you are both having as apposed to it being seen as a medicine. If a piece of ice in a drink is seen as a treat then let her add one the first few times she has the drink. I would not add any extra for the first 2-3 weeks.

I also think bleached flour needs to be avoided. If it is possible I believe switching to organic grains is best as the chemicals used in storage are not good plus have seen great results from this. My girlfriend had great success with this and flax seed oil. One way to take flax oil is to make a banana smoothie - just plain yoghurt & 1 tbs flax oil blended together first, then add banana (or berries) and a spoon of raw honey. You could also add the teaspoon of ACV to this.

From personal experience chemicals in the home (cleaning products, sprays, perfumers) can actually cause eczema and add to the allergies. It may also be worth testing the ph of her urine and if it is acidic then give her an alkalizing drink. If she does not like the taste then let her drink it while it is still fizzing. Tulsi is also good for air-borne allergies taken as a tea. It is quite nice served cold in a glass and add a spoon of local raw honey, when its local & raw it can help with pollen allergies. Sorry about the long post when you only asked about ACV. All the best."
