[YEA]  11/14/2006: Melinda from Sutherlin, VA writes: "I came upon your site while in a desperate attempt to rid myself of an awful sinus infection. I do think that it came from the consumption of ice cream. I had several days of flu like symptoms prior to the sinus infection. I started taking antibiotics on the 10th and did not find any major relief until yesterday morning after drinking 16 oz of white grape juice mixed with 1/8th cup of ACV. I actually had a bit of drainage within minutes of using this formula. I am sipping it today with water. I feel so much better and actually have lots of energy and am enjoying my 3 kids again! I am thankful for your site, as my 2 month old daughter is recovering from open heart surgery and I was concerned about having to call the doctor for more antibiotics and having to see a doctor right now is almost impossible since she is to stay indoors and away from people. She is also fully breast fed and this recipe has not hindered my milk or the taste of it. What a true blessing. Mama of 3"

[YEA]  11/09/2006: Terri from Eustis, FL writes: "ACV worked on my sinus infection although I do not find it palatable in the least. I diluted it in water and still found it to be repulsive : ) but for curing a sinus infection, five stars! However, BEWARE, my 17 year old daughter had been suffering from a sinus infection also and she took it, she ended up in the doctors office much sicker than she already was, she has asthma and apparently ACV is very harmful for asthma sufferers. Hope this article helps!"

EC: This is the first we've heard about Apple Cider Vinegar being harmful for asthma sufferers.' In fact, it is one of the more popular cures on our asthma page.  Click here to read the feedback on ACV and Asthma

[NAY]  11/04/2006: Kate from NY, NY writes: "Be careful about self diagnosing your sinus infections. I was taking ACV for them and was just feeling worse and worse. I went to see a nutritionist and it turns out the sinus problems were actually a symptom of virus, parasites and candida. And ACV is probably the worst thing I could have been taking. These ailments cause other kinds of reactions that mock sinus infection. See a doctor before taking anything."

[YEA]  10/14/2006: Liza from Ft. Worth, TX writes: "I read about the ACV remedy to cure a sinus infection and I must admit that at first I didn't believe it. I was desperate to try anything because I never had a sinus infection before and I couldn't stand the pain. My husband had a sinus infection for more than a week and nothing he took worked. So I tried the ACV remedy and I was very impressed and relieved. It tasted awful but it worked in less than 15 minutes.. my sore throat, phlegm, sinus pressure and headache were gone. I woke up the next morning feeling great. I'm so glad I tried it, otherwise I would of been suffering with the pain for a long time. I called everyone I know and recommend them to try it the next time they get a sinus infection. Thanks!"

[NAY]  09/30/2006: Anne from Bronx, NY writes: "Although I was hoping that these remedies would cure or at the very least help with my sinus infection, it did not help me. I tried both the tomato tea and the apple cider vinegar for 5 days in a row. No luck for me. Still can't smell, taste or hear after 3 weeks."

[YEA]  09/26/2006: Christina from Audubon, PA writes: "Like most readers I came to this website in pure desperation. I once again got a sinus infection the first time the weather temp changed. Looking for an alternative to Tylenol Cold, etc. I was a bit skeptical about the ACV method. I tried to drink it 1/2 and 1/2 with water as quickly as possible, but had to do it much slower to get used to the flavor (this was yesterday). Today I've been drinking it all day even more diluted with 2 tbls of honey which helped tremendously. I have to say I am shocked, relieved, and in disbelief! This stuff REALLY WORKS!!! My husband can't get over it either. I am not 100% better, but what would normally go on for 2 weeks and then I'd catch another cold/sinus infection etc, has cleared up in less than 2 days! I am hooked for life. I am sharing this website with all my friends and family. Thank you so much!!"

[YEA]  09/26/2006: Ellen from South Carolina writes: "I have been suffering from severe periodic bouts of sinus infections for around 4 years. I usually wind up on antibiotics which includes a trip to my dentist thinking I may have an abscess tooth. The pain around my cheekbones and upper teeth with facial swelling is pretty much unbearable. I just finished 2 weeks worth of biaxin to absolutely no avail. As a last resort before decapitating myself, I checked the internet for a possible home remedy. I found the apple cider vinegar remedy and boy is it ever a miracle. I wasn't able to drink it, but I mixed half equal portions of vinegar and water, brought it to a boil and inhaled the fumes covering my face with a towel. In less than 24 hours I am completely well. I really still can't believe this works. I plan on keeping ACV on hand at all times. I am sharing this with every sinus sufferer I know. Thanks for this great tip!"

[YEA]  09/22/2006: Terri from Eustis, FL writes: "I have been experiencing sinus infections for years and years. I live in Florida and have been told by an allergist that I have numerous allergies (according to his tests). I have take antibiotics, nasal sprays, over the counter and prescription drugs to combat my sinus issues which have continued to make me miserable. Recently I developed yet another sinus infection, painful, stuffy head, difficulty breathing, etc. In desperation I began searching for natural cures. Thanks to your site and article on ACV, in just 3 short days I feel miraculously normal. Thank you God for your wonderful people that care enough to post this site. I also have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia so I am going to use ACV long term and see if it helps, is so I will post more feedback. Thank you for being there : ) Terri from Florida (age 43)"

[YEA]  09/10/2006: Jacalyn from Round Rock, TX writes: "i had lived with what i thought was a migraine for four days, on day five--my sinuses were rock hard. i thought i would go to urgent care, but decided to go online to see if there were any natural cures. i tried the 1/2 cup acv and 1/2 cup water; and also the acv steaming and i put colloidal silver in my nasal spray. the nasal spray and the acv steam made my sinuses burn for 45 minutes--but about an hour later--i got relief. i decided to do the cure 3 times today. here i sit 9 hours later--yet to do my last treatment--and i feel absolutely normal. my husband just said--"hey, where's your ice pack?" I've had one on my head, face and neck for five days! I am so thankful for this website and I encourage anyone with a sinus problem to give this a try. Just drinking the acv mixture didn't do the trick for me--but using the acv steam and nasal treatment with the acv drink surely has proven to be the answer for me. thanks!"

[YEA]  09/03/2006: David from Waynesboro, PA writes: "Ok, I absolutely HATE the taste or even smell of vinegar so I was very reluctant to try this remedy, but I was desperate. I read that even the fumes of the ACV helped so I started out by sniffing it. No joke, within a few minutes I started to feel my sinuses drain; mucus became much thinner. It didn't smell too strong, so I decided to drink it. I mixed 1/3 cup ACV with 6 oz. of green tea with Ginseng & honey. It burns a little going down, but not all that bad once you get used to it. I feel SO MUCH BETTER already and it's only been about 10 minutes. I am so glad I found this site! Not sure if this will cure it, but at least it'll give me relief until I get antibiotics."

[YEA]  06/14/2006: Sherry from Kalispell, MT writes: "'m so excited to say I recently ran across your web site in pure desperation. I had a sinus infection and with previous history I've always went to the doctor. With no insurance this gets expensive. They always say antibiotic use is not good. I wanted a home remedy. I have to say the acv WORKED! Right after using it I felt better. I've repeated this throughout the day and feel I'm almost over it. Without a doctor."

[YEA]  06/09/2006: Skip from Jackson,Alabama writes: "I am an insurance adjuster, and as you may guess, a large portion of my last year has been spent in New Orleans, LA due to the hurricane and flood damages. Mold is an under statement. It seems that every time I would go into N.O. I would return with a chronic sinus infection. I would go to the Dr. and be prescribed antibiotics. This began to worry me that I may become immune and one day really need them and they not be effective. I found this site and tried the vinegar, but instead of drinking it or warming it and inhaling the vapors,I used a nebulizer, used straight vinegar and to my surprise my sinus infection cleared within 2-3 days. Even faster than the antibiotics. Thanks for sharing this info. I just wish I would have found it sooner."

EC: A nebulizer is a medical device that delivers liquid medication (or in this case, apple cider vinegar) in the form of a mist to the airways.

[YEA]  05/25/2006: David from Queen Creek, AZ writes: "I've been getting sinus infections once or twice a year for the last 10 years and they would last between 4 and 6 months, this last infection has lasted 1 1/2 years, went to the doctor twice, each time I got antibiotics, even the Doctor had doubts that it would clear up, he talked about doing surgery, I didn't want that, so for the past 9 months I've getting by with over the counter drugs and sinus rinses, then I came across this website just last Friday, bought a bottle of ACV at the local food market, Monday the 21st I drank 4oz of ACV with 4oz of water, I realize that I didn't dilute it enough, the taste was really bad and my stomach was badly upset, the rest of the day I notice that I no longer was spitting out green/yellow mucus, it was clear and no headache. Day 4, repeated just one 4oz drink(with 20oz of water) for each day and I can honestly say that the infection is gone."

[YEA]  04/26/2006: Ed from North Wales, PA writes: "I am a 44 yr old male that has been getting sinus infections 3 or 4 times a year for the last 17 years or so. I am in otherwise great shape, going to the gym 4/5 times a week and running up to 25 miles a week. However, I was never able to kick these infections. My body has built up a resistance to antibiotics over the years. I now must take strong antibiotics like avelox to get rid of the infections. I dreaded getting my next sinus infection because I couldn't workout and because I knew I was hurting my body with the antibiotics Well the other shoe dropped again and I got another infection this past week. My last one was over christmas holidays. Once I get them, I cannot get rid of them and its off to the doctor . My symptoms are: it usually begins as a sore throat, muscle aches, sinus pressure, swollen and sore lymph nodes in neck, slight fever and of coarse thick green/yellow mucus. I decided to do a search on sinus infections and found this site. I am by nature a skeptical person so I figured I would eventually be going to the doctor soon enough. I read the article and went out to the Whole Foods store and bought _______s ACV. Started it friday night with a higher dose than what they said, 1 oz ACV and 7 oz distilled water. Woke up breathing through my mouth and a stuffed up nose, not much change. Chilled most of the day, and took 4 more doses, early morning , noon, late afternoon and before bed. I woke up Sunday morning and my nose was not stuffed up. It is now sunday afternoon and mucus is just about gone, and I'm feeling much better than earlier in the week. I plan on continuing my mixture for a couple more days and then go to a lower dose to keep them away. I am quite pleased that maybe I can stay away from the doctors and the drugs now. thanks for posting the info."

[YEA]  04/11/2006: Ronan from Galway, Ireland writes: "I've tried the ACV suggestion and though the taste takes some getting used to, it's a small price to pay for the relief from the torturous effects of blocked and/or infected sinuses. I had almost instant results and over the last few days my head has cleared up significantly so many thanks for the tip.

I also have a tip to offer. A few weeks ago I went on a 2 day trip with my brother in law in his car. Upon my return I was pleased to notice that my head had cleared up for the first time in weeks. Later that day I had to take a trip of about 20 miles in my own car. I had about 4 miles traveled when my headache had returned, my eyes were teary and tired, my nose was running and shortly after began to bleed some. I put this scenario to a friend of mine who works with cars. His first question was 'Have you changed the pollen filter?'. My answer was 'There's a pollen filter?'. Immediately he removed the pollen filter from the car. It was black. It should be white. Inside the filter cavity wall there was a thick dust like substance which he wiped away. He then produced a canister of air-conditioning system cleaner and proceeded to disinfect the aircon system. This took about 30 minutes.

Replace your pollen filters every 12 months and sterilize the aircon system! As a result of this process and taking ACV I've had a great 3 weeks. I hope this helps others. All the best and thanks again, Ronan, Galway, Ireland."

I gave him a mix of 1ml ACV and 4ml water in an oral syringe, and by the next day his mucus had lessened immensely and had turned from yellow to clear, and stayed that way all day. Thanks!"

[YEA]  03/11/2006: Scott from Alpharetta, Georgia writes: "I have suffered from Sinus and ear infections for the last 3 years. The last period began Dec 24/2005. Since that time I have been on 7 weeks of Antibiotics, plus 300 MG of Suphedrine and 400 -800 MG of Ibuprofen daily. I gave up on the antibiotics Feb 19, but continued with Suphedrine and Ibuprofen until March 10. I began breathing over pot of hot water mixed with vicks and nasal rinse with saline around Feb. 1 2006. The pot/towel and nasal rinse alleviated some of the pressure and I would get some drainage, yellow/green thick mucus, but no improvement. On the morning of march 10 I was fed up. I went online to look for a cure using hydrogen peroxide. My mother had used this in my ears as a child to fight infections successfully and I had done the same to my boys. I then ran across your site. I read about the Apple Cider Vinegar. I remembered I had bought a bottle for some reason over a year ago and immediately poured 4 oz and mixed with 12 oz water. I then drank the whole thing right away. I was astonished. Within 15 - 30 minutes I could feel the draining of the sinus cavities. My daily headache never materialized. I drank another 4 oz of ACV mixed only with 6 oz of water later after 6 PM. I also used a 240 ML bottle and mixed about half Hydrogen peroxide half water and began a warm nasal rinse. Suffice it to say it stung for about 20-30 seconds, but the immediate flow that began was incredible. It is now about 36 hours since I first started the ACV and I can report I feel better than I have in 75 days. No headaches, no pressure, I can feel the mucus thinned and draining and I believe that with another 24/48 hours I will have no more symptoms. This site and info was amazing. I plan on continuing daily ACV. With the major allergy season beginning now here in the South, I am expecting that I will NOT suffer at all this season. Thanks so much. I will pass the word on, especially to my doctor."
