A little Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water always helps me with respiratory allergies. You know the feeling of the back of your throat itching? Sneezing? Stuffy nose? and watery itchy eyes? Add a capfull of ACV into a cup of water. In about 10 minutes the harshness of the allergy symptoms will lessen dramatically.

Patrice, you can try:
1. Plain ol' tea/lemon/honey.
2. Bill Monroe's inhalation of h202.
3. Breathing a cut onion.

Dear Patrice,
Mmsg has great suggestions!
We also found nettle leaf and quercetin to be very helpful for my son with hay fever symptoms.
An adult dose would be 4 nettle leaf capsules 3 times a day. At the same time take 1 one capsules of quercetin. My son did this for a year (he took less as he was a child) and it actually seemed to heal his hay fever and improve his constitution. Many days he only needed the dose twice and would take the third dose mid-day if he had symptoms.

Black seed oil (nigella sativa) 1 tsp 2x a day - will resolve the mucous, throat clearing issue - it did for me with my allergies. It tastes icky, but I chase it with juice or water. Get it at the vitamin shop. Great, safe stuff. If used, 2 days of nose blowing will precede the relief.
Myway, :D
Patrice, I can't speak to the wheat, but the cheese is a slow process, and you have to quit all the dairy, the ice cream, cheese, milk, cottage cheese etc. 15yrs back, I cut all the dairy, and it took 90 days to show a retreat in my symptoms. The body reaches a saturation point and BAM you're done for til you figure it out and cut out the dairy. Today, I consume dairy, but at a reduced rate and do not over do it, and my allergic symptoms are only in the spring. Just wanted to make it clear, a halfhearted or insufficient cut back in dairy will not produce good results.

Try just increasing water to half the body weight and adding 1/8 tsp of sea salt per 24 oz water. ACV didn't work for me either, neither did just increasing water. However adding the salt to the water did the trick. Dehydration causes histamines to be released. Salt helps water get into cells and hydrate the body. Otherwise the water ends up in the toilet. God IS that awesome!

He most likely has food allergies culminating to EOE esophagitis - try elimination diet.
To Soothe the throat, two things: Coconut Oil 2 Table spoons 3x a day. Also Nin Jiom syrup helps heal the issue however food allergies need to be addressed.
Also MOLD, make sure your house doesn't have any or none of this will make any difference.

So then I thought, if everyone else is raving about it, why isn't this working for me? I upped the dose: yesterday after a particulary awful hayfeverish day, I took three tablespoons of it in water three times. Today, I took it at 6:30 am then again at 9am at the same dosage. And guess what...no symptoms at all. Crazy. I will take another strong dose when I get home and perhaps tomorrow reduce it a bit.
If the ACV isn't working for you, increase it!!

I, too, have many times found that if I just INCREASE THE DOSE a reported natural cure works FINE. Heck with dilution I started taking a standard shot glass and putting a tablespoon or so organic and unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (cheaper brands don't work as well I've found). Than I just take it DOWN in one shot. Don't even chase it with water but of course you can. 2x per day. HAYFEVER PROBLEM SOLVED WITHOUT DRUGS thank you very much! Nice to know ACV has a lot of OTHER good "side effects" too!
I agree, but I always use a straw to drink my ACV because I hear it can be very hard on your tooth enamel. With a straw, I bypass it getting on my teeth. If my throat is irritated from allergies, etc., if my ACV is too strong though, it can make me choke so I dilute mine quite a bit. At least 8 oz of water per 1 tbsp ACV. I always use the best ACV I can get with "mother" on the bottle. I only buy it if it's in a glass container also.

I had a similar experience with apple cider vinegar as some people on here are saying. I took it for a long time but never with any noticeable benefits. However, 3 months ago I became a vegetarian, and since then I am doing great! Mild detoxing effect, weight loss, tons of energy and great mood... I recommend it to everyone. My only explanation as to why it didn't work before is because I was so acidic while still eating meat. Now my body is more alkaline and thus able to really see a difference.... pretty awesome.

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.

Yes, I agree. It's the organic ACV with the mother which is usually cloudy in appearance, contains more nutrients. I have been taking two tablespoons diluted in a glass of water three times a day with cayenne pepper (couple of pinches), followed by a couple of spoons of honey (even better if it is local) three times a day. I prefer to take the honey raw rather than trying to dilute it, as it leaves a coating in the back of your throat, and you lose the nutrition value when it is heated. So far it is working after 20 years of suffering. But there is still time yet before the season ends.

Now let us turn to allergic manifestations in man and look into hay fever, or pollinosis. In 1942 a paper by Holmes and Alexander (5) appeared and gave the results of tests on twenty-five hay fever patients tested consecutively with 100 milligrams of ascorbic acid per day for the first week, 200 milligrams daily for the second week, and finally, 500 milligrams daily for the third week. In most cases, little or no relief was afforded by the 100 milligrams per day level, but when the higher doses were used on the same subjects, they reported a high degree of success, only two of the subjects reporting ‘‘no relief.' One of the subjects broke out in a rash and quit the test. Holmes extended this work to food allergies and, in 1943, published his results on 27 patients indicating 80 percent success with 500 milligrams of ascorbic acid a day. He notes that while ascorbic acid is nontoxic, he did observe several cases out of a large number where the patients suffered headaches or sore spots around the mouth and, in one instance, diarrhea.
Apparently there is a low percentage in the population of individuals hypersensitive to ascorbic acid who show these reactions to ascorbic acid even though Korbsch (5), in 1938, reported that ascorbic acid in oral doses up to 1 gram a day relieved serumrashes, erythema multiforme (a type of skin rash), and allergic coryza. A possible way of avoiding these reactions may be to build up gradually to the high dosage intakes rather than starting directly with the high levels.
Pelner (6), in 1944, showed that an extremely sensitive ragweed patient could be protected against adverse reactions to pollen-antigen injections by incorporating 100 milligrams of ascorbic acid with the injection. Pelner had also found previously, in 1943, that he could similarly prevent adverse reactions in a series of 51 patients to sulfonamide injections and, in 1942, he prevented the allergic reactions of a rheumatic fever patient to salicylates. Two other papers by Hebald and Engelsher (7) appeared in 1944. Both claimed that ascorbic acid at 500 milligrams per day is not an effective treatment for hay fever. From these contradictory reports, it is evident that 500 milligrams a day is just marginal in hay fever treatment, giving the typical good results with some investigators and outright failures with others. From the lessons learned in Yokoyama's (3) anaphylactic tests on guinea pigs, it is likely that the higher levels of megascorbic therapy would produce more consistent and successful results.
Ruskin, in 1945, concluded as a result of his studies that ascorbic acid plays a valuable role in treating allergies at an optimum dosage of 750 milligrams daily either orally or by injection. In some cases the ascorbic acid therapy alone proved superior to the pollen desensitization used previously. A paper by Friedlander and Feinberg, appearing in 1945, also indicated that 500 milligrams of ascorbic acid daily was insufficient to change the clinical course of hay fever and asthma (8).
Ruskin, 1947, published another paper reporting that sodium ascorbate was more effective than ascorbic acid in refractory cases of allergy and asthma at 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams per day. In 1948, Ruskin published another paper along similar lines and indicated additional successful results. In a study conducted in both Boston and New York on sixty hay fever patients given 1,000 to 2,250 milligrams of ascorbic acid daily along with a few milligrams of vitamin B,, as reported in 1949, Brown and Ruskin concluded that about 50 percent of their hay fever patients taking the lower dosage and about 75 percent of the patients on the higher doses showed improvement. They stated, “The larger dose may have played a part in producing the apparently greater improvement in the larger percentage of patients.'' In this test series, one subject reported a laxative effect, two reported flushing and headache, and one reported a rash around the eyes and the scientists stated, “Approximately 5 percent of the patients may suffer mild, although easily controlled, side reactions” (9).
The reader now has a representative review of the clinical research on the use of ascorbic acid in the treatment of hay fever at levels from 100 milligrams to 2,250 milligrams a day. It shows the confusing results at the lower levels of treatment and the greater percentage of success as the dosages were increased. Yet in all these tests the dosages of ascorbic acid used were much below the levels of ascorbic acid indicated by current calculations to be synthesized in the liver of an equivalent-sized mammal under equivalent stress. No one in all these years has been inspired to test dosages of ascorbic acid more closely related to these mammalian levels in spite of the suggestive results of previous clinical tests that the degree of success was dose-related. The protocols of any future clinical tests on hay fever should include the year-round daily intakes of 3 to 5 grams of ascorbic acid (Note: 1gram = 1,000mg ascorbic acid), in spaced doses and at higher levels during the particular hay fever season (with and without other antihistamines). The seasonal dosage would be adjusted, depending on the results obtained. If hay fever sufferers were to organize and make enough noise, these tests would be conducted.
Note: Use a good quality Ascorbic acid, made in the USA, third party tested. I choose Nutricost brand, Ascorbic acid Vitamin C because it met all my requirements and it is fairly cheap $20 for 1lb. I am taking one gram (¼ tsp.) powder in half a glass of water 3x/daily. That's 3,000mg. I've tried tablet's before and they did not work (I later discovered they were sourced from Chinese Pharmaceutical Manufacture “Spring Valley Brand at Walmart” = CRAP)
Baking Soda

It works for me and my friends. I am over 65.
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, in 4 oz of water. Results can be seen within 1/2 hr. It is more effective, last longer, cheaper than those non drowsy tablets.
