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.

My toddler had a bad sinus infection for almost a week, and so I tried the ACV. 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!

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.

'WOW, I have had a really bad Sinus infection for about a week now. I was looking to get some relief and I found this site. Reading everybody's feedback I decided to give it a try, I mixed 1/4 cup with 16oz of water and drank it down and to my surprise 30 mins later the heaviness in my chest was gone and my mucus was draining really well also my nose cleared up right away! This still is amazing. I am so glad I found this site. I will be taking ACV daily now to keep up my heath. I LOVE IT!!!! Thanks again.

Oh My Goodness: I am two days into drinking the honey lemon vinegar tea and I am must say that I slept better the last two nights than I have in years. I was suffering with a sinus infection and was on antibiotics, as soon as I drank just one cup of vinegar and water my head cleared up. I have been doing the ACV tea 3 times a day for the last couple of days and I feel great. Thank you so much for putting this valuable information out on the web.

My husband and I have both tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and it has helped tremendouslY with our chronic sinus problems. My infection is gone and it helps thin the mucous. My elderly aunt told me about ACV for sinus 20 years ago but I did not heed at that time.

I do not like to take medicines, but I was feeling so awful that I took some sinus medicine last night and went to bed. I woke up this morning feeling worse, this is my third day. I went online to look for natural cures for sinuses and came across your website. I am back to say a huge THANK YOU!!!! I took ACV at 10:00pm and by 10:06 I was on the phone telling my friend about this stuff!! I can breathe!!! It is now 10:25 and my headache is almost gone!! I still cannot believe this... Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I don't know why I've never searched the net before for a cure, but I did this morning, because I was desperate. My Doctor has given me several things over the years to help w/ almost chronic sinus problems. Some things have worked, but only for a short time. Today, I bought some All Natural Apple Cider Vinegar. I poured an unspecified amount in a bottle of Aquafina and took a sip... Right there in store's the parking lot. I was amazed that within 10 seconds or so of my first two sips, I could actually breathe through both nostrils for the first time in 3 days. I was utterly amazed. Thank you whoever figured this one out... You are my hero.
