Ah yes, allergies... Thanks to the constantly degrading condition of the environment, more and more people are getting chronic allergies. The good news: there are many home remedy cures for chronic allergies! The bad news: they don't all taste yummy.
But first... Earth Clinic's observations: If you are prone to getting allergies, be careful of over-the-counter and prescription medications. This list can include pain relievers with Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen and allergy medications. We have discovered that these sinus medications can stress the liver unduly, creating more mucus in the body as the liver fights to detox from the medications. Instead of helping with sinus conditions, these sinus prescriptions actually exacerbate them!
One sign of a stressed immune system is that your mucus may thicken, becoming more yellow in color. A test you can do to monitor whether your body is having a hard time processing an allergy medication or pain reliever is to note the color of your mucus before you take the medication and then after. (Note: you can only do this if you aren't already on a pain reliever or allergy medication.) If your mucus is clear, you have allergies. (Note: clear mucus can also be indicative of a virus.) If, within 12 hours of taking a medication you notice that your mucus is getting thicker, then your body is having a difficult time processing the medication you just took. Moreover, if you are prone to getting sinus infections, be forewarned this is an early warning signal of an impending sinus infection. The time frame from allergy to sinus infection is a very quick one, so you must take action quickly.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: RECIPES AND DOSAGE
Apple Cider Vinegar is hands down our favorite remedy for stopping most allergies like pollen, dander, dust, animals food, etc. We aren't kidding! We wish more people knew about this amazing home remedy for allergies.
We have found that when apple cider vinegar is taken either as a daily tonic or at the first sign of an allergy (i.e., sinus headache, stuffy nose, watery eyes), one can completely stop the histamine response or allergic reaction.
There are a couple ways you can drink apple cider vinegar. One way is to put 1/8th cup ACV in 16 oz of water and sip it throughout the day. The other method is to gulp the mixture at once. Depends on your preference, really. Sometimes you just have to take this dosage once to stop the allergy and sometimes you need to take it up to three times a day. If taken at the onset of symptoms, allergies will usually disappear between 1 -3 hours after taking the first dose of Apple Cider Vinegar. If you've been experiencing allergies for a day or more, your symptoms will disappear after about 24 hours. If they don't, make sure you continue to take water/vinegar mixture for several days! The great thing about apple cider vinegar is that it appears to repair the immune system over time. So while you may take it every day for a month or two to begin with, you can taper off it and then only take as needed.

TED'S REMEDIES
08/13/2006: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "You are NOT going to find answers by going from one diet to another. Most fad diets don't work, and besides your body is not functioning properly anyway.
You are going to have a reaction until you found out you can eat no more than three different foods that you don't have a reaction. This is what I have found in one parents trying to treatment with one child. I resolved this problem simply by doing the following:
Just eat the foods as you always do, but stay away from foods that is obviously bad for you such as sugar, fructose, glucose, fried foods, monosodium glutamate, fast food, restaurant foods, microwave cooked foods, gluten, white bread, white flour, milk, bakery, pastries, aspartame, and preserved meats for example.
Eat variety and eat more vegetables and sometimes fruits are o.k. Eating seeds are important, especially for your case is pumpkin seeds, apricot seeds, whole apples, etc.
The most important point is keep your diet simple, while focusing on higher fiber and nutrient rich foods.
You are going to have a reaction regardless of what foods you are eating anyway. This comes to the second issue: you need to take the supplements immediately without having to wait for proper diets, since your diets is going to be simple anyway, you can now concentrate on the supplements.
The key biochemistry issue in your body that is messed up pretty badly is your body's immune system is out of order due to invading fungus and other pathogens. As a result the body is going to produce excess histamine regardless.
This comes to what supplements should you take? Without the thousands of dollars of blood tests, and other unnecessary diagnosis, most experienced and honest practitioners (very few today) will know right of the bat that your body is deficient in zinc, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin B deficient. On the other hand your body has excess copper. So the following supplements is going to help you:
1. Vitamin B complex, B1, B2, B3, ... B6 at 100 mg. each per day. While B12 is taken at 100 mcg per day.
2. Zinc supplements, in form of zinc acetate (or zinc gluconate) at 50 mg. per day. Taken only for one week. Then stop then continue again. For about 1-2 months. From then on, you decided how much dose and interval dose is needed for maintenance. My maintenance dose is only 50 mg. every 2-3 weeks, once the body has sufficient manganese levels.
3. Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate please!) at 2000 mg - 3000 mg. per day. You may give yourself 500 mg. at 4 times, or perhaps 6 times per day to get it up to 3000 mg/day.
4. Selenium (selenium methionine) 200 mcg.
5. Molybdenum (sodium molybdate) 50 mg.
6. Manganese. Based on my own experiments so far, Manganese sulfate is the preferred form, at 10 mg./day -20 mg./day. Taken only for one week. Manganese is best absorbed ONLY ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Most supplements tend to block absorption, so we keep this simple. Some say certain supplements are synergistic, yes, but not when you are consuming them at the same time! Take it after several hours that you take vitamin C.
7. Magnesium. Never forget magnesium! They play an important role in your recovery. Just take 250 mg of Magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate or magnesium ascorbate.
Taking lots of zinc will reduce the copper and at the same time improve the zinc to copper ratio in your body.
Before bed time, take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, pls 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid in one half glass of water. The optimum dose, I have calculated for most people (if they are sick, but not very sick) is to be taken twice a day on an empty stomach. One before bed time and one in the morning.
If you are following my directions, you should get better the next day without any major food reactions. It is IMPORTANT that you drink, mineral water. Never drink distilled water as it is deficient in buffers and will cause your body's pH to be unstable.
Continue to take vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) for the next 2-3 months along with zinc (intermitently), manganese (intermitently) and both your sinus and your gray hair should go away, especially on the third month. It really helps that you buy a good fulvic acid to help balance all those messed up mineral imbalance if possible. However, if you can find a sodium thiosulfate somewhere, just add a couple of drops to your drinking water. It will detox whatever poisons you have in your body. We keep it simple and stupid first, otherwise you are going to make your life unusually complicated for yourself. Just remember the baking soda and citric acid, you can add a little more citric acid, if you wish (for taste reasons) however, whatever you do with this the resultant chemical, sodium citrate is anti-inflammatory, as well as a good detoxifier for your body anyway.
You should be almost completely normal (sinus is going to take about 3 months), on the second week, but you should feel better the very next day, you will feel better when you wake up.
If you are in a hurry to relieve your sinus, just buy Sinusbuster, which is really a pepper solution to kill the fungus. By the way, your litmus paper is almost useless. You need a pH meter since it is often not that accurate. Take note that if you are "knocked out" or sleep much more then usual, take this to mean that your body is trying to recover."

06/16/2009: Tia from Detroit, , Mich, usa replies: "I realize this post is a few years old, but I am reading conflicting reports of to drink or not drink distilled water. Here, Ted says not to. Other posts say it's the cleanest bottled water to drink, so I am wondering is there something you can add to the distilled water to make it more beneficial? Or should we really just avoid distilled water?"
06/17/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Tia:
In regards to distilled water, If I do use it, I will always reconstituted them by adding sea salt. The typical addition of a sea salt is 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. The problem about normal tap water is the chlorine and fluorine. Most are eliminated with the reverse osmosis water without having to use the distilled water. A distilled water is contraindicated with metabolic acidosis, magnesium deficiency and allergy issues, such as a runny nose. That's because whenever the body's electrolyte run low, the body tries to maintain balance by sweating more, or getting more runny nose on even the slightest irritation. This is why a sea salt solution put into a nose will usually worsen the condition, but has the exact opposite in stopping a runny nose within five minutes with a standard dose of 1/4 teaspoon sea salt in a cup of warm water. A distilled water is acid as it does not have enough buffer. Try a simple experiment, leave distilled water in open air for an hour. The pH will quickly drop to less than 7, even though normal pH for water is 7. It lacks bicarbonates and is also contraindicated for people with hair loss issues. If the person wants to detox, the best way is not the distilled water, but perhaps a reconstituted reverse osmosis water with the added sea salt, or perhaps a sea salt added to the mineral water. Haven't anyone ever wondered why doctors always give people a saline water for nearly all conditions? The saline water detoxes the body of toxins in the simplest way possible. Originally this practice was used in homeopathy before its success caused the conventional medicine to accept the use of IV saline solution. In research studies they found that whether you take Saline IV or even oral sea salt solution, the positive effects are almost exactly the same. The major difference is the cost and the dangers of setpticemia that tends to occur in the course of any I.V. Hence babies generally have allergies simply because their diets are virtually zero of any natural sea salt added to their diets, plus homogenized and pasteurized milk is what I considered to be "dead milk" because all the active biological components in the milk gets denatured or destroyed and babies have little chance of really being getting full nutrition of a milk. Hence, a sea salt adeded woul restore many of the associated skin problem. I am doubtful any wise parents will feed a child of distilled waters to babies in any milk formula. Where's the mineral, and the pH buffers that stabilizes a drinking water when you prepare a milk formula? It's likely from this reasoning that sea salt is not likely to be in a diet of a baby and hence their allergies. I even got urinary tract infection from drinking the "recommended water dose" until I fond out I was actually seriously depleting my body of electrolytes. When the body's salinity is reduced bacteria tends to infect the bladder, and hence, adding sea salt almost instanteously stopped my urinaty tract infection as well. I seriously doubt that a distilled water would cure my urinary tract infection, at the same time no doctors in their right mind will put a distilled water intravenously either. Since taken anything internally is the similar in effect as intravenous IV, its likely that a water with some sea salt makes a lot more sense, whether we drink distilled water, or even some mineral water. Most of our sickness is not the salt, it comes from the common table salt, which it's is virtually depleted of minerals as well as aluminum silicate added, and its pH is an unnatural 5, instead of the sea salt's average pH of 7- 7.5. I therefore doubt any use of distilled water given that reason. At the very least I would consider a baby drinking distilled water unhealthy and deadly if I give anyone an intravenous distilled water instead of saline water.
Ted"
11/11/2009: Sri from Nyc, Ny replies: "Ted may want to correct the amount of molybdenum in the above suggestion. 50Mg/day is a lot of it. Also sodium molybdate appears to be a volatile compound. Thankfully, it is not available for consumption."

[YEA] 07/19/2008: Yvonne Vefik from Rocklin, CA writes: "After 10 years of suffering from food allergies.. and many prayers to God, I discovered Acidolphilus quite by accident. I broke out in large boil like bumps all over my face when ever I ate any dairy products. Milk, ice cream,cheese and yogart was elimnated from mmy diet. I constantly had antibiotic prescriptions from doctors for whenever I broke out.I was looking for an allergy cure and started taking acidolphilus. It cured my food allergies and now I enjoy ice cream and milk again! It took about 30 days to completely clear my face and then I kept taking it for a year. And it's cheap! What I discovered after doing research is that when you take too many antibiotics, it kills all of your bad and GOOD BACTERIA. SO the acidolphilus restored my good bacteria to fight infections!!! HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE! Oh! I sugggested this to my young teenager daughter-in-law who had pimples and she said her face cleared up right away and now she is also using it regularly!!

[SIDE EFFECTS] 07/29/2009: Bobo from Manama, Bahrain writes: "Dear All,
I was surfing the internet to find out if there are any natural remedies for nasal allergy. I have been suffering from this for almost 6 years and I feel terrible most of the days with blocked nose, sneezing, ear itches, head aches. I was very happy to find that ACV cures allergies and went to a store yesterday and bought ACV. I started from today morning by adding (1/8 cup of ACV to 16 ounce of water). Since I started drinking it, I feel that I sneeze more. I start immediattely after sipping the water+ACV mixture. Has anyone experienced the similar problem? Is it normal? Is it to with the type of ACV? Or is my mixture wrong?
Please help me with this as I am longing for a cure.
Bobo"

Saw the doctor and he prescribed me 3 different medicines (cost $100). I decided to try Apple Cider Vinegar and in about 1 week my headaches were gone, my congestion cleared up and no more allergy issues. I take 2 tablespoons mixed with orange juice every morning and do longer have any allergy issues. It's been 4 years now and the ACV is still working. I'd buy ACV even if it cost me $100 a bottle!"

[YEA] 03/18/2010: Chris from Auburn, Al writes: "First off, this is the most amazing site I've ever come across. I've had acute allergies for 10 years now. For the first 5 years, I just dealt with it, but as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. I usually end up bed ridden with sinusitis, fever, terrible headaches, etc. before all is better. The last 5 years, I have taken an antibiotic virtually every time I had an outbreak (about every 2 months), and everyone knows how bad that is for our bodies. Since I found the ACV cure a year ago, I've had ONE outbreak. I cured both of my last outbreaks without antibiotics in a matter of 3 or 4 days. I now drink ACV daily. While I still occasionally have itchy eyes or headaches, I rarely feel bad at all. Additionally, I had laryngitis, and mixed cayenne pepper w/ the ACV mixture, and cured it instantly. Thank you all so much for giving my life back.
My daily dosage, 2 TSP w/ 8 oz of water several times throughout the day.
When I'm sick, 2 TBLSP w/ 8 oz of water and 1/8 TSP cayenne pepper (for sore throat) several times throughout the day."

I was doing everything the Vet said, plus gentle baths, brushing, washing her bed lenin in special soaps. Then on Sunday I tried Apple Cider Vinegar. I used about 1/2 cup to a large glass of water. I poured it on her hips, tail area, upper and lower back. I noticed that she calmed down almost immediately. I have done the same thing on Monday and today, Tuesday. The dog is calm, sleeping and "thanking" me. I know she is saying, "Thanks, you finally got something to kill those mites on me."

I have had allergies most of my adult life and can never breathe through my nose. My allergies are to dust and everyday allergens, not seasonal. Without even expecting this effect, I immediately noticed I could breathe through nose after taking ACV. The first day it only lasted for about an hour. The second day I didn't keep track. After skipping the third day, today my sinuses have been clear for more than 6 hours. It also clears my head and makes me able to think more clearly, something I've noticed comes along with allergies. Anyway, I still have joint pain, but this is great for sinus problems and doesn't taste too bad."

I was desperately seeking a cure for my allergies.. after not being able to sleep through the night for the past few days due to pollen allergy. First, thinking all ACVs were all the same, I bought the regular kind (pasteurized & filtered). I felt better hours after taking the first shot. I slept through the night that night for the first time in a week.. I bought the unpasteurized one the next day.. I think both cure my allergy. I told everybody around me and so far, all of them cured from allergies, and these people no longer have to take allergy medication anymore. I love ACV!!!"

I finally went to a doctor this year to have the doctor take a look (I actually looked went to two docs). The tests they took showed I was allergic to almost every airborne allergen (95% of most airborne allergens, yikes!) I was seriously a running faucet and sneeze machine. I'd wake up sneezing, burn through toilet paper for wiping my nose. Basically, i was disgusting and I was completely bogged down for hay fever season. I started taking 3 shots of ACV a day. The first 10 days nothing and then all the sudden, on the 11th it was like a light switch. Everything stopped. I continued taking 3 shots a day for about a month and a half and am now down to 1 shot a day, which I am taking basically as a "just in case" shot. My allergies are completely eliminated. Not even a sniffle. I'm not sure how it works, but it 100% worked for me. Like a veil being lifted, a light turning on; it was a complete life change to be able to enjoy the seasons again :)"

I took 1 tbsp of ACV in 4 oz of warm water, drinking it down fast, then just rinsed my mouth with water and baking soda. I tell you, it was immediate relief! My mouth pain stopped and my blisters seemed to coat over. I had been taking a pain killer every 4 hours and it was not even touching the pain. I was so relieved I fell to sleep exhausted. I repeated the same dose 3 times a day and I am now 48 hours later. My blisters are completely gone! This is a miracle. Other episodes this has taken me 3 weeks to recover from. I am so excited! I have read and read peoples comments and suggestions, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I am eager to see if it helps other ailments I am having. Ie: hives, asthma. Please anyone who suffers from allergies, give ACV an honest try. Be brave!"

[YEA] 04/26/2009: Liz from Scranton, PA writes: "In the last few years, I have developed severe allergies-- almost debilitating during the warm weather. My face swells, eyes shut and itch--even my scalp itches, but worst of all is blowing my nose raw and the exhaustion from continuous sneezing, headaches and constant sore throat. Did I say that I was almost constantly miserable? I had lost all semblance of my carefree outdoor life.
In desperation, I tried every natural remedy and over-the-counter medicine I could buy, even doubling the doses--nothing has worked except slightly, perhaps, for an hour or two.
I have found so much help on this site in the past, so I came here again yesterday when an allergy attack was so severe, I could not continue to teach. My seventh graders kept asking, "What's wrong, Ms.? What's wrong?"
Going over your allergy remedies again, I could not help but marvel at all the people who were getting such tremendous relief from apple cider vinegar. I had tried it before with little benefit, and I was just wishing, "If only it would work for me!"
Suddenly, it dawned on me! Maybe I'm not using enough vinegar! Maybe I'm not using it often enough? I started to use about two good splashes of raw apple cider vinegar to about three ounces of water (less than 1/2 cup). On the counter, ready and waiting, I had mixed 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and a little water (Thanks Ted). Quickly I slugged the vinegar and water (strong but bearable this way). Then immediately swished my mouth with the baking soda and water to protect my teeth. Swallowed a little of this for my stomach. I did this on the hour, about four times, and about 11:00 PM, I started to notice some relief.
I took the cider vinegar once during the night and again upon rising. Then I noticed right away that all my allergy symptoms had subsided considerably. I used the intensified method five or six times the next day and felt so well on the third day that I dropped the "treatment" back to 4 times. I feel human again! I feel wonderful! I can smell flowers and cut my grass without a handkerchief tied to my nose By the way, my nose is not red and swollen, my eyes are open and clear. The sore throat that I have had constantly for months and months is finally gone! THIS IS A MIRACLE WORTH PRAISING GOD ABOUT!
PLEASE! PLEASE! ANYONE WHO DID NOT FIND THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR TREATMENT FOR ALLERGIES TO WORK, TRY IT AGAIN AT MUCH HIGHER DOSAGES AND FREQUENCY.
It may be all you need to do to tweak this remedy and get your life back. I still can't believe how good I feel. Thank you Earth Clinic! So glad you're here for all of us!
Liz"

[QUESTION] 04/20/2009: Kimberly Tranor from Bishop, Ca writes: "Found your site about 7 months ago when looking for alternative allergy treatments so I could get off of those horrible prescription medications I'd been on for years. I Tried the ACV, and I was med free after 1 week! This is like a miracle to me - it's changed my life! And have not been sick with a cold or flu since then either......
My question is this: Typically I drink 2 tbsp. with 16 oz of water 2 - 3 times/ day. Now that spring is here, I am noticing that I am sneezy again with itchy eyes, etc. it seems to help if I add an extra dose of ACV - or drink a little when needed to stop an acute attack. Is this unwise to be drinking so much? Will it have any long term bad effects? I simply refuse to go back on any allergy medication this year.
Thanks!"

I am a business owner and can not afford to be out of the office. I just mixed up a batch of blackberry tea (helps with the taste), 3 Tablespoons of ACV (always a beliver of more is better), and a 1 Tablespoon of honey. Well, as soon as I took my first sip, I had to blow my nose. I have now finished my first glass and feel like getting out of bed and going to work.

[YEA] 02/13/2009: Linda from Erlanger, Ky writes: "Hello, I have tried to drink the ACV with water in the morning and it seems to upset my stomach, so it occured to me the other day to try it in the evening after dinner, so I did. I have only been doing this for the past 3 days but I can tell you that it does not bother my stomach and I do only sip my water not gulp it down at once. I also mix a little organic lemon juice in mine to add flavor and just a few drops of liquid stevia to sweeten. I think I am sleeping better and I dont seem to have the sneezing episodes quite as much as I have been having during the day at work. I work in an office and handle alot of paper and files during my work day which I think adds to my sneezing but it has eased up some since I began doing this at night."

I will keep this up! Also going to go on Ted's common sense and easy to use "allergy buster" diet. Will it help me tolerate the gorgeous oak trees around my house? We'll see but so far, I'm SO GRATEFUL for the reader feedback on the ACV. It helped me try this folk remedy, which so far is helping a lot. THANKS ALL."

[YEA] 12/25/2008: K from Chicago, IL writes: "I am in my early twenties and over the past 3-4 years I developed severe allergies. The cause of the allergies was difficult to pin down, but one major culprit was the dust mite. In addition to respiratory symptoms I also found myself breaking out severely with eczema on my face, hands, arms, shoulders, and occasionally other spots. The breakouts would come and go, I could never fully figure out how to get them under control and did not want to rely on harsh steriodal ointments and medications. About a year and a half ago I began to drink apple cider vinegar after having read about it on earthclinic. I would take about 2 tablespoons twice a day diluted in juice and water, sometimes tea. I am convinced that without the ACV my severe breakouts would still be going on. They have not completely stopped but the difference is like night and day. Whenever I accidentally skip a dose or two or ACV I can see my skin becoming worse. Thank the heavens for ACV it has been like a miracle. I cannot as readily attest to whether it has aided me with other health issues."
