Earlier this week, I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection in the back of my throat and was prescribed antibiotics...which was a hit to my health ego because I eat well but somehow caught this bug. Along with this, I developed this awful sinus infection. Horrible headaches, watery eyes, no sleep, and non-stop discomfort accompanied this! I went to the health food store and bought some nasal spray and sublingual sinus relief tablets, both of which didn't work. While suffering at work, I came across this web site and read about Apple Cider Vinegar. While excited to try this for my Sinus infection, I ate an apple as a snack. Within an hour, my sinus symptoms decreased by 60%. When I came home, I had some ACV with water and within another hour, the symptoms decreased some more. Right now, it's almost time for bed and my Sinus Infection is 90% gone and just three hours ago, I was suffering!! The apple helped and the ACV sealed the deal on this Sinus stuff! Awesome!

Hello! I have been dealing with chronic sinus problems and infections for almost 20 years now. I've had three sinus operations (two which did help some for a while) and I've been on just about every antibiotic there is available. I had just finished my first round of the latest antibiotic treatment, when I realized my infection was not completely gone. So, with a heavy sigh, I once again contacted my doctor to get some more medication. Feeling very frustrated and tired with having to deal with this for so many years, I decided to do some research on-line for other options and new treatments. I found the EarthClinic website and the ACV remedy options. I was a little skeptical at first, but after reading all the positive responses, I decided it wouldn't hurt for me to give it a try. I started doing the ACV remedies on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd, and after just the first day I noticed a HUGE difference in how my sinuses felt! Within 1/2 an hour of drinking my first mixture of 2 tbsp of ACV with 8oz of water, my sinuses started to drain and the pressure and headache starting going away! I followed up with doing the 1/4 cup of ACV in 16oz of water and sipped it all morning at work. Later that evening, I did another 2 tbsp of AVC with 8oz of water again. I slept great that evening and woke up feeling great the next morning! No headache, no pressure, and more energy than I had had in a long time. I've continued doing the same thing all this week, and today, Oct. 2nd I have more energy and I feel great! I'm going to finish out the week by doing the same treatments and slowly taper them off after a week. I'll have to admit, the taste is not the greatest, but it's a very small price to pay for something that works so great! Not to mention the fact that it's so much less expensive as well compared to all the prescriptions and over-the-counter meds that I've been taking for years! From now on, when I start to get a cold or feel like my sinuses are heading towards another infection, I definitely will start using the ACV remedy again! SPECIAL NOTE: Carefully check the label of the Apple Cider you purchase. Be sure you get the pure Apple Cider Vinegar and not the types that have water added that dilutes it, or have what's labeled as artificial "flavorings".

I have had chronic sinus problems for years now. Antibiotics work but a week after I take them my problems come back. I have been desperate for holistic solutions. I use a neti pot daily which helps alot. Today I saw this web site and thought I would try ACV and see how it did. With in a half hour my swelling went down and I finally had a LARGE amount of discharge within that time. I am totally surprised how fast a reaction I had to this. Growing up my grandmother and great aunt would take ACV and honey twice a day, I thought it was silly but now i'm wishing I tried this sooner, it really has worked. I'm gonna keep taking the ACV and see how it works over time. I get a sinus infection to some degree just about every month, I'm fed up. Its amazing how something as simple as ACV can have such a quick response time.

I usually get 3 sinus infections a year that start off as allergies then my sinuses clog and the drainage goes down the back of my throat and down into my chest. Then it goes into full blown bronchitis. I can't take antibiotics anymore - I took so many doses over the past 10 years I don't think they work on me anymore. Today - with a clogged head, nasal drainage, stuffy nose, sore throat, chest cough - I tried ACV. Did the 2 Tbls. with water - chugged it and it does seem to be helping me. Within 1 hour the sinus pressure diminished and all my drainage stopped. I'm going to use ACV with hot tea next time - the taste is pretty gross but if this stuff works - I'll continue to drink it! So far it's helping! I'm the queen of major sinus infections and bronchitis so if this cure works on me it's gotta work on others! Life is miserable when you've got a sinus infection that's for sure! Good luck to anyone who uses ACV!

It's been a few months since I gave an update, however, the results are simply amazing. I take raw unfiltered ACV, 1/8 cup 3x a day. My sinus infections are all history, but that's not the reason I'm writing. About 2 weeks ago, I stepped on the scales. I have lost 30 pounds. I weighed 220 pounds in April, and I now weigh 190. Of course, the ACV isn't the only thing I do, however it was definitely the catalyst in giving me the energy to move forward. I drink a gallon or more of pure water a day. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and I'm still losing weight. Most of the weight (about 20 pounds), was lost during a period when I was doing NO exercise. I've lost 2 waist sizes. My wife is jealous!!! I keep telling her what she needs to do, but she says the thought of drinking ACV is just too disgusting. So, she gets to watch me buy a new wardrobe in a few weeks. Thank you EarthClinic for being here when I needed you back in April. You have truly changed my life. In addition, I've spread the news about the life altering experiences I have had through this site, so it's touched even more people. Keep the faith all, and remember... none of this worked "overnight". It took 3 days of ACV to lose my initial severe sinus infection. And if I go more than 3 days without using the ACV, I can tell a HUGE difference... as the sinuses start plugging up again, and I start getting tooth pain. I will drink ACV for the rest of my life! God willing, it'll be a long one. :)

I've had this horrible sinus infection for weeks now. I have a long history of them but have been able to keep it under control for the past few years... though I still have difficulty with my sinuses, I am generally able to keep them draining enough that an infection doesn't fester. Anyway, for the past month or so, I've felt awful and haven't understood the flare up. So, here I come, looking for some kind of hope and find the info about apple cider vinegar. Now, I know that ACV is great stuff, but hadn't realized that it helped sinuses. So, as soon as I read about it, I went to the kitchen and gulped down 2T of it with 8oz of water. I am sooo pleased to say that my sinuses immediately began to drain - yucky thick mucous down my throat - but, hey, that is a relief with what I've been feeling! The pressure is somewhat relieved already!!! I'm so excited! What's more, I then read on and found the ice cream theory... And, without much surprise, I am sure enough able to link my recent sinus troubles to two rounds of ice cream! I had not eaten ice cream with "flavors" such as these in a long time prior to this, so it really fits for me! My troubles all started with a trip to COLDSTONE Creamery and shortly thereafter worsened upon consumption of some CARVEL brand ice cream cake!!!

i had a terrible sinus infection and decided to try the apple cider vinegar remedy. I read all the feedback from others and it seemed great. But, i think i might not have did it correctly because i got the worse stomach ache i have ever had in my life, accompanied by nausea and finally vomiting. No one else complained of this so i figured it was me. What do you guys think? ps, did not help with sinus infection either

I battle sinus infections about 3 times a year. I just went through a body detox plan for a week to remove chemicals from my body & wouldn't you know, I got a sinus infection on my 7th day of detox. I really didn't want to take antibiotics. I found this site & thought that this was a sign that I didn't need antibiotics. No such luck. I tried the ACV while irrigating with a saline solution. Basically when your mucous is green, it is bacterial. Bacteria multiplies at such a rate i think it would be almost impossible to knock it out of your system. So i am sad to report that i have to go on antibiotics to get some relief. BUT...i will continue with the ACV & irrigation to perhaps speed up the process.

Like many others, I believe that milk causes many problems and creates more mucus in the body. It never really stopped me from eating it - I just "knew" it. But I'm not a big milk product consumer anyway. A slice of cheese here and there. A little cream in my coffee. But my weakness is ice cream. Generally - I prefer a single brand "Breyers" that I can't recall having problems with, but occassionally - I'll take my daughter out for a treat somewhere. One day we were out and stopped for lunch - on a whim, I got a milk-shake. A rare treat for me. Inside of 24 hours - I started to feel sick. My husband - an EMT (a PURE organic eater and non-milk drinker), swore I had the flu. But it never *felt* like the flu to me. About 24 hours into the "flu" I started looking up info about ACV - something I'd researched before after suffereing a horrible bout of food poisoning a year earlier. I found this site and originally discounted what it had to say. *I* hadn't eaten any ice cream! Then I REALLY thought about what I'd been eating - and yep, I remembered the milk shake. AH... I started right in on the ACV and within 24 hours felt better. Yep - it was truly an allergic reation I was having. I've gotten several friends (who were suffereing with sinus problems for weeks) to try the ACV as well and they ALL report great improvement. I've stayed away from commercial ice cream since then (but I still get my milk in my coffee) and I can report a clear sinus passage with nary an infection again. I learned my lesson! And I keep a supply of ACV at ALL times.

I have been drinking 1/4 cup of ACV straight now 3 times a day for 3 days. Has really helped my maxillary sinuses and sore throat from post nasal drip. I think I can avoid seeing the Dr. for antibiotics! I plan to continue this remedy.

The Mayo Clinic came out with a report some time ago that all sinus infections are caused by yeast overgrowth. That's why ACV is working for alot of you. I am now doing ACV as well as FiveLac. Love this website!

I have been suffering from sinusitis on & off for 4 months now which flared up again this week. I can't see my doctor for 2 weeks & a wait at the hospital can be anywhere from 3 - 9 hours. So I thought I would check the net & found this site. I was amazed at the wealth of information I found here on my problem (I believe now I also have Candida which causes the sinus infection). This particular flare up started about 23 hours after eating ice cream but I thought it was something I picked up when my family was here & they weren't feeling well. I went straight to town to get some ACV & when I got home & tried it I was amazed at the immediate result! Within 10 minutes I could feel my sinuses starting to drain! This morning was my third round of it & I actually found a way to drink it that tasted good. I used 2 tbsp of ACV, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 cup apple juice & 1/4 cup water. I forgot the honey but it tasted good. The only question I have is, is the honey important or just for taste?

On Wednesday, March 7th, I woke up with a maxillary sinus infection, after fighting a cold for about a week and a half. I called my doctor to request antibiotics, but before he had a chance to call me back, I got online to research some natural cures. I came upon your site, and decided I had nothing to lose. I took my first dose of ACV, 1/4 cup (which I mixed with about 1 cup of White Grape Raspberry juice), around 3:00 pm. Ten minutes later, I was breathing for the first time in ten days and I could feel the pressure under my cheek bones and the pain in my tooth (common with maxillary sinus infections) dissipating! I thought it must have been a fluke. I started feeling a little more pressure coming on later in the evening, so I took another dose at 8:00 pm. I woke up Thursday morning totally clear, and the sinus infection was GONE!!! I took three doses on Thursday "just incase" and one dose Friday (also "just incase"). The ACV was definitely not the best thing I'd ever tasted. It was MUCH worse when I mixed it with more juice. After the first dose, I found mixing the ACV with an equal amount of juice (1/4 cup juice, 1/4 cup ACV) was much easier to take. Plug your nose, drink it down, and chase it with plain juice. I have already recommended this to a dozen people and I've only known about it for five days!

Yes the ACV does work to get the mucous moving and draining again. I usually do the ACV, and Vitamin C from Garden of Life, and the biggest help I've found so far has been a Nasal Irrigator (google it), since I started using the irrigator I no longer need to get antibiotics in which I was almost living off of previously. Also when having a sinus infection NO - MILK, SUGAR OR BREAD.

ACV made my asthma worse as well. I tried it only twice but it did nothing for my clogged sinus
