how fast do you have to drink the water, apple cider, lemon cocktail? Thanks
I’ve been drinking this cocktail for years to clear my sinuses. I did not know it was the reason I stopped having allergies after we adopted a cat, I just thought that I got used to her. Thank you so much!🤍🤍
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It works wonders for me. :-)
How much water/lemon juice and apple cider vinegar are you drinking? How much of each? And how often
Just got a cat before yesterday. I get itchy burning hands itchy nose eyes and swollen eyes and lips that get sore. So I have to take an antihistamine and wash my hands after touching my cat. However I might re-sell her as it’s just not comfortable.
I'm sick, living in my house, with three dogs, my families love for "dogville" is killing me! This dog culture is insane! Thanks for the tip!
Oh no, so sorry you’re allergic to your dogs! Keep me updated to let me know if any of the tips help.
How did it go?
You just saved me. I got my son a puppy and I'm allergic to it. I couldn't breath and I tried this it helped almost instantly combined with my medication. The allergy meds just controlled it a bit this literally let me breath for the first time in 4 days.
Love this! So happy it worked for you. Thank you for watching. Sending hugs. 🤗
Shout out to you for not taking away your son’s puppy and figuring out a way to make it work. You’re the GOAT
Number 1 job for your son is to brush the dog outside a nice bonding job for a kid to brush the dog and older kids can bathe the dog that will stop you reacting while brushing or washing the dog and both those things will help your allergies but doing them yourself will flare up your allergies I hope you can manage cos pets are such a good thing for kids my dad was allergic to cats and let us have one with certain rules and responsibilities bless him he had to live in allergy medication but we loved that cat sooooo much
Great tip on the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and water.
Thank you !
You’re welcome. If you give it a try let me know how it works for you : )
Awesome info , thank you for sharing !
Good presentation. No nonsense and smart and kind!
Thank you so much for your feedback. And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I sneeze and get itchy eyes/throat when clean houses with dogs it gets worse with cats, I'm trying this drink this week, I already drink apple cider and it cuts all mucus, I know sounds bad but hey we're humans and have so many fluids.
Angela you ways come up with something new and interesting, thanks for your effort to help others.
I appreciate you writing in and sharing your thoughts on apple cider vinegar. ❤️
I absolutely love your channel. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the love. 💛
thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!!
Thankyou so much for the tips!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Oh my gosh, I’m going to do this in the morning! Wish me luck! Thank you!
Good luck, keep us posted!!!😍
@@AskAngelaBrown
Wow!!!! I’m so happy I found out about this!!! I have been clear for 3 days now!! Thank you 🙏 😊
This is the 12th video I've researched today and Im crying because I feel there is hope and I'm so tired of being allergic to this beautiful cat we took in because it was cold out and I feel nobody here cares and I'm MISERABLE. Thank you for this video❤️
God bless you for caring for this lovely animal. May the love and compassion you give it be returned to you. Thanks for watching and reaching out. 💛
Hi! Can I ask, if you tried it, and if it worked? 😊
I kept gagging. Can't do vinegar unfortunately. Bathing the cat DID work. I could hold the cat and pet her. We need to wash her again Because I've been getting allergic all over again but Bathing absolutely worked for me and I'm highly allergic
@Animal lover what did you use to bathe the cat? I didn't used to be allergic to my cat but as I've aged I am now.
Thank you, Good to know!! Will give it a shot! My brother is cat allergic. 😊
Lots of people have pet allergies. This really helps. :-)
You're such an angel thank-you so much
You are too kind...thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much ! You just saved me from not being able to stop my stuffed nose!
I’m so glad the video helped out and relieved your stuffy nose. 👍
Angela. I'l so glad I found your video. Thanks! May I ask, how many bottles of the drink do you consumer every day? Do you also drink it on your days off? Thanks.
Every day, she said
From what I understand, the allergen load eventually reaches a maximum, and that is when you experience the very worst of your allergic symptoms. After it will start all over again, building and building. Basically this happens in perpetuity as long as you are being exposed chronically.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this information!
This is so helpful thank you I’m about to tackle the upstairs of our home after realising I’m reacting to a new puppy
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
@@AskAngelaBrown I started drinking your mix it really helps my sinuses and I just got covid a few days ago and started drinking more of it and it’s helping with that too I do find that I have to gargle with something like baking soda or a bit of mylanta or take a tums antacid to neutralise the acid from the vinegar on my teeth as drinking a lot of this and letting it sit on teeth can cause damage to them while I’m having a lot of it right now with covid I find it works better with warm water which is pretty bad tasting but the heat and the concoction really eases my congestion and throat pain. The gargling with a little baking soda also tastes gross but it’s cheap lol also baking soda and non iodised salt is what is used in nasal/sinus rinses so if people are really suffering using a sinus rinse 3 teaspoons of sea salt or himalaya salt just not table salt and 1 tsp baking soda is the same as those little sachets of sinus rinse powder people pay a fortune for and is a great natural way to rinse any trapped allergens from sinuses which is an old allergy trick that cuts down on reactions if people cannot avoid allergens like with hay fever symptoms the ratio of this powder mix is 250ml warm water to 1/2 tsp of this mix you can make it weaker or stronger depending on how you cope with it. Then follow the instructions on the neti pot or sinus rinse thing you have also called nasal rinse it just means you can make your own solution to put in the neti pot it’s extremely effective if your all clogged up with a cold or flu or allergies and it’s a great way to cut down on your reactions to allergies you can’t avoid if you do it once a day
Is it ok to ask a home owner to put their pet into another room when I go to clean . I am trying to start my own cleaning business and I have a great fear of especially dogs due to being bitten before. When I cleaned for another agency in the past they told me to never ask a home owner to put their pets in another room as their pets are like family. i do understand this as I have had my own dogs but I trained them so I wasn't afraid of them. I also went to one home and they forgot to leave keys so our manager told us to go over the gate in the back yard with a pitbull and another dog. Umm that was the day I quit. Although a dog may know the person when it comes to their territory it could have turned out really ugly . Anyway thanks for your input in this matter.
Thank you, I’m going to try this. I just got a puppy and I’m allergic. I’m not getting rid of him so we’ll see how it goes.
Thanks so much for reaching out. Do you know about Allersearch? (paid link www.amazon.com/shop/angelabrown/list/1KUCJ084YYFN0?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d they have a whole line of products for people who suffer from pet dander allergies. They make it possible for families with allergic members to live with pets. 😍
Gonna try this with my daughter. She developed allergies to our cats after we lived in a moldy home. But our felines are family and we both agree they stay! Been doing the sublingual antigen drops along with allergy meds with minimal benefit after 2 years. We will try this remedy. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 !!
Allergies stink!! Finger crossed that this helps your daughter. Sending prayers. 🙏
@@AskAngelaBrown thanks. She’s been taking a cups worth daily for several days now and no improvement. Maybe she should add a second serving
@@AllThingsConsidered333 Did this help?
@@dharvidogra6042 we haven’t stuck with it long enough to see. The few days she did do it tho it didn’t have any effect..
But my girl has MCAS from mold which has caused much dry inflammation. She often doesn’t have congestion due to mucus so maybe that’s why.
@@AllThingsConsidered333at that point ur sacrificing ur daughters health to keep ya cats around?
Just got a cat before yesterday. I get itchy burning hands itchy nose eyes and swollen eyes and lips that get sore. So I have to take an antihistamine and wash my hands after touching my cat. However I might re-sell her as it’s just not comfortable.
Pet allergies are more common than you might realize. For the sake of your health and the love of the cat, please find the cat a new safe home. You will be miserable every day even if you don't touch your cat. Pet dander will be all over your home.
Do you have methods for cleaning a place FOR someone who has pet allergies? My roommate previously owned a cat, so her clothes and furniture have leftover cat dander, which leads to the whole apartment having cat dander. I have made a point to clean the area so my best friend can still come visit, but she's extremely allergic to cats. So much so that she's out of commission for a week or so. Once or twice she has ended up in the hospital.
Angela Brown 😮 I would very much appreciate that, thank you!! 😃
@@AskAngelaBrown Did you make the video? I'd be interested.
This is what I was looking for a video like this too

THANK YOU 😭😭
Any tips for emptying the vacuum bag I find the dust and hair and all the stuff in the vacuum container puffs up into my face and onto my hands emptying it is there a cleaning except secret to emptying a vacuum cleaner without it going into the air even if I wear a mask it gets into the air and into my eyes and that makes them crazy itchy
To minimize dust and allergens when emptying your vacuum, wear a mask and empty it outdoors if possible
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you emptying it outside into the large outdoor bin helped a lot I think I need to clean those filters though I think that might be half the problem why when I open the vacuum it puffs up dust the filters look like they need cleaned or replaced I don’t suppose it’s much use having filters in the vacuum if you don’t maintain and replace them when needed I’ve just not never thought of it and because I empty it with my head turned away and eyes all squinted cos of my allergies I didn’t see how bad they were.
What about ShihTzu's and Poodles (who are supposed to be hypo-allergenic)? Do they still bother you?
BTW...I swear by the mixture you just explained but not because of allergies but because I have Lupus and I truly believe it helps me feel better. I also take medications and I "hope" it helps filter my kidneys/liver. I found it on UA-cam or online awhile ago and have been doing it for years.
You definitely must have severe allergies or my friends have minor allergies because my ShihTzu doesn't really bother them very much at all. Although he does go to the groomer regularly also.
I think there's several factors on severity of reaction as well. If someone is brushing their dog (outside) regularly and vacuuming their dog hair, if there is any, regularly. I mean just because you have a cleaning service doesn't mean you don't have to clean up after your pets!
I had a miniature poodle for years. He was considered hypo-allergenic. He still made me sneeze if I didn't bathe him every week or whenever he would get dirty. Keeping regular short hair cuts helped too.
You can also try fresh thymian infusions
Thanks for the suggestion!
I was literally hours from giving away my Goffin breed cockatoo and found this. It’s worth the try.
Hope this helps!❤
Thank you. I’m going to try this. But that real lemon juice is not real not is also full of sulfite preservatives. Which I’m allergic too. Luckily there are alternatives but just wanted to let you know. In case others are allergic to sulfites.
You're welcome! And thank you for sharing the information, I appreciate it!
Just watched the video now and will try to have this drink few times in a day. Let’s see how it goes. I’ll update you guys.
Give it a try Ankit! I hope it works for you, like it did for me.
Any updates?
Ok I am going to try your advice because it makes sense what you explain, beside it is true I don’t look healthy people think I am sick because it is how I look… I will try for a month if works I will give you 👍🏻otherwise I will give you just my results 😊thank you
Thank you and good luck!
I wonder if it helps to just spritz it into the air with a spray
You raise a good point! I haven't tried spraying it in the air myself, but vinegar and lemon juice can be acidic. For safety, it's best to avoid these products around furniture
OMG.... Nothing helps me. I've tried everything. I scratch for 3 days & nights straight. It's not normal scratching.... It feels like bugs are under my skin and it's uncontrollable.. I can't go anywhere a dog or cat has been. I can't hug people with animals.... Can't get in cars.... Nothing. You can't bring things in my home that has been around dander. If I touch it for a second, I'm done
I am so sorry to hear about your severe allergy to pets. Please be sure to take extra precautions when around pet owners. Knowledge of allergies have become more mainstream so more people understand why us allergy sufferers do what we have to do to be able to breathe. 🤗
The drink concoction increases your stomach acid...I believe that is actually why the allergy is decreased.
Thank you for sharing this tip!👍
Its the dog skin or dander that causes allergies. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the info. and thanks for watching. Glad to know the video was helpful.
People having stomach problem like indigetion etc use this?
Yes, oddly enough, stomach acid is 1.5 to 3.5 on the pH scale and the lemon juice is about a 2, and the apple cider vinegar is 2-3. So it blends right in with stomach acids without any side effects other than it tastes nasty.
How much it should be taken daily?
If my allergies are really bad I drink 2 oz of Apple cider vinegar and 2 oz of lemon juice mixed with 12 ounces of water. And if I've got a sore throat and feel fluish - I'll heat the water part before mixing and drink it like hot tea.
I was always allergic to cats. I let my older kids have them and just took claritin daily. I helped my oldest son's widow & daughters move this past September because her lease was up and still no issue even though they have 4 cats and a bunny. I didn't even take a pill that day. And my grandkitty is a big extra fluffy one.
Oct 5th I got bronchitis. October 15th I walked into my doctor's office and the moment I opened the door I got hit by a cloud of strong perfume. I swear the woman wore a whole bottle. Instantly my reactive airway slammed shut & I knew within 48 hours I would have chemical pneumonia again. Right on the tail end of that hospital stay we gave my youngest the kitten she had been begging for for her birthday. Bad idea. Apparently due to the pneumonia my allergy is now life threatening. It's not just dander I am allergic to it is their saliva and this kitten hissed at my dog and her cat toys all the time. She was only here for a week before we realized it wasn't just my pneumonia. I was covered in a rash and my palm, cleavage & cheek were blistered. I was so allergic to her my cleavage blistered through sweaters. For the last month I have lived in constant anaphylaxis. I have coded once and gone into shock twice. I now have to live on rescue inhalers, Neb treatments, epipens & no matter what allergy pill I take even the prescription ones don't last more than 3 hours. This has gotten dangerously worse. It started out wearing off at 7 hours. Just 3 days ago it was still 4 hours. Now it wears off at 3 hours. I start to itch and within 2 minutes my throat closes. We have dusted, vacuumed and scrubbed from ceiling to floor. Steam cleaned the furniture etc. As a nurse and in home health care worker I have cleaned this house to sanitary medical standards. I left for a weekend so my husband and another nurse friend could clean the house even wash ALL the clothes and bedding. The moment I walked in my airway slammed shut and we hit my epipen. I have had to use so many epipens and rescue inhalers my insurance company has now refused to pay for anymore.
Please give us advice on what we may be missing. Do we need to scrub with something other than white vinegar or Mr Clean? We don't have central air, we live in his grandparents old home so we have nooks and crannies we have done everything we can think of to clean. Do we need to paint? We have 2 air purifiers and one stays beside me always. I also keep my bedside window open half way no matter the temp outside and I still can't breathe. When I leave for Dr appointments I can breathe a little better after awhile but the moment I walk in my door the heaviness slams my chest and within 10 minutes every symptom is back. Within an hour I may hit my epipen. This house is literally killing me but we have no recourse, I have to live here. Please help
I am so sorry to hear about your health problems. I recommended you troubleshoot with your allergist to see what you could be missing. Also, I wonder if you have an allergy to mold?
I found this information for you:

I wish you the best for a speedy solutions to your allergic reactions. Sending you hugs and prayers. 🤗 🙏
Check and see if you have a hiatal hernia also...it could be a sliding one. If it gets inflamed when you enter your house it seems like a regular asthma attack but it is the hernia and the allergies aggravates it.
I had the same problem as you and it I got no relief until my chiropractor diagnosed this and we worked on pulling that down. After that I was able to taper down some of the medicine. Before that I was in and out of the hospital and on the nebulizer every 3 hours or less. With other stuff in between. Now, I'm just trying to get better.
Get a mold inspection company to go over your house, and if you do have mold, they can fumigate the house, they can tell where is the mold and what to do to get rid of it.
Wow, that's scary stuff. I hope you can find a solution soon
@@AskAngelaBrown This was a great article. Thanks!
Do you drink the whole bottle everyday?
The 16oz bottle of water +Apple Cider + Lemon juice? Yes. It's kept me very healthy. I usually have a few sips here and there. I don't drink it all in one big swig. 😝
@@AskAngelaBrowndoes this work when people have birds as well ?
I’m Allergic to cats and dust mites will have to give that a try, thanks😁👍🏻
Good luck and keep me posted on the results. 🤗
Did it work?
Did it work? For allergies for pet dander?
Shameless plug: Many people have had great success with our Allerpet product especially if bathing your Cat does not sound like a fun idea.
Thanks for the tip. We'll have to check out your channel. :-)
Unfortunately I can’t get allerpet in New Zealand but I see the brand telfast has the same active ingredient 180mg in it. The lady at the pharmacy said this was more for skin allergies not for pet dander etc. what are your thoughts? I would think if it has the same active ingredient as allerpet which seems to give people relief that it should work the same?
Sir, don’t own pets if you’re allergic
YES! This! Excellent advice. 👍👏👍
I couldn’t stop watching your allergic face
LOL. Yeah, about that...it's not pretty when my eyes swell up and my face is puffy like a balloon or my sinuses are so clogged I can't breathe. Not to mention that when I can't breathe and my eyes are bloodshot I'm just flat out miserable to be around. 😝😝😝
Or if one is actually severely allergic to pets, use antihistamines. Tablets, nasal sprays, eye drops etc. Use prior to entering the home.
Or, wear a face mask. Which is what I do when vacuuming.
If someone has legitimate and severe allergies, they should be taking advantage of the available treatments that are proven to work.
Thanks for sharing your tips and for watching the video, I appreciate it!
Maybe you are really allergic to Fel d1, not the animals themselves.
Thanks for the info!
