[YEA] 03/22/2008: Daniel from Shanghai, China writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey remedy cured my chronic cough. I happened upon this site randomly during another one of my sleepless nights, desperately searching about how to stop this very intense, nagging cough I have been suffering with for 3 months now. It supposedly started as a side effect from a heart medication - Lisinopril. My doctor had given me all sorts of medications, inhalers, decongestants, anti-histamines, cough syrups, etc but nothing helped. Well, when I read about apple cider vinegar & honey I thought there is no way this could solve my problem, much less even help. I completely dismissed it. Another 2 weeks went by and I was at wits end, so I picked up a bottle of apple cider vinegar and jar of honey, came up and mixed them together, drank it and guess what? I'm cough free! I am quite sure my doctor will give me one of those dismissive looks when I tell her about it and will chalk it up to coincidence, but I know the truth! It is shocking how effective this is and mind boggling to me as to how it works, but it does. Thank you to everyone who posted this and to whomever created this site - you made a huge difference in my life!"

[YEA] 03/17/2008: Samantha from Surrey, British Columbia writes: "I've had a horrible cough for the past four nights. It keeps me up well into the night, extremely painful and sometimes I feel like I'm going to throw up. So I looked online for a remedy and came across the recipe for AVC and honey on this website. I tried two tablespoons of AVC and 1 tablespoon of honey and it soothed my cough greatly. Now, I must admit, it tastes horrible, but it works! And it's worth it."

[NAY] 03/01/2008: Jessica from KC, MO writes: "Unfortunately, the ACV and honey remedy for cough did not work for me. I have a nasty flu virus that has been making its rounds in my family for a month. I was the latest casualty, and needed something to help get rid of the cough that is making my entire body hurt. I put 2 T of the ACV (organic w/ mother) and 2T of honey and drank it all. It tasted terrible, and I kept on coughing! Wish it worked for me like it has for others!"

[YEA] 02/26/2008: Ashely Kwon from San Francisco, CA writes: "Okay, so I tried this ACV mix with Honey to cure this cough I've had for about 3 weeks. I have to say, the taste is absolutely horrible but the remedy does work. Within minutes, my cough was gone. I took just 2 tbsp of ACV and 1 tbsp of honey. You should try it, but be warned, the bitter taste and strong smell is not for the weak!"

[YEA] 02/08/2008: kirit from mission viejo, ca writes: "Just wanted to thank everyone who had shared their ACV with honey experiment to cure the cough.

I took two table spoon of ACV with one tablespoon of honey.And...wolla! the cough almost instantly went away!! I encourage any skeptics of home made remedies to at least give it a try."

[YEA] 02/04/2008: Tricia from Denver, CO writes: "I had a coughing spout for days; I do not like taking synthetic medicines so I went online and found this awesome site. I decided to try the ACV and honey mixture (2 Tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar and 1 Tbsp of organic raw honey). Wow...what a miracle. Literally, my coughing stopped instantly and I was actually able to fall asleep. The coughing would normally come back within 3-5 hours, but another dose of the ACV & honey stopped it in its tracks. My boyfriend also had a coughing spout recently (later found out it was bronchitis), so I gave him the mixture. It immediately helped him also. Although his cough returned much sooner than mine did, but at least his chest and lungs had a chance to rest."

[YEA] 01/23/2008: Fonda from Federalway, WA writes: "I want to thank you for this website. Last 7 years every time I would get a cold it would go straight into a full blown cronic cough for at least 2 to 3 months. The doctors have gave me the highest dose of cough syrup, inhalers, steroids and it wouldn't touch it. So last night i finally was desperate, because i had not slept in 4 days. so i saw that people were using apple cider vinegar with honey. I didn't have the honey, so i just took 2 tbls of apple cider vinegar and with in 1/2 hour I had relief. I have been taking it every 2 to 3 hours and within 16 hours my cough is minimal. After all those Dr visits and money,I have found something that works. Thanks again."

[YEA] 12/31/2007: Maureen from Cambridgeshire, England writes: "I had a sore throat for about 4 days and the tickly cough was driving me crazy. In desperation I trawled the internet and found your site and the ACV remedy. Luckily I had a bottle of ACV in the cupboard and so I tried it with honey dissolved in a small amount of water. It was horrible to swallow but the results were almost instant. The annoying cough has now mostly gone and I had a good nights sleep. My throat still feels a little 'lumpy' but its bearable now. Thanks to all who posted the remedy."

[YEA] 12/12/2007: Angela from Solihull, West Midlands writes: "My 8 year old son has had a very bad cough for days now. In desperation during the night, I stumbled on your website. I tried the ACV and honey recipe, 50/50 and although it seemed to work for a short while it did not last. However, I tried again with only a spoonful of ACV and the results were fantastic. My father in law who is Greek swears that garlic, honey and vinegar are natures best natural medecines. He says we should all take a spoonfull of each once every day to stay healthy."

[YEA] 10/11/2007: Ginger from Wadsworth, us writes: "My 6 year old daughter was coughing uncontrollably EVERY 2 seconds yesterday. She has allergies and a cough that accompanies it. Her allergies and cough lasts throughout the school year. However, yesterday she sounded like she had bronchitis. The cough was non- stop. I was very desperate for a solution for her cough. I stumbled across the site and went out and bought Apple Cider Vinegar. I tried the remedy and it worked. Today I bought _ Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother" and THAT DID IT. It has been 20 mins now AND NO COUGH. I am SO AMAZED I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOF TOP. I have spent so much money on cough syrups that DON'T WORK... this is all it took.

[YEA] 10/05/2007: Elsa from Cincinnati, OH writes: "I am so thankful to have found this informative page. After coming down with a very nasty cough and cold for the past week, I didn't think I could take another night of constant coughing. My husband went online and found this information and told me to try the ACV and honey mixture. I had been loading up on all kinds of over the counter cough medicines and nothing even phased my cough. We mixed these two ingredients together, about 2 tbsp ACV to 1 tbsp honey and I took it in one big gulp. I didn't expect much, but boy was I wrong. I could instantly tell it had an effect on the severe tickle in my throat. Within about 1/2 hour, it was greatly reduced. About an hour later, I took a little more and went to bed. I did cough some, but nothing like before. Since then, I have taken it a few more times and the relieve is almost instantaneous. I can also tell my sore throat has diminished a great deal as well. I am sold on this stuff. I have since read to dilute with water, so I will do that next. Simply put, I'm amazed!"

[YEA] 10/01/2007: Carol from Midland, MI writes: "The ACV and honey is a miracle cure for me. I am 63 years old and every time I get a cold, I end up with a horrible cough. My husband and I were going out of town to a Broadway show and I had just started coughing constantly. I was so afraid I would not be able to attend the show, so I googled "coughing cures" and found the ACV & honey cure. I tried it immediately with regular ACV from the store and regular honey. It burned on the way down, but I could see such an improvement almost immediately! I took doses 3-4 hours apart for 2 days. I still coughed a little bit, but the improvment was miraculous! I was able to attend the show with no problem as well as do shopping, eating out, etc. When I think about all the sleepless nights I have had coughing my head off, I wish I had checked out this site before. Thank you so much for this information. It truly is amazing!"

I have been in Jewish Medical Center in Denver for many tests but the conclusion is nothing wrong with me. Every time I catch cold and it make me cough for three or four months. In August 17, 2007, I search for chronic cough remedy and stumble in to this site. I start taking ACV and honey the same day. The cough stopped the third days.

The ACV cure my cough about ninety percent. After suffer so many years, I am happy with the result. I still have to take ACV every day. Thank you for all of you who post your experience at the site."

[YEA] 06/25/2007: Dan from New York, New York writes: "I got a really bad cold a few days ago, and I could hardly stand not being able to breathe through my nose. Not only that, but the coughing, especially on the second and third days, was unbelievable. Finally my dad told me that he couldn't listen to my cough any more, but I didn't want to take any drugs/medicine. I found this site on Google and, of course, the first thing I saw was to drink Apple Cider Vinegar. I finally found some in the back of a cabinet and put some in a glass with honey. In less than ten minutes my cough had subsided to barely a tickle every five minutes and my nose cleared up so fast I could actually feel it loosening up. Not only that, but ACV also reduced the weird ringing in my ears and helped my upset stomach. I'm not saying that my cold is completely gone, but I'm easily 99% better than I have been in the last month. ACV is definitely the only thing for any kind of illness."

[YEA] 05/30/2007: Kalpana from Nebraska, USA writes: "For coughing I used Vinegar and Honey. My son has been coughing for 3 years continously...would bring tears to my eyes. Most nights I would hear him coughing from his room and wonder what else can I do to make this better. We tried several doctors, steroids, everything possible that goes with it. I came across this site last night and gave him Vinegar and honey after a lot of coaxing and ...NO COUGH EVER SINCE. HE IS AMAZED AND SO AM I. You guys are mounting up your good Karma. Thanks a ton for sharing."

I am super sensitive to drugs and hate to take anything but got desperate and got the Zpack but before taking it read your acv cures. Within about 15 min of drinking it my cough got better and the next day coughed up lots of stuff and was much better. But today seems to be not as good as yesterday just wondering if the stuff is working still?"
