[NAY]  03/01/2008: Jessica from KC, MO: "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]  02/28/2008: ramzi from dubai, UAE: "had this nasty cough and cold and i was sick of taking drugs so i hit the google and found this website . found the ACV comments . went out and bought it . 3 big spoons of ACV honey and hot water . it really works . done with flu drugs forever"


[YEA]  02/26/2008: Ashely Kwon from San Francisco, CA: "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: "Just wanted to thank everyone who had shared their ACV with honey experiment to cure the cough. I was a skeptic, but the annoying cough would not go away with the OTC medicine, and decided to give ACV a try. 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: "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: "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]  01/18/2008: melissa from schenectady, ny: "I have been up the past 3 nights with a horrible cough.I am diabetic and their are not many things over the counter that I want to mess with, ACV worked for me.. I feel much better I am so glad that I came across this remedy. Its what you would call a "Worry free remedy" Thank you for my sleep back"


[YEA]  01/14/2008: Tammy from Covington , Ga: "re: unbareable cough. well i read every ones feed back, so i got up to make my self some some apple cider vinger and honey but i only had reg. vinger and honey and it work within 30min i fell much better thanks folks. those old remdies still work even better."


[YEA]  12/31/2007: Maureen from Cambridgeshire, England: "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: "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: "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. My entire family will be taking this EVERY day as it has MANY MANY other health benefits as well. If you are desperate for a cough remedy THIS IS IT... please go and get ACV NOW, IT WORKS.."


[YEA]  10/05/2007: Elsa from Cincinnati, OH: "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: "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!"


[YEA]  09/29/2007: Virgina from Highland Ranch, Colorado: "I had chronic cough for 6 years. 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. I had surgery for my both knees, and the pain is constant. The ACV stop knee pain after the fourth day I take ACV. It's unbelievable. The cough does not go away completely. 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."
