[YEA]  09/14/2008: Rachel from Boston, Massachusetts: "I tried the 3tbs ACV and 3 tbs honey in a mug of warm water, and let me tell you, I almost threw-up the mixture, but once I had downed it all, my throat felt 100 times better, Thanks!"


[YEA]  09/10/2008: Beki from Norman, Oklahoma: "I love eating spinach and vinegar anyway so when I saw it was a cure for my sore throat I was thrilled and it worked. Thanks so much."


[YEA]  09/04/2008: Lucy from Exshaw, Canada: "I've had a sore throat for a couple days now. It was so bad that I couldn't eat sleep or swallow comfortably. I took today off work in hope of getting better for a planned weekend hiking in the Assiniboine area. I really didn't want to cancel the trip so I looked for remedies on the net. I found this site and gave the ACV a shot. I've just drank a mug of the stuff and it is noticeably better. I think I might be in good shape for tomorrow! Thanks for all the comments!"


[NAY]  08/25/2008: Lacey from Willoughby, Ohio: "i tried the 8 ounces warmed over pickle juice. couldn't even make it through the whole glass, i drank about 4 ounces. i waited about 10 minutes, nothing, still sore. so i moved on to the 3 tbs of acv and 3 tbs of honey in hot water. i drank 8 ounces of that stuff. let me tell ya. there is no getting over the taste, i had to choke it down... it didn't cure my sore throat it only made my belly hurt!"

08/25/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "The best way to use ACV/honey 50/50 is to just swallow l/2 to l tsp very slowly every l hour or so. Another thing I use early on for sore throat is listerine or other mouth wash and hydrogen peroxide 50/50 gargle every hour from early onset of initial soreness."


[YEA]  08/13/2008: Carol from Boston, MA: "I am so grateful for this home remedy website and forum! My daughter has Mono and over the last 2 days has had an unbearably sore thoat. We tried everything (salt water gargle, steriod solution gargle, advil, codiene...) and nothing was working. She couldn't even swallow her saliva. It was preventing her from sleeping, and when you have mono, thats all you want to do. I happened upon this website and she gave it a shot. Using the 3 tablespoons of ACV and Honey in warm water was not particularly appetizing, but after drinking it, she was able to sleep 4 hours and now says that her throat is so much better. I am now a believer in home remedies!"

08/15/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Mono is a virus and every virus I have tried L-lysine on has been susceptible to it. If your daughter is l2 or older, 2000 mgm. mealtime and bedtime is the dosage, if younger decrease to l000mgm. or less at the same times. With a sore throat you will probably need to crush or dissolve for her to swallow them."


[YEA]  07/28/2008: Cretia from Cleveland, Ohio: "I actually have been drinking apple cider vinegar everyday as a part of keeping my body healthy. I stopped drinking it up until about a month ago. Looking on the internet for some home remedy relief for my sore throat, I stumbled on this site. Its kinda funny to see that this can cure a sore throat and it made me feel like I shouldn't have ever stopped drinking it at all but hey it did its job it is worth a try for all the people out there scared to take it."


[YEA]  07/25/2008: Madeline from Buffalo, NY: "I'm a singer and woke up this morning with a dull soreness and scratchy feeling in the back of my throat. I immediately went online to find a cure or a quick fix up, and I found this site! Absoultely amazing... I tried the mix of Apple Cider Vinegar, honey, and hot water. I am now drinking this amazing drink and my sore throat is GONE! Thank you so much! I used 3 tbs of ACV, 3 tbs of honey, and a cup of hot water. The taste and smell is strong at first, but you get used to it. Thank you!"


[YEA]  07/22/2008: Zach from Houston, Texas: "wow! as soon as i read this website i quickly tried the suggested 3 tbl spoons of acv and honey with warm water. as i write this comment now i am drinking this miracle concoction. i'm not even 1/2 way done with my glass and i am feeling alot better! i recommend this to anyone who has been suffering from a sore throat for a short amount of time...like me. Although the smell is a little strong and the taste is strong at first..GET OVER IT! This will help."


[YEA]  06/28/2008: Brittany from Hagerstown, Maryland: "My step mom is a nurse and when i had a sore throat i asked her the best home remedy because i have no medical insurance. She told me to add 2 tbs of acv to an 8oz glass of water, and gargle and swallow every 30 minutes. Within 5-6 hours my strep throat was completely gone. Everytime i get a sore throat, this is what i do. It tastes horrible, but helps immensily. Thank goodness for a nurse in the family!"


[YEA]  06/23/2008: Lisa from Piscataway, NJ: "Thank you so much for this site. I was thinking about going to the Dr. tomorrow for a bad sore throat and lump in my throat...I don't like Dr's very much my I had 3 natural childbirths the last one at home...so I'm usually pretty bad if I go. AMAZING!!! is all I have to say. I gargled with acv, OJ, salt and warm h2o (no exact measurements I'm Italian...so a splash of this and a pinch of that)and I can't believe how quick the releif came. Thank you again. I can't wait to read some of the other remedies on your site!"


[NAY]  06/21/2008: Judy from Mission Viejo, CA: "I gargled with ACV the last time I had a sore throat and it worked like a charm. It seemed to "sweeten" the soreness in my throat and took out the pain. This last sore throat was so bad I could not swallow so I went for the ACV again and gargled it straight. I accidentally swallowed a gulp-full and it immediately burned and constricted my throat so I could not breathe. It was as tho I swallowed acid. I was alone and scared to death that I was just going to die on the spot. I sucked in air the best I could until I was able to fill my lungs. It was the scariest thing I ever had happen to me, I do not recommend this unless you really dilute it!! I won't ever go near it again. That episode did it for me! Be careful!"


[YEA]  06/19/2008: SteveT from Berkley, Ma.: "Does it work?????? OHHH yeah! Woke up at 4am with what felt like a mouth full of glass... Couldnt swallow air let alone liquids. I downed a cup of tea with 3 tablespoons(yea I went heavy) of ACV and a shake of sugar. First sip was a killer, i almost yakked from the taste alone. By the 3rd sip my throat had calmed down to the point where the pain was minimal at best. I figured Id do one better and proceeded to drink 4 ounces of ACV straight! Well after I spent the next 6 hrs on the commode...the pain was gone! No kidding. This stuff really works folks."


[YEA]  06/18/2008: Kristin from Tulsa, Oklahoma: "Good morning! I woke up around 3:30 this morning with my throat so swollen I almost had a panic attack. I have been struggling with sinusitis and allergies for several months now, and believe it culminated this week into a severe sore throat. I did break down and take amoxocillin the last time (just three weeks ago) but broke out in a rash on 7th day. I am not willing to try antibiotics again so soon, so got online to see if anything could be found for relief. My throat hurt so bad 20 minutes ago, it brought back memories of a tonsillectomy in 3rd grade. I now know that sugar just feeds these things, but in order to get through my day yesterday, I had to do couph drops. So I tried the 2 tbs ACV in water(a normal sized mug) with a tbs of natural honey. IT WORKS! I am not pain free, but I can swallow without severe pain. I will be taking a large serving of this with me today! I cannot thank you enough, as I was really in panic mode. I notice now I am breaking a sweat, which I consider a good thing, toxins releasing. I will be including this in my daily regimine froom now on. I am a hygienist though, and do recommend trying it with the soda or immediately brushing your teeth thoroughly after use, as this can do severe damage to your teeth.

Thanks so much, I now know I can make it through today, and that I don't have to take an antibiotic. Much relief!"


[YEA]  05/31/2008: Matt from Paxton, Illinois: "Woke up at around 4:30 A.M. and my throat was killing me. It's been this way after a couple weeks and a full regiment of Penicillin. I googled about sore throats and found this site. Made me a conconction of ACV and tea and it's working surprisingly well. Use 1 cup water, throw in a teabag of earl gray tea add 2 teaspoons suger and 2 tablespoons ACV. Seems to be working for me, hope it works for others too."

My throat hurt so bad I was ready to try anything to get some relief. I tried his remedy for a sore throat and I can tell with my first cup of tea my throat is feeling better. I used 1 cup hot water, 1 Earl Grey tea bag, 2 teaspoons of suger and 2 tablespoons of ACV, just like he recommened. It was rather tasty too. If you want to get rid of your soar throat and want to do it tastfully, try this remedy. Imagine when you are drinking this, that it is an herbal tea with a punch. Compared to some of the over the counter hot drink medicines, this remedy taste so much better and the price is a steal."
