My sore throat horrible and it made me so sick i couldn't tell the difference from hungry and full anymore so yesterday I passed out in the Hair Salon from starvation. Today I was still feeling horrible and I could barely talk so I started looking for remedies and after my google search this was the first page I clicked on and when I saw pickle brine as a remedy i was amazed because I LOVE pickles so I drank some and TA-DAH! I am feeling great! But now I need to eat before I blackout again."

[YEA] 03/16/2006: Angel from South Carolina writes: "I've had the worst sore throat for last five days following a sinus infection and a cold. After the cold had ran it's course I was still left with the lingering cough and irritating sore throat. Not to mention losing my voice on and off all week. I tried cough medicine from Robitussin to tylenol cough and cough (although the tylenol provided temporary pain relief; as soon it wore off the back came back)I also tried zytrec and sudafed (because i was told it might be allergies.) To my dismay nothing worked out. I got desperate and begun searching the web for a home remedy. And alas....(harps play here...) I found this site. When i saw pickle juice I figured this is a win-win situation. I love pickles... and i found it quite delightful to swig the juice. And i can say i'm never been more pleasantly surprised that it actually seems to work!! It was only about a hour ago that i drank it so i don't know if it's effects are going to last; but i've got my fingers crossed. Thank you so much for publishing this cure."

I ran a search on Yahoo for "Home Remedies for Sore Throat" and came across your website. I tried the Pickle juice and amazingly enough it relieved my sore throat almost instantly. Thank you very much. I will be passing along this home remedy for many years to follow."

Then the next day, it got worse, swallowing and talking being very painful at times... I searched for sore throat cures in google, found Earth Clinic, and looked through the remedies listed... I was quite surprised to see Pickle Juice as one of the cures - but then remembered learning of vinegar's bacteria fighting properties... So, I gave the cure a try and lo and behold - my sore throat felt better within the first few sips... I like Earth Clinic"

[YEA] S from NJ writes: "I usually drink pineapple, as hot as I can stand it at the first sign of a cold. The morning after there are no more symptoms. This is also an amazing remedy for an established sore throat or voice loss due to a cold. I suffered with a raw throat and loss of my voice for 2 weeks, then someone suggested drinking hot pineapple juice... the next morning, I had my voice back and my throat was no longer raw."

That afternoon I grabbed some salsa and tortilla chips as a snack - my sore throat was gone almost instantly! After coming across your website, now everything makes sense. Since most salsas have vinegar, garlic & spices in them, this is a great snack for anyone to grab with a sore throat - only have mild salsa on hand: spinkle cayenne pepper in it and voila!"

SALT WATER AND BAKING SODA GARGLES
[YEA] 12/23/2007: Rin from Camas, WA writes: "My daughter has a bad case of mono. Her tonsils were so swollen they were touching her uvula and she couldn't swallow any pain meds. We were having her gargle with a salt rinse, with no real relief. We called my inlaws and they suggested rinsing with a tsp of bs in lukewarm water followed by the salt rinse every two hours. Amazing! My daughter's tonsils are a little less swollen and it took the pain away for her to sleep for a lot longer last night. I found your site this morning when I was researching bs rinses. The doctor's we saw never even suggested it."

[YEA] 11/17/2007: Bob from Timnbuktu, Timnbuktan writes: "Salt water and Sodium Bicarbonate Gargle the best sore throat cure -- Ingredients: Half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and a teaspoon of salt. Mix: Place bicarb and salt into mug. Add apx two tablespoons of boiling hot water (a quater a cup). The temperature actiates the bicarb and salt and it bubbles furiously for a few seconds. Add cool water until temperature is warm/hot cool enough to gargle -and gargle it until all gone. The bicarb helps break down the mucous and permits the salt to do its job"
