[YEA] 05/01/2007: Salima from Madison, Wisconsin writes: "I am 19 weeks pregnant and got sick a few days ago. I didn't want to take any medicines so I've been downing cough drops for the past three days which has done absolutely nothing! I logged on to find a home remedy, and of course being pregnant I have a jar of pickles in my fridge! After drinking in the hot pickles juice I already felt better!! Apparently, the heated vapors of vinger helped my congestion and soothed my sore throat instantly. My coughing subsided dramatically and my throat didn't hurt as much. Thanks!!!!"

[YEA] 04/21/2007: Kasey from Goshen, Utah writes: "I know I am in desperate pain, when I'm sitting in front of the computer at three a.m. looking for home remedies for a super sore throat. I saw the doctor, well the nurse, today and was told after a sharp poke, instead of a swab of the throat that I do Not have strep. I almost wish I had it because two years ago, an anti-biotic took about two hours to kick in and End my suffering. So, the pick juice is really helping. I heated it, though I'm not sure that part is nessessary. I like pickle juice as is, but I've noticed relief just in breathing the vapors before it was cool enough to drink. I'll keep trying this and see if it "Cures" my sore throat. So far, it's absolutely helping the pain. So, thanks for the web site, and who ever listed this pickle idea. KJP Goshen Utah"

[YEA] 04/17/2007: Sister from Tucson, Arizona writes: "I was suffering from discomfort in my throat all day and it worsened through tonight. I checked online for natural remedies (tried cinnamon on toast and it did not work) and came upon this site. I read about the dill pickle juice and, although unlike many of the others who seem to love pickles, I felt sick at the thought of trying this remedy. Even in the aisle at the store I felt disgusted. I opted for the kosher dill slices for the thinness (I probably should have selected the petite baby dills) and drank about an ounce of the juice followed by a sliced dill. My throat burned for some seconds after drinking the juice and eating the dill slice, but I am happy to say that the remedy worked and it worked FAST!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 04/16/2007: Lola from Bronx, New Jersey writes: "Pickle Juice helped my sore throat. I would not say this is a "cure", but it is a soother. It did make my throat feel slightly better, but not entirely. At this point even though I hate pickles, I was willing to try anything."

[YEA] 03/23/2007: Eugene from Tucson, AZ writes: "The best way to use pickle juice ( dill is the best) is to heat it up like you would hot tea. The heat activates the dill and vinager in a way that it helps even more. This not only helps with sore throats, but for stuffy heads and chest as well. I have used it several times and has not let me down."

[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."

[YEA] 03/01/2006: Rod from Alpharetta, GA writes: "I had a very bad sore throat the other night. I tried drinking hot tea w/honey and gargled salt water. Neither of them worked very well. 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."

[YEA] 02/28/2006: Jenny from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire (UK) writes: "I developed a sore throat, but did not think that it was anything to worry about... 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] 09/19/2008: Tasmein from Chicago, Illinois writes: "Well I have had flu symptoms for the pass couple of days and my mom doesn't seem to want to give me anything but halls for my sore thoart which we all know doesn't really work! But I figured while I was laying on the couch I would google. So I can across the pickle juice remedy and hot sauce remedy. These were the only two ingrediants I knew we had in the kitchen so I decided to drink some pickle juice I didn't really drink a certain amount just enough so that my stomach wouldn't ache afterwards then I walked over and dipped my finger in a cup of hot sauce and sucked it from my finger, not in any specific measurements. My throat immediately felt relief! So now its only been about five mins but I can feel it working already! Who would have known!!! THANKS!!!"
