APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  07/22/2009: Joe C from Bear Creek , NC writes: "I just tried a 3tsp acv, 3tsp honey with about 4 oz of water and it worked with the first sip. I decided on the 4 oz of water from some previous posts where people didn't experience immediate relief and it was suggested they not dillute as much. Any how, I sipped the stuff with a spoon and for the first time this week I have been able to swallow without tears. I have been taking amoxicillin for not quite two days, as I am lucky enough to have developed strep throat for the first time in over ten years during my summer vacation, but nothing I have tried would get rid of the burn in my throat. I wish I had found this site a few days ago and had a much better vacation!!"

It got so bad my ears were starting to burn and I could feel a distinct lump on my throat on the side where it hurt most. I was miserable and then found this site. I love ACV, using it as a salad dressing often - so I eagerly tried it and was amazed. I sipped about 4 ounces of the 9 ounces, slowly with a spoon and within a half hour I have had incredible relief. Not cured, but I can swallow without tears now. Will continue throughout the evening and hope it will go away before a big meeting tomorrow. thanks everyone for their posts!"

When you swallow, tilt your head back and coat as much of your throat as possible. Although the taste is not nice, the results are really good, and really eased my throat as well as unblocked my nose. Leave it to sit for 30 minutes at least so it can do it's job, just bear the taste if you can."

I don't want to get the other band memebers sick during practice and was woken up in the middle of the night with a terrible sore throat. It was really burning! I tried the acv and honey with hot water and it already feels much better than it did. I'm going to keep drinking this and see if I can get myself better by tomorrow. This is a great home remody!"

The pain has been terrible and taking advil or tylenol has been like drinking water. neither was any help at all. after coming here to see what home remedies were out there, i tried 3 tsp of acv 3 tsp honey, and 8oz very warm water and sipped it like tea. it did'nt cure me but i did get some relief on the first glass. I've drank 3 glasses since yesterday and although the pain is still there it's not as intense"

[YEA]  06/03/2009: Debbie from San Diego, CA writes: "I too am here in the middle of the night looking for a remedy for my sore throat. I have a straight forward cold with swollen glands and a sore throat. I tried the 3 to 3 ACV and whatever honey was in my cupboard and it's been less than an hour and I have no pain!

At first I was wary and gargled, and now an sipping my "tea"...it worked great for me, but I am only sipping as to not have stomach upset. The taste doesn't bother me at all!

Thanks so much for all of the feedback which helped me to decide upon trying this particular home remedy.

God Bless."

I used 3 tsp ACV, 3 tsp honey and 8 oz. hot water. While I was taking it it did provide limited relief. Gargled roughly half and drank the rest. 30 minutes later after sitting on the sofa and feeling it get worse I got up and checked my temp. My temp had gone from 99.9 immediately before the using the ACV to 102.8 thirty minutes after (so its not as if my mouth were still hot from the drink). This stuff is not only useless its dangerous in my opinion. Stay away from this and if you've got a sore throat, see a licensed physician."

I went onto this website looking for a remedy because mine was not working. I saw the remedy for 3 tsp ACV and 3 tsp honey and decided to give it a try in some hot water. It worked great. It really does soothe the burning right out of the back of the throat. What a great remedy....thanks...."

3 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
3 tsp Honey

I tried this remedy for my sore throat (as suggested by someone on your website) because my throat was killing me and I have a huge meeting tomorrow. Halfway through the cup, my throat began to feel better and it doesn't taste too bad (not good but not bad)."

My husband and I have used the raw vinegar and raw honey drinks before..which, I find to be a very soothing drink..anyway I made up a 8oz cup of hot water with 3 tsp vinegar and 3 tsp+ of honey and gave it to my son..he was amazed how much he felt better within a few minutes...sounds crazy for anything to work that fast..he said his body aches were better also...he is now sleeping peacefully :)"

I have been taking the ACV 3 times/day about 1 TBS in a little bit of water (just dilute it enough to be able to drink it) after every meal. Within 2 days my soar throat was gone!!!! I was amazed. And now, I don't even have the acid reflux, I can eat whatever I want and it's like magic. Thank you for this site and all the good advice. It changed my life. I sleep so well at night now and have a normal life again. It amazes me that such a simple and natural solution has really changed my life. I'm so gratefull."

[YEA]  04/21/2009: Heather from Jones, Florida writes: "I currently have a terrible sore throat that I need to get rid of rather quickly because I work with elderly people in a nursing home. I went online to see if I could find a quick fix and I saw a remedy for Apple Cider Vinegar and decided to try it. I put 3tsp ACV and 3tsp regular honey into a hot glass of water and mixed it so the honey wasn't all as the bottom. I gargled the entire glass, one mouthful at a time and literally, after the first few gargles, my throat felt much better! It's still a bit tender, but better than what it was, so I'll continue to gargle ever two hours for the next day. Hopefully by tomorrow it's completely gone!"

[YEA]  03/27/2009: Kenya from Nashville, TN writes: "My throat was hurting so bad that I could not sleep tonight. I thought about this website and went to the local store and picked up some apple cidar vinegar. Surprisingly, it did not taste as bad as the smelled. I will definitely share this remedy with my family and friends. Thank you so much for the help. I am glad that we as people are sticking together during tough times. Everyone cannot afford to run to a doctor for every little ailment. Thanks again."

[YEA]  03/05/2009: CJ from Sydney, NSW Australia writes: "After reading all the feedback on ACV for a sore throat, I decided to give it a try. I mixed 3 tsp of ACV, 2 tsp raw honey, 1 tsp Manuka honey and 8 oz of warm water. I was dreading the taste of it but it actually tastes not bad. Minutes later and I am feeling a slight relief. I gargled some of it and am sipping on the rest."

I recommend people do this... just remember to add the water ;)"

[YEA]  02/25/2009: Stefanie from Boston, MA writes: "I have had a sore throat for about two days now and it wasn't working for me. I googled home remedies for sore throats and came across this website. I began reading about the Apple Cider Vinegar and believed it would work but was hesitant. I have been feeding this to my dog for a while now since shes been having a bladder problem and was suggested the ACV, which gave immediate results. The horrible smell of the ACV threw me off but I knew I had to do it so I gargled it, then choked it down. It was diluted with warm water so it was bearable but I almost threw it up immediately. Although it was disgusting it definitely worked, and I can feel my sore throat getting better already!"

[YEA]  02/23/2009: Aeron from Middleburg, VA writes: "I had not heard of this before, but after finding your website, I mixed 3 tsp organic ACV and 3 tsp raw organic honey in a mug of hot water and drank it. It's actually pretty tasty! My sore throat was IMMEDIATELY better. Now, day two, the sore throat is gone but I have some chest congestion/coughing.... I'm off to try some garlic. Thanks for this great site. I will refer back to it often."

With the first time i took it a was able to swallow without pain. But i do plan on taking it 2 more times, so hopefully it will cure my sore throat."

[YEA]  02/11/2009: Michele from Hamilton, Ontario Canada writes: "ACV and honey cured my sore throat. I did the 3 and 3 with 8 oz of warm water and my throat felt better right away. I took it before bed and woke up the next morning with no sore throat at all."

[YEA]  02/02/2009: Harry and Betty from Fullerton, California writes: "Just experienced the grand daddy of all sore throats and decided to try the ACV/Honey recommendation and you've made a believer out of me. I blended 3 tablespoons of ACV with 3 tablespoons of honey to which I added 8 ounces of warm water. I started by gargling the entire glass and in approx. 2 hours started to feel minor improvement so repeated the process and sipped very small quantities the second time around. Again, in a couple of hours I experiened futher relief. I repeated the process a third time and experienced definite relief from what was agonizing pain. I continued the treatment for a total of five times and after 36 hours am completely pain free. This is a minor miracle when you consider I started with my ears on fire and barely able to swallow and only then with a lot of discomfort. Thanks much to all who shared their experiece with this treatment it was very beneficial. Harry S."

[YEA]  01/31/2009: DeskExplorer from Bristol, CT writes: "I had a sore throat for about two days and it was very painful to swallow or talk. I decided to "google" for some home remedies for sore throat, before making an appointment to visit my doctor for antibiotics. I came to this site and decided to try the Apple Cider Vinegar with honey suggestion. I checked my cupboard and all I had was Apple Cider Vinegar and spring water in the fridge. I gargle with two capfull of apple cider vinegar mixed w/ warm water in a tea cup. I use half to gargle and the other half I sipped on until finished. My throat was still very sore, but I didn't expect immediate results. Nonetheless, about an hour before going to bed I decided to gargle with two capful of straight apple cider vinegar w/ no water. WHOA! THAT WAS INTENSE!! There was no burning or anything, but the vinegar was very STRONG! I awoke the next morning (6 hours later) and I could tell an immediate reduction in pain. Realising this I gargle two more capful of apple cider vinegar straight hoping that this would ease the pain even more. About 7-8 hours later the pain was completely gone. AMAZING!! This stuff really works!! Try it!"
