[YEA] 03/22/2007: Sara from Scottsdale, AZ writes: "OMG!! "I woke up with the worst sore throat in the history of time this morning. My lymph node is the size of a golf ball, went to the doc and he said it was viral. I couldn't take it anymore...i could not even cry bc it put too much strain on my throat. Googled "sore throat remedys" and this website came up. God Bless You Guys!!!! I have only gargled one time and i can say that its a 30% better already! I am sipping tea with lemon and a dash of cayenne right now and think that it's helping too...Thank you guys. My friend was going to take me to ER but i think i can tolerate it now:-)"

[YEA] 03/20/2007: Ricky from Lexington, Texas writes: "I've had a sore throat for about 2 days now and hadn't planned on using anything because nothing has ever worked in the past. Decided to google "sore throat remedy" this morning and found your site. I ran out at lunch and bought some organic ceyenne pepper and bottled water. I mixed 1 tsp of ceyenne with 12 oz of water and gargled about five times. Believe it or not, my sore throat is already almost gone. Great remedy! Now I'm going to try the ACV for HBP. Thanks!"

[YEA] 03/20/2007: Girish from Chicago, IL writes: "Here is why (I think) Cayenne Pepper works: Cayenne Pepper contains Capsaicin - which known to us for long time as a great pain killer. When one gargles with pepper powder, capsaicin overloads the nerve endings in the throat giving instance relief from the pain. If you gargle on a regular basis then the nerves are overloaded and you don't feel pain. Capsaicin is used in chronic pain management exactly for same reason. I don't think it has any curative qualities in this case (like getting rid of the actual infection), but the pain relief is great!"

[YEA] 03/17/2007: Janel from Tampa, Florida writes: "I had the worst sore throat that began over spring while I was in the Bahamas. I couldn't swallow without this UNBEARABLE pain. When I got back from my vacation I still had the sore throat so I came online and searched some home remedies. I came across this one and just read it because I thought it was a joke. But I began to read all the comments and how it worked so well for everyone. So I thought, why not give it a shot. I went out and bought honey, C. Pepper, and white vinegar. Came home and gargled every 15 minutes for the night, and to my shock my sore throat was gone...I couldnt believe it. This stuff is incredible!!!"

[YEA] 03/17/2007: Angie from Indianapolis, Marion writes: "I have been feeling terrible for about two days to the point where I ant even swallow my spit without wantig to cry, but until I came across this website, I thought I was dying. I have gargled a 1/2 glass of the cayenne pepper with warm water and I feel so much better. I am going to finish the glass. I just have to keep stirring so the cayenne does not stay in the bottom of the glass. Also watch out for a burning mouth. I will say I'll deal with the burning mouth instead of the sore throat. Thank God for this website."

I didn't scroll down to any exact recipe, but made my own combination of Cayenne Pepper, Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar, and salt. Wow! That sore throat is gone! I gave my husband some which he made faces at and criticized, but now he's asking for the recipe to pass on to others. Thank you so much!"

[YEA] 03/14/2007: Victoria from Rochester, NY writes: "I'm a singer and I've had two preformances already this week. My third is tomorrow. I really need my voice to be in good shape so I did some research for a sore throat cure. I'm currently drinking a cup of black tea with honey, lemon, cayenne pepper (just a little), and sugar (I don't like honey in my tea so this is there for sweetness) and already it feels SO much better! I'll be making another cup before I go tomorrow morning!"

[YEA] 03/14/2007: Chris from San Jose, CA writes: "I came home from a family dinner and for the first time in a year I felt a dry painful throat, I told my fiance I was going to go to bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn't get over the pain, remembering this website from the ACV cure I used for overall health, I searched for sore throats. Coming to the Cayenne page I went downstairs and took 1/2 tsp of powder and 6oz of warm water, gargled and then swallowed, it felt fantastic and I felt almost immediate results, I just woke up and I am taking it again, bye bye sore throat, what a remedy!"

[YEA] 03/11/2007: Paully from Nassau, Bahamas writes: "I had a sore throat for two days and I was fed up with it!! Lozenges provided relief for about 2 mins literally & salt and warm water was useless! After 2 attempts on google to find something that wasn't so yucky I found this!! I grabbed my wallet & keys and sped to the store to get the cayenne. I used 1/2 tsp to a glass of warm water & gargled about 4 times. I sipped a bit of it which was PEPPER as heck!! At bedtime my sore throat seemed to get worse...the cayenne was doing its job at that time. Cuz when I woke up my throat was 100% better. I'm still congested but I can deal with that!! Bye bye sore throat!!! Thanks!!"

[YEA] 03/08/2007: Scott from Boise, Idaho writes: "Holy crud, I just learned why I have been craving garlic, hot peppers, vinegar (ketchup), all my life. I have been a very healthy person, only getting sick for a day or two a year and have a bad diet/sweet tooth. Today when I got hungry after two days of not eating much I was craving a carls jr buffalow burger(cayenne) and a shake...I felt so good after it for about 2 hours then it got bad again. It was so bad I could not sleep and I feared for my throat to start bleeding, found your site, only thing I had was Frank's Red Hot (chili sauce) so I mixed it with water and now I think I am going to make it through the night as it feels 80% better after three gargles. Thank you, I plan picking up some of the other stuff to try too. Time for sleep"

[YEA] 03/03/2007: Bill from Aberdeen, UK writes: "Having had throat problems for 20 years, comprising of pain, tickly cough, sticky mucus, I have tried almost everything with little success. I then tried cayenne gargle, with a little salt. The result is fantastic, almost immediately, my throat was back to normal, no mucus or pain. I now use a gargle mix of cayenne, apple cider vinegar, salt & honey twice daily. I also take cayenne with food. Generally feel very well and am very happy to have got rid of throat problems. I have been doing this regime for 2 weeks now."

I just started round 2 of antibiotics and decided to see what else I could do. I tried the Cayenne Pepper and hot water and instantly felt relief. Then later today I tried the apple cider vinegar with water lemon juice and honey, the pus pockets in my throat have been reduced down about 50%, I cant believe it. Give this stuff a try, it works."

[YEA] 02/27/2007: Diane from Cincinnati, OH writes: "Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. My throat was raw and sore from coughing. I read about gargling hot water with 1/4 tsp of Cayenne Pepper. After I gargled a glassful, my throat wasn't sore. For added benefit, I followed up with a 12 oz. cup of hot water with 2 T. of ACV, 1 tsp. honey and 1/4 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper. The taste was tolerable. My throat felt good afterwards."
