[YEA] 10/05/2008: Martha Martinez from El Centro, CA: "The best way to completely heal a sore throat quick is with Hydrogen Peroxide. The regular brand from any store in the brown bottle. Just brush teeth and mouth and as far back throat as comfortably possible, then gargle about a capful or one tablespoon or even dilute it with a bit of water.
Beware of the fizz as your throat, tongue and gums are stripped of all the bad stuff! It will most likely make you gag from all the funk! Rinse and do it again! You will be amazed at the almost immediate releif! Since it is a natural remedy, you can do several times a day as needed but honestly one or two applications should do the trick! It's amazing that something so common and cheap can do such an amazing job! Best and cheapest cure out there!"
[YEA] 10/03/2008: Kevin from Small Town, Nebraska: "I have used food grade hydrogen peroxide, with great success for the bad sore throat. Can anyone help me to rid myself of gallstones, without the surgery?"
EC: Many gallstone remedies here: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/gallstones.html
[YEA] 09/22/2008: Bob from New York, USA: "Hydrogen Peroxide: I have tried many of these remedies that are supposed to work and they didn't. This one really worked. Just gargle it a few times and it will instantly stop the burning and scratching in your throat. Hope this works for you as much as it worked for me:)"
Replies[YEA] 02/28/2012: Cat from Vancouver, Bc Canada replies: "Tried both ways, 3% straight and 3% mixed with an equal part of water, and they work! 3% straight works the best overall but tastes aweful. I got instant relief from the soreness, I began sneezing, my nose started to run, and I started coughing up the infection. I'm definitely putting this natural remedy onto my list of treatments!"
[YEA] 08/21/2008: Matthew from Wellton, Arizona: "I recently tried the Hydrogen Peroxide gargle to cure my soar throat. Although there is a bad taste, it is effective. Just make sure you do it a couple of times until the pain is gone. It takes only minutes if you use pure peroxide, but if you can't stand the taste mix half water, half peroxide, it will take longer but it will work just as well."
Replies04/19/2011: Dr Wow from Toronto, Ont replies: "ILL ADVICE. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE will do more harm and damage to your entire area than provide any benefit to the situation. You throat area tissues are as delicate as your lower private part. Try it on that area 1st to see what happen to your tissues? Totally sick person will tell person to do that."
04/19/2011: Evan from Sydney, Australia replies: "This will depend on the concentration and if it's food grade or not... In reality it should be less 3 percent concentration.... I know so many people that take hp food grade internally and it has worked for them.... Personally.... I have had a bad experience and would never take it again.... I guess 2 sides to every story..."
[YEA] 03/23/2008: Hazel from Lake Havasu City, Arizona: "The best remedy I have found for a sore throat is to gargle with hydrogen peroxide. If you can't stand it full strength, then mix with a half cup of warm water. You can gargle with a mouthwash afterwards if you don't like the taste. I used to have throat problems all the time, now all I do when I feel the least bit of discomfort is gargle with the hydrogen peroxide. Relief in only minutes. Cured in a day or two depending on the severity of the problem."
[YEA] 09/19/2007: Marie from Baton Rouge, LA: "I have gargled hydrogen peroxide for sore throats/laryngitis for years. I get sinus congestion that ends up wrapped around my vocal cords. As soon as I start to lose my voice, I gargle with hydrogen peroxide. The bubbling breaks up the crud immediately which I'm able to cough up."
[YEA] 01/04/2007: Nathan from Auburn, MA: "If you feel a sore throat coming gargle with hydrogen peroxide. I know it sounds crazy but it works. It's ok to swallow just a little bit but don't drink it. Do this a couple times about 5 minutes apart and wait about an hour and it will start to go away. I've been doing this for years and shared it with other people and they are amazed how well it works!"
[YEA] 11/15/2006: Robert from Orlando, FL: "Gargle with peroxide first, then take a low dosage CHEWABLE vitamin C tablet (100 mg or 250 mg) place on tongue and leave it there until it dissolves. Don't swallow the tablet. It kept the scratchy throat from turning into a sore throat as well as an illness from coming on full blown. This works if it's caught in time, which is when one first detects a scratchy throat. I believe what it does is send vitamin c directly to the throat area killing the beginnings of an infection at its earliest stages. Another thing that can be done is to take some colloidal silver and put a drop in each nostril, especially after sneezing. The problem with it is that it's hard to verify that it actually DID stop a cold or flu since one can't prove what didn't happen. But it does work on a reliable basis."
[YEA] 11/12/2006: Nancy from New Jersey: "Just gargle with half strength peroxide, that's half peroxide and half water, twice a day. (the foaming action is nasty but the effect is well worth the unpleasant taste.) A sore throat will disappear within two days. You can add a salt water gargle between the peroxide gargles to be well even faster. (Peroxide will not treat strep. If the symptoms do not improve or if a high fever is present, please see your doctor.)"
Replies[YEA] 02/13/2012: Ruth from Mississauga, Ontario Canada replies: "I am the most skeptic person to try home remedies. I got the cold 5 days ago which gave me fever and terrible sores on my mouth. I gargled with Hydrogen Peroxide 3% diluted with water, also put some drops on my ear. I feel 90% better than 12 hours ago when I tried this marvelous remedy. Now it is part of my survival kit. Health and happiness."
[YEA] 09/29/2006: Anita from El Dorado, AR: "I gargled with peroxide twice and my sore throat is gone."

[YEA] 03/06/2010: Yourvette from Muskegon, Mi: "For a sore throat use hyssop tea (prepare according to directions) and honey to sweeten as often as needed."

[YEA] 02/04/2011: Linda from Fairview, Oklahoma, Usa: "Ice for sore throat. Ice; plain and simple. I have bad sinuse drainage which can really irrtate my throat which can lead to an infection. I can wake up with needles in my throat. Chop up the ice and suck on pieces in the back of your mouth. I don't have an ice crusher so I put cubes in a clean dish towel and whack them with a hammer. This always works. Sometimes with only one treatment."
Icy Hot

[YEA] 11/23/2005: Steve from Emmett, Idaho: "I have a couple family favorites to share. #1. Icy Hot rubbed "sparingly" on the full length of the front of your neck then wrap a hand towel around your neck and pin it with a safty pin so it stays in place. Go to bed and the next morning your sore throat is usually gone. You may want to do a test spot on your neck to see how sensitive your skin is to the Icy Hot. It will warm up your neck and possibly be uncomfortable for 5 to 10 minutes then it calms down and feels soothing. #2 The other remedies we have used successfully to fight a sore throat are gargling with Colloidal Silver or Grapefruit Extract. These are two of the strongest and safest (non-toxic) natural antibiotics available. To your health!"
Iodine

[YEA] 11/10/2012: Mundaring from Perth, Western Australia: "Over the past 6 months since discovering Earth Clinic I have revised how I deal with health issues. Waking up with a sore throat I would generally have tried an OTC remedy. I decided to gargle a few drops of iodine in a teaspoon of filtered water. I thank God it worked within 30 minutes to alleviate my pain. VOILA!"
[YEA] 07/02/2012: Sarah from Dallas, Tx: "I have tonsillitis with tonsil exulates (could be strep, but the pain isn't severe enough, though I have been taking wild oregano oil internally that would have been fighting the infection).
My throat was really hurting to swallow, and I had mucus sitting at the back of my throat that I couldn't get rid of (I don't have a cold, cough and bad allergies right now). It made my mouth taste awful. I read that applying iodine to your wrists and also gargling with a diluted solution can help. I did it last night, and not only did I wake up with my throat much less sore, but the feeling of mucus at the back is nearly entirely gone as well as the bad taste. I used Nascent Iodine, but I believe Lugol's can be used as well."
