APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  02/24/2006: Justin from OK writes: "I read about the ACV treatment for a sore throat, it took me a while to muster up the courage and gargle it, but mixing 2 Table spoons of ACV, 2 table spoons of lemon Juice, and about 24 oz of water. Didn't make it so bad, plus it isn't so bad for your teeth enamel that way. It works!!"

[YEA]  02/13/2006: Samantha from Eleebana NSW writes: "Salty Water is a great one but it take too long. Vinegar and honey actually works quiet well it may be the most disgusting thing on the planet but it works. Just remember to take sips of water in between taking the remedy."

[YEA]  02/06/2006: Kim G from Tampa Bay, FL writes: "Yesterday I came down with an awful sore throat, accompanied with a nagging cough and chills. My throat literally felt like it was on fire. I did a search and found this page. I've used it for many things, but I would have never thought about Apple Cider Vinegar for a sore throat. Although I don't make a habit of it, I am one of the few people that can drink Apple Cider Vinegar straight. Anyway, being concerned about the tooth enamel thing, I went ahead and poured Apple Cider Vinegar in a shot glass, drank it like a sailor and washed it down with spring water afterward. I did this about once every hour for approximately six hours. Here I am, six hours later, and I can actually swallow without cringing. My sore throat is manageable and my accompanied cough has also calmed down. Thanks for the tip!"

[YEA]  02/01/2006: Karen from BKLYN, NY writes: "I always use vinegar/honey equal parts, when I have a sore throat, the vinegar kills bacteria, just like antibiotics."

[YEA]  01/30/2006: Robert from Queens, NY writes: "Since there are so many chemicals in what we eat, and the pharmaceutical companies are making millions from us. I have decided to go natural with certain things. Yesterday a friendly cashier coughed in my direction. That night I suffered from the most horrible sore throat and nasal congestion I have ever had. After a little research I took ACV with warm water, gargled at first then drank the rest. If you want a quick natural cure, this is the way to go. Not only did my sore throat go away, but my entire nasal cavity was drained. (Sorry) no infection, thank god, some ear wax came out without any trouble. Cheap, and no doctor visit. They are going to have to get money from someone else."

[YEA]  01/11/2006: Laura from Mt. Pleasant writes: "The Apple Cider Vinegar has to be the nastiest thing ever created, it really does not taste good, but my voice does not crack, squeak, or break anymore."

[YEA]  11/20/2005: Parag from Grand Rapids, MI writes: "ACV worked like a Charm! I was at 5:30 in the morning with a powerful sore throat and a hoarse voice. I had to teach a class next day and I was worried. Googled and found your website. Tried the ACV (Heinz, 5% acidity) lime juice Local-make clover honey warm water followed by rinsing my mouth to remove the acid (for my teeth). It was effective immediately! I was able to teach the next day! Thank you! I also had 5 fresh raw Basil leaves twice a day. Helped me with my cold and cough. And about 2 brown dried dates for strength."

[YEA]  Trannon from Tratsworth, Georgia writes: "I mixed up one recipe I found where I mixed 16 oz of water with 3 TBLS of Apple Cider Vinegar, 3 TBLS of Lemon Juice, and 2 TBLS of Honey. In less than 24 hours my sore throat (which was so bad I constantly dripped water in the back of my throat just to swallow) was COMPLETELY GONE WITHOUT A TRACE!"

[YEA]  Del from Denver, Colorado writes: "My daughter found your site a while ago, in desperation because she was working at a local retail store that offered no health care, and she had a horrible sore throat and decided to try the ACV, and we've been sold on it ever since. At the first signs of a cold or flu we take a shot [2 tablespoons approx.] of AVC, and then follow with a glass of water. And we repeat this 4 times in that first day, and bam! The soreness has gone by the next morning and we feel nearly 100% better. After that first day we'll do the 4 doses a day for a day or two. We used to be huge sinus infection people -- probably because we love our cats, and lived with a smoker. Now, the colds barely get a hold of us, and we never have to take antibiotics! AVC is the cure!!"

[YEA]  Gerrad from St Louis, MS writes: "ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) with lemon juice, honey and water helped significantly with the sore throat!!"

[YEA]  Bill writes: "vinegar and lemon juice gargle cures a sore throat"

[YEA]  Reid from Hong Kong writes: "Recently I was beginning to develop a sore throat to indicate a cold coming on, so I gargled and sipped on a strong mix of ACV and water and the sore throat was completely gone in a few hours."

[YEA]  Donna from Niagra Falls writes: "Vinegar & honey helped my sore throat."

[YEA]  Anna from Atlanta, GA writes: "I was suffering from sore throat for a week. My throat hurt and I could barely talk. I took Apple Cider Vinegar 2 times a day and the very next day my throat felt better. I am a believer!"

[YEA]  Dan from England writes: "I have a really sore throat and have just read some of the ideas on your site but do not have access to half the stuff suggested so i have just gargled some plain vinegar which seems to have helped along side a cup of gravy with added salt, i am also sucking strepsals in between though!"

[YEA]  Brian from Manchester. UK writes: "ACV is not generally available in the UK. My guarantee for success is a spoonful of sugar doused in ordinary vinegar, it bites your throat but in the words of the song, it helps the medicine go down."

[YEA]  Josh from Akron, Ohio writes: "okay ive been so sick for 3 days that i can barely move, cant eat, and general discomfort. i tried the 3 tbs ACV and 3 tbs of honey in a glass of tea. i hate tea but i would do this anytime my throat hurts. it was instant relief for my throat. now if i could get the rest of my body to stop aching, and these cold sweats to go away i'd be good as gold."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, CAYENNE

[YEA]  02/03/2010: Ms. Kaye from Indianapolis, Indiana writes: "Concoction of apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, dash of salt, honey, lemon, organic throat coat tea bag, and honey and lemon tea bag helped my sore throat. Taking Acv straight works, but if u can't stand the taste try this:

ACV: 2-3tbsp; sprinkle of cayenne pepper; a dash of sea salt or reg.salt; 2tsp honey; slice of lemon;(cut in half and sqeeze juice in tea, remove pulp & place in cup) the other half garnish cup, eat after tea is gone; steep organic throat coat for 3-5 mins. & take out. Steep and leave the black tea & honey teabag in glass. SIP, gargle, & swallow. Taste is ok. May not be the best but u should feel better. Repeat as neccessary.

1) Went & got fresh ginger (which I peeled), carrots, apple, lemon (use whatever qty you like) - juiced & drank

2) made a concoction of 1 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1 tblsp. apple cider vinegar, 1 tblsp. honey, 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice - add hot water & a splash of cold water --- gargle as many times as you wish & then continue gargling as you feel like it

3) OPTIONAL - same concoction as #2 MINUS the cayenne pepper - drink it down

I'm telling you - it works! Yesterday I thought I was dying & today I'm almost 100% back to me. WOO HOO!!! Good luck!!!"

ASPIRIN, SALT, BAKING SODA

BAKED LEMON AND OLIVE OIL

[YEA]  Tara McDonald from Perth, ON, Canada writes: "This recipe was given to my grandparents by a spunky 90 year old (or should I say young) opera singer one day while he was digging in his garden. He valued his voice greatly and refused to take any "modern medications" that might numb his throat instead of heal it.

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  08/10/2009: Linda from Lincoln City, Oregon writes: "I have been dealing with candida mostly in my digestive track for 9-10 years now.In November of 2008 I had to take an antibotic for a surgery procedure at the time which I had an allergec reaction to.Well ever sense then I have had on and off a presistant extremely sore throat. I follow a fairly strict candiad diet outlined in Dr Crooks book. I had a white pustule in the upper left side of the throat.I knew it was due to the fungi in my system so I began a more aggressive program to treet it.I purchased Candida ___ from ___ ____.After taking this for 4-5 days I woke up with a crick in the upper right side of my neck (extremely painful) After a week and still taking it I became much worse (I had to sleep in my husbands recliner for probably 1 1/2 months)I went to see my ND Susan ___ who after looking me over said that the pain center manifesting in my upper right shoulder/neck was my gall bladder maridean. Susan asked what I had been taking lately. I happened to have some Candida ___ with me, she went over the ingredents and with some testing discovered I'd had an allergic reaction to the oregano in the Candida ___.

Needless to say I quit taking that but it took about another month before my system completly cleared and I could sleep in bed again.Ykes!! What do I do now? Finally able to get back on the computer I have sense started taking, Caprylic acid, Olive Leaf extract and Trifala all 3 times a day with other supplements.Took these for 2 months still not much relief. Went on the cave man diet (which constipated me but helped some)At the same time though I was using 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass water 3 times a day. The sore throat left WOOHOO. I stopped the soda and the sore throat came back in 3 days with a vengence in spite of taking the my supplements. I made up a Turmeric paste used it like a losenge (some relief).
