[YEA]  12/06/2008: Thomas from Milford, PA: "cayenne for sore throats: be careful with the cayane pepper, it makes my hemroids bleed very bad. acv and honey works well for me. I use 1 tbl spoon each in hot water, but you can use more considering how bad a sore throat you have."

[YEA]  11/26/2008: Thomas from Miami, Florida: "It really works for me. I use a strong dose whenever possible. At the first signs of a strep throat or a sore throat, I make a roughly-1:1 solution of just ACV and tap water. Gargle it and sip it every hour that I'm near it. If it gets worse after a day, I change to a less-pungent mixture of 1:2 ACV and tap water. Again, gargle it and sip it each hour. It helps kill off bacteria and, for me, had pointed out where the bacteria infected. If you are well-hydrated, almost any antibacterial will work. On the final days of my sore strep throat, I had a shot of 40% ABV vodka. So long as you target the infection and stay away from other medicines (I was off Ibuprofen for several hours), you will be able to kill bacteria and relax a bit. My biggest suggestions, in addition to using apple cider vinegar, is to keep drinking. I found that peppermint gum helped relieve stuffiness, and ignoring your lack of appetite is for the best."

[YEA]  11/24/2008: Jim from Floyd, VA: "Got a sore throat Sat. morning that I attributed to hauling firewood for a couple of hours in the 20 degree temperatures. Still Sore Sunday morning with additional cold symptons so I went to the internet and found this site. Tried 3 tablespoons of Honey with 3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinager in a cup of hot water. Wow!! Pain gone before I finished the cup and a day later it has not returned. Still had cold symptons so drank the "tea" twice more and again this am. No side effects and cold symptons are minimal. One tip, hold your breath before you stick your nose of the mug, that stuff stinks."

[YEA]  11/20/2008: Mark from Kingston, NY: "Ive had this sore throat for the past few days, got really bad today. Found this side, and tried the ACV with 3 tablespoons of ACV and honey and a cup of water. I had just made tea so the water was real hot. It seams to be working very well. Hopefully will go back to work tomorrow. Thanks for the idea."

[YEA]  11/16/2008: Robbin from Chesapeake, Va: "WOW This really does work. I have been sick for a week and my throat felt like there were rocks in there every time I swallowed. I tried honey and tea, Sore throat spray and cough drops, but after the first 3 sips of the ACV in warm water with honey It felt better. I'm a believer. Thanks for this valuable info."

[YEA]  11/03/2008: C from San Diego, CA: "ACV for sore throat in a 3 year old

my 3 year old (who has a cold) woke up in the middle of the night complaining of a sore throat, i immediately gave her apple cider vinegar w/ a little bit of raw honey and a couple pinches of turmeric. i gave her 3-4 teaspoons of this concoction and she said it went away and went back to sleep. when she woke this morning she said her sore throat was still gone!"

[YEA]  10/18/2008: Elizabeth from MEMPHIS, TN: "WOW! Didnt believe that ACV thing would work! Nothing personal...I'm just a cynic by experience but honestly must say that I have just finished my first round of "sipping" and the ACV and H20 for acute sore throat has already greatly relieved the pain, unclogged my ears, and I can actually feel my nasal passage opening! I've tried at least 5 different OTC products and all I felt was dehydrated and light-headed. My throat hurt so bad that everytime I coughed a it felt like a tree the size of my fist was trying to emerge from my stomach! AND NOW...100 percent improvement from even an hour ago!

I am super grateful! I may even try to eat something later!"

[YEA]  10/15/2008: Andrew from Mesquite, NV: "I had Sore throat, congestion in my nose and cough. I use to gargle with salt water for my sore throat and didn't work as well as. The last time I had sore throat, I tried HALLS cough drops and that worked really well. Now, they don't work on me anyone. I don't know why. So I tried the APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, it worked well on my sore throat and did clear my nose, but its not working on my cough as well. I hate the taste. I'm happy with the result."

[YEA]  10/09/2008: Parminder Singh from Brampton, Ontario, Canada: "Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey in water cured my sore throat instantly! I'm surprised how well it worked. I can breathe again. Thanks bunches, dudes!"

[SIDE EFFECTS]  10/07/2008: Leslie from Jamestown, NC, USA: "I tried the 3 T ACV, 3 T Honey, and 8 oz warm water to cure my sore throat. This was a bad idea for me. I am pregnant, so my gag reflux is ultra sensitive. I tried drinking it first, but it really started to nauseate me, so I decided to gargle. As soon as it hit the back of my throat, I threw up."

[YEA]  10/04/2008: Jen from Vancouver, Wa: "I mixed 3 Tblspns of ACV and 3 Tblspns of Honey with 1 cup of warm water. After just few sips, I could feel the difference in my sore throat. It was completely gone by the time I had finished the entire glass."

[YEA]  10/01/2008: Julie from San Diego, CA, USA: "Wow! It works! I drank ACV last night. I used 1 cup of hot water mixed with 3 table spoons of ACV and 3 table spoons of honey. My sore throat is gone. I didn't see the revised ACV recipe (16oz water with 2 tablespoons of ACV). But I will ask my husband to try that. He has been coughing for 2 weeks. Cold medicines only helped with sinus problem but coughing is still pretty frequent."

[YEA]  09/25/2008: Erica R from Miami, Florida: "Apple Cider Vinegar cured my Sore Throat in a day. I gargled Apple Cider Vinegar about 6 times a day, and also drank 3 tablespoons of it in water twice a day. It really does work. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but decided to give it a try. My sore throat was much better each time I took it, and gone the next day!
Highly recommended!"

[YEA]  09/21/2008: Roger from Warrenton, Virginia: "I have had a sore throat on and off for 2 weeks. I got the usual for my doctor, antibiotic and decongestant. Three days ago I was back in as it had come back worse than before. All he did was change the antibiotic and told me to continue to use a salt water gargle. I have hardly slept since as my throat was so sore even to swallow. I happened to come across this web site early this morning and tried the ACV and honey in warm water treatment.
It worked GREAT! I used 3TBS of ACV and 3TBS of organic honey in exactly 1 cup warm water. I was nervous at first as I have GERD and IBS but it went down with no problem. My proof is in my current condition: throat pain is virtually gone and I have coughed up more crud than in the past week of taking muciinexD!!!!"
