i was very skeptical when i saw this as a remedy for a sore throat but, it really worked! i did not however feel it instantly, but i drank it and over night it got better. thank you for the new tip!
I've had the worst sore throat for last five days following a sinus infection and a cold. After the cold had ran it's course I was still left with the lingering cough and irritating sore throat. Not to mention losing my voice on and off all week. I tried cough medicine from Robitussin to tylenol cough and cough (although the tylenol provided temporary pain relief; as soon it wore off the back came back)I also tried zytrec and sudafed (because i was told it might be allergies.) To my dismay nothing worked out. I got desperate and begun searching the web for a home remedy. And alas....(harps play here...) I found this site. When i saw pickle juice I figured this is a win-win situation. I love pickles... and i found it quite delightful to swig the juice. And i can say i'm never been more pleasantly surprised that it actually seems to work!! It was only about a hour ago that i drank it so i don't know if it's effects are going to last; but i've got my fingers crossed. Thank you so much for publishing this cure.
I had a very bad sore throat the other night. I tried drinking hot tea w/honey and gargled salt water. Neither of them worked very well. I ran a search on Yahoo for "Home Remedies for Sore Throat" and came across your website. I tried the Pickle juice and amazingly enough it relieved my sore throat almost instantly. Thank you very much. I will be passing along this home remedy for many years to follow.

I developed a sore throat, but did not think that it was anything to worry about... Then the next day, it got worse, swallowing and talking being very painful at times... I searched for sore throat cures in google, found Earth Clinic, and looked through the remedies listed... I was quite surprised to see Pickle Juice as one of the cures - but then remembered learning of vinegar's bacteria fighting properties... So, I gave the cure a try and lo and behold - my sore throat felt better within the first few sips... I like Earth Clinic
alright so i was talking to my friend paige and we were looking for sore throat cures online and all of a sudden i saw this one. it seemed easy and surely enough i had a jar of pickles so i drank it (almost choked! haha) and pretty much instantly it helped me! ....thanks ppl and paige for watching me and laughing! haha
Dill pickle juice cures sore throats. This is remedy that my aunt told me she has used all of her life and it really works!! I now keep a jar of this juice in my refrigerator at all times.
Drinking pickle juice really did work. I have been sick for three days with a sore throat and the pain of swallowing went away almost at the first gulp! THANK YOU!!!
