Strep Throat Tonsilitits cure...a lifesaver!I am home sick today and my thoughts were to go see the doctor about my inflamed and white tonsils. Just the thought of getting the energy to get dressed has me exausted. Waiting in the emergecy room just be told to wait forever and be sent home for a prescription of antibiotics with a total cost of 100 bucks or more has me feeling sicker.
My throat is sore, raw, and I can't eat a thing without screaming in pain. I came across your website with all the postings about cayanne pepper and acv. I am a firm believer in home remedies so I concocted a mixture of acv, cayanne pepper, sea salt and hot water. I gargled with this for 1 min and to my amazement I was able to swallow some of the mixture to help with the inflamed tissues gargling could not reach. Acv works miricles and now I feel almost human again. Thanks for your website. Your a lifesaver!

Ok....So I could hardly swallow, looked in the back of my throat and it was littered with white patches, a sure sign of Strep Throat. It progressively got worse, that's when I stumbled onto this site! Thank You!!!! I swear to you, this works, and it worked quickly!!! A couple of things. I recommed the following: Drink 1 whole lemon fresh squeezed juice, some pure honey for sweetness, a few dashes of Apple Cider Vinegar (the taste was quite strong for me...so I didn't do a whole lot). A couple ounces of water, and a bunch of dashes of cayenne pepper (until the mix turned red). I took this as a shot!!! Bottoms up.. a couple times a day. In between those shots, I gargaled with cayenne pepper water mix (about 6 mouth fulls each time) again, water and cayenne unitl it turned good and red. In addition to that I sucked on Garlic gloves, raw garlic cloves. A couple of times a day. They weren't that bad. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SITE!!! My throat looked awful, I couldn't hardly swallow, and just feel plain terrible! My energy is through the roof and throat is 100% better!!! In less than 3 days.....THANK YOU....THIS WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne Pepper and Honey. Once a year I would get strep throat, tonsilitis, all kinds of infection in the ear, nose and throat area. Well I can truly say. . . I looked on your site after being in pain for a day and gargling with applecider vinegar and decided to try the other ingredients. After on sip my throat seemed to be opening up. My tonsils are truly swollen and it makes me want to cry when I have to swallow, thanks alot for this cool remedy. My glands are swollen also and I can't stand the copay for doctors so I look for remedies always.

I've been bugged with a sore throat/strep for a little while now and being that it was Christmas holiday all the doctors were closed. I came across your website and the this idea and ran out to the only open market to get some ACV and Cayenne and then rushed home to try it immediately. So far so good--it definitely has killed some of the pain after one treatment. I made a tea of it with hot water, pepper, and ACV (though I upped it to 10 dashes of pepper as I'm a little too used to spicy food). I also bought some fresh garlic to try that route at the same time. Can't hurt to try both! :) Fingers crossed that continues to kill whatever is in there. Thanks so much for the tips!

I went online and searched everywhere for remedies for a sore throat. At the time I was unaware it was strep throat. I stumbled upon this web site and started to read about the "miracles" of ACV. At first I thought, what kind of cult followers are these? In the end I was desperate and needed some relief now since my doctor appt. wasn't till the next day at noon. I made a few cups of ACV and Cayenne pepper with honey that afternoon and evening. Less than 24 hrs later my throat pain was gone and the antibiotic the Doctor prescribed wasn't even in my system long enough to work that fast. Within 2 days of the initial symptoms of strep, I felt like I had nothing wrong with me. I am a believer of AVC and Cayenne pepper and have decided to add it to my life on an everyday basis. Anything that gave me that much relief and energy so fast and had no long ugly pharmaceutical name behind it, must be good for me. Now the only problem I have is trying to get my 4yr old to take it. Any suggestions? Thank you Earth Clinic for life long advice!
