I've only got one word you...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
That is cruel and unusual punishment for bad strep, but it got more bearable after each sip. I could feel some tingling in my face and my hands. I didn't want to wash it down because I thought the burn might actually be doing some good, ya know? I was much better after two to three sips.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for that little remedy. It helped me avoid the death trap of the emergency room once more. I mean SERIOUSLY, thank you.

Mahalo for posting this info. I was up at 3am last night with my throat closed off and desperately googling to find a remedy. I would say it was a 9 in pain. It is now three and half hours later and my throat pain is much better. I would say about a 2-3-mostly just discomfort now. I poured liberally the apple cider vinegar to about a thimble high in the cup and warmed it and sipped it. I hope it continues to work and knocks this stuff out completely. I was actually pretty surprised how well it worked since I had never heard of it before.Replied By Ellie (Ny, US) on 12/13/2014
I am so happy I found this remedy for strep throat. It has done a wonder to my 4-yr. old. She would sip the remedy throughout the day and I saw improvements in the morning of every day of sipping, great improvements. It also worked for my 1-yr. old. I am overwhelmed!!! Thank you so much for posting the remedy!Replied By Alexis (Myrtle Beach, Sc) on 12/28/2016
Last year I was desperate to find something for strep without paying for a doctor. Everything that could have gone wrong that month did- and then I developed strep for the cherry on top. I was crying from the pain of trying to swallow and after searching for about an hour I stumbled upon this link. I scrolled down to the first clear set of instructions I saw with ingredients that I knew was in my cabinet. It was this one at the time. Sir, you saved me. I had a bad case of it and after about 4 days it was over. All thanks to you and this recipe. Absolute genius. I've been sharing it with everyone I know since then. I should have written this then.. but after everyone around me has fallen sick this week I remembered to try to find your post again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
