I don't take any man-made medicines unless it is absolutely unavoidable. For a couple of days I had been sick with the sniffles, sore sinuses, a little cough. So I took two 1,000 milligram doses of vitamin c and as a result I felt like I was getting better the next day, which was Thanksgiving. I was able to cook dinner for 20 without feeling bad one bit. I felt so good that I had forgotten to take any more Vitamin C. The day after Thanksgiving it appeared that forgetting to take the Vitamin C had caught up with me. I went from sniffles and sinus pressure to the worst sore throat I've had in twenty years. And I don't remember ever having painful glands on the side of my throat but I had them now. I couldn't stand the pain in my glands so I came straight to Earthclinic (whose advice has practically saved my life in the past) and looked for a cure.

I did the cayenne remedy. I gargled with 1/4 tsp. Cayenne is a 1/4 cup of water. My tongue was on fire but amazingly I could swallow and in less than 15 minutes the unbearable gland pain in my neck was bearable and I would watch a movie in peace. I had sore throat for a couple more days but I didn't take anymore cayenne because it wasn't unbearable.

But yesterday I woke up feeling achy and just plain awful. I wanted to just lay on the coach and make pitiful noises but instead I looked at my tonsils. They were red, and swollen, and covered with white polka dots. I was afraid that I was feeling so horrible because my tonsils were infected but I was determined that I wasn't going to be taking antibiotics so I came back to Earthclinic and decided to do a more thorough job with the cayenne and to do a nice shot of ACV. I did the ACV first in a glass of what. Then, I took 1500 mgs. Vitamin C. Then, I poured a glass of tomato juice and added 1/2 tsp of cayenne and 1/2 tsp of salt and sipped that all day. By evening the achy feeling was gone.

Today I woke up with a slightly sore throat and no achy feeling. When I checked my tonsils they were almost a normal pink color and had only a few white spots remaining. I am continuing the tomato cayenne remedy with 1,000 mgs of Vitamin C three times a day.

I just wanted to report back that after sticking with my regimen for two days (tomato juice, cayenne and salt, with 1000 mg a day of Vitamin C) I was completely cured after 48 hours and I felt immediate relief after the first dose.
