[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."

EC: Actually, for acute conditions like coughs and sore throats, the usual dosage of ACV (2 TBS to 8 oz of water) will probably work better. The revised amount (2 TSP in 16 Oz of water) is good for daily maintenance, pH balancing and anti-aging.

I am just now sipping for the first time, Apple Cider Vinegar (3 tsps) Honey (3tps) and warm water (8 ounces) and I am already feeling some relief! I am also starting to sweat a little. I'm so glad I found this site!"


[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!!!!"


[YEA]  09/16/2008: Benita from Atlanta, GEORGIA: "I had a very severe sore throat. I tried the ACV with honey & garlic and it helped a great deal. I added lemon juice to the mixture for good measure. Also when, I had "the runs", I used Tumeric and it was almost working immediately. So this is a YEA for home remedies."


[YEA]  09/14/2008: Rachel from Boston, Massachusetts: "I tried the 3tbs ACV and 3 tbs honey in a mug of warm water, and let me tell you, I almost threw-up the mixture, but once I had downed it all, my throat felt 100 times better, Thanks!"


[YEA]  09/10/2008: Beki from Norman, Oklahoma: "I love eating spinach and vinegar anyway so when I saw it was a cure for my sore throat I was thrilled and it worked. Thanks so much."


[YEA]  09/04/2008: Lucy from Exshaw, Canada: "I've had a sore throat for a couple days now. It was so bad that I couldn't eat sleep or swallow comfortably. I took today off work in hope of getting better for a planned weekend hiking in the Assiniboine area. I really didn't want to cancel the trip so I looked for remedies on the net. I found this site and gave the ACV a shot. I've just drank a mug of the stuff and it is noticeably better. I think I might be in good shape for tomorrow! Thanks for all the comments!"


[NAY]  08/25/2008: Lacey from Willoughby, Ohio: "i tried the 8 ounces warmed over pickle juice. couldn't even make it through the whole glass, i drank about 4 ounces. i waited about 10 minutes, nothing, still sore. so i moved on to the 3 tbs of acv and 3 tbs of honey in hot water. i drank 8 ounces of that stuff. let me tell ya. there is no getting over the taste, i had to choke it down... it didn't cure my sore throat it only made my belly hurt!"

08/25/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "The best way to use ACV/honey 50/50 is to just swallow l/2 to l tsp very slowly every l hour or so. Another thing I use early on for sore throat is listerine or other mouth wash and hydrogen peroxide 50/50 gargle every hour from early onset of initial soreness."


[YEA]  08/13/2008: Carol from Boston, MA: "I am so grateful for this home remedy website and forum! My daughter has Mono and over the last 2 days has had an unbearably sore thoat. We tried everything (salt water gargle, steriod solution gargle, advil, codiene...) and nothing was working. She couldn't even swallow her saliva. It was preventing her from sleeping, and when you have mono, thats all you want to do. I happened upon this website and she gave it a shot. Using the 3 tablespoons of ACV and Honey in warm water was not particularly appetizing, but after drinking it, she was able to sleep 4 hours and now says that her throat is so much better. I am now a believer in home remedies!"

08/15/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Mono is a virus and every virus I have tried L-lysine on has been susceptible to it. If your daughter is l2 or older, 2000 mgm. mealtime and bedtime is the dosage, if younger decrease to l000mgm. or less at the same times. With a sore throat you will probably need to crush or dissolve for her to swallow them."


[YEA]  07/28/2008: Cretia from Cleveland, Ohio: "I actually have been drinking apple cider vinegar everyday as a part of keeping my body healthy. I stopped drinking it up until about a month ago. Looking on the internet for some home remedy relief for my sore throat, I stumbled on this site. Its kinda funny to see that this can cure a sore throat and it made me feel like I shouldn't have ever stopped drinking it at all but hey it did its job it is worth a try for all the people out there scared to take it."


[YEA]  07/25/2008: Madeline from Buffalo, NY: "I'm a singer and woke up this morning with a dull soreness and scratchy feeling in the back of my throat. I immediately went online to find a cure or a quick fix up, and I found this site! Absoultely amazing... I tried the mix of Apple Cider Vinegar, honey, and hot water. I am now drinking this amazing drink and my sore throat is GONE! Thank you so much! I used 3 tbs of ACV, 3 tbs of honey, and a cup of hot water. The taste and smell is strong at first, but you get used to it. Thank you!"
