CAYENNE PEPPER READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  04/14/2007: Patrick from Aurora, IL writes: "Ok, put me in the huge skeptic group. I went to bed with a minor sore throat and woke up during the night with a very painful sore throat. It kept me up for most of the rest of the night. I got up this morning and started searching for remedies. I found this one and thought I would give it a try. I enjoy hot foods so I thought I would kick up the strength a bit. Others recomended 2 tsp/8 oz of water. I increased it to 1 tbsp/8 oz of water. I gargeled 2 oz and immediately realized that I may have used a little too much cayenne. I only did this for about 30 seconds. Right now my throat feels COMPLETELY 100% BETTER!! From now on, I will no longer go to the medicine cabinet but rather the spice cabinet for a sore throat remedy."

[YEA]  04/14/2007: Crystal from Elkins, WV writes: "Pepper remedy!!!!! 3 to choose from!!! This morning I woke up with a wretched sore throat! I have to go out tonight with some of my friends so I decided to google a remedy. The truth is Cayenne pepper and both crushed red pepper flakes WORK WONDERS! I ran out of cayenne so I substituted with red pepper flakes! I am telling you after gargling about 5 times I feel completely better! Also, I ate a few fresh jalapeno peppers to get down my throat and this worked extremely well!! After gargling I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND EATING A FEW JALAPENOS.....IF THEY ARE REALLY HOT THEY WILL DO THE JOB!!!!"

[YEA]  04/12/2007: Brandy from Mobile, Alabama writes: "I've heard that mixing equal parts of cayenne pepper, lemon juice and honey in a tablespoon works well for sore throats. One technique is to take the cayenne pepper and honey first and then suck on a lemon wedge afterwards."

Anyway I currently have a sore throat and I'm taking a test of the Cayenne pepper remedy because for about 4 days I have had a soar throat and today its unbearable and I am worried because I take off For vegas to an annual competition and we hope to get gold this year. well I'm trying it right now and little by little its going away and I can't believe it I CAN ACTUALLY SWALLOW (FINALLY) But to all those who say it doesn't just be patient try it with ur fav tea and see a DOC. But one drink wont cure it right away keep drinking it until u feel bette.r Well see ya and 10,000 thanx. GO CHIEFS"

[YEA]  04/09/2007: R from Irvine, CA writes: "I've had a sore throat for 2 days now and it has reached the point of becoming unbearable. So, I decided to try Cayenne pepper and it instantly cured my sore throat. I put two teaspoons of Cayenne pepper in a cup and filled it with warm water. Then gargled for 15 seconds each, and spit out.. I also swallowed a tiny amount. I kept doing this until my tongue started feeling the burning sensation. As a suggestion, I recommend keeping milk in your mouth until the burning sensation disappears. Milk is a base that counteracts the acid of the pepper."

[YEA]  04/08/2007: Verne from Seattle, WA writes: "I have never looked on the internet for a cure for sore throat till this week when I was ready to go to the doctor after 5 days of swollen glands and pain. Found this site in the middle of the night after gargling warm salt water, peroxide etc. The Cayenne pepper mixed with warm water, I went to bed and could sleep and sore throat was gone by mid morning . Thanks"

[YEA]  04/07/2007: Leslie from Miami, Florida writes: "Hello, I started feeling really bad yesterday. I was running a fever and had the body aches but no sore throat. I took the dayquil and and fell asleep and when I woke up this morning my body aches were gone as well as my fever but I have the worst sore throat ever. I can hardly swallow without cringing and almost crying. I decided to search the internet for home remedies and I cam across this website. I was reading the comments and was immediately thinking this will not work for me. I continued with my morning and then came back to read more comments and decided to try it out. I did not have any cayenne pepper but I had crushed red pepper. I put a good amount of crused red pepper flakes in some warm water and gargled the whole cup, and I could start to feel the pain going away when I was gargling. I finished the cup and then made some hot tea with honey and lemon. I can tell you at this point, I feel better but the pain is still there but not as prevalent as before I started the gargling technique. I am going to continue gargling with the peppers and water as well as the honey and lemon tea and I will see how it makes me feel. I will keep you posted. Thank you for this website!"

[YEA]  04/07/2007: Martin from Hillside, NJ writes: "I don't know what did it but it a warm cup of water I mixed vinegar, cayenne peppper hotsauce, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (the ones u get with pizza). I jus gargled until I finished the whole cup. I did it about 2wice in 1 day but it really cured me. I mean it was disgusting but it really did help me it really really did!!!!!"

[YEA]  04/04/2007: Ross from Drexel Hill, USA writes: "Ok, I'm one of the biggest doubters ever and I never try anything. My sore throat pain was so bad that I couldn't eat or sleep for three days. I tried a z-pack and the salt water and it only seemed to get worse although my fever broke. After gargling once with red pepper i could already talk and drink water easily for the first time. I am going to gargle again in fifteen an maybe get something to eat. Ill keep you posted. Thanks"

[YEA]  04/02/2007: Kristi from Fredericksburg, VA writes: "Hot wings are my method of making my throat feel better. Not sure that it 'cures' the sore throat, but it numbs the pain (probably like cayenne)...and lets you heal whatever ailment you have without the pain; plus, the chicken gives you nourishment while you probably have a lack of appetite for other foods. I always take a teaspoon of salt mixed with warm water and gargle at least 3 times before bedtime, also. Usually it helps and I feel better the next day...only once has this not worked out, but then Ibuprofen always does the trick!!"

[YEA]  04/02/2007: Julie from Marlborough, Massachusetts writes: "I've had the worst sore throat for three days, and since I recently changed doctors my new doctor was not going to be able to see me for at least a week (call me impatient, but there's no way i can sit around in this kind of pain for over a week). so i checked out this site, and i tried the cayenne pepper cure. I added my own twist to it, I took a can of tomato soup and added a very large amount of cayenne pepper, plus some crushed red pepper flakes and some powdered garlic. it stung like the dickens going down, but less than two hours later i feel so much better. i could barely swallow anything this morning, it hurt so bad i was almost in tears, i can't believe this made me feel so much better in such a short amount of time. i'm going to keep drinking the soup and cayenne pepper and see how everything goes. thank you!!!"

[YEA]  03/29/2007: Hayley from England, england writes: "cayenne pepper helped to cure my extremely sore throat i gargled 1tsp in warm water and immediately noticed a difference gargled every hour just got better and better."

Almost INSTANTLY my throat was totally relieved. Now, I pray sleep will come and I can carry on with my day tomorrow without being grumpy. Thanks for reading, Hope you feel better soon!"

[YEA]  03/26/2007: Brian from Cirencester, UK writes: "I wouldn't call it a 'cure' but a very good relief. I had a terrible sore throat but gargling with 1tsp of cayenne in a tumbler of warm water for as long as I could stand took away the pain COMPLETELY for up to about an hour and a half. My throat went in a couple of days but I put that down to me fighting the bugs off. If you find the burning sensation on the lips too much, try a milk drink or yoghurt after gargling. I'll be heading for the spice rack next time I get a sore throat for sure."

[YEA]  03/25/2007: Jenn from Chicago, IL writes: "I have had terrible pain in my throat for almost 4 days now. The worst part is, it's spring break! I have plans to go to the dells with my best friend tomorrow and I would hate to cancel that. I have already had to cancel movie nights with my friends because of my sore throat. So at last I Googled "Sore Throat Cures" and this site came up! This was the first time I've ever heard of this remedy, but I decided to give it a try because the doctor prescription certainly did nothing. I've only gargled 3 times now, but my throat seems 50% better within 35 minutes or so! Now I don't have to cringe every time I have to swallow or eat something. Thank you so much, now I can go on a trip of a lifetime! Love you guys!"

[YEA]  03/24/2007: Jessica from Camarillo, United States of America writes: "I just recently tried this, right when I had givin up all hope. I'm only a kid, but this recipe made me feel better. My sore throat was soooo bad, I began to cry. I tried this, and almost instantly I felt better. You need to try this recipe! It worked for me, so it should work for you."

[YEA]  03/22/2007: Sara from Scottsdale, AZ writes: "OMG!! "I woke up with the worst sore throat in the history of time this morning. My lymph node is the size of a golf ball, went to the doc and he said it was viral. I couldn't take it anymore...i could not even cry bc it put too much strain on my throat. Googled "sore throat remedys" and this website came up. God Bless You Guys!!!! I have only gargled one time and i can say that its a 30% better already! I am sipping tea with lemon and a dash of cayenne right now and think that it's helping too...Thank you guys. My friend was going to take me to ER but i think i can tolerate it now:-)"

[YEA]  03/20/2007: Ricky from Lexington, Texas writes: "I've had a sore throat for about 2 days now and hadn't planned on using anything because nothing has ever worked in the past. Decided to google "sore throat remedy" this morning and found your site. I ran out at lunch and bought some organic ceyenne pepper and bottled water. I mixed 1 tsp of ceyenne with 12 oz of water and gargled about five times. Believe it or not, my sore throat is already almost gone. Great remedy! Now I'm going to try the ACV for HBP. Thanks!"

[YEA]  03/20/2007: Girish from Chicago, IL writes: "Here is why (I think) Cayenne Pepper works: Cayenne Pepper contains Capsaicin - which known to us for long time as a great pain killer. When one gargles with pepper powder, capsaicin overloads the nerve endings in the throat giving instance relief from the pain. If you gargle on a regular basis then the nerves are overloaded and you don't feel pain. Capsaicin is used in chronic pain management exactly for same reason. I don't think it has any curative qualities in this case (like getting rid of the actual infection), but the pain relief is great!"

[YEA]  03/19/2007: ROBERT from BEDFORD , PA writes: "I HAD A TERRIBLE SORE THROAT AND HAVE'NT HAD ONE LIKE THIS SINCE I WAS A CHILD. I TRIED OVER THE COUNTER STUFF AND IT DID'NT WORK. I LOOKED UP ON THE NET FOR SORE THROAT CURE AND IT LEAD ME TO EARTH CLINIC. I READ ABOUT THE CAYENNE PEPPER CURE AND I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL, BUT KNEW THAT HOME REMEDIES WORK BETTER THEN ALOT OTHER STUFF. I TRIED IT JUST AS IT STATED AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS, MY THROAT FELT SO MUCH BETTER AND I KEPT IT UP THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND IT WAS ALMOST GONE AND I COULD TALK BETTER AND EVEN EAT NOW. TILL BED TIME I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THIS I TOLD ALL MY CO WORKERS AND FAMILY THE NEXT DAY. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL IDEAS."

[YEA]  03/17/2007: Janel from Tampa, Florida writes: "I had the worst sore throat that began over spring while I was in the Bahamas. I couldn't swallow without this UNBEARABLE pain. When I got back from my vacation I still had the sore throat so I came online and searched some home remedies. I came across this one and just read it because I thought it was a joke. But I began to read all the comments and how it worked so well for everyone. So I thought, why not give it a shot. I went out and bought honey, C. Pepper, and white vinegar. Came home and gargled every 15 minutes for the night, and to my shock my sore throat was gone...I couldnt believe it. This stuff is incredible!!!"
