However, a search on google showed up this site and I am so glad I tried it. I started at 8 am, it is now 10.30amand having gargled about half a teaspoon in a glass of water every 15 minutes, the pain has definitely diminished and my glands feel smaller. Fantastic. Thank you."

[YEA] 01/01/2007: Garrick from Corning, CA writes: "I'm a 17 year old from California, and my entire family has been coming down with some pretty nasty sickness. My grandfather owns a family run business, so when one uncle got it, so did my grandfather, my dad, and everyone else that works there. They all got sore throats the first few days which led to just generic sickness. Stomach feels bad, coughing, dizziness. I had so far been free of the plague until yesterday night when my throat began feeling sore. I knew what was coming but ignored it until the morning. This morning I woke up with terrible pain in my throat, it felt swollen, and it hurt to swallow. I immediately jumped on google for sore throat cures and your remedy came up. It worked perfectly after 4 gargles over about an hour. I just took a small cup and lined the bottom with cayenne and filled the rest with warm water, gargling as long as I could then swallowing a little bit afterwards. After the first time I felt significantly better, and my throat was only a little raw, but after the 2nd time it went away completely! I did it a couple more times for good measure and I'm now doing it periodically just to be sure it doesn't come back. What a great cure!!! Although I still feel semi-sick I no longer have a sore throat which was the worst of it. I'll recommend this cure, and this site, to everyone."

I've gargled three times this morning and already there is a marked improvement in my throat and I'm not coughing as much. I must give a WARNING though...I didn't know the quantities to start with so used a teaspoon full in one mug of water and it damn nearly blew my head off!!! A quarter of a teaspoon is quite enough! Good stuff though."

[YEA] 12/27/2006: Lila from London writes: "Hi, i must say that i am astounded at the effectiveness of this concoction.i have been suffering from a very very sore throat since yesterday, i was awake all last night because of the pain .this morning i was so fed up of taking painkillers that i went to the gp very very early 9.30 hoping to see a doctor and a magical cure. AS usual i was greeted by a very scary looking receptionist with a big patronizing smile who said "no more appointments left for today unfortunately you'll have to come back tomorrow"in a tone of voice you would have to be crazy to challenge.so i just shook my head in agreement vigorously and made hasty return to my flat back to my misery.Then all of a sudden i thought why not google it? And i came upon this cure. GUESS WHAT? it really really works .i was afraid to try it at first obviously i mean a chili dissolved in water gargle on a sore throat? That sounded so crazy that i was throwing insults at the computer for being insensitive and stupid. Then after searching and suffering and only finding the only other usual alternatives like water and salt or lemon and water i decided to give it a try .i mean at that point i had nothing to lose i was already on my death bed. so i got a glass of warm water and mixed a teaspoon of chili in it and gargled with that every 15 mins until it finished .that was around 12oclock today its now about four in the afternoon i have just had a nice meal-trust me that's a big accomplishment after nearly two days of not being able to swallow anything. I've looked in the mirror as well at my throat, it was looking very very red this morning with thick white coatings of pus. now its nearly returned back to its pinkish purplish hue and the white stuff is less as well so this gargle gets an absolute 10/10 from me"

[YEA] 12/26/2006: Donna from Wana WV writes: "Guys I have to tell you, I HATE, LOATHE and DESPISE anything that leaves that burning sensation in my mouth. But I had a sore throat so bad today that I couldn't talk or swallow my own saliva. I was desperate! I came on the internet and found this remedy. I prefer to use home natural remedies when I can---well let me just say, that this remedy has got to be one of the nastiest ones! BUT, BY GOD IT WORKS!!!! Within 15 minutes I was able to talk. I have done it twice this past 1/2 hour and it still hurts a bit when I swallow, but hey at least I can swallow! I am completely sold on this one! Next sign of scratchy throat, I am grabbing my cayenne pepper!! Thank you so much for having this on here and all the positive feedback---that's what encouraged me to try it!!"

[YEA] 12/26/2006: Samford from Louisville, KY writes: "I just tried this remedy after waking up with a major sore throat. I'm still shocked that it worked. I love hot food but all I wanted was relief, and that's what I got. I had tried hot tea, honey, lemon, vitamins a&c, and homemade chicken noodle soup, but nothing even slightly alleviated the soreness like the cayenne. Five minutes until the next gargle. Thank you to the guinea pigs who dared to try this first."

[YEA] 12/22/2006: Iris from Escondido, CA writes: "yesterday afternoon i started to feel a little scratchy-ness in my throat, and i just blew it off thinking maybe it was from yelling or eating spicy food. This morning i woke up and my throat was throbbing and it felt swolen. Tomorrow i start my new job early in the morning and i knew i wouldn't be able to stand it with a sore throat so i looked online and found this site. i tried the cayenne pepper in water first thing and it worked magic. i gargled a few times and i swallowed a little bit and its not even that spicy just a little burn of the tongue, but it is soooooo worth it getting rid of a sore throat that fast!"

[YEA] 12/14/2006: John from Louisville, KY writes: "I was suffering from a sore throat which i thought was from a cold. Needed something because it was keeping me up at night. I found this site, tried it with some thick (which sucked) red peppers from the kitchen. WOW!!! is all i can say, yeah it was hot, but boy did it work.. First i thought, boo, its just because of the hot peppers distracting me from the pain. NOPE 4 hours later, still no pain. It did come back about half way through my work day, but i had picked some cayenne peppers up on the way. Another dose, another 3-5 hours pain free.. Amazing TRUELY AMAZING!! I went in and told my boss, "you know the reason i don't go to the doctor, cuz doctors don't give you real info" LOL!! Great fix, love this site"

[YEA] 12/11/2006: David from Palo Alto, CA writes: "This cayenne pepper remedy is a MIRACLE worker. I woke up on Saturday with the worst sore throat I have had in years. Sore throats are the part of a cold I hate MOST. Well anyway, this coming week starting tomorrow is finals week. I thought that I would have to skip the finals or worse, take them sick. I jumped online right when I woke up and found this remedy. On Saturday I gargled cayenne pepper in water every 15 minutes for 3 hours in the morning and and at night. To my surprise I woke up the next day with a mere scratchy throat. That day I gargled cayenne pepper only twice (at night). And the best part is that it cured most of my sinus problems that came with a cold. I woke up today with no sore throat whatsoever. I can now study all day without interruptions and without a cold in peace. Thanks Earthclinic!"

[YEA] 11/30/2006: Monica from Chicago, IL writes: "I was having a sore throat, on and off, and this morning it was so severe that as i was checking my e mails, i decided to figure out a way to cure it by searching online. I stumbled across this site and i read about the cayenne pepper in warm water. I went and gargled the water and I was shocked to see how true and how fast it worked. And my throat was really hurting. It was like right after that, I felt so much better. Although my voice is still a bit horse, i will keep up with the cayenne pepper and warm water. Hopefully I will be cured as if nothing happened. I also saw the ACV column and I do have an on and off weight problem. I gain weight very easily so i was looking for a simple, non harsh way to fix it as I'm not a bad eater and I am kinda active. I have started the drink as of today and will keep you updated as soon as i see a result. After the cayenne pepper working, I am confident something good will come of the ACV also. I'm so glad i found this site. Thank you and thanks to the readers who help out with their experiences and comments."

[YEA] 11/29/2006: D from Atlanta, GA writes: "I've had a sore throat for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately I had run out of cayenne pepper and forgot to get it every time I went to the store. I finally got some yesterday and gargled with a very STRONG concoction of cayenne and water. My sore throat disappeared after a few hours. Be careful how many shakes of pepper you do. I did about 5 shakes and my mouth burned like crazy for about 15 minutes... Had to suck on an ice cube!"

[YEA] 11/17/2006: Karrie from Kent, WA writes: "Amazing. I was very skeptical. I tried the iodine "cure" first because it was painless and I was afraid of drinking the cayenne (yes, I am a wimp). After two days of a very sore throat and an important week of meetings coming up, I was desperate to try it and so I bit the bullet and tried the gargle. It wasn't near as hot as I expected and to my amazement within a few hours I had a ton of relief. I woke up the next day totally cured and it has been 4 days and it didn't return. Completely healed. I will spread the word of this cure and this website. THANK YOU!!"

[YEA] 11/15/2006: Mikey from Sault Ste. Marie writes: "So when I first came on this website I was pretty skeptical of whether or not I was going to gargle hot pepper in my mouth. Then I saw a girl Lisa from my home town Sault Ste. Marie posted some feedback. I thought that this must be a real remedy because of the obscure hometown reference. I don't like hot food too too much, and it sounded gross. It's actually not that bad, nowhere near as gross as buckleys and many medicines you get at the pharmacy. It does make your throat tingle from the hotness, but it's not that bad. The best part, I haven't coughed since I took the first gargle ! I strained a tiny muscle in my ribs from all the coughing, and so every time i'd cough it would really sting in that area, I couldn't take it anymore. That is why I went online to do research. I have already been taking Advil, Vicks cadies, Vitamin C, Honey, Cough syrup, using Vaporub and drinking tea. None of it worked, or if it did, it was very temporary. Thank you so much for the important information."

My colds usually last about a week and generally develop into sinus problems but this time they didn't. Will pass your site on to other sufferers."

[YEA] 11/01/2006: Daniela from New York, NY writes: "Cayenne pepper gave me some relief, it looked like it was working as anesthetic, but the real healing of a very bad sore throat happened when I put together cayenne extract and a tea spoon of Osha root extract. A Nepalese man at the Health Food Store went directly to this herb and told me this is the strongest cure in Chinese medicine for the throat. It really worked, I added also some garlic. I both swallowed and gargled with it. Thank you a lot for your site!"
