[YEA] 01/13/2007: Gwen from Mililani, HI writes: "A week ago I felt a cold coming on and sure enough, I had a sore throat by Monday. Did my usual routine of Claritin, Jamba Juice Coldbuster, salt water gargle, and even Sudafed Cough and Cold. Those OTC remedies helped, but I wanted to annihilate the symptoms before it got worse. I searched on-line for home remedies and tried a couple -- even gargling with Coke. Saw this site, and figured, what the heck. Friday night, gargled with cayenne pepper, vinegar, honey and warm water. It worked and I was ecstatic! Gargled one more time with cayenne and hot water before bed. Got the best sleep ever in that whole week! Searched the site for other remedies for my cough and that worked too. Never going to buy OTC drugs for my cold again! Thanks so much."

My sore throat vanished almost immediately. I could finally swallow without grabbing at my throat! I wasn't brave enough to swallow it, but gargled 1 teaspoon in 4oz. warm water and felt so much better. I am off to take a nap. Thank you!!!"

[YEA] 01/12/2007: Chris from SLC, UT writes: "This has got to be the most amazing cure and instant pain remedy I've ever used. I just spent the last few days without sleep and completely losing my voice until stumbling across this website. Within hours it felt better, not perfect, but within 1 night of a decent amount of sleep the next day I feel great and I have no sore throat. I used about a teaspoon of C pepper in about 4 oz of water and gargled & drank it all night long and so far all day long. no more pain (just congestion)."

[YEA] 01/08/2007: Pat from Mount Holly, NJ writes: "Re: Red Pepper for sore throats: I went to bed early Friday But barely slept, my throat was so inflamed. Saturday I called my doctor,who has no hours but called a prescription of antibiotics to the pharmacy. While waiting for my hubby to get back with the meds I clear out the sinus with my usual saline rinse then gargled with some more warm salt water . My throat was bleeding. I NEEDED something for this NOW. To kill time I googled home remedies. It was So OUTRAGEOUS maybe it would help. DID IT EVER ! ! Within 20 minutes my throat was feeling improved. Gargled every visit to the bathroom ..... and not going to buy chloroseptic spray again. Today (Monday) I'm at work telling EVERYONE about this remedy."

[YEA] 01/07/2007: Tracy from Charlotte, NC writes: "I had been battling a sore throat for two days (Thursday and Friday). On Friday, I decided to research some home remedies for a sore throat online and I came across the cayenne pepper suggestion. Since I knew I had some of this at home, I thought I would give it a try. Reading the other testimonials also sold me. I gargled using a 4 ounce glass of warm water and cayenne pepper (I used 1/4 teaspoon). I actually went to lie down about 9:00 P.M. I got up about midnight, my throat felt a little better but I decided to gargle again. By the time I woke up this morning, about 9:00 A.M., my sore throat was gone! This really does work."

And the throat was getting more sore as the hours went by. Thought what the heck do I have to lose .... I am very happy to say that it would beautifully. I gargled on and off for several hours before I went to bed. Got up the next morning and the sore throat was gone!!"

[YEA] 01/03/2007: Sarah from UK writes: "If I ever get an infection, it is ALWAYS in my throat. My glands swell up, I can't swallow, the pain makes me utterly miserable. 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."

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!"
