CAYENNE PEPPER READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  02/27/2007: Diane from Cincinnati, OH writes: "Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. My throat was raw and sore from coughing. I read about gargling hot water with 1/4 tsp of Cayenne Pepper. After I gargled a glassful, my throat wasn't sore. For added benefit, I followed up with a 12 oz. cup of hot water with 2 T. of ACV, 1 tsp. honey and 1/4 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper. The taste was tolerable. My throat felt good afterwards."

[YEA]  02/26/2007: Francois from Gatineau, QC writes: "Wow, can't believe it! Had a sore throat that lasted 4 weeks. My doctor prescribed me Amoxicillin and it didn't work at all. Found this site and tried the Cayenne pepper remedy and it worked after 2 days!!"

[YEA]  02/26/2007: Leane from Montreal, Canada writes: "I found this site by googling "sore throat" "can't swallow" as I felt I had a huge swollen golf ball in my throat and was spitting saliva as swallowing it hurt too much. I tried gargling 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper in a mug (8oz) hot water, and wow.... I could swallow, I could breathe, the golf ball entirely disappeared, throat felt lubricated. I could eat dinner with my guests as planned, and felt great. The results were so good I kept sipping a tea (same proportions, though the cayenne settles to the bottom) all the next day, still good results. Then yesterday (day 3) I xcountry skied and chatted all day while drinking hot chocolate instead of the cayenne. This morning, sore throat and laryngitis. !! I am back continually sipping the cayenne now and my voice isn't back (I suspect the cayenne cannot get into the larynx unless you drown in it) but my throat is SO much better. Maybe my cayenne is cheap and old (at least a year) so is less spicy than what some others have, but I found 1/4- 1/2 tsp in 1 large mug hot water to be so pleasant I am going to keep drinking it instead of other herbal teas. mmm. Kind of like clamato juice or chili con carne. Apparently it is good for migraines and digestion too, lots of Vitamin a, C and complete B. thanks!!"

[NAY]  02/25/2007: Kitt from Levittown, PA writes: "Tried gargling with cayenne pepper for my miserable sore throat. I have been up all night. My throat is still very sore and I still can't swallow, so I can't say much for the cayenne pepper theory. It DID clear out a lot of mucous though and my sinuses are quite clear! I'll keep trying it for a while longer, but it did nothing for the pain except add a burny feeling to it! Going to try one readers suggestion of ginger next. Bet this would be awesome next time I have a normal head cold though (aside from the taste, yuck!)"

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Sara from Miami writes: "I am 36 weeks prego and there aren't many choices of medications I can take or feel comfortable taking.I just came down with a sore throat and I feel as if a cold is coming on. I went to google and found this site. Thank god! I did my usual lemon juice and salt but that didn't work. Now I just used the cayanne pepper with water and instant relief. No pain and I will be doing it in the next 15 minutes."

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Bruce from Virginia Beach, VA writes: "Never in my life have I experienced instant results from any sort of home remedies. The cayenne and water remedy took effect instantly and knocked my sore throat out like clockwork."

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Lindsay from Salt Lake City, Utah writes: "Ahhh! finally I can eat something without feeling like crying from pain. I have had a really bad sore throat for 3 days now. The back of my throat was red, raw, and looked like it was bleeding. Tried cough drops, otc throat spray, advil, etc and nothing touched the pain. So googled sore throat cure and thankfully this site came up. I alternated gargling the water and cayenne with drinking the ACV, lemon, cayenne, honey, hot water. It is now about an hour after i found this site, my sore throat is much better, not gone yet but tolerable. Thanks"

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Eric from Phoenix, AZ writes: "So I'm sitting here with I think the worst sore throat I have had in my life, reading everyone's comments about the cayenne pepper remedy So I pull out a glass with warm/hot water, dumped some C pepper and started gargling. I'm not going to lie it burned my lips and tongue like no tomorrow. I gargled about 15 mins ago and i can tell a slight relief already. Ill try again shortly. I also had some really bad nasal congestion but that Cayenne pepper is clearing that up too! God I hope this works cause I feel like I'm falling apart!"

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Rick from Grand Rapids, MI writes: "I started getting a sore throat yesterday evening around 5:30. I normally chew Zinc or Vitamin C tablets.....but that didn't work this time. I woke up this morning with an incredibly sore throat finding it hard to breathe/talk/eat. I saw this Cayenne pepper & water "cure" and was very skeptical. To my surprise, I've done it five times today, 15 minutes apart, and my sore throat is pretty much GONE. Hopefully it stays away!! Note: I thought the Cayenne pepper and water would be horrible....but it really doesn't taste like anything....just has a little bite to it for an aftertaste. Off to do another round. Take care!"

[YEA]  02/24/2007: Krystal from Indianola, MS writes: "I just want to say that this warm water and cayenne pepper remedy really does work. This is really true. Yesterday I couldn't swallow worth a damn but today i feel much much much better. Its a gross taste though and it made me throw up 1 time lol but I'm fine today. Still sore just a lil bit but it'll be gone before the weekend is over."

[YEA]  02/23/2007: Molly from Calgary, Canada writes: "THANK YOU! I have never felt so sick as I have for the past 48 hrs. I have had a fever, coughing, aches in my entire body and finally a very raw bleeding sore throat. Its 4:30am and I woke up unable to to sleep due to the pain. I mixed some in a cup of cold water and even though I cannot barely tolerate spicy foods, I tried it out. It is working so far! I have gargled 3 times over the past 45 mins and now I am able to breath and swallow without feeling like crying. I will continue this treatment throughout the night and during the day tomorrow This is for real. This is amazing!"

[YEA]  02/22/2007: Andrew from Fort Lauderdale, FL writes: "I am so glad I stumbled on this site.. About a week ago I found this site searching for a home remedy for dry and cracked hands and was really taken buy it. In any event, two days ago I went to work and felt really drained and with the onset on a sore throat. I didn't think much of it at the time, but buy the end of my shift I felt really drained and the sore throat was kicking. I had a particular soreness to one side. I came home went to sleep and woke up at the symptoms were worse. By the afternoon I was exhausted and figured some sleep would be good for repair. I woke up aching and still with the sore throat. So, I went on this site and found the cayenne pepper cure and decided to give it a shot. It works, It works, It works... Cast aside your doubts, and fears about home remedies and in particular this one. I started off gargling a full teaspoon mixed with 12 ounces of water repeatedly for 15 minutes. (I mistook the original recipe which said every 15 minutes and did it for 15 minutes straight) It burned and was not fun, but having a sore throat is worse. After that I read it said to gargle every 15 minutes with a 1/4 tea spoon of cayenne in 4oz of water. I did this until I went to bed. In addition I had a few glasses of tea with a little Apple Cider Vinegar (2 table spoons). I woke up this morning and I have no, I mean no sore throat. No fever, no body aches, no headaches.. Nothing.. Absolutely wonderful. My deepest thanks."

[YEA]  02/17/2007: Georgia from England writes: "I woke up with a terrible throat and cough this morning and it even hurt when i breathed in and spoke. So, i was just looking on the internet to see what cures came up. Then, i came across this website! Soon i was off to the shops to buy some cayenne powder! When i had got some i gargled with it every 15 minutes. after the first try it didn't help much but i carried on. About 1/2 hours later my throat is better! i am still gargling though just to make sure it stays that way because it said to use the full glass before you stop. i am so grateful for this website and now i can talk as much as i want! Thank you again so much, Georgia xxxxx"

[YEA]  02/16/2007: Ana from NYC writes: "It has only been an hour since I started the treatment of cayenne and water, but for years I've suffered from this and today I found this website with a cure. I already feel so much better, I was having trouble even swallowing saliva and now my pain is almost gone and I am having water. AMAZING! Thank you for this."

[YEA]  02/16/2007: Beth from Spring Hills, FL writes: "I just tried the cayenne pepper remedy (put it in some chicken bouillon to hide taste) and had the same problem with keeping it stirred up. So, then I tried using salsa instead of the c.b. and it worked great. Probably has some additives but tasted better and stayed stirred up better! For what that's worth..... Thanks, I enjoy your site very much."

A minute later, she writes again: "CAYENNE PEPPER. OKAY,I JUST TRIED IT AND GARGLED MAYBE 3 TIMES IN A ROW. BURNED LIKE THE DICKENS, MAYBE I PUT TOO MUCH CAYENNE, BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DAYS, MY THROAT FEELS A BIT BETTER. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE THIS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY THINK THERE'S AN END TO THIS PAIN. THANK GOD FOR MY COMPUTER AND FOR YOU PEOPLE WITH THIS IDEA! THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN! I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO THE ER, BUT WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT IT TO MAKE IT STOP. LOVE YA ALL"

[YEA]  02/14/2007: Easton (archer17009@yahoo.com) from Torrance, CA writes: "After only one coffee cup filled with water and cayenne pepper, my sore throat pain had decreased by 25-40%. I'm gonna try again in the morning, but for now, it's back to bed. I stumbled upon this remedy at 3:30 AM, after waking up due to severe pain. Now I can actually get back to bed! Thanks, Penny!"

[YEA]  02/13/2007: Kelsey from Menifee, CA writes: "After waking up achy and light-headed with flu/cold symptoms, and having it stick for three days I was scrambling around the internet trying to find something to kill the virus off (whatever it was) so that I could go back to work. First I tried the cayenne pepper for my sore throat - miraculous, went away immediately and as of today (day 6) has not come back. I've been taking the ACV once a day and do feel better but I'm not sure if the virus is just running its course or whether the ACV is helping. Then I tried peroxide in the ears - quite uncomfortable but my body aches were gone by the next morning and haven't returned. So I'd give a thumbs up to the peroxide and cayenne for sure."

[YEA]  02/10/2007: Jenny from Maple Grove, MN writes: "I have had a sore throat for three days now, the most painful one I have ever experienced. I was actually in PAIN each time I tried to swallow. I read this website and sent the kids to the store to buy some. I mixed the water and cayenne and so far have gargled three times and it feels a little better, I'll check back tomorrow."
