My daughter was diagnosed with strep. Came across your site. She gargled with ACV and water. She got significant relief, but the next day it was back. Gargled again, and made a weak tea from ACV, water and honey. She drank about half, but then said it hurt her stomach. She has been keeping up the gargling, and we also painted her wrists and throat with iodine. Does anybody know how often and / or how long you can do this iodine painting? She is 16 years old. Thanks - we sure appreciate this site.

My boyfriend came down with a bad sore throat. After seeing a doctor, he found out that it was strep throat. I know strep throat is contagious! A few days later, I came down with a sore throat. Not only was it sore, but I started to see blisters develop! I became very concerned. I wanted to avoid taking any antibiotics for a number of reasons, so I happen to come across your website and saw your apple cider vinegar cures. I'm a believer in home remedies, and I didn't hesitate to try it. As soon as I started sipping on ACV, my throat started to burn, and I continued sipping it throughout the day. When I came home from work that day, I noticed that my blisters were almost gone, and my sore throat was gone! I will definitely keep ACV on hand and share this remedy with family and friends!

I've had sore throats before, but the last sore throat that I had wasn't like my usual sore throats. I had blisters, it was swelled, and it was red. Come to find out that I had strep throat. I knew I had to take some kind of antibiotics to cure it so I decided to look up some home remedies and read some comments on ACV. After using ACV the first day, I noticed that all my symptoms were gone by the next day. My other concern was what the acid in ACV would do to my teeth so I decided to buy a small spray bottle (travel size) and fill it with half ACV and water. With the spray bottle, I was able to spray just the back of my throat and avoid it getting on my teeth. I still rinsed my mouth out just to be on the safe side.

Ok I thought when I found this website that I found a bunch of apple growing kooks, trying to get us to buy the ACV, But I was desperate, I work in a very stressful high volume company with little time to be sick, I thought I was getting a sinus infection ran to the Doctor and paid him $200 to get told I also had strep throat. Went to the pharmacy and paid another small fortune for 4 medications. I began the medicine and by the next day I was worse. last night I google homeopathic cures for strep and found this site. I read about ACV, I thought that maybe ya all were crazy but I had no other choice I felt as if my head was going to blow off and the throat was on fire. I went to the store bought Heinz ACV, paid for it and got in my car and gulped some down. I began to sneeze almost immediately. Then my throat felt as if it caught fire, and within 30 seconds I could actually swallow without having to prepare myself for the pain. my sinuses are 100 percent better, my strep is not gone yet but I think I will add the diluted ACV and water sipping it today and will update on my condition in the morning. I am also going to try ACV on my young son who has had GERD since birth.
