ACV worked like a Charm! I was at 5:30 in the morning with a powerful sore throat and a hoarse voice. I had to teach a class next day and I was worried. Googled and found your website. Tried the ACV (Heinz, 5% acidity) lime juice Local-make clover honey warm water followed by rinsing my mouth to remove the acid (for my teeth). It was effective immediately! I was able to teach the next day! Thank you! I also had 5 fresh raw Basil leaves twice a day. Helped me with my cold and cough. And about 2 brown dried dates for strength.

I mixed up one recipe I found where I mixed 16 oz of water with 3 TBLS of Apple Cider Vinegar, 3 TBLS of Lemon Juice, and 2 TBLS of Honey. In less than 24 hours my sore throat (which was so bad I constantly dripped water in the back of my throat just to swallow) was COMPLETELY GONE WITHOUT A TRACE!

My daughter found your site a while ago, in desperation because she was working at a local retail store that offered no health care, and she had a horrible sore throat and decided to try the ACV, and we've been sold on it ever since. At the first signs of a cold or flu we take a shot [2 tablespoons approx.] of AVC, and then follow with a glass of water. And we repeat this 4 times in that first day, and bam! The soreness has gone by the next morning and we feel nearly 100% better. After that first day we'll do the 4 doses a day for a day or two. We used to be huge sinus infection people -- probably because we love our cats, and lived with a smoker. Now, the colds barely get a hold of us, and we never have to take antibiotics! AVC is the cure!!

Recently I was beginning to develop a sore throat to indicate a cold coming on, so I gargled and sipped on a strong mix of ACV and water and the sore throat was completely gone in a few hours.

I was suffering from sore throat for a week. My throat hurt and I could barely talk. I took Apple Cider Vinegar 2 times a day and the very next day my throat felt better. I am a believer!

I have a really sore throat and have just read some of the ideas on your site but do not have access to half the stuff suggested so i have just gargled some plain vinegar which seems to have helped along side a cup of gravy with added salt, i am also sucking strepsals in between though!

ACV is not generally available in the UK. My guarantee for success is a spoonful of sugar doused in ordinary vinegar, it bites your throat but in the words of the song, it helps the medicine go down.

okay ive been so sick for 3 days that i can barely move, cant eat, and general discomfort. i tried the 3 tbs ACV and 3 tbs of honey in a glass of tea. i hate tea but i would do this anytime my throat hurts. it was instant relief for my throat. now if i could get the rest of my body to stop aching, and these cold sweats to go away i'd be good as gold.
