I've had a horrible cough for the past four nights. It keeps me up well into the night, extremely painful and sometimes I feel like I'm going to throw up. So I looked online for a remedy and came across the recipe for AVC and honey on this website. I tried two tablespoons of AVC and 1 tablespoon of honey and it soothed my cough greatly. Now, I must admit, it tastes horrible, but it works! And it's worth it.

I want to thank you for this website. Last 7 years every time I would get a cold it would go straight into a full blown cronic cough for at least 2 to 3 months. The doctors have gave me the highest dose of cough syrup, inhalers, steroids and it wouldn't touch it. So last night i finally was desperate, because i had not slept in 4 days. so i saw that people were using apple cider vinegar with honey. I didn't have the honey, so i just took 2 tbls of apple cider vinegar and with in 1/2 hour I had relief. I have been taking it every 2 to 3 hours and within 16 hours my cough is minimal. After all those Dr visits and money,I have found something that works. Thanks again.

My 8 year old son has had a very bad cough for days now. In desperation during the night, I stumbled on your website. I tried the ACV and honey recipe, 50/50 and although it seemed to work for a short while it did not last. However, I tried again with only a spoonful of ACV and the results were fantastic. My father in law who is Greek swears that garlic, honey and vinegar are natures best natural medecines. He says we should all take a spoonfull of each once every day to stay healthy.

I had chronic cough for 6 years. I have been in Jewish Medical Center in Denver for many tests but the conclusion is nothing wrong with me. Every time I catch cold and it make me cough for three or four months. In August 17, 2007, I search for chronic cough remedy and stumble in to this site. I start taking ACV and honey the same day. The cough stopped the third days. I had surgery for my both knees, and the pain is constant. The ACV stop knee pain after the fourth day I take ACV. It's unbelievable. The cough does not go away completely. The ACV cure my cough about ninety percent. After suffer so many years, I am happy with the result. I still have to take ACV every day. Thank you for all of you who post your experience at the site.

My mother is in her 70s now and has had a persistant cough for the last 9 months, her throat was sore sometimes and very phlegmy, she would have bouts of coughing that would leave her chest in pain,doctors had prescribed click inhalers, we had tried all kinds of medicines,no cure though.i decided to check the net and found this sight, i read about the cider vinegar and honey remedies so i got a jam and filled it to halfway with apple cider vinegar and added the equivelant in honey, closed it and gave the mixture a good shake,its 9 hours now since my mother had her 1st dose(1 tablespoon)and 3 hours since her 2nd,she coughed up a scab from the throat within an hour, apart from a couple of minor coughs,all is quiet.To think of all the money these so called doctors make,and a simple remedy like this has appeared to have done the trick,many thanks to this site, p.s,taking the mixture myself, i've had a bit of a phlegmy throat myself for a long time,and my eyes have been extremely puffy, read it could cure the eye problem, will keep you posted on that one, once again thanks.

I also used mullein tincture for post covid congestion. I didn't have a cough but, extreme fatigue. Overnight my energy improved, literally day and night difference. (BTW, I didn't have the vax.) Recently, I had gone for my checkup and my doctor and a chest-xray confirmed my lungs were clear. (And I had been a smoker for decades, quit 12 years ago.)

I would think that you are inhaling particulates and that would aggravate the cough. Just my opinion.

I had a deep cough for a year and antibiotics didn't help.I had a x-ray and there was no infection the hospital said. I found a book on breathing properly called belly breathing.. Not breathing from the upper chest. After a little while the coughing stopped.

Maybe, after all that you went through, you needed the sleep and it allowed you to be comfortable enough to rest finally?

Gone! the first day - nothing hapened - she said lets just continne for another 5 days! well by the end of the 5th days all coughing has ceased. No monrning could - throughout the day and no night cough.

I used just a quarter of ACV and 3 tablespoons honey - with a litle water.

So glad I found this site .. it has made mu mother very happy. To think a simple household remedy could bring this amount of joy is unbeleiveable. my family are amazed!

Thanks Earth clinic.

My 6 year old daughter was coughing uncontrollably EVERY 2 seconds yesterday. She has allergies and a cough that accompanies it. Her allergies and cough lasts throughout the school year. However, yesterday she sounded like she had bronchitis. The cough was non- stop. I was very desperate for a solution for her cough. I stumbled across the site and went out and bought Apple Cider Vinegar. I tried the remedy and it worked. Today I bought _ Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother" and THAT DID IT. It has been 20 mins now AND NO COUGH. I am SO AMAZED I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOF TOP. I have spent so much money on cough syrups that DON'T WORK... this is all it took. My entire family will be taking this EVERY day as it has MANY MANY other health benefits as well. If you are desperate for a cough remedy THIS IS IT... please go and get ACV NOW, IT WORKS..

I had started to cough 2 months ago. I went to my doctor on several occasions just to be told to take claritin for my "allergies". Then, she told me it must be acid reflux and prescribed medication (w/o sending me to an ENT doctor). Both claritin and the acid reflux med DID NOT take my cough away. She also suggested I see a lung doctor which scared the hell out of me. So, I decided to take my health into my own hands and found your website. I went out that night to p/up ACV at my local organic store. I took 2 tablespoons w/water once a day. In 3 days, my cough subsided 90%. This stuff really works. I also don't feel bloated anymore (no matter what I eat) and have lost a couple of pounds!! I'm SO happy I'm not coughing anymore! THANK YOU!

I've had a cough for over a month. Saturday night it was worse than ever. I feel like I literally coughed for 6 hours straight. I was sure I was going to pass away. With nothing to loses, I started searching the internet and found this site. I used two table spoons of _______s ACV, two teasp of all natural honey, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda. I took it every few hours for a total of 3, or 4 times on Sunday. I only coughed a couple of times that night and by the next day it was 99% better. So, now that I know it works, I need to know how. It's really quite incredible! Thank you so much for having this site!!

MSM

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I have had a chronic cough for several years now, that the doctors tell me is asthma. Which I believe it is but after seeing a Naturopath, I now know that I also have an inflamed digestive system that also makes me cough. I initially took the supplements that the Naturopath gave me but decided that I was spending too much money. So now I'm following the Naturopath's food guideline (not strickly) and taking MSM. I started about a month ago at 1/4 tsp in a glass of water each morning before I eat. I am currently up to 1 tsp and I have been experiencing light nose bleeding when I lay down at night. My cough is not gone, but it is greatly diminished so I don't want to stop taking the MSM. Is the slight nose bleeding a problem? I do not have any other side effects that I'm aware of.

Sea Salt

Posted by Janet (In) on 03/07/2016

Bill. I agree. The last few years have been "go back" years. I mean go back to Ted's and your advice. Every time I use a remedy from Ted, I have success. If I try something else I usually wind up going right back to his remedies. Amazing body of work he provides. E.C. is the other miracle as we have this information at our fingertips. Your contribution is pretty great too as I get up to go get my sea salt in water I should have started last night.....I was using my ammonia spray from ted. Coughing is mold for me every time. Except this time. Forgetting that basic remedy number 1 is sea salt. Thank you Bill Thompson. Janet

Avoid Olive Oil

Posted by Om (Hope, Bc Canada) on 09/29/2015

Hello, Jin (Birmingham, UK) ---

Not too long ago the board that deals with olive oil internationally, decided to make it legal to sell olive adulterated with GMO and other chemicals and olive oil might only be a small percentage when the consumer purchases it.

Ordinarily, no one has complained so far about pure olive oil till the decision to deceive the consumer was made. Somebody even wrote a book about this travesty. Today there is not really a way knowing what one brings home and one has to research and use caution as there is no transparency.

Namaste, Om

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I seem to manufacture mucus-- a lot. The drainage never stops. It has been this way for a couple of years. I do get relief with ACV, but if I stop taking it, the cough returns. ANY ideas, help, advice-- PLEASE.
