Anything apple cider vinegar is garbage.

I tried this ridiculous apple cider vinegar concoction for a bad sore throat I had years ago. All it did was make me vomit and the sore throat got worse.

One that absolutely does work is garlic to remove warts. I had a wart on the inside of my forefinger and one on my thumb that have been there for as long as I can remember. Have picked them off only to have them grow back. Tried freezing, and they grew back. Then finally tried the garlic method. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rubbed it on the wart for about 15 minutes. Did this maybe 4 times over the span of a month or so. Both went away after about a month and have been gone ever since.

In junior high I got a charley horse and when I got home my great grandmother was at my house.

She saw me limping and told my mom to go get the witch hazel and put it on my thigh. Mom said she didn't have any witch hazel and maw maw just shook her head.

not true. Drinking a cup of ACV absolutely will unclog sinuses. Can be mixed with OJ. other liquids will work but not as quickly as ACV. It's difficult to down that stuff straight and not necessarily good for your esophagus.

wrong

I stuffed with a plantar wart for 2 years that wouldn't go away even after going to the doctor multiple times.

I tried ACD on a cotton ball held in place with duct tape and within a week it turned black and a few days later i scrubbed it off and it never came back.
