The White House says President Barack Obama is getting some medical tests at a military hospital just outside Washington after complaining of a sore throat.

Press secretary Josh Ernest says that Obama's doctor, Ronny Jackson, suggested that the president go to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, for some diagnostic tests.

He must have more (or worse) symptoms than just a sore throat. We’ll find out just how sick he is if he disappears himself and Mr. Earnest (what a crock, the man’s name is such but he lies like a rug), pours out his usual slop into the trough for the media to bury their faces in and feign ecstasy.

Perhaps nobama’s problem is: it is a scientific fact that saying “I” and “Me” too much can make your throat sore.

One of these days, well after Obama’s era is over, we may discover how he spent most of his time when not on the golf course, or the John Stewart Show. In turns out, Obama had a hobby shooting range in the basement, and wait till you see his favorite lists of Targets, most you will be very familiar with. Even then, with all the time in the world to practice, his aim is cockeyed, with pellets landing wildly off center mass. He refuses to wear glasses or even contacts except when reading his Teleprompter.

I didn’t know Obamacare authorized a CT scan for sore throat.

The fermentation process in the Apple Cider Vinegar provides more good bacteria to battle infection. The apple is sugary, thus the glucose will produce a more potent version of germ killer. The Glucose allows this vinegar to continue growing more and more potent over time, unlike regular vinegar, which peaks or matures early, then begins to decline. That is my uneducated opinion, based on what I’ve always heard.

I find it hard to believe the WH doctor does not keep a cotton swab and petri dish in his office as well as a needle and tubes for blood draws.

I guess the President doesn’t mind using up valuable medical resources in a hospital even though his symptoms can be handled in his own on site, urgent care facility.

:) It doesn’t hurt my stomach at all. Some days I mix ACV with water, honey, ginger and cinnamon just to because it makes me feel good. A spoonful taken straight is a bit tough, but I tried it once for my very sore throat and was amazed. The pain was instantly gone.

I’ve seen only ACV used in home remedies and this is some info someone else posted online:

“ACV and white vinegar are different, but in some ways are similar. The differences between an apple cider vinegar and the distilled vinegar is apple cider vinegar contains minerals and malic acid as the common healthful effects. The organic components if often alkaline forming, in the long run.

The similarities between a white distilled vinegar and the apple cider vinegar is the acetic acid component, where if it is reacted inside the body of bicarbonates become an acetate, which has properties of anti-inflammatory conditions and limited antibiotic properties. I often use white distilled vinegar for external application, to reduce eczema and other skin problems, or even to improve skin condition as the white distilled vinegar reduces excessive calcium on the skin and often improve the skin condition to be more supple. Now, I may use this sometimes in alkalizing remedy if I wanted the sodium acetate portion to reduce excessive calcium buildup in the tissues, but that’s only if lemon or citric acid weren’t available since the body responds better to the lemon, perhaps because of the addition of the vitamin C too, and that citric acid in the lemon juice is a more effective chelators of calcium and some heavy metals, but it may not be effective in reducing
inflammations as the white distilled vinegar.

So the white distilled vinegar may not have the same quality as the apple cider vinegar and I used them only when such is not available while I find or try to get the apple cider vinegar, because apple cider vinegar contains minerals, and alkalizing components from the organic materials. However, there are very few people who are allergic to organic compounds, in which I may substitute completely (but not used white distilled vinegar) with just lemon and baking soda remedy.”

So bottom line, the malic acid and minerals available in the ACV make it a better choice for internal use? I’ve never tried white vinegar as a home remedy so can’t say whether it does or doesn’t work as well. I have used ACV for a very sore throat and was amazed at how it instantly and completely took the pain away. I often drink it mixed with water, honey, ginger and cinnamon just as a pick me up as well.

I should have checked back at the forum before replying to RL. Good info, thanks. My kids and I all love a version of “Good Girl Moonshine” made with ACV, now I know why it always helps us feel better.

As far as I know, the acetic acid (by product of the bactera) prevents bacteria, mold and virus growth, as it denies them a proper pH medium....
