When I used to start getting a sore throat, I would heat up water until  
boiling, add a shot of 80 proof rum, and add 2 tablespoons honey. If I knew  
where to purchase gluten-free rum or if rum were gluten-free, I'd recommend 
that  recipe. Drink that baby while it's hot, and no more sore throat the 
next day. Of  course, this only works when you first start feeling the sore 
throat coming  on.

The most helpful treatment for me is Sambucus by  Nature's Way which I get 
at the health food store. It contains elderberry,  echinacea, zinc,propolis 
& vitamin C. Also I use Elderberry & Zinc  lozenges by the Now
Co., also get it at the health food store. Both were  highly recommended by 
my family doctor. 

I also make a tea  of herbs listed in Jethro Kloss book, Back to Eden, for 
upper respiratory  problems. Mine usually start with a sore throat, slight 
runny nose, etc. The  herbs are chamomile, chickweed, coltsfoot,
eucalyptus, ginger, golden seal,  hops, horehound, hyssop, mullein, red 
clover & slippery elm bark. My health  food store has these in bulk & I mix  
them in equal parts, then sweeten  the tea with honey. Sometimes I put them  
in water in an open pot, on the  stove & use like a vaporizer.
