Well, not quite. I have never gargled with salt water. Yes, it's a good remedy. But this is too simplistic. I used to get several strep throats a year. Know what caused it? It wasn't eating something sweet before bedtime, nor was it eating sweets in general. It was getting a flu shot. When I stopped getting flu shots, I stopped getting strep throats, and I haven't had one since. That was 50 years ago.

Oh, and by the way, manuka honey is genuinely medicinal. And even ordinary honey has its place.
