The drug-free way to ditch strep throat Q: My grandson has had three cases of strep throat since November. The antibiotics help him get over it, but they don't seem to be doing much to keep it from happening again. Is there anything I can tell my son and his wife to do for him that will at the very least help cut down on the recurrences? JVW: Recurrent strep throat can be significantly reduced or even stopped altogether by eliminating -- not just reducing, but eliminating -- all milk and other dairy products. I learned this years ago from a book titled Don't Drink Your Milk! by Dr. Frank Oski, former director of the department of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. And since then, I've found time and time again that it really works. |
