Soothing strep for good
Q: Last winter, my son had four back-to-back cases of strep throat. He’s just getting over his first bout this season. Is there anything I can do to keep a repeat of last year from happening again?
Dr. Wright: Recurrent strep throat can be significantly reduced or even stopped altogether by eliminating — not just reducing, but eliminating — all milk and other dairy products. It sounds too simple to be true, but it works!
I learned this technique from the book Don’t Drink Your Milk! by Dr. Frank Oski, former director of the department of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and have found it to be effective hundreds of times in my own practice over the years.
