Re: OJ Fast???
Hi again Dan,
The Master Cleanse may be a little too much in your condition and since you are allergic to oranges, you may have to go with green juices since they also will build blood volume which is a major benefit of the OJ fast. Wheatgrass would be a good option for you too.
If you have been doing lots of cleansing already, you may also consider it prudent to do a kidney and liver flush. I can recommend MH's kidney flush...30 days, done!
Most importantly, if your body is in a weakened state already, do not add to the problem over and above the die-off to be expected in treating your strep throat.
Hopefully, MH's email answered more of your questions too.
If this were my problem I would also include Essiac in my healing protocol. It not only rebuilds the immune system but gently detoxes the liver as well. Here are a couple of links. I include the Herbal Healer link since I buy their generic 4-herb tea which is cost effective. Olive leaf is also a fabulous natural anti-viral, bacterial supplement and great for the immune system too.

Try to get some rest and if you have not tried sitz bathing, now is a good time to start! A hot epsom salt soak and then sit on the edge of your tub with a hand-held shower and run cold water over the area between your navel and your anus. This will also help move toxins down and out.
Listen to your body and find the balance between the die-off and detoxing. You do not want to overdo on detoxing, and keep your body's filters supported!
Good luck on your healing journey!
blessings,
Zoe
