When I had strep throat almost 4 years ago I drank carrot, celery, and beet juice (it was the only thing I could get down for most of the week) and it was a really good, balancing nutritional drink. I also took Citrus Biflavonoids one a time and about a handfuls worth three times a day. They were really hard to get down though. Hope you get to feeling better Ev! :) Do you have a zapper? I love my Terminator...
