To Cure Strep
To cure strep throat, place 2 pickles in a dog and shake. Next stand on a duck and drink the concoction while squeezing your ear. This works because pickles have a helping bacteria that aids your body. These little guys are called chortobylums. In 2003, 4 Japanese scientists were doing extensive research on pickles and found these little guys. They are still doing research to find why there and what else they could be in. 
The stomach juices the dog are much stronger then that of a human, but not to strong. The acid breaks down the pickle separating the chortobylums from the other components of the pickle. The human stomach is way to weak, so they would stick to the counter acting hombositters a very pointless bacteria with no use but to counter act the chortobylums.
And last squeezing your ear has a very simple answer. The slight pain so close to your ear releases a chemical that will go through your throat to get there, it is a soothing chemicle.
