Boet: Absolutely so! It is remarkable how kids that are allowed to run free, are far less susceptable to illnesses, to kids that are being brought up in sterile conditions.
i bet like myself, you played with mud etc. Our mothers didnt run with anti germ lappies behind us. Now you hear of people complaining about their medical aids being tapped out because their kids are always sick. I know mothers who only give still water to their kids, their stomachs arent used to filtering at all. Tap water makes your stomach strong. I find it scary. I read a very interesting article put together by doctors in Australia, they refuse to give antibiotics. My sons doctor refuses to give children under 7 cough syrup, because their lungs must still get strong in order to fight. People watch way to much Dr Oz.
