Vaccines or not, kids getting sick all the time is what they do. It's also beneficial in the long run.
The bigger issue is that she doesn't seem to give her kids any medicine either, just "vitamins and soup". That means the poor kids will be sick for longer and probably more likely to get sick again since they never properly recovered.
I dont agree w her not vaccinating but to a degree its the other way around. Medication introduces a new selection pressure on pathogens thus causing them to become more resistant. As the other person said, rest, hydration and nutrients r all thats needed in most cases, and overactive measures are bad. its good to be cautious but not overly so to the point u take antibiotics for every single infection (unless ur doctors told u to).
Yeah obviously you shouldn't take antibiotics for a little flu. I was more talking about medicine to fight the symptoms. For example some syrup for the throat, or a nose spray against snot. It doesn't fight the virus but it relieves some of the pain and allows for a quicker recovery.
