    We use dirt, fresh air and garlic.
    They're definitely immune to vampires but I'm not sure about microbes. They're going to catch a few bugs however healthy their immune system is.
    My Pump instructor swears by olive leaf extract but she was telling me how awesome it is whilst hunched over her tea, wiping her snotty nose.

    I have been dead-against them up until now and I ended up buying some multivitamins from the chemist on the weekend. I am over COMPLETELY over DS2 getting constant colds this long and cold winter (and being sent home from childcare - where he caught the darn thing). I think they are Pentivite (they are shaped into little koalas).

    Anyway, I've noticed an improvement. But that could be due to the vicks I've been rubbing on his feet and the onion I've chopped up and left in his room and the heater keeping his room warm....or, possibly the hot honey and lemon drinks I've been force-feeding him along with home-made chicken soup.

    Who knows - but I can't see them doing him any harm. We just pee out the excess our body doesn't need.
