Some children I see take 10, 20, 50, even a 100 rounds of antibiotics before they’re even five years of age; it’s unbelievable. Many doctors still freely prescribe antibiotics.

Children also love to eat a lot of sweat foods, ice creams and lollies and chocolates and things like that, which will further the yeast infection.
